>>3458498>He didn't play mecha aceAlso:>That I can't deny>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qO_m-g1fyEKino
>>3458504I played Mecha Ace, anon. I am a Hawkinsfag and my craving for more wasn't sated.
>>3458498Guys, what kind of RO would you like to have if you could design one for any game?
>>3458506for me its wantanabe
>>3458508An RO where you organically develop your relationship from acquaintance -> friend -> gf/bf and not having to decide if you want to fuck someone after you had one conversation with them
I wonder whatever happened to that writer anon that said he was gonna make a cyoa where you are trapped in a body with 3 other voices. sounds like a neat schizo premise
>>3458508Autistic rival who creates a special bond with (You) and (You) alone through combat. I am very partial to their rivalry being either honourable or outright vicious highlander shit - anything goes, just give me something like Hawkins again. It was the first time I felt feelings for lines of text.
>>3458515They went on to write Slay the Princess.
Hawkins was boring and Mecha Ace was ass.
Fujo-chan, how do you feel about never getting your Hawkins art, yet Zaper getting his in several hours just because of a shitpost of mine the artist's seen on here?
>>3458524not her but I am mildly peeved. it would have been funny to see hawkins get topped by mc-kun
>>3458524Clearly I must either shitpost better or start learning art myself. The latter sounds like a more reasonable proposition at this point.
>>3458527>The latter sounds like a more reasonable proposition at this point.Verily so.
>>3458553I will be unstoppable once I'll learn how to draw my own yaoi. Speaking of yaoi, Whiskey-4 is entering its final beta test phase and if you romanced anyone but psycho ex, why?
>CoGtrannies>redditors>actual discord using faggotsBan these threads and everyone who uses them forever, nothing of value will be lost.
>>3458557Are you going to contribute or are you gonna bitch, anon?
>>3458555because I thought romancing the government shill might be interesting once she sees how shit her government actually is
>>3458560>contribute to my gay safespace!!!No. Kill yourself. None of you faggots even pretend to discuss videogames anymore.
>>3458564Oh, how does her romance progress? Anything fun?
>>3458557Oh my, you sound so upset! So hot! Wanna have gay sex!?
>>3458566I haven't played whiskey 4 in a while so theres probably more content to it now, but as is it was just some light flirting and then her slowly coming out of her shell of being the cold govnt agent that supervises you and coming to care for you. I'll probably do her route when it ends beta because I already have enough psycho with junko
>>3458572Is there any unique stuff in her PoVs once MC goes AWOL and potentially loses an arm? That sounds like an opportunity for a very big crack on her shell.
>>3458573I really can't remember if I'm being honest. I DO remember having a small moment with her in the ambulance after we saved her from being tortured and I think her monologue while she's imprisoned worries about whisky if your doing her route
Why would anyone be interested in bacon's shite after I, the Cutter One, gov'nor? I flatly gave out a grim chuckle, deadpan.
>>3458576I'll check back on the demo to refresh my memory, but I remember liking her, she's not an ass even if she's the force that drags you back into the conflict, and her not knowing about the laptop cognihazard thing left me with the impression that shes just someone who grew up on the propaganda and genuinely belives the system does good. she serves as a good foil to the scared cynic that whiskey often is
>>3458585scarred*
>>3458504In a time when everyone's trying to be morally gay and rivalries in japanese media are played out, this was amazingly full of so much soul and catharsis. It will be at least a decade before anything like this is ever replicated. And remember - death to lalafells.
>>3458553>unrestrained mental illness...As opposed to CoGer's restrained mental illness...?
>>3458598They're occasionally banned for rambling about how they want to scalp all cishets, so yeah.
>>3458601Well ain't that fucking nuts. You know, there's nothing inherently wrong with Discord or a moderated chat, because I do believe the heckler's veto is a real thing and your revelation is indicative of that.

Wow Zombie: Sage Haven is written by a fucking retard
Sometimes I get an urge to write. But then I jerk off and it fades away.
>>3458747I like it.
>>3458527Sorry to break it to you but after reading Mecha Age, it isn't ehhhh, exactly my thing. I think Hawkins is a bit of a disappointment for a character.Still, your dedication to Hawkins is respectable. Hope you can find an artist that share your same dedication.
>>3458498Conrad Zaar in Moonrunner does this after his first death
>>3458498As awesome as his fight in endwalker is, I think he should have never been revived. His original story was amazing and I always felt that everything after his arrival just ruined it. His entire endwalker story was just being some loser stalker and even his fight is just following you after you defeat the actual boss. A real disservice to his original character and story.
>>3458738logh cyoa when?
>>3458738Chud just means anyone that doesn't go along with trannyism. You're one too
>>3458800Eh, it's no problem. I understand its flaws pretty well myself - but things don't have to be perfect to inspire interest in them. Many anons like wuxia stuff and cape stuff.

is everyone here (and cog community in general) a wordcount queen? almost all of my cyoa ideas consist of games which are short but have a lot of branching
Thank you for recommending me Cyberpunk dreams fellas, I would have literally never played it in my lifetime had you guys not brought it up.
>>3459301My brother in christ, if you have a lot of branching you'll have plenty of wordcount.>t. 59k on current chapter and it hasn't really started
>>3459308Right. I tried some WiPs that have heavy branching, ~60k words and you can finish the latest chapter in few minutes. Kingdoms and Empires on the other hand has no branching but 300k words and it's so long.
>>3459310>Kingdoms and Empires on the other hand has no branchingIf it has no branching can it even be called a CYOA game?
>>3459341It has minimal branching, if I have to be pedantic. But yes, the author is not using strengths of the medium to tell his story. I could excuse it if the childhood was the only period we are as constrained as we are, and still think it could become a good game in the future if the author made the story less linear after the battle but it's probably unlikely.
>>3459304You're welcome. I hope you obtain a speck of enjoyment, as impossible as that may be.
>>3459367I am, I snuck into the city and am currently living life. I paid my rent in advance and I am currently trying to get into a fight club or equivalent. I started a fight in one of those places where you bet on fights and now I have some people after me.I am also playing a character who has that whole positive morality and just recently got the chance to reflect on my first kill when I first got in. I selected that I enjoy killing (due to my characters combative nature) and am waiting to see how those two traits clash with each other.
If I can only gain enlightenment in the morning. I’d gladly die in the evening.
>>3458498I really liked what they did in the finale. It may have been slightly stupid, but the whole finale was pretty much driven by emotion instead of reason anyways.

But when will I get the chance to [sip mei]?
>>3459626Hopefully soon. Nicky better add festival dates with other girls in the next update instead of kicking that can down the road.
>>3459346I would be totally fine with minimal branching if those were meaningful story-wise. But at the bare minimum if would have to pass a>if this were a novel, movie, or other type of linear story, would a reader want to write this branch as a 'what if' fanfiction?test. If it can't do even that then it's trash.
I know its deviating from the op topic, but are there any CYOA games where you can choose to dedicate yourself to a god/pantheon? big plus if there are multiple options to pick from and there some dynamics between what you did and didnt pick.

>>3459747wonder why you fags love to project some sort of undying 1000 year hatred in your desire to make teams
>>3459751People here have been seething about the gay forum since the first thread because of how braindead the user base and moderation are over there. You should have known by now unless you are a CoGtranny yourself.
>>3459754the forums are shityou however seem to do nothing but want to talk about those same forumspeople aren't seething about them since 90% if the thread is infinity and other slop discussionmy point is you seem to care more about hating the forum and distinguishing yourself from them in some retarded form of elitism than posting anything on-topic
>>3459755>my point is you seem to care more about hating the forum and distinguishing yourself from them in some retarded form of elitism than posting anything on-topicAs if you knew about my post history, you faggot. If you could, you would see that my seething about brownies is less than 10% of my activity here. Ever since these threads started, I have been given recommendations to new players, discussed the lore of my favorite games, criticized their gameplay, and so on. What did you do for these threads, what allows you to ride your high horse?

>>3459762That's not a good thing. Are you some kind of enlightened, skeptic horseshoe theorist? If so, why don't you go be "enlightened" on the forums instead? They need it far more - you're just killing these threads with your attitude.

We used to post the funniest bits from their forums but a newfag like you wouldn't know.
>>3460077>infinicancer and dramafagging about not!e-celebs
>>3460077There is a world of difference between posting funny bits and constantly thinking about them like you appear to be doing. I repeat, seething about them seems to be a you problem. While we can ridicule and mock them for being the way that they as I also have done it the past it actually seething and hating them is not a thing. I have been in these threads from the start, even if you don't believe me and this is my honest recollection and belief.
>>3460085>I have been in these threads from the start, even if you don't believe meI don't.
>>3460087That doesn't matter, I didn't expect you to believe me. However that doesn't change the fact that it is true.
>>3460085Are you sure you're not blowing things out of proportion because you're assblasted over someone making fun of your buttbuddies?
attention to cultivatoranon and zaper and all the coders and writers of the game i have one question this question is how do you get good at coding/branching? do you rip off other games? keep trying until it eventually works? give up the whole idea altogether. i really dont want to have my game be linear but the amount of variables that have to be tracked is very dizzying
>>3460120Total noob noname here>do you rip off other games?Yeah. I'm too stupid to do it myself. >but the amount of variables that have to be tracked is very dizzyingWhat program do you use to write your game?
>very dizzying

