Recommending Lesbian Protagonist Games List (My Version)

[Grandy_UiD]

Apparently a "lebsbian protagonist" tag will be coming "soon". That should be quite handy.

I hope so. I have a slight fear that it won't help us much depending on how it's used.

If it automatically excludes games with optional straight or futa scenes then the tag will be barren since it would only be used on games and VNs with 100% lesbian scenes for the protagonist. Calling games like that "rare" would be an understatement.

Ideally it will be able to be used as "optional", potentially alongside other protagonist tags, meaning we'll easily be able to find games where we have the choice to only see lesbian scenes. These games are where we find most of the content we like since games made specifically for us are so rare.

I share your concerns based on this little word - but on the other hand, I wouldn't really mind the tag being highly exclusive because it would save me from "surprise dick" that tends to find its way into """lesbian""" routes.
I assume the optional version is supposed to be bisexual protagonist, which would change absolutely nothing for us...

I'll just ask the team and keep you updated.

Surely it would be better for it to be only applied to the right games, even if that means there's very few using it, as that's the problem with the current lesbian tag, it's useless because of how widely used it is.

 

[CboyC95]

Exactly. My problem with the current 'lesbian' and 'gay' tags is they are too broad a definition for the games shown.

Maybe something like females only tag will do the work

 

[GreenDark]

The "lesbian protagonist" being usable as optional would be perfect if the new search allows us to choose if we want to include optional tags or not. This way we would be able to search for the rarest all-female paradises by keeping the search strict as well as games with all types of content but including a lesbian route by allowing optional tags. It would automatically be stricter than the useless "lesbian" tag even when allowed as optional.

Regardless of how the search system works we will always be at the mercy of how people choose to apply tags to their threads.
But surely, even in the worst case scenario the new tags will be an improvement over the current ones.

My device got to 192F while the "announcer" was still making weird poses so I didn't get to test. Probably futa-avoidable but definitely not lesbian.

I really miss LSB, though there's some art Tsurutaro Kamenoike left before they went AWOL and people with NScripter skills can easily pick it up where it was dropped.

Did you try this one : https://f95zone.to/threads/sb-catfight-v0-42e-donyan.160919/ ?

It's pretty new but it looks pretty close to what LSB was, even if the gameplay is still different.

Might need to wait for more content, but dev seems really active.

 

[sexieallie2001]

Well, I'm not a fan of the reboot myself. And the Free Pass thread isn't active anymore like it was before the reboot.

Not a new game, but if you haven't play Mythos yet, you should give it a try.
If you chose the female protagonist, it's a full lesbian route.
The game is great, focused on the story which is very good (the lewd scene are hot but more an "add on"), the girls are sexy and interesting, and all of that is packed with a good dose of humor.
And the thread remain me of the good old time on Free Pass. The dev Nine of Swords is very present, there is a good little community, I post silly things , and there even a fan art thread.

I will have to check that out! Thanks!! Hope you are doing well!

Followup to this:
I asked and essentially got told to fuck off to the public discussion thread
However, another dev chimed in to point me to this:

• There'll be a dedicated tab where users can suggest a tag. During that process you'll select the tag from the list, upon selection it'll show the definition, you'll then be able to say that its "optional/avoidable" and give your reasoning/explanation on why it should be added.

Which didn't really answer my question, but I guess we'll be able to filter for for optional tags then? Probably?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[doidera]

