I’d argue that most authors (like wang lol) (why else would he be working in multiple projects?) have the luxury for both, it’s just that they usually cave into the demands of their tumblr and CoG audiences by adding romance options and poly routes for said romances that they wouldn’t have done without some sort of pressure from multiple or a single commentary
(an example of this is the dargon’s covenant, the author is now considering a poly routes after a certain commenter who is commenting quite a lot in the CoG thread there “suggested” it)

Yeah, but the fact that you turn into a giant fucking ash/lava serpent and fight a giant fucking demon spider machine and everyone just kinda goes "huh cool I guess" and carries on like it's nothing most of the time is pretty crazy. I feel like if you're going to take the gamble and give the MC a power that bullshit in potential power you'd better own up to that rather than just treating it like any other conditional, you know?
Should have probably had the serpent magic be less... that. Making you into what is basically a living nuke that could go off at any time it felt like and having everyone be so utterly chill with it just feels weird.

>I am 6ft2, workout at the gym, and have been told by numerous girls that I’m handsome. I have a good job as a regional manager, and make over six digits a year. So why is online dating so hard?

I’ll tell you why. Because my Pollard Score is 3.

Females want to breed with Ments who will give them psychic offspring. And its NOT THERE FAULT. Females are biographically programed to want to mate with someone who will give their children the best genes (its why you have so many who marry Good Providers, than cheat on them with their Alpha-type tennis instructors). Women always want to know my Pollard Score on the first date, and I can visibly see the disappointment in their eyes when I admit to not being a Ment.

It’s kind of messed me up. I’ve deleted all my dating apps and can’t find the energy to even try anymore. How can I get women to see ME instead getting hung up on my lack of telepathy? I get that they want their progeny to have the best genes available, but I’m still a great guy who has a lot to offer.

It's one of my biggest pet peeves in writing. I swear, writers who can't come up with a story in which the main character is inherently disadvantaged and stays that way (thus making overcoming the limitation meaningful) need to stay the fuck away from those premises, rather than flub it like an asshole by immediately backpedaling and giving them a power boost.
I guess it could be worse, since usually the power boost is straight to the top of the pecking order because "hurr durr how else could they matter", but still, distilled faggotry on display.

Well, if it's OCD then I share it to an extent. I think only Wayhaven gets a pass in my mind because it at no point pretends it's NOT just a dating sim in CYOA format - I mean shit, it even tells you as much directly - so being surrounded by hot vampire (wo)men at all times is par for the course. Most others at least claim to aspire to be something else, and yet still have you surrounded by people who are conveniently both the correct sex and (usually) conventionally attractive. And that's just weird, and weirder still depending on the exact setting/premise.

I felt compelled to wander into the bitter storm after seeing my lovely game's title screen. And I think you make a good point here, this is very good feedback. I am at the point of variable death, and not everything occurs to me while writing. Zthullu, unlike Behatland, is a place of magic, the residents are used to seeing odd things, especially those who spend time with the Nagarese. But seeing the rise of an ash serpent deserves more recognition. Eventually, you will see that the power is not what it appears- it is too good to be true... I appreciate the reasoned comment, mate. I need feedback like this as it is inconvenient to make minor changes once the game is released. Cheers.

Hey, no problem. pretty much the one big standout to me, when playing it. Well, I haven't checked all the available routes yet, but the ones I did didn't have a headscratcher like that.
And yeah, I did account for Zthullu being magic central. Even then I feel there's a big gap between... buildings kept together by magic and news portals, and the Abhidhar weirdness. Not in general usefulness and potential, since it's "just" overwhelming power, but certainly in immediate impact and potential danger.
>Eventually, you will see that the power is not what it appears- it is too good to be true
Yeah, I mean. Considering you have to either trust Zuan completely or be so power-hungry you don't give a fuck about the massive risks, and the shit certain characters say about the power, and what you can find out with a bit of snooping...
What I'm saying is that if anyone doesn't expect some issues later, they probably haven't been paying attention. I actually think that if "bro you might want to get suspicious about Zuan and him maybe spiritually fucking your lost (on this route) friend and maybe grooming her into your replacement" was telegraphed any harder at times, it'd be actively distracting

By the way, I really enjoy the snake magic initiation sequence, as I'm a sucker for going way too far in pursuit if power/knowledge (I mean shit, I did Mr. Eaten storyline in Fallen London, and that hammers you over the head with being entirely pointless at every step)... but I'd say it could use more spice in the consequences. For one, none of the other characters react to the MC being more fucked up every time they come out of the academy, even though you hang with them afterwards. I know stuff isn't a priority compared to new content, but as we're talking feedback...
Descriptions of the consequences are fine, but as you have basically no time for anything but the Academy-Rest cycle, you don't get to FEEL how fucked up you got. External input might help.

