It has a 15% launch discount for those interested!
In the meantime, I'm going to be working on a big patch to fix all the bugs, add Steam cards, emotes and backgrounds, and hopefully add Steam achievements too.
If the game sells really well, I'd also happily do an encore patch adding in extra content. There's a certain dragon girl that wasn't added for instance
Friendship with Benefits 2:
Has officially entered development! Many of you likely figured that out, but it feels good to confirm it. I've spoken about the preliminary plans a lot in my Discord, but let me go over it here:
A New World:
Without spoilers, things will be a little different in FwB 2! This new world will have a lot of secrets and surprises waiting for you.
The setting takes a more technologically advanced approach than the previous fantasy focused setting. How did we get here? That'd be a spoiler!
Character Colours:
As FwB 1 developed, characters sometimes changed designs, and mods were used to further change their colours schemes, so in FwB 2, I decided to let you customize character appearances between three base colour schemes that'll be reflected in their appearances and the cutscenes they appear in.
For Lily, she'll have her original FwB colour scheme, a colour scheme with purple/pink streaks in her hair, and a more MILFy pallette if you know what I mean. Some characters will get new accessorys or even canonically story differences depending on the skin you choose. I'm still deciding whether or not to make the MILF skins canonical MILFs.
Everyone may end up running their own unique sets of colours!
You'll also be able to customize their names, but the originals i.e. "Moxie", "Lily", will still be the default names and colour schemes.
A Straight Sequel:
While my recent titles have dipped their toes into a variety of gameplay systems, the original FwB was a visual novel - so FwB 2 won't stray too far from that.
We'll still have a world map that gave you the flexibility to complete any route in any order. FwB 2 will stick to that core.
Development Order:
Development is going to parallel the original. I will start by releasing the Ruby, Honeycrisp and Lily routes, before moving onto the Butters, Riku and Cream routes - Then finally the princesses. There are also secondary characters such as Melody, Blossom and others to look forward to.
A likely but not-set-in-stone development roadmap:
0.1: Prologue, Ruby Route 1, Honeycrisp Route 1, Magic Route 1
0.2: Ruby Route 2, Honeycrisp Route 2, Magic Route 2
0.3. Forest Route 1, Forest Route 2
0.4. Bar Route 1, Bar Route 2
0.5. Bakery Route 1, Bakery Route 2
0.6. Castle Route 1, Castle Route 2
0.7. Big Finale? :O
0.8. Side Content Wrap-Up
0.9. Post-Game Content Wrap-Up
1.0 Game Complete!
