Is It Joever? have we reached the limits of the unstoppable power of our imagination and CoG having zero quality control?
>>3656619Yes, the drought was too powerful.
Only Aura Clash can save us.
>>3656662Two more years!
Only a real cultivation CYOA can save us.
All I care about is it hanging on until Samurai of Hyuga, Archangel, Fallen Hero, Golden Rose, and that one vampire game I can't remember the name of are finished. Then it can die.
Keepersisters... it's alive! New update.
HOLY SHIT IT'S REALTime to traumatize Astrid and Katia again!https://dashingdon.com/play/daydreamsincolor/keeper-of-life-and-death/mygame/
>>3656721>Hi everyone! The demo has just been updated with ~46k words of new content, mostly additions to earlier chapters, including options for MC to not claim the sun artifact and not rescue their parents. I hope you enjoy!Huh, I wonder if that means we end up dodging the whole schizo arc, also that one guy who really hates his parents got something too
MALEKITSUNESINGLE DADSERAPHINAYep... time for kino...
>46k words for more than a year of workKeeperxisters... it's still dead.
>>3656619Haven't been here since unsupervised dropped. What's the QRD on what's new? I heard an Unexpectedly Green Journey or whatever it's called released, but I didn't actually like the demo very much when I tried some months back.
>>3656789Whiskey 4 dropped, cultivator-anon died in a tragic cart accident, keeper 3 isn't dead afterall, and nicky's finally stopped dicking around on commission fights and got up to the tournament (not started, but he's writing it)
>>3656721is this the title where the keeper's power will finally manifest or will the chosen savior of the world keep getting instantly disabled at the whims of others?
>>3656806yea
I play porn cyoas that are also management games. I feel no drought. I pity you purists.
Anyone fucked Ulysses in Whiskey? Was the only character that felt even remotely interesting.
>>3656646The Golden Dragon, the Jade Emperor and the Four Auspicious Beasts smile upon me. Can you say the same?
>>3656721Can we kill that bitch that put us in the nightmare dream yet
>>3656949EroMegatenGVD.... I kneel...
>>3656957Someone kept interrupting.
>>3656968>Can we kill that bitch that put us in the nightmare dream yetYou’ll have to be more specific, anon.
>>3656989He probably means that keeper hag.
>>3656989I haven't played keeper in a long while so i forgot her name but she's that absolute scumbag that puts you in a coma and you have to strangle your dream family to get the fuck out.
>>3656985Who exactly? Anomaly?
>mfw LunarDEITY kiihakaiSOVEREIGN
>>3656806>>3656946yeah I can already tell nothing will change which shouldn't surprise me since a humongous faggot is behind it all.I have specifically picked all the options which point to my character Not. Giving. A. Fuck. about killing world ending terrorists and yet shit like this still keeps appearing.these people should not be writing 'action flicks'.
>>3657120>same game where you can take a dude aside and nonchalantly tell him he shoulda died and your gonna kill him someday soonwhiplash
>>3657122I just do not understand the point of giving these tough guy options if your character will keep acting like a little bitch after the deed is done.
>>3657135Author probably has trouble writing away from their own voice. I had the same problem for chapter 6 and the coming chapter 7 where I have to keep rewriting portions where your (19 year old) character ignores peoples stupid shit and focuses on whatever you're doing instead. Its still an option, but I used it as my default flavor text too often because as a dad that's the default towards screaming kids.
>>3657141That or he doesn't want to write more "routes" or he wants to really enforce his vision on what the character SHOULD be/do to one degree or another even if it looks nonsensical.If you give me the option to say that I don't care (a few, in fact), then I don't want to see text some pages later where I say to myself that I am 'losing my mind' or that it is having an impact on me "OH woe to me and all this blood in my hands".No mate I already said I don't care, my mind is crystal clear. These people need to die and that is it.If you do not want this type of character in your story then do not give the options that point to it.
>>3656721>tfw huntermain thalia appreciator It sucks to be irrelevant.
>>3657169>hunter>not magedeserved.
>>3657170If one of the options on how to deal with magic monsters is "Punch it in the face really hard", I will never choose something else.It really does suck Thalia is basically a secondary RO, though. She's the best. Sharkteeth girl from a species literally made for human men.
Desdemona sex.
Fang sex.
It's up.
>>3657393The first two sucked. I have no hopes for the third one to be good.
>>3657048Depends on the situation I think once it was Castle & Driver, once the marines on Ark, and so on. Like when making out started, it was always just someone going "now is not the time for that".
