General FYI: I uploaded a teaser for Chapter 1, tier-locked for $15 patrons. No ero content in this one, as it ends just as Nicki arrives to meet with our hero. Hoping to have the love path content complete by next weekend, though. Reactions have been good thus far. People have said, "this redux has really added a lot more life to the characters," and, "I didn't dislike the original Chapter 1, but I feel like this was a huge improvement."

My plan, as it stands right now, is have an edited version of Friends in Need on Steam, and then a patch on my website that can be downloaded and applied to restore all the content. From what I've seen, this is totally fine as long as I don't explicitly mention said patch on the Steam page. But, reviewers can do so, to direct people to where they need to be.
So that image's from when the protagonist got his place in Rhodenbarr Tower, sometime after he got his fortune (one that Carl Rhodenbarr aka Risa's father would later mention it was just luck, and not in a good tone).

Correct! This version plays out a little differently than it did originally, in that Guy has not fully moved into his new place, when he shows it to Nicki.

You have a website dude? or do you mean as a free patch on SS or something?

well, then my brother, I think when the love path is completed, I think it's time for me to stop saving it up

and finally start playing it again, and I'm excited

as someone who really loves this game, saving it up, it's really hard

because every time I read your comments, I really want to play it

In my signature I have the most barebones of a site, with some images from the game, and links to where you can find it. I need to put together an actual website (or more realistically, hire someone to do so) because right now my actual platforms tend to get drowned out in search results, by pirate spam. :'D

Damn I'm dumb, I can't believe I didn't notice that. Thanks man.

Sorry for the question, dudes. I've checked back some pages but i've been abroad for 2 weeks and i'm quite outdated. I see the Vesion 8 is on vanilla only. Are the patches updated or do we stick with vanilla for now? Thanks for your patience.

The most recent, up-to-date version is available , and it includes Chapters 1-10.

But, I released a Valentine's Day special which adds onto Spicy Sapphire's storyline, which . This is essentially a stand-alone update right now, but it'll be folded into the main game as an optional thing to view, similar to Brent's short story.

MC: My dudette, I do not even have a place to stay, let alone furniture. Just look at the nothingness in this place!
Would you be interested in a subscription to my online podcast? It gives you free access to my rambling Fridays and you can contribute to me finally getting a place I can call home.
Girl: Ugh ohhh ... I think I left the stove running or something. Catch you never, looser!
This version plays out a little differently than it did originally
We shall see how the tables will turn .. or outright jump out the window ... or something ...

I know the answer, but gotta ask. Will we be able to do things to/with that real estate agent in this/future chapters?

FYI: I posted a new What If photoset on all my usual platforms, with 16 titillating images. Asking the question: What If.. Gabby Had Been at the Bar Instead of Ashe?

In the future? Absolutely! But, only because we already know this character. You may even have a date lined out with her!
