Alas, "I have two toddlers" is a better excuse than "My old laptop broke and I got cancer," yet it somehow annoys me more.

Thereโs a massive cognitive dissonance between vtm tabletop players, the people who read the novels, and those who just play the video games. I have been reading the book of nod, and it just slaps so hard. Then i go to the tabletop community to discuss the nature of Caine, only to see very gay posts like pic related, gay and trans fanfiction, and slutty pictures (yes, in lingerie) of some landwhale doing a cosplay of Velvet for the 3498 time. In the best case, you will read about some dude who played as a poc thinblood with vitiligo who blew up a Ventrue tower in LA or something like that. Itโs all so tiresome.
>>3795158this is what happens to your audience when you make a game for the improv theatre experience camp
this also isn't /tg/ nor is it your discord chatgroup
>>3795160AC troons were openly talking about their discord and their drama happening in chat and nobody batted an eye at that
>>3795158WoD has always appealed to that uber progressive teenager "it's not a PHASE MOM" crowd first and foremost, its the only tabletop system that you can consistently find girls in groups of, but you probably wouldn't want to date them.
>>3795158I blame the sloptubers. Everyone wants to make a VTMB video and they usually bring yet another wave of people who can't even open a corebook.
Funnily enough, some of CoG's VTM games and Coteries catch the intended spirit of the splat better than VTMB. If you want a generic powerwank about owning everyone without sacrificing anything, go play Mage or Woof. Even Kristof had more struggles than fletching.m
>>3794996the appearance in this case doesn't matter, the issue is that society will shit on them and life by default is already hard enough
at least that's my reasoning
>>3795201This. People need to conform to society or the wannabe normalfag society enforcers will show up and ruin their life to feel good about themselves and numb the pain of existence by joining the collective.
>>3795210Fencing school in the mountains with apple trees will save them, trust.
>>3795158Don't care. I will continue replaying VTMB every October and I will not interact with any communities for the franchise.
>>3795222based and checked
I just want all the assamites exterminated
faggot clan, filled with mary sue sissie fags
>>3795158Is that bad? My only interaction with the franchise was bloodlines, the cog games, and right now the ck3 mod princes of darkness
Im roleplaying as a 12th gen salubri that works as a scribe and that only diablerizes tremere.
>>3795231There's like a 90% chance that the person you're replying to doesn't actually play tabletop either and just reads the books for the mediocre microfiction parts in them.
WoD is the sort of setting where you homebrew away most of the material attached to it, so don't sweat too much over whether your way of engaging with it is "proper".
>>3795174>still trying to peddle this bullshitYou will never understand the soul of 90s urban fantasy,zoomer-kun.
>>3795158The problem, Anon, is that all the autists who'd love to discuss the deep lore are either mentally ill in numerous ways and also likely to post the shit you complained about, decided to detach from the general WoD community at large long ago out of sheer cringe, or simply fell out of it over time and can't/don't want to get back now. But it was always like that, WoD and especially Vampire drew in a very specific kind of people. It's just some elements got introduced over time as culture changed, before that it was JUST gay vampires everywhere, now there's trans vampires for some fucking reason like they have time to obsess over body dysmorphia or whatever the fuck while dealing with all the new vamp shit.
Well that and as WoD somehow got tamer over time, or at least less hilariously edgy for no reason, the people who wanted to hang around and talk about goofy shit like the 'ow the edge' tier gargoyle creation labs described in, I believe, the House of Tremere VTDA books or literal insane nazi scientist vampires just kinda left because now it was 'gross' and 'stupid'. Which it was, but damn it, that was the point.

1 day until anon nerfs every build into the ground.
Any CYOA that let me play like... an alchemist, or an artificer, or equivalent? I'm just in the mood for the vibe of that.
>>3795451Play Arcanum of the thread game
>>3795451Falrika the Alchemist
>>3795451Well there's A Mage Reborn, that has Alchemy as one of the possible specializations, probably the one with most special content too. For what it's worth. But it's VERY linear so if you're not looking for that, it wouldn't be the best.
I guess technically playing the gadgeteer archetype in Shriek of Ash and Fire is an artificer, since in THEORY it's all magitech at the core, but you can't really tell half the time.
I think Lost Heir lets you be one? but fuckin lmao lost heir
>>3795304Stop embarrassing yourself. The road trip to GenCon inception story states the whole thing was inspired by current (for the) dayโข issues rather than anything else and Chicago by Night being a directt metaphor for those and class warfare makes it painfully obvious. It's libcore as hell.

>>3795492>especially criticism, i need that shitthe prose that tries to be a slick smartass makes me die inside whenever i see it. i dunno how much choice there will actually be, a lot of the dialogue seems to just be for flavor with little actual impact, but that could just be the beginning. either way I thought it was a bit rough but neat-kinda reminds me of shadowrun, I commend you on getting something critiuqable out in the first place. bearfags/fujos will have a melty at an unromancable gentle giant lol. though I wonder if he's actually that good of a guy or if he's a twist sociopath or something

>>3795526that implies that fujos ever gave a shit about bears. american ones might, but they're not true fujos.
>>3795492I remember when you first started posting about it. I'm proud of you, author-san.
>>3795505its ok. truth be told even with all the work im afraid its not the most bug free. the parkour fight and street fight code are held together with duct tape. ill just get the feedback i can and go back to work on the final chapter.
>>3795509its too early. i plan to have one more chapter in so the readers can get a better feel of the story. more content can never be bad.
>>3795523the game is both gender locked to male and orientation locked to straight. i dont feel comfy writing gay scenes so i wont. i did have some solid ideas for female mcs and how it could actually change the story but i realized it was too much work so i just went with male.
>>3795526damn. i specifically tried to keep my prose short and sweet to avoid that slick smartass vibe. or maybe it contributed to it. any specific lines that had you cringe?
>>3795530it is what it is. thank you for trying it out.
>>3795534MC doesn't feel that set gender-wise. Could be a girl with ease, especially given how they got implants from Manticore - besides, could add in certain funny biological differences in fights. Like longer endurance to prolonged pain, for starters.
Besides, given how V-ish and CP2077-ish it feels, kind of weird to get a mandatory man.
>>3795534>its too early.It is not. You have already posted enough.
> i plan to have one more chapter in so the readers can get a better feel of the story. more content can never be bad.CoGtards are shit eaters. Do not treat them as human beings, they are unworthy of such grace. Moreover, you want your official thread to be old because every now and then one of them digs through the forum to just check out any game they didn't try before.
"Thank you, name variable, for doing x". The name in this type of sentence is separated from the base text block by commas. It's a really common mistake, funnily enough - I usually see it in droves in non-ESL works.
>>3795520That was in the very first thread of ours and (you)/he immediately ran off to tell about it to Juan's discord.
>>3795534>the game is both gender locked to male and orientation locked to straight
Increasing indent. Notepad or CSIDE? IDE usually catches these in a quicktest immediately. If romance options intended are that quartermaster girl and Ms. Evans, they don't particularly work - they have far more of colleague or friend vibe. Could simply ax the romance entirely so it would not bother you.
Eh, dunno. Feels like V but PMC, the genderlock reasoning is weak as fuck and the overall vibes only make sense if you pick professional lines. Most of the dialogue choices boil down to:
- be a dumbass
- be normal
- be both a dumbass and an asswipe
Scene with hiding from rival PMC was the most interesting part, although I do not particularly get why there was even a choice between staying hidden or going guns blazing if you end up getting pulled by them anyway. Descriptions of living in LA also were far more interesting than the base section. Could have had more options to try and make yourself look more presentable or try to blend in better to avoid the mandatory pull. Vomit option funny, but feels pretty forced. Also, quicktest and commas. Quicktest would have immediately caught that indent that bricked my run.
>>3795534>the game is both gender locked to male and orientation locked to straight. i dont feel comfy writing gay scenes so i wont. i did have some solid ideas for female mcs and how it could actually change the story but i realized it was too much work so i just went with male.I dunno how hard it would be to a cybered up grill, but at the end of the day its your story.
>damn. i specifically tried to keep my prose short and sweet to avoid that slick smartass vibe. or maybe it contributed to it. any specific lines that had you cringe?basically all of the third options, which could just be me having a low tolerance for overt cockiness
>>3795535>Besides, given how V-ish and CP2077-ish it feels, kind of weird to get a mandatory man.The only cyberpunk inspiration he mentioned was Cyber Knights: Flashpoint, so that's more on you for "getting a lot of CP2077 vibes from this" desu
>>3795554Most of first and third dialogue options had a very heavy feel of "V when they open their mouths without full player control". CP2077 was largely caused by them.

>>3795585"You confused me with someone else" is a bad card to pull when you posted a screencap of you trying to shill it on here under the same username that had posted a private link to your WiP hours before it appeared on here, habibi.

>>3795596>>we want The Crow audience is memorableYeah. There's a reason people liked playing Shadowrun too
>>3795598That's the one. It's been a while but I don't think it's your sister who can become a vampire, it's your childhood friend/sorta-gf(?). From what I remember your sister only shows up at the masquerade ball and in the epilogue.
hello hello. lot of critiques here so im gonna talk about them now.
>genderlocki was trying to give the vibe that the field was overwhelmingly male but ig i failed in that. im not fully against the idea of a female MC-there could be some good reactions and changes here and there. but idk if im fully on board with it. idk ill see after im done with the edits.
>dialoguei tried to not fall into "cp2077 quirkly dialogue" pitfall but seems like i did. the serious/loyal dialogue came to me from the first deus ex i modelled it off some of jc dentons lines. i was winging it with the jokester/self serving dialogues. for now ill keep writing the new stuff (rewrites can be a death trap) but ill keep it in mind going forward.
>>3795544those indents keep fucking shit up. it will be fixed. im gonna switch to the choicescript ide after this, if it can catch these things faster. thanks for feedback on the romances. ye, evens and quartermaster chick are intended to be romance options. ill flesh them in the later stuff.

>>3795616When I had indent fuck-ups in my demo, IDE caught them immediately in the first randomtest. Had to crawl through all the options myself if I wanted to find them manually.
>>3795631I'd say Coteries and Parliament. You struggle, you may achieve something, but MC is always way over their head and needs to think very cruelly to survive. Most companion sidelines were pretty cringy, though not as cringe as Julia's mere existence. Night Road is far more of VTMB core, especially if you choose to help Lettow - trawling through a large lower, gun in hand, alone as a killing machine.
>>3795634Just five more books and twenty more years... keep the faith...
>>3795562>superstitionThat's the one with the succubus, right? Been meaning to play it for a while.
is a mage reborn any good
>>3795678It's alright out of okay, but it's got some hardcore favoritism for some routes over others.
The WIP sequel sucks absolute dick though, so know that you'll get a story that is ultimately entirely a lead-up into fucking nothing.
>>3795492Cyberpunk bores me so I won't read it, but good luck.
>>3795492Worse writing than cyberpunk dreams.
>>3795678It's fine, though not amazing. It's rather short and on rails but the story is entertaining enough.
The first one is basically a prologue for the second one that's being written. The wip for it had to be rewritten from scratch because it forced you to willingly work for people most couldn't stand. I haven't played it but supposedly the new demo is for the most part much better about the set up.
>>3795678I liked the first one, the ending is really kino.
> World War II Armored Recon is an interactive novel of approximately 900,000 words by Allen Gies, the lead writer for Burden of Command.
> Every gallon of gas matters. Every round might be irreplaceable as your travels take you far from friendly lines and into a storm of secrets and maneuvers unknown to all but a handful of combatants.
> Take the commanderโs seat of an American tank. Plunge into the deserts of North Africa. Every decision counts as you battle Nazis, master logistics, and strive to keep your crewโand yourselfโalive.
Isn't Gies one of Wang buddies? Looks promising.
>>3795779>Isn't Gies one of Wang buddies?I mean considering Burden of Command writing team was Gies and Wang, yeah, it sure stands to reason he is that
>>3795678First one is good but pretty railroaded in that it always ends the same way, even if you perform very well, or completely shit the bed in the earlier sections
Part two is still being written, and is also quite decent ever since the rewrite, but it puts you with a different set of characters and faction which can put people off
B-bros? After 6 months!??!
>>3795827I'm struggling to feel excited with all the credible rumours that he just nerfed a bunch of shit for no reason. 2 weeks ended too soon.
>>3795845If he changed alchemy that's fine with me, as long as there's still ways to minmax and have fun.
>>3795779He was a co-writer on Burden of Command, yeah. I would've expected more people to know him for Tin Star though.
Didn't get very far during the WiP phase, but the non-binary option there making you an autists who demands people adress you exclusively as Sarge did get a solid chuckle out of me
>>3795863He changed handseals, for some fucking reason
>another round of powergaming autism for a game that anon's toddlers could beat incoming
it's all so tiresome
>>3795872That sucks if true, they're a lot more fun to minmax than alchemy.
>>3795802>Part two> decent
>>3795868I think Gies was the lead on Burden, wasn't he?
But yeah, Tin Star is what he's more known for. Which by the way, pretty alright, but I guess not much worth discussing in these threads.
>>3795883According to Wang around 40-50% of the text there is his, so it sounds like it was more of a co-authorship. Naples was entirely his IIRC.
Speaking of which, it's heartening to know I got enough grasp on him to have pegged Dearborn as his. Making the educated white guy's only real falling being that he hates blacks and then it never really coming up because you don't really interact with any was certainly a choice.
>>3795779>900k words>gritty logistics sim>tank crew and munitions>invading North AfricaFuuuuuck yes let's teach those Barbary fuckers a lesson!
>to fight the nazisJesus why. What a waste.
>>3795910First, I don't really see how it ruins the experience that thoroughly
Second, c'mon guy, did you seriously expect anything else? Commercially viable choices are strictly limited for indie projects.
>>3795910Imagine simping for retards who blew most of their momentum on useless shittery and folded the second they got slowed down. Even simping for japanese nazis is more understandable tham german ones.
>>3795779>ww2 its kinda an over done setting for a wargame in my opinion, might check it out but would have been interested in one set in a less talked about conflict
>>3795910Sorry sweaty, we love stories of heroic underdogs punching above their weight here.
>>3795915Ew, they're american. I thought they were soviet or french or even english ones. No one ever makes games about French in Africa and Middle East during WW2.
>>3795919>no one ever makes games about cosmologically irellevant countries in cosmologically irellevant parts of the world during WW2gee what a mystery
>>3795581>>3795611Based.
I can't even stand to look at anything V:TM unless it's based on pre-Requiem content.
>>3795925Soviets were insignificant in WW2 effort? I don't know whether to laugh at you or pity you. Anyway, at least French have not been used a lot and had pretty interesting interactions with their colonies during WW2. No one ever uses the French anywhere despite them being so much more interesting than most of english history and culture.
>>3795928Personally, I would be happy to get some Dark Ages stuff.
>>3795932Will they ever adapt that to V5? If they won't, doubt they'll let others adapt it even under Dark Pack.
>>3795930>No one ever uses the French anywhereHyperbole, or ignorance...?
>>3795937Hyperbole. In CoG sphere only games that actually used the French somewhat were, as far as I know, Diamant Rose and Ironheart.
>>3795940The Eagle's Heir. And technically Revolution Diabolique, that one just sucks ass.
>>3795944Four, then? Still not a lot in comparison to either english history or arthuriana.
>>3795945I mean... how many ARE actually specifically bongland history?
(Arthurian doesn't count though, c'mon, it's stretching the definition and has an entirely different vibe. Besides the French won that field by hijacking the myths and having Lancelot cuck Arthur.)
>>3795874Stop mocking aura clash.
>>3795960false flag ass post
Just played Aura Clash and Desdemona isn't that good looking?
>>3795947A Squire's Tale is pretty tied to english history, Chronicon Apocalyptica has MC as an english monk in pretty low-level fantasy take on saxon England, there is A Road to Canterbury, which I didn't play and which is inspired by Chaucer, Trials of Thief-Taker is another historical fiction take, that's CoG. On HG's side there is Tudor Intrigue.
If you count non-historical works that are still heavily based on British society, there are Tally Ho / Jolly Good, A Midsummer Night's Choice, several Pride and Prejudice books, A Study in Steampunk, Superlatives and Weyrwood, plus Heart of the House. That makes together seventeen or so works if you count them all and six if you count more historical ones. I specifically didn't count arturiana.
>>3795930>Soviets were insignificant in WW2 effort?Yes, they were interchangeable with Poland. The only reason one looks like it mattered is because the USA bought them an entire replacement tank army plus 100,000 trucks and multiple armies worth of ammo, clothes, food, and guns. Without the USA funding it you would be laughing at the USSR for bringing cavalry charges to tank fights just like you do Poland.
>>3795971Oh pish-posh! My good fellow, we both know that seventeen to four - five! the other chap forgot 'If It Please the Court' from Heart's Choice! - is PERFECTLY reasonable ratio between the two cultures given their relative, shall we say, qualities
Nah but really, you're not wrong. But it's still not quite 'nobody uses the French' level, I think, even technicalities aside; most people have far more exposure to media based on British history and culture and it sort of self-perpetuates since 'bro write what you know' after all. Blame it on the lack of Frenchies writing CYOA. Or at least not sharing after they write it in their devil tongue and then acting smugly superior about it, or something, you know how they are.
>>3795978i have actually seen a bl vn that was originally in french on itch recently. the veil of n-something. nikabi? nibiki? french also sounds kind of... soft and pretty, in a way? like japanese.

