VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [Ch.11 v0.72] [NeonGhosts]

[RebelliousKnightMordred]

The hate comes from players who don't follow the game that closely. They saw the game in the latest updates and thought it was a full update. Those who follow the development of FiN already knew about that teaser and how things are going in general so no butthurt from us.

you're right we saw it in latest updates and assumed it was an update, it wasn't. What's crazy is you guys pretend this guys game was just spawned in the wild and came with supporters then it found its way on this forum. Nah, he started off advertising on this forum, posting the updates and the game for all, then he started begging for supporters and so people would donate cash. Now he's on some weird high horse, classic dev pitfall where he makes money from chumps who will pay him to do absolutely nothing for most of the year and then he'll post a tiny little "preview" to keep you all happy. Tell me what exactly did the "preview" show you? That cassie was in the police station? That the mc has a lawyer? You could argue he set up the whole detective mercer working with lucien thing but again, surely it'd be better served actually working on the game and releasing an update instead of empty promises and small scenes? But hey, feel free to call me an idiot or loser who doesn't pay

 

[RebelliousKnightMordred]

So i should check it out in 2 to 4 years correct ? (is not a joke)

i'd say if you come back in 10 years he might have released the next "teaser" for chapter 13.5 after reworking chapter 1 again

Thanks

Okay so much like when I said I wouldn't drink Coca-Cola again, I let my temptation get the better of me and played the teaser and man it was good.

I'm loving Cassie so far, but anyway I also rewatched a scene from the last update that is the sort of stuff that makes FiN my number one AVN

That whole scene with Nicki is ten out of ten imo.

So yeah I loved the teaser and Cassie is a real firecracker as I suspected. I can't wait to see more of her.

Is that due to the forced bullshit with Druggie McDruggerson? I still haven't played since just before the whole forced shit with that chick.

Especially the following:

"Heh, 150 Images? No Thanks: Respectfully, I don't make content for this forum. I make it for my supporters. My supporters understand why I put out the (sometimes bite-sized) content that I do, because I communicate it to them, and if they want to reach out directly, I'll explain my plans and reasons in more detail. My concern is only ever in delivering them what I promise them, for their support. That means $15 supporters get some kind of playable demo monthly, $5 supporters get a weekly update with a look at the script and art, and $2 supporters get exclusive bi-weekly art and story features. I can't even guarantee that they'll like it, though I do my best."

This is one of the main reasons I don't support devs. They forget how they started, when the majority of their supporters come from f95 or some other pirate sites. They get a lil change in their pockets and it's fuck the rest. Devs like that I thoroughly enjoy pirating. Never forget where you come from cause you don't know where you're headed.

that may be partially true, but in the end they have to make money, you have no idea how much it costs to develop a proper AVN. They don't just get DAZ assets and electricity (or music licenses) for free. Most devs never even gonna break even, they fund that shit with their day jobs. So if they need to cater to their actual supporters, and not random pirates, that's what they're gonna do. Dunno what else would you expect.

Do you suffer from selective reading syndrome? I never said he didn't need the money he's getting. I'm saying he's acting like peoples opinions on here are irrelevant. Like most of his supporters don't come from here. That kind of arrogance is what I'll never open my wallet up for.

yeah, not worth my time it looks like

 

[Bad Wolf]

And this shit is exactly why devs leave this fuckin site. People need to chill tf out. Relax. Drink a beer, smoke a bowl or something.

It was yeah.

 

[Sherengroth]

so did the developer forget about the 1st girl you get with, i mean, after you get her to babysit she only appears once i think through a phone call and that's way late.

 

[Pixillin']

It was yeah.

Who is "Druggie McDruggerson"?

Nah, Nicki is still in it. She hasn't had a lewd scene in awhile, but she's still in it quite a bit. It's her early stuff that is currently being re-worked - gives you some more background and changes up her story a bit in Act 1. I think one of the problems this game is running into is that there are a BUNCH of lis at this point, and everyone is going to want their favorite to get new scenes in every update but that is getting less and less possible. Personally, this is still one of my favorites but it is getting crowded.

Edit: Oh - unless you were really shitty to her. If you forced her to have sex during her babysitting gig, she's gone.

He means Risa.

 

[Pixillin']

He means Risa.

Ohhh ... right. Thanks! Yeah, wasn't impressed that she took you to that place and then went and got high.

 

[Joshy92]

I actually liked that whole Risa scene. It gave me some important info about her and a chance to get closer to a brave & sweet woman, I'll take that any day.

 

[botc76]

Man this thread is entertaining you have the haters, the kiss the devs arse guys then you have the people in the middle. At least this is entertaining while waiting for the next update .

It can be, but it can also get quite repetitive with time.
It's funny how this also mirrors the societal divide in other parts of life.
Both sides are insulting the other, both sides have a problem not taking things personally and both mostly ignore any argument the other side makes, even if there is something to it. Does remind me of every debate about politics, our society, ways of life, sexuality etc..
People just don't know how to have an actual discussion any more.

That being said, and while I completely get the frustration about people not even reading what Neon puts out as information, one thing is true and that is that this is a pirate forum and this whole attitude of "I am better than you, because I am actually paying for content" is ridiculous under these circumstances.
I support games, I supported games and I will support games, and within my means I do so gladly, BUT f95zone is a pirate forum created when KAT went down to replace basically where F95 posted his wares before, so sure feel better because you are supporting a dev, but here? Whether you support a dev or not doesn't change a flying fuck. For that you have to use the comment section on patreon or discord, not F95zone.

You know how it is, for some, a game can not have enough choices. No matter how many the dev puts into a game, some will find that one thing they didn't get to decide and complain about it.

 

[Joshy92]

Look I don't know NeonGhosts I have never met him and never will, but people saying stuff like 'he doesn't listen to people unless they pay' are wrong.

He listens to everybody and is very open and honest about the game, what more can he possibly do? I wasn't going to comment on this sort of thing anymore but seeing people talk shit about a dev who I like and would shake hands with any day just annoys me.

Look at Neon's track record, he produces a lot of content even though he has a day job which is very demanding.
Now I think we should just all calm down and go back to talking about the plot or which waifu we want to breed.

 

[ffive]

Ohhh ... right. Thanks! Yeah, wasn't impressed that she took you to that place and then went and got high.

To be fair, her getting high was pretty much a cover in this context. Would be rather hard to explain to a drug and porn dealer why she'd just suddenly decide to make a purely social visit and bring a friend with her while at it, too. In contrast, her coming just for a fix was perfectly understandable.
