It might be useful to show some of the anime that Guy and Nikki like to watch. Maybe they can watch some hentai one night.

Definitely something I'd like to explore a little more. I'm waiting for some renders to process, so I've been fiddling about with this filtered version of Gabby, painting over it in something closer to my normal drawing style.

Popping in to say that Neon writes some of the most in-depth characters I've seen in a VN. The dynamic with Nicki is so conflicting and I appreciate that, because people's actions IRL are ever strictly black or white. Also, I love Gabby so much. Super excited for this next update.

I can agree with You mostly... and probably said something similar earlier, but after thinking some time:
Forced sex = unwilling sex without control = rape
Forced sex scene = player lose control = players mind is raped
Player wants characters to be raped but not his/her mind, player is not satisfied
Though I like this game as it is, I'd never... Never... NEVER fucked Nicki in such situation (I have more willpower or just thinking in another way), so immerse breaking from the beginning... it leaves bad aftertaste tbh, and makin' the game 50% less interesting
So I fully support devs decision to make some corrections, and it's really smart choise IMO, I know a lot of examples of players got angry cause of MC's stupid decision (totally against players vision) and stopped playing (I Just read a lot of bad reviews)

That's sad, and that's why I know I couldn't do it even if I wanted. I have few ideas that maybe could work, already wrote some story/characters/dialogues (yea, with my English they probably are not great
), but I know that in the end I wouldn't be able to handle comments like that very well (and I don't mean valid criticism). I saw so many hate post directed at devs, sometimes for really weird reasons I would never have thought of.(not to mention when it comes to 3 magic letters some people go crazy ~~)

Interesting. I look forward to the changes you will make in chapter 1.
^This guy. This guy is speaking the truth. He's talking about the real concerns us common-folk have while the rest of the world holds contentious debates over Nicki.

Personally, I enjoy the darker side of the game, not many games allow this course. Granted manipulation is a popular genre within adult games. The darker path isn't for everyone but in all honesty... if you don't enjoy it don't play the game. I'm not a fan of breasts more prominent, but many people are, which is why those games flood the adult gaming scene. I don't complain on their forums about my distaste for mammary glands larger than Earth itself. I just pass and look for games that fit my personal taste. To each, their own in all honesty, and Neon gives you options, a lot of game devs really will just ignore complaints and focus on requests from people donating.

I need a little help, I named MC as Forrest Gump but I cannot name Nicki as Jenny can anybody tell me how can I do that?
Me too but on the darker route. Nicki and MC relationship is hot.
Also the other girls are hot too. Can't wait for more content.
Sorry if you already know this, but just to be clear, Patreon does not allow incest or darker content and they remove games that have them. So, most devs create a patch themselves and upload elsewhere to get around it. Or, sometimes someone else makes alterations to the game and offers them as a patch (which is the case with Neon's game here
).The patch for FiN changes the relationship of Cassie (I think that's her name?) from.. w/e the non-patched game has her as (sorry, I don't play unpatched games) to sister; she's a character who's first mentioned when you bring Ashe to your apartment in the beginning of Chp. 2, I believe. It also adds darker options/routes to the game such as rape, it gives option to set certain character's ages (Gabby, Brittani, and so on), and it might alter the non-rape corruption path too, I'm not sure.
To reiterate, none of this is forced on you, it just offers the option while you're playing (well, obviously if you want to pursue a relationship w/ Cassie, incest will technically be forced on you because the patch alters her relationship to you). If you're absolutely sure you will never want/play any of that or if you don't even like the idea of the option being presented to you for whatever reason, you can probably skip the patch and not miss anything.
Holy crap Neon! That looks awesome! Those first sets of images are unaltered by you? If that's the case, that would be a really interesting option for VN games here! If I ever make a VN (never will, but it's fun to dream
), that's a cool thing to consider.Not trying to pressure you or anything, but you shouldn't let fear of criticism stop youThat's sad, and that's why I know I couldn't do it even if I wanted.