>>3460184I was asking if you are writing in Notepad, ChoiceScript IDE or something else.
Since the thread is so slow, I will start a discussion to liven it up, using a subject we can all agree with.Peasant/poor girls are the best ROs out there and everyone who disagrees is a filthy noblefag who will be backstabbed by his wife for profit sooner or later.
>>3460214post a single game with a well written peasant
>>3460219My wife Fitzie has show herself to be an outstanding servant in spite of her Irish origins. Much better than the wannabe communist or the failed artist, who kind you, are both rich. Shameful really.
>>3460252Fitizie is the heiress of Sicilian mafia though?
>>3460214Writing a peasant that was taken in by the church because she's a filthy g*nger that was orphaned on the streets. Very naive and influencable, take with that what yoh will.>>3460252>fails at everything unless your there to help hercute retard I always have low guts so fitzie gets to steal my breakfast
>>3460285>uppending the natural order by feeding the Ir*shThey were literally MADE to starve by the Lord.
>>3460256>Sicilian>Being anything other than a peasantYou are a proper British gentleman, talk like that is most scandalous. What would your aunt say if she heard you right now?
>>3460120keep trying, and don't make your game an "everything" game if you think too many variables are in play. Ideally there should be different routes and allow the player to do different things that cause different events, but at the end of the day the player does have to bridge the gap with the game and answer the call to action. Don't play the superhero cyoa if you don't like superheros, don't play the chink powerautism game if you don't like chink powerautism, ect.
>>3460285>low guts>He didn't win the boxing competition with one arm tied behind his backYou all belong in Dormouse with your failure of a cousin.
>>3460296I'm too busy fixing the newspapers and cucking tabby
>>3460120>i really dont want to have my game be linear but the amount of variables that have to be tracked is very dizzyingThat's what comments are for. And make use of temp variables. Odds are you're keeping a bunch of shit you don't even need.
>>3460252Filthy I*ish (the European Negro) seductresses are stealing all the Bretonnic men of good breeding, something must be done to combat this calamity.
>>3460348starling will save us
>>3460120I just kept trying until it worked. Most of the time when you do a big merge you can use a single variable to keep track of it. Like in Aura Clash when you choose your background, I don't have any variable keep track of whether or not you know about Koppo Roots or the strange monster in the swamps or how to make healing elixirs, I just have (background = "Herbalist") and the rest of the content is known from that. At the start of a WIP you don't even need to use variables to keep track of a lot of information, just write as much as you want and whenever you actually need to recount some info you can go back and add a variable later. Like when you make out with Kosuke, I didn't even have a variable keep track of it until chapter 5 when they might specifically mention it, so I went back and added a variable then.As for advanced stuff, I do have one real cheat. In choicescript you can use the # sign to read a single digit of a variable. #1 for the first, #2 for the second, etc. I use variables like "set metdesdemona 10000000000" and I use that to keep track of events that happened with desdemona by checking {metdesdemona#2}, {metdesdemona#3}. The first number is always a 1 so I don't check that, it's just there to keep the variable from being 0-padded (a fix I had to do recently). Essentially by using this I can do something like "set metdesdemona +2000000000" for teaming up with her at the tavern, "set metdesdemona +1000000000" for siding against her at the tavern, and "set metdesdemona +3000000000" for seeing them and leaving at the tavern. Then whenever I check {metdesdemona#2} I'll know what happened. Next time I need to track a variable with her, I'll use 1 less zero like "set metdesdemona +100000000" and it'll be tracked by {metdesdemona#3}. The problem is choicescript breaks saves whenever you change earlier files, so when you write down what number means what event, make sure not to do it in the startup.txt like I did.
>>3460214All else being equal, I prefer women noble in character, pure of spirit, and easygoing.
>>3460433for me its noble in character, pure of spirit and overly competitive tsun

Don't know about the other one.
>>3460495>>3460485I found Superlatives decent, though I never got around to playing the sequel.
>>3460497isn't that the one where it starts asking for your pronouns from the start?

>>3460685I don't play slop
>>3460525It's only martians and venusians who use these pronouns, and these are mainly to reflect their caste systems. MC's gender in first game is irrelevant, MC in second game is closely related to Martians, so maybe it matters, but the sequel where the best way to play is not transferring your progress from the previous game is shit regardless. Funniest thing about sequel with character transfer? You meet your LI, one, in my case, I worked my arse off saving, and the game goes "hey, wanna break up with him? he's not gonna appear much anyway, lol".
>>3460688sequels are nearly always shit
>>3460689Yeah, but it was especially egregious there. Most of your choices and relationships from game 1 don't fucking matter, your previous LI (Dusk, my beloved) has two scenes in total and it's almost like the game expects you to pick a non-transfer state, which at least makes more sense. I have no idea why they didn't simply do a dual protagonist thing or switched PoVs to that new MC regardless of transfer. You can even make old MC appear for a bit.
>>3460685I thought you had your discord to inform you about typos. Also, don't you double-check using a machine before you finish writing? Word, Grammarly, ChatGPT all can help out. And what program do you use? Don't tell me you took Wangpill and went with a notepad.
>>3460693The way Royal Affairs does sequels is the best way to do it, you set some background variables and the choices you made affected the backstory but you won't meet your old MC and the story is separate.
>>3460694Most old writers seem to work in Notepad. WiP authors and new writers usually just go IDE.
>>3460698>new writers usually just go IDEThat's what I am doing right now and I can't imagine writing in the notepad or notepad++.
>>3460696You can meet your old MC for a bit if he marries Rosado. I think Javi's rivalry scene is set at their wedding if he actually got the princess, and he is mentioned afterwards about several times when Rosado comes up.
>>3460685Xianxiafags have long since dulled their Divine Sense by reading the Demonic Scriptures of the MTL sect. Your slop is hardly offensive in comparison.
>>3460694>Don't tell me you took Wangpill and went with a notepad.It's an asian IF genre, anon. Wang is our Sect Master whether he likes it or not. I exclusively use Notepad++.
>>3460703this, if I can comprehend 2000 chapters of chink MTL your amateur spelling mistakes are nothing
>>3460705Have you at least tried IDE? I admit that just copypasting your code into it won't work perfectly. You would have to tweak a bit with the number of spaces and tabs. I know it because I tried to plagiarise a part of your code about skills. Ultimately I decided to use a different method.
>>3460708I've tried CSIDE but I've been scripting in notepad (poorly) for 16 years and I'm a stubborn beast. CSIDE did save me by showing me the quicktest and randomtest, I didn't even know they existed in ChoiceScript until 2 hours before releasing the WIP last Halloween. Goodluck with your new skill system anon, people seem to like non-CS character sheets in their CS games.
>>3460715>I've tried CSIDE but I've been scripting in notepad (poorly) for 16 years and I'm a stubborn beast.Fair enough. I'm a fucking dumbass so I grab any help I can get. I'm juggling IDE, ChatGPT and notepad right now. When (if) I were ever to publish, then Word and Grammarly would also have to wipe my ass.>people seem to like non-CS character sheets in their CS gamesWe had a discussion about pips in one of these threads not long ago, and I don't want to repeat the arguments from before.

"ANTARI could be here," Caius thought, "I've never been in this village before. There could be ANTARI anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his scarred face. "I HATE ANTARI," he though. Bloody Straight Silver could be heard in the distance as the recently pillaged Antari potato wine coursed through his veins, not doing much to calm his (understandable) hatred of the heretics. "With a Takaran stallion, you can go anywhere you want," he said to himself out loud.

>>3460933Nta but that's only for every species but birds. For whatever reason it doesn't make birds dependent, I looked into that before as I have a bird feeder. Apparently they still look for other sources of food even if they know that you have seeds.
>>3460931You're a menace and those birds are a pest.
In my game, I intend to reward players even for some of the failed checks by giving them extra xp to buy skills, as per learning from the failure rule. Passed checks would give less xp but extra money, items and character relationship points.Thoughts?
>>3460972This is great as long as the benefits from failing the check don't make that better than passing it.Perhaps the most common issue that most cog writers fall victim to is balancing the game around needing to do everything right to get results. Failing a check should help you get better at similar checks of the same kind, not to the extent that a low int character will become a genius by failing enough checks for for one who lacked 5% to reach the target goal to get it right the next time.
>>3460983>This is great as long as the benefits from failing the check don't make that better than passing it.I admit I find it extremely funny when I imagine people minmaxin loses to get as much xp as possible but I want to have it balanced and be more of a consolation prize. I intend to have 6 attributes and 12 skills, with skills being divided by body, mind and soul. Athletics and survival belong to body, so passing or failing them would give you body xp to allocate between 4 body skills.I also want to introduce universal xp which can be used to buy any skill and as the only way to increase attributes.>Perhaps the most common issue that most cog writers fall victim to is balancing the game around needing to do everything right to get results.And that encourages people to play as meta builds, or outright forces them to cheat. I want to avoid it.Thanks for your opinion anon.
>>3460571That would be pretty funny I agree, how is that whole legal situation going anyhow?
>failing to avoid the loansharks makes you meet ambrose and potentially meet the artist nerd in law school early instead of tabbyhuh, never knew that. I was just clicking through random choices to see what would happen and that happened
Cyoas for this feel?

I really dislike OP picrel because my brain can't tell if that's a very feminine man or merely an ugly woman.
>>3461097Yeah final fantasy really is like that. I cant tell if cloud is supposed to be a woman or man from the face alone.

>>3461098>Yeah final fantasy really is like that. I cant tell if cloud is supposed to be a woman or man from the face alone.Cloud's swole, though. I have no idea what game OP picrel is from.
>>3461220Squire game where you play as a squire to an eccentric old knight who's chivalrous values are quickly becoming relics of the past with the next generation of knights being far more concerned in how to fleece the realm for all that its worth. the dilapidated ruins that you explore are remnants of a modern day society and there are still some pockets of modern humans hidden away deep deep within them. Magic exists but its only obtainable by making contracts with demons, the exception being the holy powers that the one true goddess gifts to her devout followers. also social caste system is based on hair and eye color with gingers being the minority race because long ago their ancestors made a deal with a powerful devil actually a fae that has cursed their bloodline. The player has 4 main backgrounds, noble, peasant, street urchin and being raised by the church. each background has 3 or so perspectives that determine starting stats and can affect the narration, IE noble has a chivalrous, scheming and seething bastard background. Whats killing me really is making a comprehensive character stat sheet and ironing out the main stats I wanna use. originally it was just going to be pure medival fantasy, but I recently replayed smt 4 and the mix of medival and modern societies got lodged in my head.
I liked the Rizia expansion more than Sordland.
Wasnt there a general for CYOA games in /vg/? I remember checking that thread out from time to time, what happened?
>>3461484>/vg/That's where discussion goes to die.
>>3461486Sadly yeah, thats been the case. convo quality always degrades for some reason. Board is a curse.
>>3461488>for some reason300 threads speedrunning the bump limit
>>3461484No idea, but I am glad that it doesn't exist. /vg/ would ruin the quality of the threads and then toss it out within a few months. Meaning that we would have literally nowhere else to go to talk about CYOA games on 4chan
>>3461484Not really? There are CYOA generals on /tg/ and /trash/, but those aren't the CYOA games in the sense we're discussing here. We did have a single thread there when someone was trying to exile us from here, but that one thankfully got quietly dropped by everyone when it became clear we're in the clear.
honeypot bullying
>>3461641
I just realized if the fujo ever plays honeypot's wip (two more weeks trust the plan) she'll complain that the motorcycle bro isn't gay.
>>3461725>play a game that explicitly isn't gay>complain when there's no gayA want to give a fellow anon more credit than that.
>>3461725When I played Aura Clash, I was primarily concerned with broken code for girl character and more bro moments with Kosuke.
>>3461725If I complained that there's no yuri in Aura Clash, then the fujo will complain that there's no yaoi in [x]. It's simply what will happen. Man cannot fight his nature, after all.
>>3461247Write the story/what-ifs, then determine what should allow someone to reach that what-if, and if that's a stat, then that's a main stat.>>3461467Do you get to be an ethnonationalist in Rizia?

