VN - Ren'Py - Homelander [Ch.4 P2] [JabbonkGames]

i really liked this first part of the game. good graphics, good interactions between the characters, no precipitation in intrigue story development. you have not 1, but 2 chapters for the first release; lot more than most of early games have be able to test onF95. each chapter close with questions in suspension, give you the need to see the next update quickly ^^ i apreciate the start option for a full straigth women partners on side, or with some transgended on other side. a great game served with a good story.

Homelander [v0.02b] [JabbonkGames]

Pros

• First two chapters the story goes excellent but the 3rd chapter it’s not as good
• Option for straight simple / polyamorous sex relationship is interesting
• Reluctance in sexual approach with the adapted sisters/mother is partially success. In other way it could have been better.
• Excellent quality of image renders.
• Fairly good quality of animations
• Playability, performance and grammar are all just OK no issue

Hope for improvement in next version

Cons

• Lack of genuine or more of fictitious for sexuality especially with outside character
• Lack of seductiveness in sexual approach
• Lack of options for the players to decide and drive the story/game

This review is for v0.02b of the game and i will update my review in next updates. this is only and only my point of view and i may wrong in many of what i write in this review. my only intention is to help developer in making game much better than it is.

Game is pretty well, story is unique and the way it gose can be turn out very nice. their are some things i wish the developer execute them on the game:
1. More musics
well, i guess it is clear and their is no need for more explanation About it. the game lacks of music in most of the story.
2. Darker and more realistic Story
i get that, its a porn game, but this not mean that developer should not pay attention to other aspects of the game. mc had not very good and happy backstory and we could not really see any of it in mc and its just like that the events of his life actaully never happend. if game wants to follow a serious story, the game must be more serious, darker and realistic in many things. i dont say remove funy things of the game, but just all fun stuff is not really good.
3. MCs Face
Yea i know its to late for that, but i think game whould be better if we can actually see are MC in situations and events. like sex scenes can be much better. or we can really feel the emotions and tension between our mc and his potential lovers. overall, third person camera is better than first person in this kind of games.
4. it is a kinetic novel or players have really will of choice?
from start to chapter 2, i did not really see any major choices that i can get and it seems game just follow a liner story for now. it is not a bad thing but developer should made it clear for next upadtes. if game wants to be a kinetic novel, its better if we see the MCs face.

overall, the game is really good in other aspects like good world building so far, nice girls, nice mc, nice animations for first try, nice rendering and so on. i wish best for developer.

10/10
- Really hot sex
- Women are hot and there is a lot
- Good world building
-Good looking mc, big cock
It's the best game I played this year by far and maybe the best game I played here in f95zone and you should play it

Really good job for a VN that's there first work. Great models, and really good writing so far. The story really has me hooked as well. Hope there's a lot more on the way. As well as what projects to look forward to down the line

Loved the plot & writing, not to mention the renders! I also appreciate a game that isn't transphobic! Not many twists in the story yet, but the character progression is interesting enough to keep me hooked until future updates explore the mysteries.

A great entry in a 'happy harem' type game. MC is skilled at everything and nice to everyone. No, that's not realistic, but realism's not why I'm here! A great start with a bunch of well designed models and a story I didn't skip through. Well done!

Based on v0.02b
---
PROS:
Ambitious. Great start.
Good fantasy plot. Nice renders, girls.
CONS:
Need more in game music and sounds, and it will be great.

Animations great, but i think its kinda need to be more long and various.
So, i think this game has a grate potential.

for early development, this game has my hopes up.
story is awesome, fun elements, characters have enough back story to invest in.
i do have to give props on the depth of lore sprinkled into the game. iit really is a nice touch that is likely avoidable if your not into it.
character models are just diverse enough to make the scenes unique in their own way.

This is a fantasy VN, which usually means several things: generic fantasy races, a meaningless plot, and characters so thinly written you can see daylight through them.

Homelander manages to avoid all these pitfalls.

There is, frankly, an absurd amount of lore already built into a game that's only on version 0.2b. The plot has obviously been carefully considered already; we aren't just rambling along, things are happening. There are a few moments of what I feared were generic fantasy, but having now finished this version I can confidently state that they're homages, not a lack of imagination.

Only one character thus-far is really developed, but she's very enjoyable and the dialogue is well-written (although not antiquated; everyone speaks in a modern idiom). Other characters seem to have the most important trait a character can have: hopes and dreams and troubles that don't revolve (solely) around the protagonist.

Speaking of which, the protagonist is massively overpowered (on purpose; it's tying in to the overarching story), but mostly just wants to be nice to people, which is a pleasant change from so many mind-raping, flesh-butchering superpowered protagonists in adult games.

