Okay, having spent the past hour since I uploaded this trying to make a build, I have concluded that this is a frustratingly vague CYOA.

I really want to like this CYOA, because this concept is so appealing to me, but there's just too much left unsaid for it to function. For example, intrinsic power. How much do we start with? How do we increase it beyond our initial choices?

While I was making my build, I found that I couldn't really come up with a way to get many more demons beyond what we're given from our choices. As I see it, there are two ways to bind a demon; either you get them to agree to a binding by offering them a deal based on their agenda, or you outright force them, either with your own intrinsic power or the power of a higher demon. But Absolute's have no agenda's, and the only demons above them that you could possibly use to force them into being bound also don't seem to have any agenda's that you can use.

So how can we bind anything stronger than a High God? I would think you could use a bunch of lesser demons to try and overpower them through quantity instead of quality, but the CYOA leaves you with no real sense of how many you'd need. How many sprites equals a spirit king? How many minor gods equals a god? Without knowing this, there's no way to create a build beyond High God's; which makes the "Higher Power" ambition undoable.

What's worse, the previous version of this CYOA actually addressed all of this. You were given a solid representation of how much power each demon held. That made it easy to figure out how many lower tier demons were needed to get higher tier ones.

Admittedly, it's late and I haven't slept yet, so I very well could have missed something important, but from what I have read, there's just no way to create a good build.

>Who made Radiant? I’m asking seriously.
RadiantAnon. :)

We don't know, actually. At the time, the author said Radiant was their first cyoa. There was some speculation that Rake was the author, but he denied it. And the aithor never gave us a pen name.

So, in keeping with tradition, he's known by his first cyoa. A lot of the old timers were named that way. Star Dust Anon, Derelict Station Anon . . .

How about a compromise?

>>98002831
This is the latest version of conduit multiverse.
Not sure about the last 3, maybe they don't grow the universe enough or give you interesting options.
Looking for suggestions.
>>
>>98002936
Why does cyoa have its own dedicated copypasta? I don't get it.
>>
I'm thinking of making a cyoa based on a ttrpg like the vampire the masquerade one has. I'm not gonna say which one just yet in case I never make it.

I have the class, attributes, items, boons, and companions thing down in my head
I could probably even think of a few missions.
What could I do to make it memorable?
>>
>>98003489
Locations where everyone is likely to run into each other, so they aren't just part of the same world in an abstract and intangible sense.
Strangely many high-effort cyoas miss that one.
>>
>>98003499
Could you elaborate?
This cyoa takes place in a single city, so I do plan on making some companions incompatible with each other.
>>
>>98003510
It'll be more multi-player friendly if players have some reason to expect to run into each other.
>>
>>98003510
A single city is already a good start, better than Witch Awakening (an example of what not to do).
>Could you elaborate?
Good locations provide enough fuel for the player to imagine missions without describing them explicitly (which can feel too scripted). Which is imo better than explicit quests/missions because those feel scripted.

>>98003530
There's that too but I really meant a solo build vs NPCs/factions.
>>
>>98003530
Multiplayer is planned DLC but you can technically run into one another.
Though I can put a free space in the companion section where you can choose one of the people in the thread (only the current thread) to be your companion instead of the others.
Remember that space prison cyoa where we all made a prison gang?
I'm hoping it happens again.

>>98003542
I feel like this goes into the lore page which I'll have to dedicate time separately.
How about mission hubs where a certain group of missions can be found and the hub reflects the nature of the missions?
>>
>>98003552
Don't just put human interaction as an option. Make people neighbors, give them positions and goals that will intertwine their lives.
>>
>>98003568
Like the actual anons in the thread being neighbors or the companions?
I don't wanna put multiplayer front and center because I'm already juggling a lot of mechanics.

I didn't expect it to pay off like it did. I still have much to learn about this world"

Pretty sure I technically make it through the Shadow Mass Ejection without mutations.

Happy I've made inroads in acquiring some bro's (Bhadin & Aquad) but would have liked to be able to have claimed a waifu while still becoming a pretty competent and resourceful thief. If we ever get a year two I hope the author gifts us with a 'bro' that caught the Feminine mutation.

Hey, FriendlyDrop, Thrallherd's OWA Scholarship said this when describing the obligations of Kuiper:
>The influence of Kuiper is unmistakable now, leaving stars flickering in your shadow and an echo in the voice, the physical signs adding on to the way your grace and instinctive manipulation of your own gravity gives you an otherworldly style motion. You will find a strong urge to be solitary and set your life and similar important things in a predictable and repeating 'orbit' of sorts, becoming incredibly resistant to interruption.
This is a lot more interesting to me than the ones in your current version of awakening, so how would you rebuild the obligation latter to reflect this transfromation?
>>
>>98003686
Nice build. I think you missed the 9-12 Event tho.
>Liminal! Give me a pampered noble femboi to pledge myself to!
I second this. In my build I solved this issue by joining the flesh warping cultists then having Nenlu (the slave you can buy in the flesh market option) undergone a sex change so she could join me in the navy.
>>
>>98003970
Yeah I left 9-12 out. Nothing really jumps out as obviously synergising with my build but I am leaning towards helping the plague victims. As a way to make up for my life of thievery.

