Hey guys, Starting the second page of companions then gonna go back to the last two family pages. Lemme know how the lineup looks.

Now for a real one.
>>94403503
>>94403445Those titles are really pretentious. They should thank Skai for no one in the setting caring about this disrespect.
It has been about 5 years since I've last visited this general. Hit me with some kino CYOAs from this modern age, if you dare.
>>94403435Sharingan, Hundred healings, Rasengan, Shadow Clone and combine it with harem jutsu.
>>94403559that's not that long of a time desu
>>94403445Right now there are three from gateway and one from demigod. Is it right to assume the others from will be family members then? Also no Ivory?
>>94403609Ivory might be dead, so of course she's not included.
X
>>94403529>But aren't there good or neutral factions? I know some of them do human sacrifice. But not all right?None of them gatekeep against evil magic (including eating and molesting souls), or races that depend on killing or petrifying people, or sex pests. Despite the stated importance of the masquerade in protecting the universe, they allowed masquerade breaching technologies to exist, and then for the manufacturers of that technology to play with Outsiders. And for that matter they are never even slightly proactive against anything Outsider-related unless they are the ORC, or the Watchers, and the Watchers have been playing both sides of most religious wars in history. It's all an excuse, plain and simple, kill them.
>>9440343517 sexy Jutsus. I don't know who Jutsu is but she sounds like a slut. Their loyalty is not guaranteed so I will keep them in a locked shed so they will be my harem.
>>94403435$20JinchurikiDust ReleaseHundred HealingsByakuganGentle Fist
>>94403642Anon, they are (you)...
>>94403660Doesn't look like me
>>94403445Arda and Anu looking to be kino.
>>94403670It is a transformation of yourself and/or your clones...
>>94403642>>94403670Anon, "jutsu" is "spell" in ninja term. You transform into a sexy version of yourself.
>>94403670Sexy Jutsu is was originally a joke power that let Naruto turn into a sexy woman that later got retconned to be a forbidden power that was actually supposed to do something stupid but Naruto just learned it half assedly.Anyways, you want shadow clone+sexy jutsu for what you want.
>>94403442I didn't plagiarize Elspeth. The two characters share the same name and themes of time, but outside of that they are not the same. Elspeth in the Magi Case can compared more to Aoko from Tsukihime, though acting more of a negative mirror.>>94403147>This has to be cleansed as well. Why? It's basically a powerboost for Blood Mages in the Magi Case and for other Mages its a semi-shortcut to longevity at the cost of serving one of the currently turned into paste or alive Vampires. You also get to tap into one of their themes revolving around blood.
>>94403958
>>94403964
>>94403969
>>94403559
>>94403905I'm going to make Elspeth be good.

>>94404165
>>94404067>>94404083Elspeth hair does turn red in the Magi Case, but she only gets that in the Apocalypse version (Elspeth Alter) from the stress of the timestream if you complete the Secondary Investigation involving the Ager Clan.
>>94394059>cyanide pillthanks pill anon, finally a pill worth choosing
Any cyoas where all the pics are drawn by the author himself and not ai slop?
>>94404246That's retarded. Whether you want to kill yourself or others, there are easier ways.
>>94404368Art takes a lot of time so those usually have shit art, not a lot of options, or not a lot of art.

