Is this game good? Anyone played it?

first for my twink bird cult MC and his cute grumpy boyfriend chris :3

Figured I’d ask here since there are some cultivation nerds that hang out here, has anyone tried cultivation spiral? Is it worth clicking through?

>>3787618
I've literally never heard of that and the only relevant google results are for a patreon page.

>>3787619
its a porn game with AI images

>>3787630
are gooners really subbing to a patreon that uses ai images of pron just because it’s a cultivation game? just lmao
further shows just how mexican and jeeted the cultivation fanbase is lol

Isn't Astoria sidelined now?

>>3787665
Last time I read it was a few weeks ago, maybe things have changed.

>>3787665
no?
just join the owl volery

Anyone tried the KaE rewrite? How is it compared to the previous draft? I don't really want to waste time on something that will never be finished.

>>3787670
You still don't get to do anything

>>3787670
Just wait for the next one bro. Third time's the charm.

What's the point of personality stats in CYOAs? I see them all the time and they almost never do anything.

>>3787679
Flavorslop.

>>3787610 (OP)
I played it for a bit but got bored and quit, same thing happened with the orc one for me. I feel like they might be better as proper videogames and not Choice games.

>>3787679
Depends on the game.

>>3787679
It's a litmus test. The more personality sliders, the bigger of a hack the author is.

>>3787679
Ideally they should be used to change MCs casual dialogue in a page.

>>3787610 (OP)
Isn't it yet another patreonbait like Throne of Ashes?

Aura Clash
Just 2 weeks away
Can you believe it?

>>3787712

Wake me up when someone actually makes cyoa I actually want to play. Until then I shall return to hibernation. Picrel very related.

Maybe they should consume actually good chuuni instead of the sloppiest of slop

Ourobouros comcept is the highest peak of chunni aesthethic. You simply have no taste, as a normalfag you are.

>>3787610 (OP)
The thread seems derailed so I'll ask, how is orcgod's second game? I've been waiting for release to purchase because he writes so fast that it's not much of an issue.

bastard of camelot got updated
see? the game isn’t dead, the author is just taking xer time with bug and grammar fixes, and adding content to previous chapters

>>3787959
It's massive improvement over his orckino imo. It's like an IF adaptation of Arcanum. It's more narrative based instead of sandbox life sim like Green Journey but it's far from railroaded, like literally because you could escape the prologue prison train lol.

sex with elves

>>3787679
ideally they should be different distinct personalities that alter your character's perception of the world with monologues and their own musings like in infinity, and affect how other characters perceive the MC. Most of the time though they do absolutely fucking nothing and don't matter in the slightest.

>Yokai?
>Female?

>>3787994
Is Fang getting her quest this update?

>>3787994

No, anon is a hack. We get Guiren's and maybe dessy's

>>3788107

Trust the plan the next update is conpanion content iirc, gotta look at the patreon but surely it wont take as long as the current one haha...

>talking about locked patreon content that hasn’t been even been written yet

now back to actual cyoa games, in unsupervised, how do you get the heist with telltale and clairevoyant?
I did the evil ending and the game ends there? was the update for the good endings only?

>>3788122
>5 more months just for the Fang and Angelo quests

The only way to save the IF genre is to perfect cloning technology and make 30 orcchads.

Next PoMA update when?

>>3788138
the excuse was that his co-author ghosted him and he had to write it all himself iirc. so heist in 2 more years

>>3788138
The heist will be included in Unsupervised II.

>>3788107
>maybe dessy's
The update is saved with best girl content. It won't happen LMFAO

>>3788136
How do people get baited into KaE? MC is too young for romance, so it lacks even the draw of Infamous.

>>3788207

Any schizo romance options besides Blair? Or do I have to write my own?

>>3788247
sorry, any FERTILE schizo romance options?

>>3788247
Isn't their schizo solely Patreon extras?

>>3788249
The one patreon thingie was just Ortega's PoV of the dinner meeting. They're exactly as much of a schizo in the actual game under the wraps what with literally having to visit a shrink and take meds and still cooking up an evil clone theory for a killer step on the spot and everything.

to be fair Oldschool CoG isn't known for being incredibly deep or well written. it was just "hey look at this you can make choices n shit!" as if it's name being choice of ____ didn't make it obvious

>V5 Salubri
their V5 bane makes them unplayable

>>3788580
It's WoD bro, everything is tranny. Becoming a vampire is tranny. The fact that you don't see that means you probably have some unexamined tranny tendencies.

>>3788563
I will continue snorting copium about it being Sabbat. Anarchs are cringe.

>>3788590
>implying Sabbat aren't

>>3788590
It doesnt matter what the modern WoD games will be about. It will always be cringe. Because the frenchise was hijacked by corpos and liberals. And we will never get the sort of edge kino where vampire and inquisiton and hunter squads duke it out in the night, fantastical beasts like dragons and kitsune ruling over chine and Japan, Baba Yaga being immort ruler of Russia, and corporations doing all kinds of unethical experiments and ruling over the entire countries.

