In addition, there's some new text-...

Dev Update 11/21/22

Hey friends, how's everyone doing this week?

I'm currently in the middle of Brittani's big scene. It's a big one! Lots of potential dialogue/image combinations relying on the player's alignment, as well as their relationship with Gabby. And of course there's how you want to treat Brittani during the photoshoot - will you genuinely try to help her kickstart her career, or are you just doing it to see how far you can push her? Then there's the matter of her meddlesome boyfriend Jamie to contend with..

Currently, I've got 6...

Wanton Weekends - Nicki's LonelyFans!

Hey folks! Remember how Nicki briefly tried her hand at being a lewd model on LonelyFans? Well, a patron suggested that I make some renders to show what that might have looked like. Who knows? Maybe these photos will find their way into the game.

Oh, and while I'm at it? Here's a little sneak peek of Gabby from Chapter Four.

Enjoy, and have a greak weekend!

Dev Update 11/13/22

Hey, friends! How's everyone feeling this fine Monday? I'm personally feeling pretty energized. Life drew me to Chicago early last week, and I stayed there for two nights and three days. Caught up with a friend I haven't seen in years, drank too much, ate too much, and tried to navigate some profoundly hostile traffic. Still -- fun little trip! I'll have to visit again, soon. But, the entire time I was there, Friends in Need was gnawing at the back of my brain.

So as soon as I got home, I chained myself to my PC and got to work. To tha...

Dev Update 11/7/22

Hey, friends! Hope everyone's week is off to a good start. First off, I hope everyone enjoyed the updated Halloween Special.

But now, Chapter Four's back in full swing! I've completed Pepper's introduction/reintroduction scene, and I think people will get a kick out of her. In a cast comprised of troubled-but-goodhearted girls, I think she'll prove to be one of the hardest to love. She's.. prickly.

I've talked intermittently ab...

Friends in Need: Halloween Special (v0.34)

Hey, friends! Here's an UPDATED version of the Halloween Special. It includes new renders and dialogues during guy's 'research,' as well as a new ending. It also includes a new scene in Chapter Two, albeit a very quick one.

Wanton Weekends! 11/5/22

Hey, folks! Here's a little taste of some of the NSFW fun coming your way in Chapter Four. As always, if you'd rather not see spoilers for the next chapter, don't look at the attachments below! 

I'll be back later today to share an updated version of the Halloween Special, with extra content.

Until then, take care, and have a great day!

Dev Update 11/1/22

Hey, hey folks!

I've gotten some rest since yesterday, and I'm back to work on the game this morning. Currently I'm working on queuing renders for Chapter Four, as well as setting up Ashe's big date in the script. But, since I don't have much of anything interesting to share as far as current renders (it's mostly just Guy/MC eating breakfast) I wanted to give you all a glimpse of what the Halloween Special almost was.

One idea would have seen the cast in a flashback set on Halloween the year prior. Nicki and Brent were s...

Friends in Need - A Halloween Treat! (v0.33)

Hey, friends! Happy Halloween! I promised you a little special Halloween content, and here it is! Fair warning, this isn't any kind of full update - it's maybe five minutes of content, and 50~ images. Just a little gift from me to you, bridging Chapters 3 and 4, while also offering a little naughty Halloween fun. In the spirit of the holidays, I'm not putting it behind a paywall.

Dev Update 10/24/22

Hey friends, how's everyone doing this week?

This isn't going to be a very exciting update, I'm afraid. Honestly I'm still just nose-to-the-grindstone, alternating between writing and rendering. Current render count is around 250, and I'd like to reach 400 by the end of the month. 

I've made substantial progress in bringing the script closer to completion, but I'm still not done with it. As the story gets more involved, it also means writing more variations for everyone, which can be a bit daunting at times. I was always pre...

Dev Update 10/17/22

Hey, hey friends! How's everyone doing this week? I've been feeling foggy and low-energy all week, and had written it off to a combination of allergies and mental fatigue. Then came a sore throat, congestion, and a cough. Turns out I had Covid. Again. Womp, womp. It didn't hit me too hard obviously, but it definitely slowed me down. Still, I've been steadily working, powered by cough syrup and coffee. Hopefully next chapter doesn't suddenly get weird.. :'D

Brittani's Outfit Poll: The 2022-10-17 19:06:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Poll: Brittani's Photoshoot!

Hey, folks! I'm back here to once again seek your opinion. As you might know, Brittani's due for a little photoshoot, and I want you to help me pick her outfits! In order to avoid prejudicing the vote, I've kept the same pose for each image. So, some stuff may look a little off, like her feet being in a high-heel position, despite wearing flats.

Please pick your three favorite options. The winning three will appear in Chapter Four!

Dev Update 10/10/22

Hey, hey! Hope this post finds you well! 

I've been keeping myself busy since last Monday, rendering images, tweaking the script, and making plans for more Patreon content. The patron-only NSFW Sneak Peek proved quite popular, so I'll definitely be doing that more. I'll try to keep it as a biweekly feature, dropping every other weekend. 

I'm also working on some special Halloween content, as you can see from the last few image...

NSFW Sneak-Peek!

Hey friends, I've completed the first scene of Chapter Four, which includes three distinct paths with Nicki - love, submission, and friendship. 100+ renders in total. So, I thought I'd show you how they're coming along!