>>94403508Do aliens and god exist only if you pick their options?
>>94404560What do you think anon?
>>94403435I'll take a sharingan, and since it doesn't specify the type of sage mode I'll take Six Paths Sage Mode and awaken a Rinnegan. Thanks grandpa Hagoromo. Don't really need much besides that, but I've got $3 so I'll take 8 gates and shadow clones. Not sure if it'd work, but best case scenario I'd be able to fire up the Eight Gate and then hop into the King of Hell to avoid dying from it. Clones are also super convenient for gathering nature chakra, training, learning techniques. Might even be able to put the 6 paths of pain into clones. Most importantly with my very own clones none of us have to be virgins.
Tankista>Let's you use just about any type of magic you want and has detailed spells list to make you feel powerful.Tok>Let's you use any type of magic that you can afford and earn.>Become the most broken and OP.Shitalics>Only limited to one type of magic.>No spells just vague descriptions of what the magics do.>Still not the most powerful even when using magic.Shitalics could never.
>>94404641>ShitalicsYou forgot the part where if you like a magic he feels the irresistible urge to tell you factoids he just made up about how whatever you're trying to do is worse than you think it is.
>>94404622If there were only the God option, I'd expect the answer to be Yes, because it gives you points, to compensate for making (You)r situation worse.If there were only the Inhumanity option, I'd expect the answer to be No, because it takes your points, to compensate for making (You)r situation better.So aliens exist either way, while KAMI SAMA exists only if you pick him?
>>94404493Post the entire thing you cretin
>>94404659>Fell for baitObsessed.
>>94404724I fell for nothing.
>>94404626If you really want to cheat so hard, why not jinchuriki Juubi+Byakugan for some Kaguya shenanigans?
>>94404772You fell for these nuts
Only tourists think that Anons on 4chan can be bated. We can't. We recognize bait a million miles away. We are hardened by resisting the constant brainwashing society subjects us to, a fight from which we've come out victorious and pure. We Anons are immune to bait.
>>94404913>t. still fall for physicsanon's baits>t. still fall for Tok's baits>t. still fall for catfag's baits>t. still fall for sartre's baits>t. still fall for FOTM's baits
Anyway, what are we cooking today?
bocchi supremacy
>>94404939Nothing. I am at work. Wbu?
>>94404924That never happens. We Anons stand about clownworld bullshit you see outside. The suffering the world has subjected us to has thickened our skins. We are too advanced to be tricked with bait.>>94404939Laughing at tourists.
Harahel rises, total conquest of this general is but a matter of time
>>94404968It's a fun timeline, agreed, but unlikely. Lewd CYOAs won't ever hold the thread hostage ala OR/Entropist for obvious reasons.You can still have a pocket discussion while we laugh at you, though.
>>94404680>>94404560They only come into play if you pick them. I was testing the waters with v1 and using "pay to challenge a threat" type balancing, but v2 introduced God, who is too powerful to justify paying for unless you're masochistic. If there is a v3, the shitty balance will be slightly less shit and Ayyliens will give points to help encourage picking them.
>>94403905It´s the principle, i want Mircea to rest easy knowing that his bloodline was purified of the vampiric taint and that i was worthy of his grandchild. The man deserves a win and based on what you said about the vampires, they literally turned her just to spite him.
>>94404949The power of the Dark Side always holds supremacy.>>94404953Ehh, not much. I did a bit more work on my WIP but mostly just brainstorming. Someone here suggested I try ChatGPT to code an interactive, and it was pretty wild when I gave it a shot. I ended up making a Warlock/FiretopMountain inspired combat simulator, based on the novel's own system, where your equipment/strength/agility/endurance/durability are the main stats. The best thing about it is the brutally simple dice rolling, which is why I copied it.>>94404966But having a tourism industry is good..>>94404968Never let 'em know your next move.>>94405001>Lewd CYOAs won't ever hold the thread hostageAight bet.What makes OR and Entropist so good? That's my question. What's the magic all the great CYOA authors have that we're missing?
>>94404939A dark overlord / minion picker CYOA. I hope to get it ready before Christmas.
>>94405207The children of Entropist has arrived, kino.
>>94403435> Become a Jinchuriki (Chomei)> Flying Thunder God> Crystal Release> Shadow Clone Jutsu
>>94405207jobs to harahel kino
>>94405242Somehow the funniest joke I've heard all week.
>>94405013Mircea is a faggot and deserves nothing. Vampires are also incredibly cool and calling it a taint is being dishonest.
>>94405120We should do an in dept analisys of Entropist and OR in order to reverse engineer its "magic", but it might require a lot of trial and error
>>94405465The really simple lesson from Entropist is Walk Blessed.
>>94405392I am more into werewolves but yeah vamps can be cool, especially Rubedo Bathory. In magi case however most are dangerous assholes. It is a taint on his bloodline considering the intentions of those that cursed him and his family.Mircea is the gigachad that worked hard his entire life and his storyline is quite enjoyable the memes as well
>>94405476Care to explain?
>>94405558It's self-explanatory.
>>94403445>>94405120>Hai gayz! :DD Puh-leeze praise my wip image #12414!
>>94405696WIP posters bring infinitely more to the general than you, catfaggot. You demand attention without providing anything in return.
>>94405696You lost. The general BELONG to Bocchi.
>>94405703>without providing anything in returnWrong. I provide gattos.>>94405722His flavor of autism is too cringy for me.
>>94405722>BocchiThis is a second-rate tourist at best.
What's worse than an update nobody asked for? Two updates nobody asked for! That's right! Return To Zero: A Genoslop CYOA v3 is out now! Feast your eyes upon my sloptent.
>>94403445Thorne's left picture looks like an action figure.
>>94405558Entropist had a perk: Walk Blessed. Almost all builds took it. It meant that the author (EntropistAnon, who hanged around in /cyoag/) looks at your build, and gives you a custom perk that's supposed to fit mechanically and thematically with the rest of your build. The custom perks aren't like "you can fly", they are described in fairly long detail, and they are powerful. It's a winning form of author-reader engagement, and provokes discussion really well.Another CYOA that did something similar recently was Houses of Ruin (subjectively, I liked it a lot more than Entropist). The author would read each build (not the shopping list builds, but those that explained what they were going to do) and wrote how things proceed - and thematically, every build should end up in ruination, often catastrophic. However it wasn't a long-lasting sensation like Entropist, because it was a very short and simple CYOA so not many different builds were possible, whereas Entropist with its large number of options invites every reader to build his own speshul donut steel OC character.
>>94405782
Spend less time worrying about the cringe ERPedo tourist who replies to their own posts and more time enjoying CYOA.
>>94405791>enjoying CYOA>cyoag anons
>>94405558anons want good custom/special powers, which leads them posting builds and arguing with the author and other anons.You need builds and arguments for any cyoa to succeed.