The renders are decent enough. The gameplay is just a few choices while clicking through story, which is good. No bullshit grinding. But if you're still on the fence about playing it, let me give you a compelling reason to do so:

At one point, a woman gives the protagonist a blowjob. When he cums, it's too much for her to swallow and some jets out her nose. She then snorts it back in and swallows the whole load down. This is the power-move to end all power moves, and something that I have never seen a character do (which is a rare thing, these days). It was hilarious, and reason enough to give this game a shot.

All told, Homelander shows an incredible amount of promise, and has the all-important storytelling polish that makes me hopeful it'll continue to be excellent. I'm looking forward to more.

Normally a VN this early in I would only give 2 stars for the potential but this early on Dev has already earned a place in my top five...And only reason I am not rating it 5 star is because it is not complete

Story : Character/plot development is fluid and keeps you intrigued. The story is very well written, to the point that I'd wish to watch a anime or series that follows the same story even without the adult content (prob even read the book if it were to be published) for a plot/story to pull me in so early on I kinda of find myself saddened... not because I'm left let down by a story but because I find myself too impatient to wait.

Renders : Not the absolute best but they are stunning nonetheless

Overall : A game the so far tells a fantastical tale mixed with fantasy, mystery and intrigue, has potential to become an epic that other Jabbonk games will be compared to if not most other VN's. Really only thing a can complain about (except finding it so early on) is the hairless renders, I like hairy cookies but that's just my thing doesn't take anything away from the game

(I am not really good at writing reviews but felt I had to for this one, too many new games with potential inferior to this get abandoned and would hate to see Homelander go down that route)

This game is already off to an excellent start, and has the potential to be one of the best VNs on this site.

Most of my reviews tend to be quite critical, but I really don't have anything negative to say about this game. The renders are beautiful, the writing is very good (with only a handful of spelling errors and typos sprinkled in), and the story is engaging. This dev is better than most at writing dialogue that flows well and is quite natural.

It is clear the dev has spent a lot of time planning out his world building, and that a number of varied storylines are going to be opening up in the near future. The characters are attractive, varied, well-developed, and very likeable. There are only a few lewd scenes at this early juncture of the game, but they are all extremely well done, as this game has found the sweet spot between excessively slow-burning and jumping into sex scenes that are not built up by the story.

This is one game whose development I will be following closely.

A game of absolute perfection, excellent story with the dev giving it good lore and some of his time to make sense, gorgeous characters and renders, the sexual encounters so far are unbelievably hot and excellent writing.

keep up the good work jab you have a wonderful game .

So far i really like the game.

Nice writing with interessting Story.
Good renders and nice characters.

Reminds me a litte of WVM in the early stages with fantasy and magic.

for me it doesnt really makes sense for a prince to be in the royal guard, but details XD

Cant wait for the next update and looking forward to more events with Miranda.

Multiple options where to cum would be nice.

As a frequent gamer of games coming off of this website/forum i rarely ever comment about a game.
Most of the time because it is a common story, generic story progression and too linear of a story.

I feel obliged to comment about this game and hopefully attract an interest or two to actually playing this game.

Everything and i really mean E V E R Y T H I N G about the MC is over the top. the storyline is absolutely awesome and the women (and their progression) are sooooo cool! hilarios to say the least at almost everything too.

Needless to say that i am awaiting next updates with full anticipation.
for a first release with 2 chapters we are already spoiled in my opinion.

Purposefully i haven't read any comment before because peeps are mostly salty. This game really does not deserve that imho. Neither does the developer.

As i a European citizen getting a CC is pretty hard. (minimum income requirements are pretty steep) so i cannot do any monthly support to the awesome developer but please..

Keep up the good work!

it's a harem fantasy game with a decent MC, likeable love interests, a well thought story and a semi-original world-building... what's there more to want?
sex scenes come at just the right pace. did I mention there's a few virgins and muscly women? No? go play it asap

Really enjoyed the start of this game, The lore so amazingly in depth so far, the renders and animations lovely, Always love a nice harem game as well. Don't know why some people would say they love the game then give it a lower rating just to ruin a over all score. I also got feels from this game of a J.R.R Tolkien vibe which I do enjoy. Also hope we can romance some of the cents and minos as well just because a little fluffy loving in a game never hurt anyone, also hoping we get some short stacks loving too. Overall looking forward to more progress and will be becoming a patron from what I have seen so far

Thought I would give this VN a try and I am sure glad I did. Good scenes, great graphics, and awesome storyline. Now I am awaiting for the next chapter even though Chapters 1 and 2 came out yesterday.

V 0.02. Nice start! I am mostly interested in playability and how does the game hook me in. This really did, I played this through with in one session. Story is building nicely, characters are sexy, UI works, foundation for great game with variety of races. Hope next releases keeps the same level.