>>3788595
WoDfags deluding themselves into believing their slop was ever not cringe incarnate is the funniest shit ever. The only reason you'd ever play was as a dating tool to pick up vapid goth girls.

Tremere is the most pathetic clan established by the most pathetic founder. Imagine being a mage and destroying your avatar just for Saulot to take over. Next time just brew yourself a potion of immortality you loser.

>>3788597
you're literally a glorified Tzimisce lineage sis...

>>3788602
If you genuinely do not realize just that WoD was a military-grade cringefest long before the supposed "hijack" you are too far gone. Dirty Secrets came out all the way back in 1994 and has been causing uncontrollable seethe over outing the whole thing as just X-men with fangs ever since.

>>3788614
>Next time just brew yourself a potion of immortality you loser.
The lore specifically states those stopped working

>>3788320
I did. It seems a fairly complete story.

>>3788637
>300k words
Literally prologue-tier.

>>3788602
why does anything to do with the tzimisce and/or trans trigger you so much?
you realize this is WoD..?

>>3788639
What's the obsession with million long words games?

>>3788665
Better chances of getting on Steam?

>>3788665
>>3788672
better chances of getting more attention bought/sales
people are turning off by 50-90k works because they’re too short, and I sort of agree
works if the game is like 9th grade detective, but if it’s something of a different genre like science fiction, it should be longer than 100k words

>>3788665
It vastly increases the chance that your choices matter. If it's 200k words then it's either very short or the same things happen regardless of what I do.

>>3788595
>Because the frenchise was hijacked by corpos and liberals.
To be fair WoD was always liberal

>>3788712
too be fair while it was always liberal, it was more in the way of counter culture
now it’s just your average, stale corporate slop that empty suits put out what they think appeals to the player base

>>3788717
And it didn't help how Paradox gutted White Wolf in 2018 after they use Chechen LGBT massacre as a settings. It show they don't have the guts to actually make a real counter culture stuffs and just make a safe edgy slop.

>>3788717
Are we gonna pretend that putting SJWs is there is somehow qualitatively different from making environmentalist schizos and postmo crackheads objectively correct?

>>3788639
But it didn't leave obvious open plots like the many sequelbaits out there

>Cyberpunkdreams
>Kill my 4 year char cause shit is boring and I want to try mutantshit
Yea I know the game shit. Anyway, is there a point to saving up "Following in another's footstep" for later or should I just burn thru it? do you keep the old value if you die as a new char?

>>3788717
I do agree that V5 sucks dick

>>3788722
I don't remember it having any particularly meaningful uses so I guess you can do whatever. Not entirely sure if it carries over as the only time I "died" was on the same character.

>>3788712
Liberals today would (and do) see a 1990 liberal and call them a nazi. Trump is further left than Bill Clinton on black crime, lowering taxes for the poor (doubled standard deduction), and gay rights.

>>3788737
unrelated but people using left vs right for social issues and not economic ones peeves me

>>3788739
I would have agreed 20 years ago but the Dempcrat Party swung into nothing but social issues since then so in the USA it really is a better identifier of the party differences today.

>>3788739
don't look up where the distinction originates from or you're gonna freak bro

>>3788741
not just the usa
you can let corporations do anything they want, give corporations billions in welfare, cut welfare for peasants and straight up kill the elderly and the disabled but as along as you support trannies and letting immigrants rape then you've got the majority of the left on your side everywhere in the west

>>3788769
I envy USA electoral collage. It distribute the voting powers of urbanites which tend to dominate in mostly urbanized western countries.

>>3788769
And conversely, a corpo can do all of that, but if they say gays are mentally ill then you've got the majority of the right on your side everywhere in the west

>>3788780
maybe we should stop supporting corporations just because they give us worthless platitudes that appeal to currently popular belief

Focus + Free Time. All other authors only have one.

>>3788904
>Nicky has 2 other wips
>CAnon has a wife and kids
Le sigh... if only orkbrah were a cultivation slop enthusiast...

>>3788904
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)

>>3788918
sloppunk >>> sloptivation

>>3788918
yeah orcbro has standards, cultivation slop is the lowest of the low

>>3788922
His NOT 40k grimsspacesloppa will feed these threads for years

I hate poly romances in IFs in general
it feels forced and unnatural, there’s no chemistry between the MC and the other partner, and the MC is usually the third wheel in a poly relationship

>>3788918
Speaking of, what's the pw to nicky's latest update?

>>3788985
pw?

>>3788944
I'm more annoyed that they very rarely allow you to go for mff when playing as a male mc.

>>3788988
Cant have our chuddies getting harem ideas now can we

>>3788988
don’t most of these games with poly romances have gender selectable romance options? couldn’t you just, make them all female, or your MC female if it comes to it?

