CYOA Refuge Thread - A thread for posting any and all CYOAs unpostable in /tg/'s /cyoag/ (and occasionally ones that aren't).Previous thread:https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/84422809Alternative link:https://archived.moe/trash/84422809Worksafe threads:>>>/tg/cyoa/cyoag/'s CYOA archives and related resources:>https://rentry.co/cyoagIncludes - but is not limited to - a F.A.Q. section and the personal archives of a number of authors.>https://cyoa.allsync.com/s/owWor64yLTngDk3An extensive Allsync archive that has both SFW and NSFW CYOAs.>https://infaera.neocities.org/Interactives list.If you're looking for a specific CYOA, it's suggested that you check those first.And remember: Postnumbers aren't for rolling. If the CYOA calls for rolling of any sort (or you just feel like leaving something up to fate), use random.org (or https://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm, or physical dice, or something else that isn't your postnumber) to generate the number, and write it in the post with the rest of your build.In short: Do the rolling before you post, instead of observing the postnumber you get.
>>84490650Most creatively-designes cyoa ever?
>>84491022Visually or mechanically?
>>84491141no
>>84491177
>>84491177But all the options are just single squares??
>>84491268Uh... no?
>>84491290show me a single one that isn't
At this point I come to this thread, scroll through a bit, all the cyoas look like shit, I leave. Sometimes entirely, sometimes I go to reddit. Have you guys and gals tried posting the shit you used to post 8 years ago or so? Like seriously these nucyoas are awful, I don't think I remember the last time someone other than me posted a cyoa with drawbacks, the shit you post doesn't adhere to any formula at all.
>>84491382You're posting this pasta again?

>>84491382Yeah... I wish anons would post more old stuff, new cyoas really do suck ass.I'd do it myself but I never saved any cyoas back in the day because they used to be posted so frequently I never needed toIt would help alot to get some old inspiration for my own oc
>>84482698>Wow, that's... brave of you.It honestly isn't. I don't particularly care if the thing looks hot to outsiders, I'm expecting to be spending most of my time either actively on a mission or living on board a tiny frigate with my mech and my squad and whatever crew is required to staff it. Nobody is going to particularly care that Daz sucks on a piece of metal when there's bugs to kill.Right?>but what we really want to see is what you'd look like!Closest pic I could find and I still had to edit since I don't think anything gave me anime eyes.>>84483866>>84483880I'm proud of the name, even if it wasn't an intentional halo reference. It feels appropriate for a machine meant to go into the darkest parts of space.
>>84491454Posting my build again just because the thread ended a bit too soon(Finding a fitting image is hard)https://rentry.org/hcxax78f
>>84491177Have you actually tried making a build for this? It gets boring really fast. The only challenge is the busywork of jugglign photoshop or something where you're drawing the map and the text editor you're using for the choices. It doesn't actually engage your brain or make you have a fantasy or anything.
>>84492223Yeah, I've had it saved for years but never got around to actually reading it. Just feels like too much work even with two monitors.But speaking of non-standard design, I like CYOAs with interconnected webs like this one.
>>84492331It's not bad per se, it's a wish fulfillment CYOA where you can get almost anything you'd want, it's just poorly balanced since you can get almost everything you want if you put in some busywork.On the other hand I don't have good memories of witch's path and the similar fay path either. I remember being frustrated by fay path saddling you with way too many awful drawbacks before you could get anything good, and at that point what's even the point, you may as well just not bother.
Any GTS/size CYOAs other than Colossals? Being big is fine, but preferably the reverse.
Seems like the interactive index got thrown back a whole 2 years? What's going on with that? Was there a new link, or just genuine technical problems?
>>84492691Oh, disregard. Seems like it was a weird cache error.
>>84492534Beri made one.
>>84492491Sorry, you're just wrong, Witch's Path is fun and cool.

>>84492223I have made one, but end up taking more different powers than I initially thougth of taking because 112 squares is a lot and still took Big Brain many times and be done with it.

