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

[Jarulf]

He's gotta meditate on who he's going to assault next

Not my Guy, he's a sweet cuddly (but dorky) lamb

 

[OneShotLarry]

Except Brittani's family is pour, since her mother's divorce.

"poor" not "pour

 

[Joshy92]

Don't worry I'll shower Isa and Britt with money and gifts as soon as we start dating

Then eventually it'll culminate in a beautiful wedding.

Hi there, what a fantastic game, I just have one question for now, is there a way to accept Ashe proposal when she ask to be fucked while wearing Cassie' swimsuit ? I've tries several thing, but none of them seem working… By the way I find the floral one sexier.

Hi there, what a fantastic game, I just have one question for now, is there a way to accept Ashe proposal when she ask to be fucked while wearing Cassie' swimsuit ? I've tries several thing, but none of them seem working… By the way I find the floral one sexier.

There is a way, but it's a bit involved.

1. Make sure you're using the pre-remake, v0.71 Subscribestar version of the game (Friends In Need), not the Patreon version (Friends Indeed)
2. Create a "patch.rpy" file and add it to the "Game" folder (the current patch.rpy file is for the new version of the game and I don't think it will work with v0.71). The file should contain the following text (the second and third lines are indented):
   label patch:
   $ patch = True
   return
3. Start a new game once you've installed the patch (the old version of FIN counterintuitively did not retroactively unlock the content in a game started before the patch was applied)

If you do all that you should have access to the full range of taboo options, including incest roleplay with Ashe. Bear in mind that some of those options have other in-game prerequisites, but I don't think Ashe's roleplay has any other requirements.

Alternatively, assuming you're using Friends In Need you should be able to use something like URM to change the patch variable from FALSE to TRUE within the game, which might be easier if you're comfortable using URM.

Now having said all that, it's worth noting that there's a newer, post-remake version of the game (v0.73) that updates the story a bit and overhauls the code. This new version has a slightly different patching process, but it hasn't reached Ashe's date yet so you'd have to wait for the full Season 1 remake to be released before any level of patching will let you play the scene in question.

I hope that helps.

"poor" not "pour

I'd complain about the pedantry, if I weren't the kind of person who is kinda mortified by my mistake.

I think I saw an earlier post that if you go into the existing “patchy.rpy” or whatever file in notepad and change the “False” to “True” and save it, it enables it.

That's the old patch. The new patch is empty, and works by simply by being present in the Game file.

Is there new content with this one?

Depends on what you last played. If you haven't played the new Chapter 1, then yes, there is a whole new Chapter 1, a major addition to Chapter 2, and some small additions to chapter 3.

Honestly, if you aren't paying for the $15 Subscribestar tier on this game, you are missing out. Excellent Discord community, and the Viola dark side scene in the August preview has a very real emotional impact. Wonderful stuff.

Hey, just an FYI: up in the comment box, if you click on insert > insert code, you can give them something exact to copy and paste and not have to worry about them having the correct formatting. Might have to choose 'python', but I think general code will work just fine.

 

[Wall Of Text]

Are we still on the remake? Wasn't the continuation of the story supposed to drop ... eventually?

 

[soprano31]

Are we still on the remake? Wasn't the continuation of the story supposed to drop ... eventually?

All of them.

And once I’ve remade all of them? I’m going to remake them again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

 

[Wall Of Text]

Sounds about right.

Thanks for the very detailed answer. I was hoping for an in-game solution, but it's still way better than nothing. I just need to find the 0.71 version of the game then.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Uhhhh but in all seriousness, I just dropped the newest build for the next chapter, which is 760+ renders. I'm trying to get the total build in around 1200 renders. Goal for this month is to get everything finished and have an alpha out, with all the previous stuff fully incorporated.

Sneak Peek of the Week! 9/5/25

Spoiler: Previews

Hey friends, hope you're all doing well this week!

I've been busy with the Season One material that still needed to be incorporated. Had to spend some time rendering some image fixes for a Viola scene, and then some more to fix a bunch of disappearing dinnerware, during Ashe's date. But, that's done and now I'm working on some other stuff in the following chapters.
I've also been working to address some of the feedback I received on the new teaser/demo build. I asked the folks who'd played it if there were any characters, subplots, or scenes they'd like to see addressed during the time-skip montage. That gave me a nice little group of suggestions to pick from -- two of which you'll see in the attached images. I also added some scenes for Dash and Indigo, our compensated companions. I'd always planned to have this scene in the final chapter, but I just ran out of time to render and implement it.
So, once I've got a few more little montage additions done, I'll be pushing out a new demo with some bug-fixes and additional scenes.
I'll leave you with your regular sneak peek at the script ahead! As always, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
----
"Still, there were only so many fictional worlds you could escape into before reality's walls started closing in, boredom gnawing at your sanity. That craving for something more exciting, and decidedly more carnal, had been building pressure for days. When Dash finally reached out, it felt like the universe was throwing you a lifeline. Who were you to argue with cosmic timing?
And Indigo? Where Dash brought a certain reckless, filthy passion to the table, Indigo was a consummate professional who had perfected her craft down to the smallest detail. The contrast was too sweet to resist.
So you suggested a little get-together. Dash was eager from the moment you mentioned it. Money's money, after all. But Indigo could afford to be a little more choosy, and required more delicate negotiation. In the end, some sweet words and a generous bonus still secured her services for the evening. You played the gracious host, making proper introductions over wine and carefully arranged charcuterie, savoring the anticipation. After weeks of isolation, you'd forgotten how much you missed real conversation.. And you had purchased their entire night. Why rush things?
But the moment cash changed hands, the atmosphere shifted entirely. They transformed into competitors, each vying for prime real estate in your lap, hands and mouths becoming weapons in the war for your attention. You rewarded their efforts with tips, watching foreplay evolve into a contest that you were all too happy to judge."

I tried PM’ing you but it seems your PMs are closed, so: I’d appreciate it if you’d stop posting these in full, hours after I post them on my paid platforms.

What's so bad about sharing info and some renders or wallpapers? I can understand devs trying to keep game updates behind paywalls for some time but not when it's some development info or images.
Careful Neon or you will end in the Dark Side like DrPinkcuck

I think it is the authors choice what to share and when. Also it is an incentiv for people to subscribe if that is right or wrong, profitable or not is not for us to choose and I think we all should just accept that when asked not to leak thing here right away to maybe not do that.
