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

[PHIL101-YYouPPHard]

you're right, the important thing is there, good writing (plus hot models)

I use to pick the options who makes me a ''working class hero'' (a rich one in this case), I wonder if in this game there is an extra-something in a path where you go the abuser/asshole MC way
I could try it and find out but I dislike abuse (unless the girl is into some bdsm shit) so nevermind I guess

Depends what you mean by "extra-something"? The MC's internal monologue is different on that path, and the interactions with the various characters, of course, including the erotic scenes. It'll definitely result in different endings eventually. Is that what you mean?

Just a lil' something for fun.

Nice dude, that's such a great render! Is Viola russian, though? Or ukrainian? I thought she was the latter this whole time? Or do you purposefully leave it kinda fuzzy and let the player decide? It's not important to me btw, not trying to make this political or anything, just curious!

My MC isn't in jail. It was a tough call because I would have stood up for Gabby but I know better than to put my hand on a cop. Ideally I would have just said "Hi, I'm very wealthy, white and my expensive lawyer is going to be here in about two minutes, so I'm advising my very good friend here not to say anything until then."

If you know the variables on the code (ch.10 ending soiler)... you should know that getting locked in triggers the mystery solved variable

It's fairly obvious though that that particular game sub-plot is written primarily to fit a white guy who doesn't know better, and especially with that freshly developed muscle memory to react to the gesture. In other words, that's likely to be the better developed route, with the alternative just causing you miss out on some stuff that you get otherwise (not unlike picking whether to get on a RO route or opt out)

I just checked with the Mod gallery and it is just what you just said, different interactions and probably a jail ending for the MC (he deserves tho, by the quick look I gave to the scenes in ''asshole path'' MC is basically a rapist)

No, I was wondering if there is different girls in that path, but no, there is nothing I enjoy there at all, so Working Class Hero it is

makes sense I guess, I'm half a planet away from the u.s. but being pale makes me invisible to cops
(MC is white AND rich so he probably can set the police office on fire and walk out free, as usual in most countries )

Could be but he wasn’t always rich so he should know better - anyway, not taking that path. I’m not on Gabby’s path anyway- just bailing out her mom’s bookshop and helping with her dad’s legal bills. If she’s mad at me for not also assaulting a cop for her, that’s her decision

Damn Neon you are going to freeze her.

Don't really need to look for variables. The game literally shows that.

It's not even being rich. There's plenty of regular white guys who will never think that a cop is someone who'd beat them up at faintest opportunity, because they never had that experience.

or real passive people like myself that would be scared to step out of line just a little bit even if they know what they are doing is wrong.

He has Crimson Lawyer working for him, he won't stay there THAT long!

C.Lawyer wins!!

Any insight on when we're gonna be able to go on a date with Carolina? also great game so far!

Thanks for playing! Glad you're enjoying it!

As for the Carolina date, I'm planning to get to it this year. The schedule is a little loosy-goosey for the moment, but the next couple chapters will take a bit of a break from some of the more big-picture plot stuff, and refocus on the smaller, slice-of-life plots.

• Chapter 1 Remake: Redoing the first chapter. Mostly just Nicki stuff, but also making the world feel a little bigger, earlier on.
• Chapter 11: Cassie, Ashe, Viola, and Risa all have some moments, but most of the sexy content is based around Gabby.
• Chapter 12: A shorter chapter, focusing on the player sitting in on Brittani's second audition, and the results thereof.

After that, it's a little up in the air. I could make Carolina's date its own, smaller update (since not everyone is going to be on that path) or do what I did for Ashe, and contrive a way for Carolina and the player to have a platonic 'date' alongside their regular date, so people wouldn't feel like they were missing any content. I need to get a little closer to that update, before I make too many plans, though.

I've mentioned this before, but for FiN I basically have major plot points for the love interests, and for the MC/Guy. I don't always know exactly when I'll get to them, though. Usually, I'm just writing a scene and kinda playing with the characters, when I realize: Oh shit, this would be a perfect time to do Plot Point X, or set up Plot Point Y. So, I'm on the lookout for the best way to dovetail Carolina's date into the storyline. But, if I can't find a clean way to do it, I think a little 600-700 render date episode will be the way to go.

Nice dude, that's such a great render! Is Viola russian, though? Or ukrainian? I thought she was the latter this whole time? Or do you purposefully leave it kinda fuzzy and let the player decide? It's not important to me btw, not trying to make this political or anything, just curious!

Thanks, man! I did these because I wanted to experiment with importing Blender assets into Daz, and then things kinda spiraled.. As for Viola, she's Russian. She mentions her aunt lives in Kyiv in her introduction, which threw a lot of people off. But, that was just meant to illustrate the point that Ukraine and Russia has a lot of families with members on either side of the border.

Honestly I'm a huge fan of slice of life stuff in these games. The calmer the better for me personally so these dates are sounding better each time I hear them.

Okay, thanks for the reply!

Yeah, me too. Just people doing their normal day to day stuff, connecting and strengthening their relationships and friendships.
I enjoy simple scenes like the MC and the LI sitting on the couch reading or watching TV, with him absently playing with her hair or rubbing her feet (which ever part she has decided needs his attention). They're great for relaxed conversations too, giving some extra depth to the characters.