>>94405824Read this >>94405811 and idolize the great authors.
>>94405782I was sad when the author for Houses of Ruin committed suicide. He had a beautiful soul and left us too soon.
>>94405866>GREAT AUTHORS BECAUSE I SAID SO OK?Glazing is kinda crazy.

>>94403435From the thumbnail I thought the sharingan was a cookie and now I am disappointed. Post cookie cyoas NOW.
>>94406204>gives room for flexible storytellingThis trumps everything
How do you make a compelling multiverse? Or better to just not have one?
>>94406493Step one would be to depower all faggy overpowered universes like anything with cultivation.
>>94406493>there's a world based on every fictional universetrash, irredeemable trash, the top-level setting is an amusement park and impossible to take seriously>there are just some number of worlds that are connected to each other, a bit like planets or islands, or like the usual earth/heaven/hell triopotentially fine
>>94406629>there are just some number of worlds that are connected to each otherWhat I was going for, basically.
>>94405824Im not scared of pedophile erpers.
>>94406204>>94406485>that gives room for flexible storytelling Wrong description, Entropist is focused on the features of the character you make, a cyoa that encourages storytelling would focus on other things like detailing the environment. JRPG traitor is a cyoa that encourages the player's storytelling for example.
>>94405013>I want Mircea to rest easy knowing that his bloodline was purified of the vampiric taintMircea's great-x grandmother is still alive and a Vampire. >they literally turned her just to spite him.Eh, not really. The only way to become a full-fledge Vampire is of your own accord. Mircea's granddaughter (Scarlett Germaine) was going to make an appearance in the original release of the CYOA, but was held back. Unlike the other Vampires she won't randomly overtly screw someone over just because she saw them walking, but that trait isn't completely exclusive to her.>>94405486> In magi case however most are dangerous assholes.They are mages that have reached the pinnacle of their magic and are acting according to instinct and to be at the peak. Considering some posts I have read, I think several fellows of CYOAG would act the same way if in their shoes.