The big problem with this tag there, and my biggest doubts, which will leave her with the same problem as the current lesbian tag is: who will put her in the games?
Will you be the producer of the game? If he considers that his game, in which the protagonist takes a dick in just one scene, just sucks it a little, and the rest is all lesbian, then he puts the tag, but, for us, that would no longer be 100% lesbian and therefore the tag would be wrong? Who's to say "no, that tag shouldn't be here?" And based on that, what will be done?
Will it be moderation? will they have to play the whole game to know if the tag applies or not?
And about the tag update? I mean, a game in version 1.0 can be full lesbian, but then in version 3.0, does the protagonist get involved with guys? Will the tag be deleted? Will it be updated? Will continue there?
The game producer will put a tag like that and, with that, exclude an audience that could become a patreon... "ah.. look, give my game a chance... he only has one little dick at a time... come play, you'll see it's cool... he's almost all lesbian..."
What about current games? will they be updated? Who will do it?
And another, if an NPC, but who has a super important role in the plot to the point that the author considers her a "co-protagonist" has lesbian scenes, he will put the tag lesbian protag in his game, after all the lesbian is a protagonist of the game for her super important role. The definition of protagonist is what? Is it for player control or the importance of the character in the story?
If these issues are not resolved, the lesbian protag tag will end up the same as the current tag lesbian.

 

[lnomsim]

Exactly. My problem with the current 'lesbian' and 'gay' tags is they are too broad a definition for the games shown.

I think we would still be missing some games that way.
Bad Memories has a lesbian-only route.

But it's not a lesbian-only game.

I'm sure that applies to a lot of other games.

And what about the futa?

Would a game with 100% females and futa be considered a lesbian-only game? (for me: no)
And if the futa is avoidable?

 

[Gwedelino]

Funnily enough, my current project falls right into that trap.

I plan to have several pure yuri routes, but I would like to still add 1 "mixed route" with both straight and lesbian content.

Making this tag a "The protagonist is a female who ONLY engages in sexual content with other females characters" would exclude my project from it.

But Bad Memories' female protagonist is herself a lesbian. The only possible guy during your playthrough when you play as her is from the porn she watches. I guess I want the tag for the content you actually play.

If it works like females only, the answer is an objective no, even if the content is avoidable. As restrictive as it sounds, every single thing would have to strictly happen between biological females. If dialogue is also considered, this becomes even more restrictive as a lot of games have random horny dialogue involving males or dicks.

Hell, even MajiYuri has a "press here to ejaculate on the girls" big red button with the girls breaking the fourth wall because males need to self-insert to feel good... At least it's optional.

 

[The Celtic fan]

I would also say that bad memories would fit in that tag, after all the straight content is only possible if you play with a male prota, the female prota is 100% lesbian so it would simply be a mixture of the new tag with multiple protagonists.

on the other hand the game of Gwedelino would not fit in the tag because as they say the game has a non-lesbian route, so for that game would be with the "system" that is being used, in these cases it would be good that the dev uses the Developer Notes in the thread and say that the game has lesbian routes.

at least that's how I see it.

I actually asked about that in the new tag system thread, and a moderador told me that they're thinking about doing this:

https://f95zone.to/threads/new-tag-discussion.168425/post-11314070

"Lesbo/gay pc is exclusive, but we can probably add a slightly less definitive wording to account for small deviations, like single scenes with hetero content, flashbacks, etc. For optional paths, we will probably just add this tag under optional."

That sounds far better that completely strict tags. In your case, you could optionally tag your game with lesbian protagonist. It's not perfectly ideal when your game is actually mostly lesbian, and not just "a possible path", as if it had the same amount of homosexual and heterosexual content, but at least that people will be able to find the game when searching the lesbian protagonist tag.

"Lesbo/gay pc is exclusive, but we can probably add a slightly less definitive wording to account for small deviations, like single scenes with hetero content, flashbacks, etc. For optional paths, we will probably just add this tag under optional."

I really don't like the idea of the tag allowing deviations. The whole point of it is to be exclusive. I raised concerns earlier because I want to be able to find games with a 100% pure lesbian route while also having whatever other kind of content as long as none of it is unavoidable.
The mentioned example of "single scenes with hetero content" is already making me regret speaking up.

Ah damn, I misread the post... I thought that was under the assumption that the "single scenes with hetero content" would have to be optional. Which is decidedly not what redknight is saying there.
I guess the surprise dick won't be going anywhere. Yay.
