>cheat mode apparently gets cheat romanceIt should have been my mortal limits character, not him!
eldrabros, what did you pick first? it makes sense to pick dragon nest as early as possible but that third element is just way too tempting to pass..>>3957796Oh, so i can't romance her with my normal character? anon you fucking hack
>>3957796Spoiler me, and it better not be the ojousama you met after the dragon trial
>>3957800The other Jade Dragon you meet
>>3957791
>>3957805What makes a being so butthurt?
What if cultivator-anon performs the ancient technique of child labor and has his kids make the art for Aura Clash?
>>3957808Reverse axecop?Could work
>>3957807It's only logical that faggots are permanently asspained.
>>3957787Pretty sure he customized twine to make it look like a CoG game. The familiar CoG feel but you have twine saving and probably other shit.
>>3957796Eh I support the idea. It not only makes Jade Dragon more than just a cheat mode, giving an incentive to actually try it, thank to all other special events it gets, but it's also somewhat unreasonable for the six thousand year old dragon to suddenly fall for your dumb teenage self. You are a couple hundred years to young for that.
>>3957791>muh AI art bad for games ok.this pic related is AIgen. but you can just get a nuclear mushroom from stock photos anyway.
>>3957799pick Dragon Nest for copyright infringement.

Bird cult game has been updated https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/wip-grey-swan-birds-of-a-rose-update-3-4-26-roughly-270k/137474
So now that some time has passed:>making your parents get aurasyay or nay
>>3958008Astoria still cucked and butchered?
>>3958012yup, new romances were introduced and the update itself is 20k words. Better to wait for the next update, it’s mostly flavor text for the new romances
>>3958009Yay, they're on grandkids duty for the next 200 years.
>>3958018They can just sit home, use buffer's barrier to get a bit of aura each year and every couple of days generate a shard or two by condensing their chi. The blacksmith probably gets the most of it if he wants to stay in his job, the herbalist has to go full alchemist because picking reagents is too dangerous but the trapper father might get kneecapped. >>3957941I think it's some confused newfag. No idea why he is here.
Cultivator-anon-san, loredive doko?
>Flagrant fanboy threads are not allowed
>>3957863>but it's also somewhat unreasonable for the six thousand year old dragon to suddenly fall for your dumb teenage selfi understand but i think i will still disagree. the impression she gives is that she just loves life/the world, down to the smallest things, i don't think she ever once treated simple people like you would expect from a being that old and powerful and the small things of life were never bellow her (then again i did not do all routes and she's a new character)so i think that if the feeling did appear, it also makes sense that she would accept
>>3958009Nay ofc, that is kinda one of the major points of the plot, each person chooses their path in life.
>nor are threads for the purpose of instigating a flamewar
>>3958004Oh that doesn't count.
>>3958085When you think about it, being soul-related is even closer than being blood-related.
>>3958090Guess we should finally ditch our siblings then.
>>3957948daddy issues literally
>>3958103That reminded me of that part when people laughed at us for having a well adjusted nuclear family.

>>3958121She's the karmic palm girl or whatever? I liked her, why wasn't she a romance?
>>3957791>the perfect woman is fitzer
>>3958144>irish gingerNot perfect.
>>3958138>I liked her, why wasn't she a romance?It's a Mei Mei game. If you aren't going for her, you aren't playing the game correctly. So sayeth Nicky.
>>3958147>It's a Mei Mei game. If you aren't going for her, you aren't playing the game correctly.I remember when that was a shitpost.
>>3958131Alchemy is still THE STRONGEST skill in the game.
>>3958147I never bothered romancing her, is it actually good bros? Also I don't like being submissive so is it still worth reading even then?
>>3958149You have it goddamn right.

>>3958045Is there a thread; instigating a flame war, anon?
>>3958157Sorry I'm dyslexic.
>>3958161Kek
>>3958131Reminds me I need to add an event if you fail the first antedote attempt where if you're in good standing with a certain old man, an imperial clerk stops you from drinking your failed elixir and tells everyone tampering is prohibited, then hands you your 'unaltered' antedote, whispering that Fuyu sends his regards. had a bunch of little fun stuff get cut when I lost the 2 days I took off to write and had to watch the kids instead. Btw was the new super game any good?
>>3958165This but make it human only, racism is always cool in video games.
>>3958165Anon, Desdemona's father is a human and her laborer mother was a lunargoth, right? And since Desdemona is a lunargoth too, does that mean her mother had higher AP than her father? Or is Xianyu Chou a self-hating lunargoth?
Are all ze gamecrashing bugs fixed? I wanna know if I can go play it.
>hadn't trigged Desdemona romance on the JD run Fuck me, denied goth titties.
>>3958169It's stable now.>>3958170How the fuck it's so easy.