>>3788898
AI.

>>3788898
500 words per day is the bare minimum

>>3788997
yeah. the only threesome off the top of my head that isn't gender selectable is rory and frankincense which would be mmf for a male servant, and ffm for a female. the one in wayhaven, pon para, and the plethora of gender selectable games have the option of mff

>>3788986
password

>>3788944
They never give you poly twins or poly twinks. Occasionally just a twink together with literally who thrown in for no reason, but mostly just two worst options mashed together.

>>3788918
My SoAAF MC is a snake cultivator for all intent and purpose.

>>3789012
twins would be too based for cog

>>3787823
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.

>>3789012
>>3789015
For what it's worth (literally nothing) you can bang the twins in Ironheart.

>>3789017
It's very on brand considering the sheer craziness of Green Journey but I agree the reaction just doesn't fit considering how magic is supposedly dying in the setting.

>>3789027
Yeah, that's just it. In other paths you have people occasionally quite impressed by you "merely" fucking around with probability on a local scale, but somehow in the Pirate path a ludicrous display of overwhelming power seems to barely phase a lot of them. Certainly no more than a mundane triumph through tactical brilliance and a lot of firepower or what have you, barring a few exceptions.
But yeah, I guess it is on brand, considering how weirdly independent on every level the different routes of Green Journey were. Bro just really wants to make several games at the exact same time.

How's Mind Blind, anyway?

>>3789051
>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.

>>3789005
The one from the game where you're a bodyguard of some royal siblings also doesn't allow mff. In the game about being a royal in some academy you can get mff, but one f is an asexual princess.

>>3789051
You can flirt with a terroist girl over the phone(for your cover, definitely.)with your childhood friend gf in the same room

>>3789064
Is it even close to finished?

Playing random shit on CoGDemos and man
Can't Save Your Love From Dying might just have the single most obnoxious opening I've ever read in a CYOA, even in COGs specifically.
I think I'd take the painfully boring stuff the usual can't-write-for-shit wannabe puts out over this... I don't even know what it's meant to be.

>>3789064
oh and the interesting (at least to me) premise of your mind being incredibly vulnerable in a world where everyone is a telepath gets dimished pretty hard by the fact that halfway through your brother's conscience hitches a ride in your head and bumps your telepath rating up to the average.

>>3789066
last I checked it left off on a route split on if you go double agent and join the terroists, escape with your bro or by yourself, or try to continue with your fake terroist cover

>>3789071
this was like a year ago by the way. Feels like mindblind should have come out a long time ago

>>3789070
>whole plot is you're a no-powers in power world
>immediately get powers
Every time. I don't think I appreciate about 1/2 of the Batman writers enough, this plague of writer cowardice is out of hand.

>>3789070
Normally I'd be bothered by a spoiler but I'm happy about this one, because it's an excellent reason to stay away.
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.

>>3789075
>>3789076
fucking remarkable how it keeps happening and people keep eating it up
what's even the point of the setup

>>3789084
i think its supposed to be something like a taste of normalcy because the brother is supposed to go back into his comatose body, and the MC will revert back to basic bitch telepath food but i don't really like it either, it feels like it was done to sidestep shit like the terrorists finding out the MC's a zero because the convienent brother possession smokescreens the score as higher than it actually is

>>3789064
>terrorist girl
>girl
you meant a handsome man right? :3

>>3789093
oh that reminds me that mindblind does that thing where a majority of the ROs are gender selectable but it doesn't tell you that and just makes them all opposite sex for straight and samesex for gay. Its one of those little things that I really don't like because often the ROs are the main cast so it feels weird to have every other named important character be a grill, or an absolute sausage fest. because of this I tend to pick the bi option because it balances the genders a bit. could just be my OCD

I'm not sure what I expected from Shattered Eagle, but it's not bad.
Although the map being just Real World But Down Syndrome cracked me the fuck up.
Educating your (future empress) daughter is pretty cute, but that's not really a testament to quality as much as the fact I'm more of a sucker for that kind of thing as I get older

>>3789101
yeah raising her in place of her absent parent's and ensuring she doesn't grow up to be a ruthless tyrant was neat. its bullshit that the magic voodoo witch coven some how know when your about to poison the queen and stop you when she dies off anyways like 2 chapters later

>>3789097
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.

Man I feel for Titus in that (real daughter) route though, bro is trying so hard and Julia just goes full bitch mode on him

>only tyrants need worry about tyrant killers... and you are no tyrant!

>>3789125
I might have felt sorry for Titus if he weren't so retarded but he's just too useless and amusing to be pitiable. I can understand why he is the way he is, since he was raised his whole life to be a failure, but it's still too funny.

He is still pretty based in that that on a route where you're Augusta's real father, despite the fact that he's spent over a decade seething at you for stealing his dream life you can convince him to change his mind and support you in a single conversation.

