Actually horses are good for about fifteen horsepower, depending on how good the horse is.

Dev Update! 7/31/23
Hey, hi, and howdy! Hope everyone's doing well this week.
At long last I'm winding down work on the next update. Renders stand at 1284 as of now. By this Friday I'll be posting the Beta version of Friends Indeed, with the final version to follow not long thereafter. As always, it'll be released in tiers, staggered by patron level, before finally being opened to the public. I know it's been a long road, but we're nearly there.
This week's been spent primarily working on erotic scenes, so I don't have a ton of images I can display here on the public post. So, I thought I'd whip up a few HD pics of Madison and Pepper, as a little bonus. We don't get to see a lot of Madison, but her time is fast approaching.
Besides the always-fun (and often-tedious!
) work of completing the art, I was also working to resolve a nasty little bug I'd made for myself. Folks at the $5+ support level will be aware of this, as I briefly explained my frustrations in last week's Sneak Peek post. I've said it many times, but I'm not a strong coder. Technical stuff just ain't my bag! Fortunately, I have an absolutely amazing community of supporters here, and had two different people offer me a hand with it. So big ups to fans of the game, Nyyppa and MasterOfPuppets. Y'all the real MVPs.
So, yeah! Not really much to say at this point. I'm just keeping my nose to the grindstone as I gut this one out.
I'm super excited to finally get this into everyone's hands, but I'm really excited to move onto the next update. See, when I began this project, I'd actually written a four-chapter outline. I wanted to get ahead of the curve, and have plenty of scripts in the can before I even started rendering.
But, things changed, as they tend to do. I added a lot of characters, a lot of new story hooks, got better at coding, and refined my whole production process. So, all that stuff basically got chucked in the trash. But, the original Chapter Four ended with a big story beat, which would have reverberated through following chapters. Now, finally, I'll be getting back to that moment. This means nothing to you folks, but for me it's kind of a big deal. I'm coming to the end of the road I'd initially laid out, and moving off into uncharted waters.
(Except I've totally be charting those waters, in the interim.)
So, stay tuned and watch this space, and I'll have some new stuff for you soon enough. As always -- I sincerely appreciate everyone who supports this little project of mine. Without you folks, I couldn't do it. Much thanks and eternal gratitude to all of you fine folks.
Take care of yourselves, and see you back here soon!

I think they're hilarious. I imagine it like she's standing there in her little black dress and stiletto heels lecturing him on the finer points of why blackmailing girls into intimate acts is wrong while he's just sitting there in his kiddy boardshorts complaining that it's Turtle Time and her ass is blocking the television. How absolutely degrading that this is what her life is now and this complete manchild has absolute control over it. I love it. Spoon me up another heaping of that.Damn Guy those are some ugly pants.
Nice to have a release date already.
Just leaving this here so I can find it again without scrolling through 40 pages of updated games..

I doubt that most of us want to do to him the things we want to do to her.

Well, this is true. Especially for the guys that are on her path. Me, I'm on her friend path, so, I have no issues being his friend.
Whoops, sorry I'm so late replying. Yeah, I could also be mistaken in my memory, but I'm pretty sure Pepper and Viola give you the same scenes, bar the romantic/sexual stuff.
So, last update, you finally encounter Pepper in the restaurant and deal with her little drama or w/e, trying to get to the bottom of the missing money, and at this point you can decide what path you're going to take with her. It's the usual, ofc, basically: friend/nice, corruption/findom, and psychopath grapist. I don't recall any particular romantic path there, I think you have to pick the friendly stuff for now which ofc increases her happy points (which is the goal in romance, as we all know). Pepper's official romantic path might be established in the next encounter with her, as romance tends to be more delayed than the other stuff. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.
As for Viola, the only encounter with her so far is at the clothing store where, as with most other initial major encounters, you can set her routes up. It's the same for her, though: corruption/findom, psychopath grapist, or friend/nice where you just help her and increase her happy points. We'll see her again in the next update according to Neon, though it seems it'll be brief.
So, yeah, I think with all the girls, friend route isn't shutting you out of any of their actual plots and dramas, it only re-frames everything and of course removes the romance/sexual stuff. Also, it's important to keep in mind that Neon has written and scripted his game to allow a lot of route flexibility, which for us means we are allowed to change our minds regarding the women, within reason. We can go from friend route -> romance or findom or grape, or from corruption/findom -> romance(?)/friendlier findom? (lol, never tried to do this and the game is still far from completion, so still a little fuzzy on the execution details), and so on. If the drama stuff was totally taken out, this would basically remove these opportunities for the friend route, which imo would be a loss.
Also also, Pepper and Viola are considered main characters according to Neon. I think all the women in the game's banner picture on the front page are the main cast. The screen time of course doesn't reflect that so far, but the game is young
Damn, this update sure turned into something of a behemoth this time around. I'm pretty excited.
Right now I think Brittani is my favorite (hey, I'm a boob guy), but I can easily see Viola or Pepper moving way up the list and possible to the top with more content. Viola probably more so, 'cause she feels like the most... innocent? I guess is the word?, of all of them. That probably the biggest reason I can't see doing any bad paths with her.Also also, Pepper and Viola are considered main characters according to Neon. I think all the women in the game's banner picture on the front page are the main cast. The screen time of course doesn't reflect that so far, but the game is young
Yeah, it does take a special kind of person to pursue Viola's dark route. She's so innocent and vulnerable, you're definitely in good company friend
..
Oh btw, full disclosure, I'm one of those special people; hello from hell! Mwuahahahah! Block me while you still can lesser wholesome fapper! The dark routers shall rule this subforum in due time!
Nah, in all honesty, I'm just really into variety and good writing, whether it's wholesome or dark. I'm a man of many arousals, so don't have any trouble busting to either fantasy. Yeah, maybe I feel a tad guilty watching what my MC did to Viola and yeah, Neon's writing is extremely engrossing, but at the end of the day, for me, I've just never had much of an issue separating pixels and fiction from rl desires. Other people very understandably can't, nothing wrong with that
I view it sort of like watersports fetish, you're either into it, or think it's fucking disgusting, to the point where you wanna tell those watersporters how you really feel, haha. Or, maybe scat fetish is a better comparison... peepee isn't as taboo as it used to be.Anyways, Brit's also one of my fucking favorites! And truthfully, I'm convinced I just might actually enjoy her romance route more than her dark route. Same for Viola and Mason, too, they're just too lovable
Gabby, too, ofc, but she gives off more sex appeal than 'cuteness', for me anyways. Probably because she doesn't have a crushing backstory, so she's simply more spoiled than the other three I mentioned, which ruins her for some here; for me, I'll take w/e her lil' black derriere gives me baby, hell yeah .
