Just Friends - Visual Novel
Just Friends - PUBLIC build 0.42.0.0 released!
Just Friends build 0.42.0.0 is now available for free here on itch/io! :D
This build has a lot of improvements, and since it has four versions worth of updates I tried my best to condense them here in this neat little image, there's a lot of changes but now Changelogs is locked, only Patrons can see these. That's right, from build 0.42, every build selected to be a Public one is exported together with the Private build but with a few options disabled since those options are meant to be a Patreon-exclusive feature, but fear not! The game has no cuts, this version is the same 0.42 version my patrons got when it was released for them so you can enjoy the same game!
Just Friends is now entering a crucial part of its development, where all characters are added to the game, and all that is left is to keep with the story and add the rest of the backgrounds/artworks. However, art is costly, and right now the amount I make is barely enough for me to keep myself afloat. I AM working on other projects to make money but so far the game is the only constant source of income I have, so please if you can support me, consider joining on Patreon. It will help me a huge lot.
Share this with your friends, follow me on social media, consider entering the telegram channel, and all of that! The more people get aware of this game the better, to be sincere with all of you, if every single person of the 200 people following the project on Patreon + the 180+ people who are following my project on some less than-deserving websites (which I shall not mention it's name here but I AM WATCHING YOU), consider supporting me as a Tier 1 patron every month (It's only 3 bucks a month!) I would be able to even hire someone to help me finish this project faster, to buy the artwork that is remaining, hell I would be able to even pay for someone to create music and opening animations for the game! That would be so awesome! Right?!
So please, consider following me and supporting me whenever you can, ok? Remember, I create this visual novel alone, I am not a team, I am only one person, and different than some game devs I have no volunteers doing work for me for free while I make lots of money on patreon. (Yes I am talking about a certain Y. Dev, but I'm not here to make an entire crazy fandom come at me, right?).
Anyway, thank you all for your support, for your time, and for following me, and most of all: To read my rambling on and on here. Thank you all for everything really you guys are awesome!
And thanks to my patrons of November, here are the ones who supported me last month:
Again, it's because of these guys over there that I can keep on doing my work, and I can keep creating this awesome game I love so much. So thank you all!

You should probably link your patreon somewhere in this post. rn you gotta go back to the main page to find it, and that can mean people dont go through it, costing you some subscribers.
edit: :0 the download wont work! says "When queuing download: TypeError: Cannont read property "build" of undefined at file:///D:/itch/app-25.6.2/resources/app/dist/renderer/7.chunk.js:894:39" and then goes on for 9 more lines, mostly about the render.bundle
shame, really wanted to read it, guess I'll have to wait till july
> art is costly
Are you sure you are not being scammed? The game has only two (well, three now) sets of characters sprites and only 1 CGs. Other vns have much more robust and varied art (like Monster Village or Far Beyond the World) and devs behind them seem to get along just fine. I would hire another artist to make my money worth, if I were you.
The art alone from someone like Wagnermutt costs 150 minimum, not including background and everything, I only (and recently) started making 200, I'm already working with him on installments at times, plus at the end of the day I'm also handling coding and writing alone, and as you can imagine, I can't pay the bills and eat with 50 ~ 100 a moth, still here I am working on the project with all the love and passion I got and right there to answer everyone's questions about it whenever they need.
So I guess it's quite fair to compare popular VNs making 1k+ a month and me trying to work through mine with the little I got.
Monster village is made by two friends iirc, so there's no payment involved.
Install does not work????????????????
The game is Zipped. You need to unzip it.
install win-zip on your system and unpack it. Both files should be on the same folder.
Then run the .exe file.
Itchio client ???
