VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [Ch.1 Remake v0.25] [NeonGhosts]

[Elduriel]

I wouldn't call that a hate fuck at all lol

it's because it wasn't

 

[Jarulf]

yep, can't wait to see more of Nickidoodle Even before the rework her romance route was fucking awesome.

True. I don't really care all that much about the other girls, other than helping them - no strings attached. A couple tempt me, but for a main, head canon pt, its Nicki all the way.

before the ch 1 remake I keep jumping between Nicki , Risa and Ashe as my favorites. But I think Nicki is far head now at least until we get a good update for Ashe and Risa then things might change again but I don't think they will.

I played the Ashe route not too long ago, she is a very close second. Good back-story, cute as fuck, and so on. Also her sex scenes are just great (not the rapey ones, wish I could forget those, regret watching them)

I like several of the other girls, but I liked Nicki the best from the start.
I mentioned once to a friend that I felt bad about cheating on my main LI in games like this (half jokingly). The cruel woman laughed at me, but thought it was cute. I can live with that.
But I do tend not to sleep around all that much in these games, or even do many paths, unless it's a pure harem game.

Yeah I make several paths cause I don't like cheating hell I won't sleep with a side girl even if my MC isn't together with a LI yet and isn't cheating. As in my eyes it's cheating if I dedicate the save for her.

Making multiple paths sometimes feels like cheating if there is a girl I really like. It doesn't always stop me, even if it doesn't feel right.

NewNicki could well be one such girl.

Hey NeonGhosts you may have ruined large parts of your fantastic game for me by making Nicki perfect.

NeonGhosts
I haven't played the remake, but I looked at some images – JPG quality is too low, there's a lot of banding on gradual gradients.
Please fix it, no one will die from a few extra hundred MB.
And if it's so necessary to save them, then use 10-bit AVIF. It gives much better quality than JPG for the same size. I can even convert for you if you provide the original png/bmp files.

yep, I feel the same way

 

[PHIL101-YYouPPHard]

Who on earth says he is? That's a pathetic strawman. What he is is someone in a completely different class to the weak and vulnerable people that loan sharks prey on.

Guy fell for the crypto scam, that's why he lost everything. He only got a huge payout because the stars aligned. So, I would say Guy, at least in the beginning of the game, is definitely a 'vulnerable' type of person.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Yea the rework was actually worth it as opposed to just being more of the same with improved graphics. Improved Nikki by a lot, I liked Ashe's cameo, and I liked how it changed the story by showing what an ass Brent was and how Guy was partially at fault for keeping his mouth shut when he saw what brent was doing to Nikki. Also like having gary coleman as Guy's realtor and his new lawyer is pretty cute.

I get what you mean sometimes i'll be playing a game and a different path and when I see the other LI i like just as much or more im like fuck now I wish I was playing her path instead. So it does feel like you are cheating in away or at the very least makes me go I wish I could have both of them as I hate missing out on her content even tho it isn't her save.

But I force myself to play every path unless they are horrible characters ( like Tori) that I don't want to go near. Tho exception is ex girlfriends and wives because for me even if they are horrible I kind of like playing a path with an ex just because I like the idea of getting back together , repairing a broken relationship or see how bad the MC gets screwed over by getting back with his ex.

Exactly. Some games just have this girl you really like, but you also want to see what some of the other paths give you. Occasionally I stray back to The One and Only, even if I try to play another girl's path.

It's very rare I play every path, so I always miss a ton of stuff (and then I feel like I'm sort of being rude to the dev, by not checking out all the work they've done).
Oh, her. Yeah not going her or anyone like her.

I'm a sucker for the (childhood) best friend trope, so those relationships are what I often gravitate towards. So Nicki fits well in that respect, and I'm really curious about Cassie and if we can repair that relationship. Incestuously or not.

Some games if I play another path I have to replay my favorite girls path about the same time as I feel like im cheating on them if I play another.

yeah im a sucker for childhood friends especially when done right but more so when they live next door. But im more of a fan when it feels like the LI is a friend first which is why I love Nicki. She feels like a first before a girlfriend / lover whatever and those make the best LI and paths to me personally.

Yeah that's part of the reason why I play every path since the devs worked hard so i want to see everything they have to offer unless I really don't like someone or something. Plus im a selective completionist where I feel the game is incomplete for me if I don't check it out

The Nicki remake scene is tamer now and i miss the slapping and spitting.

And this is no more too.

The scene was great, but it feels like the old guy goes from 0 to 100 in the first chapter. Some build-up would’ve been better. That scene only really makes sense if the guy had been thinking about raping Nicki for a while,even back when they were friends, like a total psycho... Still, I’ll miss the old renders.

In the OG Nicki came asking for money for her and for Brent, which can be seen as a betrayal from Guy's pov. I'm not saying that going full American Psycho on Nicki's ass was morally right, but at least there was some kind of fucked up justification. With the remake that justification is gone, now Nicki doesn't know about Guy's fortune and she doesn't ask for help either.

tbh I only thought the Nicki Dark path made sense in the intro before anyways but when she returns it stopped making sense to me.