>>94406756Destroy list: Bathory, Ford, GalileoAnything else?
>>94406795Why are you trying to destroy Ford and Galileo?
>>94406793That's what I meant. In the cyoa the primary setting is Earth which is pretty much tutorial island that you'll shortly graduate from and leave forever. The next million years you'll spend in the multiverse which is very little described. Later in posts EntropistAnon filled in the setting and that helped a lot. But even then, an allcomprehensive multiverse doesn't encourage the player's storytelling. a tangible environment with tangible features encourages storytelling.
>>94406838They are both awful clans that need decimation above and beyond simple reform.Next.
>>94406858>They are both awful Clans.What's so awful about them?
>>94406865Read the cyoa then come back. Your bait is weak.
>>94406879Nothing really wrong with them unless you are hanging out with the leadership.

I hope there is cake. Are there any Portal (the game) CYOAs?
>>94406952
>>94406795Please don't destroy the Ford Clan. They are the only Clan where I can put the non-serious/really goof stuff into and have it work. For example, Ford supports clan capitalism and expansion of it. When he found out about fast-food and how Mages won't have quick access to it in the mid-70s, he started opening up his own rip-off version of McDonalds and later added figurines of important mages from the clan's history and did promotions with other Clans.
>>94406493Many universes with galaxies and such, the fiction from our world was inspired from real events that happened out there in the stars/dimensions, but incomplete and heavily altered by the biased human mind. There's no Earth #2, that's lesser timeline shit, not a separate universe.
>>94406918Nah they both are getting obliterated for being so shit
>>94405782kino
>>94406493Why do you need one? What story are you telling that is so grand it can only be told across infinity times a trillion? If you want something where the character visit a lot of worlds for example you can just write that. I guarantee if you wrote something in a setting which has something like Yggdrasil, some magic mcguffin that links together maybe a dozen or so worlds it'd be far more memorable and interesting than telling someone 'oh yeah so then we visited world four thousand eight hundred and fifty seven and left and never came back because we forgot how to find it'.
>>94407013>What story are you telling that is so grand it can only be told across infinity times a trillion?Some people use the word multiverse for any setting that has many universes, even if the number of worlds in it isn't practically infinite.Some anon here even called BTG's Animus a multiverse cyoa (because the souls for the dolls come from another world, ours), but that's extending the term way too far.
>>94405798Man some of these are not good situations. Like Rage Hero, one of the options is 'she tore off your limb, rebuilt your limb, and now you get to be a sidekick with just a bionic limb'. That's not really you being special, that's something she could presumably give to anyone.But the worst of all is Magic Hero. Why the fuck is amazing magical power gated behind femdom of all things? Not worth it, F minus minus, 0/10, maybe go Psychic Hero instead.
Another thread. Another slop.
>>94405883Wait he died really? Fuck.
>Magi Case>Magic has only been around for 500 yearsThis shit is ass, lmao.
>>94407077Please eat my slop anon. I'll die if I don't get at least 3 (You)s
>>94406756>pinnacle of their magiclol, they are not even true vampires, they should have aimed higher than they did, even Bathory considers them failures.>Mircea's great-x grandmother is still alive and a Vampire.She is a vampire and therefore not purified, i need the bloodline cleansed to prove my worth.>Eh, not really. The only way to become a full-fledge Vampire is of your own accord.Yeah but they still manipulated the situation and influenced her decision no?>I think several fellows of CYOAG would act the same way if in their shoes.Eh, in the end i just enjoyed his story and felt the tragedy of it. So i wanted to use my unique position as the protag to create a happy ending. And his granddaughter sound like she needs some love and correction.
>>94407099No, how the fuck would we know?
>>94407151Some retard said so.Did the author make any other cyoas?
>>94407195No, he said he made the cyoa with the intention of producing something before he kills himself, shortly afterwards posted the DLC, then disappeared.
>>94407150>So i wanted to use my unique position as the protag to create a happy ending. And his granddaughter sound like she needs some love and correction.In other words, you're going to try to ruin her life in order to make her retarded granddad feel like less of a failure?
>>94403435>Byakugan>Sharingan>Sage Mode>Sexy JutsuI'll have the bitches on lock forever, a wielder of those first 3 things combined is guaranteed to have the most superior DNA in the ninja eugenics world.
>>94407099Yes. As far as anybody knows, but it's a shit situation.>>94407151He mentioned it in the /cyoag/ at the time and dropped his IRL name. I forgot what it was but he was Russian.
>>94407150>lol, they are not even true vampires, they should have aimed higher than they did, even Bathory considers them failures.Bathory has high-standards and is written somewhat as a troll-type character.>Yeah but they still manipulated the situation and influenced her decision no?Scarlett wanted to become a Vampire, especially since it would make her immortal.>Eh, in the end i just enjoyed his story and felt the tragedy of itHis story is supposed to be a tragedy. > she needs some love and correction.She's not a lolihag.>>94407259Mircea is only a failure if the other "slain" and entombed Vampires manage to regain themselves after being made into blood paste. He has essentially broke the Vampire courts and left a lot of former Dhampires dead or homeless.
>>94407327>He was RussianNothing of value was lost then. He probably got put inside the cube if he didn't fall out of a window. Either option is based as fuck though.
>>94407150Stop trying to save the girl. You're supposed to laugh with Bathory.
>>94405798What's with the atrocious compression?
>>94406108I don't feel hatred for this BTG-type cyoa. Why?