The main thing that stops me from enjoying choicescript cyoa is their inexplicable insistence on using percentile-based skills/relationships for checks
Of ALL the options for them, they somehow decided on the shittiest possible one aside from RNG

>>3789148
Night Road and Aura Clash avoid it

>>3789148
You mean the fairmath increases/decreases? Yeah, fuck that shit. Switching from flat numbers to that after the first game is the single thing I hate the most about the Infinity series.

>>3788665
better chance in choices mattering and player reactivity
also immersion

>>3789148
yeah, definitely. he who must not be named honeypot rant posted around a year ago about character relationships in cyoa and how shitty CoG ones are, and some ways he'd try to improve it. it was an interesting read if nothing else.

>Honeypot, whatever happened there.

So is the DLC for Nighroads worth it? I'm a sucker for Tremere.

Also do you start as a fledgling in any of the Vampire games?

>>3789267
No, plot-wise and flavour-wise Clans in Night Road only get a passing mention and mechanics-wise Disciplines are just an underwhelming variation of the usual
>I kill him with my heckin' fists
>I kill him with my heckin' mind
>I kill him with my heckin' tongue
stuff.

No.

Besides Tea and Scones which incoming release I should look out

>>3789270
>No.
Damn

>>3789227
>some ways he'd try to improve it
All of those amounting to
>we need MORE bloat
were a dead giveaway he won't ever deliver, and this place shall be forever SHAMED for ever taking a Demo: TBA tumblrina seriously.

>>3789018
And it seems to be the only game that gives you poly twins. Golden Rose is especially obnoxious in this regard - you can flirt with both twins, but the code automatically sets up either twin as the one you've flirted with the most as a LI and ignores the other.

>>3789267
You get Invidia as your sire, which was interesting enough, but you don't get much else outside of Thaumaturgy. I don't remember if you can kill her or not like you can Lumbago.

>>3789017
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.

>>3789312
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.

>>3789368
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.

>>3789421
>Book 1

>>3789429
OrcBro would finish a book before others finish three updates, sequeling is fine when he does it.

>>3789429
I know some people hate this. In my defence, I wanted 1 book only, but the game expanded beyond the initial scope. It will be 2 books now, I decided this a little while back. 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. I shall return to my cave and ignore the world for a while to finish my quest before the demons come.

>kitsune
>gigachad

>>3789497
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.

It is just something I was thinking about for last few months. Technically, I started writing opening scene in April, but then I wasn't satisfied and kept rethinking how I want things to go and what I want to acheive. I finalized the stats today. >>3789622
Yes, that was obviously one of my influences.

Breaks your heart it does.

>>3788136
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.

Are there any CYOA games where you get super-speed?

He's talking about the actual wargame Gilles and Wang wrote for, not Officer of the Fleet.

How can you people stand playing Choose Your Own Gender "RPGs"? It's pure tranny shit. Pick any one and start it up and it's like "choose your gender" as one of the first choices. Humans don't get to choose their own gender. One hour and I already feel my estrogen levels climbing. Even the so-called "based" games are infected with this, like the one with green asexual niggers. Orcs are supposed to have massive cocks for breeding human and elven women, not tranny shit.

>>3790137
It's no coincidence that trannies didn't exist before widespread internet pornography. Men need to lift weights, spend more time at the gym with eachother, stop fawning over "pretty girls" and anime shit.

>>3790190
Optimal debt-wise or character-wise? I think if you do SM instead of the second battle some characters that can survive die instead, no?

10 more days until two more weeks!

>>3790215
Both? It's the opposite. The only way all characters who could die at 2K survive is if you do SM instead and also they only way to save Khorobirit's wife. If you go to 2K the most optimal you can get is at least one of them having to die.

I wonder how soon they'll drag the authors of other gamebooks collections to write for their lines. Still no one from Love Island, The Arcana or Choices.

>>3790252
speaking of choices, are any apps similar that DON’T use aislop or use in-story/game to make “exclusive” choices?

>>3790267
I think older ones don't use AI - something like The Arcana, Originals (defunct), Romance Club, but all of them use freemium systems if they're free. The Arcana lets you buy entire books to skip the process of paying for them and waiting for keys, but the process is obnoxiously long - took me two months to buy out Julian's book, and you have to pay for endings too.

>>3790248
>dao ascension
>you're super op super special from birth
>this one too

>>3790272
*Storyscape, not Originals. Still defunct.

I think the best pick out of freemium mobile vns would probably be Romance Club. Haven't been caught using aisloppa yet, have free diamond choices weekends which somewhat curtails the obnoxious freemium, the hack is 39 rubles per month, diamonds and cups both (no such thing for Choices' keys), newer books have prettier sprites, some stories are actually decent. Nile was fun outside of how hard they pushed Amen.

Might need to play in Russian, though. I've heard translation sucks ass.

>>3790105
Yes, have you played wh40k?

>>3790009
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.

