JL: Next Generation is a Ren'Py visual novel by Big T, using animated 3DCG scenes and a DC Universe setting. You play a male protagonist navigating superhero and supervillain cityscapes, making choices that affect relationships, plotlines, and whether you act as a hero or villain. The adventure blends drama, action, mystery, harem, and corruption themes, with dialogue, visuals, and soundtrack guiding the story.
The current v0.18 Public build, dated April 12, 2024, remains under development. It runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android in English and is uncensored. The latest update adds 587 frames, 22 new animations, and six story quests, reworks Batgirl's quest, improves an AI chat timeout, fixes missing frames on an NTR route with Alice, and addresses spelling, grammar, performance, and stability.

Performance & Stability
Overall performance optimizations.
There’s no longer a full ‘Go Back’ button. You can go back inside a scene, but once you enter a scene or make a choice, you can’t go back any further.
This is currently the best way to prevent crashes, bugs, and other issues.
If you need to go back past that point, the only option is to load a previous save.
