VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [Ch. 8 v0.57b SE] [NeonGhosts]

[CountKael]

Interesting, why's that?

Im guessing they prefer the more "innocent" look? personally i like Nicki's updated looks because the backstory compliments it greatly as it shows what happened to her the past months.

plus the number of times i thought "oh no she got raped" while listening to her story was more than i wouldve liked. Fuck you dev for the suspense and the goddamn good writing.

 

[Raziel_8]

So we finally meet Brittani, i hope we will get more of her in the next update...i really wanna see Gabby's reaction when MC dumps her for stupid big strippertits
Viola and Carolina are also interesting characters, with Brittani the 3 best looking ones so far imo.

Nikki's story didn't really make me like her any more thought.

Brittani gets a big event next chapter.

Glad you liked Viola and Carolina. I really adore Viola, and I think her full scene is a ton of fun. Come back tomorrow and play it!

Fun Fact: Carolina had brown eyes until the very last second, when I saw a porn clip featuring a blue-eyed Hispanic girl. Kismet!

Sorry you didn’t emerge from the update liking Nicki any more than before. I’ve had a lot of positive reactions to her on Patreon, and I look forward to continuing her story. But, I still really want to redo Chapter One to set her up a little better.

For some reason Im getting huge dejavu feelings from this like I played this exact same game years ago. Is this a remake of another game?

Yes, definitely played this EXACT game, years ago. Nicki in the flat and the couch, and the choices, and the money, and the boyfriend convincing her to do it, and the dark path. ALL EXACTLY THE SAME from at least 3 years ago

I mean.. If you can find it I'd love to see it! Sounds like my type of game!

I'm pretty honest about my inspirations. This chapter has a loving homage to Banking on Bella, and next chapter to The Regional Manager. I originally had a scene homaging Radiant, that wound up on the cutting room floor.

 

[silversurfer1]

Ah man, I can't wait to have some fun with Brittani! Part of me was hoping she'd be meaner so I could be meaner to her but I can work with her just being young, dumb, and hungry for clout. I would love a chance to see her Instagram pictures (38GG lol perfect).

And yes I would love to see Viola again. And Ashe. And I also can't wait to give Cassie her gold bikini lol. Just give me all the blondes.

All in all I am pretty happy with where things are with Nicki. I did really like seeing her goof around with Maya. It was good to actually see her in a fun light. Up to then I think there was sort of a lot of the game telling you she was your good friend without showing why she might be. As far as what's happened to her: I still don't know if I feel 100% sympathetic but I guess that's why they're called mistakes. I think I'll enjoy having her as my assistant and FWB and I hope she will enjoy it as well. Just hope she doesn't mind me boinkin a bunch of girls even younger than she is.

You see some of her Instagram pics at the end, when you're rubbing one out! I'm adding options to look at other girls, too. Gabby, Ashe, Madison, Carolina..

I'm glad you liked that scene with Maya. I felt the same way (and again, it's why I really need to fix the first chapter to show more of Nicki and MC's pre-wealth friendship..) and I felt like it went some ways towards showing her as the kind of goof that the uptight MC might like having around.

Glad you liked it!

Thats what the dark path and the taboo patch are for mehehehe were all going to hell

Yeah i enjoy the dark scene with Nikki in ep1
The only downside is that it decides the MC's personality, if he's a good/bad guy. I enjoy dark path with Nikki, but in genaral i prefer to be friendly to the other LI's so far, so the bad MC doesn't really fit with the rest of my playthrough...

Fun Fact: Carolina had brown eyes until the very last second, when I saw a porn clip featuring a blue-eyed Hispanic girl. Kismet!

A good choice

Well i still have the dark path for Nikki, i enjoy her in that
I'm happy surprised that Brittani is not a bitch thought, so she fits nicely in the 'good guy' run.
As for the sister, in which ep do u plan to introduce her ?

I try to balance it so the MC's thoughts aren't SUPER dark, even when you're a dick to Nicki in chapter one. I may go back and review those, at some point, though.. Mostly, having a high 'mcdark' score just makes you more of a dominant jerk type, with your individual relations to girls determining more how you talk to them.

I don't want to spoil Cassie's entrance, but you'll see her very soon.