But the benefit for that, without a year 2, is the most vague. So I'm kinda waiting for the update before 'locking' something in.

>join me in the navy
Oh nice, like as a cabin boy or first mate?

Nice out the box thinking. Do you have your build on hand to post?
>>
>>98004027
I think helping the cult arrest Dragis would suit your build the best. You get a free spark of magic and training or a defective Shadow Priestess waifu, not to mention the valuable contact for future jobs. Although I understand if you don't want to get involved with the cult.
>Oh nice, like as a cabin boy or first mate?
Yeah exactly that. Although I'll probably have to defend them from horny sailors until I rise through the ranks and get my own ship.
>Nice out the box thinking. Do you have your build on hand to post?
Sure, in a minute.

Part1

>Introduction: Gutter Trash
Experience: 8
Spendings: City Scavenging (free), Abandoned Building (free), Rags (free)
Skills: Street Smarts (+1char), Stealth (+ 1agi)
Stats: Constitution 3, Agility 5 (4 from exp +1 from stealth), Charisma 1.

Knowledge of the local culture is invaluable for a stranger like me. Stealth is useful. I decided to focus on Agility and Constitution for stats, agility's bonus is too good to pass up. Constitution because dying from diseases is major concern of mine.

>Event 1: Shady
Experience: 3
Coin: 4
Other: Black Market Access
Spendings: High Quality Food (-1), Cheap Clothing (-1c)
Stats: Constitution 4.

After weeks of eating literal trash, I'll spoil myself with some fine gourmet. I need to balance my nutrition to not fuck up my health and get back in shape to prepare for joining the military.

>Event 2: Cult- Spread Narzle's Word
Experience: 10 (8+2 points left over)
Coin: 2
Other: Lesser Elder Connection
Spell: Arcane Spell: Recall
Stats: Strength 1, Logic 1.

Recall is amazing, both a lifesaving spell, and a quick travel one. Narzleothepi's cult seems pretty chill compared to the flame fags. Although I'm pretty bummed that they charge money from a fellow cult brother. Regardless I'll ask for some touch ups to blend in and at the same become more striking (Glistening bronze skin, sharp facial features, dark red hair, green eyes).

>Event 3: Military - Join the Navy
Experience: 12 (4+8 left over)
Coin: 10
Spendings: Undercity Garb (-2c), Buy Slave - Nenlu (-5c).
Skills: Naval Training (spec), Sailing Knowledge, Basic Short Sword Training (spec/mastery), Endurance Training.
Stats: Constitution 5, Perception 1.

Chose to master the short blade because it compliments my high agi style and also because weapon mastery is the most expensive skill you could get, so I'll assume I'm becoming a monster with it to justify the cost. Endurance and training spec to do navy things better and get that captain promotion faster.

— Item Tally:
• Cheap Clothing
• High Quality Food (+1 Strength)
• Undercity Garb
• Short Sword (free/military issue)
• Copper/Bronze Armor (free/military issue)
• Nenlu (I consider her more of a companion than an item)

• Mastered Short Sword Training

— Stats:

• Agility: 6
• Perception: 1
• Logic 1
• Empathy 0
• Charisma 1

So the plan is to help the cult spread its roots in the underground among the destitute masses where they won't be bullied by the flame cult. After building a respectable power base, we'll start offering our illicit services to the nobility and the wealthy merchant class, with a steep price of course. I suspect the flesh peddlers in particular will be very welcoming of our services, after all you don't get the chance to customize your slaves everyday.
This is a long, gradual process. In the meantime I'm building my own rapport in the navy, exploring and raiding. Thanks to Recall I can be pretty reckless in my actions, jumping into the unknown is much less scary when you can just poof back into safety. I'll keep focusing on agility and constitution to not get one tapped before having the chance to activate Recall.

And I think that's where I'm calling it. No more benefits left to gain.
This poor guy left home to become a soldier, immediately had to eat someone to avoid starving to death, got captured and sent to the fighting pits, and ran away to become a sellsword. At least in the end people remember him as a great hero. That's gotta count for something.

I Have A Question

Why are certain anime franchises always discussed here? What’s with the obsession? If it’s not Jujutsu Kaisen it’s Fate/Stay Night. If it’s not Fate/Stay Night it’s Danmachi. If it’s not Danmachi it’s some not!anime webnovel like Lord of the Mysteries. If it’s not Lord of the Mysteries it’s Worm. If it’s not Worm it’s My Hero Academia again all of a sudden.