Often see media on the Western Front, or, God forbid, the Pacific Theatre by Russians? Be the change you want to see instead of begging the Occident for cultural appropriation.

discord won
>>3796286>Nerfed Shard Cycling to only count up to 7 HandsealsNot as catastrophic as anon made it out to be on discord. It still reduces cycling cost for every skillpoint past 6, it just stops adding skill value past 6 to AP gained when you get the most out of soul cores. Glancing at the code, there aren't any hardcaps for cycling in general which was the real fear.
Still a let down that it happened at all.

>>3796514Now this is good writing.
You can't write games unless you know what tone you actually want and when you want it. If you get the proper usage of tone, you can be forgiven for much writing-wise in IFs.
wang should make a thracia clone, with renard as the lord and the DRVGOON as the jagen. have an A/B route split halfway through deciding if you want to side with wulfram or isobel, or have a secret C route that you only access by completing each Ex chapter ala binding blade.
The Jack fight was really good, keep at it anon!
This update was a complete disappointment
Why did anon cave-in to his discord fanbase?
>>3796529Balance is an affliction that strikes even the greatest.
>>3796517>fujoNot a fujo. He's a literal filipino tranny.
>>3796532Yeah, but it's funny to see how much he seethes at being called one
>>3796529He was a lost cause the second he interacted with said discord fanbase.
You can't stop that filth from flourishing, but it's your choice to stick your dick into the mold and get infected. And make no mistake, the infection is inevitable. I fully consider him a lost cause now, all the hope I had dashed.
>a fucking flip is the one ""critiquing"" writing quality
This explains a lot, really.
>I can no longer get numbers that go 1.5 to 2x above a cheat mode characters played for RP on a minmaxxed character in my roleplaying game (I can still pass every check in the game handily though)

>>3796536It's the price of having a patr*on, really. Not every author can aspire to be a meth addict like Zaper or the orcgod.
The relationships in my villainous shota game will be:
Alarich - the shota prince, heir to the kingdom and the childhood friend
Reinhardt - the twink elder brother, heir to the duchy, prodigy and devoted older brother
Elise - the twin sister, suffering from a mysterious affliction, living in seclusion
Freya - mysterious hag witch, very trustworthy

wait why would i seethe at being called a fujo if i tend to recommend fujo and homosexual games?
his discord troon fanabse are a genuine bunch of retards, aren't they?
>>3796541Nonsense. You choose how involved with "the community" you want to be. It's one thing to monitor their activities and respond to bug reports or answer questions.
Another to fucking discuss things with them as if their input is inherently valuable just because they give you money.
>>3796542All romance options, right? Reinhardt sounds particularly interesting, older bros incesting with their little brothers and sisters is always kino.
>>3796542>shotaInto the trash it goes.
>immediately seethes on cue
>>3796544Are there any examples of authors that don't interact with community making at least Infamous-tier money? Tumblr questions seem to be nearly mandatory to get big enough and get pushed into more normie spheres.
>>3796544True, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that. If you do want feedback it's not like you have a lot of choices available. He takes feedback from here, too, and we don't give him any money.
>>3796547anon you, your buttbuddy got all sassy with me (like a women!) when i recommended some itch games lol
so, i'll repeat the question, with above in mind, why would i seethe at being called a fujo?

>>3796553>why am I compelled to reply every time someone mocks me for being a retard with terrible tasteI'm sure if you think about it long enough you'll be able to solve the mystery.
>>3796560The only thing better than incest is twincest. I wonder why CoG has such a hardline ban on that topic specifically - I get rape and gore, but why include incest in the list?
>>3796563>>why am I compelled to reply every time someone mocks me for being a retard with terrible tastedid you write that without any sort of irony whatsoever
>>3796570Because, especially recently, there's been a weird concerted push to make anything remotely incest-adjacent be seen as a crime against nature as bad, or even worse than, rape and murder. It's the same reason people had an absolute fucking meltdown over that one VN last year and unironically argued THAT was the only real issue with it, not all the other shit the characters got up to.
Now why it's happening, I don't fucking know. It makes no goddamn sense to me. It'd be one thing to see people go "ew incest" and another to see the over-the-top reactions that are so rampant online.
>>3796432tey etadpu tsrow

>>3796570It makes payment processors nervous, and when they get nervous they might start refusing to deliver payment for any of your content. There's a reason all the WEG shovelware scams you see on Patreon are only ever incest-adjacent.
So the "correct" choice when you get trapped in the domain expansion with the Akuma Lords is to stall for time?
>>3796578Are incestfags seriously this delusional? If anything this dogshit fetish is making headway into normalfaggotry since ages ago with coffin fotm becoming one solely because of it as a very recent example.
Incest would be hotter if this wasn't the result.

>>3796755Sure, why not. Rabbit Trial was very good and I enjoyed Dragon Trial even more. Guiren's quest was fun too although the weapon I got from this was obsolete, as I preferred Ikazuchi. I guess it would be cool to give it to Kosuke, maybe. Shame we didn't get Fang's quest yet though.
I never thought I'd say this, but the new Jack fight finally made me revise his opinion of him: he is no longer a pathetic jobber and waste of time, but a respectable jobber and okay rival.
>>3796634I've been trying chatgpt for programming advice and it's been surprisingly good so far. If you want an easier time try using ChoiceScriptIDE, it's a lot more convenient and it allows you to open up other games to learn their code.

man it's like I'm back in the day of him calling Wang a psychopath for eating meat
>>3796896I'm so glad I have no idea who that is twin
>>3796890NTA but they would be IF he understood how the fuck to use it properly and not generate the most shitslop looking slop possible. We're long past the point where it HAD to look like ass, now it's basically a choice not to do better and at least use a palatable style.
>>3796899I thought most looked fine besides desdemona and leona knowing it's AI, but then again I don't know how much it is the touchups. I can see wym if the gens needed a lot of work afterwards
>>3796896He still writes slop no one actually likes or wants. Kind of funny how he mentally stayed in 2015 and still seethes.
>>3796852You don't even need to play as a Jade cuck. I very comfortably bumbled around the island, just meeting with my buddies and ended the chapter with 2500 AP, 1300 of them unassigned, and all while playing on normal difficulty.
>>3796794I agree that the newest chapter gave him a lot of characterization. Prior to Ebikowa he was like a stupid schoolyard bully. At Ebikowa, he was actually pretty okay but most people didn't give two shits as Jack only messed with us a bit. Jack using his racial technique and then exploiting our Fuel Foundation were great scenes.
>>3796901Part of it is the style being absolute dogshit, I just think awkwardly straddling the line between realistic and stylized looks fucking revolting. Like I don't usually go around insulting people's taste but if anyone told me the images that pop up to introduce (kid) Kosuke and Crusher Mao look good, I'd really have no reply beyond "you're either fucking with me or genuinely retarded".
But even setting that aside, and even worse given the alleged touch-ups, it just LOOKS like low effort AIslop with no thought put into it. They look like they're melting in places, hand seven filters slapped haphazardly onto them.
Now for full disclosure, I've disabled the art after the prologue, because I wasn't about to endure any more garbage on the off chance it gets better. First impressions are crucial. All you're gonna get if you flashbang people with EXACTLY the sort of 'quality' people make fun of when they talk about AIslop is... people shitting on you for using it. And rightfully so. If you can't be bothered to even try, you shouldn't be using art at all. And I don't mean the smug "pick up a pencil/pay someone" thing, I mean at least use the damn slop machine right. You wouldn't put a terrible drawing in unless it's a stylistic choice, a statement, or a joke... so why use the equivalent? Especially considering a shitty sketch would at least amuse people, lazy use of AI is just guaranteed to cause melties, and I don't think trolling is the goal here. And if it is, it shouldn't be, have some respect for your work.
But my autism is fueled by being both an artist AND quite familiar with generative "AI", so what I've seen managed to annoy me on several levels. Whichever angle I look at it, it's offensively lazy and done for no apparent purpose.
>>3796910Care to post any of the stuff you find appealing? Just curious
>>3796910Even the sloppiest Artbreeder would have been better, to be honest. Like, all it needed of him is several repeats of Chinese faces and something ad a filter overlay that didn't mess with the features too much - Desdemona already looks like an Artbreeder reject, it would not matter much anyway.
>>3796910To be fair, if you stop playing a game because of some obvious placeholders, you have a stick in your axe wound. Aura Clash is top 10 best CYOAs unironically, and having some AI placeholders being the worst thing about the game is not that much of a problem. I do agree that anon should just disable them however.
>>3796916...when have I said anything about not playing it? I just turned the art off, man.
>>3796917You didn't say it but there's a lot of people that don't and they're retarded.
>>3796918*that don't play it
>>3796794>but a respectable jobberHe goes all out against you in a place that benefits his powers the most and turns yours against you and loses.
Atleast 2 previous times he could cope that he wasn't actually trying to fight which is why you've won back then but here we got an actual confirmation that Jack can't beat you no matter what he does.
>>3796911I mean if I wanted to be comprehensive we'd be here for a long time. I just think intentionality is important. Like I said, you can have "objectively" bad art and get away with it, if the POINT is having it. This being obvious placeholders and all, and given the varying aesthetic choices, I sincerely doubt ANY thought was put into the result beyond "does it match the appearance tags".
I might be wrong, but... if so, I'd love to know what exactly the reasoning behind the choices was, as I can't see it.
>>3796794>cheats>still loses>respectableuh-huh
>>3796925>>3796929I did think his combat difficulties might be a little low considering you can raise our stats in that fight with earth or fire element, insight, and poisoning him. Trying to get a consensus on how badly it's needed. Did any of you take damage in the fight?
>>3796910Nah, those pictures were made in late 2022 and any of the tools you're thinking of didn't exist. Good for its time, bad now. Have a fan working on some replacement portraits and still looking for a good illustrator for the finale. All the options so far are simply "not bad", versus being good enough to show on the Steam store page.
>>3796931I did the fight 3 times so far and haven't taken damage once besides the meteor, only used the poison once might want to increase some of the checks, double arm cannon was showing a modifier error btw.
>>3796925>He goes all out against you in a place that benefits his powers the most and turns yours against you and loses.It benefits you even more, at least in the short term. Jack could have beaten us outside a Gate but he specifically wanted you to cripple yourself. We managed to outbullshit his bullshit which barely ended with a double KO but only he is able to continue the trials, at least for now.
In my opinion, anon wrote the fight well.
>>3796931I'm this guy
>>3796908. The checks were easy although I had 5 dots in insight. I gave Jin the poison but it didn't seem to work and Jin's combat prowess got lowered. Is there some additional check I missed for that?
>>3796931None whatsoever, but I was on my kitsune merchant build with 2800 AP at that point.
At 9-10 points in each core, he was doing nothing to me and I at that point in the game it's not difficult even for someone who won't be powergaming to buff himself up to that point, too.
>>3796910I think it's as simple as him just being tasteless. He went on record saying he went through a lot of gens for that end result and when me and others stated it looks like the realistic slop AI goes for he had a lowkey melty insisting he has no idea what we're talking about and that it's a Jade Empire look while accusing us of being the same person kek. Him offhandedly dropping
>my AI looks kinda good and most looks like ass, it has an actual artist's touchfor the edited portraits you'd never know are edited is only more damning.
>>3796933>Jack could have beaten us outside a GateMaybe he could beat you, loser
>>3796938Excellent rebuttal.
>>3796931>those pictures were made in late 2022 and any of the tools you're thinking of didn't existFair enough, fair enough. Big leaps in the last few years after all.
That said, I question having it at all, in that case... but then, I just don't vibe with "good enough" that much, certainly not when it seems to be just because. I'd understand adding something like that in a genre with expectation of it, like if you were making a VN or even a CYOA using some of the other possible engines. Just like I can understand games having shitty voice acting in the current decade, where plenty of people complain about no voice acting. But art in a text CYOA is merely a bonus, and having a shitty bonus is worse than none at all, so to speak.
And I mean, NOW all those tools exist, it'd be trivial to replace the placeholders at least, wouldn't it? What's the attachment to the existing ones?
>>3796931Oh yeah and while you are here, several bugs:
>casino bans you for no reason on day 2>weapon enchantments from crafting get reset at several points>skill points gained during demonic cultivation quest are removed after you go to sleep>during crafting, enchantments for thievery and survival are swapped
>>3796910>I just think awkwardly straddling the line between realistic and stylized looks fucking revoltingYou clearly don't know what you are talking about. This is what treading between realistic and stylised looks like. And it is why 2010 to 2015 was the best era for games.
>>3796940>And I mean, NOW all those tools exist, it'd be trivial to replace the placeholders at least, wouldn't it? What's the attachment to the existing ones?The free time when you have multiple toddlers is almost non-existent, haven't touched a videogame, fished, or seen the guys in 3 months and Chapter 8 didn't even run until 2 days before release. However I do have someone else working on replacement portraits and he's doing a good job.
>>3796941I'll give them a look. The skill gains in particular sound cursed and I've no idea how that could happen.
>>3796933>Jack could have beaten us if the only thing that gave him a sliver of a chance didn't actually happenYou are brown.
>>3796942I mean if you want to misinterpret what is written in a way that allows you to get mad, be my guest.
>>3796931this is completely unrelated to literally anything else said here, but it keeps nagging on me and I never had the opportunity to ask before
why Lunargoths?
>>3796948I am merely correcting your terminology.
>>3796931>those pictures were made in late 2022I don't see how this is true when you've been asking anons here for character ideas mid-2023 and spoken of generating what would be Desdemona for an anon right around the same time.
>>3796942Have you ever suffered a severe head injury?
>>3796954it's a kisekifag, brain damage is expected
>>3796944Since I have a chance to bug you with a question, man. The early parts reward spreading out, and even later on there's good reason not to overspecialize, is that the guiding principle or are you gonna spring a nasty surprise if someone isn't all-in on specific skills and cores?
can wang drop his WoD thingy already and stop jerking us around so he can get back to being cuffed to the radiator and writing wars please?
>Seven Tails?
>Interesting...
>>3796953Oh yeah, guess it was 2023.
>>3796951Desdemona's fault. Aura Clash only became a IF because one anon lamented that there were no big tiddy goth GFs. I said I'd make one for him, but the only setting I had was my card game's eastern fantasy. I ended up melding it with an inspiration on the Ostrogoths. Although in the ACverse they lost the invasion instead of winning, I kept the same result of the Ostrogothic invasion of Rome: Invading the nation, sacking the cities, moving in, realizing their life back home is *trash* compared to this, and telling all their troops to stop sacking the place and that they're staying. They even tried their best to change their own culture and language to become the new Romans since they didn't want to fuck up whatever made it all work. One of the funniest historical aftermaths.
>>3796957I plan to have 2-3 be the default for skillchecks, with 4 for some unique "wouldn't it be funny if-" scenarios like knowing Brass Tiger from his authored book in a library, not his war achievements.
Now off to a nap before the youngest has a playdate. Planning to drop a patch sunday night that will break saves, after giving everyone the weekend to find bugs and finish their playthrough.
Is there any reason to double up on stuff like the ninjutsu style and shadow element, or is it just gonna be a waste due to giving the bonus to the same shit
>>3796967Use the rule of cool since the game is easy enough already.
>>3796968I mean that's fair, but I'd like to know the answer all the same
I can pivot the concept a little and get both flavor and higher effectiveness
>>3796970>stealth shit (Kuronkoton)>stealth shit (Dark Element)>fly (Kiihakai)>fly (Wind Element)Overlapping doesn't give you tangible benefits but you can still do it without thinking too much about it.
>>3796941>>3796944The stat loss from demonic cultivation quests seems to be tied to resting at the thunderfall tower immediately after. I kept survival+craft bonus after resting on the streets.
Weapon enchantment loss might be tied to the same issue.
>>3796960Technocracy conspires for him to be stuck working on it forever judging from how he just said that running an autotest forced him to work on adding another narrative path to it when he was just about to submit it.
>>3796974His laptop also wasn't able to endure standard CoG quicktest for Lords.
Is placing in top 5 exclusive to jade dragon?
>>3796986How did you do it? I blew Jack's points as jade dragon got 8 points in all trials and still couldn't do it
>>3796542But why is the shota twink heir when there's an older brother right there
>>3796988I don't know exactly. In my JDF run I had close to 80 prestige but otherwise made the same choices as in a normal run which didn't place me there. I assumed it's just something JDFs get.
>>3796989Not HIS older brother, Anon.