>>3790417

>not killing the princess just because she humiliated you at the banquet

For shame.
It's a good scene, too. If you apologise to her before killing her anyway it perfectly mirrors the banquet, it's kino.

>>3790442
Damn right "if". Considering the wild fucking takes and borderline schizo theories that pop up here about just about every writer, being skeptical until some proof is shown (like that) is always correct.

>>3790442
I don’t see how that’s grooming honestly

>>3790455
That's because you're not schizophrenic.

Speaking of Shattered Eagle, I can't think of ANY other CYOA that lets you straight up fake-flirt with people that don't match your sexuality just for the benefits, even those that let you be a manipulative cunt.

>>3790417
The objectively best choice is all Warfare with just enough Rhetoric, because killing as many people as possible is incredibly based.
>hell, it's the only stat that I've seen that gives a negative result for having too high
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 WILL roleplay as the wise old mentor who encourages clemency and forethought and you CANNOT stop me

>>3790455

>>3790417
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.

>>3790495
>I just wish the genre wasn't so saturated with slop.
Kinda an inevitable consequence of 95% of the output in it being written by amateurs of wildly varying skill levels, most of whom don't have the commitment to actually see the project through from start to finish.

I'd love to hear your thoughts anon. What didn't you like about the rest of them? I thought part 1 was pretty weak, and then my enjoyment rose through part 2 and peaked at part 3.

>>3790513
>Tunnel to Hammerdal
nice CYOA you got the bro

>>3790489
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.

>>3790526
It got revised. And what's more, the Project Aon version, effectively the definitive edition with the Dever's blessings, fixed that entirely.

Bladeweaver seems alright so far. Hope it moves a bit faster now that your character is actually learning the craft though.
And hope it doesn't die like literally every other twine project.

>>3790545
I don't really understand what point you're trying to make. If you think Lone Wolf sucks you can surely come up with something better than one passage being fucked.

>>3790558
Well that just begs the obvious question. Mega gay or rent free?

>>3790534
>And hope it doesn't die like literally every other twine project
while the author posts on tumblr(mostyl about updates about the story) rarely to they entertain gooners with their horny questions, what ifs between your character and other side characters, and very rarely do they insert their personal lives in their blog
so I have a bit of hope

>>3790582
You lost my actual point entirely in that you assumed the main issue is just that the fucking tunnel was originally rigged to kill you before finally getting "fixed" by fans decades later. Consider the following:
>you're prompted to give a magical spear to a bro
>said spear is something you'd only get if you picked the right (or rather, left) route previously in the book AND you have pointedly ignore the warnings you're given and plain common sense to actually get it
>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)
>picking this option still pranks you by stealing your money btw
>if you live through this, you're later informed that he still died lmao
As a CYOA game this is blatantly awful; as a plain game this is still awful; as a plain book this is still awful, with the plot being barely there and the writing being just barely serviceable. It's simply everything wrong with the old gamebooks combined in one heap. The only way I can imagine eating this up is if you're an autistic kid back in the late 20th century with absolutely nothing else to do, which obviously none of us are.

I tried to, but the chinese make everything so nationalistic. It's like Gate but on steroids. Those who say the Chinese are polite don't know shit about it.

hello hello. cybermerc anon here.

the gunfight scene is done. i seem to be having the same issue of late where im not satisfied with the prose and the scripting looks off and amateurish but it works. i also fleshed out the second chapter a bit.

one more push and then phase 2 will be done. i wont put the game out until phase 3 when there is an actual mission but i could upload it to dashington and post links around for feedback. the wip of a wip.

>>3790735
I mean the true enemy IS usually rich people, I don't know if I'd call them inherently evil though.
But I know what you meant, many Chinese writers are incapable of writing anything but propaganda. I guess they're not unique in that, but they certainly do it far more consistently.

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.

>>3790480
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.

>>3790495
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.

>>3790496
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.

Novels that include game systems, disgustingly popular too. Protagonists will level up every so often and they include a stats page at points. It's fine if you're looking for some really long webnovel slop but really not worth bothering with in most cases imo

I mean it's explained a few posts later.
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.

>>3790526
I never said it's good, have I. Only that I can't discuss it without feeling ancient.
It's the same with the Fighting Fantasy books, or even Fabled Lands, despite that one getting that adaptation recently. They're very much "of their time".

I did. It was extremely boring and difficult. Maybe it was the choices or lack thereof but before I knew it the queen had my Anton executed. I never could do anything and felt I had to choose between two nonconsequential options each time. Rizia wasn't better. Any guides I used were completely useless.

kek deserved, also Rizia is super easy

>>3791462
Of course I suck. I got bored halfway through Episode 1 when i realized that reading reports and newspapers was a complete waste of time. I hated the Bluds so much it's unreal but my hands were tied. I hated my "friend" the most. I don't find it realistic for my Anton to be friends with chimp who can't keep it in his pocket. I don't know why there was never an option to tell his wife. It was so fucking obvious. I guess it IS a simulation of a male politician's life.