>>84495206oh my godcyoas for this feel?
wake up
>>84491643>>84495601Realized I was leaving points on the table, so I updated the build slightly to pick up Gravity Field, which was the only additional piece of equipment I really wanted.https://rentry.co/n3wv5ptsWish I'd known about this one sooner, honestly. Would have loved to be part of the squads back when they were actually writefagging.Have some music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoDXQVg20lQ
>>84495601I still need to update this build.
>>84495601I do like that giving up your dick for the superweapon isn't the only viable build. My own preference for feminization fetish content involves keeping the dick but making it useless through chastity or shrinkage. Ultra Ability being able to be applied to support items instead of just weapons makes keeping your cock optimal for specialists.
>>84493247>Small OfficeIs that the meteor world actor division 13 office bg?
>>84498922You don't even need either of them you can achieve high firepower with just fortress mode and overclock
>>84495601Oh, hey. I've updated Rumbles/Frenzy since the rentry catalogued her.https://rentry.co/Frenzy_AdamantA little more readable, and also some heroforge mockups of the pilot.I am also homebrewing an exchange, but it doesn't really fit the feminization focus of the CYOA:Give yourself some amount of dissociation/dysphoria to synchronize with your Adamant.On the low end, a minor discomfort when exiting the cockpit to reduce mis-inputs.At the extreme high end, you conceptualize your "self" as the sum of Adamant and Pilot. The pilot is only a part of you, and you can move the Adamant as well as others move their Pilot.
>>84495601>front: defenders of earth or mars interceptors>callsign: Aigaionhttps://rentry.co/gpnpd6eaAigaion, a 30 metre long, heavy support platform designed to provide close air and orbital support for ground assets, it is also capable of denying enemy aerial and orbital assests from entering combat operation zones, act as a glide bomb and/or cruise missile carrier, as well as providing ECM & ECCM for friendly Land, Air, Sea, Orbit (LASO) assests and can deploy two semi-mobile turrets for CIWS operations or to assist in creating killing fields and fatal funnelsThe Aigaion also features healing nanites for repairs of friendly Adamants engaged in combat or extended combat operations
>>84491321its the image AND the text box budat the top, Obol freeplay is a 2x2. Ok slut is a 1x1. Chimerism is a T shape. >>84492223I've made one when it first came out. The idea is charming, but overall it's not particularly difficult to get a bunch of powers, especially with the highest tier shape. I wouldn't mind seeing someone try to recapture this idea though with better execution.
>>84495601Not my favorite Tim cyoa but could be worse. Bout time I finally put a build together for it:https://rentry.org/32qecnk7
>>84482738Couldn't you set the stat twice as two different point types - once for the real stat and once as a counter - and then set the counter to not be able to go below zero in the settings for that point type? That way the UI prevents you from going higher than the stats you have. I hope I'm understanding your problem correctly - see pic related. I could post a project.json if you'd like.

>>84495601>earth has only about 1000 jayone heartsthis causes ludonarrative dissonance
>>84503787In what way? When I read through the cyoa I never got the feeling that they had more than a few hundred Adamants at most.
Here, the only good cyoa ITT. OPTIONAL FEMDOM
>>84503886The quality on display hereis unparallleled
>>84503892
>>84502060>>84491177A simple patch would be to make only vessel 1 free and the other two give moderate and difficult circumstances respectively to make up for the ridiculous power they give you. Could also include lore about why vessel 3 seems broken, maybe it was a divine vessel once but is now half-destroyed, and you still need to deal with the enemies of that god if you take up the mantle. Or something like that.
>>84495601Changelog ?
>>84503824because with such a limited resource being spread across 4 separate fronts it makes no sense that the military would give me free range on what changes and powers i can pick. they would have very specific roles they need people to fill. it might make more sense if there was a big surplus of hearts because they can always find someone else who’s going to go whole hog and become a super war machine. but i can make a very cautious build that barely takes anything and somehow they’re okay with wasting a jayone heart on me. plus the fact that i of all people am being picked for this job despite not being particularly manly. am i supposed to self-insert as a super macho man randy savage so that it makes sense? if it said somewhere that only some people were compatible with the hearts the whole thing might make sense, but that’s not the case. it implies the opposite by saying that natural women could technically become pilots but there would be less material to work with so they don’t bother.
>>84504708Well theoretically they do need a lot of data for different setups, as seen with the section of unofficial options where they are figuring out a lot of stuff with just random chance and minor experiments. As far getting to pick what changes and powers, it strikes me as forcing that stuff on people might incur enough stress in someone to make them nonfunctional. There is also something of a selection bias, that being people who are interested in the cyoa are less likely to be people who would try to avoid the premise. You could apply that selection bias to the in setting selection that they were picking people based off of their perception of who would be a good fit.

