soooo the taboo patch doesn't work for the beta?
NG has changed the way taboo content is unlocked, or he was definitely going to. I think the softer versions have a different name now (Friends Indeed?). If you've already got the $15 Beta it's probably unlocked anyway.

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.

Do y'all go full white knight and seperate save full dark or a mix of both?

And if it's a mix which ladies are you nice to and which are you a bastard to?

I can't be mean to Nikki Ashe Brittni or Pepper in any save and then I have separate one for dark path Viola/Gabby.

Also how old is Gabby meant to be with Taboo patch? IIRC Brittni and her ex are a year older but she hasn't started college yet (but she can legally take nude photos) so 18-19 for Brit and 17-18 for Gabby? It's close enough to legal I'm not sure why the taboo patch even lets you change the age.

I am not playing any dark path. I just don't like it. The only dark path I accept is when the girl is a full-on B-word. And none of the girls in this game are meeting that criteria.

Being a decent human being = white knight I guess. :LUL:

To answer your question though, I'm on all love/romance paths with everyone so far. (or at least picking the options that lead to those paths) I love male domination though, so I'm glad with Ashe that she naturally loves being a sub so you get to dominate her on love path. I will also be doing a bit of a domination focused love path for Mason since she seems to enjoy it to an extent and it's not locked to a dark path.

If Joshy asks tell him, I torture Nicki and be the nicest person ever walked on earth to others. :devilish:In reality I usually play nice with some consensual spice with everyone.;)

I mean Guy is literally a white knight investor for businesses. And the girls are almost all quintessential damsels in distress. Maybe not Ashe shes confident self assured doesn't really need Guy but dude for real he goes beyond "decent human being" for Nikki, Gabby, Brit, Viola and soon to be pepper. It's not deragatory but he is absolutely a white knight.

He is like the meme of the guy that sees a sexy, slightly crazy girl in a shitty situation and goes "I can fix her" haha

Yeah maybe in a financial sense, I suppose he is, he goes around and uses money to fix a lot of their problems. I personally don't think that his attitude screams white knight though, well, maybe towards Gabby and Nikki a bit, but mostly he is just there doing what ANY decent human being would do. (I would hope anyway)

Also white knight is DEFINITELY used as a derogatory term now-a-days, you might not mean it that way, but it certainly has negative connotations surrounding it. The term doesn't bother me personally, I just thought it was funny it was being used at all when to me Guy doesn't really come off as one tbh, besides throwing around money.

And that finger goes up her butt. :ROFLMAO:

Anyway, good Guy is just a nice person doing good deeds and also redistributing some of the wealth he luckly got in that pyramid scheme that bitcoins are.

The wait for this game, while incredibly worth it, is somewhat killing me. I think I may need to do another playthrough again. Any word on when the next update is?

Soon! I'm doing sex scenes now, which tend to go pretty quickly. Hoping to have an Alpha out this week.

Until then, here's a feature from this time last month on Patreon/SubStar. A little back-story for Britt, told through the lens of her social media.
