I wanna try all the paths in this game, but I'm unable to "force" Ashe in the alley scene.

How to I force her in the alley?

Right now, when I "kiss her" and she refuses it, there is no option to "force", there's only the option to "stop and apologize".

What do I have to do to get the "force" option?

Make sure you have the normal version game 'Friends in Need' and not the vanilla version 'Friends Indeed'. Then install the patch. All the necessary files are on the front page of this game thread. Will have to start a fresh game too to make sure the scripts work properly. Should work after that.

If you already have all that taken care of, then only other thing I can think of is the darker options might require a darker Guy, so maybe you haven't been mean enough to Ashe specifically (ashe dark points obtained from the bar interaction) or mean enough in general (MC dark points from doing dark things to anyone)? But I can't remember sorry.

just finished playing the special from the link on substar..and..damn, that's what i want to see. more content like this, but in the game. sides of some of the characters that are enemies of the mc and Nicki. spoiler incoming.
i loved seeing the consequences of Brent's actions fucking his life up completely. he is such a delusional fuck. loved seeing him get cucked by his coworker and his imaginary gf. best scene by far is when he is dreaming at the beginning and mc has Nicki sucking him off and calls him a cuck..made me laugh out loud..
Which part of the game is this?

The special part is a lot of fun playing but i doubt that Nikki's so called boyfriend is man enough to speak that way to a mobster who he owes money to and have send Nikki to do all those things he send her to do

Will there be a compressed version of this update?
Building a crunched version is a bit of a pain in the ass right now, but I've updated SubStar with a PC and MAC Renpy file which only has the new content in it. The content is functionally identical to the full version, with the exception of MC's name being set to the default of 'Guy Harrison.'

Well, his bravado faded pretty quickly as soon as he realized Ron knew where he was. It's easy to be brave when you think you're out of reach. :D

So, will there be another way onto Risa's path? Or going down and getting the footjob the only way to start her path and if we don't we will be jist friends. I like her, but I rather not turn down either Nicki or Ashe options, so I am hoping for a alternate way onto her path, maybe in the next update.
Missed this, but yup! Risa's kind of sexually liberated enough that the footjob isn't overly important, one way or another. Next chapter will give you the chance to get on basically any path with her.

I really like how Nicki's path is unfolding on the romance route.
She is slowly coming out of her shell and its awesome to see.
Guy has more restraint than me I would want to bash Brent's head in for what he did to her.

Does this game have any music or sound effects?

I see the "volume" options in the settings of the game, but I hear no music or sound at all when playing the game.

yeah neon is one of the best at doing facial expressions imo. I normally would never play the dark path but I checked it out once an update and only read the dialogue for context and skip past the lewds and well the facial expression on Ashe if depending on your choices, makes me wonder if there is a possiblity for a redemption arc.

At present, no -- mostly. The new update has some sound effects, just because I wanted to play with the function a bit. I plan to add music and sound effects when I get the game ready to release on Steam. The unfortunate reality is that my day job doesn't really leave me with enough time to focus on development, as is. So, I focus most of my efforts into the art and writing.

To be fair (to be faiiiiirrrrr) I didn't do the art in the first chapter. I did do the Ashe stuff, but I'd also been using Daz for like, ten minutes at that point. :p

I hope the steam release goes smoothly for you mate the more people that see and play this great game the better.
