I'm sorry to hear that mate. So, the thing with MAC is that it needs a special key that is very, very expensive for me to buy right now, and I can't test it without owning a MAC which, sadly, in my country is considered Elite hardware.
For now, only Windows and Linux are compatible, eventually I will be porting it to Android. iOS will not be supported for the exact same reason, and I'm so sorry. Apple is known to be very strict with how people develop stuff for their hardware, so it's a whole expensive, and difficult process for me, considering how much I make monthly for this game. But hey, maybe in the future once the project is at it's end or released on Steam I will be making enough money to buy apple hardware and fetch all the licences to port the games to their system too! But for now, that's impossible for me, so I hope you understand.
Thank you for your interest in my game, please keep following the project if possible! :)
Hey guys! I've played the latest update of this and I'm curious to know if there's a guide made for this? have I misunderstood that there are many branches where the story can go? is there any help to get, for example, the gallery to open all the pictures somehow?
Sorry for taking so long to answer: Each answer you give gives, or subtracts points from your affinity gauge. After the third day in-game, if you have enough affinity points, by answering the correct path, you can get into more interesting routes, one of them with Wagner can even lead you to a cutscene.
For guides though, that's a Patreon-only perk, every ten or so builds I update a chart for patrons to use. But there's no public chart made yet. Maybe, eventually, I'll make one for the public, but right now my focus is solely on my Patrons and Patreon content.
I can give you a tip though: Every time you answer something wrong, 90% of the time the character will have a bad reaction to what you said. That's not a rule, of course, but it is a design choice I made for the first days. :)
Ren'py was one of the choices but after seeing how big projects like Camp Buddy would start running on that platform I decided it would be way more difficult to optimize code and edit already existing scenes.
I created the whole visual novel code from scratch to work with Godot years ago.
Developing anything takes time and learning does it too. It took me an entire year before opening my Patreon, to take Godot, learn it, and create a system that would work as a Visual Novel. It has it's perks, but also has the downsides. One of them is that for me to port it to Android I need to manually recreate a lot of menus.
Either way, keep on studying, Godot is far easier than a lot of engines out there.
Same issue here. Install button on the itch desktop app doesn't work. There isn't an option to select a file to download and the error message "Cannot read property 'build' of undefined" is returned
I'm working on (slowly) an android Version. It will take along time since it's not what my current patrons want me to, and I'm not making a huge lot to hire someone to help me, so yeah. But eventually we'll have android builds too. I hope.
Sadly no. I'm still searching but so far any build I try to export for Mac OS just won't run on any MAC computer, so for now Mac is out of the question. I believe there are ways to emulate Windows on Mac, which would make it possible for you to run on your mac, but so far that's the only way. Sorry.
It felt different, but in a good way. Of course there were a solid amount of typos but that's a minor nitpick. Though I have played only Karnal's stuff as of now(because he's hot lol).
Thanks for your time playing the game. Every time I find some time I try my best to find every typo I did on the current builds, I also use Grammarly to help with those but sometimes it does more damage than help. Just yesterday I was compiling Wagner's first day as an ebook for Tier 4 patrons and I found lots of small typos I fixed on the first day so eventually they will be fixed! :D
Patrons also can send their own corrections in-game for me and I add their name on a revision team in the credits too, so if you're interested, consider supporting the project as a Tier 2+ on patreon! :D
No. To develop it to android I need to re-work the entire UI to work on a small screen. That would mean creating a different build of the game just for Android and so far the game is not making enough to justify an Android Build.
I use Godot, and most of the work to make a port is on me, not on the engine itself (like it is for Ren'py), so for now, no Android. Sorry.
Only Windows and Linux Operating System such as Ubuntu, Manjaro or Mint.
A/ you don't have to, the $15 you are seeing is optional and don't need to pay at all, all you have to do is press "no thanks, take me to download" then download the zip from what ever software you are using
Hi, I recently became a subscriber to your Patreon and download the newest release but everytime I get to the end of day five of wanger route the game crashes, it also crashed when I tried loading a old save file, I had to start a new game just to be able to load my old file without it crashing. Idk if this is just a me problem but thought I should say something
I did answer you there and I already checked the scene, and found it's not having any issues for me there. I also sent you a message explaining what could be, but I'm almost 100% sure it's a save-file issue. The version you guys can play here is 10-15 builds earlier than what we have on Patreon, and I did code new stuff in the game from that much time. I do recommend every time you grab a new build, to just start a whole new save. The Skip Dialog is a feature that saves constantly what dialogues you've read in each route you enter, so even if you start a new save, you just need to click skip and as long as the route still exists in the newer build, you will be able to skip the same number of dialogues you had before. So it's quick to get back to where you were.