>>3461846What?
>>3461852You need more qi to understand junior.
>>3461856You could simply stop playing coy and tell me what you meant by that. Not everyone is reading all the threads on the forum.
>>3461846I smell another Seven Heirs of Orphesia. Let's see if this one will drag out for seven years as well.
>>3461878That writer seems to be perpetually dying at least versus whatever the fuck is going on with the KaE author
>>3461873sigh, let me explain junior.Kingdoms and Empires (WIP) and read the latest post by the author but I think I already gave you a lot of context.Honestly the big festival scene made this game good for me. I know this author will never release anything but I just enjoy this stuff too much.I just want to be a based medieval politician. No, this grandpa is not into self harm don't even try sell me that shit.~yin(male) deprived dual cultivator
>>3462157>Not silently walking in and peering over his shoulder at the paper
>>3462157Reminder that if you got him killed you'll never reach the apex
>>3462164Betraying Mei Mei is the best route if you're not romancing her anyway.But it is still pretty stupid that there's no charisma check to save Guo.
>>3462157Crazy to think this sad creature was planned to be a RO at some point.
>>3462175I believe that he didn't really want for there to be an option to save him considering it took him this long to make him even appear again and how fucking over Mei penalizes you so much. Your options are too either betray Mei and give him the bomb or just surrendering and disappoint everyone.
>>3462192Mei fucks you over anyway if you don't romance her so it's ok to betray her. Still pretty annoying.
>>3462196Just be a responsible brother and tell her that no, you can't kill a peak Houtain just because she's giving you a sad face. She's disappointed and pays you only a fraction of what she would had you won, but she understands that she's asking for too much and fucked up herself.
>>3462205Then you can't get the favor and you won't get the long awaited, promised Guo content.Unless you betray your friends, I guess.
>>3462210I meant when she asks you to kill the vampire. Mei won't betray you if you just don't take the fight and a minus 5 relationship points is nothing.
>>3462205>brother>implyinglol lmao I'm stealing mei mei away from the he(brew) clan and theres nothing they can do to stop me
So uhany reccs? I’ve read both Zombie Exodus’s (liked the first one, Safe Haven HATE) Jolly Good and Tally Ho (loved them), SoH (it was super linear but I got some entertainment out of it I guess) and that Archangel one (…meh).
>>3462339Oh and I also read Keeper (slightly worse then Archangel), that vampire one where the detective is a total retard (hated it), and Golden Rose (way too much filler, had it’s moments, but left me unsatisfied. how can you write THAT many words and not have more things happen? when it ended I was genuinely shocked. that’s IT?)
>>3462339VTM Night Road and Parliament of Knives are good, the hunter one is eh, the fourth one is shit.Slammed! if you're a wrestling fanMecha Ace if you're a Gundam fanTin Star and a Choice of Robots for "they don't make 'em like they used to"
>>3462339I liked Apex Patrol.
>>3462343Did you read both Keeper books? Book 2 is where I feel it hits its stride for comfy college shenanigans with hints of depression. And then book 3 goes full mindbreak (though it's currently a WIP).Also, Study in Steampunk is pretty good. It's basically Sherlock Holmes in a steampunk setting where you play as Watson.
>>3462343Pon Pars 1 and 2
>>3462356Tin Star and a Choice of Robots for "they don't make 'em like they used to"dont remind me. cant remember the last time a game got released that wasnt sequel bait or not extremely linear or chooses to focus completely on romanceslop at the expense of everything else. we still have newer shit like night road that still scratches that itch. maybe more will come out soon.
>>3462476Choice of Robots is romanceslop thought. robosexual
I think the worst ending for choice of robots is when you upload your mind into your robot turned hivemind. Unlike the ending where you die or even turn yourself into a robot, you outright experience ego death and become a subprocesses of your robot. Terrifying fate if you ask me, especially since your own beloved robot thought that idea was the bees knees.
>>3462491my waifubot warned me against doing that
>>3462491what about the one where you don't get any achievements
>>3462492Your robot was a better one than mine. Mine just desperately didn't want me to die and was positive about any route that didn't involve my "death". I guess it thought me becoming one of it's subprocesses counted as being "alive"
>>3462493I still think utter failure would be a better ending than that one. In that one st least you are still you.
>>3462496But you could have done so much more.
>>3462497I refuse to be ridiculed by the statue of liberty, all it does is stand around all day while my professor tries to steal my invention.
>>3462491My girl conquered Alaska, worked for military and learned that everyone but her beloved robot are annoying whiny bitches who do not approve of hard calculus of war (such as agreeing to add race profiling of asians while being vietnamese herself and generally enjoying her riches). After her brain cancer I did try to transfer her into a robot, but the ending was pretty ambiguous - it ended up very suddenly during transfer process and it's hard to say if she actually succeeded.But playing Kissinger's female alter ego was quite fun regardless, even if most of human characters are pretty bland and annoying.
>I want to kill your betrothed >she gets wet to thisI like her

>>3462684Was this written by AI?

Hey anons I am new to this, and despite sometimes progressive bullshit, I actually enjoy these games a lot, to the point where I started writing my own. That being said, are there other companies than Choice Games/hosted games? or just amateur websites?
>>3462726Only self-publishing, sadly.
>>3462726only self publishing on itch.io with twine being the main engine used. also some stuff on steam with actual production value
>>3462726Your best bet is writing in Twine Sugarcube or Twine Harlow and then using some wrapper tech to make the finished html file into an app when you're done.
>>3462726What are you writing?
>>3462726Give details so we can project onto you, we already turned one capeshit author's serious ecoterrorist villain into a plucky tsundere hot tomboy rival-gf. honeypot you better deliver or I swear to god I will donate to the ADL
>>3462853Shark teeth on a male and female LI, yes or no? (i prefer to not think about what happens when i'll get to sex scenes with this situation)
>>3462339Why do you hate Safe Haven?
You can only call yourself a proper writer if your work has over 1 million words in it. End of fucking story.