 

[mikoko67]

Ok, i dont comment usualy but this game what a last update!) is incredibly good.
Was so long since we had something new with new girl model, something that is not the typical "incest milfy story with enormous titties/butt".
My favorite path is by far the rough part... all the story with Nicky (specialy the last scene in bed when u can call her) is so good, its a long time i didnt see a game with a real "male domination" tag. The girls in the game are not just bread dead nymphomaniac but you really have to act like a douche (sometimes forced her or more) too get what you want.
Cant wait to see the next update!

 

[Majindevil]

... yeah like i feared no way to get rid of nikki an from now on she will even be his assistant (wish there were a choice to decline) now she will hang around... should have combined the job offer with a tattoo removal (or a complete makeover to the original design) so she would be good as a fuck toy and not only as an eyesore... the gaggy scene was really nice but way to short compared to the nikki drama.

Unfortunately that was never really in the cards. We may see her cover her tattoos with some that better suit her, though. I think that'd be a smart way of reclaiming some of her agency. And her hair will shift back to her earlier look, over the course of a few updates.

 

[Nevermourned]

(Okay, so, I continue to enjoy this game. I haven't tried out every possible combination yet, but I am actually interested to do so, which is a fair score above many other game choices. So far, I like what's been done with Nikki's return, the protagonist, as a nice guy, feels very frustrated but ultimately forgiving and caring, and as an evil monster, is... well, an evil and abusive monster. I enjoy playing both of them, for entirely different reasons, and again, look forward to mixing and matching my evil and kindness with future playthroughs.

Just wanted to say though that so far, I really enjoy the choices and options. The girls have good personality, and I enjoy it. While Gabby didn't make the best first impression, I find her energetic, kind of pushy romantic personality intriguing, and look forward to more evil interactions with her. Other potential options so far are interesting, especially Caroline to me right now. And I hope that

dies a horrible and painful death. Whether or not we are the ones who cause it. On both paths. Because I hate monsters that I'm not playing as.

So, all in all, that's what I had to say! Well done, good characters, hope to see more!)

hmm ok that is what the skip button was invented for i just hope the will be more dialoge options in the future so far only nice or asshole a middle ground were nice like "do what you want just dont bother me" because so far the ashole options seem just there to get his dick wet. but i rally dislike it when a mc (in which shoes we were put) drools over somebody but the player has problems to not puke... as excemple gabby´s mother she is a nice women and i am on the good route but dont find her atractive so i really miss an neutral option to just help her because it is the right thing not to fuck her. same with nicky after this update just a neutral option to do what is right but clearly show she fucked up and you are not interested.

(i had to really grind my teeth after the little girl wanted a tattoo... really wished there were an option for a snarky remark like "see now you even influenced a little girl that she wants to look like a whore, you should be proud of yourself...")

Well, with Nicki, if you don't fuck her in the bathroom, and don't call her to you at night, that puts you on the "neutral" path next chapter. So, you won't have sex with her again unless you choose to.

Madison also doesn't NEED to be romanced. I do get what you're saying though. I'm working on putting less subjective thoughts into the MC's head. But, my philosophy may run counter to the general wisdom of this genre. I kind of see playing this game as being like playing, I dunno, Metal Gear Solid. Like, you are Snake, but Snake still has a personality and ideas of his own, which aren't entirely guided by you.

As for Maya, that line after she says that does actually change, based on whether your MC is good or evil. A good one says something like, "Well, real recognize real," while a bad MC says something like, "Well, she's eight," knocking Nicki down in a kid-friendly manner.

I'm glad that MC's frustration came across.. I wanted to do something where the good MC is angry, and the evil MC is gleefully picking at Nicki's sore spots. Kind of honoring an earlier thought he had in Chapter Two, that people only fight when they actually care. At that point he doesn't care, so he's content to just ridicule her.

Hah, that Brent.. Such a fucker. He'll be back to bedevil the MC a little more, but I think karma's coming for him.

 

[Avaron1974]

I did have to start a new save. I'd put myself on a path to try and romance Nicki but it just seems like she's the game little lost puppy all the evil pricks queue up to kick. She's been in the shit since her first scene, less of a headache to stay friends. I thought with her turning up in that state and all the shit she'd been through she'd get a break but then a wild Brent appears and it seems she's not getting a break.

Unlike quite a few people here I only play the nice routes, i'm a romance kinda girl. I also avoid girls that attract too much drama and Nicki is that drama magnet.

I'll keep her in the friendzone and go for Beep Boop instead.