>>3796962Lolibaba Master in the next big update?
>>3797024No flatties EVER.
What games does cultivator anon play?
>>3796962I would say that the Jack fight could be a little harder with one or two points added to some checks. I like the Insight bonus for it since it does make the skill pretty useful if the fight does become harder. Other than that, great update.
By the way, I found a lot of bugs in the second part of the rabbit trail tied to fortitude checks. And the item that makes the weighed clothes lighter doesn't work.
>>3797028Oppai lolibaba master in the next update?

>>3797116Not likely, I've been here since 2008.
Janny, they're shitting all over the thread again, clean it up!
>>3797109(G never fucked any underaged fans btw, this is head canon on your part)
>>3797128I mean, they could've done that pretty easily. They're described as a whore who only got married to stop the rumours (male G) / or as means of exerting control (female G).
Finally read through the KaE rewrite and while the childhood section still felt overly long, at least it actually time skipped to age 14 for doing the actually important shit instead of having super 7 year olds.
Though it's probably still going to take forever for when we actually get to meet and hang out with all the ROs.
>>3797131youโre talking about the band of teens that were the first to be kicked out right?
G was more disappointed at them being kicked out because they were well young and reminded them of him or her when they were younger, and wanted them to stay so they could protect them from predatory managers who would take advantage of their naivety and stupidity to have the band do shit they would be uncomfortable with (and yes that implies advantage of them sexually) just because they think that would help them advance to stardom quicker
it was implied that Gโs manager provided them with drugs and alcohol when they were underaged, so maybe they didnโt want the same to happen with them?
and being in the show would mean that G has an easier time to watch over them, cause when they were kicked from the show after their sudden death match, G was described as being sad, if you were using someone just for their body, I doubt youโd be sad that theyโd be leaving
>>3797135For me it isn't really about those teens. It's the fact that G's supposed change of heart comes a little too late for it to matter - they still constantly use their status and influence to get what they want (like MC participating), same goes for their wife. Perhaps now G feels shame for acting poorly, but I am pretty sure they weren't that different from manager that controlled them. Now he cares and is concerned, but he probably has much bigger skeletons in the closet than he ever talks about.
>>3797138>they still constantly use their status and influence to get what they want (like MC participating)well yes, in Gโs mindset thatโs how they think they help these younger bands out that he feels have potential to make it big, like how he uses his influence to have to rig it in MC and his band favor during BOTB(or more specifically in that case to spite his rival) but this time he couldnโt for whatever reason (his manager most likely) and feels sad and regretful or whatever
>>3797147I think it's probably just the presence of far more drama on the set together with Corey. Victor also seems to like G a lot less now.
Well I'll be, posts getting deleted. Seems a bit of a scattershot, but I'll take ANY activity at this point.
Anyway, do any of those older 'Choice of' games hold up? You know, Vampire, Robots, Deathless, etc.
>>3797172I liked the great tournament
>>3797172Deathless holds up quite well. Robots was hailed as a classic by Tumblr back in the day, but I didn't really find it or Magics by the same author particularly enjoyable so your mileage may vary.
Vampire is very much a breadth over depth game littered with stuff like being able to become a Freemason but ONLY if you pick the right vampire dad AND pick the right dialogue option out of dozen mutually exclusive ones. Far more about le HORROR of American history than about actual vampire stuff, which is a bit of a shame given it's about the only vampire game that actually does justice to your immortal lifespan.
Sweet baby Jesus, did that faggot finally got banned? Even his earliest post ITT
>>3795123 got deleted.
Thank you Mr Janitor.
>>3797185He gets banned on the regular. For some unknowable reason the thread quality skyrockets for several days whenever that happens.
>>3797172Deathless was pretty good, both parts. First one is easier to game, second has more interesting setting and hook. Robots, though... I did play them, but all it boiled down to is me raising a robot in a setting of cardboard cutouts and enacting asian ethic purges despite having Vietnamese name.
>>3796052 Kek, so it was him after all.
>>3797187Sure, but in other cases, the last 5 of his posts are deleted and he returns after 48 hours. Now, even his old posts are wiped, at least from a cursory glance. I am starting to hope it was a rangeban.

hey why don't you stay on topic? why aren't you talking about AC?
(was the update that trash? lmao)
>>3797180>Far more about le HORROR of American history than about actual vampire stuff, which is a bit of a shame given it's about the only vampire game that actually does justice to your immortal lifespan.Choice of Vampire is literally just Vampire the Masquarade but set in 1800s instead of 90s.
>>3797189He is not wrong though. Cultivation games are literally the sloppiest of slop catering to dumb shounen power levelfags, having none of the interesting aspects of taoism present at all. Albeit, chinese slop doesn't have that either.
>confirmed that the AC hater is a homo and a pedo
Oh no!
>>3797195None of the VtM games go into detail about actually living through your immortality (Redemptionfags need not apply with their lazy timeskip) and thus I'd play it over any of those. It also is genuinely more of an American history game than a Vampire one - though that has its own appeals like getting to become a Klan founder kek.

>>3797206Interesting idea, I might make her a tertiary villain in a side quest if you didn't deal with her through the corruption quests. I need to find some non-corruption exclusive content too
>>3797217Forgot to be tripping. Since I'm here anyways, with chapter 9 finally being the part where I can break into side quests for fun, does anyone have requests?
>>3797218We still need to give a special sword to a certain thief.

During the Dragon Trial I fused with that spirit and aside from insight and AP boost, it should have unlocked something else in the menu, I guess? I'm not sure about it.
Make people at the Tiger Trial react to you wearing weighted clothing.
>>3797218A Mina sidequest maybe?
Maybe something fun like a dance contest or a singing contest, something comfy.
Mother and Father content is quite lacking.
>>3797222>Make people at the Tiger Trial react to you wearing weighted clothing.+1 point for this to compensate for "cheating" the trial or to beat Brass Tiger
>>3797223>Mother and Father content is quite lackingWould be funny if you could give them a training regimen and a big pile of shards/some treasures. Even if they're not joining the big leagues, you'd at least want them to not be completely powerless.
>>3797226>+1 point for this to compensate for "cheating"At the very least the judge should call you retarded for that.
>>3797228kek "what the fuck retard why are you cheating just lose the fucking weighted clothing idiot"
>>3797180Very much agreed with the summary of Choice of Vampire, ESPECIALLY how big of a shame it is that it's the only game that bothers to cover a suitable length of time.
It's such a waste, to tell a story about an undying monster and focus on like... a week of their life, or a month tops. I mean I understand that (un)life comes at you fast and it has higher immediate stakes which translates to an easier story to tell, but... there's potential there for so much more.
I used to have this pipe dream project of a CYOA wherein you play an investigator who is turned by the serial killer they're pursuing in the 1800s and stay on the hunt over the centuries for one reason or another, but... well, I've realized that I'm not that good at writing, really. Certainly not writing dialogue that feels real, at least, and I feel like that would be vital.
>choice of vampire
Play the superior vampire game, "The Vampire Regent".
>>3797234How so? It's an entirely different thing vibes-wise.
>>3797234choice of vampire was pretty good though
that soldier you embrace that shortly suicides by the sun later because he didn't want to be a godless leech was really surprising
and for me at the time, really showed that not everyone would view immortality as a blessing
>>3797236It's made by based retard Zaper, our local brazilian anon.
>>3797239>tfw eventually there'll be at least several authoranons in the thread, me includedThe tone of Vampire Regent seemed far more centered on burden of ruling, control and tardwrangling. Choice of Vampire is more akin to Vampire Chronicles - it's more of a melancholic tale about an immortal being that has no reasons to remain mortal in mind. Evil pays, kindness not particularly.

Is it over? I'm not even doing anything or playing something else. I just don't feel like it.
>>3797261Anon, It's not tiredness, I've been this way for like two weeks and i've been doing plenty. It's just that I never feel like playing it, whanever I try i just go "Ehhhhhhhhhhh" and I go do something else like reading a manga or trying to finish my long-ass castanor campaign.
>>3797258For me it helped to try and do something in this medium myself. Try to sorta-kinda balance out the consumption.
Thinking about a liberated and free tierra that doesn't inevitably become the bitch nation of the elf fags or the asi*an snakeoil salesmen...
>>3797218Since you can have a pirate crew, a hat and a fleet, you should be able to make a pirate raid on the Callous Armada. You can make it a boring non pirate raid for moralfags.
It would be a good use of all those ship stats going forward. Also fix the issue of not being able to call back the fleet if you have no available ships.
>>3797364Never happening unless they invent bane nukes, assuming Wang doesn't hack it up even more with even more non-sensical geopolitics.

Can you only earn one extra point in the dragon trial? If you eat the spiritfruit and dig the shit with guiren's boys are you supposed to end up with 9? I know the variable is broken but I'm curious, I tried to see if you could earn an extra point in the rabbit trial besides the running but I couldn't find a way.
>>3797559Who gives a shit about infinislop anymore? Until there is a caz_kill variable the series is dead to me.

