VN Ren'Py Completed Follow the Leader [v1.0] [SuperWriter]

[Spatenklopper]

We'll see where the future takes us.

 

[Bedlamh]

Umm. Can someone explain?

EDIT: I don't know if this is the reason or not, but I had 4 rather than 4a. Works now.

Out of curiosity, SuperWriter, is there any particular reason you don't have a default name for the MC? Just curious, because if I just fail to add one, there is no name later (such as identifying yourself as talking).

I also noticed that, during update 2, there's a point where Nine kisses the MC if he lets her. If he accepts it, there's a mention (if you had the points previously) about Ten kissing the MC platonically the night before. However, the image shown is instead of the first time Nine kissed the MC, right after agreeing to take them with him in his escape. Given that it mentions Ten's kiss, I expected to see an image from that instead.

You're totally right. I went back to check and it is indeed supposed to be a flashback of Ten there, so I have corrected that for the next update.

There's not really a reason I didn't choose a default name for the MC, but I might now that you're pointing it out. It's actually the same way in Secret Summer.

Thanks for all the feedback, Cookie!

Yep, that bug was in .4, and it has been fixed for .4a. Thank you for playing.

It's actually better than my expectations were for it, and am definitely excited for more. A few spelling errors here and there, plus some scenes that are repeated that I feel could use just a different angled scene/or something similar, but overall a solid start and has potential to be really good IMO. Keep up the work, I definitely plan to return!

I like the game!!!

Hey, guys. Wanted to give you good and bad news on Follow the Leader.

This upcoming update features Eight and Ten, and you finally have some of your first sexual content with them.

And while I was completing the outline, I noticed there was just nowhere to fit Anoushka's story. She's originally a side character as you know, and the story just does not make sense and it changes too much with her added to the main cast.

So she will go back to being a side character.

The good news is she's perfect for another game I've had planned for a while called Protect the Legacy where you're a bodyguard for s crazy person, along with a few other beautiful bodyguards.

So, she'll be a main LI in that game. And I'm going to remove her sex scene in this game so she's not having sex with multiple protagonists.

Sorry about that, but this way you will see a whole lot of her in the future and the other game instead of just here and there in this game.

Do what you need to do. It's your story. So will she still be around as a side girl? Feel free to be as vague as required. Just knowing if she might appear again is enough, assuming that wouldn't compromise your plot.

I’m happy for you bro, you have my full support.

Yeah, she'll definitely play a big part in the final Arc of the game for you and the girls, so no worries. You will be seeing the crazy Russian Lady again

This is your story, your game, do what's best comfortable for you. But...

I'm disappointed to hear these changes. Both removing Anoushka as an additional main love interest and removing her sex scene from the game. Especially after the improvement of making it available for MC to have sex with her without the cost of losing relationship points & scenes with Nine. Then, after hearing multiple opinions, you decided to promote Anoushka as another main love interest. Not to be dramatic, but it's like giving someone a gift and then taking it all back later. Just to put her a future story project (with a different MC) that might not see the light of day as a published visual novel game.

I don't know the outline you have planned, but here's at least my two cents, idea/suggestion on this situation (Excuse me if you already thought about any of this):

• Keep Anoushka as a side character and still sex-able. Instead of integrating her in the current story events (escaping the city) after her payment scene. Have Anoushka reappear later in the story, let's say way after MC and the trio escaped the city and are living a more comfortable and stabilized life. MC & Anoushka meet again, either by coincidence or on purpose. For example, Anoushka has wide spread connections and businesses at this new place the MC and trio made as their home base and they meet again while both doing business (in MC's case earning more money) and go on from there with the rest for the story.
• For this future project of yours Protect the Legacy. Instead of putting Anoushka from Follow The Leader into new game. Simply create a new character that's very similar to Anoushka's character background (another Balalaika [Black Lagoon] inspired character), but give her a new name and new looks & features. Instead blonde hair give her black or red hair, different scars on different areas of her body (Scar around neck, X-shaped scar, claw scars, etc.). I see nothing wrong having two characters from two different stories that share the same/similar persona with their own twist.

Again, this is your story, your game. Not mine and just giving out ideas. Do what's best comfortable for you.

Thanks for your suggestions.

How you outline the story is different from the way I have it outlined. I can definitely have Anoushka remain a side character that you see two or three times, but I don't want to waste her like that.

She'll be there from the very start of the other game and you're actually working for her with other bodyguards that are female, and it just makes more sense.

She was a side character because she just was not important to the story originally besides the dark website job, and I just added her thinking I could expand her story because she's such a fun character ,but it just clashes with what I have already set up and I don't think it would be smart for me to change the entire story for a side character.

I have to stick to my vision like I do on all of my games. I hope you understand.

Hi SuperWriter !
In my opinion, No. 9 is a black girl with much too white skin. Could you darken that ?
Because I love black girls. The blacker the better.

Glad you like her! I do like her current skin tone, though, so I think it's fine as it currently is. Thank you for the suggestion anyway

For the record, I agree with you. I think she's great as-is.

 

[Spatenklopper]

I'm more than happy with nine's skin tone. The lighting is a big problem with really dark skin tones.
On many devices you can hardly see anything if the scenes are not playing in the blazing sun, since the brightness can only be adjusted to a very limited extent on notebooks or mobile devices.

And apart from that, I'm really into the latina or milk chocolate shade anyway

Not a fan of games sharing characters or being in the same universe. Why not just make complete new setting instead of having them in the same universe?

Just wanted to share my own opinion, but you do you.

All of my other games actually share characters from the same universe and there have been a few cameos already lol. I think it's really cool when you can share universes between games, so I do want to continue doing that.

Thank you for your suggestion!

None of my games have animation. To me, they are just a bonus. And they don't add much to the game if they are just "ok." But animations make up a very small part of the game, so I don't think you can judge a game based just off the animation.

For example, this game so far is about 1 hour and 30 minutes long, and has a sex scene. So, that animation would be about a few minutes. I think the most important part of a game are the story and renders that take up 99%.

Don't get me wrong, I will definitely consider animation in the future, but I don't just want to add bad ones just to have animation. It's going to take some learning and I don't want to take that time off right now while I am doing three games. Hope I explained myself well enough

 

[poarvl]

This game hase one of the stupidest and lames plot I've ever seen...
I know it's a fan made porn game and all that, but a "sheltered" janitor boy as a hero, really?
Leaving all his life as a low servant and knowing about open world from games and comics, he sets out on and "adventure" in an local underworld with 3 almost child-nive bombshells... What could possibly go wrong?

On the other hand, visuals are quite good, especially the girls. They look very attractive, and some of them even breathtaking. On that I want to defenetly complement the game developer, for putting so much work and heart in creating them. BUT. The thing I don't understand is why developer, with such obvious skill at rendering, hated his own MC so much? Because that the only reason that comes to mind, considering how lame and "pathetic" MC looks in comparison to others models...

 

[Canto Forte]

MC has help from the doctor - the keeper of all secrets.
Players of darksiders know too well what a keeper of secrets can do to unsuspecting hero types.
