VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [S1 v0.85c] [NeonGhosts]

[Elduriel]

I've not played since...[Ch. 8 v0.57] iirc...long before even Lucian made an appearance. The minute he said he needed to redo Ch1 because of Niky and the code I stopped....and I waited (and more new content came out)...and waited (and more new content came out)....and waited (and more new content came out)....18 months now I believe since he first mentioned it? Longer perhaps?

fuck if I know man I'm lost with all the different versions anyway I have like 3 different installs of the same game, can't say I've seen that before

Love the game and hoping Season 2 gets here yesterday!
If there is one thing I'm still hoping for (and I know it's almost assuredly not happening) it's a harem ending.
Let Guy be a slut, have a few love partners and the rest being friends with benefits

Most likely cuz you installed mods for a different version of the game

First I tried 0.85c, then 0.73, with and without taboo patch
None of the combinations let me have sex with Viola or Brittani (I don't care about others)

What I am doing wrong?

 

[Fuzzy Nuts J]

I feel like it would be helpful, and I'm not even joking, to have a separate tag for this stuff. Because it happens so insanely frequently. Instead of people constantly checking the updates only to find that the dev has slightly touched up pre-existing content, just smack a "being remastered" tag on the game, which can be removed once meaningful content starts showing up again.

People who are familiar with the forum will immediately understand that the "being remastered" tag means the dev has entered the milking phase and no new content should be expected in the foreseeable future.

Remastered doesnt mean what you think it means, the adjective you're looking for is ReWritten or ReCreated.

A remastering of something is recreating the originals media content, usually to increase quality, or to add additional content or context.

In either case: Its always bullshit. Fans sign on to projects because they like whats there, if you want to redo something FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED FIRST! then go back and do your rework.

Are there even any sex scenes with them yet?

A remastering of something is recreating the originals media content, usually to increase quality, or to add additional content or context.

That is exactly what Neon has done here. He's replaced the original chapter with higher quality renders, and added new content that puts things in different context.

A "director's cut" may be a better analogy here.

That said, "finish what you started first" isn't always the good advice, not when the original content negatively impacts or doesn't work well with the ongoing development. Ultimately, it's down to the author whether they want to continue working on the original iteration or it's something they for whatever reason find too annoying to put up with anymore. You aren't going to get anything worthwhile from demanding they work against their insticts/wishes.

 

[Hephannon]

But the patch enables what you seem to be looking for and the fact that it requires a patch is more because of a return to puritanism in general society than it is the fault of NG. The patch is "part" of the redo, just separate because of legal(-ish?) reasons, in my understanding.
Install the patch (and yeah it's empty, that's normal), enjoy the Dark path just as it was before (except for the beginning) and then...enjoy it some more?

Sure, can do that, but I'm pretty disappointed at how this game evolved : very few updates in years, instead we got a prudish version to please idk who...
Not sure the dev will make much on Steam even with a prude version, but for sure he milked the subscribers

1 with viola, 2 with britt

a remaster does not change, remove, or make edits.

 

[Gumshoe08]

Im confused what the fuck si the update even about? Last version had chapter 11 now with the update the game ends in chapter 10!?

"Prude version"? Did you use the patch?

I was going by what you literally said and what i quoted in my post

"Adding content" is very much making a change, unless you simply misspoke.

 

[Wojtek96]

- You can already have sex with Viola ( dark path )
- with Brittani only boob job,and a forced blowjob on the dark path

I know, I mean I remember I could do this when I played last time
but now I can't
how to get "dark path"?

 

[Jarulf]

1 with viola, 2 with britt

Right. I wasn't playing their paths before.

Which explains why I haven't seen either.