>>3797591The Tremere are pansies. They do not count.
>>3797593London, Las Vegas, Paris, and Marseilles are canonically are almost free from vampires too. And also they forced the Sabbat to leave internet and go back to analog era
How do the different factions in the wod even interact with each other? I know there's spells and shits but the only thing I ever hear about the setting is the damn vampires
>>3797591>having to strawgrasp V5>modern day glowniggers>obvious inside job>not a single important character from there is ever actually confirmed to have been killedand that's why you'll never be more than a scare we feed to the fledglings sis
Wait there isn't a anti supernatural beings agency that was literally controlled by Vampires how they fumbled so bad that know vampires are a known threat for the almost all the world intelligence agencies and are actively hunted down?
>>3797597Vamps and woofs repeatedly try to kill each other in the wilds even if you only take Vampire books. Mages are plastered on and just sort of there, although Technocracy is somewhat related to Woof's Pentex. Fairies only started appearing after moon landing. Hunters hunt mostly vamps and woofs.
>>3797606Guess I'll stick with warhammer for "real world setting but fantasy", vtmb was good doe
>>3797597They ostensibly do, but in practice not really because every single splat makes itself out to be the most important thing in the world, so much so all of them inhabiting the same world makes next to no sense and you'll barely see any cases of them actually interacting in the lore you're provided. That Tremere were once part of the Order of Hermes doesn't really amount to much more than background trivia. Technocracy is the only real outlier and even then it doesn't really come up as often as it should with them being the actual NWO.
Bloodlines gives the newcomers a wrong impression by actually managing to put multiple splats in the same basket, and it only really does that by basically omitting everything about everyone who isn't a vampire. You'd never know all the Captain Planet nonsense Werewolves are all about from it.
>>3797613Damn thats a real shame, the interesting aspect of settings like this to me is how faction dynamics work and how they all fit in the normal world.
>>3797610Warhammer is medieval, though. I like WoD because of the fact it's one of the few well-known tabletops set in modern urban age - it's main issue is the fact their writers are boomers and have no idea how to balance internet and globalisation with the existence of vamps and masquerade breaches. V5 tried, but tried is a key word - they just tried to remove phones as a given thing.
plus warhammer fanbase usually proves even more cancerous than either of dnd ones
>>3797598Well now explain how all London heavens were burned down Bloodsucker
>>3797616Unironically the Camarilla would be exposed as soon we entered in the internet era and the Reckoning would be already happened
>>3797616The fanbase is definitely hit or miss, considering the setting is "finished" it doesn't grow a whole lot so the fans are usually older and kinda cunty cause no one plays the tabletop anymore. I think the setting is amazing despite that decades of books and setting fluff to flesh out what is basically fantasy tropes dumped ontop of stereotypes, the faction interplay and interactions is what I really like, that character showing up in giantslayer was awesome.
>>3797619I mean, given how much shit is in the plain view and people still either don't know about it or don't want to know about it, I think they have a chance. Glowies all over the world have their messes in the front and no one gives a shit, imagine some Langley finding out you can be an immortal glowie - they would not miss the chance.
>>3797619WEF agenda is in plain sight and people still refuse to do anything and will pretend like it doesn't exist or can't be done anything about. Camarilla has centuries of experience to boot, they would be able to hide easily even in the digital era.
>>3797593>>3797598Yeah I figured it'd just be snarky dismissal, classic vampfags
>>3797597>>3797606>Hunters hunt mostly vamps and woofs.In the WoD core rulebook, before you include splats like Vamp and Woof there's also just a lot of other odd ghosts and ghouls that go bump in the night. From what I remember reading when I was a teen.
>>3797610How the fuck are those even comparable?
>>3797613>basically omitting everything about everyone who isn't a vampire. You'd never know all the Captain Planet nonsense Werewolves are all about from it.Isn't that basically how the splats deal with the other factions?
>>3797637Ghouls cannot exist without a vamp, revenants included, so I typically count them as vamps too. The ghosts, though... they were implied to be about as rare as demons in OWoD, no?
>>3797638I think they were pretty rare yeah but I meant 'ghosts and ghouls' as more of a catechism for all kinds of things that go bump in the night.
To be honest I really only remember a handful of of those short story excerpts from the rulebook.
All very flavorful. Off the top of my head
>A local lake associated with a disturbingly large amount of disappearances for a body of water so relatively shallow>An investigative journalist that's entrusted with a wealth of collected data on all kinds of urban legends and unsolved crimes>A man being haunted by a spirit/demon/curse tormenting his inner thoughts until it has a 'oh fuck! WAIT!' moment in the seconds before the guy kills himselfI think listening to the podcasts in Glenkildove were one of my favorite parts of the game. WoD is much more interesting when it isn't Vamps and Woofs all the time.
>>3797644I think the more interesting takes on vamp happen when the Masquerade is actually taken seriously and works as an active threat. Swansong had its issues, but the threat of the Masquerade and hunters felt like it actually mattered - my favourite segment is still Malkavian protag running away in fear after getting branded by a True Faith priest. If you're insulated from consequences of fuck-ups or they end up feeling incredibly gamey, it doesn't really work as well.
>>3797218Just finished reading, loved your work. Aoyusumu is truly becoming holy cinema. At the moment I can't even think of much to criticize; only 2 things come to mind.
I believe it's after you start falling in the volcano and you hear the prayers and begin the process of the transformation, it's written that then the mc starts 'laughing maniacally' at a certain point. I don't think it fits the.. style? or the moment in question for the style?
The other is at the end. I don't know what you have in mind for/if any possible consequences of telling or not telling, but couldn't there be an 'honorable' option of telling Khan that you can't tell the whole truth because it puts a mark on him or smth? Then it is up to you if he pushes for the truth or decides to leave it at that.
Side content, idk.
For aoyusumu, if people will start viewing the mc as a saint, the temple could approach him with a simple request? Maybe even just PR. Since he's broken at the start (right?), it gives room for some unpowered content and at the same time it could start delving into temple politics/problems/lore.

>>3797637>Isn't that basically how the splats deal with the other factions?They do kinda simplify the involved splats to a similar degree, don't really ever involve them to the same degree and in the same variety. Bloodlines lowkey had a veritable parade of various splats, while in your average game you'll only really interact with your own and its relevant designated enemy faction plus maybe an occasional hunter or such.
Anyway, I'm more talking about the impression of WoD as a setting that Bloodlines gives being far more cohesive than it actually is. The splats are very self-absorbed and the more you know about each, the harder it becomes to conceptualize them inhabiting the same space. Hunters are pretty easy to slot-in since Hunters Hunted that begat them was a subsplat book to start with and as such they don't really have a cosmology and metaphysical gimmicks of their own hence why Reckoning that attempted to give them such was promptly ignored and discarded, but with something more fleshed out like Werewolves pieces just don't really fit together without very aggressive homebrewing and pruning on your part - at which point those aren't really the Werewolves for Werewolf: the Apocalypse.
The powerlevels are out of whack anon. You're too strong, too fast imo. I guess it has to do with the White Tiger so hopefully you can expand on that later.
>>3797222yeah the weighted clothes thing at tiger trial feels too perfect specially if you upgraded them/that accessory from helping the merchant
>>3797218Have jade dragon mc be able to manifest a jade aura in the limitbreak version of the jack fight, maybe you left it out for some specific reason though, it's not like the latest batch of content is particularly lacking in jade chad reactivity.
>>3797247+1 mao bonding quest, getting on his good graces is actually really interesting, I don't think we've seen him ever interact with his son once and I wonder what their dynamic is like specially if you end up in the top 5. Mao was actually chill when giving you the rundown of the top 5 when you first arrive.
>>3797743Maybe add a variable like "jadesuspicion" or something like that when you flex your aura to peasants. That Keiko gal already suspects you're one though.
>>3797747That'd be cool, I wonder what the archonate/imperial judges would make of that, wish this setting had a wiki or something.
>>3797629some think "camarilla = conseravtive!" and that somehow these traditionalists wouldn;t survive in the modern times
in fact it'd probably be easier for any camarilla and anarch vamp to uphold the masquerade in the modern times, anything could be explained away with special effects, maybe AI, props, or a even anon calling video proof of a cam vamp stalking and feeding on an innocent and calling it fake and gay
>>3797218Is it possible to change your Foundation? Maybe when we get to repair our cores we could also change it. Is it possible?
>>3797824Based funhaving ESLteen.
>>3797824this would be painful to read were it not for me knowing his discordfags are even worse
>>3797824all right Iโll admit I was wrong, theyโre probably not spics
but theyโre definitely poos, soโฆ.
>aura poos:/
>filipino tranny calling people spics and poos
Nigger you are brown.
>getting this asshurt at being called brown
seems like I hit a nerve there :3
i had thought the flip tranny was being a petty and a retarded faggot when he said the writing was shit, but holy shit it's bad can see why an ESL would enjoy it
>brown esl AC pedo finally got banned
based jannies :3
>>3797865While it might come as a shock to you, turd worlders still try to rank each other on which of them is the most or least humanlike animal.
>>3797888he got really mad when I labeled all AC fans as poos based on that cog post
poos are the most insecure you know ;)
thatโs why theyโre always on other boards, specially /pol/ going on about
>muh aryan heritage
lol
anyway that aside, the writing in AC is really getting really bad, and the sex scenes are just downright horrible
discord has really been a net negative for the game and his writing unfortunately
>>3797879Why would they not know what an olive is? Cultivator worlds usually have all earth things, just also cultivator versions of them. Spectral tigers, 1,000 year ginseng, fire lotus, etc.
I am sure they could have some kind of olive of calm which helps regulate emotions for a period of time, hence making it a good gift to mend relations. Turning into the saying about extending an olive branch. Would be much more interesting than a 4th wall breaking joke.
>>3797893You're from a mountain town in the middle of a backwoods province

>>3797988Jacob trying to flirt with Bella by mentioning how they used to make sandcastles when they were kids looks pathetic no matter the gender combination.
>>3797992not really?
>heโs a nice and gentle boywomen still go crazy over that, and there wouldnโt be no edward v jacob if they all thought the latter were pathetic
>>3798003I mean, I'd still prefer film one Jacob over Edward, but Bella acts like an x (the board) refugee for the first half of the movie. He's too normie for her. Plus the sandcastles line as his first and only attempt at flirting when he's a poor amerind boy living in a fucking reservation, and also a dog.
Normie poor guy whose attempts at flirting end at sandcastles or a mysterious guy who doesn't try to woo her by mentioning childhood games and also gives her something to chew on mystery-wise, what a choice. Bella only started liking Jacob when he stopped being a normie.
I've got to say Aura Clash was the power fantasy horny slop I expected, but I will give it one thing.
It was actually really funny. I laughed way more than I thought I would.
"Deal." You say, handing over a small pouch of 9 Shards. You start to wonder how you keep doing that. How many pouches do you actually own? How are they always available for every transaction? At this point it feels like you're jynxing yourself if you check
redditors and ESLs find this humorous....
>>3795111 (OP)Can I lewd her?
hey as soon as the brown AC pedo got banned hundreds of posts were deleted lol
New aura clash is out right? What's the password?
>>3798135Those were from when the retarded faggot got banned, you can see it here: https://arch.b4k.dev/vrpg/thread/3795111/
Just Ctrl+F "deleted", 30 posts of nothing but seething about AC. You'd think Anon is paying him to act as a reverse psychology shill, just pretend to be really annoying while hating on the game and maybe people will want to play it to make him seethe more.
>>3798142>>3796147
>>3798143got no skin in this argument of yours, but a good chunk of the posts deleted were from your discord pal too

>>3798149yes, not all thirty posts were the fags

>>3798151He doesn't sign all of his posts, just most of them. It's probably the faggot falseflagging again like the posts linked in
>>3798144 pointed out
Or are you suggesting that the jannies decided to delete all of his posts and one random reply while leaving everyone else who'd responded untouched? Their hand could've slipped, I guess.
>>3798160>janny wakes up>deletes posts>janny goes back to sleepWhat's so hard to understand about that? They were all posted after the nuke so now we have to wait another three days for the janny to wake up again.
I don't understand why you're so invested in this, we know from prior threads that he's a falseflagger and a samefagger. Is it so hard to believe he did the same this time?
>>3798162anon i don't know why you're projecting, you're the one who even brought up the flip in the first place

You're just mad you're not making 2k dollaridoos by writing gay erotica. You could try your hand at writing, you'd actually make some money off of the average cogite. That's like 4 times the average philipines salary per month right?
>>3798213I was kinda mad there was no jade interaction with the daemon, I thought theyd suck up to you surely. Wonder what happened to the clown

>>3798229There are a bunch of femcel-targeting WiPs that don't even make that much. Nobody should be looking at doing this fulltime unless they're a giga-autist like Wang, a schizo like Malin or they actually do live in a slum in Rio. Two grand a month for something you can easily do on top of your salaryman job isn't bad.
i doubt the dude who wrote this is a father of two or works a federal job

>>3798226Dios mio...
>>3798220Yes boss.
Patch planned for monday night will break saves. Next update will be a cut content update with the three missing companion quests and some cleanup.
>>3798255Are you adding more jade dragon interactions in the early game through the cut content (similar to the boar scene)? There's so many jd interactions in the new update it really stands out in comparison to the rest of the game
>>3798255The weighted clothes tiger trial suggestion was great imo too
>>3798255Don't worry about it, fags are incapable of empathy, logic, or other higher reasoning. As the original anon who asked for Jahi sexo, you're doing a great job.

>>3798247You are not really shocked by this, are you?
The local faggot's been seething 24/7 since the AC update dropped.
>>3798255The next update will be of smaller scope right? Ofc you don't have a date in mind yet but it should be a shorter wait than the half year chapter 8 took right?
>>3798238>it's campy but he knows his audience cuhyes, that much is true
>>3798268The wind interaction there is better
>>3798263It's bad because I don't even mind ' :3 '. They're kinda cute and we both share a love of twinks.
But fuck if the back and forth doesn't get tiring.

>>3798271umm bestie you shouldnโt have said that, now theyโre going to think weโre the same person or theyโre going to sperge out at you know :/
>>3798255Loved the jadechad content anon, keep adding more!
>>3798274oh and
>cultivator anon lives in caliso maybe I was right about the mexican thing lol
>>3798254It's fun. You can be a war criminal, you get a demon tulpa in your head, you can constantly manhandle and bully your androgynous (femaly) sorcerer LI, there's also a fae hag and my perfect birdwife, Syfyn. The companion interactions are actually good because they'll take into account your character's personality and how they've acted previously, so scenes have a lot of variation for which of you is more dominant or passive, it's more you can say for most WIPs. The game wants you to be angsting a bunch over some shit but you can just go "I'm a royal now and this is awesome, actually". It's great.
can you stop with the back and forth?
all of you are gay aids, discord faggots, now can we talk about games?
>>3798281Sure, let's talk about PoMA
>>3798281Uuuh, is anyone gonna try out dispatch when it launches? Do telltale style games even fall under cyoa?
>>3798282What's there to talk about next update is like 2 months away because nicky has 2 side projects. Seriously how are the "activities" still a wip placeholder, I feel like mechanical stuff like that should be figured out earlier. It's funny that the fujo events don't take into account Ruo's gender so people are shipping a straight couple throughout the school tho
>>3798285Yeah, me neither.
>>3798282Nikolai got mogged really hard by anon.
>>3798283They shouldn't, they make barebones point and click adventures. Dispatch on the other hand is whatever This Is The Police counts as, neither being a cyoa. The demo was okay though.
>>3798283>Do telltale style games even fall under cyoa?i don't see why not, considering a tale of heroes and samuel h young's games are on CoG
>>3798291college tennis
that's it
>>3798283>Do telltale style games even fall under cyoa?No, and Dispatch is just a management sim, not a Telltale game. That said, I'll still play it because it has Jeffrey Wright in it, but going overboard with celebrity casting and marketing is rarely a good sign.
>>3798291College Tennis is really good although I don't understand or care about tennis.
>>3798292Someone write a ncaa one NOW
>>3798291Slammed! is the good and not gay wrestling game.
>>3798291is street racing considered a sport?
there's an awful WIP about street racing https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/velocity-the-race-begins-wip-140k-words/153114
it's really bad and well, it seems to be a caricature based on california in the 80's i assume
So what do >we think of the alchemy rework
>>3798291Did that esports one ever get off the ground?
>>3798303lol nikolai killed it to replace it with korean boss CEO simulator (that will also be killed)
How many hours does Nicky have in dota?
>>3798304>korean boss CEO simulatorAs in, you are the boss or you're working for the boss? Because if the latter, I'd totally play that.
>>3798286It would help if he knew what kind of game he wanted to make before he started, yeah. I still remember when he originally wanted to make it mostly free-roam. Isn't this the second time he's fully restructured the game by now?
>>3798288I agree, Nickybros must hide their faces in shame. We'll see if it makes him put out a good update for a change.
>>3798309>We'll see if it makes him put out a good update for a change.at this point, I doubt. the guy has a vision, and his vision sucks.
>>3798306you're the actual boss
>>3798309I don't know I only read it recently, I like what is there a lot it takes itself a lot more seriously than ac and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I just wish it were more focused here and there, stuff like the arena earning notifications showing up long before they're availalbe, the wip signs plastered everywhere, the branching paths seeming too ambitious makes me think it's not ever gonna get finished and if it does it'll have north of 2 million words, we're at version 0.2 something and it almost a million words already, scary. A bummer because I really like what is there.
>>3798312DOA
Thanks anyway.