>>3958171Was being loyal to the fluffy tail in that run specifically.
>>3958171Nta but it happened to me once on a previous build. If you don't play Kiihakai, go for the pelt and don't select her in Harehama/skip the tavern for extra time on sea, it is possible to get not enough romance flags to sleep with her on Guarded Blossom. But that was on the previous build, you can get more flags in her personal quest now. But I also think you can kill the romance if you decide to fish instead of holding her hand when returning.
Am I the only one who feels like Desdemona is basically just witch fubuki? She even has a group of mediocre followers who listen to be big shit
>>3958174>you can kill the romance if you decide to fish insteadHappened to me once.
>>3958176In... in a game, right?
>>3958175>ListenPretend.
>>3958177No :( but I've learned a valuable lesson that day. If she doesn't like your hobby it won't work out.
>>3958179You should have taken her to the closest railway station to observe trains together. That's always fun.
>>3958165As of the most recent update, I no longer have the option to buy out the tavern at which you are staying in ch9, no clue if it's intentionally removed.On the other note, same as it ever was, bloodfuel doesn't work.
>>3958187Oh yeah and another thing I've noticed is that the guard points from the kiihakai technique do not disappear when you unfocus it. The game still retains the guard points and prevents damage with an empty name in place of the technique name.
>>3958121I wonder how will we job if we're not actually fighting. I'm sure Niki will find a way.
Kyle marquis! save meee, i need another wodslop game to obsess over
I need to come up with a different name for characters, this is getting more ridiculous by the chapter
>spare the lightbringer to see if anything about the Sakura fight would change>It's the exact sameWhat's even the point of giving you the option of sparing it at all outside the damage check?That's what I get for not killing everything that attacks me.
>>3958350Mercy towards your enemies is almost always a suckers game.Killing the lightbringer sets a permament variable and sakura does mention her finishing off the fish pisses off the wild god. So assuming it ever shows up again, it will very quickly turn into your problem.I say not getting the godthreaded belt is a far bigger problem though.
>>3958353And you get more imperial points for sparing lightbringer but honestly, you should be able to get 7s and 8s constantly if you know what you are doing.
>Sure Sakura I can MAYBE fix your fuck up>Now, please wear this skimpy, tavern wench outfit. We need more unpaid servants for our tavern gig>Yes, the fox tail buttplug and fake ears are necessary for working in this fine establishment
>>3958353>spoilerthat just means more AP to harvest
>>3958325Changeling: The Dreaming soon Trust the plan
>>3958353>godthreaded beltThe Godslayer is more fun for me, even if you can craft a weapon almost as strong while nothing compares to the belt. I hope we get ways to improve the sword further.
Is AC already ported into twine? Cause the UI just looks like CS.
>>3958381It has been ported since October.
>>3958382Damn. The UI sucks then.
>>3958385He intentionally made it resemble choicescript, for better or worse. Personally, I don't give a damn.
Is your first element your yin or yang element? Also is there a way to switch the yin/yang after locking them in?
>>3958386It's annoying to access the different menus through the stat screen. You can easily just make a new button for handseals/alchemy/techniques/etc with twine so I don't see this autistic need to keep COG's shitty UI.
>>3958389Fair enough.
>>3958388Can't remember which is first. But there's now way to switch them and the bonus is small enough that it's not worth matching them up.
>>3958388Yin elements are Darkness, Earth, Ice and WaterYang elements are Wind, Storm, Light, Water and FireFirst element that you choose in Chapter 3 Shugendo training will always go into Yin Slot (1st slot)Storm Element (Chapter 3), Darkness Element (Chapter 5), Water Element (Chapter 6) or Memorywell Elixir Elements will go into first free slot that is availiableFire Element from burned tavern will always go to Yang Slot (2nd slot)You optimally want to get yin element in your yin slot and same for yang.Gets better bonuses when you equip the elemental crests
>>3958398>Water is yin and yangI'm pretty sure only darkness, earth and ice are yin.
The element system in AC is way too complicated. There are too many of them and a couple feel redundant. Like, why does ice need to be its own element when water exists? And the order of the yin yang element being locked means your basically required to use the memorywell elixir on yourself since some of them can't be acquired in your Yang slot through other means.
>>3958389>You can easily just make a new button for handseals/alchemy/techniquesNot a bad idea
>>3958405I realized that was basically true, so I already changed it on the ch9 release to automatically apply yang elements to your 2nd slot (yang) if it's open. Also the reason Ice, Light, and Darkness are elements at all is AC was originally supposed to be a tabletop card game and I wanted 8 elements so that four players could have 2 without buying a second set of cards. I made the IF to advertise the shitty card game, then it blew up so I dropped the card game.
