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

[Raoddik]

Asshole-route gets me nothing when I call her a ride and blue balls, with her kneeling in front of MC with his dick out when I want her to continue the shoot.

Dunno if it matter in that case, but are you sure you have taboo patch?

Can't wait to go full missionary with Britanni and forcing Gabby to watch

 

[zeph19]

This game is extremely forked (which is very good) and some options are available only if you play the insane rapist and vice versa. So, if you want to see more scenes try to play all over in a very different way

I mean yes, in a way you're correct about forked being good. It's fun to discover new things in a new playthrough. But then it's only ever two options. One bad guy, one good guy option. And only picking bad guy option doesn't lead to all bad guy scenes, and sometimes dead ends. So at some point you're just loading previous saves and press ctrl to try out different patterns hoping for the best, which is also.. suboptimal as a player.

Dunno if it matter in that case, but are you sure you have taboo patch?

I guess that's the issue, then. I'll try it with the patch, then. Confusing, since some options are very non-con already. Thank you.

I haven't been mean to anyone.

The only change I made was when I started the game I flirted heavily with Nicki trying to get them together but she kept playing the friend card so I backed off.

I'll keep it as friends with benefits for her, she's wanting to keep it that way so that's how it will be. I'm not losing out on all the other girls waiting for her to make her mind up.

Ashe is up for it so she's getting the date. Haven't had chance to ask Oh Carolina out yet but will when that comes up.

I will say.. I try to write/code the game more to allow people to play how they want, rather than necessarily min/maxing stats and stuff. Usually, just doing that will lead you to some different "grey" outcomes that fit your playstyle.

I always point to Gabby's semi-hidden "gaslit" path, where you come on her face in the boutique changing room without her permission. If she's totally smitten with you because you've chosen all the right options for her, she gets into it and is happy to let you do it. If you missed a few options, she gets upset at you, and you can either apologize, or double down and gaslight her into believing that's what you expect out of a serious relationship. That doesn't change much right now, but there are a few dialogue options that hint your affection for her is more of a possessive/unhealthy one, than the pure love path.

I think the fun of doing a serial story is that nobody can really predict what certain choices will mean, in the longterm. Like, if you pass up the titjob from Britt, she's a little put off and confused, but ultimately is more affectionate with you when she leaves, than if you went the other route. So like, maybe some delayed gratification now, means more reward later. So it's not necessarily that a scene dead-ends, it's just that it's going to pick up somewhere later, with different consequences.

what happened?

 

[Meridian]

Finally its here.

Alex introduction was very brief but she seemed really fun, look forward to seeing how her routes are gonna develop.

Nicki grows on me bit by bit with every update. In my playthrough I went with humiliation route with her and I really like that she takes it like a champ. Is it financial desperation on her part? Fear of being alone? Or maybe she still loves mc and can put up with this kind of behaviour like she putted up with Brents shit? Would be very cool if you could keep her hooked like this even while misstreating her. Very toxic and abusive "relationship" for sure but a very fun one.

Cant really say much about Pepper yet. Her personality seems like she would be fun to take advantage of I guess.

Seeing Ashe again was great. Overall she is probably my favourite character right now because all her routes are exciting. Her reactions on blackmail route were fun, hopefully we will meet her again soon.

Brittani stuff was a bit meh too me. Too dragged out and scenes at the end felt a bit underwhelming after like 400 renders of photoshoot. But oh well we learned a lot about her and all that stuff should serve as build up for future. During photoshot the story she told as a goth girl seems like something that would be fun to get on dark path. Maybe as a roleplay if you cant add it to the story. Bad step-daddy that crawls into the step-daughters room at nights is surprisingly a rare type of scene in lewd games despite being such edgy and exciting idea. Also brief mention of Brittanis mom got me hoping she will be a fuckable character too. I am a sucker for scenes where you can fuck mother while daughter watches and vice versa.

As always looking forward to next update.

 

[Grelk]

Personally, I agree.. But, it's a very divisive issue. Some people just plain don't like the idea of seeing their love interest with another guy, period.

i really dont see the issue if they are locked behind a choice and not forced on the player

what happened?

Looks like you played the version of Chapter 3 that leaked early, and not the final one. Start a game from the end of Chapter Two, and this should resolve.

 

[ImperialD]

i still have a thing for nikki .... great update ..... will nikki be wondering away from the MC now that she's in her own apartment .. i can only hope not

 

[zeph19]

I will say [...]

Oh, I totally get it. It's fun to have one "true" playthrough where the delayed gratification really hits. I myself am more of a completionist. I HAVE to see what I seem to have missed, especially if I _know_ that there has to be another option when Britt kneels in front of the MC, for example. Or I read a comment talking about some scene I didn't get. Or a screenshot.