>>3798301Nothingburger since a lot of other things got buffed and the Jack fight is easy still.
>>3798255You fucked up when coding the +1 skill from reaching 3 alchemy. If you reach alchemy 3 or higher in the prologue before you can learn techniques, you permamently miss out on a bonus skill point. I assume the same would happen with a free core when reaching alchemy 5 or higher too early.
>>3798255>Poor reading comprehension in a reading-based genre is something anyone else would be ashamed to admit.Being fair, that's entirely on you for wording it in such a poor way. How are we supposed to guess that FemMC actually means FemMC players?
>>3798313It is supposed to be getting finished relatively soon - the tournament arc was previously stated to be the end of the first book. There are still two more books to go supposedly though.
>>3798336You should check yourself for autism.
You might be qualified for more convenient parking space.
>>3798338>you're autistic if you don't parse "female main characters ask for more" as "female players ask for more"Don't use words to signify what they're not meant to.
>>3798344>you're autistic if you don't parse "female main characters ask for more" as "female players ask for more"Correct.
>>3798348America is really a living crime against the English language, huh
>>3798327I'd say the angst gets Hyuga-tier incredibly quicky. When it was a CoG WiP, I dropped it when MC was busy sitting in jail after being forced by the narrative to be a retard. Together with a snake that I repeatedly shat upon and who now tried to say that I, a man who got stabbed in the ribs for my trouble, was somehow in the wrong. It was very slow and very boring.
Seething was fun, though. My MC was a constantly high-strung emotional violent rager whom everyone kind of tried to ignore and sorcerer somehow wanted his dick even harder.
>>3798330what is the current general combo for autists then? cause I heard sealsmaxxing got kneecapped
>>3798375Dunno man I'm a jadechad.
>>3798375Not nearly enough, you're still aura farming by going seal mode
>>3798375It's still shard cycling as a merchant, it's weaker now but nowhere near as kneecapped as alchemy. Now instead of putting everything into handseals, you just go to 5(+a handseal) and put other 5 into alchemy to occasionally slurp up 60 extra AP per soul treasure.
>>3798378>Not nearly enoughwhy?
>>3798380People still use it instead of cheating outright, so it wasn't severe enough for the discord trannys liking
>>3798336>How are we supposed to guess that FemMC actually means FemMC players?Because od the content. The feMC does not ask for more in the writing.
>>3797248Let them contribute to the clan too, as a counterweight to Jin and Rin. If you've got Chu's cookbook, make the mother improve the retainer strength a bit. Give your father unique scenes depending on his profession.
>>3797508It didn't change much during our discussion with Khan or Keiko. I expected they would react strongly, like Khan complaining you knocked out Jack but being happy to have two Thunderfallers in top 5, for example.
>>3798387And how would one know that without playing it? And don't give me the "you should", because an out of context quote like that can give the wrong impression to people who haven't played it before, and that's the entire point.
>>3798387>you just have to play a patreon-locked (at the time) update to make sense of an author's public comment in a way that is opposite to the first glance readingI hope you do realize how silly you sound.
did any of (You) have much success in acquiring region points?
with sacred lands I only managed to get 1 point when I ignored the shit flinging between jack, goro(?) and the woman and just left. i tried to act in accordance with what was expected but got no results, or at least it wasn't announced. even when I defended a weak group of martial artists that were about to be abused I got nothing
>>3798398I think that whole region points thing is getting canned, feels like it does nothing.
>>3798398> "I've just received word the Bladed Lands has given bonus points for cleansing the land of a Wight. That answers that, folks! The armored contestant appears to have been a Vessel, but he just couldn't keep his spirit in check! Luckily such reckless endangerment couldn't stand up to the might of a potential future Archon!"
>>3798401This from the dragon trial dude?
>>3798398If you look at the code you will see that points are distributed by a lot of actions that are hidden from the player.
For example, during that confrontation walking away gives you sacred land points since they don't like random street fights, and covering Leona's butt gives you blade points while taking away wild points and vice versa.
>>3798402Yes, when you visit cystal lake, you are attacked by a wight. If you beat it, you get bonus points, prestige and AP, obviously. After that, you loot its corpse for a healing elixir, low grade fortitude pill, 287 silver pieces and a spirit jar which you can break, sell, keep to make a wight of your own, or dominate the spirit yourself. If you do, you unlock Vessel Status, get extra AP and 1 point to insight.
The narration makes it sound like Vessel Status is a special ability but it doesn't show on your character info or cultivation menu so I'm not sure if that's broken or what.
>>3798411>If you do, you unlock Vessel Status, get extra AP and 1 point to insight.Not just that.
If you have wind, it raises it up a tier. if you are an akakirukek, it raises your style up a tier.If you are using mortal limits mode, it removes mortal limits from you
>>3798416Holy fuck, it's already a big power up even without passing any of the extra checks.
>>3798424>Jack needs to be Blessed by the Saintsโข to compete against you
>>3798416So is Akakiru the only style that can advance three times?
>>3798428Anyone that's either a wolf yokai, a kiihakai or an aoyusumu can unlock and pick Earpiercer in a fight against Jack. It raises your style up a tier when focused, so anyone who can get it can get to 3 rank ups.
Wolf akakiru user can theoretically use it for a 4th rank up to hit the highest tier.
>>3798429Thank you anon, very cool!

>I'm going to emphasize a few points before you start. For one, the gender of the mc is going to be male, as that is the way I have wanted to interpret this Jane Austen novel.
>Two, the mc can be customized to the player's choice, but this does not include his ethnicity, since as a lover of history I want to stick to reality and history.
This new WIP is pretty interesting, the prologue's somewhat overly long, but the bits after are interesting and the author is pretty based
Being able to roleplay as the most desirable man in England, all the while broing it up with Bingley and Mr. Darcy was not a power fantasy I knew I had until now
>>3798484You should change the LLM you use to shit out shill pitches.
>>3798468DA:O - Awakening
>>3798443Such a great way to roleplay a plucky son of a bitch. Anon, if you are giving jade cucks reactivity, add some for mortal realms breakers as well. It's only fair.
>>3798484i will try out your game
>>3798488be nice, cultivator practically begs for interaction and attention on here and reddit, orc chad and cybermerc anon are the only ones that put effort when they bother to post
Is project Hadea or any of the itch-slop IF's good? I see them get shilled on reddit sometimes but the only one I actually tried was wayfarer which was good, but definitely was written by a they/them
>>3798608I remember discussing Hadea with someone in previous threads. MC is a retard, story is railroaded as fuck, the only good character is a (wo)man who can carve you open like a chicken and the story has been on hiatus for past five months. Outside of that... I haven't really seen any outside of very small projects like the snow shoveling mecha and a game where you need to fill out a dictionary by relying on context clues.
What's the password for the AC update?
>>3798608>Is project Hadea or any of the itch-slop IF's good? no
>wayfarer which was goodactually, you might like itchslop since you have shit taste
>find an itch game with an interesting sounding premise
>it takes fucking forever to reach what is basically its equivalent to forming the fellowship of the ring because several days are spent over the MC just angsting their way to getting hired to the job, and then the story constantly switches to the perspectives of ROs a million miles away from MC, whose issues are irrelevant to the MC's currebt issues and is just the two ROs angsting/arguing with other people over having to meet each that other RO again
>also you're forced to cut yourself because of your angst
I swear to fucking god, it's like the author wanted to write a book but then added meaningless choices to pad the thing out so they can fish for Patreon gibs, except the fucker doesn't even have a Patreon, and they mean to make the thing a trilogy too
PoMA update soon, Niki will DESTROY you chuds now.
>>3798964I hope so I want to go to the festival with Ruo already damn you Nicky
>>3798964Yeah, how? By making MC job harder than ever before and claiming that's good writing?
>>3798647>woman who can carve you open like a chickentell me more
>>3798986its been a while, but the lasting impression left on me before I dropped is:
you are this marvel, top of the line agent, with a new onboard computer inside your skull for even extra knowledge, performance and reaction time
but ofc, none of that matters when the plot demands that you need to go down (by someone you DID notice) and FUCK IT if it makes sense of not
>>3798985>young master from the X family with godly physique and heaven-envided talent only beating up nameless fodder and intajobbing against anyone of plot-relevance yet still actively deluding himself he's hot shitit is good writing doe
the only things that are lacking are a personal hypemen posse and getting NTRed by the real MC (Ai is shaping up to be that though)
>>3798999also
>your god given power? everyone now has it
>>3799002>the mythical White Tiger?>everyone can use it lolThis is the same as AC though.
>>3799002I mean qi feels like an implied "open secret" among the big shots of this shitter world when last I read it doesn't feel too bad specially with the rogue clans stuff
>>379901312 Characters apparently but yeah touche
>>3798999But the real MC Meimei already exists
>>3798255Anon, could you make it so that for Herbalists, we are not forced to immediately ingest the special pill like what you did with Memorywell Elixir? It makes a difference for the Mortal Limits playthrough.
>>3799002I do think Qi being more accessible to others is a good thing in POMA, since before the twist made it look like even the hundred years old elders who could move continents were ultimately scrubs who were trained wrong and not worth your effort. Making it more accessible, even if only you can truly excel at it, is a good thing for things to remain challenging at least with how it is presented
>>3799013compounding issues and the difference lies in the theme
that entire planet was built to be harvested. they were given incorrect knowledge and trained wrong as a joke for generations. this was the one perfect chance to give the mc his own thing, his own flavor to the fights, but ofc you can't have that
white tiger? we barely know anything, but to me it sounds less like 'qi' and more like 'possession'. but even if it is just qi I will still stand by this
>>3799013It's the opposite, it's not a god given power to the mc that makes it unique, rather something that they will manifest once they come out on top.
>>3799019she's the stolen one though
>>3798986You are an amazing uberimplant uberagent who gets fucked over by a laptop bomb despite having uberarmour. You are forced to go into a bar and meet pretty suspicious (wo)man. If you flirt with them and end up sleeping with them, you will wake up while they're busy carving out an uberimplant out of you and the second uberagent will worry about MC potentially being raped.
>>3798411>Vessel Statusin-universe, is that good or bad? morally speaking
and could there be any future pitfalls or once you dominate it he becomes all yours?
>>3799033>What Lore 3 tells us about Wights.[Lore 3 Check Passed]
You've heard of Vessels before. You and Kosuke even discussed trying to become one. The idea is to seal a spirit into your Cores and allow it to grow alongside you, doubling your growth and increasing your power.
It's one of the few known ways to surpass Mortal Limits.
You search through the man's belongings to find any clues to how he handled such a power.
>If you decide to give it to someoneYou toss the spirit into your pocket and smile at the idea of having such a powerful minion.
[Item Gained: Spirit Jar (Wind Vessel)]
Whoever you shove this spirit into will become your next grand champion. You consider Mars or Sum Yungai, or maybe even Kosuke, but decide against it. It's best to try a nameless minion considering the high chance of losing them.
Sure, you can threaten to kill the Wind Spirit again if it turns your minion into a Wight, and you've proven you can, but this is a spirit you're talking about.
Rational thought is not their forte.
If you just subjugate it yourself, it seems docile enough. The game doesn't warn you about being an outlaw or anything unlike when you become a blood cultivator. It's worth noting that Taio mentioned Blood Wights. Also, during the trial, Bladed Judge goes out of his way to investigate the blood cultist at the graveyard but for killing a rampaging Wight, only gives you a point so my guess it's a practice tolerated as long as you don't fuck it up.
>>3799033The game and the Taios warn you about it being dangerous and failing the check to control it is an instant game over. I'm guessing it will sporadically come up to try and take control again whenever you are open.
>>3799032>If you flirt with them and end up sleeping with them, you will wake up while they're busy carving out an uberimplant out of youThat's my fetish, picked up.
>>3799035>>3799042It's a tough cookie to pass, those extra tier points are far too tempting..
>>3799035>The idea is to seal a spirit into your CoresHmmm, when your cores break, shouldn't the spirit be released? Unless they need to be destroyed.. but then it would prob kill the spirit too?

poma drop, safe to say auracoons get to keep their cake
>>3799069I think you do not lose cores, they are closer to deactivated or permanently spent, like after surging. Even during the last part of the fight you get extra cores.
Ever the sorcerer, you refuse to give up the Gate's final fumes of energy on some meager attack. That energy is for your growth, not some short-term benefit.
[Power Core +1]
Instead you channel your mystic training and enact vital handseals for one last spell.
>>3799076Hell, you can even spend AP to get more cores after that.

>aura poos not even talking about the game

THe bad thing about aura clash is that i'm too lazy to play it several times for every single girl's romance route, but at the same time the 'harem' path isn't a choice because it makes kosuke hate you.
>>3799137>it makes kosuke hate you.Not really, she just wants to be compensated for it.
>>3799137She works through, but I get why you would do that, the scene where she confronts you about it is really good, made me feel pretty bad