Tiang Fang is cute, I think. Just 6 months for the quest update guys!

Is the keeper series actually good?

>>3791579
1 is ok
2 is good
3 is kino

>>3791579
Depends on whether you like Harry Potter fanfics.

>>3791580
Ok, I might get it then, however, does it actually let you be cool or are you railroaded into being lame? Can you actually make your character unique and powerful?

>>3791582
I like some of them, but most drop the ball hard or never get finished. Then there are the fics where the mc befriends literally everyone and somehow manages a friend group of 10+ people.

>>3791583
>are you railroaded into being lame?
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.

>>3791585
You will love it then.

>>3791587
Interesting, I dropped it because I thought the intro was some of the worst things I've ever read I'll give it another spin I guess. How are the family interactions?

>>3791587
Sounds like a good time then.

>>3791590

It's fucking haunting and genuinely sad.

They’re mostly terrible with a kino idea here and there. The first book is especially shit.

>>3791590
My favourite is two parents.

>>3791587
>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.
Hmmm I tried to be a 'these guys trying to commit global genocide deserve to die' kinda of guy and yet my character was constantly thinking that that was 'bad'

>>3791583
>or are you railroaded into being lame?
You are, several times, with the first and second book being the greatest offenders. The moment it is convenient for the narrative, you are disabled with a flick of the fingers.

not to mention your character can join frostbite in the keeper series, and they’re all about ending the world, so due to their schizophrenia they can believe that ending the world would be a good thing

>>3791718
you guys don’t even read these stories do you? :/
you just repeat and parrot negative on other anons have said about the game

>>3791723
admittedly I dropped it 10 minutes into it, that intro was just too much, haven't read a whole lot of cyoa's yet but it was by far the worst one I've seen so far, probably giving it another chance soon.

>>3790649
Are these all published novels or webnovels? If all of these ai covers are real novels things are truly grim...

>>3791723
I did try it and bought it, but I couldn't get into it which makes sense, book 1 was started when she was 17. I hear book 2 is better

>>3791774
Those covers were made before AI tools become mainstream. It looks generic as hell because from what I know most of them were made by thirdie "artist" who worked for really cheap.

>>3790649
...maybe my long buried dream of being a published writer need not be dead after all.

Weeks status?

>>3791832
Three (one plus two more weeks!).

Great news guys, your favorite WIP will be updated in two weeks. Also, a great new original work is being released in two weeks. Trust the plan.

Haven't answered my question. Even if your schizo babblings were accurate, what the fuck are you gonna do about it? It's not off-topic to discuss a CYOA in the CYOA thread, no matter how much you seethe about it.

>instantly outs himself as the same schizophrenic retard as usual
Every time. You'd think he'd learn by now, but I guess being a faggot really does cause profound mental retardation.

Man, what is it with CYOA writers trying to turn their games into ACTUAL games, with involved mechanics, when they have no idea how to do it and usually use an engine entirely unsuited to it?

oh so you are samefagging lmao

your discord bf got btfo, that's why he's so quiet now, so cope ;)

>>3791882
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.

>>3791900
Hey, you got the right post this time! Nice job!

>>3791868

>>3791903

now are you ready to talk about a game (other than the one you shill for!) or are you going to drama-post and troll :O!!!?

>>3791909
Sure. What one would you like to talk about?

>>3788356
Why even make a cringe edit of the dialogue when that's pretty much already what she says in the original version?

But what if it doesn't come out in one week?

>>3791910
let's talk about press play!
i love how the story features a trans character that doesn't feel shoehorned in, or tries too hard and panders to their tumblr audience
their (zima's) struggles seems genuine and real, they're one of the few (and probably only) best written trans character in a IF game

>>3791912
That's the best thing. There's ALWAYS two more weeks.

>>3791910
>What one would you like to talk about?
>what one

>>3791916
>>what one
What?

>>3791917
In proper English, it would be worded
*Which one would you like to talk about?
OR
*Which would you like to talk about?
>what one
sounds awkward

>>3791919
I was just trying to make a dumb joke by repeating "what" again, but you're a good one, anon.

>>3791912
You should worry more about it actually coming out.
Handseals and shard cycling are getting completely kneecapped in the update, discord trannies we were assured have totally zero impact on ac now have full control over the game design

>>3791913
>press play
I commend you on once again proving you have the consistently worst taste of any poster in these threads, which is impressive considering there's that other schizo who spends half his time seething about the cutter game. I agree that the trans character didn't feel shoehorned in, if only because I found every character so insufferable or boring that it would've been impossible to be any worse.
There's something cursed about band cyoas, or the people who want to write them.

