This is out. Is it good?
>>3642960not rpg
>>3642962And you're not a woman and you'll never be one.
>>3642976Fuggen gotem>>3642960It's smaller than most favored WIPs but lets you build a battlemech or fix a spaceship to ditch the whole plot and leave. Kino prompts, but I have not had the time to see if they were executed well.
>>3642983Battlemech sounds good, but I have no idea how large of the role it has. If it has a decent one, that's yet another addition to CoG mecha games.It's kind of funny that most mecha games are CoG ones.
>>3642960Not an rpg, not even an visual novel, not even a game, just a novel.
>>3642960Oh no no no, bwahahahaha.
>>3643016Is this the power of CoG's advertising? Don't they take 75% of your profits in exchange?
>>3643021If you're COG, you get an advance and more even split. You can forgo further profits for an immediate sum as well, Wang did that for Mecha Ace. If you're HG, it's 25% and free publishing. Just open a Patreon alongside if you have a popular WIP.
Anywhere I can play these things for free?
Any cultivation games?
>>3643052> Any cultivation games?No, we never any to begin with...
>>3643050Choice of mods
I am tired of all these Royalists vs Revolutionaries stories that are just dressing for Modern-day politics. I yearn for more stories that tap into actual metaphysical ideas.
>>3643062>But...b-but my hecking Wulframites vs Royalists.
>>3643062Grim and I is about death and how it affects you. Gets pretty metaphysical at times.
>>3643069Oh yea, I should download and try that one. I forgot about it.
>>3643064Wulframites and Royalists are boring split, and not even remotely as interesting as irl English civil war sides of Roundheads and Royalists.
>>3643064Which side had the blond elf femboy? Wulfram or Queen?
Some people took this shitpost seriously and this is a really bad thing.
>>3643041No HG still takes 75%. They only take 25% if you self-publish using ChoiceScript, but you have to buy the first 20k of payments first. As in, you buy a 20k license to be allowed to self-publish, and you dont pay them any more until after you make 80k. No one does this deal; every HG game you've played is paying CoG 75%.
>>3643077>femboy>hundreds of years oldthe definition of a hag(male)
>>3643103I prefer shotajiji.
>>3643110>t. tiberius
>>3643090Any examples?
>Persian steampunkSounds gay
>>3643076They are probably meant to be more in line of the spic civil wars of the 19th century.
>>3642960Any non-WIP CoG games that let you have a harem or romance multiple characters at the same time? I know that Creme de la Creme has a threeway route with the deliquent tomboy and the occult chick, and Wayhaven Chronicles pretty much lets you bang Natalie while Ava autistically watches from the cuck corner, but that's pretty much it unless I'm mistaken.
>>3643163Samurai of Hyuga, Heart of the House and Relics of the Lost Age. In the first you can fuck every single romanceable character with minor reactivity from Jun, in the second there's a potential threesome with the nonbinary maidfu and your male servant, in the third there's Esme and Abdul in the first book and Remy + one of them in the second. Can't remember much else otherwise that was at least tolerably written.
>>3643163Aura Clash will. Based anon.
>aura spics:/
Frogposters are even more pathetic.
>>3643214goku doesn't love you and he is a fictional character
You WILL enjoy the xianxia slop.You WILL care about the chinese culture.You WILL praise the CCP.
>be KaE author>spending time on tumblr reviewing other authors works rather than working on his own game/bookyeah this game is so very close to being abandoned
>>3643225It won't be abandoned as long as he gets dough from it. He'll just keep stringing everyone else along like Mind Blind's author with suddenly cancerous mother just during rewrites for the upcoming releases.
>>3642976why don't you play depression quest and buy an ad next time you faggot
>>3643261atleast that game is almost finishedKaE has gone through 3(?) rewrites and it was a rewrite of the prologue essentially
>>3643077I had a nice heart to heart with him in my rural estate.I hope I can develop it in to something in the next games. Still pissed that Lords wasn't the satisfying conclusion to the trilogy that I thought it would be going in.
>>3643298I think it probably would not let me go full depressed-groomed-suicidal-bomber angle I saw heavily from the demo. Rewrites usually cut more interesting bits out.
>>3643008Whats is a visual novel?All novels are visual, son.You have to read the words and visualize the story.
>>3643314i was subbed to the patreon, and from what i remember you still can actually join the terrorists, you get the decision after raiding that abandoned house in search of your brothers body or for their headquarters, i forget which, but it was at the end of the demo
>>3643326it's obviously not visual if you have to visualize it.
Who is the dumbest MC you have had to play in the Cog catalogue?
>>3643365On purpose? JollyCHAD, even when you int pump he comes off like a retard and fitzies into itthe author just not doing a good job and making you act stupidly so the plot can commence? samurai of hyuga when the MC decides to just fuck off into the snow and get enslaved by junko for a whole book.
>>3643365Relics' one in later books. It got obnoxious to see how much Spillane jobs and how often he forgets that he, in fact, has a gun and 10 Shooting. And free will. And ability to not follow what his stupid friends say about the value that human scum's life surely has.
>>3643365it's okay to be dumbut to answer any book that railroads the MC into a bad situation despite us passing a skill check
>>3643016fucking lol how do you get these stats
>>3643016how does heaven's revolution fare in sales compared to other CoG games?
>>3643390Yeah that's what I'm interested in.It's a niche genre and format that most people would turn there nose up at instantly. Not to mention the fact they're not actively marketed and promoted like Dustborn was. All in all, >>3643016 is a pretty useless comparison.
>>3643016>trying to salesfag a niche /vrpg/ threadgo back to vee your drunk
>>3643393Sales and popularity are not a mark of quality in any medium these days, videogames or otherwise. For example, Dredd bombed in the box office and that film is fucking fantastic. If they were then EA sports is the best game ever and everything else is trash compared to it, since it's in the top 5 every single year.
>>3643397True, Its just that /v/ is where salesfags are most prevalent and will barge into comfy threads about a game im interested to try to stir some shit. like slay the princess
>>3643412There was a short less then 100 post thread on /v/ about it yesterday, in preparation for the new update. Speaking of that reminds me, that update is out now and I should play it. Thanks for the reminder mate.
>>3643417I played some of the new routes and replayed razor and moment of clarity, it was kino, I'm gonna do the other new stuff tomorrow. one of the routes ends up with the narrator realizing how shit his plan is
>>3643423I am going to try and redo every route today, Gonna do Damsel first since she was the first I did in the original game but then I am going to do Fury to see what kind of glow up she got. Reminder to always kill the Wilds
>>3643425I did nightmare my first run and return run so I get it, damsel got a new chapter 3 by the way, access it by derealizing her theres a new option right before the tipping point
>people speak like this unironicallyI thought it was one of you shitposting until I realized they were serious
>>3643436I wonder what board she is talking about. Since she is on a video game form I assume /v/ and the only thing I can recall that might have done it in 2014 is when they flooded tumblr with gore. Still, pretty soft if that causes you nightmares.
>>3643438I think it was about college and not imageboards
>>3643436>>I thought it was one of you shitposting>t. has never spoken to a fag or an aging millennial woman
>>3643436>anon learns about normalfag womenI see you've never had a sister. mine will talk like that from time to time with her friends

