VN - Ren'Py - Westview Academy [v0.6.2] [Tako Yuh]

For v0.1.1

The story is kinda okay but the characters seem real interesting. Even with having some kinda generic characters their backstories make them more interesting. Also there is a good diversity in the looks and types of characters, not like in most other VNs where literally any character apart from the mc looks same just with superficial differences like hair change or size. The game has a lot of potential and could be a 4+ game in the future. The reason for three stars right now is that the dialogue is lacking a little it feels like the game is trying a little too hard to make it like you. The story pacing is also very weird a lot of times. Sometimes the dialogues get a little cringey. Also the animations/transitions (like the one introducing the dorm or the metro moving one) are real bad, feel unnecessary and just pull you out of the game. But for all its dents and kinks, it is an okay game, will be looking forward to future updates.

Giving it a 5 star considering its future potential. This is a demo version not that much content. Not every girls is introduced in this demo. Some good things about the game are MC is not a big pervert looking to bang the girls. I'm into slowburn romance games seems like this games satisfy this. Animations in the game are good except the jalen's front flip in the metro. But it's ok because dev is not that experienced. Liked jalen's rap add it more in next updates too. Seems like jalen found his love of life. But she is not visualised in the game don't break his heart dev, feel free to give him a girlfriend and don't allow MC to steal/romance her because best bros don't do that

Overall it's a good start for now the game's rating is between 3 to 4 because this is basically a introduction. But game got potential looking forward to next updates

Edit: v0.4.1

I'm glad I gave it 5 star before. I'm loving the visuals and how story is going. Keep up the good work dev

Westview Academy [Demo] Review by Tauro Thurius

Here is my take on DEMO version 1.0:

[Reviewed: "Demo" v1.0 (sic, should be v0.1 or less)]
The demo here is quite short, with only one choice so far that changes the story, even if it's only in a minor way. The images are fine, and there's fairly frequent use of animations -- usually in scene transitions/intros.

There's a quick-time sequence that (at least I found) to be a bit too twitchy with its half-second window. (I found having a one-second timeout to be doable with it still being a reasonable challenge.)

There were two programming bugs I found in my play-through:

• A misspelled variable (Saint instead of saint)
• An unset variable (ch1_ClydeFight) if one chose to remain calm

There are no lewd scenes in the demo, nor are we even introduced to all the women in the game's title image. The text also (annoyingly to me) routinely fails to capitalize "I".

In my opinion, this game isn't really ready to be played, but it's not "that bad": I've rated it as average.