Is it all the same people?
>>
>>98005141
Because it's a giant CYOA. Who takes the time and effort to make a giant CYOA without having an alias for posterity?

You have a great eye for detail!
Let's see.
If I remember right, students at Cyprian's should only get about 5 when going all-in on a world. So that's the first tier.
> at 5 spend on Kuiper you begin to prefer solitude and are increasingly intolerant of outside forces disrupting your routine
> at 10 spend on Kuiper you are not fully at peace unless you are in orbit, accumulating stress daily when trapped in a gravity well
> at 15 spend on Kuiper everything in your perception that moves by a force other than orbital mechanics or Kuiper perks stands out and distracts you like would a painful screeching
> at 20 spend on Kuiper feel the need to settle into a particular orbit and grow accustomed to it, taking many years to get accustomed to a new orbit should you be forced to switch
When I made awakening I made the rash decision to simplify the language to get it done quicker. It's perhaps too much of a loss, but I should be consistent with it.

Reading it now, I was VERY gentle with obligations. That's not Thrallherd's style at all.

Choose doesn't necessarily mean choosing within the bounds of offered options, that's a fallacy. Nothing is stopping you from "choosing" to do something else should the offered options not suffice. Its an expression of free will. Create on the other hand is a fairly more limited word. It only applies if you create the cyoa yourself, else you're merely operating within the authors framework.
Authors create. Anons choose.
>>
>>98006247
None of that matters. The CYOAs are still the same regardless of what the C stands for. Choose your own adventure already means something ele. Even after fourteen years, we still haven't supplanted that meaning. Create your own adventure could have been a real name that we actually have for what we make.

>>98006395
Do anons not create their builds? All we as authors do is give them the skeleton, which they then enflesh and make beautiful. Some don't go any farther than rote option selection, sure, but many add on their own reasoning, strategies, and aesthetics, tinted by their preferences, experiences, and soul so as to bring about something the original author could have never envisioned. The anon creates something new, all an author does is assemble the choices- the womb of spirit whereby anon's will is immersed into an escape from this material tether, for only a brief moment. Making OC, making builds, discussing both, it's all a conscious and continuous act of creation. Not as much choice happens in comparison to that.
>>
>>98006465
That's a meaningless distinction compared to actually having a name for our genre of fiction that isn't constantly confused for something decades older. We don't have a name. It's fucking embarrassing.

>>98006473
Does it matter? I've not seen a traditional choose your own adventure novel talked about on /tg/ in years. Very few anons are ever confused, and those that are either lose interest or come around quickly. The create vs choose dilemma is a matter of philosophy, and like philosophy, means nothing in tangible terms outside of anons acting on it. Even if create was vastly superior, as I only think it's just a generally better moniker, it is not at all worth the enshittification that would ensue from irate choosefags, nor the sanctimonious told-you-so behaviour from triumphant createfags. It is all an absurd waste of effort for almost no appreciable benefit to anyone.

Absolutes have weaknesses. For example, Atlas has no charm resistance. After I subdue Ragnin, I can subdue an Ice Hag to use to easily subdue Atlas.

Two orc balls and crotchrot swampland, obviously. That gives me more testosterone and the locals likely call it that to keep outsiders from flooding in, much like Iceland.
>>
>>98006855
Also, the "orc balls" turn out to be silmarils. The goblin was not able to identify them, but I, as a superior human, can.

I just want everyone to know I killed a drake in Dragons Dogma. The one in the ancient battleground. It was a massive pussy that kept spamming stamnina roars and meteor spells. It took almost all of my curratives and one of my pawns, but I killed it. I bet the reason it kept spamming is becuase its lizardcel ass knows it will never be as cool as Grigori

Can it be Madoka Magica?
>>
>>98008402
I hate the madoka magica fandom so much. There's so much going for it, including one of the best soundtracks of any work ever, but the fans are almost all just yurifags who only care about yuri. Only Homura was actually yuriyuri, I don't think any of the other 4 were. Friends don't let friends suffer from yuri brainrot, they put them out of misery
>>
>>98008425
Madoka Magica would still be a masterpiece and the best anime of all time even without all the yuri, but it would not reach quite the same heights
>>
>>98008425
but the purest form of love!
>>
>>98008551
>>98008551
I may be biased, I have a mortal grudge against yurifags. I once read a comment about Land of the Lustrous, something like "a pity that the arc between Phosphophyllite and Cinnabar was left hanging."