what kind of autism causes this?
>>3643463Doesn't look like autism to me, looks like some kid just trying to make a comic.
>>3643132Asoiaf.>Incest>Monarchy>Pagan magic
>>3643465well it's connected to this>https://dashingdon.com/play/starchild/sense--sorcery-/mygame/which has the most menus and stat screens I think I've ever seen in a Choicescript game.
>>3643365The Ronin in Hyuga is a mopey retard.The Detective in Wayhaven is a useless retard.
>>3643225Wtf is KaE?
>>3643474>Detective in Wayhaven is a useless retard.Detective is meant to be a woman though, so it's ok, and she's getting some OP magic shit in the new book, so it's a moot point anyway.
>>3643480kingdoms and empires, apparently it's going through another rewrite>https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/kingdoms-and-empires-wip-april-fools-update/105687/6790(read post 6664)and the actual demo >https://dashingdon.com/play/fatedflame52/kingdoms-and-empires-beta/mygame/honestly after reading through that long ass post i prefer the changes now over previous iterations, i just have no faith that it'll ever be completed :/
>>3643494Wasn't KAE one of the pretty old kingmaker games? When it was all the rage to make your MC a future king or a royal, just like it was all the rage to make a squad of four otome twats in supernatural setting once Wayhaven came out. It's pretty noticeable if you look - especially in case of The Bureau, where author once admitted they didn't read much IF outside of Wayhaven.
>>3643546>When it was all the rageIt's still "all the rage", half the wips on the site and itch are about some royal heir getting into shitty situations.>The BureauThan one is so obvious it hurts
>>3643557Isn't it more about le trauma and le angst now after ITFO got popular? Can't remember much angst in KAE.
>>3643307Wang's been very transparent about it being a five book series the first two are only a prologue of for years, so I've no idea why would you expect that.
>>3642960Tainted with post modernism, and the woke can't write.A good text adventure game requires one or more grand narratives and must be heavily seasoned with images displaying fanservice of all kinds: females in skimpy clothes with nice tits and ass, cute little girls, ara ara shotas, kpop teenage vampires, and giga chads barbarians with perfect abs.
>>3643397It failed because you need a grand narrative that can resonate with most of your customers. Conservatives don't like cyberpunk dystopias, liberals don't like cops, and centrists are just extinct.
>>3643571Has he ever mentioned how long the daughter sequel will be book-wise?
>>3643630It's supposed to be a trilogy. Out of recent news on that front, he said that most of it will be set outside of Tierra, so having different endstates for the main series won't be as unsustainable as it seemed
>>3643640I can't believe our daughter will be the one to actually sleep with elven men.
>>3643090I agree, I am getting tired of esoteric magic systems in IF. They all do essentially the same thing as basic magic. So really there's only three steps in worldbuilding.
>>3643371>gets enslaved by JunkoYou say this like it's a bad thing. If anything, this proved the Ronin is operating on a higher level of thought.
>>3643567I've noticed an insane number of angsty low fantasy WIPs after ITFO.
>>3643649Yeah, that's what I meant by saying Kingdom and Empires is a result of older fad. MC isn't abused, they don't angst a ton, it's pretty high fantasy.
>>3643644>will be the one to actually sleep with elven menIt should have been us bros. . .
>>3643596>>3643600you sound like a massive faggot