๐
>>3799138>>3799140>cries her heart out and is clearly heartbroken>decides to stick with you because she doesn't really have any other choice if she wants to have a powerful family, but starts demanding to be paid for itAnons...she doesn't "work through it"...she basically fell out of love with you and decided to treat it like a job.
>>3799137While I will invariably play a shameless asshole who cucks Kosuke and makes her the least important concubine, I dislike harems and hope there's consequences for it. Or at the very least, make those that stay loyal to one girl get extra combat points for her and some bonus scene.
>>3799143Kosuke knows her lot in the world don't worry about it
>>3799137Romances are gay and retarded anyway I just play it to punch people
>>3799144I'm not even sure how is a harem possible/viable considering the archon's life. Most of the time, it seems, you will be somewhere far away from home.
>>3799137People actually care about any of that /weg/-tier cast?
>>3799137Bro, just make Kosuke a Bro. Problem solved.
I'm sure he'd even still bottom for you if you asked.
>>3799149>women are attractive>"this is just like in my pornography!"KEK
>>3799137Don't worry, she'll feel better when I crown her Top Wife
>>3799143I don't think she falls out of love with you; it clearly damages your relationship but it's not it becomes purely transactional. It's just like when some rich asshole forgets to come to dinner and buys their wife something expensive to make up for it. It's a shame there's no option to tell her I was going to give her all that cool shit anyway.
>>3799155Sounds like cope, bro. She literally has a whole thing talking about how she hoped that you wouldn't fall under the trick of wanting to take a bunch of concubines like every other rich cunt. Saying she'll feel better if she gets a bunch of expensive stuff isn't going to mend that.
Until I can see a scene that shows otherwise, cucking kosuke destroys your relationship emotionally and makes it transactional.
>>3799156She has a woman moment. So what? The moment you put a baby into her she'll mellow out. This happened to me.
>>3799154I was talking about how all of them are one-note tropes, but thanks for sharing your feelings.
>>3799158>Cheating on your childhood friend and destroying your relationshihp because lolNo, anon. It was YOU who had the woman moment all along.
>>3799156It's not a binary. Yeah, you're not as perfect as she thought you were, but it's not like it destroys your whole history together. She explicitly tells you she still cares for you greatly.
>until I can see a scene that shows otherwise, cucking kosuke destroys your relationship emotionally and makes it transactional.Now this is pure speculation. It is explicitly not purely transactional as shown by the game, wouldn't it make more sense to assume that until you have a scene that shows otherwise?
>>3799162>She explicitly tells you she still cares for you greatly.She says that she pretty much doesn't have a choice other than sticking with you because she still wants to have kids that are born noble and you're the only one that would accept her.
Imagine cheating on the best girl or boy for a retarded dog or a woman who's better written with fMC.
Pretty sure anon will just write her as happy and it'll be fine.
>all those replies mere seconds apart
how organic :/
>>3799166>Pretty sure anon will just (opposite of what he's done)
I'll just still stay faithful to Fang, have 20 puppies with her, while femsuke watches from the sidelines
In the future you'll be able to fuck Keiko and the Archon with the icy sword (who's a Jade Dragon btw).
Imagine being kosuke and seeing who you have to compete with. She will be hurt, she will still love you but she will accept it.
>>3799163Both things can be true; like I said, it's not a binary. Rightly or wrongly people forgive each other for shit like that all the time. I think it can an interesting depth to her relationship, the contrast of the perfect storybook romance if you stay faithful or cheating on her and working through it.
>>3799168>people's feelings are immutableAre you actually autistic? A lot of things would make sense.
>>3799171As I've told you before anon, unless I see a scene that shows any of that stuff about her forgiving, accepting, and still loving you, it's just cope.
>>3799170How do you know this?
>>3799172The game is not done yet anon, I bet my left nut there will be one.
>>3799174I doubt it, this game isn't exactly a soap opera guys. Just take kosuke at her word rn
>>3799172Like I said before, until I see something that confirms your speculation it's just schizophrenia.
>>3799174I'll be waiting then.
>>3799179Is anon just spewing book 2 babble there?
>>3799170>KeikoThe woman we meet at the end? She's a high noble who admits to having been spoiled greatly. I don't think I would want to park my car near that..
>>3799176>this game isn't exactly a soap opera
>>3799173Not him but in the code there's a Keiko romance variable and one for an unknown character who will most likely be your archon teacher.
There's also one for the fox slut if you need to know.
>>3799183Does Goro have one? Femmcs probably would kill for a jack goro dynamic
>>3799179grim, discord fags have completely taken over
>>3799176Heh, good one anon.
>>3799169>I'll just still stay faithful to Fang, have 20 puppies with herHoly BASED
>unironic discord fags
why not just discuss your faggy game there instead?
>some retards makes stuff up
>you all eat it up
kek
>>3799185He walks in a circle around you, eyeing your every curve. "I can see why Jack wants you as his rival. The oaf must be thinking with the wrong head. Good. That only makes it all the sweeter to take you from him. Next time you see him, tell the [i]boy[/i] that your rivalry with him is over." He finishes speaking as he waltzes in front of you again, then he steps closer and cups a hand under your chin. "Because you belong to me now, [i]if[/i] you prove strong enough to survive."
Anon sold out to the Twilight audience.

honorable mercy bros... whens our content?
>>3798366>dropped the game literally moments before it gets goodI mean, I don't know if I'd say 'good', but that was the worst/angstiest scene in the game and it got much better afterwards. It helps that immediately afterwards you stop being treated like such a leper.
I played the old CoG demo and the Twine remake and it found the new version much better. Maybe it was choosing different dialogue options but the angst wasn't anywhere near as bad, you still get it sometimes and have some PTSD episodes but on the whole I found it a lot more tolerable. Choosing to just be a war criminal helps.
>>3799198I had this bratty gf who seemed to have a problem with my gentle nature
One day then I simply asked if she wanted me to hit her. Picrel is literally what I got
>>3799210I find the snakes the worst part of the game. Doesn't help that they're too ugly to be pretty snakes.
Keeperxisters...
It's LITERALLY over...
>>3799230Nothing happened. It's over still.
>>3796023Yang: Fire, Storm, Light, Wind, Water
Yin: Earth, Darkness, Ice, Water
>>3799114Anon, about this scene
Your foot collides into the Mystically infused kickball with enough force to burst the enchantment, blowing it back at its attacker.
The Monkey Yokai's eyes widen. He throws both golden-glowing hands forward to catch his own attack.
His look of intense concentration drops, replaced with a grimace of pain, when your energy blast hits his groin.
The shadow of the kickball made for a great distraction.
Can you make an honor check that when passed changes the attack from balls to solar plexus or anything else?
>>3799224Definitely the least engaging of the major characters for me too, but fucking with them is still pretty amusing. You can pick the war criminal background, try to kill the guy when you first fight him, and then later on try and befriend him like it was no big deal while he's constantly weirded out by you.
>>3799247When they're ugly, I mostly want to immediately snap their necks. Fucking with the sorcerer is funny because of their seethe and because they're pretty. Snakes are ugly and mostly annoying to me - doesn't particularly help that the whole thing is caused by MC freezing in front of them like a retard and getting stabbed.
I think cultivator anon just has a spit fetish desu
>>3799252And a loud sex one.
>>3799164Why would my character ever cheat on his girlfriend Leona who may not even think they are in a relationship?
>>3799251That's fair. Eh, PTSD gonna PTSD, I thought the scene worked well at establishing that even crippled and out of practice you're still way out of league apart from your mental illness while still letting the sorcerer show off and get you out of there. The sister even mentions that you would've ripped her brother's arm straight off if you hadn't been stopped (at least for wolves, I don't remember if the other options differ), same with being able to fight them to a draw at the parade.
Bullying the sorcerer is great, but I still like fucking with the snake guy. I just think it's hilarious that his relationship description is "he hates you. He REALLY hates you" and you can just constantly mess with him by acting like his backstory is completely unimportant and it's no big deal. I picked the war criminal background where you treated the slaughter as a game and went for the massacre high-score, so it fits.
>war crimes war crimes war crimes
Who let reddit in here?
>>3799264MC has been ruling armies and only left because his powers went rogue and he's slaughtered your entire regiment - MC has fits of rage and maybe, optionally in most cases, disgust for things he does, but never again does he freeze. Seconds before the supposed le PTSD MC could have busy heatbutting the snake and falling of a window while grappling him. Why freeze? Because he said that MC is the Deathless Demon and a killer? Sky is blue and grass is green, what a fucking revelation. It's a plot contrivance to teleport MC close to the royal capital and get imprisoned there. It's worse than the ITFO dagger moment.
>>3799252He writes every single female character as a masochist (including the female PC), subbros STARVE in AC. Good thing Nicky has us covered.
>>3799307You can always just rape Bo Lo if you are really desperate.
Any way to see the code for Aura Clash? I want to use it to plan builds.
>>3799378Cogdemos has the scene files for free build. Otherwise you can save the page as a html file and open it in notepad.
How do you pick up light element in AC?
>>3798999>it is good writing doenah
>>3799307>He writes every single female character as a masochistAnd there are no words to describe how boring that is to me
But I don't want sub content (though it'd be fine for variety, I suppose), what I want is just a straight up sadomasochist, if EITHER of us isn't fucked up by the end it's simply not worth it
I want Lovey dovey nakadashi with a side of handholding and marriage.
>>3799476As of now, the only way to get it is in the temple in chapter 3 where you pick one element. It is still the only element without an alternative way to get it so it will always be a Yin element even when it's technically a Yang one.
This should be one of the things Anon has to address when he adds back planned content.

Making a mix between Degrees of Lewdity and Fallen London (without actions) in Godot with hotloading of every single data structure from json files so it's basically an engine for those type of games at the same time.
Everything loads in memory correctly already, so I'm gonna be working on the UI soon (UI is gonna be hardcoded for the first release).
Here is an example of how you can add items to the game, as you can see it's piss easy. Eventually gonna support loading mods from separate folders/data overwriting.

>>3799559So, exactly like Markek?
>>3799656As much as I am disgusted by this loser, I am even more appalled by the monopoly of CoG. 20% is daylight robbery.

>>3799658Never look up what the percentage's like in book publishing proper bro. Especially for someone with no previous publications.
>>3799689It's a relic of the past when books needed to be printed, transported and stored in proper shops. All of these generated costs. It should change now, I agree with that, but ever since the internet became a common thing, we've seen a surge of self-published writers, with a lot of them getting commercial success. Today, book publishers don't offer much, but you are not reliant on them either.
CoG doesn't even have their flimsy excuses. They provide you only with their pathetic "engine" and offer to negotiate with steam on your behalf, none of these excuses the exorbitant amount they demand.
>>3799691There's a huge gap respect-wise between selfpub and traditional authors. Like, sure, great, you have a patreon and sell your shit, but you'll never be considered a proper author and get the slice of nepotism pie. IF industry is fractured and pretty cliquey, so having the benefits of nepotism is always nice.
>>3799691You're also forgetting the fact they also put you on the main mobile stores (which is coincidentally where the majority of sales come from btw), offer an advance like with book publishing if you go through CoG brand and come with a pre-packaged audience, the second being a major dealbreaker.
Self-publishing sounds nice on paper, but that's before it fully sinks in there are very, very many smart people like yourself and instead of growing to accommodate you the market just spreads thinner. E-publishing prices are low to start with, most people buy your stuff only with a discount and the store also takes its cut (last I read Kindle took the cake with taking a 65% cut if your book is priced below 3 bucks, which it usually is when on sale) and unless you already have an audience it's a 99% chance of just drowning in the sea of schlock without even an advance to console you for the time wasted. Even if you do have enough people willing to buy your stuff it's not really that much money. 4k quarterly off a book is already enough to put you in Kindle's top 10% sellers, and that's at the release sales peak that'll soon peter out.
>>3799691>CoG doesn't even have their flimsy excuses. They provide you only with their pathetic "engine" and offer to negotiate with steam on your behalf, none of these excuses the exorbitant amount they demand.The ONLY reason to use fucking NIGGER LANGUAGE and NIGGER ENGINE which is FAGCOG is the free exposure it offers amongst the TRANNIEST, FAGGIEST, SHITSKINNIEST community which is cog forums. Kicker? If you're against the party line or you do something which happened in literature for generations (write an if where you fuck a loli for example)
If you're not a total nigger faggot you can just write your own engine like I'm doing which takes a lot because my fiance found the folder and kicked me out
>>3799710W-what folder anon?
>>3799711the attention whoring one
>>3799709Don't be ridiculous. Marquis and Wang, the one of the most well known CoG authors live beggar lives while Wayhaven author harvests fat stacks of cash from patreon only. What's half a dollar per sale when you get 10k monthly?
>>3799713That basically proves what if you want to make money from CYOA you have to write a glorified datesim for twilight-girlies.
>>3799713Wang isn't that well-known outside of his autism reservation. Even Bacon is more popular than him, and same can be said about Marquis. Truly well-known authors for primarily CoG, not HG, don't particularly note any money troubles because they write for better-paying subsection, write a lot and know what's popular.
>>3799713The main problem is they treat writing like a fulltime job, which it is not. A productive career comes first, THEN a self-indulgent hobby like the arts.
>wang
>popular
>well-known
just what makes someone think that? if that were even remotely true, you really think heโd be begging for scraps?
>>3799729the forum has a separate subforum for infinity discussion with hundreds of thousands of posts at this point
>>3799729He also didn't make a Patreon for the last ten years and releases games in about the same gaps. Marquis at least releases more often than that. Somewhat.
>>3799729He has been around for over a decade and has released 7 games. He is more accomplished than nearly every author who worked for Hosted or CoG.
>>3799731from the same usual autists thoughbeit
wang himself probably has about a thousand posts there
>>3799733tbf about the patreon thing, patreon came out when he first released sabres, thereโs no way he couldโve known/expected it to be the cash cow for content creators as it is now
>>3799737he sold out to just to pander to juan jose of all people lol
>>3799713Thats because their games are covering a shot niche compared to Wayhaven who cover the women, and the romance gooners
Cultivator anon, I loved the update, great stuff. I don't have any complaints. However I have a list of feedback and requests.

>>3799749I'm an Avachad and I am completely done with the franchise.
>>3799786just so you know for future reference, if youโre posting on here, then youโre most likely a small (and loud) minority and most likely not the target demographic of mishaโs
>>3799790Well that's for sure.
>>3799794So I noticed that Tales: Choose Your Own Story was removed from the App Store, was it recent?
>>3799786>oh look a kuudere RO>actually just a retarded autist and will they won't they patreon scamgenuinely don't know how wayhaven got away with being so popular when one of the romances (which romance is the entire focus of the series) refuses to progress. legitimately in one of the "books" it ends with it literally regressing and the RO reaffirming they shouldn't be involved with the MC because a fortune teller said so. in the latest one the MC gets to fuck the RO of their choice, except for ava/adam of course where its another fuckinG "Share a kiss and then immediately clam up and shun you" scene jesus christ. and A being worried that (s)he would end up devouring the MC in sex because magical crackblood scent too strong is also bullshit since the other vamps fuck the MC no problem.
>>3799749Wang even said he earned double/triple from his CoG Mecha game than Infinity. The series just isnt a draw
>>3799817He should write Mecha kino then.
>>3799816>where its another fuckinG "Share a kiss and then immediately clam up and shun you">implying my equally autistic Detective's ass even got a kissI would be shocked if they fucked anytime before book 7 desu
>>3799820Jaun posting has given Wang's mind the dopamine illusion that Infinity is worth investing in
>>3799820Why do you think he's writing the WoD game. He knows it'll net him more than Infinity
Why do you get more AP by stealing a part of the grim mask when Angelo defeats it than by burning it to ash yourself?
>A is for lovestruck yearning detective
>N is for honest and kind
>F is for fun and teasing detective
>M is for shy detective
>>3799713Yeah, and as you've said it yourself, she's earning them off her patreon, not the actual sales. The only actual way to make a living off is to gather plenty of paypiggies giving you monthly slop tax and its magnitudes more convenient to poach such off CoG. The sales themselves are just a bonus.
>>3799817You got it scrambled. He said Mecha Ace sold more than the Sabres and Guns combined at the time (Before Lords and he's gone to say it beat it since), but since sold it for a lump sum that covered his student loan he didn't get a penny off those sales.
>>3799848>implying personality sliders do absolutely fucking anything
>>3799835He's literally only writing it because CoG paid him enough for it to last through the dev cycle of Wars without working on anything else and without living like a monk again, as he said himself. I'd also go as far as claim it will in fact sell worse than Infinity because Night Road is the only one that got to make bank off all the tourists, with all the following WoD titles including Marquis's own not performing particularly well.
>>3799870>all the following WoD titles including Marquis's own not performing particularly well.No wonder they don't sell, they're boring and shit.
>>3799870>sell worse than Infinitynot possibly., outside of the 700 autists nobody gives a fuck about Infinity
>>3799870>>3799875couldโve sworn wang himself said the infinity series in total sold abysmally, Iโd wager pon para sold as much as the infinity series in total
>>3799880That was said when doomposting before Lords released and Lords derangement syndrome hit places like reddit. He went on record it's his best-selling title a few months after release. It even earned him enough rep that just saying "I'm not gonna start on Wars when I'm broke" doubled his patreon earnings with nothing still being locked behind it nor even being in the process of working on an announced game people are invested in.
>>3799871Glenkildove is fine yet still somehow underperforming in a year with next to no other releases.
>>3799903>>3799871>>3799870Night Road let me be a Vampire doing Vampire shit with a Vampire the Masquerade stat sheet. No others do that. Parliament of Knives switched me to the jarring CoG percentages screen, Sins of the Sires had a bouncer ask for my pronouns on page 5 after trying to kill me, and I don't want to be a gay broke failed werewolf or a no-powers hunter. They need to focus on Vampire the Masquerade without trying to make it something else, and they need to hide as much of the v5 rot as they can. Night Road is the only CoG+WoD game to get it right.
>>3799912>a no-powers hunterthey worst part of any hunter media is when the humans have powers. Makes them no different from the beasts they hunt

>>3799938Highlands is decent lovecraft horror with schizokino if both of your agents lose sanity. Obsura only has one pretty design in the entire game, which is typical for otome. Heart of Battle is absolute dogshit, though, don't be scammed into buying it - I pick an old powerful man and immediately get constant talks about power imbalance instead of a romance.
even that slave training game by fenoxo gets more into the question of power imbalance between a master and a slave compared to this game

wang is based for catering to his own /his/ war autism. I fucking love petty bickering nobles and them dragging the entire country/continent into it so much bros
>>3800199His patreon posts are apparently mostly about his fresh new Napoleon war IF. Which he called Shadow of the Eagles.

