Is the age gap between Guy and Gabby weird? He's like 30 something and she's 18 I'm attracted to her but I care about how Guy is perceived by people I don't want them thinking he's a dirty old creep taking advantage of a teenager.
The thing is Gabby is "18" *wink* *wink* She acts and looks like a jailbait. While Britt or Peeper may be jailbait territory too they don't give that creepy vibe. Gabby looks like the younger girl in the game, Maya doesn't count. This is fantasy and all that but if you want to make the story a bit realistic GuyxGabby relationship would be frowned upon by others.

This has confused me cause Gabby is 18 right? Like the game lets you set her age but just given the context of what she says and how she talks it sounds like she is a legal adult. But why let us set age then? Was this just a remnant from an old version that was changed for patreon compliance?

Pretty sure there are a handful of more conservative countries that require the age to be 21. Allowing players to set the age could just be a an easy solution to cover several bases & make us all happy.

So was the close friends tier released today?
It's been up on my Discord for a couple hours, but I'm just now getting it up on SubStar and Boosty. I usually wait to upload everything until I've built Friends Indeed too, which can take a minute. Then, I realized I had screwed up an important scene jump on an alternate path, and had to rebuild and re-upload stuff.

Also, for anyone who plans on subscribing: Please, please, please for the love of God, because I deal with this on every release, no matter what say: If you're going to subscribe for Friends in Need (with taboo content able to be enabled via patch) please do not subscribe on Patreon, which only offers Friends Indeed (with taboo content removed down to the code).

Honestly? Because I was screwing with different game functions, and learning Ren'py. So, I was just trying stuff. When I re-release the game with a new Chapter One, that function will be removed. It's already removed from the code of the Friends Indeed.

11/30 For those of us who aren't on the $15 tier of his Patreon. When they say that money can't buy happiness, this is how I know they're full of shit.
Or 11/22 for anyone with $5! Or 11/26 for anyone with $2! :D

But hey, since I forgot: Here's , a mini-game (more of a kinetic novel..) starring one of the ladies from FiN. Free!

Also, for anyone curious, Chapter 10 came in right under 1700 images, making it about 400 images larger than any update before it. It has 90,000 words, making it the size of your average paperback novel.

Just in case anyone wants to know why I've been dragging my feet. :'D

When you re release ch.1 version, are you thinking of adding the energy system to the Ashe date ending, to have multiple options to do things, like you mentioned before, or did you scrap that idea. I am fine either way, just curious.

Money can't buy happiness, but it does buy the conditions in which happiness is possible. For instance, early access to cool video games.

It's a good update, by the by. Gabby's lewd scene is particularly enjoyable.
