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

[The ArcKnight]

Okay the update was excellent.
I am so happy we finally are getting Ashe back in the saddle! It's super sad that gabby had to be sidelined but with us picking up her dad the following day, I suspect we'll get a chance with Gabby soon.

Nicki is the MVP of the update. I don't get how you can't be a fan of those big honey brown eyes. The dialogue, the banter, the mournful expressions on her face as she's fighting against feeling worthy of the MC's love (on the romance path) she's just so damn endearing! I wanna put a baby in that girl and a ring on that finger. Tattoos be damned! (which were fairly hot after the 1st iteration)

Also, I really wish we could have hired Britt and Viola for the babysitting gig. I just need a reason to be able to hep them out financially. Pepper too. Maybe we can get all 3 of them moved into that apartment complex Nicki is in and let them live rent free for a bit to help them all back on their feet? Though we'd have to have pepper drop her deadbeat father....Hrm...

Thanks for the amazing update again. I for one think the Mason situation was handled very well. Never liked a trans character in a Lewd game before that I actually liked the spicy scene with, neonghosts, you really do some magic with your game.
Just asking, but was wreck it Ralph an inspiration for Cole?

 

[Jimayo]

I contest that comment. The stories in, for example, Harem Hotel are pretty unique, and not something you see in every harem game.

On Distant Shores.

I feel like being a bad guy here is much more fun.

 

[Crosaith.]

I chose mostly wholesome content and really enjoyed it. Not sure which girl I'll be picking for my canon playthrough. Ashe & Carolina are 10/10's. Nicki had a rough start, but she's growing on me. Risa & Brittani are fun trouble.

 

[NathanD7]

Bad guy for quick mental insanity fap, good guy for no pussy but sane normal mental state.

 

[Uriel ☁]

He also said that one of the characters is already open to an open relationship, not sure which character yet

My money is on Ashe, that girl is kinky as hell!

Also, I really wish we could have hired Britt and Viola for the babysitting gig.

The list of candidate babysitters is quite long and both of them are included. You need a certain relationship status to suggest them, so you can't if you mistreated them. Otherwise is probably a bug I previously pointed out.

Oh man those Mason choices really throw you through a philosophical conundrum.
I want to get people's thoughts on this situation and see how each person views this.

I chose to play as the caring corrupting bastard since the start but even for my playstyle that scene was borderline.
Already during his backstory I just wanted to hug and console him. When the choice came up I had to stop and think about it for a sound couple minutes. Ultimately I accepted it for playstyle continuity sake, but I'll go to any lenght to help him out lol.

great update. barely an hour in length. Wish they were longer.

 

[justintime16]

wt/gallery mod?

 

[Avaron1974]

Mason stole the show. Super adorable even after such a shitty life.

I have to admit that while Lina was going to be my main LI, Nikki has crept on in without me even noticing.

I didn't realise she was growing on me until the coffee shop with the romance choice. Her reaction plus how she acts with the mini person is sweet and she is deff waifu material.

Only thing holding it back is she still hasn't dealt with her ex and i'm wanting rid of him. I'm worried that the longer she takes to deal with him i'll start getting turned off her again.

 

[w123t4]

Brittani is perfect! And the great girl always get a jerk boyfriend I wonder why.
Hope in next chapter we can start the sis content.

 

[Pablor]

compressed or mac version?

 

[CountKael]

Fantastic update once again!
Mason stuff is well done that I'm glad we can help him/her with no strings attach. plus that small scene where she/he flinches when you reject the bj is just so sad yet so good storytelling.

But im still surprise why MC still has no bodyguard or something. i dont know how rich philanthropist minds works but shouldnt he have a bodyguard or atleast a driver for safety. specially with his near miss with the bum that stole mason's bag and with the threat of Nikki's ex looming .

 

[Ragnar]

Yes, the MC going around messing with other people business without any protection or training is like asking for trouble. Brent or some other will come back sooner or later.
The hobbo scene was hilarious tho.
-use violence
(Neat, let's show everyone our kung fu)
-hobbo has a butter knife
-Guy's life flashes before his eyes
-kicks the hobbo in the balls
-Run, motherfuckers, run!

I think I'd forgotten just how good and pervy this one is (I'm thinking maybe I've forgotten to install the patch before sometimes, I only noticed that after a bit and re-started this update).

I though Mason was m2f trans (and just megapassing as per porn game logic), and was getting ready to treat him like a girl on my nice path but a trap/sissy on my mean one. It definitely threw me for a bit there, even after their convo I was expecting something different when he undressed. Will be interesting to see how that plays out differently on my 2 saves, but even on my nice guy run I don't really wanna be getting him testosterone or helping him become guyish, hmm.

Roughing up Pepper was a bit unrewarding because of how well she took it, but I presume that won't last... what did happen to the money though? If it was the previous owner sneaking back in and taking it someone would have seen them by now. Once I did my nice guy one then I got to hear about Travis' addiction and find the bookstore card, but I don't get how anyone from there like Gabby coulda been stealing it.

Hopefully get some action with the amputee later on, though I'm not sure what leverage could be gotten on her and it feels super risky if she's got a reporter father.

Nice to see Gabby again, hopefully next update we'll get the fruits of our labours when bringing her completely to heel. Nice guy path seemed to go off the rails there, I thought it'd end up in sugarbaby land at least, but maybe it'll come back around.

I'm hoping the kids talk is foreshadowing knocking some girls up... perhaps we already did with Pepper this update, I can't remember about Nikki being on birthcontrol or not and I think the MC had come in her plenty by this point... I am curious how things will play out with the receptionist, she's too useful to be a dick to really, but she got significantly hotter this update, I'd not really checked her out much before.

Spoiler: Error on my nice dude playthrough.

I really hope this gets a gallery added at some point though, I imagine it's the sorta thing that's better to prepare for earlier rather than after tons more scenes are added.

[X33Z]

What does the patch do?

yes, still works/needed.

 

[katzenstreu]

What does the patch do?

the option to set the age for a few girls and be really mean to nicki. not sure what is missing later without the patch cuz i never played far without it. i guess the rape content is cut out.