>>3958405My issue is more balance wise. I do not think it's better to advance them over your main style so , they stay novice rank and you just boost with items. Unless they were hidden if you lack requirements, I do not think anything in chapters 8/9 required beyond Adept
>>3958411For each point of mastery you get a bigger boost to checks where they are used. Being a novice gives a plus one to check, expert plus two and so on, same thing with the styles. The only advancement that's almost always better for the style is the Daichi one that gives a technique, the rest just depend on what you want.
>>3958406Personally, I'd make a sidebar. There's so much empty space on the left and right of the screen. Seems a shame not to fill it with something.
Finally beaten the last chapter, now the waiting begins againAs a sidenote, I tried drinking the memory well elixir around the time during Sakura fight and I couldn't pick to boost my Fire element despite the Dragon trial finale being in a Fire & Earth(?) gate according to Jack. Not sure if bug or an oversight since anon probably didn't expect anyone to still have the elixir at this pointTime to replay and give it to Jin so I can actually see his part of the last chapter instead of jobbing Someone please give me a qrd on how to check the code like here >>3957948
Don't know how, but I'm permanently stuck with 5 extra silver I can't convert into shards.

I just want more WoDslop personally, I was kind of sour on Hunter as an IP but after Glenkildove I kind of get it now. Too bad there aren't that many good writers or ideas, a wraith CoG game could be quite kino
>>3958476I'm waiting for the mage cyoa.
>>3958476White Wolf is only licensing v5 games so no Changeling, no Mage, and no Wraith. Those don't have a book in v5 yet.
>>3958476Fuck WoDslop. I'd take any other kinda slop over more gay vampires or whatever.
>>3958476>>3958496I just want more slice-of-life slop. I'm tired of fantasy and magic and war and martial arts and superheroes and supernatural shit
>>3958508Just write it.
>>3958508Nigga, you were born in a slice of life universe.Just go outside and talk to people and engage in whatever activities you want, you don't need fiction for this.
what color are AC onis?
>>3958528All the colors of the wind
So is Fang's trial quest in the game? Cause it's greyed out for me.
>>3958532Nope.Only new quest was Desy
I want big strong red and blue oni girls who drag me off for mating.
>>3958534>red oniI think we'll get that.
cultivator anon, I just gotta know: will jack become a romance option? enemies to lovers is a very popular trope after all.
>>3958401Water is both yin and yang. I think anon was concerned that water, an element that is notoriously ignored in fiction, would be ignored in Aura Clash as well so he made it easier to implement in builds as a freebie.The thing is, we are mostly in coastal areas for now so he also has to write it to interact with it, thus making the element decently strong.
>OP is pic of a romance from game>Tripfag author treating this thread as his personal blogspot and making off-topic posts >off handily mentioning his wife and children >low-effort reddit cringe memes>90% of the thread is just spamming/flooding the same questions that were asked and answered in previous threads >just to keep the game as the main topic of discussion and stifle/shut down discussion of other games This is an unironic fanboy thread lol
keep saying it
Don't interact.
>>3958557tsmt.mods need to take this matter seriously
this, make your own shitty Cultivator general
>>3958556It helps that kiihachads get to immediately raise it to tier 2. It's a no brainer auto include.
>>3958508>I just want more slice-of-life slopYou and me both
>>3958570Kind of a shame that if you already have water from the temple, you still end up with level 2. Anon could have at least given a bit of AP as a consolation prize. Even the deception bonus is not that good if you intend to cash the writ in for a skillbook.
>>3958567They tried on /tg/ multiple times alreadyif this isn't proof of a shill OP, then i don't know what is
>>3958572A lesson for the future runs. And it's not like you need that insight boost with how abundant insight raising bonuses are. I think a real shame is that light still doesn't have a a non-temple related method to be acquired. I remember someone saying that fighting lightbringer would give you the opportunity to do so but I haven't seen that option.
>>3958574I think that Rin's quest which was cut could partially help with that. It's supposed to be another shugendo training with her and Desdemona. Depending how it's going to be designed, it could take less time but not give a skill point, so if you go water you can still benefit from Gong's teaching you, or you can pick light and something else later with Angelo.
>>3958557>>3958573wow this is very blatant! probably encourages his discord to regularly raid and spam the thread too!would explain why they would report bugs here instead of on the discord itself, or his email which is readily available on his patreon! very sus!
>>3958579>so if you go water you can still benefit from Gong's teaching youYou still do. The only thing you miss out if you grab water element in ch6 is some loot and an artifact that boosts your yang element that is arguably worthless because it doesn't raise a skill. Even on runs without water element, I pretty much never use it.
>>3958414Isn't having a sidebar with your stats visible like default twine stuff?
>>3958585Yin and Yang crest combo for core and skill boost on top of having two elements on Adept at least is pretty strong.Not sure which two accessories combined are better if you have proper element slotting
>>3958573cultivators are overrated and gay
Best elements for kiihakai?
