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

[Joshy92]

As person that doesn't particularly like incest, or most of the times hates it because of cringy writing, I was shocked how hot I found the Ashe roleplay scene, so yes please a threesome with Cassie and Cassie.

But, speaking in general, I feel Nicki by being the pseudo main girl is almost guaranteed to be in most combinations, but personally I am only interested if you can have a scene with her and her pink haired arch nemesis

Brittani + Ashe will probably hospitalize poor Guy.

I'm in the same camp as you I tend to avoid incest because of how creepy and all the MC's act in those games but I think NG can pull it off here.

And yeah, that roleplay scene is one of the best in the game imo.

I used to be a completionist in every single AVN I've played, I used to do saves even for the shittiest of routes, but in this I just can't play them anymore. Viola scene in particular on the dark path made me stop most of the dark content in any game I've played since.

Fuck that shit, Id rather go back and watch LiveLeak, like I used to when I was younger, easier to stomach.

I don't have a dark playthrough either, I'm fine with the just being a regular philanthropist in the game

It is built into the game, takes place after Chapter 3 ends. Basically a sequence with the Guy creeping checking the girls' socials for ideas of calendar costumes. I didn't even know it was a "special" until a message popped up "This concludes the Halloween Special, save your game!" and the next Chapter started with the next scene.

I think it's very funny that, when it was released, I got some bad reactions like, "GOD, the whole fucking story just stops for this stupid Halloween update?!"

Now, nobody even notices. :'D

I think, or hope at least, we'll get a chance to save her. Whether or not she becomes much of a character, I don't know but I don't think Neon would show her to us and have Risa ask for our help if we couldn't save her. That just doesn't seem to be the flavor of this game.

We definitely haven't seen the last of Cherry. >_>

I really feel like some characters are being forgotten about.

Any examples? In the last two updates we've seen (depending on your choices..): Nicki, Ashe, Viola, Alex, Brittani, Carolina, Risa, Mason, Gabby, Pepper, Madison, and Cassie. Granted, the Ashe content was minuscule, but Chapter 11 will have a decent amount of content dedicated to her. Don't get me wrong, I totally get wanting to see more of every character. But, I try to change up the A plot/B plot, and keep all the girls in circulation.

Chapter 11 will have an early focus on Cassie, before shifting focus to Gabby and Ashe, as they've been gone a bit. Ashe's content will also serve to set up Brittani's audition update. We'll also get a little montage to advance some developments with Viola, Alex, Mason, the bookstore, etc.

All these dark routes and I feel bad about all of them

Hey how about this girl? Oh she's so nice she goes out and saves earthworms every time it rains
This waitress can't be very important, right? Oh she's fighting to rescue her sex slave twin sister
This new lobby girl is really annoying! Oh actually she's trying to avenge her past by shutting down a drug dealer/sex slaver/abusive pornographer/kidnapper

It's hard!

;D

Now I think I need to play this dark path with Viola you guys talked about. I'm quite curious.

I checked the scene(s) out with URM, the worst version of it you really don't unless you are into that sort of thing

No matter how bad it is I have played more violent and shocking stuff trust me bro.

Don't do it,really don't do it..
I can play any dark path,
but to do something violent to Viola,or see her in tears,
that would break my own heart.

Never,ever would i do anything to her,
and i would do everything to protect her from everything and everyone !!

I have too, still doesn't sit well with me to do that to such a nice girl

I do think the dark stuff offers variety even if I don't play it I like having the choice.

Nicki is the only Dark scene I have seen in full and that one was hard for me to watch. While I played the dark path I skipped past the scenes the few renders I saw of the Viola one while skipping it was brutal for me and im glad I didn't see it.

I checked most of them out with URM, some are pretty bad like the Ashe one.

;D

It'd be interesting to see what kind of backstory Alexandra Winterman aka Alex Maxima has got, since what's known atm about her is that she tore a ligament in her arm thus ruining her chances to become pro (and her women only gym took a bad hit after the Corona pandemic). Since she's going to train the protagonist in self-defence, there's a probability her story will be connected to a degree with Risa. I think the protagonist mentions a hypothetical big opponent to Alex in terms of size back at her gym, so that'll help him to hold his ground against Lucien (and find a way to overcome that big goon, since she showed a taser and told him to use any advantage possible in a fight). At the same time, Nicki had only one encounter with her and she doesn't like her much, so if Alex interacts further with the protagonist in the story, there might be another passive-aggressive encounter (or several) like what happened after the jacuzzi was installed. It'd be also cool to see Alex with her original blonde hair colour as well in a future update (since Gabby changed hers when she met the protagonist before they went with Madison at the police station to bail out Ryan). And I believe she's got a friend named Erika whom she mentions in a short video while she's eating fast food, so who knows if Alex's friend might appear in the story (and that Alex also abhors the game version of TikTok, it was a pity that the sign outside the building that said "Absolutely no filming your goddamn brikbloks!" didn't appear later on).

before shifting focus to Gabby and Ashe

A random question a propos of Gabby -- currently the only way to get on a romantic route with her seems to be getting pushy with her pretty much as soon as you spend a tiny bit of time with her in private. Is that how it's going to be, with no other opportunities to establish some sort of relationship other than friendly once her and MC actually get to know each other more?

Asking because the option really didn't sit well with me (the MC is effectively abusing both the power dynamic there *and* taking advantage of the girl's mental vulnerability from her fresh breakup) so i just picked to kiss her on the way out, which the game seemed to hint shifted her perception of MC somewhat, but as far as i can tell it didn't have any actual impact in the game, and what you get is basic "platonic friends" route.

I actually played the dark path but ctrl skipped the lewd scenes

Her and mason I don't eve have saves for. Their relationship and how you get them are creepy no matter how I try to spin it and justify it. I even pass on my bae, Brittani's 1st and only scene for the same reason...
I am afraid of future Viola as well, I can't really see how that doesn't feel like I'm taking advantage, probably just a friend in all my saves.

Waiting for alternatives that don't come in the worst time/place possible, feel predatory, or exploitative and diminish how I view the entire romance.

I'm not sure exactly how old Guy is supposed to be, but I don't see how any of these relationships can not feel somewhat predatory. Most of these girls are poor and some of them are roughly half MC's age (guessing mid-thirties somewhere?). That's part of the reason I stick with Nicki - she's at least a little older than people like Gabbi and Brittani and the prior relationship makes it feel a bit less predatory. At the very least Nicky isn't afraid to tell you if she feel uncomfortable about something.

[MilesEdgeworth]

yea, I can't go full dark on, it makes me feel like shit, but I will go the corruption route cuz giving Viola a naked hug while she's all wtf amuses me.

As of this writing, I can go full dark on only three and a half people: first-half Nikki, the waitress, the book shop owner, and Gabi. Going dark on Gabi makes me feel a little racist since she's the only black li, but at the moment, I still do it. :s