>>3462856It worked for Lady Argent so why not? Chainsaw Man made it hot for both anyway.>>3462858I am seething once again.
>>3462853>serious ecoterroist villianI refuse to believe that honeypot was ever serious. She was always some plucky kid that makes terrible bee puns and thinks that filling the locks on everyones houses with honey constitutes as villiany.
>>3462858Mouse sexo
>>3462862>make "ace" character>ace character sleeps on me naked in her route>this somehow doesn't constitute as sex and she is still aceok sure buddy
>>3462880cuddling > sexI can jerk of when I want to feel good, I can't cuddle myself
>>3462833>>3462853Nothing deep and likely not very original, but since I have no experience with writing and English is not my first language, I would want to keep it very simple.The game is about a mercenary band in a fantasy setting, where you take on the role of the youngest member.Choices will be mostly centered around battles, training, and relationships with characters. Political decisions and overall situations will be more something to observe than to participate in directly.
Is it even possible to get Wulfram's endorsement for the Rendower club? I never get the option even if I give the speech in the beginning.
>>3462880>>3462881Pretty obvious the autor only made Raquel "asexual" in name only. There's a line where it says that she wants to enjoy you or something like that.
>>3462888You have to be an Aetoriachad.>>3462880>>3462881>>3462891>asexual princess meme in tale of two cranes>you have 3 kids with her
>>3462892asexual princesses are guaranteed to not cheat on you
what should i try while i wait for more grey swan sirs please
>>3462892>You have to be an Aetoriachad. If your Aetorian you don't need Wulfram's endorsement at all.
>>3462898Pon Para
>>3462888You need to have some high Wulfram points. While the speech helps, the biggest increase comes from renting an expensive house in his territory.
>>3462878I remember the author mentioning that she was willing to commit or has committed mass murder. Having said that, what's a little mass murder between a hero and a villain, in most circles it's just considered aggressive flirting to catch the heroes attention.
>>3462857It’s bloated as hell and most of the characters are shit.
>>3462904Mass murder? How about a duel one-on-one, without anyone to interrupt it? Nothing is hotter than duels, anyway - I watched Utena for them alone.
>>3462881>>3462881well I can Cuddle AND have sex with my cute highschoolhood friend mute autistic cat lady was my second pick though
>>3462880When you kept saying "ace" all my brain was conjuring up was pictures of a fighter pilot. When you mentioned sleeping naked all I imagined was some naked chick sleeping on you with nothing but her birthday suit and a fighter hat on.
>>3462892>make an asexual princess>give her the most sexo scenessnould I do it?
>>3462904she must have changed then yeah, because I remember after the honeypot name was solidified he said that she's for redemption/ /wouldn't go along with a psychopath mc
>>3462920Depends if it fits the narrative or not. Why is the purpose behind the asexual princess having the most sex scenes, does she need to bear children to produce a heir ASAP? Is it insecurity, where she thinks having as much sex as possible would prevent her partner from leaving her? There should be a reason for it.
i've known a few """"asexuals"""""they were all just lying and immediately abandoned their claim as soon as they got a gf/bf
>>3462905I agree that at some points the game meanders around pointlessly and depending on your origin some characters will appear out of nowhere without knowing why, but the game is still quite fun all around and the characters themselves are fine for the most part, even if you can clearly notice the designated victims rather easily.Besides, you can just kill most of the survivors you don't like, that way the cast wouldn't feel bloated at all.
>>3462930Same with lesbianism. It's just lefty retardation, it's not actually a real thing.
>>3462928>Early RO with honeypot>She thinks she found someone who gets her, even if they seem to be a bit crazy. Who isn't in her kind of lifestyle?>Her slow realization that her "Hero" is legitimately a psycho.How would she try and get out of this situation without getting herself killed or kidnapped by the psychopathic MC in the proces?
>>3462929hmmm. Maybe in attempts to seduce a (dimwitted) mc? She doesn't take pleasure in the act herself but enthralling this up and coming young man with her "charms" could help make sure she stays in power and has another pawn on her side of the board. she's a schemer. Though that would require the player to be worth seducing, and playing second fiddle to an aging out of touch knight isn't gonna catch so much as a glance from her. i'd only really make her ace for the memes though
>>3462905I think that's an exaggeration.
>>3462882That sounds nice, but are you going to be a regular member, or through some asspull end up the leader? Because I'm really sick of Skyrim tier stories like that. Obviously not talking about distant epilogues here, that's completely different.
>>3462936I honestly don't know. I guess try to find some other hero on the lvl of the mc that isn't psychopathic and ask them for help. It would be cool though to have an RO that has an early honeymoon phase with the player and then halfway through the game realize that they don't mesh at all.
>>3462936I mean she just has to ask, I'm a murderous psycho but I'll respect her wishes since I love her.
>>3462938Honestly having the player work to have their character to be worth her interests seems like an interesting route and plays into her schemer personality.
>>3462930I don't doubt that there's people like that, the issue comes with using your limited cast of characters to cater to such a specific and miniscule group of people, when you're just going to disappoint everyone else. It's much better to just allow you to not fuck them if it's really that important.
>>3462949yeah, either way she would be a character thats interacted with in the secondhalf of the game than the first, after you've built some credit to your name (good or bad)
>>3462928>Honeypot is a terrorist, she's evil, she wants thousands of people dead. She is NOT for puns.Found the quote. But I think I was wrong, she seems too sweet to kill anyone. She may think herself the queen, but she'll feel the sting of rejection when I go for a true black and yellow villainess.
>>3462954>Fear me for I am your doom! I shall avenge nature for all the heinous crimes oue society has commited, or my name isn't honeypot!!>Lmao honeypot? it would BEE a real shame to have to throw you in jail for acts of BEE terroism>W-what? I demand to be taken seriously! I have bombs in my car and-->your car? do you call it the BEEmobile?? Did you fill your bombs with BEES so that when they explode a torrent of BEES flood out??>S-shut Up!ludo kino
>>3462940You will not become the leader of the mercenary group. But you will also not be a complete nobody if you do well in battle. Then the main character may be considered a hero by other mercenaries in the band. As the story progresses, you may save a very important character, and if you romance the character, you will de facto become a very important person at the end of the game; if not, you will remain just a mercenary. It is not a revenge story, and neither is the protagonist very ambitious. The backstory for the protagonist is that the leader of the mercenary band saved him and his main RO and did become a kind of father figure for them. A big inspiration for the story is the Golden Age of Berserk.
>>3462971>golden age of berserkcan we top griffith?
>>3462971Thank fuck, that sounds promising. Good luck with the project, anon.
>>3462950Maybe 0.0001% of the population? Asexuality is mostly just a way to cope for people who cannot find a partner... I remember looking at plebit/dating, and the abundance of posts from people who are 30 years old asking for advice because they are still virgins would perhaps surprise even anons on this site. It will get worse as people getting even fatter and younger people have horrible social skills. But these people are not asexual that is just something they say to feel a little better..
you know what kind of monarchy we haven't seen in cyoas? constitutionalized monarchy, its always a sole king or queen and their direct descendents that get the power with no real failsafe plans on if/when the king/queen dies (so that the player can become king like thats never been done before). I'm doing a theological kingdom where the royal family has been (said to be)blessed by the goddess, hence the blonde hair and blue eyes being only seen within that bloodline and either blue eyes or blonde hair popping up in their cousins
>>3463014for me? its the constitutional monarchy in which the king has genuine power and is like a hereditary president
>>3463014Isn't the Tierran monarchy a constitutional one? They have an assembly and stuff.
>>3463014for me? its the constitutional monarchy where the monarchy is actually a myth that almost everyone believes in and those who are actually in real power maintain the myth
>>3463027Tierra doesn't actually have a real constitution, though. The closest thing it has is the Oath of Montjoy, but it's more or less a completely uncodified gentleman's agreement and the King isn't particularly limited from pursuing his own policy even if he doesn't have the support of the Cortes.
>>3462918(b)aced
>>3462882Did you post about your game on here before? Because I distinctly recall several anons claiming to be working with a similar le mercenary gang premise.
>>3463052Nope. I mean, it is not something revolutionary, so I am not surprised other Anons thought about something similar.
>>3463052I know there was a first crusade anon and another (non roman) historical anon
>CultivatorAnon adds an asexual option >Literally everything is the same except for the fact that you don't get aura pressure from having sexIt's like playing the game on slightly harder mode
Anons I accidentally turned on fire half of my dear Uncle state by trying to lit a cigarette with his blowtorch, my maid is currently distracting my Uncle who is in the annual reunion of the Tin Soldiers Enthusiasts, any advice to escape this dire situation without losing my standing with my Uncle
>>3463381Play a stunning rendition of God Save the Queen on the piano.
>>3463381Simply, act as if you planned it ahead of time and quickly draft up plans as to what will be constructed now that the old building has been demolished
>>3463381I'm already on to you you scoundrel, or my name isn't detective ambrose!
>>3463437Say detective, isn't that your carefully crafted notebook burning in the fire?I wonder how that happened, but well, it seems you have no evidence of any wrongdoing.
>>3463445FUCK I bet that no good butler did this. what was his name again? rodney? ...richards? rory? ah yes rory that devious little scamp. no wait that was his boss. hmmm I'm going to need a smoke to crack this particular nut
>>3458557Wait is there a discord?
>>3463642...Yeah? Several. Did you miss the arc where we got semi-raided by the Infinity and PoMA ones?
>>3463647NTA but I did.
>>3463647Id uh, like a link if that bridge is still open.
>>3463381Have you considered framing dear Marmaduke?
Haze or Rory? On one hand, autistic twink with purple hair. On another, absolute soft cutie pie you constantly have to bail out of trouble.
>>3463696>Haze>maleBPD is a female-coded disorder. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
>>3463698I knew a lot of twinks with BPD.
>>3463696>male hazenah man I gotta agree with the other anon, haze is the hot female cat burgerler archetype that only cares about the next heist. (and also (you) if you romance her). rory is just not my type, dudes a bit of an idiot and I'm just trying to help a bro out with his gf. for me it was valentine, she was also an idiot but a cute idiot, and a bumbling servant girl is more excusable than a bumbling noble who needs me to feed him every single thing he says to his gf to succeed.
>>3463700Trannies in denial.
>>3463702Anon, but what do I do if twink Haze is more sexo than female one? For me gender-swapping archetypes usually makes them hotter.
>>3463704Hit the gym, take on a high animal-protein diet, and stop drinking tap water.
>>3463704You do you I guess, but for me female haze just makes more sense specifically when she flirts with JollyMC and fitzie gets jealous
>>3463706anon you're replying to a fujo
>>3463704Why do you stan for male!Hawkins then?
>>3463704>>3463708Jog 3 miles per day and stop taking crazy pills/birth control.
>>3463713Actually gaying it up with Char is something I wanted in UC. They were teased so much, how could I not jump at the occasion of actually doing so, although with Not!Char?
>>3463718>they were teased so muchSeek help.
>>3463722nta but I wouldn't be surprised if theres fujobait in gundam, fujos are a real demographic that gets pandered to in japanese media
>>3463702Frankincense is still the best. She may have awful political ideals and may have considered kicking me out if she married Rory, but her scenes are very entertaining. The spider birthing scene in the boat is the one in which I laughed the most in the game.
>>3463696Valentine, Haze or FrankyNever Rory, we just ain't like that no matter how much Haze tries to trick me into believing something as ludicrous as him having feelings for me
>>3463733I didn't want to cuck rory or have a threesome
>>3463737Your loyalty is splendid! Never tarnish it
>>3463737>cuck roryIt's clear at the start of the game that he's not really into the idea of a marriage, having been coerced into it with how it came out of nowhere.As his faithful butler, your duty is to save him from such an undesirable fate, even if it means seducing his fiancee and convince her to leave him. This also has the benefit of angering that weird Irish girl from the Cadbury club, whatever her name was.
>Jolly good 2 has 2.2 million words>and its still not completed yet

>>3463715Not him but my own two cents - starting out immediately jogging 3 miles a day is insane. Work your way up to that and only if you enjoy it. At the bare minimum, you should jog for 30 min ~3 times a week.
>>3463794>starting out immediately jogging 3 miles a day is insaneNot as insane as you think, it's the cross country basics. Showed up day 1 as a 14 year old in high school hoping to learn how to run for so long, coach just says "go run 3 miles", shows me the road loop I'll be doing, and that's it. I was baffled but it worked. Next day was 5. Untrained normies really can just do it.

total nick death
>>3463836No wonder your parents ditched, you Button
If Button didn't want to get teleraped, why did he spread his mind open like a wanton slut, huh? Little bitch was begging for it.
for me the weirdest part of mindblind was when the game asked me if I wanted too hook my older brother up with my only childhood friend. No thank you
>>3463882You murdered his ability to have a love life the least you could do is give him a 10/10 heart of gold qt pie to repay all he's done, while you bag the half naked hottie next door
>>3463886No I like and trust sally far more than ambrose glitch or any of the other ROs. Its not my fault that he decided to spend his life coddling me and when I'm finallyfree of it he literally gets stuck in my head. and sally is the only person that the mc can hang around normally and not get passively mindraped by. she also is really sweet
>>3463896>can hang around normally and not get passively mindraped by.anon...
>>3463898i forgot honestly I haven't looked at mindblind in a while, its either she can't mindrape you or her presence shields you from being mindraped by others, either way she's far more considerate of fucking privacy than nick ever was

>>3463758Xiwen romance is as weird as it is hilarious. Not only do you shamelessly flirt with him in all your interaction, he actually gets them and flirts back. Then it becomes a scenario of you sending hot pictures to each other through letters.Compared to every other RO being an autistic mess, having one be as straight forward as that felt out of place.
>Never heard of mindblind before>Looks like the final demo is out before a full release>March 2022I'll play the demo since you guys are talking about it, but is it a dead game?