>>3643683It's not even Cassius not being receptive, it's MC being a bloody moron who's unable to read the signs. Cassius will die a virgin at this rate of romantic receptiveness.
>>3643711Sis, Cassius is a libertine manwhore who fucked the Minister of the Navy on her work desk.
>>3643649>>3643650>zoomer thinks that angst is a new fadIt has been a thing in the 2000s and very prevelent in the internet popculture
>>3643726MC virgin! MC just keeps acting dumb and doesn't get that he's obviously flirty - I thought it's was us having one-sided crush on him, not this type of Wang torture cage.
>>3643644I cannot imagine or conceive of anything more cucked than having a daughter...
>>3643736Betrothedchads and Warburtongods don't have this issue.
>>3643218There's nothing xianxia about any of this.

>>3643753Not Warburton himself, but he helps you score if you're in Aetoria, including getting your buttocks full of seamen if that's your preference.

>>3643765You will have more children but she'll be the MC.
>>3643648it IS a bad thing, my ronin is CHASTE and saving himself for masami!
Hyuga hobbled so that PoMA could crawl
>Choose one of the three species available and discover your own worldview and the world's view of you. What is it like to be a human, a half-elf, or a half-satyr in this vast realm?What does that mean? Satyr is already a half, does it make you a quarter Satyr?>Learn, think, doubt, conclude. This world has a pre-written destiny – will you abide by it or challenge it? Who are you, and who will you become? Hopefully, I can pull some Ouroboros fuckery and correct the mistakes of the world.

>>3643789>Satyrs are being bred out of existence by dastardly humansThe bastards, soon even quarter satyrs will be rare!
>>3643494Well I'm glad he realized CYOA are supposed to have choices instead of being just a regular book that occasionally lets you choose what flavor of juice your mc drinks at least
>>3643803He should talk to the Hyuga guy.
>>3643811At least Hyuga had flavour that fooled people into thinking choices matter and you can actually get a bad ending if your attunement is low. KaE has none of that.
>>3643811It's too late for that story what with it already having multiple finished entries which is something it can brag about at least, compared to this fucker spending ages in just the childhood section
>>3643817He also had Fatehaven out way before Hyuga. Six games in total.

>>3643794Bro...You were already forced to be a certain gender is sabers
I am writing again, so have one more idea inspiration teaser for the twin game, this one is probably the last, as it is pretty obvious where the game will go.
>>3644190Being forced to be something good > being forced to be something bad
>>3644213don't know if this was asked but will there be other romance options? I'd love to see dear sister seething
>>3644234There will be her shota betrothal pinning after the MC that could potentially develop into a three-way relationship. The MC's personal attendant has a crush on the MC too. That will probably become a route in the book 2 or 3. The witch will get some lecherous moments with the MC. And that is for now all I have in mind. Will probably grow, as I plan this to be 4/5 books.
>>3644248>nigger is planning 5 books>didn't even release a demo yetYep, it's over.
>>3644250Errm, he "released" a demo that's literally just the prologue with>exposition exposition exposition>oh fuck I'm supposed to give choices ain't I?>two lines of choice-dependent text with random 4 numbers thrown around>exposition exposition exposition
>>3644250I did release a prologue, silly anon.
>>3644251He could make it big in the Patreon scam business.
I'm a monkey yokai and a latinx irl. Please don't use slurs such as latino or spic. We prefer to be reffered to as latinx, thank you.

>aura spic:/
>awawa *squeak* (>﹏<)
What's up with the autist spamming >aura spic? I don't get it: He doesn't like the game or what? Pretty sure this is the same dude that constantly bitched about infinityspics too.
>>3644406general autists, happens all the time
>>3644406Some latino people sit in Infinity Sea subforum section on the daily basis, and some of them do the same with wuxia and powerwank games. They're usually alright, to be honest - much better thab elitist le enlightened liberals that also frequent Infinity Sea subforum. It's devastating that the only guy similar to Iguazu as an LI is Asadi from Mecha Ace.
>>3644410>They're usually alright, to be honest>Juan José Cuevas>alright:/
>>3644411Your girlfriend got fucked by a mexican or something?

>>3644418It's just an extremely easy insult.
>>3644422you're not off the mark entirelymy family are jumanos living on a border area, and a spic raped and killed my grandmother a few years back
>>3644411Juan is a single example of an annoying latino. Far too many obnoxious people of different variety, though, and Juan is much closer to them than to the latino side. >>3644419It was deeply interesting to look how deeply Iguazu will go and what will he do in constant attempts to reach the levels MC has - his insecurity is something I have rarely seen in stereotypical rivals, and I do like it. His relationship with Redguns also helps to flesh him out.
>>3644423That sounds horrible anon, I am sorry.
>using cog forums>coming here to complain and shitpost about a cog forums only issue

>>3642960This is some riveting stuff, OP.At least VN's give you some visuals, who wants to stare at a Word document?
>>3645763You don't come around here much do you? Word documents are our bread and butter around these parts. If you do want something with a story and good visuals I recommend Slay The Princess, just got an update that expanded a bunch of the previously lacking routes.