Sorry for the delay. If anyone else is reading this message and having the same issue with any build, public or not, remember to always start a new save and see if the issue persists first.
Why do you make the public veraion 9 -> 10 versions BEHIND the paid version? This is the most drastic version difference between a paid and none paid visual novel I've ever seen
When you click on DOWNLOAD button, you can select your version. The last MAC working version was the 0.21. I'm really sorry for not being able to keep up with the MAC version.
My Mac states that the program is damaged, that I have to move it to trash, I need a little han in this. I love the VN and I do want it to move forward nice and smoothly.
Hello there. I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience. As much as I wanted to fix this issue, that's impossible given this version of the game is an older version, it's impossible for me to fix it. All I can suggest is for you to wait for the next build to be released which will be in December, or to become a patron and grab the latest build of the game if you want to support the project. I'm sorry again for the inconvenience.
For now, I am removing the 031 for MACs here and restoring the 023 instead because that version seems to be working. That's all I can do so far, I'm sorry. Again, I really am.
I‘m having an issue where I can‘t access the files to this game on my iPad, I currently can‘t access my pc so I‘m playing on a mobile device, is there a way so I can maybe access it anyway? I‘d like to check this out. (The picture below shows what happens after I decompress it, thanks in advance.)
Hm, I never owned an iPad so I have no idea if the system is the same as the macOS. However, since the iPad is a mobile device, big or not, made to work with a touchscreen, I doubt any of the versions would work on it. The only way as far as I'm aware would be for you to download the files for the PC version (windows), or the Mac Version (MacOS) and play them there since the game is not at all compatible with touch-screen devices.
It‘s not a problem, thanks a lot for trying to help though. I‘ve tried to download both windows and MacOs files but both result to the same result, but I‘m sure I‘ll find a way to access the files. I guess this game won‘t be released to iOS anytime soon, huh?
Sadly you're right. The game engine does support android at least but that means months of coding and testing to make sure touch commands works on it. And also recreating the entire UI to work on a tablet or phone screen. Right now the menus would be too small even if I make touch compatible.
Unless my patrons decide to ask for a android release I won't focus on that since I release updates monthly for them.
And about iOS I doubt it would happen even if I make the game compatible with Android since Godot so far does not support iOS. Sorry.
Hi again, I recently became a subscriber to your Patreon, but I'm still not able to download the latest build, could I ask you a few questions to clarify it?
Edit: I also posted this request under the Patreon post of the build, so feel free to respond to either of these inquiries whenever you can.
Hey there just to be sure you know I already answered you there. If you still need help just talk to me there and I'll do my best to support you. Thanks for becoming a patron and supporting the project!
It depends on the patrons actually. I could make the game run on Android, however that would take a lot of time out of the current focus of development, so far I work based on what my patrons want to be added to the game. It's not out of the question, but it's not something I plan in the meantime either. Sorry.
Hey two quick questions about the VN, the first one is if there will be NSFW content at any point in it? The second question I have is that should I become a tier 2 Patreon member, would I have access to the latest build of the game that is compatible with Windows?
First question: Yes, this game is meant for Adult Audiences there will have NSFW scenes eventually. Since artwork cost a lot of money it takes a while for me to get enough to pay for more art. There is some written content that is very much +18 already.
Second Question: Yes, you need to become a Tier2 patron to access the latest build. You can also suggest corrections with the latest build as long as you give your current Patron Name (username on Patreon) when sending the suggestion, accepted suggestions puts your name in a special list in the credits as one of the Revision team members. And every build on Patreon is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac. I can test the Linux and Windows versions, but I already had some Mac users there that assured me the MAC version works too.
On Patreon, you will have a new build every month, usually, the new builds come with new story segments or bug fixes, new features when they can be added, and so on.
And ah, your name will be permanently added to the credits once you become a Patron, even if you help the project for only one month, so remember that. If you want your name censored or removed from the credits you need to report that after you become a patron. :D
Anyway, I hope I have answered your questions properly if you have any more doubts don't hesitate to ask, I'll answer you as soon as I get the notification in my e-mail.