>>3464183NickyDicky simply has a heavier existence
>>3464183AI slop is superior to this fag shit
>>3464197Also all the poetry in Nicky's game is very clearly written by AI chatbot
>>3464197If you believe that than why are you here and not playing AI dungeon?
>>3464202I was talking about the art, and I do use AI quite frequently. Claude Opus in particular is a fantastic storyteller
>>3464203>fantastic storyteller>needs to be contantly tardwrangled and micromanaged by you to have anything resembling a proper storyline
>>3464214Just make sure to include something along the lines of (come up with new random things occasionally) in the prompt and you're golden. Any scenario that you can come up with for it to work with, you can do it.
>>3463990
>>3464203Everyone has their own tastes, for example I think your taste is trash but that's alright. Personally I hope CultivatorAnon commissions an artist for the art in his game. As a side note, do you visit the local models general on /g/? It's probably the easiest general to just pop in for a few minutes and get a gist as to what is going on. They update the news in the OP often enough and there is always one Anon and sometimes a recap bot that recaps the highlights of the previous thread.
>>3464220>come up with new random things occasionallyThat's how you end up with something nonsensical derailing what's happening every second swipe. I have plenty of experience with Claude, and I still maintain anything resembling an actual story needs to be assembled and maintained by yourself out of what he's producing. If your writer needs a dozen swipes to come up with something interesting and consistent with what happened before, he isn't a particularly good storyteller. Still, it's a decent outlet for your own creative urges and whatever niche scenarios you can think up that have no chance of being properly made and you're too lazy to write yourself.
>I am 6ft2, workout at the gym, and have been told by numerous girls that I’m handsome. I have a good job as a regional manager, and make over six digits a year. So why is online dating so hard?I’ll tell you why. Because my Pollard Score is 3.Females want to breed with Ments who will give them psychic offspring. And its NOT THERE FAULT. Females are biographically programed to want to mate with someone who will give their children the best genes (its why you have so many who marry Good Providers, than cheat on them with their Alpha-type tennis instructors). Women always want to know my Pollard Score on the first date, and I can visibly see the disappointment in their eyes when I admit to not being a Ment.It’s kind of messed me up. I’ve deleted all my dating apps and can’t find the energy to even try anymore. How can I get women to see ME instead getting hung up on my lack of telepathy? I get that they want their progeny to have the best genes available, but I’m still a great guy who has a lot to offer.” go ahead, refute him

Just got done playing the demo for mindblind. I enjoyed it, the relationship with nick sort of reminded of the one you had with your sister in Arcadie. Except that nick comes back from the dead unlike your sister.I am also glad that the game actually lets you hate your parents, unlike in Keeper where you continuously have to accept their calls and interact with them you can actually outright ignore against Nicks wishes. Like when you are in that subway and your instructor that nick hates offers to let you call them before heading out for the mission. Keeper didn't even let you do that much. I kind of wish that scene where your mother almost kills you after rearranging your thoughts was a bit more graphic. As it stands your body starts repeating everything she says and does, but all your body does is start shutting down and slowly dying. I would have preferred her having moved her arm in a certain way, and your arm breaking in response due to all the muscles pushing or pulling at once. jerky movements causing damage due to hitting glass or accidently hitting metal. It was even stated in game that she is unused to controlling bodies. Make it more Traumatic because right now the whole "She tried to murder me!" dialogue feels kind of silly where right after she is gently trying to put you on a coach and instantly calls your brother to assist. I also can't believe I got rickrolled at the end of the demo in the year of our lord 2024These are my official thoughts, I will buy the game when it actually comes out.
>>3464616Aura ClashTM.
Give me a good title that lets you be a murder hobo.
>>3464665>gooks:(
>>3464667Golden Rose
>>3464672It has white people from space too

>>3464725It's good for a woman writer, shame you got filtered.
>>3464733>poor man's Dragon's Gate The Origins of Amn>goodI sometimes envy those possessed of so undiscerning a taste.
>>3464742So then what is a good murder hobo story
>>3464743Superhuman.
Anyone else like Mobile Armored Marine?
>>3464725The characters, story and choices themselves are fine for the most part, the main issue is how snail paced the whole thing is. It's over 1 million words for just a single mission, even if it has lot of set up. I've played the second book demo and despite being a lot of words, it's just up to negotiating with the crime lord. The writer can afford being less descriptive.
>>3464753>The characterstumblr Dragon Age fanfic-tier.>storyDoesn't actually exist and what is there becomes worse the more you think about it because of how awful and poorly thought-through the setting is>choicesBloated and inconsequential 99 % of the time. Stats besides combat might as well not exist at all for how much they're used. Personality bars are so fucking bland and get brought up so fucking often removing them all together would be a major improvement to the game. If I took a shot every fucking quip or grunt, I'd die of liver poisoning.
>>3464758Most of my characters ended up as stoics because I ignored constant emotion choices. I expected some reaction because of that, but no dice - even in Deadfire my character'a perpetually stony mug had actual reactivity.
>>3464645the extened demo is on Choice of mods. Its kinda funny that while romancing sally you can have a major inferiority complex about nick, like she'll invite you on a reconnaissance date and you can think she's only doing the date to find nick, to which hes just tired of your bullshit in the back of your head
>>3464721> It has white people from space too:D!!
>>3464767Being Nick is truly suffering
>>3464665>one of the few straight only wips on dashingdonwhat did he mean by this>>3464616Infamous, ton of gay drama bullshit with seven
>>3464769>man our relationship changed so suddenly, we went from friends to->*bro you both had crushes on each other for years and neither were brave enough to express it*>haha no way nick she was totally in love with you since middleschool>*That was just a school crush you fucking bufffoon*yeah. also reese has been drugging him constantly which is why he's stuck in your head for so long, and when he does wake up for a bit he accidentally kills a terroist due to how strong his brain is or whatever
>>3464758Look anon, any game that allows me to break the main girls heart by flirting with other girls in the most detailed way possible is good in my book. Plus the characters could be much worse.But I agree that the emotional choices could be cut to a third without issue. I don't know why a lot of writers make that slide when they still have you pick every emotional choice regardless. This is more common with female writers but almost all fall victim to this.
So who is the biggest slut and the most prudish romance interest in these games?
>>3464775Having him wanting to kill himself every time I fantasied about fucking the teacher was quite entertaining.I wouldn't mind setting him up Sally but it feels weird as a male mc even if I don't plan on getting with her. I guess that if I ever play as a female I'll have her get together with his best friend and set them up, because things need to be symmetric like that.
>>3464783>biggest slutdaisy from evertree inn>most prudishmelaxu from pon para (not really prudish just too autistic to initiate sex) and betrothed from lords

>>3464783Dakota from Infamous sucked my character's dick three minutes after meeting him. Prudish... eh, maybe Wakefield? He's the only one you cannot drag into the bed early in the entire game.
>>3464785Rude, Daisy is very loyal if you get together with her, her arc in Sordwin was quite cute. Is there any ro that can willingly cheat on you under certain circumstances?Also, you also can have sex with Melaxu and the fiancee. I'm sure there are some that you can't even kiss even if you've been romancing them for 3 books or if they have sex powers.
>>3464789>betrothed >spreads her legs open for the first 30 yo 1 charisma bastard>Welles>keeps spilling her spaghetti and ghosting you for years every time you say you're interested in her
>>3464183Well, to be fair, PoMA did allowed me to sesbian lex before. While AC doesn’t. (Have never played AC by the way, the game is a bit too silly for an old carp like me haha.)But if Cultivation-Anon wants some competitions with PoMA? He can feel free to contact me about art commission via my Discord (Gn0) or the PM of my socials.
>>3464794>Rude, Daisy is very loyal if you get together with her, her arc in Sordwin was quite cute. Is there any ro that can willingly cheat on you under certain circumstances?on the ship ride there you walk into her getting ready for a threesome with two other sailors, why do daisy fans forget this every single time?>>3464795i forgot about the premarital sex stuff with the betrothed. truly, the infiniverse cast offers nothing but hoes
>>3464800>the infiniverse cast offers nothing but hoesExcuse you, my wife Garret is pure!
>>3464797Oh, ohaio. How's the Mecha Ace run going?
>>3464800>you walk into her getting ready for a threesome with two other sailorsThat doesn't happen. When you are together at night she says that she found one who was interested in joining in with you that night, but you can easily shut her idea down. Hell, actually allowing her to treat your relationship as a no strings attached fling or sleeping with someone without her knowing is how you screw it up.
>>3464800She gets ready for a threesome with you and a sailor, not two randos. Also, it's incredibly easy to tell her that open relationships are no bueno. Remember, she's still in the mindset that you're a one-night stand/FWB that she had in the Evertree Inn at that point, she doesn't go from "fuckbuddy" to "dearly beloved husband/wife" instantly.
>>3464808Actually, yeah. I flirted with the shifter guy behind D's back and it resulted in an interesting, but very ugly scene.
>>3464804She bangs women on the reg
>>3464822/u/ is the purest form of love.
>>3464804Waiting patiently for the Garret love interest route. Come on, Wang, neither the Dragoon nor Garret are getting any younger.
>>3464804>wife GarretI'm sorry sir, I know the war has been going long enough, but it still not good to joke about stuff like that, lest the men get some ideas. Lieutenant Garret is a gentleman, despite the womanizing rumors around him. Please don't allow his delicate features, soft skin and hypnotic eyes to distract you from your duties.
>>3464797I could never steal nicky's style as I'm 90% sure his end product will commissiom you, but I could try some art commissions for fun to see how your style works with some of the current concept art, I feel like Leona especially would work well with how you do hair. Will probably bug you around the year's end so I can tell the taxman I've got nothing left for him.Remember kids, NEVER pay taxes.
>>3464784That and also wanting to fuck either of the terroists makes him believe you are truly brain damaged, especially if your already in a relationship with someone
>>3464822>SheWhat?
>>3464783Ava for prude. fucking autistic bitch can't even kiss the protagonist while thinking about how she can't and its a terrible idea. my sister in christ nat is fucking him right as we speak its fine
>>3464842the anglo-saxons...
>>3464822It's obviously just a front to keep her disguise. Unless she has sex mind control powers, the rumor about her not being a man would spread around camp extremely fast if she actually did sleep around with camp followers.

