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

[CrazyRabbit]

I've been wondering something NeonGhosts

In the case where you reject Nicki when she tries to be Friends with Benefits ; will she be showing glaring cases of jealousy/desperate attempt to seduce when you inevitably woo someone else or will she become the perfect wingman ?
...wingwoman ?....wingzilla ?

Oo interesting question. Obviously I'm not dev, but Nicki doesn't seem like the super jealous/desperate type to me. If I had to guess, I'd think she'd either be respectfully distant about it or a good ol' wingbitch After all, she knows MC fucks other chicks and doesn't seem to have an issue with it, even teases him about it. Though maybe that's a defense mechanism

No thanks Mason should stay as she is. If the dev chose to go down this moronic route with her, furthering her delusions and giving her the funds to mutilate herself would ruin any and all appeal her character has left.

I highly doubt he would. He's basically just confirmed (if I understood) that Mason's only interested in going so far in their transitioning (definitely no surgery, probably no hormones or very, very minor amount). Sounds like Mason mostly just wants to be called he/him and look like a tomboy, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

And anyways, even if he were adding that story beat, I don't think you'd have to worry on the corruption or dark route

Hmm... I guess you stayed on her path from the start. Stay off her path and pay attention to the things she says and does later. When she sees you with someone else, you can see the sadness and she desperately tries to get you to see her.

A clitoris and a cock are homologous organs (they have the same embryonic origin and are essentially the same thing). So with a type of surgery called metoidioplasty, a clitoris can be converted into a functional penis. It is common practice in masculinization surgeries.

yeah, no in best case you get a vaguely penis shaped piece of meat on your lower abdomen. it will never work as a penis since it can't get hard.

I see a lot of misinformation about it. Yes, with both metoidioplasty and phalloplasty you can have erections. With metoidioplasty in a natural way, since it is still a hypertrophied clitoris (and clitoris, I guess you have observed that, also becomes erect). The problem? The result is a very small penis.
With Phalloplasty you get a bigger penis, almost natural size. The problem? That you cannot have a natural erection without the help of a hydraulic prosthesis.

Yeah, she seems more of a defensive "I'm glad for you, buddy" kind of girl ; thinking she's not worthy or that she wasted her chance.
But with Alex she got unsually jumpy so maybe something boiling under the surface ?

The caveat with hormones(testo) is enhanced sex drive, and that my friend is something that would be very cool to have, a slutty horny toyboy.

I could be remembering wrong, but I feel like Alex was the one who started to be kind of catty and competitive.

I guess we haven't really seen Nicki interact with any other girls that are hanging out with MC, so I don't know... maybe Nicki is the competitive one. That Brit scene didn't count because Nicki had a good reason to be frustrated.

Hmm... I guess you stayed on her path from the start. Stay off her path and pay attention to the things she says and does later. When she sees you with someone else, you can see the sadness and she desperately tries to get you to see her.

Yeah, I'm not interested in friend routes with anyone until way, way later. Interesting, though, I didn't know that.

Haha, true. Although, Mason seems plenty sexually active as is. As long as his voice isn't described as masculine and he doesn't start growing face/chest hair or anything like that, it's all good for me. Shit, I wouldn't mind if Mason grew hair on his armpit, pussy, & even a little asshole bush doesn't bother me. Although, despite that, leg hair has always been a huge turn off to me for some reason

 

[SlapE]

Damn we're still on the Mason trans topic... don't get me wrong, I support everyone's right to talk about it, but it's definitely a bored topic at this point. I'm counting the days until this update drops, it can't come soon enough! I want something else to talk about besides Mason's gender identity and transitioning, and Nicki's status as a character and her jealousy! The latter is just pure speculation still anyways, I have a feeling she will be one of the characters you can be in an open or poly relationship with, but we don't know anything for sure.

