How will you help him navigate these difficult decisions? โฅ๏ธ

How will you help him clear his name and find the truth behind the accusations, while also getting to know him better and unraveling the mystery of his past? โฅ๏ธ
A lovely author has also reached out to me about an upcoming IF sheโs writing which is Formula One based, so keep an eye out for that if itโs your thing!
Other than that, I think we need a few more Sports IFs ๐ I vote Rugby (the Kiwi in me demands it) and Baseball (because I am a Daiya no Ace enjoyer).
Its always fun to play a sport slice of life like IF probably one of my fav genre lmao
Cant wait for ur demo ๐
Same! I really loved playing College Tennis by @allieebobo and it's my favorite sports IF ever.
I'm really exited to make sports/slice of life IF of my own and am very happy to know people are actually just as exited! lol (I was pretty surprised, I'm not gonna lie)

Slam Dunk is a Japanese sports manga and it's very well known actually, it's kinda of a classical in the genre. Pretty interesting storyline with good comedy. Anyway, I'm pretty interested in your IF, can't wait to play the demo!
I think I've seen this before but never read it myself. Might need to look into to it for some inspo or just for fun.
Is MC the same age as the ROs, or around the same age, or are they older? Mostly because, Iโve never played any sports, when I read manager I thought MC was older the same way like a Coach but Iโve never played sports before so idk if students can be managers or how old managers are
MC being a cheerleader would have been interesting to see ๐ค
To answer the first question, the mc would be a grade below the basketball team and a year younger than most. The mc is still a student, yes.
Also, a student can be a manager in a way. I'm not sure if every school does it like this but in our school a student is chosen to be the team's manager and they're basically in charge of keeping the team hydrated, making sure they show up for practice or jotting down who isn't present, making sure everything is on schedule and so on.
The Coach on the other hand would the teacher and he or she would be in charge of strategy, practice and all the normal stuff. The Coach is also in charge of the manager and will be expecting weekly check ups and so on.
I'll have one ready soon enough once I have all the RO's officially ready. I'm not sure if I should have a traditional character description or a pinterest board for each since I genuinely suck at character descriptions ๐
A question, cause this sounds really interesting so far, because there are only male ROs at the moment, would it be a chance to maybe switch one/or two of the genders of the ROs, to maybe have a female basketball player/s, only if it doesn't interfere with the story of course.
Excited for the future tho
I've been thinking about this for a while and it may interfere with the IF itself but it isn't really that much of a bother the more I think about it.
The basketball team would have to be a single gender team so it's like it's either all girls or all boys. But who's gonna imprison me if I make it a co-ed basketball team HUH? Jk but it's a little tricky here and there.
And yes. For now there's only male RO's but I have some female RO's on the way to even out the numbers.