>>3464853I wasn't too hooked on with the demo, but it has a chance of being good. At the very least I may buy it in the miniscule chance that it allows Pon Para 3 to be made. Still, it's way too expensive.
>>3464853I truly wonder if there will ever be an Exalted one.
>>3464853Thank god i hate werewolf shitShame i still wasted money on blood omen though
>>3464862All of their stuff are tie-ins for WoD 5e shit and White Wolf doesn't really touch Exalted these days, so extremely unlikely.
>>3464853What's the name of the previous 2 werewolf games and is this a sequel to them or standalone?
>>3464882Stand alone; the games you likely think about are Werewolves: Haven Rising and its sequel. Werewolves 2: Pack Mentality: These games are, in my opinion, one of the best Cog games. Bly is likely my favorite RO.
>>3464853good thing its up on the usual sites
>>3464853Fuck it, I bought it. Hopefully Pon Para 3 is next.

>>3465074I liked them.
>>3465074Hungry Names isn't related to the Werewolf games published by CoG previously. It's a licensed game of Werewolf the Apocalypse, the TTRPG, and it's standalone. It's by the same guy who did Night Road (Vampire the Masquerade game), which was pretty good.Of course it's written with Paradox's W5 bullshit, but hey.

>>3464751It's hard to remember what it was about.
>>3464853>A winter night can kill as surely as any monsterUhhhh no it can't, you're a supernaturally empowered arctic canine. The cold is fine.
>>3465074Yes, the two Werewolves IFs are good (for being CoG). It feels like you make meaningful decisions and are deciding the future of your people.
>>3465112Ehhh...It's likely to have issues, but Second Inquisition isn't very likely to be one of them. The premise seems to be about you being mostly solo and the only organizations mentioned are> Can you trust the fanatics of the Society of Leopold, the scholars and savants of the Arcanum, the ruthless Duffy crime family, or the enigmatic biotech company Fada?
>Tin star is 11.99>Book of hungry names is 19.99Are the authors making the prices or COG? Because since COG takes 70% I can easily imagine someone jacking up the price so they get more than a dollar off of each sale.
>If you purchase Werewolf: The Apocalypse — The Book of Hungry Names by 11:59pm PDT on April 26th, we’ll give away the “Wardens and Furies” DLC, featuring the options to play as a member of the Black Fury tribe or the Hart Warden tribe, for free.
>>3465207CoG gives a few prices they think could work, and the author picks one IIRC. Hungry Names is definitely getting marked up because of Paradox tho.
From jasonstevanhill, chief of CoG or whatever:>It is the most expensive game so far.>It's 1.6 million words at release. It also has internal art by Amy Wilkins and there's also some licensing fees built in.>But it's 1.6 million words. You'll be playing the game for months and still not see it all.
>Witten by the writer of Night Roadalright you sons of bitches, I'm in
>Kyle MarKYS slop
>>3465218>he doesn't like Pon ParaMassive faggotry at work here.
The new game hasn't been added to Kyle Marquis site yet. I wonder if he forgot about his life like Cultivator Anon did for yearshttps://www.kylemarquis.net/library.html
I think there is a problem with COG's "Purchased products" system. I buy all my COG games on steam, and when I want to play it on my phone I use the [Restore purchases from Steam] button. About a year ago I bought all three Wayhaven books, played through one and decided it wasn't for me and refunded the other two. However, even though I got a steam refund and no longer technically own the product COG still thinks I do and I can play it freely. Even when you Restore new purchases like I just did with the Hungry book, it doesn't seem to update the list and still think you own it even though its not even in your steam library anymore.I can't help but think that this is an easily exploitable system to get every game, but I don't want to bring to much attention to it in case they just outright remove the ability to link your purchased steam games to their own system.
Well if theres one thing I can say about the new werewolf game, you can hippiemaxx pretty well, which is like half the identity of WoD werewolves
what was that other wip site that a number of cog authors migrated too after the whole colosseum drama? You know the one where they talk shit in their forums most of the time

I'm still mad at andy for cockblocking me with reese, just let me fuck your boss bro (while I have a bug on me). also chapter 18 has some issues with how the only current options are getting captured with kent or deciding that mass sterilzation is a great idea and that I would make a great terroist
>>3465442Going to be honest, I don't even remember playing it so I can't speak for it. But if I bought it and played it and completely forgot about it's existence I can't imagine it was any good.
>>3465534I only played the official demo, can I mass sterilize all non ments? Objectively ments are the superior form of humanity
>>3465541nah its the other way around, the terroists have a plan to sterilze all ments. also sally is a fucking keeper
>>3465548No way I am letting that happen, if the game would let me I would be a ment supremacist. The next stage in human evolution
>>3465558Nick doesn't deserve this...
>>3465527>hurts hurtsnever knew there was a skaven here
>>3465562he does because the seethe is really funny see >>3464315
>>3465563fast-Quickly fellow skaven, Silence-kill the man thing!!
Imagine looking after your lil bro for years, only to get trapped in his mind as he lusts for the people responsible for putting you in a coma. I would be seething as well
>>3465576evil girls are simply superior it gets so much worse once you realize that they are using nick as patient zero for the sterilization drug, and you STILL lust after them
>>3465581>picrelthis better be how honeypot acts otherwise I'm outing HoneypotAnon to the KGB
All of nicks suffering could have been avoided had he not given his friend that cooking apparatus
>>3465590doesn't matter he'd suffer either way, the ment that originally controlled you has a vendetta agaisnt nick
>>3465595>the ment that originally controlled you has a vendetta agaisnt nickwhat? spoilers pls?
>>3465600sorry, thought it was obvious with the whole "blowing up your brother" thing
>>3465602Nta but I thought it was pure bad luck on nicks part. The explosion was more for show then it was for damage after all.
>>3465604I think it was a bit of both, a happy accident for leonardo
I'AM ASTERIA'S SECOND COMING. WHOM I CHOOSE TO PROTECT DESERVED BE PROTECTED SOLELY BECAUSE I CHOSE THEM. I'AM A KEEPER, WHAT I CHOOSE BY DEFINITION IS RIGHT!I don't have the MOS btw
>>3465616I compelled astrid because its the only way to keep her safe
I compelled Astrid to get more points in my compulsion skill
>>3465624>>3465635I don't use compulsion magic because is better compel people with punches
i killed my bio father infront of my adoptive parents and then compelled them to forget
>>3465558What game is this?
>>3465642Aura Clash
>>3465642Aura Clash junior.
>>3465642unsupervised
>>3465642Actual answer? It's mindblind, but you should play Aura Clash and Unsupervised regardless
>antifacistslmaooo. I like nin though she's a cute metalhead
>>3465686Thanks for telling me the truth baby
>>3465696>werewolves relying on pantifaV5 isn't a joke, it's a humiliation ritual
make a new thread already jesus
>>3465731We are literally only on page 5. This one should still be good for another day or two
>>3465729he legit censored the word "god". and I don't think he's going for the "gods name is unspeakable by mortals" route like smt 4a does
>>3465696>>3465729>>3465741I really really hope this flops like, why censor god?
>>3465734On /vrpg/ that should be good for probably 2-3 more days
>>3465745I've only ever seen jews do that, is he from the He Clan?
>>3465745g*d is an evil authoritarian figure.
>>3465674unironically based that all the best RI are white :D
>>3465804theres like nonewhite dude on the team iirc. Maybe that chick you meet at the party isn't white? i don't remember and she shows up so late she has no characterization
>>3465809one*
>>3465809I think the only one who isn’t white is amir and that nugget kid on the cover and he isn’t even in the story yetnora is romanian I think? and the last bitch is australian so yes the best RIs are white :D
>>3465696This is painful.
>>3465581>fucking with my boy's dickWhat the actual fuck, I'm going to nuke them all if just for that alone
>>3465865>"How come random strangers can touch my brother's dick but I'm not allowed to?" Was the first thought he heard after his sibling hear about the sterilization project
Please tell me that Kyle learned from Pon Para and didn’t make Book of Hungry Name’s stat checks completely retarded
>>3465882>not being outraged on principle at people fucking with your family's ability to start a family, and have to make it a incest thinganon...
>>3465894You don't even get to play as a werewolf in the game
>>3465896Elaborate, because the marketing says otherwise.
>>3465894There's the option for the checks to show which stat they are testing, but that's for baby losers who can't handle the stat roulette.If you really want the achievement for playing blind, at least in the demo what stats you get from the initial choices is clearer but as for how they are tested they are still somewhat misleading.
>>3465897I am lying to you
>>3465899>but as for how they are tested they are still somewhat misleadingDammit.
>>3465901It's not that awful since there don't seem to be many hidden stat mods so you just have to trust your stats. Nothing will be worse than Pon Para 1 mov mod that you could get when you didn't expect like raiding the armory that would cripple pretty much every check in the game.
Okay but does the new Werewolf cyoa have any girls that aren’t completely terrible? That’s the real question.
>>3465906You only get to have sex with animal spirits
>open Book of Hungry Names Steam page>get assaulted by the monotone CoG guy narrating like he’s just took 100 mg of xanaxThose promo videos can do nothing but hurt sales, holy shit shut the hell up.
>>3465581Look the terrorist leader is hot and all but ignorable. But the second in command is the right mix of unhinged psychopath and broken girl that I just can't resist wanting to fuck her. The game allows you to be a pervert who falls in love with people capable and willing of killing him, all while crushing your poor brothers soul with your degeneracy, it's perfect. And it all points to you also being able to crush on the bomber.
>>3465909That sounds like another lie, anon.
>>3465913It is
>>3465912>And it all points to you also being able to crush on the bomber.Holy fucking shit Nick is actually going to disown us
>>3465915
I just want to date the autistic half naked pet owner, the fact that they're actually not a Ment is a nice bonus, though having my Button go full betrayed dramawhore over thinking his privacy was horribly violated was pretty funny.