>>3958622I am a big fan of light for it
>>3958622storm and light imo, focus on dodging and energy attacksthough i should warn you that this could block you from getting trained by eldra? she mentions you need a yin and yang element or smth..
>>3958585>You still do.You can get up to 3 skill points from him. One of your choice from the skillbook, one to persuasion from his technique, and the last one to deception if it is 1 or 0. If you pick water in the temple, you get a free point to deception and if you have enough loot in your ships, you get a technique that gives you another one, thus raising it to 2, which makes you waste a point.
>>3958622Light/Darkness imo
>>3958628It's 2 or lower>t. passively gets 1 deception from kitsune racial and 1 from that one technique and still grabs the +1 deception from gong
>>3958630My bad, maybe it was 3 instead. I remember missing it once long ago, maybe I played a kitsune kiihakai with water shugendo then.But on the other side, you don't really need that much deception. Even if you have 2 points after Gong's tutelage, you can float one extra point by handseals and another one by equipping the kusarigama from Guiren's quest so you end up with 4 and the one point you put into something else contributes to your build.
>>3958634That's the thing though. It's all passive gain from stuff you were doing already as a kitsune>+1 from racial that also makes your handseals cheaper>+1 from a technique that you primarly use to lower the price of everything by 10%>+1 from gong that's just a bonus to getting a skill book and a skill that lowers the price of everything by another 10%That's already enough to beat basically every deception check. Then you can also get another +1 deception when forming a foundation with Yang's help on top of a free element, skill and core improvement.And then yeah, you can also just equip that sword you get for free from guiren's quest for another free point of deception, Though I just create several weapons that are all enchanted with a different skill boost anyway to switch them in and out as another set of handseals.
>>3958619Anon, you're talking to a tranny raid. Aura Clash is the only game made from these threads when some anon asked for a big tiddy goth gf (we got Desdemon). The CoG offsite fags raid us every time an update comes out to whine and spread drama because someone dares to talk about a game, their posts usually get deleted eventually.
jack romance confirmed!?
>>3958622Nevermind that, what is the best yinyang combo for Aoyusumu?>>3958557Aoyusumu is the true protagonist's choice because it gives you the coolest mentor.
>>3958646>best yinyang combo for Aoyusumu?Wind Water
>>3958646Fuckin, how the hell did that post thing get in? I didn't even click it?
>>3958649>Wind WaterI know it'd be too much annoying and troublesome to code all that shit but am I the only one who feels like it'd be cooler if some elements were a hidden combo? Like Wind and Water forming Storm, or Light and Darkness forming some Yingyang shit.
>>3958650Small indie website, preasu understandu
>>3958658>I the only one who feels like it'd be cooler if some elements were a hidden combo?Everyone would like that but I can't see anon implementing it without extending the work by at least half.
>>3958662True, but it WOULD be cool. I just generally enjoy combo abilities. It would also help because I like the storm ability but using it alongside water feels redundant, despite water being very useful in this game.
>>3958490WoD is really kinda fucked since they're financially disincentivized from ever licensing out older editions, despite almost universal consensus that V5 sucks ass.
Games?

>>3958745well then, discuss what you liked or disliked about each game if you would.
Is there a limit to the number of techniques you can learn in AC?
>>3958747I remember in the choicescript version it was hardcoded to limit you to 25. I don't think that changed.
I wish there were more games like A Midsummer Night’s Choice, CoG mainline games peaked right there
>>3958746>sword of rhivenia!Richard drama is stupid, but I liked the sister.>starways saga!The Expanse ripoff>PactbinderReally liked the start of the game but nothing happens for 160k words.>Officer of the fleetWants to be a sabres of infinity copy and doesn't do anything different, you either stick with a build or you fail, I like it though because I cheat stats
>>3958750>Wants to be a sabres of infinity copy and doesn't do anything differentNothing wrong with that. We wouldn't be nearly in as dire a need for cyoa vidya if more people took that approach.
>>3958750>and doesn't do anything different, you either stick with a build or you failI'd argue Officer has a more flourishing meta. Infinity only has one build where you don't intentionally shoot yourself in the foot (the one where you're great at everything), Officer has three (pick two stats and dump the third, you can't be good at everything and all combinations are viable).>>3958748>hardcoded to limit you to 25I just so happen to have a save with 26, so apparently that's not the case.
>>3958783Malocchio supposedly adds 10 to the limit, so either the limit isn't there anymore, the limit isn't working or mallocchio is working as intended.>Officer has three (pick two stats and dump the third, you can't be good at everything and all combinations are viable)Only the case if you are playing into the Enders Game gimmick of playing as a kid. 18 year old start + either admiral's child or mining ship captain's child gives you enough stats to excel at every aspect short of some absurd 75+ checks.
