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

[ename144]

Changing the topic.. If I did some more in-game short stories (ala the Brent update) who would you like to see get the focus of one?

I definitely have plans for:

• Nicki's time in Florida, and her disastrous 'modeling' shoot.
• Ashe's attempt at modeling, and her dad's reaction.
• Viola being pressured by her landlord.
• Pepper's early camgirl streams.
• A special event with MC interacting with Bonnie, Ashe's mom.
• A special event with MC visiting Brittani at Chesty Cheetahs.

Any other corners of FiN you'd like to see?

This probably won't come as a shock to anyone, but I doubt any of those options would interest me enough to play them. Maybe Pepper's scene would hook me (just to get a better read on her), but even in that case I'd much rather we get a chance to spend time with her as the MC *in game*. Other than that one, I think these would be adding unnecessary details to background setups that would be better kept short and sweet. Focus on the future, not the past and all that.

IMHO, obviously.

I also don't understand what a "special event with the MC" means. If we're playing as the MC, isn't it just a (presumably small) standalone update? If it's some sort of kinetic scene or "what if" scenario, well, that seems like an idea ripe for disappointment and flamewars.

I think we'll see Nicki be way more of a bro, than a green-eyed monster. But, I think a lot of that could vary based on who MC chose to romance.

Like, she may raise a brow at an age-gap relationship with Gabby, Viola, Pepper, etc. She'd probably be on-board with Carolina. I think she'd view relationships with Brittani or Risa as being symptomatic of a mid-life crisis, until she got to know them better. She'd likely be a bit wary of Ashe, at first blush. And then there's Alex.. >_>

But, I don't think it's binary. It's possible for Nicki to be happy for MC, while also being a little stung, or wondering what could have been. But, I think that if she hasn't been pursued by Romantic MC, she's likely still in that headspace from early on, where she can acknowledge she doesn't really need to be dating anyone at the moment.

That makes sense - and I'm not just saying that because Nicki would probably greenlight my preferred LI!

Oh another Carolina fan. We are rare breed.

Oh another Carolina fan. We are rare breed.

I always forget her name but not the character. I really like her but I feel like I want to wait for the date the MC convinced to go on before I judge her.

Hey, you know I am quick to judge also often right about it So I judged and decided, she'll be my wife and that rugrat will be my step-daughter. I kinda sense her ex will be dangerous but MC have enough money for an assassin.

Makes sense to have Nicki as a bro, especially on the not romanced path.
That said, since she said she was falling in love with MC all along, I think she should have a few moments of hurt seeing him with someone else ; even if ultimately she'll give her blessing (except for Alex and her cum-gutters).

THIS!

[Transendant_sama]

Hey guys, what's vanilla version.

 

[Varrock]

Hey guys, what's vanilla version.

Here's one that no one but me would give a shit about: the older lady that previously owned MC's studio. I'm still poking for a gilf scene someday haha.

No, but I really was curious when MC mentioned her in an earlier chapter. It sounded kinda sad when he mentioned her situation and I'm a sucker for sad little tales that get overlooked. I guess I like my nooks and crannies. Obviously, I don't expect this to ever get written lmfao, I just thought I'd leave a little nod to one of your insignificant background details that no one else noticed or cared about

I'm pretty sure anything else I could say someone will eventually bring up if they haven't already beaten me to it anyways. There's so many possibilities, really. Literally every character you've written has an interesting background or a possibility for one Off the top of my head, Carolina's & Gabby's would probably interest me the most.

 

[With The]

damn bro, you planning to much. the actual product still far from it. you need to focus first before keep adding something that can take your time to deliver the previous promise.

 

[soldano]

• Viola being pressured by her landlord.

Honestly, this seems to me the most interesting of those you propose.

I don't care about Ashe's mother. We know nothing about her and, at this point, she contributes nothing. Ashe's father's reaction when she tried modeling, same thing.

Britt we already know where she works. We already know that it is a humiliating job for her. Yes, it can contribute something to the story, but it really seems to me to repeat the scene we already had with her in the supermarket.

Nicki in Florida doesn't interest me. We already know what happened there.

Pepper is one of the characters that interests me the least. And we have already seen her playing camwhore.

On the other hand, Viola's scene does seem interesting to me. We have seen little of Viola, and I suspect that at some point we will have a good update about her. So delving a little deeper into her drama seems like a good idea to me. Also, the truth is that I have a fetish with landlords blackmailing tenants. So I'd like to see that scene, honestly.

By the way, as a scene I would like to see something of Carolina with her ex-husband to learn more about her. We really know very little about Carolina.

 

[hitman2511]

I vote for Britt.

 

[Machete]

Oh another Carolina fan. We are rare breed.

I like Carolina

 

[Joshy92]

I know Pepper doesn't like her cam career but if she did I would have bought her the best equipment possible so that she could squeeze as much money as possible out of those useless simps who don't stand a chance with a beautiful angel like her.

 

[Dessolos]

not gonna lie if there is a middle path or Dark path option for Pepper to keep her cam career in the future and not quit I might take that option as I do enjoy that part of her character. At least on most saves

The idea of MC and pepper doing a stream together and basically cuck all those simp viewers simultaneously is indeed intriguing.
But I guess this isn't your angle joshi

Give us the juice daddy.

I thought long and hard about these options and frankly, the first two would feel better as side stories that we can play from the main menu, at our leisure. I'm honestly not seeing a place where they wouldn't disrupt the narative (though, to give you credit, I'm sure you could make them fit in a way that I'm not seeing).

The ones with Viola and Pepper, I can see them as flashbacks, when the girls are talking to Guy about their past.

The special event with Ashe's mom, maybe a dream that the MC has, after going to bed for the night?

And the one with Brittani, maybe later down the plot, when they have a better (or worse) relationship?

Which of these I would like to see get the focus? Britt because I like her character and Ashe's mom because I'm a sucker for good looking milfs.

As for other corners of FiN, I definitely want to learn more about Carolina and Alex.