>>3645763i remember when these used to be playable on browsers. the fuck do you need steam for this shit? what a disgrace. actually pathetic.
>>3645870Not particularly fun, as the game still keeps pushing you to interact with the Revolutionaries. You're not even a real cop, just an obligatory service militia.
>>3645878These are still playable on browsers and most of the sales come from the mobile stores. Steam release is just a prestige thing.
>>3645870It's not fun even as a cop the book is shit to the point I don't even feel like using mental bandwidth to criticize it

A couple months ago I finally played Cyberpunkdreams after a CYOA drought, and it’s probably the most frustrating game I’ve played in how close it is to being an engaging and interesting adventure only to be continually brought down by its terrible Facebook social game mechanics and bloat. There’s simultaneously too much to think about with 20 different negative statuses that can pile up while having nothing of value to do with a lack of direction and obtuse routes of getting content that isn’t busy work or grinding, and the few I was able to work out ended up being dead ends presented with a message saying “this isn’t available in the game yet”. If the dev wasn’t insistent that every interaction has to be the video game equivalent of a payday loan and just let me pay full price for it as a regularly designed CYOA I would gladly put this above many games in the genre.

I'm working on a conspiracy-thriller cyoa set in 21st century Los Angeles. You might even call it schizophrenic.What are some skills the protagonist should have access to?So far I was thinking:Physical FitnessFirearmsBooksmartsStreetsmartsPerceptionCharismaESPWhat do you think?
>>3646763Make Libspeak a language just for fun. It lets you coherently talk to/persuade rioters, homeless, and the children of the incredibly wealthy
>>3646763for me it's esp, booksmarts and perception for schizomaxxing, while obviously dumping charisma
>>3646775I was trying to focus on having around 7 abilities and letting the player choose two.Fitness+Firearms= SoldierStreetsmarts+Charisma= Con ManBooksmarts+Perception= DetectiveCharisma+ESP= Cult LeaderEtc.

>>3646888scarlet hollow is alright, tabitha is the most grounded character and only one I really end up caring about, it's pretty apparent how scarlet hollow is/was black tabby's first project ever, but I think it's still better than most western vns because if you play it smart the game recognizes you not being an idiot that drinks the tea. call her when your trapped in a house with a werewolf? she comes in with a shotgun. love my cousin dunno about the other games, They are probably alight >>3646905incredibly Based, I've been meaning to replay the OG afternoon of darkness for Halloween.

thoughts on this? it's still the most played demo on steam since it's released from Nest Fest (which is actually just their latest build EA 0.3.5) and already has enough content for a full playthrough and I've already sunk into it over 20 hours in just from a demohttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3117820/Sultans_Game/

>>3646763There should be an occultism/eldritch lore skill that does nothing but give you increasingly paranoid/hallucinatory descriptions during scenes the more you increase it
>>3647196>it's still the most played demo on steamwhat a mystery!
So far Scarlet Hollow's been pretty enjoyable. The artstyle wasn't my cup of tea at first but actually lends itself fairly well to the spooky atmosphere. Much better than a more polished animelike style would I think.Didn't expect things to kick off so soon. Just finished day 2.Also;>Janey>Tabitha>Reese's Mom>Stella>Keeneka>>3647206This is an excellent idea.
>this is what the women wantWe're all gonna make it...
Keen Eye + Mystical has been a pretty fun combination. I am afraid that the 'Mystical' options may be giving me too much info? Also the fact it's written like the MC has had this insight for a while but it never really gets mentioned or addressed.Animal Crossing and Academic(?) also seem like they would have been good picks. Not so sure about Hardy and Charismatic.>>3647226I just need to get a veil and I'm set.
>>3647230Yeah, the issue with Mystical is that it gives you quite a lot of info you wouldn't really get otherwise, but it hardly changes how the game plays out beyond >VGH I'm the modern day Cassandra...The strangest case is when it literally spells out for you everything in the ghost debacle, but it doesn't matter for shit because Book Smart is the one who gets the unique outcome quota there.
>>3647230Once you go through a playthrough scarlet hollow lets you use/combine 3 traits in a new one, with the caveat that they no longer give you a get out of jail free card with stuff like the ghost
>>3647361Why would you give up literally every trait-unique outcome just to get some extra flavour text? Who the fuck wanted this?
>>3647364me because it gives you more access to trait combining, like i think its perception and streetsmarts that lets you dump out the tea
>>3647369I'm pretty sure you can do that with just streetsmarts, since I was a bookworm rogue and I had no issue doing that.
>>3647196This Sultan fella sounds like a stand-up guy.
>>3647487wtfBut that's gay??