>>3958783The code is here but it's either not working properly or some techniques don't increase the counter.
>>3958791twine code looks disgusting but what do I know about itt. not a coder
>>3958792It does have a lot of gibberish compared to choicescript, but thankfully it's nothing you can't quickly clean up with the replace all feature of your text editor.
>>3958783What are you talking about. The so called optimal build in Sabers cannot clear one absurd soldiering check in the secret mission in guns. This means that it is not the best in all scenarios so there's no reason to call the game unbalanced and boring.I still don't understand why Wang refuses to fix how stupid the stat gains are in Sabers or some way to increase stats in Guns or Lord's.
>>3958801>The so called optimal build in Sabers cannot clear one absurd soldiering check in the secret mission in guns. This means that it is not the best in all scenarios so there's no reason to call the game unbalanced and boring.This but unironically.

I'm assuming this isn't supposed to happen.
>>3958555He already is if you play a female character
>>3958783>lightbringer summoninghow do you get that?
>>3958899Nta but he plays Kurokonton so the game probably allows stealing this technique from Sakura.
>>3958899You get it when you use Malocchio transformation against Sakura in ch9
>>3958815>Chains of Destinydid he complete the chapter? or are there still grayed out choices?
>>3958915It got a new update but I didn't play it yet so idk.
Okay, from now on Jin gets his elixir on every run.
>>3958960peak design
>forgot the name i've used for my thunderfaller since the first time i playedPAINI know the surname I used was Hyperion, but I can't fucking remember the name...
>>3958749Was that the one with the Hag Knight and Fairy romances?Actually all the romances were peak.I just didn't care for the setting/tone of the cyoa.
>>3959010Cantos, perhaps?I generally use the same name for all my characters.It actually caused an autistic schism within me when Highlands Deep Waters asked me to name a second protag.I didn't know what to do and was instantly put off.Haven't been able to touch the game since.
>>3959034No, it was something that started with "A", I know. I'm just not sure what.
>>3959034I can't for the life of me come up with character names but also usually hate all the default choices presented to me. I have one name I reuse for every playthrough for this reason and it's also the reason why I never play as female MCs - I can't name them
I just know that isobel killed wulfram’s family, on accident thoughShe probably wanted her glowies to kidnap and use them as leverage for negotiations, but the retards fucked up and accidentally burnt everything down instead
>>3959104It was definitely not an accident
>>3959109what would be the point of killing his family and pushing him to the edge?
>>3959132People will say it was muh elves, but it was totally the Glowies. Isobel benefitted from it the most.
>>3958815>Chains of DestinyI want to like this game. But there's just so much bloat.
They just explained this stuff a couple scenes ago and I already can't remember what any of these do.
>>3959219Just go by rule of cool and pick Kaito
>>3959219ICL turning time back is way too cool and regeneration sounds badass but Kaito has so much aura I had to pick him since we aren't seeing any of these archon abilities in the calendar year ( probably not the next one either ! )
>>3959136I just don’t see the benefits for her. I guess having the nobles under wulfram would give her the excuse to centralize power into the capital and the monarchy. the main downside now is that she’s essentially the tian emperor’s bitch
>>3959132Same reason they did it to Khoroborit. To incite him to do something rash so they can arrest him. If you'd remember, the royalist faction was pretty much fucked after the king died.
>>3959222>>3959227But ...he talks ...like this.
>>3959239much to his great despair
>>3959239Misnamed I meant the golden old man, the bull has aura too tho
>>3958815>chains of destinyI am so assblasted when authors write a route and DON'T FINISH IT. Why dangle it in front of my face if I'll get a "WORK IN PROGRESS" dialogue line or choice?
>>3957791It may just be me. But it feels like Fang lost half her braincells after the storm gate. She was pretty normal when you first meet her right?
>>3959268Born to be a cute retard, forced to act cool.
>>3958508>>3958520As a fantasy enjoyer primarily, I kind of get it. Real life has a lot of boring elements that SoL skips over. SoL is kind of like life on speed, which can be based and fun if well written. I usually find it doesn't have enough drama or misery porn for me to enjoy though

And if you have Steelthread Alliance on your side, one of them will appear just before the last part of the trial to gift you a horse if you are under 3.Exact choices depend on your route but in my last run, I was able to get 3 beasts thanks to Steelthread and also execute the scorpion beast for its treasure.
>>3959345I guess someone would want most skill to have a good payoff at ranks 4-5, be it immediately or with a crucial stat check. Or perhaps handseals/alchemy should be toend down
>>3959350>I guess someone would want most skill to have a good payoff at ranks 4-5I take 2 points of craft because I can easily increase it to 3 at will, and multiple checks want just that number, but with some gear or techniques I can raise it further to 4 or 5 if I need it.On multiple occasions, craft can let you bypass another check that you could fail, and at multiple instances, it lets you make some decent money. It's a good skill, the only thing that needs to be corrected is for it to generate more guard points for armor. I don't think it works as intended as of now.
