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

[I am Gone]

SuperWriter doesn't come on here anymore because of the negativity he's received here. To ask him a question, you'll need to visit his Discord.

Yea, He's gone from his threads but still gets important stuff like bugs and shit from here from people like me so he's not all the way gone just personally.

I would give this a 5* review, if I hadn't done that already some updates ago. Still so good, I was so glad when I saw it was an upgrade of this. I have a back log of a week just now, that's why I saw it today.

From what I played of this game so far, it has promise, added to watchlist.

Hi um this is my first time playing this game. I hope it’s good and I was wondering y’all have any advice to people who started playing

 

[Caeir]

I'd suggest making saves at option points and exploring all the possibilities. I do it to see what reactions they have and what possible scenes I'd miss if I went another route...

Then I simply recommend playing this with the walkthrough mod.
Superwriter's games don't vary on the different paths to be explored.
If you don't score enough points on a path, a scene is simply locked.

I haven't played all of his games, but this one is at least considerably different from Picture Perfect and Secret Summer in one regard: if you score positive points with one LI, it's possible to also score negative points with another. Trying to get a harem is a little more involved in this game than it would be in one of those others I mentioned. But the locking of scenes is definitely a good way of gauging whether you've made enough "wrong" choices or not.

That's right, but Superwriters games are (fortunately) not rocket science.
I looked around the script a bit and if you balance it halfway you can still see all the content in one playthrough, if you want.

That’s one reason I use URM mode and edit the values for everyone much higher than normal so that small negative choices don’t affect anything.

Well, I am slightly annoyed I know it's already been said but why even give us a character (one I really like) just to take them away as a romance option. I know there were comments about a possible solo game for that character but still, I am not a fan of this decision and just wondering what else later down the road would be taken out that doesn't "fit in". it was a decision that was made originally when you (Who is not even looking at their replies for feedback) made it while making the game. I get that it is his game and people who pick it up for the first time won't know what I am talking about unless they go back for an earlier version but even then instead of deleting the whole scene could have just been a one-shot thing. Again I know this has already been said and the creator responded to the earlier comments from when he was on just wanted to put in my own input.

I really like Anoushka too, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her in another game later on. My personal perspective on it, however, is that this is a game in development. While many creators have everything written either ahead of time or at least very early on, a lot only have more of an outline so they know what's going to happen, not necessarily the appearance of specific side characters let alone their length of stay or specific interactions with the MC.

I understand feeling disappointed that she's not going to continue in Follow the Leader, but IMO having a lot more of her in another game would be preferable anyway. I really like her character, so I would absolutely love a lot more time with her, especially if we can get more backstory on all the crap she went through in her past that got her to where she is now. I don't mean that I would love to see her get brutalized, raped, or any of that shit. I just mean that I am very intrigued and honestly quite taken with her character as a whole. I would love to learn more about her in a game more focused on her.

So, for my part, I am just trying hard to be patient about it and hopefully will enjoy another game with some kind of more rewarding, in-depth involvement with her.

From the Developer himself

These games are in development, so the story is actively being created. I outline my games as much as I can, but it's very, very difficult to stick to what you planned at the beginning. Sometimes things just don't fit.

Ask any developer or creator, and they will tell you the changes they have had to make whether big or small. Follow the Leader wasn't even supposed to be a science fiction game, but it turned out that way.

Anoushka was originally a side character that you're only going to see once or twice. Then I saw how much everyone liked her and decided to add her as a main love interest, but when I went to add more of her story to the original, it messed everything up.

But like I said before, I plan for you to know much more about her character, backstory and everything else in another game. I thought that would be a much better option if you truly liked her character, so I don't understand the annoyance. Instead of 10 or 20 minutes with Anoushka, you will get hours.

And giving a game in development a two-star rating for story changes when it's is a bit unfair, I think. Some people wait until the game is complete for exactly that reason. But thanks for your feedback.

Yep, which is exactly why I try always to keep in mind that the stories for most games are still developing, evolving. If something has to be changed, it's to be expected. It can really suck for the creator, too. I have gotten to within the last 50 pages (or thereabouts) in a novel only to find a serious flaw and . . . had to start the entire damn thing over again. I had everything carefully plotted out, I had events and pacing mapped meticulously, and somehow what I thought was a tiny detail ended up forcing an entire rewrite. (Well, I exaggerate; not everything had to be rewritten, but there was an awful lot of reviewing line by line to find places where I had to make edits/additions/deletions so I corrected my oversight.) It's never fun, but it has to be done sometimes.

So I'm a few minutes into the title & am disappointed at their names not starting 1 digit lower, we're going to miss out on some Prime " because 7 ate 9" jokes ! >;D

 

[Blackheartz_]

is there a name save option?

AFAIK, there is not. But it's been forever since I played, so I can't remember for certain. SuperWriter isn't on F95 anymore, but you can join his Discord (link on the OP) and ask there if you want.

 

[ChaosGhost]

i really like the story so far ,and i hope u make eventually a gallery/scene replay possible
i admit i played with walktroughmod i like my game wholesome and dont like to miss harem LI or any bad events happen to my LI

i hope u keep up the good work and we see soon a new update

 

[Kukipett]

I just started but i'm a bit disapointed by the plot, well, clones who are raised in a few month in a tank and they have a personality as if they had lived a real life during 20-30 years ?!! It doesn't make sense, but anyway it's just a porn game i guess i will try to forget about this clone shit!!
I' have a problem, i think to much with my brain, i should try to think with my dick instead!

I mean I like her character but I'm not that crazy about her to the point where it jeopardizes the original plot, I could do without her.