>>3648115A dog is often a much better pick then some other human in the first place. If I had the choose of having to either save my dog, or some random human I would choose my dog every time.
>>3648115as a dog owner, I would always prioritize my dog (or any dog) over some faggot human, with the exception being family.
>>3648320>>3648332>t. reddit tranniesa dog is an animal and ANYONE with a empathy and a heart would a save a human over a mongrel mutt
>>3648336Humans are humans and dogs are dogs. The only value anyone's live have is the value you place on them, since I value my dog more then I value a stranger it is only natural that I save my dog if their lives are at stake. In the same way if my mother or father were tied to trolley tracks and I could save them by pulling a level but that would kill 5 strangers. I would pull the level because I value my mothers life over the lives of strangers.How does your value system work? Do you value strangers lives more over those closest to you, do you place some intrinsic value on them simply because they are human?
>>3648336I'm not saving a random shitskin over my dog I've raised for 5+ yearscope
>>3648336This. reddit trannies would save their own dog over a random human because they are soulless in-group preference conservative monsters. I'd gladly save a poor starving mexican on the border over my mom because I'm a hecking good person unlike those reddit troons.
>>3648343nah fuck off with that, initial comment was me stating that anyone who saves a literal mongrel mutt over a human is a souless troon, nothing about saving another yuman over another humanmoving the goalposts with hypotheticals is a concession>>3648344>>3648345moving the goalposts? concession acceptedbtw if you live near shitskins then there's a 99.9% you're a shitskin yourself
>>3648351>Didn't explain how his value system worked>Couldn't even answer if he values strangers lives more then those closer to him OR if if humans have some intrinsic value on the basis of being humanif anyone should be accepting a concession it should be me. I very clearly explained why I would make the choices I did and you are unable to muster up a single defense for your own position, instead falling back on name calling.
>>3648336depends on the dog and human
>>3648363if i referred to dogs as mongrel mutts then my value system and how i place humans should be clear
wait you can get the dog killed? I just assumed the old farmer dude always trips and shoots himself with his own gun
I'd absolutely prioritize my dog who is useful and I care for above a random asshole on the internet or in a CYOA game who thinks he is entitled to me making sacrifices for him.
>>3648115this comment really did set off the tourists
>>3648379Stupid kuffars get angry really easily when you point out you don't care about their mongrel mutts and are better than them. The west is so weak it's laughable.
>>3648382>kuffarsI had to google that word, whatever happened to just calling us infidels?
>>3648384(anon they've been using that word since like forever, and it became more popular since the gulf war)
>>3648388Huh, first time I have encountered it.
Holy shit, so these games didn't end in the 90s or with depression quest?Quick, you got a brand new blank slate of a guy to imprint your taste in CYOA games, do your worst. I prefer you keep the multigender gayness to a minimum, but I know you won't
>>3648399SuzerainLife and Suffering of sir BranteIf you want that 90's flavor then the Sourcery series.Slay the Princess if you are into visual novelsRoad warden if you want time management.Bear in mind, none of these are part of the CoG's catalogue, but they are all great games and can easily recommend them for people just getting into the genre.
>>3648399Play Mecha Ace.