>>3800219It's most of what he produces as an author. The only exception was Kendrickstone, which was shelved.
Wait, did anon still not fix alchemy 3 not giving you the stats it's supposed to if you get it before the training arc?
>>3800276Oh, wait, he did. Sorry anon.
>>3800214No idea where you're seeing 0083. Down to the setting it's literally just 0079 except Zeeks aren't space nazis, Federation are French and you're playing a Char instead of autistic child soldier number 136265. You even have him copypaste a not!Zaku background for his not!MS.

Did He appear yet?
Having played the AC update a bit I definitely like most of it. Feels like there's lot's of choices and options. I even managed to not get top 5 in my first play, but get it the second time and don't really know what I did different. Anyone manage to get ahead of Jack? I also like the alchemy nerf. Puts it a bit more in line and makes the choice between Alchemy and other stats more interesting, though not feeling like a god anymore is a bit sad. I did still manage to get 4.1k AP though, anyone got more? I was wondering if some of the jade foundation interactions, that apparently were added with the update could instead be hidden interactions you also get with very high AP.
I don't really like the handseals nerf though. It wasn't really necessary, cycling falls off anyways and is kind of a random hardcap. There also still seem to be quite some bugs, in my play the ships I sent out had some weird stuff going on and I almost never got the salvage boat I was supposed to. I have to say I also REALLY don't like the fight against Jack at the end. The pacing is too much all over the place when you get to the tree and there's Leona, then Sakura, then for no explicable reason suddenly Jack. Also the fight feels really, really hard scripted, to the point it doesn't feel like it's my character fighting against Jack, but the writer. There's almost no real hard checks on combat cores and instead it's just asspull gallore with no player interaction. Also really overdoes the "he's dead, no he gets back up" gimmick.
>>3800348Did you have craft 3 tho?
>>3800383Dragon Trial scoring was broken anon just rolled a patch so you literally couldn't get into the top 5 if you didn't console it
>>3800387I could do it day one but I only played as a Jadechad.
>>3800384Yes, I think it bugged out when I had all ships sent out and sold one, so it went to still 7 out and -1 available.
>>3800387Ah, good to know. Is getting ahead of Jack possible?
Oh also, what do you need to do for 8/7 in the rabbit trial? I got it sometimes but didn't understand why.
>>3800389Winning the race is the only way to get 8 in the rabbit trial as far as I'm aware, I tried finding another way because killing the dragon is just too cool but had no luck.
>>3800392There should be a check that let's you win the race after killing the dragon, that's one thing that I felt was missing. Like the 13 it checks is super easy to make, he could check for agility + athletics 20 or something for that. I did get 8/7 without winning the race though I'm pretty sure, as I had the dragons soul treasure. In the second half I got it when I went through the river or the woods but not when I went through the middle iirc. (sad because the middle gives you 80 AP)
>>3800394Really? man guess im playing through again now that the saves broke just to check if you're right
>>3800389Nah, Jack's ahead of you for now.
To get 8 in rabbit trial, you need to both finish the race first and get 2 people to willingly give up to you - each path you can take has a different method of making that happen.
>>3800389>Is getting ahead of Jack possible?It's not, crazy considering you can get get up to like 28 points and he ruined his dragon trial score. How is he pulling 10+ points out of his ass to say ahead? Hell, how are the top 3 doing it too?
>what do you need to do for 8/7 in the rabbit trial?At the very least I think you have to team up with Des and enhance her ritual to get 4 points in the first half, anything else will get you 3 at best. Not too sure about the second half.
>>3800399Trust your speed brother
>>3799114Crafting the Jian from the Lightbringer's soul treasure does nothing. No weapon appears in your inventory. Also, is there any point in that talisman you get from Guiren's quest? You can't equip it or anything.
>>3800402You can use it in the Jack fight for some free AP
>>3800396>>3800398>>3800399I got a save with the 8/7 and the soul treasure, though can't take a real screenshot since they're never in the menu together. I noticed my trial score is 7/7 when I'm in the pocket realm and jumps up after. On the save where I went through the middle it is 6/7 initially for some reason.
>>3800402If you use it on Jack, his combat stat gets lowered which I assume will make future fights with him easier. It's kinda redundant if you kept the talisman from the fight against Taio because Kurokonton transformation will let you both debuff him and steal his technique.
I guess it's more valuable for non-ninjafags
we should've listened....
>>3800409How do you unlock that option again to break Mao's heart that you were only pretending to have quit, and are secretly still part of, and loyal to the sect?
>>3800443Have max 1 deception when you come back from dealing with the farm bandits
>>3800443Fail a deception check after the fight with first Taio
Lunargoths are finally strong.
>>3800460What does the cavern thing do for them?
>>3800466Lunargoths can cast a special ritual, in my case for 4 components. One rune is in Nanhou, the second in a cavern. Each gives a bonus core and skill point when active, in my case it was Agility and Soul, Lore and Insight. You can customize the rune in Nanhou though.

1m word game so soon after Stars Arisen is wildly impressive. That's almost Orcbro's speed. Hope it's good.

>>3800570It's mediocre unless you side with your evil star mommy who did nothing wrong. Every reason she has to hate the commoners and rubes is justified and, to a point, the author allows you to agree. I'd recommend this game instead, looks interesting and possibly not romance focused since you're a ghost, which is a plus for CoG.
>>3800569>>3800570Star Arisen sucked ass and this is no different, author did not improve in the slightest

>>3800151Mecha Ace wasn't even all that. I don't know why you fucks love hyping wang when he's not even exceptionally good.
>>3800606MA gets praise because it's literally the only game in town if you're looking for that sort of mecha (legally distinct Gundam) in IF. Stuff like Ironheart or Choice of Robots just doesn't scratch the same itch.
>>3800518>Wouldn't you rather pick options that are fun instead of optimal?Optimal options are fun

>>3800573>and possibly not romance focused since you're a ghost, which is a plus for CoG.I tried the demo for the first 4 chapters and it does feel mostly story focused yeah, there were only the occasional option to flirt or get romantic.
Though that being said the game does establish fairly early on a way for you to come back to life

Slay the Princess is good though.
>>3800570It was pretty decent if you focus on figuring out your familial mystery while trying to follow mom's plans. I've managed to make her a just and kind ruler and reunite her with the dad - it's one of the few games where being genuinely kind felt actually honest and genuinely helped the immersion.
Could also try Heroes of Myth, it has a more interesting gimmick. The main issue is how two out of four LIs expect you to sympathise literal demons.
>>3800608There's Magikiras, but if you don't romance Morgan, why bother.

>>3800782I went through the event and I got the runes, but the text is pretty wonky. Why would I be dissapointed when I am a Lunargoth? I can use runes.
>>3800780"Lunargothic old ways." Rufus says. "We were fortunate to have two Lunargoths in the island's first Dragon Trial seed, for legend states this lost power will only work for my kind. The secrets we seek are said to be the method that the original Lunargothics used to coat their body and weapons in enhancement chi."
*if (race = "Lunargoth")
"Oh." You say, disappointed. "Nothing useful for me then."
Rufus offers a sympathetic smile. "Now the ${ymaster} sees why my fellow soldiers have such permanent frowns." He shoves a thumb over his shoulder toward the Human woman and Oni man in his matching black and red gi.
*else
"Oh." You say, pleasantly surprised. "So it's something I can use."
Silly mistake, luckily doesn't change anything.
Is the 8th dragon trial point available only if you can punch Sakura?
>>3800780Lunargoths aren't real! They're an invented race!
>>3800799Yes, so only Midoritakai and wolf yokai can get it. I like that it's not simply available to everyone, you can already get a extra point in the trial if you know where to look but it is slightly redundant, why play a wolf as anything other than that? Is anyone even using a wolf as something else.
>>3800816>extra pointFrom the demonic cultivator guy? I didn't get that one.
>>3800816Yeah they're using wolf yokai to get to kitsune kek
>>3800816>>3800818I think its bugged?
there's one with the demonic cultivator and another if you take a bath in a lake(?), where the confrontation makes the announcer appear nude
>>3800818One from it and another if you fight Leona at the hotsprings. However, it seems she doesn't ambush you now unless your relationship with her is low, so you need for her to dislike you.

>>3800891I prefer Herbalists and I'm happy we've got tons of cool stuff.
>>3800897Ah yes you can sell Sprite now very cool!
>>3800897The roc is just too cool to pass on imo
>>3800901+7 commerce and prestige is nothing to scoff at. The pill getting buffed is also neat. Critical success when digging with Fang is cool. And that on top of other smaller bonuses here and there.
>>3800904I agree that Trapper is the coolest background but Herbalist is the silent powerhouse.
>>3800897I am the bone of my nail.
>oh no! the consequences of my retarded actions
based, more games need choices that lead to consequences like these
>>3800906>+7 commerce and prestige is nothing to scoff at.Merchants get more just by existing, except in our case it actually translates into money and thus into power.
>>3800918>forced to be a kuronigger to min maxKEK
>>3800919>imfuckingplyingKiihagods benefit the hardest from merchant money influx
>>3800918I can buy everything I want.
>>3800921Explain, I'm a kiihachad so I am interested in your wisdom.
>>3800923Same business as usual since going Kiihakai means going handseals which means big number from shard cycling. It capping off at 6 just means you can put a few spare points into alchemy (which our unique technique buffs anyway) making herbalist redundant,
>>3800916nah mexi- a lot of brownoids love their power fantasy, so games like that wonโt be as popular as others :/

It's really hard to make friends with Guiren and the gang if you are a good guy, if you help Desdemona and are not a Kuronkoton. How can my saint Aoyusumu chad MC make friends with him?
>>3800933Why would you want to befriend y*kai scum
he really is getting annoying with his shilling
>>3800935>August 2024Obsessed
>>3800939never getting updated (lol)
>>3800942how could this happen to us xisters...
>>3800937not even zaper is this desperate for attention
>>3800945WE like his work anon. WE are fine with this.
>>3800935If you were trying to find decent bait you could've at least brought up the regular shilling brigade in the xianxia threads, y'know.
>>3800945He can't keep getting away with it! Now go tell wang to finish the wodslop.
>>3800949>xianxia threadsKEK I'm the ones making them lol
>>3800949i'm not into that type of slop so i don't participate in those threads
clearly though, that shilling brigade is here as well
>>3800933I stayed neutral by not picking the tavern fight and that seems enough for them not to aggro the moment you appear. I even managed to work with them during the dragon trial.
>>3800949>the regular shilling brigade in the xianxia threadslol, lmao even
btw you all should play BoC
itโs really getting good, the dragon romance is a slow pace and is really adorable and wholesome :3
>>3800933The easiest way to do it is by avoiding the tavern fight by camping in the woods or choosing the side opposite of your style, since they will be forced to befriend you on the opposite side.

>>3800970itโsโฆ. currently in the process of a rewrite unfortunately, but the demo goes as far as chapter 5, so about 200k words I believe
>>3800970Typical twineslop, but with dragons this time.