I don't usually share renders from the sex scenes, since I like people to be able to go into those completely cold, without any idea of what's going to happen. But, I feel like it's the least I can do for everyone who's chosen to support this project.

Up top, you'll see a render from the "friendship" path, but bel...

Dev Update 10/3/22

Hey, friends! Hope everyone's doing well this week.

I had kind of a rough one, personally. The weather's getting colder, my aches and pains are worse, and my day job's been just brutal. But, work continues irrespective of my complaints!

I'm officially starting to render Chapter Four, having set up all the scenes I need for the first half of the chapter. Up top you can see the first few renders of the next installment, introducing a new love interest for Guy/MC. I wonder what she hears going on behind Nicki's door.. Proba...

Dev Update 9/26/22

Hey, friends! Hope everyone's week is off to a good start!

First off, let me say welcome to all the new patrons that joined up this month. I hope you folks decide to stick around for a while, following and shaping the development of Friends in Need. 

To that second point, following a poll (available to $5+ patrons) to determine the future of Gabby's hairstyle, I'm happy to announce that she'll be keeping her existing look a while longer. But, with a new color! Check her out up above, and let me know what you think! ...

Dev Update - 9/19/22

Hey, friends! Hope everyone's week is starting off right! With any luck, you've been able to play the recently released Friends in Need: Chapter 3. And if you're a $5+ member, be sure to go vote on Gabby's new hairdo for Chapter 4! 

Now, onto our regularly scheduled business. This'll be a pretty brief update this week, because in truth I don't ...

Dev Update 9/12/22

Hey, friends! Whoo! I took a much-needed day off from rendering after the release of the Beta on Friday, but now I'm back at it!

I'm chipping away at my to-do list for the public version of Chapter Three, with my current focus being on fixing old renders I wasn't happy with. I've learned a lot about working the camera and lighting in Daz, and I think it shows. Check out the new versions (red skirt) of Chapter Two's cliffhanger, compared to the old versions (green skirt). Like night and day! 

All in all, I've fixed over 20 re...

Dev Update 9/5/22

Hey, friends! Hope you're having a good week!

By now, all patron tiers have gotten access to some version of the Alpha for Chapter 3. The finished Beta will be available in the next few days, followed by the public release a short while after that. I intend to release the Beta with all images and choices fully implemented, though the animations may have to wait until the public release.

At present, I've completed 1200 images for Chapter Three, which finishes out the last scene of the game. But, I still need to complete t...

Dev Update 8/29/22

Hey friends, I've been so busy that I almost forgot to post the weekly update! As a result, I'm doing this from my laptop that doesn't have any art on it, so pardon the lack of teaser art this week.

As of now, there are two versions of Friends in Need available to patrons: the Chapter Three Alpha (for $15+ patrons) and the Chapter Three Teaser (for $5+ patrons).

The Teaser has a couple of complete scenes with Nicki, including a spicy scene. It's basically complete, aside from the animations I plan to add, and a few fixes I need t...

Dev Update 8/22/22

Hey friends, hope everyone's well!

Obviously I fell short of my goal to get the game out by the 19th. Nobody's more bummed about it than me. All I can say is that I'm working on this thing every day to bring it to completion. I'm over 800 renders now, with a couple scenes left to go. Which is kind of nuts, since I had every intention of making this installment smaller than Chapter Two.

I'd thought about putting out an early alpha, with only the first couple of scenes, as I did with Chapter Two. But, at this point I'm close enough...

Dev Update 8/15/22

Hey friends, hope everyone's doing well.

Not much to report right now! I've got my nose to the grindstone, churning out renders as quickly as I can. Render count is somewhere around 650? So, we're getting there, slowly but surely.

My primary goal is to get Chapter Three out to every patron tier this month. With that in mind, here's the schedule I'm currently targeting:

• 8/19 - $15+
• 8/26 - $5+
• 8/31 - $2+
• 9/2 - Public

Now, I strive for transparency, so I'll be real with you - that's...

Dev Update 8/8/22

Hey friends, hope everyone's doing well!

First off, the results of the $5+ patron poll determining Brittani's outfit in Chapter Three has been decided, and you can see it in action in the images above. I plan to do more polls of that nature in the future, letting you guys shape some of the aesthetics of the game as it moves forward.

In FiN news, things remain much the same. I'm just grinding out renders every day, going as quickly as I can without sacrificing quality. I'm going to try out this 2022-08-08 17:04:50 +0000 UTC View Post

Oof, is it August already? Where does the time go?!

I'm still just rendering my little heart out for Chapter Three of FiN. Current render count is around 300~. I really planned to make this a more modest update, but it's currently on track to be at least as big as Chapter Two, and maybe bigger. Whoops!

I'm still refraining from putting out an official release date for Chapter Three until I've got most of the images in the can. But, I'd really love to have it out to $15+ patrons in the next two weeks. At this point it's all down ...

Dev Update 7/25/22

Hey friends, hope everyone's having a good one! This week's preview images feature a new Friend in Need. That means this chapter adds two new characters, one of which is romanceable immediately. Apparently I just love making work for myself!

Just an FYI: The Student Loan is now available for free to the public. It's been cool to see more people playing and enjoying it since it hit the $2 tier, and I'm excited for even more people to get access to it.

Second thing's second: The script for FiN Chapter 3 is done. Took me longer than I'd hoped, but it's finished and now I just need to get through the rendering portion of things. I'm still ai...