Another good idea, with noticing your afflictions from the academy, although folks could just put it down to Zthullu being too much for a newcomer like you. I'll leave this in my notes for a future pass, once I have the completed build done. A priority is to get the game finished now that I am in this deep- I am in the middle of the ocean and I can sink or keep swimming to the distant, but ever-nearing, shore. I think I can do it, and then I can go over everything and add some bells and whistles. But I must get it all out now, complete the journey (at least Book 1 at present) or it will drive me mad. Big thanks, mate, for reading my stuff and mulling it over. Hope you stick with the project.

I have a concluding point in book 1 that will feed nicely into the next book. Otherwise, we would be looking at a 3-million-word+ game, and there would be a risk that I would get caught up in the weeds and it would never be finished. It had to be done for the sake of sanity.

Focus only on book 1 for now, sequelbaiters (except orcbro) don't write fast enough to deliver. But yes, book 2 is intended to carry over your stats and hundreds of variables for continuity. If we ever get to book 3 you'd play as your grandchild and even that would import stuff from your saves before going to book 4 where it returns to the original MC. This is all hypothetical, assume I am a hack and focus on the book we have now, it's not intended to have many cliffhangers and should be a satisfying ending if WW3 kicks off or I finally have that sweet, sweet heart attack.

Alright, I just finished it. The author cut out some of the most boring scenes, including every flashback and PoV, which fits the medium better. Although the prologue is still long, it's more compact than before. The downside is that interactions with our based grandpa were gutted hard. Perhaps some of it will be in the prince's route in the future update.
For anyone who doesn't know, there are supposed to be 3 routes: princess assisting queen Adelina, prince joining grandpa, and squire fighting with king Uriel.
I don't know yet how the checks will be in the future chapters, in the prologue you could fuck up maybe twice and that was due to picking a wrong decision if you got wrong flags.
For now, there is a reputation shop that allows you to increase nearly every stat, including faction reputation, stats, education and personality scores. In the old version, we had to pick up two personality archetypes and stick to them, now we can choose any response we like and it increases the score, presumably it will play out in the future given we can tweak it with the reputation shop.
Also, what I like about KaE is that characters actually treat you like a prince unlike some of the other games (looking at you Rhivenia). To conclude, it's better than it was and the author can build on it more without rewriting it again. May he not fuck it up.

Yeah, it's got fuck all options until later chapters, but until then you're basically eating dick for specializing there. Hell, it's the only stat that I've seen that gives a negative result for having too high though, admittedly, if you go and outplay the Empress in NotChess knowing her incredibly fragile ego that's on you lmao.
Seems like the objectively correct option is Subterfuge with a side of Rhetoric, as NONE of the others even come close to those in usefulness. Which sure, you could argue that's just logical given the circumstances you find yourself in, but... having five stats, making three of them far less useful, failing to broadcast in any way what skill levels are actually useful AND making excess stat points in something a straight up waste (there's never any bonus for it, as the checks are always pass/fail) is some... questionable design.

The objectively best choice is all Warfare with just enough Rhetoric, because killing as many people as possible is incredibly based.

Having high Warfare at that point gives the same result. In general I agree with you about the issues with the stat system, especially the lack of clarity on what levels are actually useful, but I like that specific example. Even if the implementation could use work I like that the goal is having a high enough stat to play well but still lose, and using a stat that's too high can be detrimental.

I think the worst issue is that, really, having 4 in any given skill is enough in the vast majority of cases, with a few 5s here and there (usually for Warfare, later Subterfuge), and I think a few 6s for Subterfuge when you try to spin some serious bullshit later? Anyway, it doesn't even matter which skills, so long as you have any two at 4 you'll be golden, and you can easily get that. But it doesn't tell you that.

Agreed. I assume it's because the stat system was designed for the whole game and there's just not enough content to make use of higher stats for now, but it's silly that the game doesn't communicate to you at all that there's no point stacking a single stat higher than a given level. There are even achievements for getting a stat to 10 and unless it's been changed you can still level them further, for no benefit whatsoever.
I also found that I was so used to 4 being sufficient in 90% of cases that the couple of times there was a meaningful difference in having 5, it still wasn't communicated well unless you see the success.