Download URM here and put the rpa file in your '(game name)/game' folder (i.e., 'Friends in Need/Game'). We're actually in luck here because it seems Neon was very kind and clean w/ his code such that you can just use the best method that alters in-game variablesI need a little help, I named MC as Forrest Gump but I cannot name Nicki as Jenny can anybody tell me how can I do that?
So, in-game hold 'alt + m', go into 'Search' tab, and where it says 'in Variable Names', click the variable names and set it to 'Values' instead, then search for 'Nicki' (without apostrophes ofc), 'ni.name' should pop up, replace 'Nicki' value with 'Jenny'. The 'Remember' and 'Watch' options can be ignored; 'remember' just puts the variable in the 'Variables' column so you don't have to search for it again in the future and 'Watch' makes it appear on the side pop-out tab while in-game outside the menu if you have that option enabled (makes altering stuff more convenient so you don't have to use alt + m and can just pop the tab out and alter the variable then pop it back in; don't need it for permanent name changes, it's more for fiddling with money in games, for example).Now, most games in my experience don't have internal variable for character names, so for those games, in the alt + m menu, you'd go into 'Renaming' tab, look in top right for little character symbol w/ a pencil (should say 'rename a character' on mouse-over), click it, look for 'Nicki', type 'Jenny' in replacement box, hit ok
Sometimes the mod can't find a character, though, so in that case, in top right of 'renaming' tab again, hit the plus symbol ('text replacement' on mouse-over), type 'Nicki' in original box, 'Jenny' in replacement box, hit ok (can checkmark 'case insensitive' if you want, but shouldn't be necessary; leave 'replace parts of words' unchecked). Text replacement is dirty method, though, and won't change the name that appears on the character's header text box while you're talking to them, only any in-dialogue mentions of the name/word you replaced.Finally, if you used the second method (renaming/text replacement tabs) for w/e game, don't forget to save these alterations in top right corner; make a new save (paper symbol that says 'new' on mouse-over) and name it w/e, then whenever you alter it further, hit the 'save' button (save disk symbol). When you download a new version of the game, you may have to do this again and I've never figured out how to transfer an alteration file save from one game version to another, sorry. Saving the mod alterations isn't necessary with the first method (changing in-game variable name) which is why it's the best method (obviously you still have to save your game in FiN in order for it to continue working and starting a new game will undo the variable change). Good luck!

Yeah. I know about Patreon and their bullshit. I just don't want to be banging Nicki. I'd like to be able to see her as the annoying little sister, without all the "Let's bang, bro.". That entire scene with her felt so off for me. "Hey, I'm helping you, lil sis. I didn't do it to bang you. I did it because I care about you. Now, go tell your shitty boyfriend to fuck off and if he has a problem with me, he can come to me himself." But, sister or not, at least we'll be able to get her on the friend path later.Sorry if you already know this, but just to be clear, Patreon does not allow incest or darker content and they remove games that have them.

As for forced, that first scene with her was forced. How we treated her in it, was our choice. But, whether or not NeonGhosts fixes it, changes it or not, I'm still going to play this one.

It seems to Me "Nicki syndrome" - character is so realistic so people don't want to have sex with her.
It's like strip dancer/escort girl Velvet stopped being attractive when you know she's 37y.o. Hannah from Ohayo, twice divorced, have 3 children: 3y.o. Max, 7y.o. Theo and 15y.o. Nicole, working for this job to cover her bank loan and must be at Home in 1,5 hours before babysitter go home.
***It's mostly joke***

That's not my reason. I just don't want to bang a VN version of my RL sister.
That just creeps the fuck outta me. lol

Yeah, we all have our reasons... but it seems not only her visuals are what creeps You?That's not my reason. I just don't want to bang a VN version of my RL sister.
(And no I don't know any escort girl Velvet... I don't want to fuck Nicki in the beginning cause I find it not suitable in this situation)

No. Nicki's kind of cute. But, so is my sister. Nicki and my sister are two peas in a pod. They look nothing alike, but, they're almost exactly alike.Yeah, we all have our reasons... but it seems not only her visuals are what creeps You?
