VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [Ch.10 v0.71] [NeonGhosts]

[NeonGhosts]

Me-wow.



Someone on the Discord asked when MC would get a dungeon, but my thought process is, "Why not use what you already have?"

Though, now I really want to see the poor contractor who has to come install a catgirl cage in MC's studio..

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

Have to wonder how diferently this scene will play out between the good Guy and rapist Guy routes.

 

[Ragnar]

A dungeon is too much work for little pay off imo. I'm not against some bdsm like Nicki's evil route but for the dungeon you need extra assets and poses.

I feel like given the photo set nature of the location, it could perhaps be explained away.

I agree with this though. Ghosts is better than just about everyone else in being able to tell a drastically different narrative, purely through writing, using the same assets and images.

Most of those assets include autofit for standard size models meaning some manual pose adjustment would be required for shorter ones, but I don't think it would be a ton of extra work compared to the usual.

If NeonGhosts wants to add it I'm fine with it. But what about the good guy route? Is Guy into bdsm? So far in the good guy route the only one into it seems to be Ashe. Guy doesn't even know what to do when Ashe asked for it. It's a funny scene if you slap her tho

I'll admit, part of my reticence re: a dungeon scenario is just that I don't think it really fits with what we know of Guy. Dark Guy isn't really a hedonist so much as an opportunist. He's not above a little bondage, as the opening to Chapter 4 illustrated, but I don't see him having a dedicated space for his proclivities.

The dude lives pretty modestly for a millionaire. As we saw last update, his second home is a renovated studio apartment in a bad neighborhood, which he kept for wholly sentimental reasons. I don't think he's a mansion-and-sex-dungeon type of dude.

That said? I keep imagining a scenario where Guy winds up at a party with the true old-money rich of his city, and gets a glimpse at the dark, creepy shit those people get up to. Which could lead to him rejecting or embracing that kind of life. That's a ways out, though. Might make a good Season One cliffhanger.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

Seems like a interesting idea. Looks of debauchery could happen on that setting.

 

[Erotica Biblion]

I'd go so far as to say I tend to find the concept of a sex dungeon room extremely corny, in a way that doesn't seem to fit the narrative, except perhaps something like:

Guy needs to talk to some exploitative banker, comes to see him out of usual hours and discovers him getting humiliated by a dominatrix, or something like that.

I don't really see a substantive difference personality-wise between nice guy and dark guy. It was like a single decision in a moment just knocked him onto a different path. It is like dark guy is a fantasy about himself that nice guy has, and he could still be that guy, but in a moment he chooses the kinder path because it will be more effective in getting what he desires in the long run. In contrast, dark guy just made the decision to sacrifice long-term happiness for short-term gratification. I think that if nice guy found and partner that was into that sort of treatment then he would have no compunctions about letting dark guy out to play. Maybe I'm just cynical, though. The idea that he could meet real true-blue aristocratic sadists would be interesting just to gauge his reaction. It could either corrupt nice guy or show dark guy that the end of the path he is walking isn't a destination where he wants to arrive.

tldr; 320ish images currently completed, with another 40-50 necessary to wrap up Pepper's scene. Once her scene is done, I'm going to release a new demo for my $15+ patrons, containing the first three scenes of the next installment.

 

[ViperGts151]

Good game enjoyed playing this one tbh tho My sadistic ass plays the violence route first then tries the other two gets to the friend/nice route and screams wtf isn't there a kick her ass to the curb and tell her to fuck off option lol(referring to Nicki)

BDSM is not like in some movies or porn games. Everything in bdsm has to be consensual between the parties involved. They have safe words in case something goes wrong or too far for someone involved. It's just sex roleplay with leather and steel.
Good guy Ashe scene can be a good bdsm one because she asks for it. In fact she only has an orgasm if Guy plays the bdsm part.
On the other hand evil route Nicki is the fantasy bdsm trope we can see in many porn games or movies. Abuse and rape.

You could say that in consensual BDSM relationship, the one that has more power is the sub, since they have to give final consent on everything.

I've really missed traditional drawing lately, so I thought I'd try rendering a couple of the girls in a cartoony faux-anime style, while my PC was busy running renders. Kinda makes me want to do some FiN comics on the Patreon..

that makes no sense at all and implies the dom somehow doesn't need to give consent.. it's called "consensual" because both parties agree not because one has power over the other

It has only now dawned upon me how talented you are, seriously, I applaud you!

Your writing has always been very descriptive and engaging, which is rare to see on this site considering English isn't the native language. But, apart from using some fancy words, you've always put in a lot of detail to how you pace your story, describe the setting, what each character in a scene feels at almost all moments and their dialogues are great.

The only reason I've just gone on and on about your writing (apart from genuinely liking it) is cause I wanted to tell you that I would have probably enjoyed your game just as much if it was only a novel with no visuals in them.

Now I'm finding out you have great artistic skills as well, those drawings looks amazing. Honestly I feel like lucky that a man with your artistic talents has the same kinks as I do. (Except for the hair choices lol, which I don't love but at least find refreshing).

All in all, I'm just glad you're loving working on this game so much and we're getting frequent dev updates from you. Hope you get enough crowd-funded support as well

 

[NeonGhosts]

General FYI: I completed Pepper's scene as written last night. I didn't check the final render count before I left for work, but I think Chapter Four: Part Two is nearing 350 renders now.

But, in the course of writing Pepper's scene, I realized it was leading to a couple of other places I'd like to explore. So, I'm expanding it a bit. It's already written, but now I'll need more renders than initially planned. Womp, womp. Still, I'm going to put out a demo for what I currently have this Friday, and those alternate routes will just be put in the final release, as a little surprise for everyone.

Thank you, that's very kind! I've been drawing since I was knee-high. Never had much success with it, but it's still fun. I also did those Purple Puma pages in the opening of Chapter 3. And the Star Warriors screens in Chapter One.

Honestly, working on FiN has made me think about writing some smutty short fiction in my downtime. If I do I'll post it on the Patreon, and let people here know about it. Could be a lot of fun!

We are all friends in need and these hotties need our long lasting unflinching attention to game.


Here, take my phone, just ... do not break my aching heart throbbing for you with a bass boost.

Hey, you need to go where the story takes you. Sometimes you prune the branches but sometimes the branches become the trunk. It's just the nature of the beast. I don't think that anybody complains that there are too many renders in an update except the unfortunate soul who is compressing them.