>>3791922
>spoiler
Soul crushing if true

>>3791923
i complimented the trans character and how they well were written, not the story itself (though it still is more bearable than infamous or mara's cuck game)
their struggles just seemed similar to other trans peoples struggles and zima being so mentally ill they had to spend their entire childhood in a psych ward for kids was just a chief's kiss
>There's something cursed about band cyoas
because most band WIPs (press play included) are more about the fucking drama (lol) rather than music, twisted scene was an exception to this but it seems abandoned unfortunately

>>3791924
athletics and training weights got buffed

>>3791932
Everything being hard capped at around 1400 ap is nothing to be excited about, even if shittier training methods get buffed to that celling. It's objectively a change for the worse made on behalf of "people" who go livid if something feels like a "power fantasy".

>>3791932
What, as in getting buffed in the update or do you mean the buff we got in ch7?
Because lmao if you meant the latter.

>>3791575

Apparently Saturnine should enter the release queue pretty soon™. It wasn't much good, but it's another game.

>>3791954
>cyborgs but gay instead of cool

>>3791974
The only other cyborg game is quite old. I, Cyborg or something?

>>3791976
You can also be one in Cyberpolice.

>>3791976
You can get implants and robo limbs in Cyberpoopdreams

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%.

>>3791989
>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%.
That's how it works in universe too. That top 5 bitch Sakura(?) from Outer East is spending millions of shards for very little gains.

>>3791993
That's fine if it's supposed to be like that, but then it would be cool to have something else to play with, when one mechanic becomes irrelevant.

>>3791954
>Saturnine should enter the release queue pretty soon™
Doesn't the author already have a playable demo for their next game out?

>>3791999

>>3791676

>>3792053
I am not making her sad. I am just ending the world that hurt her. I am doing it for her. Only thing more kino would be restarting a new world aftwards.

>>3791922
>spoiler
You've gotta be kidding me. The only thing that needed a nerf was alchemy, and only at extremely high levels (like 10+). Handseals were perfect, athletics needed a slight buff, and maybe one or two other skills should have been given some means to generate AP for you.

When a big update comes out do you usually replay the wip from the beginning or?

>>3791922
This may be a shitpost but I wouldn't be surprised. No good ever comes from having your shitty little Discord server, unless you're the type who can maintain professional detachment when necessary. And no fucking CYOA writer who WANTS a Discord server can do that, it's proven over and over again.
With that said, what was even the "problem" with handseals that "needed addressing"?

>>3792096
I haven't played in a while but iirc almost every point in the game where you increased your aura pressure from a gate you got a big boost from having handseals, I don't really see the problem desu.

>>3792095
Saves are fucked update to update so you must start again.

>>3792095
Big updates usually break saves. I can't remember any demo that didn't require restarts after each update - choicescript starts with pre-written list of variables that can only be added to temporarily, you can't add new ones without editing startup to declare them.

>>3792100

Finished with "Infamous(wip)" yesterday; I really like the angst interaction the mc has with Seven. Are there more slice of life flavored cyoa out there that you anons could recommend? I played "apartment 402" but it's also still a wip...

>>3792174
no. slice of life is bad

>>3792174
Try A Tale of Heroes.

>>3792174
When life gives you lemons is coming out soon, it’s slice of life game where you choose to raise wither a child or younger sibling (note that it was written for women in general so brace for a lot of horny sex scenes and scenarios if you play this)
The parenting simulator, as the name implies, has you becoming a parent to a child, it’s a tad bit more raileroaded when compared to WLGYL’s, but with far less sexual themes
I think sixth grade detective could be considered slice of life

>>3792179

>>3792174
Aura Clash

>>3792174
Tally Ho and Jolly Good are pretty close to a slice of life.

>>3792095
ChoiceScript is written so if there is a change to any before the point of your save, anything at all, even a comment, your save breaks. It's to "protect the author during development". Everyone hates it.

>>3792191
I'd played both but just can't finish Jolly good idk why...lost interest when you are forced to choose whether to attend boxing match, watch opera with your aunt or go somewhere which I can't remember with tabby.

There are different approaches to that. Wang makes his articles, which he can probably write in an hour or two and that's fine but if you completely stop making your game and instead write side stories then you deserve mockery.
Honestly, I prefer you don't post anything rather than whip out your what if scenarios or some other crap.

just starterd Fernweh Saga, are the stat checks confusing/bad? there are 10 % based stats and I hate the idea of trying to figure out what each dialoge option checks

FUCK, I want my supernatural urban fantasy game and I want it NOW.

>>3792771
I wanted to do that. But then I decided to do reincarnated as a shota villain story.
But if you want supernatural urban fantasy, I again have to recommend Dead Mount Death Play. Baccano and Durarara are also great.

I also wanted to make my own game, but at the end i realized i was ripping off the plot of the wolf among us.

>>3792850
Just do it, Telltale is never gonna make the 2nd game now that they do the shitty heroslop

>>3792854
To add, I still can't believe they canned Wolf Amon Us 2 for some shitty Marvel slop. When Wolf world is way more interesting. And there are so many more characters they could have used. I always wanted to see Rose Red in the games, because relationship between the sisters is just amazing.