>>3656619I'm new to this genre and only I've read aura clash and fallen hero retribution.they were fun but I don't like reading unfinished stories.what are some good CYOAG that are actually complete?
>>3657399I liked them far more than any of the vampire ones. Bly is great waifu.
>>3657464Vampire the Masquerade has two good ones, Night Road and Parliament of Knives. Besides that people tend to like Pon Para and I'm personally a fan of Life of a Wizard. It's dry but has a lot of reactivity and doesn't waste time on fluff.
>>3657487not a fan of vampire so I guess I'll take a look at pon para and life of a wizard, thanks
>>3657464If you're not restricting yourself to just CoG/HG, try Life and Suffering of Sir Brante and Suzerain.
>>3657499I don't mind them not being CoG/HG, I'll look at them too, thanks.
>>3657502Suzerain is really good, I can really recommend it.
>>3656619we need erotic cyoags
>>3657509>Corruption of Champions>era games
>>3657510those are too focused on erowe need story based ero
>>3657487>parliament of knives>good
>>3657508>meet corporation owner>he tries to bribe me>meet another buisness owner>he tries to bribe me>my retarded VP made a spy our secretary>my wife gets pissed at me because I'm to moderate on women's rights>the military is pissed at me because I don't want to escalated a border conflict>the commies and fash are pissed at me because I'm not a commie or a fash
>>3657547Rizia is even a bigger mess desu.
>>3657464I second, >>3657487 Pon Para.Arcadie is also good.
>>3657579>Arcadieit does look interesting, I'll take a look, thanks. Gonna start pon para now.
I'm the only one here who played it so I'm shilling nocked again.
>>3657591I would play it if it was the furry version of robin hood
>>3657591>CYOAG where you can't customize your characternot interested
>>3657596You can play as a girl and choose your origin. What more do you need?
>>3657464Tally ho and jolly good
>>3657599>female virgin robin hoodok fine I'll play it
>>3657600>Tally hosince you can choose the gender of your employer, can you fuck him/her/it?
is detroit: become human a CYOAG?
>>3657602Not only can you fuck them but you can participate in a depraved threesome relationship with their opposite sex fiancee.
>>3657605Good to knowI'll just stick to fucking the female employer, not interested in another dude.Now if you could do ffm with you being the m part I'd be ok with it
>there are "people" want to fuck rory
>>3657621retards are cute
fastest you dropped an RO? pic unrelated
>>3657621Having a ultra-competent maid fall in love with her borderline retarded-but-earnest employer will always be kino.
Tea and Scones fucking WHEN I WANT POLEMIC AND ILLICIT RELATIONSHIPS WITH MY MEIDO NOW
>>3657647in probably a year and a half ish beacause the author is an actual fucking college professor. (and is working on the other routes)
>>3657591First I heard of this, looks fun. Will give it a look.
Tick tock...
>>3657873
>>3657873It's me time manipulator from the future, shits all fucked, zaper died of a crack overdose right before he hit publish on unsupervised 2 eletric boogalo, cultivator anon and nickydicky are both STILL on the jobbing tournament arc, honeypot is still an attention whore that hasn't actually made anything, tea and scones was great 10/10 but now its gonna be a decade till the third book and Keeper 3 is still not finished, the orcGOD has taken over hosted games with his 20 books that he published in just under a year.
>played 4 coyag so far>every single one forces you to be captured at some point regardless of your choicesI haven't played many of these but wtf is with the fetish for having your character captured evey time
>>3658084my guess is its an easy way to sidestep player choice because they literally take the choice out of your hands so no matter what your motive or method oops your kidnapped and have to do this railroad thing haha
>>3658084Women
>>3658051It's ok anon just do your best!
>>3658086But aura clash has you get kidnapped too.
>>3658113cultivator anon is secretly a woman
>>3658113plus effeminate men
any female character that got captured has been rapedyou know this is what would realistically happen, the authors just don't mention it due to age ratings.
>>3658126the ronin definitely got raped in book 5 regardless of his gender
>>3658126>astrid raped youwtf?!
>>3658113You're 19 or 20 at that point so it's not kidnapping, it's just a bit of bants with the boys.
>xianxia writing
Anyone played Werewolf 3? Can you fuck Maker yet?
>>3658084whenever the character is captured in a CYOAG I lose interest in the story, because I know it's time for the suffering porn where none of your choices matter and you just gotta sit trough the author masturbating about how evil the villain is.