>maximum file size is 4mbREEEEEE20 year old limits still in effectAnyway, Viz Volaire: >https://imgchest.com/p/ljyqdgked72
>>84507367even with jpg compression so basic that it gets bundled with image viewers as opposed to image editing software you can get an image like that down to 4mb without any noticeable change in qualityjust compare the two of them, i can't see any quality drop
>>84507569>go through any amount of effort for something the mods could toggleNah. Mods and janitors clean shit up and work for me, not the other way around.
>>84507583>any amount of effort>hitting ctrl-s once for every image before postingthe images are overinflated for no reason, it's not reasonable to whine about getting something you don't need
>>84507605I had already saved each image. >Just save them again, this time so that the old dying site doesn't have to improve its features
>>84507640they don't give a shit anon, if you actually managed to contact them they'd probably even laugh at youalso the author still gets more of the blame for bloating the images
>>84507154NO
RememberI'm bored and want OC :p
>>84507640The 4chan developer has stated that a primary goal of the website is to minimize costs. They don't want to pay for more bandwidth when the site hardly makes any money.
>>84491177I made a template so the options from the cyoa line up with a simple crop and paste.I did it slowly on MS Paint because I'm retarded and have too much time on my hands.
found footage of rosanonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8vlwsKkldA>>84507640>>84507605>>84507701>>84507569>>84507367the actual solution would be to move to a board with a higher filesize limit but nooooooooo

Anyone have a good picture of a trap in a maid costume? I need one for a CYOA option and this is not my area of expertise.
>>84513104https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=trap+maid+original
>>84513162Wow, thanks for nothing retard.I'm trying to ask the experts (aka people who are into this sort of thing). I can't pick out a good picture because I'm not into traps.
>>84513247A little fucking aggressive for a fag asking for help lol
>>84513247Imagine you're picking out the cutest flat-chested girl.
>>84513393Is the bulge important? It was my understanding that the bulge is important.
>>84513459Some people like it tiny and some like it big, you can't really go wrong with either because both have their fans.
>>84511579i just did them as literal single pixels, my builds look like this lmao, can't even see them properly if you use the wrong viewer or editor
>>84492534>>84493692I think you might mean mine with that one:https://lx425.neocities.org/CYOA/Shrunk_by_a_Goddess/And for those one or two people who might still remember this, I am finally almost done with the new version, and only about two years late.
>>84511579And here's Vessel Dos.I'm not even going to attempt Vessel Tres, I'm not a masochist.
>>84514466here's the single pixel version if you want it, it's not really that hard
>>84514363Sweet.
>>84513459A bulge can be cute if done well but a bulge that's too gratuitous can be offputting. Personally I'm a bigger fan of small tents, but really as long as there isn't visibly no bulge (pic rel, you can tell there's nothing under that swimsuit) you're fine, and not missing out on much of anything by leaving the bits entirely ambiguous
>>84515250IBUKIIIIIIII!!!! <3 <3 <3 8===D~~~~
>>84515330Old and busted.
>>84491177I made build :)
>>84491177i found the old image build I did actually so i might as well post it
>>84494687I like this one. No forced-author's-fetish bullshit, no dull, pointless "and now choose every little tidbit of your body that will have no fucking bearing on anything", just various lewd lands/scenarios to let one's imagination run wild in.
>>84516875You have a very limited imagination.
>>84517185NTA but how so? Elaborate.
Found a cool D&D site and noticied you can easily use it to create builds or maybe even a CYOA itself https://www.naturalcrit.com/
>>84517481this link groomed and molested my ip
>>84517512So ...Nothing changed
>>84491141I meant visually
>>84519117
>>84519117A bit generic but new to me atleastMight try making a build tomorrow
You will never be a girlBut you already know that ;)
Bake up
Cake up
>>84491177On the allsync is a zip of all the tiles cut out and ready to be dropped into an image editor so you can make them all line up.
