I'm very much enjoying this detailed exercise in ethnography!
For the record, I never really settled on a distinct ethnic background for Carolina and Maya. My area of the country's home to a sizable community of first and second generation immigrants from Mexico, so in the write-what-you-know tradition, it'd likely be easiest to say she's from Mexico.
But for my purposes it's enough to know she's a second-generation immigrant from a Spanish-speaking area. Could be Cuban, Mexican, Colombian, Venezuelan, Puerto Rican.. She does have bright blue eyes, so maybe Argentina? But, her heritage isn't overly important, other than the fact her parents drilled into her the importance of making the most of her opportunities, turning her into the uptight lady she is today. But, she also became pregnant at a young age, dropped out of college to be a stay-at-home mom, had that relationship end in divorce, and then re-entered the workforce without a lot of formal education or skills.
So, she landed at the Rhodenbarr (the name of Guy's condo building) and worked her way up to her current position after a few years of toiling in less glamorous, low-paying jobs. Which is why she's a bit of an over-achiever. While a lot of people would look at her job as a pretty basic service industry job, it's a point of pride for her.
.. also, I invented Carolina after A) deciding I wanted Guy to have someone he could interact with at his building and B) I'd just finished watching porn featuring a Colombian girl with bright blue eyes. Don't let me fool you, at the end of the day, most of my decision-making is driven by horny impulse.
When is next update guys?
It's imminent. Working on the last handful of scenes now, and hoping to have an Alpha out on Friday. It will likely not have full art and such, but it'll have a complete script/variables, and 90% finished art. The Beta will follow shortly after for one last bug-check, and then the final version.
soooo the taboo patch doesn't work for the beta?
I sent you a PM.
Long story short for anyone interested in subbing: The Patreon versions have had the taboo stuff removed from the game files themselves. The scripts and image folders are edited.
So, folks have three options: Play vanilla-only Friends Indeed, subscribe on SubStar for the 'classic' version of Friends in Need, or link their Patreon to the Neon Ghosts Discord, where you'll have access to tier-restricted channels that'll offer you options.
