I don't like telling people how they should feel about these things.. But, the age gap, and society's treatment of it, is a component of their relationship. In real life, people probably would look sideways at Gabby and Guy's relationship, and not just due to their ages. On her romance path, Guy himself points out that he doesn't want people to assume he used his connection to the bookstore to coerce or influence a relationship. That looks a little sketchy, right? A guy shows up to invest in the business of a woman who's his age, and winds up dating her daughter?
Assuming everyone diligently picked a 18+ age for Gabby (can you still choose her age?), if IRL a 18something girl would show interest in me in my mature age i would just remind her that i could aboundantly be her father and recommend she considers someone her age. Not that i wouldn't be flattered and all but it wouldn't be the right thing for her (and i presume such a young girl would fell stale very quick for all guys my age).

Yet, Friends in Need IS A FUCKING PORN GAME dudes! Relax! :D Have fun with a harmless lolita fantasy!

Heterosexual (straight) - attracted to the opposite gender.
Homosexual (gay) - attracted to their own gender.
Bisexual - attracted to men or women.
Pansexual - attracted to any gender. I know they seem similar, but there is a difference.
Demisexual - does not experience sexual attraction without a romantic attachment.
Asexual (ace) - does not experience sexual attraction, or only to a very limited degree. Can still experience romantic attraction.
Aromantic (aero) - does not experience romantic attraction, or only to a very limited degree. Can still experience sexual attraction. (Pretty sure this one is me.)
Queer - not conforming to traditional gender or sexuality roles.

And of course, none of these have anything to do with gender, only sexuality.
Fck man i don't know i m a demisexual until now thx buddy.

didn't know about some of those definitions as I never heard of some before. But id say im somewhere in the middle of Demisexual and either Asexual or Aromantic not sure which. I lean more heavily towards Demisexual for sure but there are some games or instances where it's more of a sexual attraction than romantic for me.

People focus too much on useless labels. Just focus on licking a girls butthole and making sweet love to her.

Hell it's what I'm doing in FiN and everyone who knows me knows that's not what I usually do.

Is the age gap between Guy and Gabby weird? He's like 30 something and she's 18 I'm attracted to her but I care about how Guy is perceived by people I don't want them thinking he's a dirty old creep taking advantage of a teenager.
The thing is Gabby is "18" *wink* *wink* She acts and looks like a jailbait. While Britt or Peeper may be jailbait territory too they don't give that creepy vibe. Gabby looks like the younger girl in the game, Maya doesn't count. This is fantasy and all that but if you want to make the story a bit realistic GuyxGabby relationship would be frowned upon by others.

This has confused me cause Gabby is 18 right? Like the game lets you set her age but just given the context of what she says and how she talks it sounds like she is a legal adult. But why let us set age then? Was this just a remnant from an old version that was changed for patreon compliance?

Pretty sure there are a handful of more conservative countries that require the age to be 21. Allowing players to set the age could just be a an easy solution to cover several bases & make us all happy.

So was the close friends tier released today?
It's been up on my Discord for a couple hours, but I'm just now getting it up on SubStar and Boosty. I usually wait to upload everything until I've built Friends Indeed too, which can take a minute. Then, I realized I had screwed up an important scene jump on an alternate path, and had to rebuild and re-upload stuff.

Also, for anyone who plans on subscribing: Please, please, please for the love of God, because I deal with this on every release, no matter what say: If you're going to subscribe for Friends in Need (with taboo content able to be enabled via patch) please do not subscribe on Patreon, which only offers Friends Indeed (with taboo content removed down to the code).

Honestly? Because I was screwing with different game functions, and learning Ren'py. So, I was just trying stuff. When I re-release the game with a new Chapter One, that function will be removed. It's already removed from the code of the Friends Indeed.