That triggered me. The way the manga actually handled that, that was great stuff. When I first read Land of the Lustrous, I thought, well this is going quite predictably: the main character Phosphophyllite is a happy-go-lucky pixie girl who will somehow show that Cinnabar's unique mercury-spewing nature can be made useful for the rest of them, and then they'll all be happy and yuriyuri, and also it will be so boring and predictable that i will quit the series halfway through. Of course, that is not what happened. Cinnabar is lonely, she can't interact with the others the way she is, but she wants to. Phosphophyllite promises Cinnabar: she will find Cinnabar a job, something only Cinnabar can do and something that is fun!
>>

>>98008826
Much time passes. Phosphophyllite (not really the same person anymore, as her head and much else has been replaced) visits Cinnabar again and asks Cinnabar to help her investigate their leader to discover a conspiracy. But that's not fun at all. Here suddenly the entire setting comes to focus: the gem girls live FUN lives. They are having fun fighting against the vapor people, they are having fun elsewhere, they don't ever think about death because it very nearly doesn't exist for them. And their leader emanates an aura that makes everyone love her (even when he doesn't want this) so investigating him for wrongdoing is decidedly unfun. So Cinnabar refuses. She wanted a fun job that only she can do but Phosphophyllite offers her this? No. More time passes. Cinnabar is now in the company of the vapor people, and along the rest, they transform Cinnabar into a vapor person also! It's NOT a terrible loss of her ability, her ability always SUCKED! It wasn't supposed to be made useful, it was good that it's now gone. Cinnabar takes an interest in flower arrangements - something fundamentally impossible with her prior physiology - and it's great for her. Meanwhile, at this time, Phosphophyllite is underoing well-deserved maximal torture. That's human nature for you. More time passes. Phosphophyllite kills everyone, Good Ending, something something Namu Amida Butsu. Except Phosphophyllite, who must wander the Earth for a few million years more before her body (the most human body that still exists), stained by her sins, wears down, and then she can die also.

But when I think back to that comment, that's not what that kind of viewer really wanted, is it? That viewer wanted yuriyuri, and this was all a disappointment, because he is braindead, yuri brainrot got him.

Yuri isn't even the correct LGBT topic to be getting triggered by with Houseki no Kuni, considering they're all nonbinary...

For me I'm anime-only with HnK (I only read the manga for series that I'm really, really into) and I couldn't really get into the 3d animation.

They're all canonically sexless, but with feminine hairstyles, androgynous bodies, and they call each other "he" and "brother"

I have a vague memory from last night of seeing these reposted in the current thread, and I guess they were deleted by the poster or a mod. I would hope it's not the latter because discussion about CYOA creation should be allowed here irrespective of medium. if I'm remembering correctly they were from the same person, but now I'm second-guessing myself, so if that isn't the case please parse what I say accordingly.
you seem like a real expert! Did you do printmaking professionally, just a hobby you left behind..? I appreciate the advice. it's going to be a process to get to the point of making an actual CYOA I will be happy with. I'll have to restrict it to very basic imagery like what I posted, but it should just be a matter of choosing themes that go well with something primitive. The paper is abaca and it seems to hold up pretty well under the ink from these stamp pads, but when I tried watercolor it scrunched up quite a bit. The stamps are carved out of "quick cut" or something: beginner supplies.
I have used TiddlyWiki and love it but I understand why that isn't appropriate. I have no idea about web archives but maybe there's something you could use that would allow users to contribute tags, or maybe there are some people on the Discord(s) who would be willing to help out. I would probably be down to do some myself. to me that seems like the only long term option; as much as many of us value your efforts there's only so long that you'll keep it up, and it's the rare person who will maintain something like this alone. Seems like it could just go away at some point, which would be a huge loss

Marvelous build

I've always loved art since I was a little kid and did all sorts of arts and crafts. I then went into any art field I could find to try them all out, so a real joat but not a master of any single one, with a heavy focus on graphic design and I've picked up a ton of stuff over the decades, I just turned 59 in April so I have a bit of experience under my belt, heh.

I took various printing press and printmaking classes in college and we covered a variety of things, worked in a silk screening shop where we had a huge 8 color machine and a few smaller hand squeegee ones and I had a course in college on silk screening too. So they're all related in various ways.

I really liked tiddlywiki maybe I need to look into it again because I only checked it out like in 2019? so it's hopefully improved since then. A single html someone can download is fabulous as it'll work in most any browser. I've asked on and off for various ideas on what else would be possible but not much of a response and the forums are not what they used to be by a long shot.

Either way keep doing your art and what you love, don't let life suck all the joy out of creating stuff.

It's encouraging to see someone like you in the general. I love this subculture for its generous artistry, but at the same time I tend to feel like many people here are going after something else, and the craft involved in making CYOAs (at least visually) is sometimes more derivative than creative. I don't know you but I hope I'm 59, knowledgeable in the skills I chose, and playing a critical role in supporting a niche web community someday. Thank you!
>>98010112
CYOAs should be judged in part on their capacity for meme builds. They're an essential part of the build ecosystem that could throw the whole thing out of whack if removed. One reason why difficulty options are not so bad, although someone could just Sartre it
