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

[Machete]

i just will never understand the endless streams of people derailing threads with stupid pointless arguments..

This is a forum, my friend. Without pointless arguments them forums would have gone extinct by 1996.

Evil guy should end up in jail yeah he deserves it.

now ur thinkin'.... nice. that would be cute seeing them interact. alas, i think maybe it was just non-canon fun ... she works at the bookstore, after all. but, on the other hand, maybe it could be part time as like training and experience, which her mother would probably approve... or, for dark mc, "training" and "experience" also, it would be a great way for gabby and viola to run into each other (if viola's dark path didn't happen). viola cleaning the apartment as gabby arrives for training and advising. maybe viola gets a little drippy in her presence if you know what i mean ehehe

Gabby and Viola already know each other. They go to school together or something.

 

[Machete]

Is this the Baldur's Gate 3 of AVNs? So many choices and different paths. I'm loving it. Looking forward to more Viola content.

It's indeed a very well made one. Lots of choices, an interesting story, very likeable and well developed character. Sure in my top list.

Yeah, I know, but MC doesn't go to their college so we don't get to see that. I'm trying to think of places where they'll regularly interact together next to MC, because they don't come off as friends or anything from memory, so I'd guess they'd need a really good excuse; can't always be the clothes store after all. It's possible he can have an excuse to make a trip to their school, I dunno. But, I'm just saying if Gabby's his new 'assistant', she'll probably make a trip to his apartment, and if Viola happens to be maid-ing about, that's a good opportunity for an interaction between them in MC's presence where they can get to know each other better. But, I'm pretty sure I'm just projecting my own fantasy Think that picture was just a good opportunity to tease us.

I can solve your problem very simply, guy donated a new library to the school they attend, easy peasy.

What exactly is the taboo content patch?

What exactly is the taboo content patch?

Search works really well for questions like this, that have been asked dozens of time already:
https://f95zone.to/search/304009357/?q=taboo+content&t=post&c[thread]=112500&o=relevance

Basically dark, harsh content; extreme (mis)treatment of the love interests.

 

[shadowsynn]

So the creator was forced to patch that content out, huh? I played some of the earlier builds so thought it might be something different.

lost my saves, can anyone share a full or most recent update save?

I feel like I've been neglecting this thread a bit recently, but it's just because I've had my head down trying to get a bunch of writing done for the game. Hope you folks understand! D:

FYI: I posted a new naughty photoset at the $2 tier on

IMO, Nicki is getting better and more likeable as the story progresses moving forward. Like as someone who is in the dark path in her relationship, I actually started feeling bad for her when the MC was listening on during the conversation with her and the Maya kid. Like you can tell the MC feels a little off about it too. This inclination itself had me make a new save path of being more friendly to her moving forward. She has the most wholesome moments with MC when you think about it.

Ashe is my favourite girl in terms of looks and charisma. Love a bad bitch who doesn't take it too far either.

I don't play many VN's these days, but I am glad I gave this game a try. Well done NeonGhosts

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

Hehe saw it there. Quite spicy some of those potential photosets.

I don't have any dark path. Unless the LI is a b*tch I just want to treat her well

I have paths for every play through so far, just to see the different contrasts in content, along with the dynamics of the relationships MC has with other characters.

The walkthrough provided in the OP's post is excellent and on point.

I prefer the light path because the dark path can get very DARK. But I really like the Ashe extortion path, the way she and MC go back and forth at each other is endearing in its own messed up way. It's probably my second favorite path after Nicki love path.

Mmm, I think that one holds a lot of promise myself. I can see Ashe getting pretty comfortable with their relationship, albeit a lot more cynical than the bubbly girl that she is on the true romance path. That is once she manages to wrap her head around how despite him blackmailing her into dating him, he paradoxically respects her more than other people do.

 

[NewTricks]

As someone who basically grew up playing Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 (and Icewind Dale, another banger) what a huge compliment. One day I hope to have time to try BG3. :'D And don't worry, more Viola's on the way!

Beware BG3. It is consuming my life and I am not getting much work done on our game at all. My partner is obsessed with it too so we are basically fucked.

 

[Master of Puppets]

My only criticism (and it's small), is on the Ashe romance route, would have been nice to

. That would have been a nice touch I think.

Doing that before she tells him about them would be kind of creepy though, don't you think? Now that she has told him about them, he can reveal it all to her a little later on.

 

[PHIL101-YYouPPHard]

BG 3 is great, but dont expect bg 1, 2 / icewind dale. For that play pillars of eternity or pathfinder series.

BG 3 is basically divinity original sin but in the dnd setting. Still amazing, I love divinity series, just tempering your expectations.

To make this not completely off topic... give me more Gabby you villain!

Can't comment on BG3, the DOS series, or the Pathfinder series, but if anyone cares, I personally found PoE1/2 to be pretty disappointing in the writing department, especially regarding dialogue. Overall, it reads as very fan-fiction-y try-hard melodrama. PoE2 is the main problem, as I can't even finish any of my games I start. The world, its inhabitants, and the pacing just lose me every time. So many random NPCs who try to awkwardly dump their life stories onto you, which is a problem I guess with a lot of RPGs, but it especially stands out in #2 imo. It does have great gameplay, though, I'll give it that. I just wish there were RPGs whose writers didn't feel the need to make it another "the world is going to end unless our Mary Sue superhero hand-picked by the gods saves the day!" That's why IWD was so great; pretty basic simple story where the hero is just a guy (or multiple guys if you make a party). Also had one of the most interesting antagonist reveals as well. What a gem.

Anyways, back onto topic haha... I can't wait until Cassie appears. She's my #1 most anticipated character for every single path. She might even be the only LI that doesn't have a romance path, for obvious reasons, depending on how realistic Neon wants to be. Not that there aren't actual sibling fuckers out there, but... they're usually pretty damn rare. If there is a romance path, I personally hope it's the longest, most blue-balled one of them all because that would be very engrossing and believable to me and would make for an actual rewarding incest romance as opposed to most everything else on this site where they just kind of hop into your lap after a while without any issue or buildup. I guess what I'm trying to say is that lovingly fucking your sister should come with some pretty major roadblocks that need to be maneuvered around beforehand, if at all. None of that "hehe, big bro, if you wanted to fuck me, all you had to do was ask! Heehee!" shit. Our resident lesbian Viola should also be hard to romance, if at all possible. Looking forward to seeing how Neon's figured them out.