>you're prompted to give a magical spear to a bro

>if you don't give it to him, you're later informed that he died
>if you do give it to him, you still end up having to fight an enemy that can only be harmed by said spear and as such you're just railroaded into dying.
>the only way to live through this without a spear is to have picked the right discipline at the start, which before that ended up being useful like a total of once (1)

Main issues seem to be related to lack of knowledge about how such bodies work and hormonal issues. If most doctors don't know what to do with you, they can't help you either - and the operations are surface-level usually, so it doesn't even fix the main issue.

Roadwarden was good. It has those comfy low level adventurer vibes. Every piece of gear you get and secret you unlock feels like a big bonus and not just another useless 'longsword +1'.

Very cozy to travel up a new road and barely making it to a safe place to rest before nightfall.
Good number of well defined characters and choices in how to tackle problems if you even want to tackle them at all.

Also, many cute waifu's and husbando's.

I really need to play the 3rd and 4th game. I've gone through the first couple twice now and really enjoy them but by the time I'm finished with the second game I start feeling pretty burnt out.

Witch path do you prefer in the first game, the one that takes you past/through the mine or the one where you come across the Witch in the forest? Pretty sure you can't go to both locations.

Also love hanging out with my retarded fairy bf.

His politics don't really wrangle the player at all. There's some pretty 'modern day' characters like the retarded kids in a poly from that one village but depending on the players actions all but one can get killed off and I'm pretty sure you can actually gloat about it to the survivor.

>>3790510
Between the two I played I preferred Part 1. Much like in Roadwarden it really captured that 'going on an adventure' vibe I love. Part 2 did continue this but exploring a large town/city isn't as cozy as romping around the countryside.

But to add to it, requiring obscure bullshit to succeed and fucking you over for making the wrong decision (that is presented as the right one) was not uncommon in gamebooks at the time, but Lone Wolf was usually better than that (whatever else can be said about its quality otherwise), so that and a few other instances really stick out, and that one in particular is THE point of mockery because it's so unbelievably stupid and unfair to the reader.

Your choices shape how your character deals with the drama. You can be a mopey, stressed out bitch that hates what is happening to him, you can be a psycho that thrives from conflict and enjoys being put into dangerous situations or you can be calm and stoic in face of danger.
>Can you actually make your character unique and powerful?
You definitely feel important and powerful since you're basically the most important person in the world. By book 3 you can become so strong you can delude yourself into thinking you're a literal god.

My favorite playthrough is as a kitsune with a single dad that romances Seraphina. You get a fuckload of unique content that feels really important to the overall plot that other type of characters don't get.

Combination of being too ambitious, underestimating the difficulty of properly designing actual mechanics and overestimating their own ability, you see it in beginner devs of all sorts. After all, everyone else who tried might have fucked it up, but surely I, an author who's played all of these games, know what I'm doing.
And once people have started a project they usually don't want to shift to another engine even if it would be more suitable for what they're doing because they would lose the work they've already done, so they end up just trying to stitch something together and overcomplicate things.

I hope cultivation anon adds more mechanics for players to get AP or reworks cycling in some way, since it becomes basically completely irrelevant at the point where we're at, when you have to spend the entirety of shards you got since chapter 3 to increase your AP by 1%.

I'm working on my own based original CYOA. The basic plot is you are one of the young heirs to the Kingdom of Europa but plotting and war tear things apart and you are thrust into leadership and must strive for the throne, enduring the trials of familial strife, war, and intrigue.

the plot is pretty basic anon, anything to set apart from other heir games with similar premises?
though if the heirs to the throne, say the crown prince and his or xirs sibling are all alive and actively plotting does sorta set it apart already, I guess

ehh not really, most of these games have all the heirs conveniently die off (bastard crown) or going into an entirely different direction now (kingdoms and empires)
so if xir’s game does have actual courtly espionage, forging alliances with courtiers to your advantage, and cuckholding, I could already see it being different from most

There are no barons. It's a mysterious CYOA monarchy where small-time nobility and poor knights don't exist. It's all flowers, pomp, handsome princes, seductive princesses. And they act like petty and greedy middle-class merchants or modern CEOs but with titles and more maids.

At this point might as well start to write your own stuff. Got to pre-plan it first, though - my first take crashed and burned in chapter 1 because I overestimated, overextended and had no clear overall plan. Just piled stuff after stuff that looked cool. Didn't work out. You need to crash and burn at least once.

what would be considered a good enough pre-plan?

World, plot progression, event list, character data and overall list of what you can possibly do and how it'll matter. That's how I am currently doing it. Must not get too ambitious, that's the biggest part.

I do enjoy it more than saturnine, but man… I get what the author is trying to do, like have edgy options, but when you select those one it makes you feel more like a cringe chud lord or an edgy redditor rather than someone genuinely evil and maniacal