>>3957791Started playing Aura Clash yesterday when I finally saw an ad on my phone that wasn't some gay pedo tranny discord groomer shit, and I'm enjoying it so far. I girlfriended the beggar girl but then fucked the priestess and then went back and fucked the beggar some more in the woods. I don't feel bad because I'm possessed by saikyo or however the chi is cycled, and I'm trying to be honorable and ruthless but I keep becoming too gentle, probably because I chose AoyusumuChosen element ice and I picked up fire earlier during the whole farmlands debacleI'm about to suck up a thundercloud the day before the tournament thing, beforehand I've managed to get my aura pressure up to 650 and my cores are at 4/3/2/5, not sure if that's good. I neglected most of my skills in favor of persuasion early on so it's at 6, but just now during the year of training I did manage to get handseals up to 3 (with the one that can boost it +1) so cycling got cheap enough with the passive handseal that makes it cheaper that I went ahead and converted my silver to shards and just dumped shards into cycling so I could get more cores. I got the weighted suit too and have been using it throughout, including fucking my beggar girlfriend kek.Other than that I taught her and the twins the buffing secret technique that I also studied so they're a bit stronger if I need them in the future, I have one underling from the farm mission. I managed to get all of my basic abilities to at least one point except deception and thievery because I'm a Justicechad, so hopefully I stop failing easy checks and losing bits of aura pressure.Don't know what else to say about the journey so far other than that Crusher Jack son heemed me in the first fight since I was putting everything into Persuasion, I have a merchant family/childhood, and I handled the second Crusher Jack encounter by jumping off the cliff and then throwing him off the cliff after absorbing the gate or whatever.

Top 10 favorite Aura Clash EPIC FAILS?
The board is fucking dead either way
>>3959388Just the one
>people post about a recently updated cyoa and use images related to it in the cyoa general>this causes the schizo to have a meltdownWhy is he like this?
I haven't read the latest 2 AC updates, anything good happen?
>>3959388>Top 10 favorite Aura Clash EPIC FAILS?this one
>>3959387Good thing I'm not making a thread.
>>3959395But that's good. The same people who mocked and disparaged the concept of free speech while picking at and threatening anyone and everyone who disagreed with them throughout the last 50 years should have the same tactics used against them to the fullest and to the pettiest using the retarded systems they created.
>>3959397he has a discord, he has a Reddit, and he has a support email where you could report these bugsno need to spam the thread with bug reports, it’s quite literally off-topic :
>>3959391He is in love with cultivator anon and is trying to get his attention.
>>3959404>discussing games is offtopicshut the fuck up holy shit
>>3959410dont reply to him, he always does this shit! even when I want to talk about other games he ghosts me it's sad...
>>3959410Posting images of a glitch or bug and saying nice isn’t a discussion! reminder if you want to report bugs, contact him on his official email (lol), his patreon, discord or Reddit!
>>3959404nta but there's been like one or two posts about bugs in the thread meanwhile you've been spamming up the thread with extremely similar posts about your schizo vendetta against something you personally dislike.
>>3959411ahem...>>3958744if you want we could discuss bastard of camelot instead? :3
>>3959414I havent played it in a while is it still that damn mess about how you feel about your dad's rayp or have we finally grown up? I liked how it was written mostly but this trauma worship gets tiring fast in my opinion. How do you feel about the games that are discussed here often? I only see you poast about AC so its hard to take you seriously my frend....
>>3959402He got fired from a job for posting stupid shit on discord. There's no violation of free speech going on. Is it violation of free speech when I get banned for posting porn on a blue board?
>retards are still taking the baitReport and ignore
So like I was asking, is 650 AP going into the thunder gate decent? I'm at the inn now in the next chapter and I'm on 725 because I cooperated with the dumb furry instead of claiming it all for myself.
>>3959415For some reason women really love writing your mc as an angsty fag with daddy issues. I mean you ITFO.
>>3959420Women can't relate to characters whose identity isn't centered around self-righteous victimhood excusing all of their misdeeds and outbursts and ill treatment of other people.
>>3959419It's fine. You're not going to be able to do everything, but you'll get through the game fine. You'll see people with AP in thousands, but they're exploiting alchemy/racial bonuses.
>>3959419Aura Clash is a rather forgiving game, unlike most in the genre. You won't spiral easily into a failure cascade. Rather than crunching numbers on your first playthrough, just go with the flow and have fun.
>>3959415>I only see you poast about ACoh a "new" fren lolread through >>3738664and >>3741627i talk alot about games!