I think my biggest problem was just being stupid and overlooking the taboo patch (Thought there's some incest in there, lol). I know that when I downloaded the game in its first or second iteration, I could go full ham on Nicki, and didn't think much of it when I played a later update and the options weren't there anymore. Thought it was your decision to take it out of the game, which was fine by me since those options weren't fully my cup of tea.

Britt was a bit confusing though. In the non-taboo version, she says she's 18 and I was an asshole towards her, so I think it'd be fine to get that bj from her, either by forcing or pressuring her after the shoot. Considering how I can treat Nicki in that version, it'd only make sense to be able to do that to Britt, too.

I want to take the opportunity to tell you that I really like the game, by the way. It has a lot of scenes that you'd _think_ were more common, but for some reason aren't. Like Nicki blowing MC while looking at pictures of other women, or blowing you while MC is playing games. Or the Britt photoshoot thing, which is super hot, by the way. Many others I could list here. I'm sure you're getting some negative feedback for pushing some boundaries, but I hope you ignore those. Each update is better than the one before.

I knew it, my logic was solid!

The only worry is, she is still with the asshole in that ending...

 

[NeonGhosts]

Yeah, I agree. Buuuuut, the internet being what it is, I usually like to play it safe. >_>

i still have a thing for nikki .... great update ..... will nikki be wondering away from the MC now that she's in her own apartment .. i can only hope not

No worries, she comes back right away for a little coffee date in the next installment.

Nahhh, I think it's safe to say Jamie's behavior is a big ol' red flag, no matter what path she's on.

While you're the dev and writer, i have to say that i felt like that the titjob ends up being less affectionate because Britt's bastard (ex-)boyfriend ended up being downstairs and verbally attacked Britt. So she would be pretty hurt by it and thus not as affectionate as in the other path. But that was just my read as a player.

Dev did say turning down the titjob makes her more affectionate.

Oh for sure. It was largely the mood being spoiled by Jamie's reappearance, but I also think that a guy not immediately trying to fuck her probably endeared him to Brittani a bit, too.

A very sexy update, Brittani is my new favorite, she is incredibly good looking, and contrarily to expectations she has a sweet personality and a

, good job on bringing her character to life and making her way more interesting than the typical bimbo teenager that usually gets thrown into stories just to give the player some eye candy. I hope she becomes a main interest seeing how she is not shown in the main banner...

 

[Cool'Thulhu]

Nitpicking time! jk... or not

Ok, First things first, I just have to say MC is such a Simp for Nicki that i couldn't help but laugh a bit

Also, just curiosity, but what's the point of choosing the age for Gabby/Brittani (or why just for them)?
They're clearly not lolis, neither they are virgins or "innocent", so being default +18 would make perfectly sense already

I noted that there isn't planned content tags, so about that:
-Incest will be a thing or is all teasing? Cassie have a strong "fight for the other team" vibe, but given it's porn, all lesbians end up being bi , I also had to go back and take the string bikini, cuz after that Halloween photo, she's clearly won't be as scared as i thought
-NGL Mason has some trap/trans potential (if he's no already a tomboy )
-Humm... there's some tags missing that are already in the game, like: Virgin, Titjob, Footjob, Interracial and Striping

(BTW, WTF is a S-Word? )

All things said, I'm not saying that helping ho... ah... people is bad, but I like to take in consideration the old wise words of this philosopher :
I used to save hoes with a mask and a cape
Now I'm like, "Nah, love, I'm good, go away"
Ain't about to die with no money, I done gave it

[Xypher]

I really love the latest update, especially the love and dark routes with Nikki and Brittani (but prefer the love route more).

As others have said, really like Brittani isn't the stereotypical blonde bimbo, also her backstory makes me want to hug and protect her just like Nikki.

Also it's understandable for not showing Jamie's pics of Gabby, Brittani and Madison, though I wouldn't mind having the option to see the pics or not in the future. Or at least don't involve pics of Jamie in it similar to the Gabby pic in the Halloween event.

Also really love small variations in each routes, it makes the game's replay value more enjoyable. It makes the routes a lot more greyer than the typical black and white routes.

Can't wait for Part 2! especially the upcoming the content with Gabby, just wanna see her smile and happy. (or corrupted and broken in Dark route).

 

[Vashaldias]

hope you update soon

Really do hope this gets updated. This is honestly one of the most detailed, well written, and well formatted walkthroughs I've used on here.

Should be updated now (although I can't guarantee there's nothing I've missed -- haven't had much time to look through everything).
