VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [Ch. 9 v0.60c] [NeonGhosts]

[Avaron1974]

Yes, but it's closed to the public for now. I'll open it up eventually, but I need to pick a couple people to be mods, because I can't always be around to keep an eye on it.

I'll be a mod, i'm so very trustworthy and always polite to everyone except people I think are absolute cockwombles which admittedly is a lot of people but it's all okay because *insert really good reason here*...

Oh no! Whatever will we do without another incest game??

This game's current cast of characters is good.

The vast majority of incest games are the MC fucking his own family rather than a threesome with a mother/daughter pair, though I don't see that happening here either. I very much doubt that it will ever happen, even with the girls whose mothers are not happily married.

As far as novels go, I'm re-reading Lawrence Block's Bernie Rhodenbarr series for like, the fourth time. Absolutely love those books. Total comfort read. I keep trying to get back into R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt books after I dropped off way back on The Ghost King, but I'm beginning to think I just outgrew them, because I don't find them as fun anymore.

In non-fiction I'm reading The Beast Side, which is pretty interesting.

And over in comics, I've been on a huge manga kick lately. Currently loving Chained Soldier and Wave: Listen to Me!

Never heard of any of those titles but I'll check em out.

 

[HUNUTAN]

When will we get to Gaby following the dark path?
Nicki, on the whole, though pretty, is not at all interesting.
In general, scenes are planned according to the type of mwm?
I understand that many people think this is ntr, although this is not entirely true. So I would still like to know the absence of the ntr tag, does it mean the absence of similar scenes or not?
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to ask the most important thing. When can we expect an update?

Her mom is happily married, she isn't a love interest.

you just burst soooo many peoples bubbles saying that

 

[Jace_Herondale]

Her mom is happily married, she isn't a love interest.

Exactly. I have nothing against banging the wife but only if the husband is a dick.

Gabby's three paths will be explored a few updates from now. I outlined the release schedule a few pages back, but it should land around January for Gabby, Brittani, and Viola.

Maybe. I have some ideas for optional content along those lines.

Update's coming soon. I hate to lay out actual release dates until I'm close to finished, because things always take longer than anticipated. Right now all I really have left to do is three big sex scenes, and some endings, and I'll be done with the rendering side of things. But then I need to go fix some images that have clipping/focus issues, set variables for all the endings, playtest, etc. Best I can do is say it's coming soon.

What if she's lactose intolerant and has just eaten a shit load of cheese?

While Others obviously will differ and thats good, I actually really like Nicki the romance on her route I really like.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

That would be a really shitty situation...

 

[Ragnar]

Well, this could be the perfect game to introduce how to prepare for anal sex. Hygienic care, toys, oils, and so on, like Corruption path: a reluctant Viola goes to do a session at the Record Studio plugged

Well i would be okay with Guy teaching sexual things to Viola so long as it was consensual, but somehow i doubt that would happen. She likely has even less experience than Gabby and i don't think she would jump to kinkier sex right at the start.
Ashe on the other hand...

ps: No cheese!

Well, you can invite her to a cheese fondue after the recording in the Dark Path if thats your thing

On the bright side, he won't have to worry about as many branching paths as there could've been by more or less closing off characters on the "Evil Guy" path.


To me, they have similar vibes to the point where I wasn't surprised that Neon likes Banking on Bella but I don't know how to describe it. Maybe it's the writing styles. Although, to be honest I don't give BoB as much playtime as FiN to really know for sure. It definitely got my attention but the amount of branching paths is colossal and updates are too infrequent for it to hold it. I'll still try to take a jab at it.

I feel like they both have a certain sense of realism. Of course, there's stuff that just seems wild or zany. Like Guy basically winning the modern lottery and becoming a multi-millionaire overnight. Still, I think both devs know how to write characters that could be actual people you might encounter. I think it comes from real life experience that most writers of VNs don't have. It makes the story feel more "grounded" in a sense.

- An MC who goes through his work day, actually doing the work and his thought process. Not just "I did some work" and it cuts to the end of the day.
- Characters who act in line with their established personas.
- Remarks or lines from characters that make you think "Hah, yea. I can imagine someone saying that"

That was probably a shitty explanation but that's my take/best guess.

No, it's a good comparison. Maybe I'll try it again.
I honestly don't think BoB can compare to FiN in terms of quality, but basically I have never played a porn game as good as FiN. And I have really played a lot of porn games. Like the majority of degenerates who populate this forum.
I don't know, FiN has something that no other has. Freedom, maybe. The character design, most likely. And an aura that surrounds each scene, and that tells you that it is a very well thought out and worked game.

Perhaps, but the show must go on nonetheless..

Yea, some of these games are an "acquired" taste. Like black coffee. Feels lacking for some but hits one or two right notes for others.
Whereas games like Friends in Need can be enjoyed by anyone.

Black coffee is the best for me. My first time having coffee, I was 12 and my dad made it for me. He poured very little coffee in the mug, added lots of sugar and cream. Nasty as hell. Didn't try it again until I was 15 and just poured myself a full mug and didn't add anything to it. My dad looked at me and raised an eyebrow when I said "This good. Did you change brands?"

But yes, FiN is for everyone.

 

[SlapE]

This is definitely a top 5 adult game for me, maybe even top 3. There's still a lot of story left to tell, and choices to make, so who knows it may very well become my favorite at some point, though there is one game that's gonna be very hard to beat for me, so idk.

What I do know is, I'm ready to take Ashe to pound town again.