>>94407664How are you going to eat then, retard? You going vegan?
CYOA where I get to be happy.
Would you guys consider this dummy layout design, new descriptions, and inclusion of a starting quest/goal to be something better than what was previously presented in Lamentation and enhance your experience in it when making a build? If not, what should be done to improve on it?
>>94407013>>94407042Wasn't planning to have an infinite multiverse, just connect a few. >>94406849>a tangible environment with tangible features encourages storytelling.Agreed. I wish more included even the most basic of starting plot points or anything to get the imagination going.
>>94407823What are you talking about? You can get content at the store?
>>94407825What would make you happy?

>>94407831Do not have different font sizes for descriptions.
>>94407976You won't get anything if we leave him stuck.

>>94407848Tok is leagues above Bocchi when it comes to being an author, he literally has great works under his belt already. One is an actual content creator and the other is a tourist.
>>94407976>It's about the second revisionThird revision.
>>94408041Irrelevant. If anything that's worse.>>94407989Don't worry, you won't get anything even if you answer to his questions.You're still waiting for Luminary, aren't you? What about Echoes PSY? Because you're not getting them this year.
>>94407976>YearsThe original version came out like 2 years ago and then the year after its second version/update got shadow dropped.
It doesn't matter when a CYOA comes out. What matters is that it gets released.

It's great.>>94405696Let me cook.>>94405782> The author would read each build (not the shopping list builds, but those that explained what they were going to do) and wrote how things proceed - and thematically, every build should end up in ruination, often catastrophic.I like that idea. We could try that. Maybe with a free map where players draw the path of their journey or something.>>94406204Taking notes here

Sometimes, I wonder whether not putting any nsfw on the first page is intentional.https://imgchest.com/p/vj4jwpdmx78
>>94408702I would say that it varies, but in general, an interesting backstory tells a little bit about the setting without dumping too much lore, while informing the reader about what the companion is capable of or has done. For example, a brief backstory mentioning that a companion escaped the goblin empire and is a former head slave, or slave overseer, but chose to pursue a different path, is vastly more interesting than a long backstory detailing how the goblin empire has brutal slavery and crushes all non-goblins, and has half a sentence about how the companion was part of a high slave caste before he escaped.An interesting personality is similar, in that it shouldn't overshadow the rest of the character but should complement it, instead. Even an explicitly boring personality can be interesting, if it feeds into the rest of the character. Suppose a chaos magician is actually a no-fun bureaucrat outside of his wild and reckless sorcery, that's interesting, because it contradicts how the reader would expect them to be. However, leaning into stereotypes can also be interesting, and a suicidally insane chaos magician could make for a fun companion. Alternatively, a companion could have a personality that has nothing to do with their powers or backstory, but still be interesting because people don't always fall into cliches and that could help them feel more real. An aside about how a mercenary is saving all of his gold to build a statue of his friend who died fighting against goblins might be interesting, if the mercenary is otherwise a typical greedy and violent hired blade like someone would expect.Generally, more is better, but you have to keep in mind that sometimes less is more. I recommend trying to fit as much as possible into as little space as possible, and imply instead of elaborating where you can.
>>94408774real life. NOW BACK TO YOUR CAGE, WAGIE NUMBER 78427
>>94408728>We haven't had one decent adult CYOA since Harahel faggots spammed the /trash/ thread to oblivionThe spam was bad, but the faggots you speak of were the same anons who'd interact and engage with cyoa the most. There were also some creators in there. My running theory is that the authors follow the audience. There's not a huge incentive to produce cyoa for /trash/ anymore even if they allow you to be "edgy".
>>94408752id monstroum is a tranny cyoa, what are you even talking about. And so is the robot one, lmao.
>>94408829It would be much more interesting if it was about picking out a companion to partner with in the mutation, and not about this weird ego-splitting/clone masturbation shit.