Why is there no competitive scene for cyoa games
>>3648652where are my king of dragon pass speedruns
>>3648652>competitive scene for cyoa gamesat first I thought you meant competitive market, and I'd say its because theres a low barrier of entry and everyone's a mediocre writer at *best* and the majority user base of CoG are wine aunts and lonely autists, thats why theres such a big RO focus. If you meant competitive like the other anon meant with speed runs and stuff i just have to say, huh? how would that even work? like fitzie% speedrun??
>>3648652>>3648673>every dialogue box has thousands of options which branch into thousands more>similar chance to win the lottery to figure out the story path>order of choices is randomized each time, forcing the player to scroll through a menu of thousands of responses each time>only the most determined cyoa autists will make it to the end>pit them against each other
>>3648673>he majority user base of CoG are wine aunts and lonely autistsbefore infamous i would've disagreed with that assessment
It sucks being someone who doesn't care for romance/relationship drama when so many people demand more of it and so many writers are happy to oblige.
>>3648443Yeah, the trained hunter so retarded he invariably gets himself killed without your direct intervention is going to be a real asset.
>>3648399samurai of hyuga is more of a kinetic vn than a cyoa but I still think it's worth reading
It's over. He folded.
>>3648752>discordthat's the moment he sold out. and calls him self an anon, for shame.
>>3648752Well yeah, duh. Your suppose to fold many times, like a samurai sword that has been folder 1000 times. The more you fold the stronger you become.
>>3648764Naruhodo...
>>3648740True. It is really weird he did't make it in that format instead. It would be far better.
Keeperxisters... It's dead...
>>3648443Midsummer was great and it perfectly captures the spirit of the play. I am eternally disappointed that CoG never asked for more Shakespear kino.>>3648631It was far better than most games that came recently. You actually do Doctor work and it is fun. Characters were compelling enough. Getting to the root of the plague and actually saving the town was satisfying. It also did the concept of mixing history and low magic way better than Chronicon Apocalyptica, now that was dogshit. I can't wait for Hexfinder.
>>3648785Plague Doctor is Pathologic but shit. Themes, characters, plot, etc.
>>3648785>and it perfectly captures the spirit of the playLike I said. I didn't think it was bad. Just not my cup of tea.
>>3648790In that game's defense, Pathologic is literally the best written game in the world.
>>3648679Wayhaven already came out half a decade ago though
>>3648752A normie job and family is one thing, but this is what he gets for buying a house. You can't say homeowner without homo.
>>3648785>It was far better than most games that came recently. I've really no idea what you're on. It's very much an etalon of what your generic CoG brand game is, the recent Golem game is pretty much the same thing except that one at least has a more interesting premise and some personality to its writing.
>>3648914cope rentie
>>3648920Mystical side was my pick. Was interesting enough to look at even with fully sceptical character ahd reminded me of Heart of the House well enough. Baron was a delight as well.
>>3648752This is a good decision tho: New patreon chapter+freeing the previous patreon content will generate a lot of necessary engagement.
>>3648967The mundane vs mystical pseudo-split was one of the weakest things about it by far, though. Literally just copying Dybowski's homework but making it as bland as possible. You mean the same Baron barely appears and hardly has any character beyond hovering as an antagonistic force in the background?
>aura spics coping and seething
Stop playing as a boring morafag.
>>3649045No, I dont think I will
>>3649048what a faggot
>>3649006Baron was the only character, Alice aside, that actually felt like a character. The plague itself being mystical in cause is also one of the few semi-interesting bits.
>>3649045What if I only pretend to be a normalfag because the choices give me better rewards?
>>3649073You are a soulless faggot who doesn't believe in anything. So you are the real normalfag.
>>3649073Sociopaths do the same thing because the benefits of being agreeable outweigh the benefits of being a prick. That's why most higher up's in companies are sociopaths, it's their niche.
>>3649062Where exactly did you see his 'character'? Serious question. He doesn't really have any depth to him beyond being an authority figure holding your career hostage to make you clean up for him. He's pretty much just a plot device. The main duo were the only real characters with some depth to them, and even then only for a given value of the word because they pretty much just play off each other.That aside, admitting that the game only has a few semi-interesting bits and barely any actual characters makes ranking it as A tier all the more baffling.
>I wanted to switch to Twine, but HG contacted me and said they have no intention of removing the game from their label, so I’m stuck with them for now.The ultimate and final cuck...
>>3649108It's not my tierlist, so I just chimed in. I think Mask is heavily carried by convenient timing and the fact Pathologic is too obscure even in butchered English version for most people. It's a rare theme, it's done tolerable level-wise and, well... it at least wasn't as irritating as most other works?Baron is a tad jovial, can warm up to you quite well and say you're the only person with sense in the whole bloody city, and I did feel empathy for his attempts to prevent the outbreak. He reminded me of a weird mix between Blok and Saburov, and he at least had good intentions. When everyone else wants to use you and just "fuck it we ball" the actual plague, it's not hard to grow attached to one of the few people that actually care about it all.
>>3649048What a qt
>>3649147>wants to use youWhich includes Baron himself. He only cares about the town as much as the job Crown gave him, and seriously expects you to clean up his shit by propping up the local corrupt mayor (who violates his own fucking siege!) enough to snub you completely just because the dumb bitch managed to get ousted even if you did everything your actual job entailed perfectly. There's next to no difference between him and other wannabe politicians of the game depth-wise.
>>3649160That never happened in my game anon. Whew, who would have thought putting a game I liked that high would cause this kind of sperg-out. lol
>>3649045I play murderhobos almost exclusively.
>>3649142Who did that happen to?
>>3649045
I only play moralfags because everyone is guilty of something and I like my killing and looting to be justified. I rest easy knowing everyone I have ever wronged deserved it and anyone saying otherwise is a bad guy who loves evil.
I only play moralfags because doing evil shit ALWAYS backfires on you in these games. It's never worth it.
>>3649176The Sword of R(h)iv(en)ia author came back from the dead and announced a full rewrite of the first game is ongoing.
>>3649218Should have actually worked on the second game instead. At this point, I am convinced that authors only announce these rewrites because they have no idea how to continue the story. Because they never thought that far into the future.
>>3649221To be fair, the first game was such nonsensical dogshit that a rewrite does make sense in her case. Whether she somehow suddenly the writing chops to salvage it is an open question though.
Cynical Dragoon is so cute bros...
>>3649248Based elf bro (wife)
Going to play Sir Brante for the first time relatively blind. Have only had my interest in it peaked recently so I know very little about it.Anything I should know? Any tips? Not so much for story beats but just some mechanics I should pay attention to? Anything important I shouldn't overlook or brushoff? Any dumpstats or anything I should avoid?
>>3649271You really should turn on stat gains display to make the stat-heavy gameplay more transparent. It's generally advisable to plan ahead from the start which "class" you'll be going with and build accordingly, i.e. you won't be really using Valor outside of the Noble path.
>>3649279Would you mind giving a quick, spoiler free breakdown of the 'paths/class'?Any personal favorites?
>>3649296There are just three paths: Priest; Noble; Lotless. You work as an inquisitor as a Priest, judge as a Noble and a roguish revolutionary fellow as Lotless. Not really much of a fan of the game in general, but Priest felt like the more interesting of the paths, Lotless felt pretty decent too, but I honestly only liked it when going for its glownigger "early game over".
>>3649302Ah, fair.Thanks for your time friend!
>>3649221Literally nothing fucking happens in Sword of Rhivenia.
Got Life and Suffering of Sir Brante on sale after getting interested but forgotten, decided to take mental health break lol. They weren't lying about suffering. The only game that managed to make me feel like shit, locking me into ruining everything in a way that made it feel like my fault.
>>3649231I'll be surprised if we even get a demo.Hell, maybe they'll even have you be treated like an actual prince.
Heritical Mommy. . .>>3649330Same. Have only just started it and boy I wish someone had told me about the setting sooner. Very cool.I don't know why but I was always under the impression the game took place in like 16th centaury Bulgaria or some shit.

