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

[Tojjya]

Yeah, there is now a patch that you can download on the front page (or create yourself : create a .txt or whatever file and change it to .rpy so it's called "patch.rpy") and put it in your "game" subfolder. The patch itself is empty because the game just checks if the file is present.
Then you will have the darker options available, although you still have to have enough "dark points" (that you get by using said dark choices) of course.

Thank you bro, for helping. Now it's showing. Thanks

 

[Elduriel]

I'm pretty sure as soon as the next S2 chapter releases, you'll be here

I didn't go anywhere, I'll just wait until this mess is sorted out

rel=0 is usually if you're on the friendly path aka never had sex with them. I think you have to just give her money without doing anything with her.

The issue is in that scene, there's a fork in the dialogue for nirel=0, but to reach that fork, the MC has to choose "Pull her panties down", which automatically sets nirel=1 instead of keeping nirel=0.

Will there be an update for android?

At the moment, yes, but probably not until the game is actually out for public release.

Will there be an update for android?

There is one available here

Hi All.
Should save games created in v0.72 work with the new version0.85c? I appreciate they're in a different directory.

Please ignore, I've just seen the answer, it's no.

That Brazilian chick got on a boat with Guy. She mustn't have heard of the implications

The implications can be AIDS for Guy, you don't go around fucking strangers without protection

Do we have any interactions with Cassie so far, I’ve only seen her in a picture on the phone, is that all we’ve got from her so far?

The final chapter of the season, which the rebuild hasn't caught up to (unless ch 11 is going to be incorporated into the first season, but I don't think it is?) she shows up in a jail cell next to you. I don't know how you find out she's there if you don't get put in a cell, I didn't play that path.

Did anyone count how often this dev writes "the young woman"?

The old chapter one looked like shit compared to the rest of the game, and the characterizations made no sense. So it got rewritten. Additionally, Neon was very new to coding a game when he started this game, so the whole game was chaotic as fuck. Plus, some scenes got cut short because of release time crunches. With the new chapter 1, the start of chapter 2 felt very....sudden.

So, Neon has been going through the game to this point, rewriting chapter one, adding a major new section to chapter two, and going through and finishing scenes and cleaning up code. This takes time. It's not quite done yet, but it is close. Unless Neon actually decides to rewrite Gabby's early scenes. Which, honestly, I'd be OK with - they could be a lot....sexier.

What he has NOT done is stopped development on new material. It has slowed it down a bit, but there has been a new playable preview of the new chapter almost every month this year. It's not done yet, but it's getting close. Once the season 1 redo is finished, the new chapter will come out quite quickly. It's been kinda story heavy, but very entertaining, and there is some super sexy stuff in it. And we haven't even gotten to the REALLY good part yet! Gabby is cumming! Well, she will be!


Not quite yet. Just a bit left to go.


It hasn't been released to the public yet.



Season one is finished. It was supposed to be getting cleaned up prior to a Steam release, before the political climate got very hostile for AVN's of any kind, particularly those containing rougher material.

i never said anything about chapter one? its the missing chapter 10 (TEN) at the end im confused about.

Is there any change with the content? cause I'm a bad guy to everyone except Brittani.

 

[DiTo]

Is there any change with the content? cause I'm a bad guy to everyone except Brittani.

Here is the 'change log' the dev posted:

- Restores the (newly renumbered) Chapters 7, 8, and 9.

- Adds an 'extra' sub-menu on the title screen, allowing you to access the short stories, Blue Valentine and A Slave to Desire.

- Adds a small scene for Ashe in Chapter 8.

-Corrects various continuity errors, typos, and dialogue.

Here is what he said about the update:

It doesn’t really add much new content, if you’ve played the Legacy version. There’s a little addition to Ashe’s love path ero scene, but it’s <20 renders.

So, what’s next? Well, I want to knock out some stuff for the upcoming chapter, so I don’t fall behind. I’ll also need to do a little rendering for the end of Season 1. But the goal is to have the rest of Season 1, and the beginning of Season 2, finished this month.

Dev Update! 10/7/2025



Hey, folks! Hope your week's off to a good start. Sorry to get this up a day late, but the day job kicked my butt yesterday, and I didn't have the energy to write this up.

In recent days I put out a new Season 1 build for all supporter tiers, which integrated another three chapters into the newest version. Two more to go, and that'll be it for Season 1. In terms of content, this one is/was pretty modest. It adds a very small branch for Ashe from her ero scene, which added a negligible number of renders. The main purpose of the build was to update variables and continuity/logic, tweaking some of Ashe's dialogue to reflect changes new possibilities that were added with the previous Season 1 build.

It also added extras like A Slave to Desire and Blue Valentine to the base game, allowing you to access them from the main menu. In the next build, I'll have some more goodies in there, like the original version of Chapter 1, and the super-short 'anti-Nicki' joke patch. And this is all a precursor to eventually having a working gallery system built into the game. I'm also working on getting the prose short stories from the blog added in, along with character profiles, etc. Right now you can expect the implementation of these additions to be a little ugly, but I intend to pretty them up a bit over time.

I'll be unlocking the current build of Season 1 tomorrow, and updating the blog's pinned post to remove some links that are no longer necessary.

Now, as for the debut chapter for Season 2, I'm still working on that. I'm about halfway through Alex's scene, which means I need to finish that, a small scene with Cassie, and then the content with Gabby which ends the chapter. After that, I'll be done. There's still some work ahead, but the end creeps ever closer into sight.

This whole dual channel development thing, working on new material while fixing up old material, put a real damper on some of my plans for the year. I have timelapse videos for scene creations that I've been meaning to record voice-overs for, I've got a spicy fantasy novel that I want to release in serialized format that needs some edits, I've got mini-game scripts similar to Blue Valentine sitting around waiting to be rendered, and on and on. But, this whole year has been spent keeping a bunch of plates in the air, leaving me without the time and energy to focus on other, fun stuff. That'll all be coming to an end soon, and I'm looking forward to having some free time available again.

Until then, thanks for bearing with me during this chaotic time. As always, take care of yourselves -- and thank you for your support!

Alex's scene!!!! Yesss, finally I've been waiting for years, I remember I was a poor dumb adult back then when alex first introduced, now I'm still the same poor dumb adult nothing change.

Of course, I just don't think you meant what you said. S2 is gonna drop, and your breeches are gonna drop with it.

I mean if what I don't like with the development will be fixed then sure, I never denied I like the game itself. But I'll make an informed decision when that happens.

 

[Wall Of Text]

There's many games where I wish the dev would spend some time on reworking some aspects of it.

The problem with this is that it always starts the same. "I'm just gonna rework this one <thing> (chapter, scene, whatever)" Then it's, "Well I reworked that, but it no longer matches with this, so I gotta fix that too" Which turns into, "I'm only doing the one thing, and the thing that the thing effects, and the thing that effects, but it's just the one thing." Which actually turns into an entire year of no releases but the rework, and no actual progress released on the story, and somehow saying that it's not that much, it's just this one thing, and ignore the fact that the one thing turned into like, 12 other things. Which then breaks the community into two pieces, the guys who are all like, "Yeah, no, its fine, take the next decade working on reworks" and the people who are like, "Yeah, no, my support was going to continued development, not fixing things I already liked" And the best part is, after watching literal DOZENS of AVN devs do the same things, I still somehow get sucked into believing that it'll be different. And it's not. Le sigh.

Well, in general, the VN is bereft of old women.