>>94409622Most of the text is too dark.
>>94409622keep it that way, the lore-dump-flavour-text looks like background decorations anyway
>>94409622>Lord of ProvidenceSo the player controls fate?>authorityIn the mystical sense of control over an aspect of reality or in the mundane sense of social status?
>>94409642Is it? I was trying to keep the text more in-line with the images and visible enough to see and read still.
>>94409650>So the player controls fate?No. Providence is the name of the territory that you succeeded Lordship over after the previous Marshal Lord (Pic related) died. There are choices detailing how you came to succeed her for you to choose. Yes, there is even an option for you to have personally slain her. >>94409650> or in the mundane sense of social status?Mundane. You are for all intents and purposes a warlord and one of the strongest humans alive in the Contemporary Era with few able to match you in a solo.
>>94409653The middle and bottom darker text are too dark. It's a little straining to read. Just lighten them by a few degrees.I advise to always get text checked by someone else (because oneself may not realize, like now) if you want to do anything that might hamper readability.
WIP?Greyweul Witches Are All Crazy! CYOABestiary Section: Monsters, Humanoids, Fey, Celestials page first draft(1/2)
>>94409692Alright, bet. The introduction is the only thing I'm going to make dark, kinda have to fiddle around with making decent layout.
>>94409686>Killing an obvious waifu characterBut why though?
>>94409702Making quick work of this let's fuckin GOOOO(2/2)>>94409622I think you should try and add white drop shadow to your text, it'll make it more visible in the dark background. Also see if adjusting the background image brightness/contrast might help. Just my humble opinion, if it helps.What's that about?
>>94409725Adding white would defeat the point of making the text dark...
>>94409730His P1 feels like an opening crawl to a movie, so I figured a little brighter-coloured text might be better. The transition effect is perfect though.
>>94409725Ecclesiastes is a JRPG CYOA where you take on the role of Marshal Lord in a near-contemporary fantasy.Youborganize your Marshal Forces and policies and go on campaigns and misadventures with your subordinate officers to deal with issues of other Lords in city-states that impact you or Providence and confront the maligned Beast Tribes that seek to restore their slain gods. Ultimately, in the era where you become Marshal Lord you deal with a manifested calamity that will plunge the world into war or chaos as one of humanity's strongest warriors.You also have the option of marrying a subordinate. A lot of them are women in their mid-30s and up.
>>94409766>A lot of them are women in their mid-30s and up.Hagmaxxers rejoice
>>94409686Well that's disappointing.
>>94409766Hey, that sounds pretty exciting! I'm a sucker for fantasy mixed with political scheming and thrills. So you're supposed to build a party/team of characters right? I'll keep an eye out for your updates then.If you got any WIPs, I'm curious to see it. Good luck, Italics. Still wonder what kind of app you guys use to make CYOAs
>>94409880You can stop brown-nosing anytime. We still wont like you, please go back to erping about children somewhere else.
>>94409593Undead Unluck god
>>94410383Why don't you FUCK CHILDREN? I mean, hahahahaha WHY NOT?
>Why don't yo-
>>94410555Checked trips.
>>94408382Oh. I didn't know you were making reworks. Good luck with that.Spear team ftw
>cyoag is finally unified
Anyone still making CYOAs with western art when every search resource is flooded with AI slop and there aren't any well tagged boorus like for anime stuff is braver than a fireman, or someone fighting in a war.
>>94410996Use Pinterest, Artstation, Zerochan etc... and scavenge /tg/ for useful picrels. You must do anything it takes. Finding art is 99% of what makes CYOA difficult to make imo.
