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

[NeonGhosts]

Definitely need more of Jun, might be one of my favorite Love Interests.

I was pleasantly surprised by the reactions to Jun. For a character who doesn't get a lot of screentime, she seemed to have an outsized reaction. We'll see her pop up here and there.

so maybe i am wrong but we should have the option to rape viola in ass as i remember when we go the washroom before that scene when we meet gabby we have the option to take lube and even when he takes it he dosent use on viola

Neon said he may add that in the future, but the changes in his rendering rig makes it impossible to easily create new renders which look right next to the old. It would likely mean re-rendering the whole scene, and while I would not mind seeing it, there are higher priorities at the moment.

 

[Lightaces]

Am I missing something or is the Taboo Patch just an empty file ?

Correct. It is the presence of the file which makes the change.

 

[Bmagada]

Jesus christ rework Nicki is so much hotter.

 

[Pixillin']

Correct. It is the presence of the file which makes the change.

Which is handy because if you ever need it you can make your own in a few seconds

 

[Lightaces]

I'm wondering if we're eventually going to get trans women content. Mason is a trans man, I'm sorta hoping that the lawyer Lane is a trans woman.

Neon has said no, as he is not interested in that kind of content, and the cast is big enough.

You can also use the old file, if you already have it. Very versatile solution.

 

[Lightaces]

Is there a reason this new version doesn't have the other chapters added in as well? I'm hoping we get some Cassie content soon

Because Neon has a day job. Buy the game on Steam, once it is out, and he can work on it full time. (Well, assuming enough people buy it!!!)

 

[Lightaces]

Trying out the remake with the "taboo" patch and correct me if I'm wrong but in the original you could choose Gabby's age, which doesn't seem to be the case in the remake, patch issue or dev choice?

Avoiding legal issues. Probably a wise choice, since he wants to get the game on Steam.

 

[Lightaces]

Why not finish the game and then do remasters? Almost everyone in the gaming industry does that. Why tinker with the game halfway through?
It's better to wait for the final product, because these are certainly not the last changes to the game. And the old version was more than satisfactory for me.

Because once he has Season 1 (up through Chapter 10) completed, he wants to do a Steam release, and would like for that release to have an opening chapter that will not scare away new players. The old Chapter 1 was not really his best foot forward.

So now even the subsribestar version needed to have the patch?

It always did. The Patreon version wasn't patchable.

It's also beautiful to see that you can choose how you want to continue with her on what basis,
(friendly,sexual,or romantic),
and the subsequent scenes with her alone or together with Callie.
really great to see,the different scenes and reactions !!

 

[Lightaces]

My saves are gone again, can someone leave a few saves so o don’t have to start this game from scratch again?

You want to play from the begining, as the first chapter is all new, and there is a new opening to chapter 2.

 

[The Anti]

Mc and Jun bug will be giving Callie a sibling if I have anything to say about it

 

[Lightaces]

Saves from previous version still working or not ??

No, but you want to replay the new content - it's much better than the old.

anything new or just more bait.

Quite a lot of new material, yes.

what are the differences between:

Chapter 1-7 Remake v0.73 (Subsribestar Version)
and
Chapter 1 Remake (Friends Indeed Patreon)

because I don't see any

Well, the Chapter 1 Remake is only chapter one, and because it is the Patreon version, it skips all of the content which is not allowed in the Patreon TOS. v0.73 is the most recent version of the game, and because it is the Subscribstar version can be patched for access to all content.

Do you mean this patch or that patch Taboo? Both are patch.rpy with 0B. Are they the same, or which one is correct?

Either will work - it's the presence of the file which patches the game.

The first one, that's what published would be counted as legally. And demos have nothing to do with it, they can be either paid or free, but they're just supposed to be a contained demonstration of what the full product might entail, they're not supposed to be things that get released over and over as if they were episodes.
I literally just gave you an example of one, G.R.R Martin's book series.

Tolkien rewrote the "Riddles in the Dark," chapter of the Hobbit 17 years after it's release so it would make more sense in the context of The Lord Of The Rings.

The world has changed. Independent game developers are crowd funding their projects - it makes it much easier for a small operation to exist, but it also means they don't have the ability to spend years refining their story, (like Tolkien did, taking 17 years writing LOTR). Get over yourself, dude. First drafts usually suck.

As for other characters like the Brazilian gatinha (her name wasn't revealed) and Indigo the agency girl, who knows if they'll cross paths again with the protagonist over the course of the story (Marina could also reappear). And some new stuff like Cassie appearing in that dream asking him if he missed her was an interesting addition. Same as Nicki's sad illusion appearing over at the beach where Marina and the protagonist had finished talking. Or the interactions between Carolina and Ashe and how their relationship evolved as time passed. The new content expanded nicely the story (and one can wonder what stuff might be added about other characters). Overall, very nice work Neon.

 

[Lightaces]

Hey guys,
In which folder i have to put the tabbo patch to activate dark path on this version 0.73 ?

The folder titled "game".

Old saves don't work I assume gotta restart the game?

Yes, but the new content is really good.

If I'm understanding this correctly, that would mean the Chapter 1-7 Remake v0.73 (Subsribestar Version) is the "desirable" version for the F95 community?

That is the version which will be compatable with new content in the future.

Considering how sanitized it is I doubt we'll get Cassie content ever.

What game are you playing? Because there is not a damn thing "sanitized" about any of the many rape scenes in this game. I enjoy a good CNC roleplay, and even I look at the Viola scene at go, "damn dude, that's rough!"

 

[Lightaces]

Neon is a good artist and writer. He has created some beautiful young women, with realistic personalities. Some people have allowed the line between fantasy and reality to blur a little too much, have decided those women are at least somewhat real, want to hurt them and think Neon is cock blocking them. Part of me wants him to put in a scene where you choose the "rape her" option and suddenly you're lying on the couch with an AI therapist asking about your childhood.

There used to be a game, Midlife Crissis, which was a basic family sex simulator, but written vastly better than most. And of course, all the daughters, and the wife, were fine with the MC fucking around with everyone. On the Discord, a bunch of us were encouraging the dev to go full Lolita with it, and make the MC an unreliable narrator, so when he got to the end the cops would come in and all the girls would be sobbing and thanking the cops for saving them from their monster father. It would have been a riot to see the reactions of all the non-paying folks lose their minds over the twist.

Sadly, the Dev has disappeared - from the look of things, he probably passed away. Still, it would have been a riot.

That would have been great. Sad to hear about the dev. One of the downsides to anonymity is that if someone disappears, you rarely know why.
