Hi how do I know which versiong I have? I mean vanilla version and nonvanilla version. I want the nonvanilla ( Dont know how is it called )
Even for Chapter 11?
Dev did say allready but.
Basically the easy way is if your download is named "Friends in Need" Its the Subscribestar unsanitized version.
But if it named "Friends Indeed". it's the Patreon sanitized version.

Looks more like a prologue instead of a Chapter 1 remake. Love it though, we get more context on the lead up to the beginning of the main game. This a one off remake or all chapters gonna get a remake?

Oho and the idiots who can't read and don't know that the remake of the first chapter was announced months ago have arrived
Their concern is not completely unwarranted. A lot of us has lived through re-boots and remakes that either made the game worse or just lead straight to abandonments.

I do not follow this thread closely, and did not know about the announcement, but even if I knew, I would not be unconcerned about the remake.

We have seen this story before, and even though it is probably not going to happen here, I would personally sigh a breath of relief once the main story resumes.

A reboot/remake, even though the intention is good, is something that makes people jittery and impatient and the surrounding negativity could demotivate the developer and often leads to the game being abandoned.

Instances where I felt more at ease, were where completely new content gets rolled out, together with reworked earlier chapters.


TLDR Even though this is planned, it's still making me nervous.

FYI: The final version of the Friends in Need Chapter 1 remake is to all supporter tiers.
I have a question, brother. Can I play it now, or does this update only contain the rework of chapter 1

And do I have to wait for a rework of chapter 2, or can I play now

if you actually followed and support on patreon you'd know this was coming from a mile away, so you are a fucking liar to begin with. No need to get into the rest. I feel sorry for you.
He didn't even have to be on patreon, because it was also announced here many times

By the way from what I understand he doesn't say he supports the game on patreon just that he thought about it, so he is just a leech who is complaining about something he gets for free ;p

There won't be a rework of chapter 2, just adding variables probably. I doubt any meaningful content/extra scenes will be introduced.

Starting saves over might be a problem depending on how important the code work is, but I guess thats why he is releasing multiple chapters + new content with future releases, so you don't have to start again for each individual chapter.

So according to devs Patreon the 0.72 version and the remake of chapter 1 are going to be combined in the end.
What's the use for this then?

not a bad question. Wait until the new update. I've played it already. It is fucking awesome, and gives a lot more background. Worth it. Then play the og game.

Well said and is basically how I feel every time a game is remade or gets a remake. Yet as seen by many members based on the replies it's easier to be an asshole then try to understand that perspective. Man the replies ruin this forum every-time.

Now having said that I myself hope it doesn't slow down any more future development. That's all now from this lurker.