>>94409880>I'm a sucker for fantasy mixed with political scheming and thrills.A lot of political schemes and thrills takes place in the quest section. As the Marshal Lord you either get dragged into events such as the coup in Acadia (Not!Paris), get invited to take part in an expedition to an eastern island colony as a "Special Exterminator" by Heroes of a city-state to reclaim their lost land, get called requested to participate in a tournament by a tribe of people in Yalagch (Not!Mongolia) as their champion, to decide who will lead all other Tribes and decide if they will finally modernize, etc. Unlike the Magi Case, there are nearly 20 quests. There are also NPCs for the quests to discuss quest details and introduce themselves to you.There is also the Advent of Catastrophes but those are more like the Overlords from JRPG Traitor. They are final boss characters that you have to personally fight against and who have triggered a cataclysm impacting the world and you. Unforunately there are only 7 Catastrophe (Bosses) each with their own unique scenario and story and you only select one unless you take an option in an early part of the CYOA.>>94409770Six of the women companions are younger than 30.
>Shitalics hyping up OC no one cares about and pretending it is releasing soon.
>>94410996I just use search engine... It is a dark and treacherous path.
>>94403435The allsync is so goddamn slow. Is there a way to download it quickly?
>>94410996I use the imaginarynetwork on reddit, but it's really hard when theres a fucking scroll limit on every subreddit so i can only go back so far, even on old reddit. But yeah, finding something more specific than 'pirate' or 'alien' is much harder now than it was 3 or 4 years ago.
>>94411025I would say the idea and writing department is equally hard tho.
Sit down all of youse peasants. This is how you make a real Choose Your Own ADVENTURE.YOU ARE TRAVELING ON THE ROAD. Let's test and see if these events work. ROLL to see what Event # you get, or pick what you like. Play as many events as you want or until you call it tired or dead. I'm gonna add Mersharks to the bestiary gyatt damn>>94410862>He reported my postYou absolute mongrel. I pray that lightning strikes you dead.
>>94408774I'll make one. Any special requests?
>>94411100Dude, you should consider making a map/illustration of the world, I think that would totally boost the immersion. Like, war arrows and country alliances and movements and stuff. How do you do quests (in your cyoa)?>Unforunately there are only 7 Catastrophe (Bosses) each with their own unique scenario and story and you only select one unless you take an option in an early part of the CYOA.Sounds like replay value to me, it's something to keep people playing more than once to try different endings. Coolio.>>94411445It does take time. You could maybe get away with forgetting about art and pictures for the meanwhile but for some reason they're always necessary to have immediately or else the idea you're trying to write disappears like smoke.

>>94411550>Dude, you should consider making a map/illustration of the world, I think that would totally boost the immersion.I'm not a very good map maker and I don't have any mapping programs, but I can try. The last time I touched maps were back in Lamentations 2.0.>How do you do quests (in your cyoa)?Design wise, same as any other you pick them. In-Universe, for every quest except 1, you disembark from Providence accompanied by your direct Subordinates (Party Members) or with some of your Marshal Forces (Quest dependent) to cross over the wilderness (A lot of the world is wilderness) to end up at a city-state you are visiting as a foreign Lord or who requested your aid in-exchange for private payments to you or your Marshal Forces. Or to end up in an area that you need to investigate due to anomalies and actions of wandering Beastmen and forgotten socities.
>>94407397"Pick one power" is way too limiting, with only 28 possible builds.A better format might've been, "Pick one power from your boss + one power from any other waifu." so there's 28*26=728 possible builds.
>>94410684Yeah that's why I haven't been around much lately.