Having sex with my trans dragon sibling...
Anyone knows that WIP where you are some demon prince or something like that and you team up with your childhood friend, a dragon guy and a bunny girl? What's it called?
>>3800988they still can never give normal scenes with cuntboys. it's always women with dicks.
>>3800994>cuntboyswomen
>women with dicksmen
>>3800995It's typically labelled as trans men and women nowadays, which is not what it should named as at all. Can't fucking find any good cuntboy content without trans man being slapped on top as label.
>>3800996You are a mentally ill man in drag.
>>3800998Why would he be wearing a durag?
>>3800998It's more likely a mentally ill woman desu.
are there any games out there with a good trans romance that doesnโt involve poly?
like I think that would be interesting, dating someone who is struggling by with their identity and encourages them to be more like what they feel like they are, or to discourage them from transitioning
or would that be too controversial?
>>3800998I'm not trans, lol.
>>3801001For what it's worth, Mortum from Fallen Hero is handled decently enough that you probably wouldn't know they are one without a romance.
although
>discouraginglol at this chud
never gonna happen because it's totally different from ROs magically morphing to your sexuality I swear
>>3800974How do you edit variables in the website?
>>3801003>mortumI got SO fucking mad. I was hoping for a cute choco gf and I got a tranny instead. FUCK.
>>3801004on itch? what i do is save the file to my hard drive and edit via a save editor like so here https://www.saveeditonline.com/
>>3801005Reality is mutable for a telepath..............
>>3801005She has all of the body parts. Doesn't really matter much if you don't aim to get Mortum pregnant, it's LA.
>>3801016>Sidestep>getting anyone pregnantkek
>>3801016Mortum is a greying creature, even if you ignore the whole tranny thing, there will be no impregnation going on there even if Sidestep weren't sterile
How did you guys take down the stuka? I'm at my wits end.
>>3801098>gives you +5 charisma if you fail the check at the partyhe's alright. kinda irrelevant in the grand scheme of things though unless wulfram decides to put him on the throne as a puppet if he wins
>>3801100>he doesn't know
>>3801108what, him running interference on team glowie? I doubt he could do *that* much damage.
>>3801100>if he winsHe won't. That whole path is an obvious bait and switch.
>>3801116RTI is financed out of his pocket, he's one of their top decision makers (enough to casually veto the guy who's supposed to run it), he's been playing both sides through Lords with sabotaging the Wuflramite pamphlet campaign for Miguel only to then send RTI on a goose chance figuring out Miguel's death enough that Isobel by the endgame is not entirely sure her source at the Inner Circle can still be trusted. Then in Wulframite epilogue, he both cultivates you as a prospective vassal and unsubtly alludes to being serious about becoming the monarch, even momentarily dropping the dandy accent for that.
>>3801003Mortum is also a black "woman" in "her" 40s. I laughed so hard when Malin tried to push that as an RO, then she said Ortego, a 39 year old childless hag, is young.
>>380114139 is kinda young comparatively to todays lifespan of around ~80 years.
>>3801141To be fair, she was only speaking about her own perspective as a 50+ something. In-game Sidestept chants "hag hag hag" every other conversation with Ortega.
>>3801154Not for a wife. The point of women is to be young and hot, they're entirely a negative at least 40% of the time, if they'd old and dusty too then being alone is better.
>>3801137>he both cultivates you as a prospective vassal and unsubtly alludes to being serious about becoming the monarchbased and even more of a reason to join the wulfram, iโd rather have warburton as a monarch over that dumb retarded cunt isobel
>>3800963>BoCFuck that game. I wanted chivalric romance with a blend of christian/celtic myths. Instead I got the same gay ass "I'm the unloved heir" family drama bullshit every fucking fantasy CoG keeps shitting out with a How to Train Your Dragon coating.
>>3801202Your fault for falling for it
>>3801202I thought this might've been malekith simulator and it quickly devolved into gay race communism and its consequences very quickly
>>3801202but the (male) mordred and gawain romance is so cute! and adorable :(
who reads these games for the story anyway?
>>3801202>gigafaggot shills a game>it turns out to be a faggot gameThe fuck did you expect?
>>3801210Twin why the fuck did you bring this up when its 2 hours long and midway a rewrite, despicable honestly.
>>3801213for the dragon romance sister! that alone makes up for the rewrite and development time right? :(
plus llama is pretty much done with rewriting the first three chapters, sheโs working at a good fast pace I think
>>3801215How long has this rewrite been going on for? The dragon is super corny icl
>>3801212I played that game ages before that fag started posting here cause I love arthurian myths. I'm just warning everyone else to stay the fuck away from it.
>>3801202I wish Guinevere got continued because it was my first WIP that I followed but BoC simply ain't it.
>>3801216a few months now, she recently posted a public update a few days ago in itch
the tomboy cut off her tits to dragon ride better, like that old myth of girls cutting off a breast so it doesn't get in the way of archery. that shit sucks. also the entire premise is dimished by the fact that the "destined outcast raised to hate everyone" has ample opportunity to make up with king arthur
>>3801220Been a long time since I played Guinevere. It wasn't bad, but it was super railroady iirc.
>>3801225I really, well and truly, don't understand why people are so obsessed with this dragon riding bullshit. Dragons should be evil beasts for me to kill. Save the mystical companion bullshit for cultivatoranon.
>>3801226It was the standard back then and the author simply give up after being demanded to make a branching routes. Many such cases.
>>3801227dragons are cool. also you wouldn't kill a Metallic dragon, right anon?
>>3801229Only if they're romanceable. What I can't stand are these disney dragons that act like pets or sidekicks.
>>3801225I ended up ignoring the tomboy because of that and am going all out in fucking Merlin's daughter
>warburton is only pretending to be retarded
say it ain't so. I don't need another fucking snake that I need to keep an eye on
>>3801241Saying you'd be a loyalist to him after the battle gets you a very interesting line from him, seems like it is that way...
>>3801241Not just another snake. THE snake responsible for the civil war kicking off.
>>3801245Warburton being behind the fire would be a twist, feels kinda perfect now that I consider it.
>>3801241bro even his introduction scene in Lords has him purposefully derail the conversation for the whole evening and force Wulfram into the cuck chair
>>3801262i don't exactly remember that exact conversation, but if he was distracting from politics I approve, I don't want to put my skin in the retarded dogfight between the crown and wulfram, and the longer I can put those too off the better. I do remember garret purposefully turning the conversation to politics later on in the dinner with cunaris and wulfram, probably so she could discreetly gauge the standing of the dragoon and the squadron.
>>3801266now that I think about it I think my main lords dude never even meets warburton because he's not disgraced and went to the veteran party instead to hang out with his old lts and a gay elf
>>3801210Are these routes open to male MC's?
>>3800707I just grabbed it during the sale. Haven't played yet. Is it really that bad?
Any suggestions or tips?
>>3801298Nah it's fine on the easy difficulty. I'm talking about hard difficulty.
>>3800707Game's easy once you get the hang of it. Here's some tips:
Up your crafting. It's your main way to make money and equipment.
Craft potent medicines. They're the single most profitable item in the game to sell.
Keep the knife you start out with, it gets you bonus leather when equipped.
Once you have enough points. Get to estoc and the fauld on startup. Estoc bypasses armor and you can one tap enemies with it. Fauld can be combined with gambesons for an early game armor that lasts you the whole game.
>>3801278yes
>BOCeven as a fresh faced young lad, unfamilliar with patreon kikery, I still knew this game would never get finished and two and a half years later this lazy bitch has only added one chapter
I can't force myself to finish The Book of Hungry Names. I cannot fathom how someone could turn werevolves lame and gay. I like Pon Para so it's not like the writer is terrible...

How many ways are there of breaking mortal limits in AC? I know about the Spirit & The Pill but are there any other?
>>3801564Redpill me on The PillTM.
>>3801567I won't, my babling roc is too much to pass on.
>>3801564If you are talking about the Earthly Prowess Pill, it doesn't unlock your mortal limit, it just adds a flat 100 AP so you are incentivised to keep it for when you are over 1200 AP.

>>3800404If you do well when Akuma Lords abduct you, you get an extra point if you are at 7.
So 1 for killing the drake, another 2 for finishing the race, then up to 4 if you find volunteers and the final 1 for sabotaging the Akuma Lords, 8 in total.

i had thought the fag was over-exaggerating or projecting when he said mexicans, indians or blacks were the main player demographic for this type of game or genre, seems like he wasn't over-exaggerating at all

Wtf, anon removed one of the soul treasures you get in Nanhou by hunting with Kosuke and the guys. After he already nerfed Alchemy... he's moving towards Nicky levels of spite for the players.
>>3801682Sounds like you need to be humbled.
>>3801678Her dual cultivation scene is in the code already, just inaccessible for now.
>>3801682Alchesissies and sealcucks had it too good for too long. We are now entering the age of athleticGODs.
>>3801692>pulls his audience from 4chan>had to purge his discord cause of cheese pizzalol, lmao even
mexican and jeet fanbase confirmed :3
>>3801692Playing pretend oppression is embarrassing. It's powerwank but blander. It has an audience. You will not attract everyone to cultslop.
>>3801692Bro no one fucking cares about your random off site drama screenshots, stop spamming this shit you mouthbreathing subhuman filth
>>3801695WE care about it
>>3801692>seething so hard at AC you have to resort to bitching on r*dditFujotrannysisters lost
I still blame the discord. Anyway, best way to pull demon slaves in Strive for Power? They seem to be pretty random as far as race spread goes - rare, sure, but more common than fairies. Still better to grind them compared to fairies.
>>3801692I'd advise the user to stay away. the cultivator IFs are power masturbation worse than Samurai of Hyuga, Wayhaven & Heroes Rise put together
>>3801699>I still blame the discordthis!
from being obnoxious about their sexuality, to posting CP and raiding various threads here and on other boards too, theyโre (un)intentionally poisoning the well!
>>3801699>Strive for Powerwhy would ever willingly play the shittiest slavemaker game ever made?
>>3801699You have three other boards to shill your weg garbage on, go do it there.
>>3801703Found it first. Are there any good ones?
>>3801705Previous threads had long-running DoL and Superhuman discussions.
>>3801703Post the better ones (this is not me arguing, I want them)
>>3801707Superhuman is (barely) ontopic, but slavemakers are as much cyoas as Nethack or rpgm games. Why do you even want to discuss it here? There are threads on other boards, surely you'll find a better discussion there.
>>3801685>Desdemona, Leona and Tian Fang give you all dual cultivation bonuses>The best Kosuke could give you is a mild diseaseWhy do we even keep the beggar around?
Anyone know what happens if you don't release Jahi at the start and instead seal him away? Is he just there anyways?
Also anyone managed to get the twins through the first 3 trials?
>>3801713In the last book, if you've stayed faithful to her for the whole time you will unlock the power of True Love and gain the biggest powerboost in the game
>>3801714>Also anyone managed to get the twins through the first 3 trials?Yeah just train with them
>>3801713I reckon the stronger your partner is the better the outcome of the dual cultivation. Kosuke is simply weak, too weak to be the only wife.
Mina double cultivation when?
>>3801714>Also anyone managed to get the twins through the first 3 trials?Yes, that's easy now after anon incorporated their combined combat check during the rabbit trial.
>>3801652I like taking care of the little tard, but I'm currently more invested in seeing what the fuck happened next to my MC, his dipshit BFF/eventual murderer and his bro's formerly bitchy, but now friendly gf.
>>3801707>>3801711Jack-o-Nine-Tails, Slavemaker, Free Cities, etc. are all preferable to S4P if still weg rubbish brutally mogged by every other era engine game.
>>3801714>Anyone know what happens if you don't release Jahi at the start and instead seal him away? Is he just there anyways?S/he never shows up, and instead we get some clown in a mask named Lost Jester. We have no idea what his deal is yet but him and Jack threaten each other at the docks of the dragon trial instead of Jack and Jahi. He also doesn't show up in the pocket realm when you're abducted so I think it really is a different person.
>>3801723That's something I'm curious about, what is his deal? Is he just not there if you've released jahi or will he show up at some point, I'm assuming jahi killed them offscreen but I wanna see what his deal is.
>>3801723It's worth noting that Jester and Jahi seem to have different personalities, though Jester may be Jahi, just severely depowered and playing things safe.
>today I will get around to enhancing weapon you get from guiren's mission
>giving the weapon a bonus to an element breaks the weapon and makes it no longer able to use its curse mechanic
ANOOOOOOON
Also there's +1 strength for kosuke mentioned when you pick herbalist specific reward for twins after their trial that's not reflected in the code.
>>3801723Jester is just a contestant with an entirely different description and powers. Hell, the average player will never see Jahi so Jester is actually the default.
What I doesn't make sense is why such a powerful spirit was haunting a house in the middle of nowhere, or are all demons capable of that power if released.
>>3801732>What I doesn't make sense is why such a powerful spirit was haunting a house in the middle of nowhereProbably for the same reason the first clone was raiding Thunderfall. My guess is they were looking for the White Tiger.
>>3801688Pretty sure HerbalistCHADS still clear.
>>3801747>two yang elements Tsk tsk
>>3801749It's better that way because Fire gives you +1 alch and Storm gives you +1 handseals.
>>3801749The yin talisman was still powering my wind one last I played so atm I guess element type really doesnt matter
>>3801685>>3801713I'm thinking about going no wife.
Considering how constant the job seems to be and how dangerous, if you truly want to do what needs to be done, then it's best you don't have too many things others can use against you.
Forget pussy, become a weapon.
>>3801754Dude you're a cultivator
>>3801715This would be pretty fun, but retards would complain about being penalized for forming a harem so it will never happen unfortunately.
>>3801747I would like to know what you did if you got these numbers without being a jadecuck.
>>3801715Iirc the last 2 books you play as your current mc kid, harem might be cool even if just for sibling dynamics. Those latter books are never happening tho keep it in mind
>>3801768Herbalist, end childhood with 4 alch, 4 persuasion, 2 handseals (and some other stats). Get Handseals to 4 with skill improve and learning storm element, do the early cycling with 4/5 in both persuasion and handseals, put everything else in alchemy (also got 2 in crafting and put whatever else that can't be put into alch into athletics, which had me ending up with 6 in that aswell). Ended up with 13 Alch that way (4 from childhood, 5 from skill manuals, 1 from having all handseals, 1 from learning the kiihakai technique, 1 from roasting the callous armada guy with fire and 1 from absorbing the scholar on the graveyard) and kept all the soultreasures to cycle them only once I maxed alch (with +1 for 14 with handseal).
>>3801720>dipshit BFFevery other scene with callum is just littering red flags going "this guy is definitely a sociopath" lol. "hey are we really brothers?" "yeah bro your my bro for life why do you ask?" "oh no reason haha" charolette is nice though, she's prickly but its fun to banter with her. though I think she's probably gonna reach an inevitable bad end because it feels like she cares more for callum than he does for her, and that bastard loves abandoning/betraying people
>>3801772I'll have to give it a shot. Having a hard time picturing the bonuses adding up to those numbers since alchemy is supposed to scale worse with weaker soul treasures.
Also it's a shame that the demonic cultivation technique that lets you trade health for chi doesn't work. I had a whole plan around grabbing all the "Wounds give you AP" techniques and just bounce between full heals in dragon trial, getting 100+AP per each heal
>>3801774With high enough alchemy + Herbalist bonus even the completely outdated soul treasures still give almost 100 AP and the better ones like 200 or more. I also did some smaller stuff, like getting absorbtion from beating enemies to 15 AP.
>I had a whole plan around grabbing all the "Wounds give you AP" techniques and just bounce between full heals in dragon trial, getting 100+AP per each healSounds epic, if it worked.
>>3801775>if it worked.As far as the code is concerned, it should. The technique itself causes a wound to generate 2 chi which would trigger all the wound to AP effects. The problem is that you can't actually use it from the menu once you get it from the dude at dragon trial.
>>3801774>Also it's a shame that the demonic cultivation technique that lets you trade health for chi doesn't work. I had a whole plan around grabbing all the "Wounds give you AP" techniques and just bounce between full heals in dragon trial, getting 100+AP per each healI'll patch that (patch the technique not showing, not that it's abusable. I thought this was a mediocre demonic power so finding a way to abuse it should be honored.)
>>3801790Keep in mind to also fix problems mentioned in
>>3801730
>>3801790Keep in mind to also stop baiting the bait on fucking reddit
>>3801790>I'll patch that (patch the technique not showing, not that it's abusable.While you are at it, you can make my future life a lot easier by letting me choose how much HP I want to trade in for chi instead of having to click through menus and trade them one at a time.
>>3801790Why don't you get to learn 2 more techniques after the rabbit trial?
unfortunately it's the beginning of the end for anon

he really should've reigned in his discord fags when he had the chance
>>3801797His mistake was kinkshaming the femcels for liking the dominating bad boy treatment.
Sometimes people just wants to be abused and obsessed over by a possessive evil dommy mommy or daddy
>>3801798it was pretty retarded of him to tie his main source of inconve, his art, and livelihood to his discord that seems to be a haven for chuds
why couldn't he... just not use discord? or use an alt?
>>3801803Because people would keep begging for a discord and it's a pretty clear way of making patreon more enticing, his comment on not moderating it is pretty interesting I can see his angle.
>>3801791Fixed the harbalist for 8.3 (I hate having to keep patching), will look at the issues with Shishido.

Wild that that thread derailed into "oh so you were anti-that instead of pro-that? well then you're still evil for saying your fans had bad taste!" Bro I tell my fans they're bad people every day. These guys clearly weren't in an inner city, the military, or even a house with a father. This is basic bants and I'll be getting worse not better.

>>3801799true. retards love junko
>>3801805>Where should you be learning 2 more Techniques?At "Seek out instructors at the Martial Demonstrations." training the techniques takes 1 day, so spending 2 more days in the city should give you 2 more techniques.

what does this have to do with you being criticized for your shitty writing and/or your hypocrisy when it comes to women liking red flag romances??
>>3801828>hipocrasyHuh? I insult my male fans for being gooners too. You being a moron is your problem not mine. See you in the next thread where you will of course still be seeking attention.
Alright, first time playing aura clash. What i have found out: humans: japanese, lunargoths: british, oni: blacks, yokai: ??? where are the jeet, latinx and sandpeople races?
