Yea, there are a lot of times where trying to complete a playthrough of a path by making sure you pick only the right choices just SUCKS the fun out of a game. I haven't even finished all of my playthroughs of BADIK yet because 1. I still don't like ep 9 and 2. It just seems like a pretty dauntingly tedious task instead of actually doing something enjoyable.
You start to just break it down to a strategic, almost formulaic process and you subconsciously ignore everything else about the game. Coupled with the fact that doing so many playthroughs just to see minute changes in dialogue that are essentially meaningless to the plot as a whole (illusion of choice) makes you crazy bored with the same scenes you've seen a bunch of times already.

I disagree, it annoying to replay but to say it's mean-less this coming from someone who played many times, even used a mod to save time.

Let's just say replaying to play all main girl routes and MC whore was fun.

I was nervous on playing as DIK but it was fun, and the amount of times you can be a whore is funny.

Ah ok. Yeah, I was thinking of findom as just using money to dominate someone in general, i.e. girls can do it to guys via onlyfans and I guess tiktok etc. (ganggang mm so good lmao); and guys can do it via what Guy (and surely other rich guys) offer to women. I guess I should switch to something else if people use that term differently.

Can't speak for badik since I've never played it, but thankfully Neon's variables definitely add to reactivity, immersion, and depth. I know what you're talking about and I've experienced it too... it sucks the fun out and honestly makes me frustrated with the dev as well. Finding Neon's little path forks though honestly feels like finding a gold mine to explore rather than a disappointing and ultimately meaningless easter egg. I mean, it must be a megafuckton of added work (Ashe's meeting in the park after the alley/apartment by itself is seriously HUGE in scope of dialogue and interaction variation... not to mention every other scene), but there are definitely a number of people out there who are represented by every route and subroute that's available I think. Hell, I would've thought for sure no one actually plays the friend routes, but they've cropped up here to say hello from time to time. (degenerates of course, but we must be gracious :p:LOL:) Me personally, every single route feels like it's for me haha. Maybe friend route is the exception, but even that one I'll look at out of curiosity some day. Like, for example, if Guy doesn't enter into a relationship with any of the girls by the end, do we get to see him finally admit to himself that he's gay? Or maybe he makes up with mommy and gets to walk into the sunset with her? "Sorry ladies, none of you compare to dommy mommy" :ROFLMAO:

Yea the route forks really do feel like you're taking a completely separate path. Not even talking about the archetypes but even if you for example don't pursue Gabby, you meet Viola on your own.

Mmm, yes. Frickin' degenerates indeed. I think the worst kind, in fact. Who the hell would play a friend route?!

Yea, I don't know. I still can't tell whether that VN has just "jumped the shark" or I'm just burnt out. I'm not talking about separate routes for the Main LIs. I'm talking about all the little things he spends time on that really don't amount to anything more than fun, little variables in the dialogue. I'm not even gonna go into the good amount of railroading it does because this is the thread for "Friends in Need". I just want to clarify myself. There's a rabbit hole you can go down if you have a playthrough for every character and not just the main LIs.

Which is WHY I like "Friends in Need" and NeonGhost's writing. Almost every choice has an impact (and he's even doing a rewrite for Ch 1 to remedy the ones that don't). Every route you go down still has substance and it's not just cool effects and animations to distract the player long enough to say "Hey! You just clicked around for 2 hours but it's considered 2 hours of content!". I don't even care about the fact that there's no sound in "Friends in Need". That's how engrossed I am in the story. I'm not saying DPC is a bad writer. I'm just saying Neon is leagues above him.

Edit: Eland51298 Nah, get the fuck outta here fanboy. Lol. You haven't been following it long enough to not be jaded with it or you're just another DPC sycophant. I swear, anything less than dickriding the guy gets a facepalm. So tired of you jackasses who made that thread toxic and are just roaming around making other threads just as bad.

I'm the degenerate who does friendship paths
It feels like cheating being with more than one girl
That's why I will have a save for each girl
Only on the romance path of course

Even if some of the girls say they don't mind if I'm with other people
I can't do it
After all you guys know me
Multiple girls aren't usually my style

Dev Update! 8/15/23
Hey, folks! Sorry to get this up a day late, but I spent most of yesterday rendering, and by the time I was done just didn't have the energy to do anything else. But hey, I'm here today! Let's party.
I'm stuck at my day job right now, but I'm currently putting the finishing touches on the script for the next installment, and the final version should be available later today for patrons at the $15 level. This weekend it will go out to folks at the $5 level, and then next week to the $2 level. In order to make sure you get the download file as soon as possible, I'd strongly recommend you make a Discord account and link it to your Patreon, as I usually drop the link over there in a tier-restricted channel before I post it here.
Above I've selected a variety of images from the upcoming build, which are fairly representative of what you can expect for v. 0.4.
I'm pretty happy with how this next installment's come out, but if I'm being honest, there's still stuff I'd like to tinker with. Little bits where I'd like to add some dialogue and renders, etc. But, if I kept tinkering with it forever, it'd never be done. So for now I'm just forcing myself to make peace with it, so I can get the update out. I'll circle back later to expand on scenes as necessary, once I've gotten a little rest.
As always, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
