Can someone explain how the novel is listed as 10-0.71, the regular version when downloading as .v.0.57b,
and the Vanilla as version Ch8-0.57??

Going by the changelog the Vanilla version is lagging behind the "full content" release, at least here?

The regular version you can download is 0.71, at least on Gofile. Not sure where you got 0.57 from.

The GoFile one is V.0.71 at 4.2GB which i just downloaded.
The one I downloaded is v.0.57b.special release at 2.5 GB.
I figured the Special Release was a remake, or an updated version, then again the size of the 2 downloads is much lower.

Anywho, I will be running the Gofile one now and delete the special edition one.
Thanks for the response.

The 0.57b one is, I think, Friends Indeed which is the vanilla one with few/no "dark" options.

The GoFile link is up-to-date, I downloaded it just the other day. I didn't try the others though.

I'd say no one bothered to leak the vanilla version, so that’s why it’s behind the normal version.

I think the vanilla version is just behind - maybe Neon is waiting to rework Ch 1 before updating the vanilla. The thing is that the vanilla is only good for selling in places that don't allow darker content. There is nothing in that version that isn't in the regular version - it's just that in the regular version vanilla is one of the options instead of the only option.

EDIT: actually, I looked at the code out of curiosity, and it seems that if you're on her 'no relationship path' aka friend path and she's afraid of you, it's impossible to bring her to the alley. If you're just on her friend route, but she's not afraid, you can bring her. Is this intended NeonGhosts? Line 12411.

EDIT2: btw Neon, there's a typo here in the script: "Your feel ice in your guts, and you know in your heart that the conversation is over.". Back in the early chapters.

Fighting a bad virus right now and for some reason dug in the code some more out of curiosity about Gabby's routes. Got caught up in rereading the dialogue, man... great stuff dude.

Yup, that's working as intended! If you're on the friend + fear route, then you basically told Gabby that you'd let her off the hook without any expectation of a sexual relationship, provided she let the past be the past. So, she's walking on eggshells, and Guy's using the situation to coerce her into respecting him. But, there's not a sexual dimension to that relationship. But, that version of Gabby may be useful in other ways.

And thanks for the heads-up on the typo! It's fixed, now. Feel better, man!

Nah, Friends Indeed always updates at the same time as Friends in Need.. I don't know what's going on with it, as I don't mess with the OP. I've said it before, but there's really no reason to upload Friends Indeed here. If you want to play a vanilla version of Friends in Need, then just don't unlock that content in FiN. Friends Indeed only has certain code/images stripped out, to make a Patreon-compliant version of the story.

(There's also some stuff in the Lucien content which has been altered to focus more on the horror/drama, and make those scenes less titillating.)

Will how Cassie acts depend on what sort of character our version of Guy is I wonder? Like will she be nice if we are, but if we are mean she is mean?

I'm looking forward to chapter one remake but more so chapter eleven specifically for Cass.

I wondered the same thing about the MC's mother, actually, when we encounter her probably far in the future. But you know, if Neon was planning to do something like change a character's personality depending on the MC's personality, it'd probably make more sense for Cassie. Much bigger workload, though, I'd imagine. Interesting to think about!

Note that if you are on her friend route but she is not afraid then this whole sequence is skipped altogether:
Python: 
    if gbfear == True or gabbyrel == 2 or gabbyrel == 3 :
        jump ch10_gabby_home3
    else :
        jump ch10_gabby_home2
_home 2 is for friend/love paths, and it has none of the alley stuff.

So Guy on the friends/neutral path won't be doing sexual things, no matter if Gabby is scared of him or not.

Whoops, missed that one!