>>3649518Oh shiddd, glad to help out orcbro. Keep writing at your godlike speeds. Also, to make a proper tripcode, put a # and password after your username, like orckino#password123. Obviously don't use password123 though.Quick question, do you have future genres in mind or is it ork city 24/7?
>>3649538Followed your advice. If it looks wrong it is because I am a sub-novice with low stats here and must improve!TLDR: Not orc city 24/7, but some other stuff too.I want to have expanded content and DLCs for the orc game. But I am writing a follow-up, where you are not an orc but a mixed-heritage humie, about a revolution set 1,000 years after the orc game. It might be 2 books. It has a tighter narrative than the first game. Still early days.After that, I want to make a third game set in the far future of the same galaxy but with space shenanigans. Here, I plan to have the MC be a Dark Elf/Scorned Elf (HG doesn't let me use Dark Elf). The lore arc will fit in if I don't meltdown.Also want to do an undead simulator thing at some point. Something like this might appear in the follow-up I am working on now.Just want to make epic storylines full of adventure. Will see where it takes me. But it is always good to know at least big green nutters enjoy it.

>>3649653while there he should drop the orcsoge and just go for the far future. we have barely anything there.
>>3649646There is no special sauce apart from tons of strong coffee. IF, at least for me, is too structured to allow other influences to propel the keyboard tapping effectively.I set regular hours and built up the habit of getting words down during those hours. If I take a break for a few days, it takes a while to build up the habit again. While it is a part of my routine, I can get quite a bit done. However, multiple-choice IF word count is not the same as linear narrative word count. I try to do 3-4,000 a day. Some writers manage 5,000 every day so I am not up there yet. I have had a few days of 10,000+ (whole days for this).Absolutely no AI for a myriad of reasons.
>>3649658So many have told me that, for HG and Cog, science fiction (though I will be writing a magitech fantasy in space) is unfavoured by many players. This place helped to break the mould.I am sure the horde anons helped to push my orc game out of absolute obscurity. Some HG folks were very happy that it brought a different flavour to the roster, though of course many were ambivalent.I just write what I want to, making a few concessions along the way for those who like what I do, though I do set boundaries. This also helps to get something finished. Really, knowing that people like what I did was the biggest incentive to write more.The orc game was something I tried to do for years and it never really clicked before.
How much you made from the game?
>>3649684No idea yet. HG sends the cheque 30 days after the start of a calendar month. I think this means that, since Green was released after the start of Orctober, I will get the loot at the end of this month.I've probably done okay for the release month. Not sure how to judge it properly yet but Green has stayed top of the bestsellers on the HG app, which I suppose is not unusual for the newest game on the block.Don't know how the game will fare over a longer period as it is niche. This might work in its favour but who knows?

>>3649809go back
>>3649604To be completely fair, that achievement would probably be much more common had that ending been in the game from the start since baseline damsel has the highest ending completion out of all the princesses.
>>3649814>completing all over baseline damselFeels good man
>>3649045Bait but I'll respond. If the moralfag is an interesting character I'll root for him. If the villain is an interesting character I'll root for him.
>>36498143% still feel just too low.
>>3649840When will he pay for his crimes?
>>3649846Literally never. He's too OP.
>>3649846Name one crime he's directly committed
>>3649843It has been a year since the original release, not only has the other achievement had a year to build it it's numbers but only a fraction of those who played it on release will ever come back to play the new update. Most people who get an honest heart will be autists like us who return to play the update to see the new routes or new players who have never played the game before. Damsel is the easiest one to get and even then 40% of the players never care enough to get her before the update. Such a low number for the new damsel is not a surprise, especially since it is competing will all of those who owned the game previously and will never play it again.

New Faith or Old Faith, Brante Bros?
>>3649961WILL
>>3649961Either Old or willist.

>>3649961New Faith, with Forgiveness as what I teach the Twins
any games where the RO can cuck you? or vice versa?
>>3650534there's a capeshit one where a literal author self-insert cucks you, but uh fuck off with your ntrslop
>>3650543sorry but i need to cope right now, and that'll help somewhatmy girl cheated on me with some twink fag, i'm seriously depressed right now
>>3650791>girl cheats on you>go to an online forum and ask for a cuck simulator so you can experience it againHit the gym, your T is too low
>>3650791Don't worry bro, I evened things out.Cheated on my girl with some twink fag.
>>3650791damn that really sucks man, but why would you want to experience that again in forma de text? I'd replay something comfy like jolly good if that happened to me but it hasn't because I'm antisocial and don't meet new people often
>>3650791You did break up with her right?
>>3649969>>3649973>>3650239>>3650275I'm still fence sitting and afraid indecision will lead to a worse outcome. I just don't think I'm cut out for being an Inquisitor, bro's. . .Also, Mages are neat.Just got to the part where Stephen wants me to help him marry off our Sister. I like them both, even if their personal faults make them insufferable at times. So not sure what to do. I assume I can't get Ennobled by the Sword and keep the family happy together?
>>3650791don't get mad, get evenyou must now fuck the twink too to uncuck yourself
>>3643090This is exactly how I did it and I'm very happy with the result. Chadman is always right.
>>3651003Tell me about it anon.I've been leaning in the direction of Chadman for my own worldbuilding.I even think I've found a way to include ritual Shibari in to my NOT!H.R.E+ Iceage setting. Just need to decide if it should included as an act of penance or as part of an initiation. Then, based on it's use decide why it is used. Clearly, exposing your body to the cold is part of the point. But what does the rope symbolise? Something tethering you to your body or is it restraining you from something?I'll have to go see what /tg/ says.
Whiskey Four is coming out soon, anybody play the demo, how is it? Should I buy it on release?