>>3465998What game
>>3466006The new Werewolf slop
what’s with all the recent WIPs on twine featuring PoC only romances?I prefer white boys, they are cute :(
>>3466052>twinewtf why there's no whites in my black hood!?!?!?!?!?!
>>3466081but it’s disgusting and discriminatory to exclude cute white boys from anything :(
>>3466083Whites can't be discriminated against, chudidie.
>>3465337this guy is a nut job i love him never change endmaster
>>3465696need a 'jak of this asap>>3465741the author also capitalizes the b in black. i like the game, the storys fun and the mechanics are deep but damn shit like this is mildly irritating
>>3466100>Requesting a jak of all thingsYou should feel ashamed.
>>3465906cast is the weakest part. didnt care for any of them.
>>3466096not fair, they’re too cute to be treated in such a way :(
>>3465696do they actually call the cultists the Cultists
>>3466109racists colonizer pigs don't deserve to be treated in any other way :)
>>3465998Poly is a meme
>>3466125stop being so mean! cute white boys don’t deserve the hate :(
>>3466125>shitskin mad that he wasn't the one to colonize europe
>>3466153I'm the snownigger colonizing Europe, albeit?
what the fuck is this conversation
>>3464853>>3465998>Book of gay faggots is finally releasedKYLE GET BACK TO PON-PARA WE DON'T NEED FUCKING WoD SLOP DLCS
>>3466154You destroyed Rome then!
>>3466158It was just vengeance for my Etruscian ancestors.
>>3466157I'm sorry bro, CoG & Paradox will probably invite Kyle to do another WoD game with the success of Night Road and depending on how well Book of Hungry Names does
>>3465912Not going to lie anon, in these games where you pick the character genders by picking your characters sexuality, I always say Bi because it feels weird when 90% of the important cast are all girls
>>3466173>I-I'm only saying I fuck men so I can be around more men!Stop eating goyslops and go to the gym. Now.
>>3466173I only recall this ever being an actual issue that exist in trash like Wayhaven or Choice of Rebels
>>3466184guys can be cute too anon
>>3466190Yeah if you're a prancing lala homo man. Stop drinking tap water and go lift.
>>3466209no. and I drink well water lmao
>>3466217Do you ever feel...peckish after drinking from it?
>>3466233>Seeking Mr Eaten's Grindr Profile
>>3465221Pon Para is shit, I want to strangle every single one of that fag's characters. Your dickhead dad in the dieselpunk game was the only time he had something going, and he fucked even that up.
>>3466173I honestly dislike variable gender characters. Who they are as a man or a woman does change their circumstances considerably and it also changes the perception of what they do, but they are the same character in the same roles and the game can never properly acknowledge those changes or their physical differences without it becoming bloated code wise. It also suddenly becomes weird how every character just happens to be one you can be attracted to. I get that it's so people don't become mad when they can't romance the character they like but, unless used very sparingly, it usually cheapens the story.
>>3466248agreed
>>3466248I get the feeling that the worst offenders are authors who really just want to write a dating sim/otome game with every RO being female/male so they slap variable gender on top of it and call it a day. But perhaps I'm just forever traumatized by that one time the CoG forums meme'd me into playing The Shadow Society. The horror.
>>3466266the otome immigration has been a disaster for cyoas
>>3466248It's more convenient, to be honest. Writing a new LI for every combination of gender and sexuality is how you become Shepards of Haven, and usually the LI you want to romance is locked behind gender and sexuality combo you don't want to have. I can't blame people for doing that, but if the situation allows for it, some nods to their gender would be nice.
>>3466271*Shepherds
>>3466271>made the bossy tsundere ojousama into a measly fling and a pity end if you decided not to fuck and of the real ROsI'm still mad
>>3466271I'm not gonna make variable characters, there will probably be 2-3 chicks and 2-3 dudes that are romancable, (one of the dudes will probably be gay to fill the CoG quota)
>>3466271>gender and sexuality combo you don't want to have.I don't really get why people like this are so allergic to switching up their character if they really want to romance that one character when they see no issue with the RO turning into a sex doll morphing to your preferences.
>>3466301Some weirdos get way too into self inserting. It's why you see so much vitiligo freckles or pronouns shit these days
>playing the werewolf game>oh you get cold haha nice flavor>a basic winter in MA deals aggravated damage and shuts off your regenerationYou're a fucking wolf. Wolves sleep through snowstorms regularly WITHOUT a werewolf's regeneration. Who wrote this slop?
>>3466301Because options that are left for some people are very, very lacking. One, maybe two characters at best while everyone else gets much more. It's annoying and unfair - also, in most settings gender does not really affect a thing. Gender of LIs matters? They stay that way. We are in mecha anime thirty hundred years from now one? Who gives a shit, let the player pick and choose. I was always in favour of playersexuality because I prefer to see men romancing other men - and it's a very, very rare fucking thing, and usually it's done like shit (Dorian's quest wasted on the fact he's gay in the setting homophobia does not really exist is the most glaring example). It depends, first of all, on what you're writing about.
>>3466312>I prefer to see men romancing other menSee, me too. But for that I need men who realize that the other person also is a man.
>>3466317I like the details made for different combinations of genders, but eh, best to not expect any effort in general from people who don't do things out of passion. I'd much rather take DA2's playersexual approach compared to Rogue Trader's one - your m/m option is a single alien elf psycho who, although very compelling, keeps getting ignored in the surveys, marketing and everything else.
>>3466329I genuinely prefer the latter. Perhaps you can go on pretending that the straight romance you are reading is totally something else, but it isn't my cup of tea. If this means I'll be skipping romance 49 out of 50 times then that's fine. I'll savor the one exception.
>>3466337Eh, I constantly banged my head aganist straight LIs that seemed to me like they'd at least be bi. Savouring the exceptions is nice, but I would really prefer to simply get reactivity and reaction to different gender combinations, not a simple lock aka "mr. knight-in-shining-armour is straight again, who-o-o, we're breaking the non-existing stereotypes again". Granted, I am bi myself. I just don't understand how gender of a partner would affect my feelings for them.
>>3466344>straight LIs that seemed to me like they'd at least be bi.>mr. knight-in-shining-armour is straight again, who-o-o, we're breaking the non-existing stereotypes againIt's so bizarre to talk to you chronically online faggots. Disgust aside, to actually communicate my point, you sound equal to someone complaining that ROs having all four limbs is stereotypical or not something you can envision, because amputees exist. The idea that faggotry would be anywhere, let alone everywhere, is such a bizarre demand.
I've come up with the basic stats and backgrounds, now I just have to figure out how to make the statpage display things correctly so I can make sure choices are assigning the correct stats. I'm split on whether the information I share in Comments should be shared with the player or retained.
>>3466353You can try to implement score showing for personality stats, and maybe some text for trait values. If something is true, placeholder text should say something like "you are known for your kind heart / being a cunt/ pragmatic mindset".
It's so annoying and unfair that every RO in these games is over 18 years old. Where's my representation? Where are my kindergarteners?
>>3466364>Where are my kindergarteners?https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/dear-diary-we-created-a-plot-hole-a-slice-of-life-fantasy-adventure-updated-dec-25-chapter-4-5-is-here-509-000-words/89686
>>3466364>Where's my representation?Honypot is supposed to be 16 and a secretly stacked tsundere villain tomboy who gets flustered by all the bee puns and how we don't take her seriously. the author wanted none of this, we forced it on him.>Where are my kindergarteners?Come on over to my place so I can ensure you are properly castrated and hanged
>>3466371>secretly stackedhoneypot is FLAT
>>3466364I think its just to be on the safe side of things to have everyone be above/around 18. still hilarious that everyone in infamous is in their mid 20s/30s and are acting like teenagers thouth
>>3466365What, are you suggesting I should ADAPT my self-insert to be a kid!? How dare you! I demand to be able to play as a fat balding 30 year old man or I'll shit my piss and cry my cum!
>>3466382>everyone in infamous is in their mid 20s/30s and are acting like teenagers thouththey're musicians, their kind is just like that
>>3466379Seems like you didn't know the secret.
>>3466391the power of my imagination will make her FLAT
>huh weird why cant I be a Get of Fenris>discover it's been rebranded to "cult of fenris" and are bad guysEVERYTHING about v5 is fucking gay, holy shit. If I tried to ruin WoD for $1,000,000 I wouldn't have done this good of a job.
>>3466412I’m still salty over the tremere and that baali methuselah allowing the mary sue mud assamites to live
>>3466412yeah I dunno much about werewolf lore, but from a quick glance at their wiki these guys got butchered in 5e. being boiled down to "le bad facists" and thats it with no nuance. it goes from gauru that (understandably) see humans as lesser and weak to just a strawman for racists. I don't think you can even side with them if you want to in the cyoa which is dumb, let the monsters be fucking monsters nuWoD
>20 bucks>WoD 5E>it’s the Pon Para guy so you know the stat checks are going to be nonsensical, which makes the CHOOSING part of the CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE a pain in the assNope, not reading that shit.
>>3466422Ehh, Night Road checks weren't...that bad, I think?
>>3466419(me) also old WoD art just has so much more soul than nuWod its not even funny. I visibly cringed when I saw the portrait for melodie in her human form
>>3466413For me, it's how Sabbat how borderline erased to make place for Anarchwanking.
>>3466426Umm...why does your hunter have fangs?
>>3466429those aren't fangs its his cheek and his massive pearly whites, I got this from a hunter book
>>3466422It actually is surprisingly awful and I hate it.>20 stat checks without the option to level up anything yet>your WEREWOLF suffers aggravated damage from sleeping inside an abandoned Massachusetts house in the winter, something homeless do without issue.>this KEEPS HAPPENING (I have suffered 3 agg damage out of 4 health while bee-lining it to the housing option)>need cash but no option to just rob people>chose to hitchhike and game says only a tranny helped me and he was cool and on his way to MA to get his "top surgery">for some fucking reason my character kept calling him a woman, so I guess he thinks Michael Jackson was white due to surgery>Finally meet another werewolf by following clues that he used to date some white chick, meet him, of course he's black>regenerating makes you lose your werewolf powers for a while instead of being automaticThe game is so terrible mechanically and ambiently and it feels like all the awful stuff doesn't have to be there, like it was handpicked and thrown into a system and story that worked otherwise. It's as if some herpes-ridden jew took a decent game and pissed on it out of spite.
How long until people realize Night Road was always shit?
>>3466433I realized it on my first try. I was bored to death. In fact, I say all the game fromThe World of Darkness series is shit.
>>3466432>black werewolfthis mind breaks the anon. though to be fair yeah The author was leaning into the progressive shit a bit much. all the characters talking about how get of fenris are facists, the prog rock concert with "antifacists" ect. WoD has always been punk and kinda hippie, especially werewolf, but modern day "Progressivism" definitely takes center stage compared to the older editions anti authority and individualistic tone
>>3466427>the beckoninga piss poor attempt at writing them off, should’ve done something similar to the week of nightmares or something >some power hungry lasombra or antitribu finds the “torpored body of a 3rd gen or methuselah>daddy vamp isn’t in torpor and fucks everyone up in the surrounding area>uses blood magic to lure in other sabbat to kill them all off because he’s that pettystill extremely bad but still nominally better than the beckoningand why the need to write the sabbat off btw? anarchs are unironically a bunch of boot licking cunts, the sabbat were the true anarchs/rebels
I'm so glad mage the ascension hasn't gottened V5'd yet. Hopefully paradox goes out of buisness before they ever set their gaze on it
>>3466438and too add since the tzimisce are trans icons now, why would they try to write off the sect where they have the most power and influence?
>>3466438>and why the need to write the sabbat off btw?Because they're too evil for most of their audience so they got le wholesome rebels for them to play instead. IIRC they doubled down so bad on the evil Sabbat thing so much their 5e thing read like the whole faction is just your shovelheads and nothing else.
>>3466443>wanting to prevent gehenna >too evil lol, also>rebels against their elders>somehow they’re considered less anarchistic and rebellious than the anarchs sucks to be a sabbat fag rn
>>3466446Gehenna isn't real, didn't you hear? White Wolf got bought by the Camarilla.
>>3466413for me its how hunters have been rewritten to be government shills, and the fact that all the secret governmental organizations of all the countries coincidentally realized there where vampires and totally set aside their differences to form an international organization. and there is no vamp corruption in this organization. I miss the conspiracies that weren't SI, basically everyone got swept aside and now SI are the defacto leaders of hunters. I hate that, I like when hunters where a fragemented force of everyday people that saw through the veil and want to fight back, not government agents.
Is the new werewolf game any good?
AMR2 fucking when.
>>3466463eh
>>3466463I hate it. See >>3466432 plus they turned the Get of Fenris clan into "le heckin fascists" because they dont like humans. Half the werewolves you talk to also hate and callously slaughter humans for getting in the way, but the Get of Fenris were white so they're fascists about it. Also it's the Cult of Fenris now. And no, you can't side with them or be from them. Meanie enemies only.
Does the game actually address how weird it is to be a male Black Fury?
>>3466470nope I don't remember the game ever saying "your a dude so it'll be a bit tougher/weirder for you to join". they treat it like any other tribe
>>3466468>>3466469>Werewolves continue to be the worst SplatNow if only we got a cyoa that exposed how terrible and gay every convention besides Iteration X and the Void Engineers are to the general populace...
CAN WE GET 1 (ONE) GOOD CYOA RELEASE THIS YEAR? HOLY SHIT
>>3466495We got the Aura Clash update.
>>3466495unsupervised
>>3466497That’s a WIP.>>3466501Zaper… I said this year, not next year…
>>3466501it's not coming out this decade bro...
>>3466495Star Crystal Warriors Go! is going to blast every other COG game out of the water so hard that no more CYOA games will be released since they peaked there and then.
>>3466507you know what, I actually think a magical girl cyoa could work.
>>3466501
>>3466507That legit could be cool if the author actually likes the genre.
You know now that I think about it, since Zaper was fully ready to release Unsupervised at the start of the year but had it delayed till next year. He could already be working on a Sequel even if its not officially out yet.
>>3466514You’re so optimistic, anon…
>>3466507I just pray to all known gods that author is not a Madoka fan.
>>3466521hahahahaa
>>3466522What, they are?
I’m looking at the screenshots on the Steam page for the magical girl game, and in all of them there’s ONLY three choices to choose from…A bad omen.
>>3466521Should go with copying Sailor Moon desu, some absolute bullshit happened in those arcs and SM herself regularly had to bring back all of her friends, earthlings and eventually the whole universe back to life
>>3466521The title says that it's a retro magical girl story while Madoka and all of its derivatives are the modern take so I doubt it would have the same beats. Regardless I wouldn't be surprised if it has choices about rebelling against your shady power giving pet companion or something like that.
>>3466507I can't wait to be a magical boy of light and justice TM
>>3466557this, who the fuck wants to be a girl?
>>3466559Everyone
>Can't refuse the call to actionJust give me a game over if I pick it but at least give me the choice!
>>3466562I’d be an ugly bitch though :/
>>3466564You're already an ugly bitch, sweetie :)
>>3466564Your in luck then. These are what the characters look like.
>>3466563nah that shit sucks, writers shouldn't pander to fags who refuse to engage with the story
>>3466507Can't wait to romance the rival magical girl (40yo)
>>3466344I'm absolutely appalled. This is the kind of posts we could see on the official forums, yet this faggot felt it was fine to write it here. I implore you, go back and never return.
>>3466563I feel that my right to choose my own adventure through a fully-fleshed out and tabula rasa protagonist on whom the writers didn't inflict any semblance of dependency is infringed by the inability to vocalize that I just want to blow up people.
>>3466566
>>3466565rude! :0>>3466566dropped
>>3466567Naturally, and that's why its a game over.
>>3466566It's CoG art, I would be surprised if it was *good*
zaper hasn't actually posted itts recently and I'm a bit concerned
>>3466681He put himself in Cyrosleep until CoG releases his game.
>>3466495We get tea and scones next year by the latest. I think
>>3466681He was placed into the time chamber so he could work on the unsupervised DLC, just two more weeks, trust the plan.
>>3466681Locked into the CoG basement until he rewrites the whole game.
Don't you love when you know for a fact that the second the internet goes down you will no longer be able to play a certain game? Hell if their servers ever crash or their data gets corrupted how much of yours will also be lost because they demand an internet connection?Sure it resynched again shortly after, but that's not the point
>>3466698Thats why I keep my favorite games on multiple machines. And also emulators, citra shutdown lmao.
>>3466698>cyberpunk memes
>>3466704There really should be one massive torrent of all the games an emulator can run. Download it and start seeding, takes Vimms lair for instance. It's a nice repository but the second it gets shutdown then its gone. I know some other emulator sites refuse to host Nin Ten Do products or emulators for fear of being shut down so if Vimms shuts down then that's another knock against preservation.
>>3466712Well (I) for one like it.
>>3466698The dev should just release a version where I don't need to use energy or that other retarded shit to play, I would be willing to pay nearly forty bucks for it.
Zaper's discord reads like a retirement home. poor sods really think that war for the west 2 will be released in our lifetime
>>3466716The action system is the weirdest and weakest part about it. For example, there is the in game time which can progress hour by hour after doing actions. But there is also the real world time, for example I have had broken rips and a major wound for a while now. But after a day passing IRL the game acknowledges that time passed and my character has a bunch of stats moved and gets "Gone one day without sleep). But when I start to play again time in game hasn't moved, and its still the exact same time I left it game at. I even get a day passed towards the healing of my bones because of the IRL passage of time, rather than in game passage of time.It's like the two systems are fighting each other, it's weird. I get that he is trying to do a microtransaction thing where you buy binges and credits in order to play more but there is not a way in hell I am going to do that. I would prefer to spend the 40 bucks as you say to buy the game outright then to support that kind of system.
The system to me is clearly financially motivated as can be shown in the DLC section. In the steam reviews whenever people complain about it or ask why he either links to his FAQ or other peoples steam reviews
As an example of the steam review bit, here is some guy complaining about the action point limitation and the business model. To which the dev responds by locking the negative reviews comment and linking it to a completely different steam review which has its own comments unlocked. It's a weird tactic and I have not seen any other dev use this method before.