>>3959420This sort of therapy worshiping trrauma cult behavior is really tiresome, it seems inescapable too. I know this is the CYOA bread but read any western novel ( webnovels in particular are quite awful in this regard ) and you can't escape this garbage, it's enfuriating. I started reading philosophy I was so done with this shit
>>3959358Very cool anon, try Jade Dragon Foundation after you finish that playthrough.
>>3959425cute twink, what game?
The snake trial sucks. Every other trial has various ways to succeed or do well, but that one requires you to be good at alchemy.
>>3959425tf is tianym a vampyr now?
>>3959430There are other ways to pass it and anon plans to add another one if Fuyu is on your side as well.
>>3959429>>3959432vtm: night road! you should totally play it!oh and be sure to play jolly good: tea and scones when it comes out! and romance best boy fitzie! our cute little irish twink :3
I don't get why having no cores locks you out of alchemy and handseals too.
oh and i almost forgot! be sure to play all world; pro wrestling on heart's choice! literally the best choice game made to date! even better than bastard of camelot!
>>3959418Bold of you to assume it's people taking the bait and not the shitskin in question talking to himself 24/7 because he's powerless to actually stop AC discussion.
>>3959435kause he's a hack who kept choicescrrupt ui for SENTIMENTALITY >>3959434I liked tally ho better
>>3959423Good enough. I was thinking about trying to scrape through early game and merchantmaxx to late power scale, but for a while the options to actually make money seemed limited except for whatever the merchant dad did, so I decided to just cycle it up. Probably should have converted my six gold coins too but I couldn't help thinking they might be able to buy different things in the "real world" later on. I also absorbed the book that blood gay was using, but didn't lean into the human sacrifice at all, so I might have handicapped myself a bit by not either destroying it for good guy points, or trading it for profits, or getting the full use out of it and going full emo mode.Also eating all the shards I could even after getting a foundation seemed like the play early on based on the few cultivation manga I read (martial peak/that one I always forget the name of where you are a prince with a spirit mother and reincarnate into the corpse of the peasant boy you fought with and then go be a spirit stone mining slave for a whole arc in a mountain mine with a yeti and so on)They do always be absorbing those medicines and crystals and fruits and so on no matter how broke they get>>3959427Yeah I was tempted to go for it but wanted my first playthrough to just be normal
>>3959437He is samefagging constantly, as can be seen now, but some tards do interact with this raging tranny unironically. They should have learned after 2+ years of him shitting our threads with impunity.
>>3959441I don't think I've ever seen him weigh in on anything infinity related that might be the repelent
>>3959441why do you think everyone posts in the same generals in the same boards constantly and remembers nano-e-celebs and their tantrums?
>>3959418Hey, I like AC. Doesn't mean his crashout wasn't cringe.
>>3959443He is actually a newfaggot that came here from tumblr and he played through infinity relatively recently. His questions were as retarded as you could have expected from him.>>3959444Here, have a (you) fujotranny. Don't spend it all at once.

>>3959435It's not that you just don't have cores. You don't have chi at all. Meaning you can't power handseals or do alchemy without proper tools.Atleast that's supposed to be the logic here, it kinda falls apart because you do use handseals like the one Leona gives you to instantly change clothes, or the one that lets you store equipment without trouble.
why are we talking about books
>>3959441>>3959443>>3959444>>3959445>>3959447>discord raid >off-topic posts>instigating a flame-war Oh no!
>>3959449Even as a mortal you have 4 basic mortal cores. After your core shatters, even these don't work anymore.
>>3959452Game specifically says your mortal cores still work tho
>>3959450I think reading is fun personally, I jumped to webnovels after seeing that all the IF's I care about are neverr EVER getting finished
>>3959440Honestly, I find the game more fun without that kind of minmaxing. There's some actual challenge with mortal limits. This isn't an infinity game where if you're not playing optimally you feel like a useless loser.
>>3959455Why not read actual novels? Webnovels are all slop.
>>3959458Because I kinda like slop, atleast in moderation. Reading actual books that require thinking is great as well but its not really the same experience what so ever
>>3959456I considered mortal limits but I wanted to throw around spirit magic and absorb more stuff during my first playthrough
Our Life: Beginning and Always is legitimately a cute game, you all should play it
>>3959419It's alright and the game isn't particularly difficult, but you could push it way higher. I usually end chapter 3 with about 1200 - 1300 AP by getting the most out of cycling.But since you remember to actually use cycling, I doubt you'll have many problems down the line or on repeat playthroughs.
