EDIT: For anyone reading this, the Nicki patch was just a little joke I put out to play with the fans here. Be aware that installing it will revert your game back to version .375, so if you really want to see it, install it in a back-up copy of the game.


Well, gang.. Here it is. People have asked for it. Screamed for it. I've gotten private messages raking me over the coals, people pledging to never play the game again, and a smattering of poor reviews. I know when to admit I'm wrong.

So, here is.. . If you install this patch into your main FiN folder and allow it to merge with the existing "game" folder, it will overwrite existing script script files, and add new images to support a new path. With this path, you can choose to excise Nicki entirely from the story.

Just start from the beginning and, when you get to the choice to help her or not, choose "Tell her to fuck off."

I mean, I get it. I was also mad when she came back, but that's too harsh even for me. People are crazy.

So I don't mind Nicki but I gave the patch a try, just to see if it was legit. I'm actually really surprised by the quality. I figured it would be this begrudging thing that sloppily cut out huge swathes of content, but Neon actually put some real effort into this. I'm impressed, especially since I know he didn't want to make this at all in the first place. It is definitely a little awkward as a main character has been removed, but it still makes sense and the story flows.

It also introduces a new character! That came as a big surprise, but definitely made narrative sense as Nicki was no longer in the picture. I won't spoil anything but I really liked her, she has a unique 'strong and silent' type personality that makes her unique from the other girls, would love to see more of her, even in the 'main' updates that obviously will still include Nicki.

Like I said I don't dislike Nicki personally, and I know you probably won't go forward with this patch Neon, but honestly it was pretty good. I'd like to see a continuation of this, even if it is nothing more than a little side route to the game. The people who hate Nicki and have been clamoring for something like this will definitely like it.

Well that's.... a little extreme....
But I guess the people harassing you for it weren't paragons of being moderate...
Maybe one day I'll try it but I don't hate Nicki. She's just a shitty decision maker :LOL: and trying to do better (romancing her is still out of question because of everything that happened ofc) but I won't remove her completely like that.
It was your vision, the way you wanted the game ; I'll play it that way

Is that new Nicki render buff going to be implemented early in the game? It's great

Yup! When I redo the first chapter in full, the new renders will look like that. I need to fine-tune a few things, but the lighting and camera angles will better match all the stuff I did from Chapter Two, Three, and Four.

how many chapters is the game to have? when will you do a redo of first chapter? when the game is completed or in the middle of development?
Unsure on the number of chapters. We're a long way from the ending, but I'd like to do ten chapters as the first "season," and then go from there.

After the second half of Chapter Four is completed, I'm going to pivot to redoing Chapter One, and cleaning up the code for the following few chapters.

I made a lot of mistakes in the early code, owing to the fact I didn't.. know what I was doing. That's why you can get a blowjob from Nicki, and the game treats it like you had sex. Or you can kiss Gabby and grab her ass when she's already mad at you, and next time she sees you she just brushes it off as you being drunk. I basically didn't make the code complex enough to handle all those little variables.

But, when I redo Chapter One, I'll also be adding a few things to make those paths flow better - likely necessitating another 50ish renders spread over the following chapters. I may look at addressing a few other things to, like story inconsistencies that have been bothering me.

Sounds like my typical Friday night with too much alcohol and too little recollection of the events...

Is this path going to be included in the main game going forward or do we have to patch it in manually every update?

Edit: Oh. It's a gag. Nevermind. >>
