VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [Mini-Sode: Blue Valentine] [NeonGhosts]

[NeonGhosts]

I am considering doing a mason playthrough at some point, even though they are near the bottom of my list of Li's, the only one lower is Gabby, she is someone I will never do personally.

My question is if I treat Mason like a girl during sex, but like a boy out of sex, is that still considered the romance path, or exploitation path?

From Mason’s POV: He’s been surviving through sex work for quite a while, presenting as a woman. So, compartmentalizing the two parts of his personality isn’t exactly new or traumatic.

But, it will likely mean that you won’t have the best romantic ending. Doesn’t necessarily preclude *a* romantic ending, though. And if you’re just interested in a friends-with-benefits situation? No problem there.

Guys, I think I screwed up pretty bad. I’m getting this weird error. The game keeps asking me to fix the 'line splits' one by one. From what I can tell, it’s reading every split as a new line. When I fix one by joining it, it just moves on to the next. Does anyone know if there’s a way to merge all the split lines at once? This is gonna take forever to do manually.

oki see why nicki is disliked by some and with good reason... going from cool workfriend you felt you could shoot the shit to being asked by her BF to be an escort for you and ACCEPTING to get out of debt.... the context of it timing and so on is why even i felt like telling her to F off... if its a good friend that stayed close after the job and such and said she was in shit yes sure way.. but due to her BF and that she heard you got cash..it feels... ya

Feel free to post an image of your error screen, so I can see what it is. Did you happen to play a demo version between chapters, and make a save with it? Because that’s the leading cause of game-breaking bugs with FiN.

Was there any sexual favors with gabbys mom yet, if there were I missed it, but she looked smoking hot in that black lingerie. Thought there would of been an option for atleast some head for bailing out her jailbird, otherwise he’s gonna look like a simp, not getting anything in return

the game feels like it's getting distracted from itself. The last part in the Police station felt very forced and shallow and really took away from the update. in the end, the update felt weak and/or thin. just my two cents worth but perhaps the story needs to be trimmed down a bit (lot)

quick question - is there still a dark path?

Most critics revolve around it: too much food on the table, the game needs more focus on less characters.
(I 100% agree with it)

But you've just heard him answering here: it's his game, his story, and this is the pathway he chose.

I presume this is Python being Python and you opened the script with an editor that changed the way lines are structured for parts of the script and then saved it. You either make every indentation in your script tabs or the same number of spaces.

You can try fixing this with Notepad++, enable advanced search terms, search and replace the respective hidden characters until it is all the same indentation and line ending again.
By the by that's \r\n for Windows, just \n for Linux and some other combination for Macs.

Care to expand on that? I feel like everything has lead/is leading to everything else. Naturally, some stuff may feel fractured depending on the path you’re taking. But, if you’re on what I’d call the main route..

I’m not going to say everything aligns perfectly. My biggest regret is that I didn’t elongate the timeline for the game a bit, and when I finish the thing I plan to go back and do just that. But, I think events basically flow together. Especially when you account for this day being a bit hellish for our protagonist, with everything colliding and going wrong at the same time.

This is the error I keep getting.

I believe this is a result of playing the leaked version of Chapter 9, where that variable hadn't yet been set. If you go back to Chapter 9 and play through the part where you decide how to handle Mason's errand (at the hotel or diner with Risa) that'll resolve itself. I'll add a little menu option to the Beta, just to reset the variable.

Got it! Thanks!

Its a problem for like 85% of the games on here. Some devs either think just more = better, or get bored with their girls halfway through and just add more to spice things up rather than just end a game and make a new one.

Imo the sweet spot for games trying to tell a decent story, is 3-4 girls as it gives you plenty of time to build out full characters in a reasonable timeframe. When you start having games with 10 Lis, without a game being 100 hours to play everyone just feels shallow.

Thank God, while fixing the errors one by one, I somehow bumped into the real problem. Turns out, I accidentally deleted one of the quotation mark/apostrophe in the dialogue line where that reads 'mc"De nada."' Btw, I have no clue what 'De nada' could mean .

But still, thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah people don't like feeling used as piggy banks, what a shocker.

 

[deathscyth69]

what does the taboo content patch do it add taboo content or remove it?

 

[ImperialD]

this update is full of these

 

[SonsOfLiberty]

this update is full of these

Well, it is an alpha (like most alphas are used for testing and not for public) after all...maybe people should wait for the beta with most of the bugs fixed at least before playing.
