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

[NewTricks]

so much this I actually got mad I had to have sex with her. Not because I didn't want to but because I wouldn't want to have it as a condition for giving her money it feels shitty to someone Guy considers as a friend.

About the money I think Neon said awhile he is around the 8 - 30 mil range as he wanted to make him rich but not so rich that he has fuck you money and can go spend it like crazy.

As far as Guy's finances, assuming the high-end figure for principal and a (measly) 15% rate of return/profit on his investments and businesses his income alone is 4 and a half million bucks a year. If he is donating the lion's share of that income to charity he probably has enormous tax advantages, especially if he incorporated because the US is allergic to taxing corporations. His charitable funds are probably held in a trust and don't even count against him in any given fiscal quarter for tax purposes. In point of fact, he may even qualify for grants from the government and donations from other wealthy individuals to supplement the cash flow of the trust. Rich people never pay for anything in this country. Given how modestly he lives (by rich folk standards) I doubt he hits the pillow at night worrying if he can afford the foundation.

He really doesn't need anything overly profitable (for tax reasons if nothing elose)....just not a huge loss.

It was what...17mill iirc he cashed out with (or was it 27...I can't remember)? There will be tax gains to pay on that....but even with that...he bought his apartment and drives an average but nice new car...he not flash at all and he bought a few investment properties (which if IIRC...some are commercial he gets paid rent on).

Plenty left over....just one million in the S&P will return him 100k a year, less income tax (if he takes it as income and not accumulation). His only bills are utilities etc...so he owns everything he has, he has no debt...a 100k a year income and still has a good 8 million left over.

He really doesn't need to do anything.

At the very least he owns the Cafe, him and Nikki, visit several times. Also the shifty manager (blanking on his name) and Pepper work.

Any chance of the update dude?

 

[Joshy92]

Guy has more restraint with money than me that's for sure

Any chance of the update dude?

I'm also keeping an eye on it, my guess. It's a lot more work than I think, he has a life and is just doing it on the side so guess I will have to wait or learn myself how to create something like a gallery mod.

 

[asahibito]

Just tried it. The mod doesn't seem to do anything ... as far as I can tell. The choices pop up as normal with no notes.

Assuming you already tried pressing the "G" key to bring up the guide, this issue has happened to few folks on my other walkthrough mods. It is really puzzling as I am unable to replicate it. My first thought is may be you are trying to use with an existing playthrough. It may not work in some instances due to some of the renpy tricks I had to use. So try starting a new game and see if works.

If it persists, provide a screenshot feedback. Also click on the word "tag" at bottom left corner of the guide. It should copy to the clipboard some text. Please also provide that text.

Created a walkthrough mod for the game since I found the pdf walkthrough lacking detail. This was a big project with about 500 choice menus but the power of osananajimi compels me . I think there are too many choices especially in the sex scenes that do not have meaningful outcomes. Hope folks find this useful and please let me know if I missed anything. The mod also has save naming functionality.

I think it was 27 mil. It's a number that popped in my head and wasn't sure about but if someone else is saying it then that at least makes two of us.

Cheers Sop!

So yeah...28 million...after taxes...bought an apartment, few other 'properties'..new car...misc toys...he should still have a good 15 million left. As I said...1 million alone in the S&P gives him a nice income when you have no debts, no rent/mortgage etc etc...

He be doing just fine. Should also not forgot income vs wealth. Wealth is not taxed...income is. so for his businesses that he owns...you really don't want them turning over a good profit.

Well ... 28 million before taxes, and wealth isn't taxed directly but he'd still pay property taxes on the house and 1 mn in the S&P isn't going to generate that much. If you invest in safe things - banks, insurance, REITs etc you could probably count on 40 to 60k / year. You could get more than that, but only if you invest in more speculative things and take a risk of losing money. But even that money is still taxed as capital gains. Having said all of that, it doesn't really matter because if Neon wants him to keep being wealthy, he will and if the story requires him to be poor again at the end, then he'll be poor. It's not like this is a management game and we're investing his money for him.

 

[Flowing Thought]

He actually bought bunch of NVDA before the AI boom and now is richer than god.

 

[KhaiFirst]

So you're saying Diddy isn't the MC. Good - haven't played this one yet and that would be an awful thing.

Wow Guy can hire a 28-million-dollar escort what a lucky dude.

He was also smart enough to not try his luck a second time on this scheme and instead put his money on safer places, so i would bet that his fortune should be getting higher.

Also is this a chapter 1 render? I can barely recognize Guy.

 

[soprano31]

yeah,right at the beginning of ch.1

You know, I didn't pay too much attention to it and at first I figured it was just typical poor dude's buzz cut vs rich guy actually taking the time to get a good clipping, but the face does look different, especially the nose Wonder if Neon altered the model or just decided on a different one entirely?

I don't think Neon did the rendering for the first chapter so maybe that's why Guy looks different?

Well he is currently reworking chapter 1 - in part to fix some early renders. As for the hair, there is a point after Nikki comes back when she compliments his hair and he says that now that he's rich he can afford to hire someone instead of doing it himself.