>>3959462This! I really love the first one, and I love Now and Forever more! It’s just cozy and it represents me and my identity perfectly, I just love it :3
>imagine being so miserable you get a sliver of joy from samefaggingI would kys myself if I ever fell so low
>>3959466>KYS MYSELF look I hate triptroon as much as the next guy but you cannot be for real here bro
>>3959468>ou cannot be for real here broI am not. Congrats on catching that.
>>3959468he’s ESL so please forgive him! Anyway can you recommend me some games that are similar to our life? I like the coziness factor of the games
>>3959463I think I messed up a bit by not focusing on physical abilities and handseals more in the very early game. Luckily I picked up some benefits by reading all of the library stuff and buying weighted clothing, making some good aura bestowing dialogue choices, etc, etcAiyosumu with high soul is kino even untrained because you can spam stupid bullshit with combined handsign+soul checks and bigdick away most attacks early game with various redirecting bullshit
>triptroon>triperrr maybe you should lurk more newfren
>>3959465Then why didn't you post it? No, I will not play the pozzed sequel.
>>3959465I fucking love tamarack, she's so spunky
>>3959471As I mentioned, it's alright. Atleast personally, a lot of the fun I've gotten out of this game is picking up on these tiny mistakes while playing and correcting them in the next run which transfers into a visibly better character. So there's no real point in dreading "mistakes".
>>3959448why is Heart's Choice just all gay stuff or female MC with all male ROs. No male MC with female ROs or lesbian books
>>3959478Yeah I'm not really worried and am just roleplaying, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't getting shut out of everything later in the game for messing around lolI think my only goal is waifu collection, I may have messed up by not flirting with the lunargoth hard enough in the inn but it does seem pretty forgiving so I'm sure I'll have another chance if I ever had one
>>3959474but I did post it?>and I love Now and Forever more!Renee is the childhood friend of Qiu! Wish I could romance her instead…
>>3959479>No male MC with female ROsBecause guys like to beat the dragon and rescue the princess. Romancing the princess is 5 to 10% of the content, everything else is an adventure and fight.Women and faggoths who think like women can't empathise with that sentiment, they only want feefees and sex because they are soulless.
>>3959474cole is cute, but tamarack is just a special little munchkin, i love her so much
>>3959478>So there's no real point in dreading "mistakes".Not in Aura Clash but many of the choicescript games set you up for failure if you spread too thinly and the difficulty curve takes over you so you end up failing constantly. It was one of the criticisms we discussed years ago and I suspect anon took it to heart when designing his game.
>>3959483>feels are soullessit's actually the other way around. Slaying the dragon is soulless slop
>>3959482>wanting to date a literal trannyYou really have no standards
>>3959484True, she is fine. But I am not playing a tranny game.
>>3959479Because the audience they've cultivated is made up entirely of faggots and femoids. Rare few actual games being made with choicescript do not end up on Heart's Choice.It's like going into a section of a library that is dedicated to thinly veiled smut for women and wondering why it's all thinly veiled smut for women.
>>3959488>filipino tranny wants to date other tranniesCome on, dude, you are not actually shocked by this revelation.
>>3959488>trans people le bad!Renee is a more interesting character than Qiu, if anything they should’ve been a side character, they’re just so bland!
>>3959491No, but I will shit on his standards.
>>3959492>>trans people le bad!Yes
>>3959490why are there no dyke stuff then
>>3959494they’re not! renee is a well written trans character and acknowledges her faults in childhood and adulthood, you should replay the demo!>>3959497cause female writers dummy. male on male action is much more appealing to them
I had an idea for a sort of cultivation webcomic I wanted to make back years ago, but instead of cultivation it would actually fuse a lot of other pan-eastern mysticism influences and energy systems that you can sort of discover, specialize in, and get synergies between like you get synergies within different styles and techniques of actual cultivationI was going to use it to practice drawing but I'm better at writing and I think it's better as a written story maybe with some AI scenery and character art anyways like soul clash hasBut on the other hand it was going to be part cultivation parody, part general anime culture parody, and the other half just mindlessly indulging my specific fetish over and over to the point that also becomes parodyBut I don't know where I can freely host something with nsfw elements, even if they were confined to text onlyOr if anyone would even have any interest in it, I mean I'd be making it mostly for my own amusement but I have absolutely no money to spare to host my own site for something like that (because I have spent it all on spirit medicines naturally)And I worry that the depth, breadth and detail of my fusion magic systems and worldbuilding and descriptive paragraphs might clash with everything being a joke and the constant erotic content under various pretenses, for potential players
>>3959500*a text-based game I mean, not written story
>>3959494game is so boring desuno real consequences for any choices and no one really gets mad at your character even if they're little shits. i have to take a break from reading because of how boring it gets
>>3959499>renee is a well written trans character and acknowledges her faults in childhood and adulthoodMaybe he should neck himself then
>>3959502It can be for sure. I had to take a break from it as well. I only finished it because Cole is that cute.