>>3792850
Pastiche is pretty common in IF. Just insert other elements from different work/author/genre to make it more distinct. Maybe instead of fables use cryptids or myths.

anyone have the password to nicky's premium build?

poma needs a big update for the content already there, the fact that activities are still a blank wip sign is incredible, same with that festival shit. I guess nicky wants the skeleton of the main story done before going back for stuff?

>>3793023
oh right, completely forgot about the fatso. I guess there's more to the second trial than we know then because the sneakpeaks are interesting. Or maybe the 3rd trial will be changed inuniverse

What's the dragon trial though? Aura output or something like that?

>>3793070
You will have to challenge an ancient dragon in its cave, and the only way for you to pass is if it judges you worthy on account of whether you are just or evil.

I want your background in your past life to have some bearing on how you perceive the world after being reincarnated as a shota villain. So it will add tiny values that push you in certain directions.

Infamous chapter 4 SUCKS!.
It ends on a cliffhanger without even letting us see the rival bands' reaction to the song that the mc wrote for them. Wasted a lot of words on unnecessary shits. I did get invested back into the story near the end of the chapter...so that's maybe why it felt short. Also, I found out that Seven is black(icky), which ruins the interaction my mc had with that character.

>>3793351
As a general rule of thumb when playing cogshit: every character is brown unless stated otherwise.

>>3793351
Seven is brown, no? Hot chocolate, not like black-black.

>>3793369
yeah they’re described as being a lightish brown colour, and august is brown too if I recall, but a tad shade darker
and this is a pet peeve of mine, why do authors always make their non-binary characters and trans characters a dark brown variety? and they’re always either the MC’s childhood friend or someone who always backs them up, a lot of twine/itch games are guilty of this

>>3793371
>why do authors always make their non-binary characters and trans characters a dark brown variety?
Because this way they check two checkboxes at the same time. Coincidence has it all of those characters are also awful people that nobody likes.

>>3793375
It is the issue of writing characters only to tick a checkboxs, without understanding the real people like that. This is why write what you know is a writing rule.

>>3793371
They haven't managed to make me give a shit about August yet, no matter how hard they push them together with that annoying single father. You already have a fuckton of LIs and you already know that at best only one percent or so gives a shit about these two. Why are they even here.

>>3793386
Hard choices here. Having to choose between
>ugly black trannies

>Gina+Victoria(best girls)

>join aura clash trannycord
>they're all being banned
ok which one of you lads posted cp there

>>3793392
Seven because unhinged menheras are hot. He also was perfectly fine being codependent us against the world with MC until the band shat all over it.

>>3793386
What's the point of choosing your preferred sexuality if they still gonna push that single dad to be mc love interest? At least let the mc date his daughter instead...

>>3793392
>Victoria
Unfortunately, she's fat(icky). There's line stating that she's a plus-sized model. For me it's Gina+Dakota.

>>3793408
Daughter is sixteen, so no dice. What I dislike the most is how forced MC's occasional reactions to Sebastian are and how he and his daughter are mandatory +1 kind of thing. His daughter is way more interesting.

>>3793398

Oh yeah, it's great.

>'But why tho?'
>'Are you sure you want to say something like that in public?'

Yeah, she's a bit prickly but she's still my cousin, only family I have left and she's clearly trying her best in a strained situation.

Why wouldn't I stick by her?

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.

>>3793659
wow, 25k on patreon xire.

>>3793659
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

>>3793659
Fuck off, there are like a million of you already

>>3793665
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

>>3793660
Thanks, I'll be looking forward to taking your money. Just be aware that sometimes I come down with sudden unexplainable illnesses that can delay work.

>>3793659
>you are one of the young heirs
Fuck you, put me at the bottom and let me work my way up. I want to start as the son of the lowliest baron.

Which one of these games have hype moments and aura

>>3793670
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.

>>3793681
How many performative customization choices can I have on my mc? Can I be pan bi straight gay ? Xir these issues are very important you see...

>>3793704
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.

>>3793706
Can play as a yandere, apparently.

>>3793732
>Got to pre-plan it first
what would be considered a good enough pre-plan?
the world, its rules, the villain, the plot, the major locations?

>>3793760
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.

Found out recently that this program works with cyoa games to get rid of the border and make it full screen for real, a must have since the garbage pile system they're run on doesn't have a full screen option

walls of natrun just got another update
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

>>3794202
Nice! Glad the Author's chipping away at it. Played it a bit and looking forward to it but probably wont touch the WiP again. Happy to wait for the full game.

I just assumed the super edgy options were more of a gag reply.

updates when?

The update has like 200k words, should be enough for anyone.

Did the cowardly Devon talk about Masashi romance yet?

>>3794891
He already said it's not cannon and he was never going to implement it and people just didn't understand the ward relationship (he's a coward who pussied out)
