I'll definitely get it if it comes to steam.
Although I'll be a little dissapointed if the dark stuff has to be cut.

I loved having Ashe roleplay as Cassie.
wait is he planning a steam release? that's awesome tho I have a feeling it would have to be either the vanilla version or like you normal without the patch.

RC-1138 Boss posted it a few posts above.

Neon is looking into releasing it on steam late this year.

It's a day one buy for me.

A lot of people have kind of read into the Lucien Graves thing, and I mean.. How do you introduce yourself to people? *shrug!* Lucien's name does have some special meaning, but we'll learn more about that next chapter.
Loosely in the grave? He's our dead-man-walking, the POS that he is; no six feet under for him, too much effort. Thrown into a ditch, and loosely covered; the rain can have at him :cool:

Er.... I mean... hehe.

By two scenes do you mean both the ones in the Receptionist Office after smoking up?
Or is there any one I'm missing?


If only there was a Gallery / Guide but I am not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I have three paths - Dark / Grey / White - where I mostly prefer White/Grey over Dark
Just FYI, maybe you already know this, but the game is quite a bit more complicated than 'good, neutral, evil'. I have the same kind of saves ofc just because it's way simpler to do it that way, so I'm not shitting on that or anything. Just giving a heads up on how the game is designed.

And, if you ever need some info in a playthrough, like for example, what a particular scene requires, URM is a useful mod that works for every renpy game. If it detects an available scene at a junction, and you happen to not have the prerequisites for it, it'll let you view the scene anyways and then go back to your normal game when you're done. It can be buggy sometimes, of course, but worth a shot if no alternatives. I'm sure Neon doesn't want us to play this way and I feel kinda bad every time I recommend it, but... if you'd play a walkthrough anyways, this is the same idea. I personally prefer it over walkthroughs. Sometimes, we just don't have the time for a whole other playthrough. :cry:

Romantic sex scenes with Risa & Viola will most likely happen later in the story.
I like that Neon is taking time in building the relationships first.

It will make the romance path for each girl even better imo.
Yeah, I feel bad for romance enjoyers who will inevitably get scenes later. But, that's kinda the point of romance isn't it? If you want instant gratification without being cruel (mostly), there's corruption route. I think people get too accustomed to the kind of VNs where the girls utterly revolve around the MC and don't feel like real people with real thoughts of their own at all.

Of course, there are a few girls who will give you romance scenes really fast. Nicki & Ashe are the main ones. Gabby is pretty quick on that trigger, too. But, for Ashe & Gabby, you have to be willing to be a little toxic and let's say "forward" (push Ashe into the alley, touch Gabby's thigh etc.). But, it's not dark path cruel or anything like that, not even close. Just creepy if you think about it in RL. Not sure if Neon plans to have any consequences for that kinda stuff or not, but I'm definitely enjoying it so far and the LIs seem to be as well. So, there's definitely options for impatient people!

holy shit props to Risa's hair gel or whatever she is using, this thing is holding for its dear life lol
Speaking of, NeonGhosts , for those of us who have no clue how this stuff works, how crazy hard is it to accurately model gravity on various things? Very few games show the affect of gravity on hair, and I don't think I've ever seen breasts that looked realistic on a woman laying down (assuming they're real anyway). I assume it's an absolute bitch to tweak the models for that stuff.


tldr; 450+ renders finished, and I ramble about plans to make Friends in Need easier to find, and on other platforms.
I caught that change with Trevor, Neon.

For those that don't know, bleaching your hair can remove certain drugs from the body. It's why you see a lot of sports players bleaching their hair after the offseason or (in the case of soccer/football) after international breaks.

it can be done easily if the hair asset uses dforce, if not dev can add a dforce modifier to hair, but this is where it gets tricky because the hair should be of good quality to be simulated properly, you need to find right parameters and so on and so forth. also I guess gpu should be capable enough to not catch fire in the process lol.

I can't remember did Guy figure out that Pepper is a camgirl?
Guy has two opportunities to learn that she is a camgirl but I believe that if you wish him to be ignorant of that fact you can avoid it. It will be interesting to see if that will be better or worse.

I discussed this in the comments of that post, but I'd probably make a specialty version of Friends in Need that kept most of the morally dubious content (corruption, roleplay, etc.) but just relegated most of the extreme content to a patch file. That way there'd still be a version of FiN that had a lot of moral wiggle room, while being a little more palatable for a mass audience.

For that shot of Risa, I tried! :'D But, her hair model didn't have a preset to make it go in the right direction, and adding a dForce modifier.. Well.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I could always sub out the hair with a long dForce-ready hair asset, use a shader to make it look close to Risa's existing hair, and then simulate it.. But, it's like two shots out of 1000+ so I wasn't keen to spend too much time on it.

Jamie is lucky Brittani was there because if she wasn't I would have thrown him out a window.
I didn't fight him though because I don't want to see a delicate flower like Britt exposed to violence.