>>3466788>Crud is right! You are dead!
>>3466791I brew up :(
>>3466788>2009That game is almost old enough to post on 4chan
>>3466788Answering "no" and "?" constantly does unique things, even if the game simply repeats the loop ad nauseum. It's... certainly something.
>>3466788Malkavians at it again.
>>3466807nah I think a visionary made this one. by the way how the fuck do I work with having a visionary being in the party of my first game as a storyteller for hunter
Which is the Crime and Punishment of CYOA's?
>>3466863Morey town
>>3466867ain’t that a furry game?
>>3466872Yes, but it has crime and punishment in it.
Games with literally me in it?
>>3466926Aura Clash. You are the background tailor who dies by accident after a cultivator threw a boulder from miles away and it crushed you when it landed
>>3466698How many people here actually play that game?
is the book of hungry names any good?
>>3467219It's probably the most pozzed game I've played yet. Not even worth playing it for free just an utter waste of time.
>>3466718> Zaperhe’s a boy lover
>>3467219Not at all.
what happened to that mass mother murderer(think that was the title??) wip?
>>3467267Sammy threw a fit when he found out that his game is too edgy for CoG to publish, so he ran away to some freemium gem system shovelware publisher. You can see how well it went from how he crawled back to CoG like a battered wife in the end.
>>3467362(didn’t one cog game have rape in it?$)unfortunate though , any edgy wips or games?
>>3466716>>3466730He isn't ever going to remove it. As I keep saying, the action system is a fundamental part of the game is designed around to keep you trapped on a treadmill so that you'll still keep engaging with the game months, years later without exhausting all of the actual content. It's a 2.6 mil word game, big, sure, but you'd still run out of stuff to in a maybe a month or two and he adds new stuff that makes CoGger patreon bait look like someone with a work ethic. So you get the energy system, menaces, busywork filler. Even when we played with the energy cheat everyone got burnt out a month or so after release due to how little there is to actually do there and how everything else is still designed as filler around energy system.Case in point: you know the dojo? How it takes massive amount of time to pump one (1) stat a bit? Well, now imagine this: stretch isn't nerfed yet; overtraining isn't a thing yet; you have infinite energy; you set up an auto-clicker to abuse that infinite energy. It still took forever to get that (1) stat boost.>It's like the two systems are fighting each other, it's weird. IBecause the passage of time in-game was reworked after release. Back then it would simply stop at 'Almost daylight' and stay there forever unless you got a new day irl.
>pg.9new thread mongoloids NOW!!!
>>3467405Not yet, dumbass.
>>3467405You aren't on /vg/, dummy, relax.
>>3467405We almost got banned once. Sit on your ass and shut up.
>>3466698I actually kind of enjoy the game, but the content updates are rather slow, so I always take a 3-month pause before I play for two weeks.
>>3467460>the content updates are rather slowNow that's a fucking understatement. How long ago were the Badlands supposed to come out? Two years ago?