>>3642960can I get a tl;dr on this genre?how did it evolve from the sherlock holmes adventure books I read as kid that had you be a "promising detective" that got fed some minor cases by holmes
>>3651217>>3651217It evolved into shitty dating sims with one of the most popular/most sold being not-twilight. But once in a blue moon we get something good that remembers what the genre is called and actually has divering paths, or is atleast fun like jolly good.
>>3651222it's still mostly text right? Also, what's the difference between these and jap visual novels? other than the fact that jap writing is shit
>>3651228>what's the difference between these and jap visual novels?Actual player agency and not just hours of clicking through text until you get a single choice to decide which girl to date?>>3651222>But once in a blue moon we get something goodCan you give me some examples? Last choice of game I tried to get into was unsupervised and immediately dropped it when they introduced some trans guy right in the opening
>>3651228yeah, in theory it being just text allows you more flexiblity on making different routes, and there are alot of small fluff choices in em, but a problem is a lot of CoG writers get lost in the weeds giving you completely useless asthetic chocies like describing what kind of food your eating or coffee or your hair color or whatever and then not letting the player actually make any choices that would impact the story other than who you want to them to romance. Some stuff I would reccomend is unsupervised, auraclash and afformentioned jolly good. Then if you want to see how NOT to do a cyoa look at wayhaven and samurai of hyuga.
>>3651244>he got filtered by flitlol, also It's vague because of course it is but flit is 1000% a woman with the whole "guys trust my ex" thing and moralfagging.
>>3651245is there any that is more like an RPG like the old fighting fantasy series? You know, with stats and dice rolls.
>>3651307there are some Vampire the masquerade ones that are of varying quality and try to emulate tabletop character sheets, Dice rolling isn't really all that common the only one I can think of of the top of my head is breach the archangel job, but also for nonCoG stuff theres the sorcery series which you might be looking for.
>>3651307There's always mine :^)https://dashingdon.com/play/cultivator-anon/aura-clash/mygame/
>>3651310thanks, will take a look>>3651312I'll leave a negative review if there's not at least one jade beauty in it
>>3651324hackpot sisters our October demo is nowhere to be seen....
>>3651307No dice rolls but Pon Para hits that old school adventure feel.
>>3651324stop genociding cultivator-anon...
>>3651312When is it getting updated?
I'm sorry bros I've decided to add trans-route so it's gonna take more time...
>>3651554Honeypot...
>>3651544I don't even try to offer deadlines anymore, work is crushing me to the point that I can't predict any writing time. The house stuff is mostly done so things are recovering a bit, but my co-worker leaving was a total collapse. I have 80k words without the 20k from the Trials (some of that will transfer over), what I need now for a partial release is to finish up a few hub areas, do 5 companion quests, and then do bugtesting. In a perfect world that's 1 week for each item which is 7 weeks. I want to do much better than that, but may do worse. The only good news is I cannot be fired, as I have no co-workers, so I have begun abusing that status with Fang-like smugness.
>>3651711Can't you at least ask for a raise?
>>3651712Did, failed, manager was honest that the higher ups wouldn't allocate any money for him to use without threatening them with an offer letter, he was even bro enough to tell me which competitors would get them more likely to counter offer, but if they decline then I need to leave to the new offer. A new job might mean never getting the writing time back. A risky maneuver that I've begun already, resumes are sent out.
>>3651711>>3651716Man, at this point, just shelve the project and give it another shot once you get things sorted out. Your life seems to be getting more complicated by the day, and this can’t be good for your mental health.
>>3651737No worries for burnout there. The writing is actually my only relaxation, the flaw at the moment is I have had no time to relax.

>>3652396Steam if legit.Choice of Mods otherwise.
>>3652001Tehol and Bugg were so fucking good.
finished playing trough the aura clash gameit's fun, but too many times where I was just clicking trough bored as the narrator spent too long describing how the bad guy was doing bad thingsSpecially the time you get captured at the end of the game. The extremely cringe "rival" I could not care less about just being evil for no reason too was very boring too.Besides that I enjoyed most of it. 8/10.
Which games let me have a very feminine twink as a wife?
>>3652495boku no pico
>>3652495I can't take this grown man seriously.
>>3652495berserk
>>3652495Never, fujopig. All twinks are gay or like actually pretty women.
>>3652574>all twinks are gay or like attractive womennta but I think your misunderstanding the concept of a fujo, they want to watch/read twinks BE gay with other men for some reason, not be with the fujo.