will this be coming to Mac? im in the telegram for this game and was really excited to try it out but then I realized its not compatible...

Did you use renpy tomake this?😅
Just Friends is powered by Godot 3.5.4.
Ren'py was one of the choices but after seeing how big projects like Camp Buddy would start running on that platform I decided it would be way more difficult to optimize code and edit already existing scenes.
I created the whole visual novel code from scratch to work with Godot years ago.
Thats freaking awsome though it would have been cool if you used renpy i could ive used and emulator but alll well 😂
im trying to learn godot my self from scratch but dam it's taking a long time. 😅
Developing anything takes time and learning does it too. It took me an entire year before opening my Patreon, to take Godot, learn it, and create a system that would work as a Visual Novel. It has it's perks, but also has the downsides. One of them is that for me to port it to Android I need to manually recreate a lot of menus.

I'll try thank you 😁
is there a steven universe reference or am i tweaking
I... Don't think so? I never put anything not even a single reference in-text to Steven Universe.
you gay ass faggot delete this rn its cancer and you KYS
preaach
Whats the hate for again..?
Install button does not work.
There's no install button.
it's two files: One .EXE and another .PCK
You need to extract both of them to the same folder and execute the ,exe file. I hope this helps.
??? Threw Itchio client
Same issue here. Install button on the itch desktop app doesn't work. There isn't an option to select a file to download and the error message "Cannot read property 'build' of undefined" is returned
Sorry for the huge delay.
Update: The issue was that I upload the files as labeled as executable, I changed their tags to "other" and this fixed the issue.
I was able to select the build and launch it. So I hope you guys can enjoy it now.
I want to play it so bad 🥲
I'm working on (slowly) an android Version. It will take along time since it's not what my current patrons want me to, and I'm not making a huge lot to hire someone to help me, so yeah. But eventually we'll have android builds too. I hope.

Q/ why is the game so dam expensive i am not going to pay 15$ un less the hole vn is done< not trying to be rude>

Please make this install threw the itchio launcher
Please? Having hard time keeping track of so many games. Cheers.
I really like that this is a human in a anthropomorphic world.
Can't change my name???
Whel, shit, forgot about this, going to try and give it another try. Cheers and happiness.
Hi Yekkusu, Will there be any public releases?
Which choises do i have to take for the best outcome with wagner
Is there a mobile version?
Would be nice to have the VN offered for android. I noticed others are wondering about this as well.
Any interest making a version for Android?
Why do you make the public veraion 9 -> 10 versions BEHIND the paid version? This is the most drastic version difference between a paid and none paid visual novel I've ever seen
Can't play it throught itch.io launcher atm. It writes me "cannot read property of 'build' undefined". Can you fix it?
downloaded the Mac version and got the message
“Just Friends” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.
To let you know please add platform tags so people on the itch.io launcher can download it without their browser
Well I did add the versions to the TAG section. If it's not working, give me a heads-up so I can check what I should do. Thank you for your feedback.
Sorry for the very late reply but yeah its not there
wait so where can I download the working mac version?
When you click on DOWNLOAD button, you can select your version. The last MAC working version was the 0.21. I'm really sorry for not being able to keep up with the MAC version.
How Can i play this in Android?
Sadly no. For now there are no plans for an Android release.
Can you please add platform tags so the people on the itch.io desktop launcher can easily download the VN
"Just Friends"
Recognizes Wagnermutt's art...
In all seriousness I am enjoying it so far. Great job both of you.
My Mac states that the program is damaged, that I have to move it to trash, I need a little han in this. I love the VN and I do want it to move forward nice and smoothly.
So yeah issue is that contents are damaged
