VN Ren'Py Cheerleaders [v0.2] [Lounatick]

[Lounatick]

Yeah I get it, and as I edited my post, I realized that you backed off on it later on. I can see how you were using the tilt to emphasize the action of the cheerleading scenes. I like using tilt too, in fact I'm constantly reminding myself to add tilt and depth of field focus more. Your nice visual caught my eye, which is why I decided to download your game. I don't really have time to play others' games since making my own sadly, but I like to occasionally check out a new one for inspiration and ideas.

Yes, using tilt adds a great vibe to games when done well—it feels more professional and dynamic to me. Thanks for checking out my game; I’ll be sure to check out yours as well! Like you, I don’t have much free time except when the computer is rendering... which actually does give quite a bit of free time in the end!

What is the male prot. role? Bf? Male cheerleader?

There will not be any male cheerleader, only female. The male protagonists for whom you’ll be able to choose certain actions at specific points are for the most already present in the game: Zak, Tyler, Mathiew, Jamal, and others. However, the story doesn’t primarily focus on them.

I see lesbian is planned. Will we be able to play purely lesbian in this game?

No purely lesbian route, sorry.

Interesting premise depending on where it goes.

Congrats on initial release, some nice looking girls & renders! One thing: I'd ditch that Bensound 'Dreams' tune, as that's everywhere, and I reckon most avid AVN players are sick of it already (I know I am )

Thanks! I will try to find another one for the next release then, thank you for the feedback.
No issue with the other musics?

Promising.

The first game with more than three protagonists? Seems strange to me, but I think it works well because there won't be one protagonist who does everything .

"Female dom" refers to a cheerleader dominating another girl or dominating one of the boys?

thank you

not sure how to judge this game so far. mostly cause multiple protag games very rarely last. and now apparently we'll make choices for a good amount of character but no full on lesbian route? that alone makes it seem like our choices wont matter much since at some point we'll be forced to bang someone regardless of what we want the MC to do.

that being said a story about cheerleaders is surprisingly fresh but ima have to give this game a few updates before i try it.

Lounatick Congratulations on your game. Renders looks really beautiful. Is there any femdom currently in your game?

Yes, because we're talking about following a team here. If we were to focus only on Elena, for example, we would miss side stories that I think are important for the group's development. Of course, Elena is the most central member since she’s the captain and makes a lot of decisions, often manipulating people. But she's not the only one capable of or interested in doing so.

I envision this game with a more realistic approach: each person may choose their own path and influence one another at some point (with limitations of course). No one individual can decide everything for everyone, and I think that makes it more interesting. For example, at some point, I want a path where Zak manipulates some cheerleaders and others without Christelle's knowledge (man, that won’t end well!). And I don't necessarily want Elena to be directly involved in that.

Right, didn't know the multiple protagonist tag existed, I will modify this.
The idea is not having only one main protagonist. Of course Elena will be the most important protagonist as she will choose most of the path that will leads the other characters. But the idea is like you are playing a "fate chooser" and sometimes you will choose other female or male actions that will impact the others.

Ah I see, thanks for clarifying.

Personally I usually prefer having a single protagonist, makes everything feel a bit more personal and it's easier to form a "connection" to the character that way (for me at least). That said, if done right I don't mind making decisions for others as long as there is a defined main main character which seems to be the direction you're aiming for, so I'm looking forward to trying it out soon.

Best of luck!

As I said the game revolve around the cheerleaders team. So you can say the MC is the team in a way. There will be lesbian routes for sure but not all the girls will go full lesbian. Think of it as a community: you decide the fate of a community where a lots of things can happens.
Of course your choices will have an impact on:
- How well the cheerleading team performs in competitions: If you're too easy on them, you risk losing competitions; if you're too hard, you risk losing team members.
- Who ends up and fuck with whom (and the resulting relationships and dynamics).

Do you know why multiple protag games rarely last? Because for me I like having something different than others and having multiple protagonists gives more path/choices/diversity. Because I can't have one people fuck everyone else in the game (well, I could in a way, but that's not realistic. And I am trying to emphasis the realism into humans relationships here).

I understand, but I wanted to make a different approach than most of the games. You will decide of the team direction in a way more than anything else. But of course Elena will be the one to make lots of decisions.

Not implemented yet, but there will be of course! You already have a hint in the game if you let the team goes to the bar and have Christelle goes against ???.

 

[JenMistress]

Very nice Pilot, that's for sure. I decided to do 2 Paths of Saves on this one, with help from the Universal Walkthrough Mods. Top roll will be focused on Kindness Points, the Bottom Roll would be focused on Dictator Points, with Corruption Points going in whenever I can. Very interested in seeing where this goes. Thank you so very much for this game thus far!!!

Nice, looking forward to some awesome scenes .

 

[Lounatick]

It's got good models, currently it's very short. I like the aim it has in mind, but it really needs a lot more content to back it up. Hopefully the developer makes more and keeps going. I will say the tag "Male Protagonist" was misleading, I expected to have the choice to be either a male or female in the same role corrupting the girls, but no. You are forced to be the head cheerleader (female) and you have the option that affects "dictatorship" which is really the wrong term to use here. It should be between either assertive/dominant or submissive/unambitious. Calling it a dictatorship makes the person playing feel like the bad guy, but not in a sexy way, more in a dystopian hell-scape "it's all my fault" sort of way.

If I could actually change the gender of the character I'm going to play as and the wording for some things was changed it'd be better. Also an intro scene for each cheerleader so we get to know the team would help with making character's memorable.

Otherwise, good effort, nice models, good basis for the plot from what I've seen.

failureatheart first of all I would like to thank you for the review. And I would like to answer your feedbacks if you don't mind:
- Male protagonist mislead: as I said in a previous post the idea is not having only one main protagonist. Of course Elena will be the most important protagonist as she will choose most of the path that will leads the other characters. But the idea is like you are playing a "fate chooser" and sometimes you will choose other female or male actions that will impact the others. I added the multiple protagonists tag and asked to remove the male protagonist one for the time being, sorry for the misleading.
- Dictatorship: for the dictatorship word I agree, I will change this with "dominant/kindness". English is not my main language so I can miss some slight words intentions there, sorry for that.
- Changing gender: the main protagonist is the cheerleader team in a way, so there will be no choice of who you are. You will change characters depending on the flow/story and your previous choices. You could summarize this as having multiple female main protagonists, with male protagonists taking the lead at times as well.
- Intro scene for each cheerleader: that's a good idea. But there is also quite a lot of them, so I should find a way to keep it interesting and not adding too much stuff. I will think about it.