Anyways, feel free to talk about Mason and Nicki I suppose... but I'll probably just take a break from the thread until the update drops or until a different topic of discussion pops up. I'm just hoping it won't be the 4th or 5th round of a harem discussion and debate.

 

[NeonGhosts]

Changing the topic.. If I did some more in-game short stories (ala the Brent update) who would you like to see get the focus of one?

I definitely have plans for:

• Nicki's time in Florida, and her disastrous 'modeling' shoot.
• Ashe's attempt at modeling, and her dad's reaction.
• Viola being pressured by her landlord.
• Pepper's early camgirl streams.
• A special event with MC interacting with Bonnie, Ashe's mom.
• A special event with MC visiting Brittani at Chesty Cheetahs.

Any other corners of FiN you'd like to see?

I think we'll see Nicki be way more of a bro, than a green-eyed monster. But, I think a lot of that could vary based on who MC chose to romance.

Like, she may raise a brow at an age-gap relationship with Gabby, Viola, Pepper, etc. She'd probably be on-board with Carolina. I think she'd view relationships with Brittani or Risa as being symptomatic of a mid-life crisis, until she got to know them better. She'd likely be a bit wary of Ashe, at first blush. And then there's Alex.. >_>

But, I don't think it's binary. It's possible for Nicki to be happy for MC, while also being a little stung, or wondering what could have been. But, I think that if she hasn't been pursued by Romantic MC, she's likely still in that headspace from early on, where she can acknowledge she doesn't really need to be dating anyone at the moment.

 

[Ragnar]

Viola past in Russia and the journey to the US could be more interesting than the landlord business. I mean we already know what's the situation in that front, unless you go dark route showing sex between them I don't see the point in wasting screen time on the fat ass.

off the top of my head for short stories. I think be fun to see / explore some of the times where Nicki were hanging out as friends. I know part of this is planned for the chapter 1 rework. But since I don't know how much of this you plan to show in the rework , a short story version of this would be welcomed for sure that and im just a sucker for wholesome moments like this.

Ashe and Wren maybe at the party before the accident. I think be nice to see how they interacted with one another as friends before the accident.

Perhaps Brittani start into her career of being a model could be a good one. Tho be nice to show a bit of the how and why more in a bit more detail as I know it's cause of her mother. But that might be a bit to much for a short story.

I think I recall reading part of a written short story of Viola and how she got her job that could be nice as well.

 

[Toni_I]

A special event in which Brittani is humiliated by her mom bc the mom provided so much and B is just such a brat.

I think seeing what happened with Brittani getting with Jamie when he was with Gabby could be interesting. Give some insight into what Jamie did to "massage" that situation.

Brittani for the love of god please Brittani

 

[Sleeping In Pieces]

A generous application of Daddy's money, most likely. The ass doesn't really have much else going for him.

 

[Machete]

• Ashe's attempt at modeling, and her dad's reaction.

As everyone can guess, to me, not this one. The very last thing this game needs is even more Ashe.

I'd love to see some flashbacks of Jamie abusing Gabby and Brittani, but that would rise the anti-NTR rage.

This probably won't come as a shock to anyone, but I doubt any of those options would interest me enough to play them. Maybe Pepper's scene would hook me (just to get a better read on her), but even in that case I'd much rather we get a chance to spend time with her as the MC *in game*. Other than that one, I think these would be adding unnecessary details to background setups that would be better kept short and sweet. Focus on the future, not the past and all that.

IMHO, obviously.

I also don't understand what a "special event with the MC" means. If we're playing as the MC, isn't it just a (presumably small) standalone update? If it's some sort of kinetic scene or "what if" scenario, well, that seems like an idea ripe for disappointment and flamewars.

That makes sense - and I'm not just saying that because Nicki would probably greenlight my preferred LI!

Oh another Carolina fan. We are rare breed.

 

[Dessolos]

Oh another Carolina fan. We are rare breed.

I always forget her name but not the character. I really like her but I feel like I want to wait for the date the MC convinced to go on before I judge her.