Is there any CYAOG where your character gets pregnantasking for a fren
>>3658433Samurai of Hyuga book 4 as a fem MC.Aura Clash in the future.
>>3658433Hyuga.
>>3658435>>3658436>Samurai of Hyugacool, my fren might play itIs it voluntary?
>>3658438Yes(No)Maybe
>>3658438yeah if you fuck jun(ko). which you Shouldn't since the the games have been signposting like hell that your child would be the anti-christ.
Eyuup *smacks lips* I'm thinkin.. it's over
>>3658470>your child would be the anti-christfaggotry saves the day once again!>TOTAL JUN LOVEkissing him, looking into his eyes, running your palm across his chest, holding his hand, telling him it's not his fault, cuddling him for warmth during the cold winter nights while sensei is gone, letting him eat you, eating him back, crossing your katanas during training, tracing the scar he left on your abdomen, kissing him in front of Masashi, kissing him in front of Toshi, abandoning your quest from the emperor for him, retiring together in sensei's cottage, growing a garden together, growing old together and passing away in each others's arms>TOTAL JUN LOVE
could one of these games be made on a iphone?
>>3658623>the fujo is back
Playing Heart of the house after coming off of Sir Brante and Scarlet Hollow.Up to Chapter 4 and so far it's been neat. Kinda strange that my assistant has been so hard up gay for me tho. Too bad he's not a cute guy (white) in a dress. Missed opportunity desu.
>>3658834A CUTE!Does it have peen?
>>3658860no.
>>3658913I am disappoint.
Leave Cazarosta...to me.
>>3658934>kills your childhood friendfuwhy the FUCK would anyone ever go undercover cop?
What's the consensus on mecha ace?
>>3658962fujos really like not char
>>3658962Barely anyone cares about it outside of one fujo huffing her blonde raibaru catnip.It's serviceable enough and one of the better CoG brand games (not saying much desu), but it doesn't really have much substance to it beyond>OYW but I swapped some parts around and threw some random references to other mecha franchises and Peninsular War inand Wang has only really matured as an author by Guns.I'll always recommend it as a good introduction to CoG, but on it's own it's not particularly remarkable.
>>3658964>>3658977But not Char is a girl in my gamein fact so is everyoneexcept me of course.>I'll always recommend it as a good introduction to CoG, but on it's own it's not particularly remarkable.I guess it's a good thing it's my second CoG then.Once I finish, what's a good one to read next?
>>3658982for gender selectables I usually try to evenly disbute it because it feels weird if your character is the only important dude in a sea of women.
>>3658987I will always keep them all chicks in the hopes that at least one CYOAG will provide a harem ending.
>>3658991best your gonna get is a polycule with CoG. and I don't care about the 2 maids meme I am NOT fucking starling she is a massive BITCH and fitzie is better and COOLER
>>3659014>polycule with CoGif there's only one male it's harem even if the girls are fucking each other
>>3659015sure but what I meant is its never gonna go over 2 people, there's no golden fuck everyone route
What's with zooms and polycules?
>>36590162 people excluding the MC, 3 including but you know what I mean
>>3659016lamewe need a coomer version of CoGnovisual novels are not the same
>>3659017bro there are harem anime/manga/VN that are older than you
>>3659019they uhh, they tried that. it wasn't good
>>3659020>HaremDo you know what polycule means, retard?
>>3659021Obviously it can't be by the same guys that do choice of games, they're very tyrannical and censorship happy that shit doesn't work for porn
>>3659023all harems are polycules but not all polycules are harems
>>3659025its (shitty) smut for wine aunts and fujos
>>3658982Tin Star is a good intro to the bigger games since it's standalone and the wordcount there is actually spent on branching so it's not a drag to read. Also like the only western here.
>>3659041>Tin StarI'll take a look, thanks.
>>3659021Isn't Heart's Choice just homo smut?
>>3659051the singular marignally okay one that i see ever getting a reccomendation is wrestling homo smut, they have other straighter smut that's just garbage too
I'm starting to think there was never a honeypot game in the first place.
>>3658636It's funny because the fujo route is literally just a reskin of the female ronin route with "she" changed to "he", I know because i checked the code. The same goes for the yuri route being a reskin of the straight route (aka the original one) with "he" changed to "she"Straight samurai route is obviously the original one, whether male or female.
>>3659060>Anon conned people into thinking he was making a game>not for fame or patreon bux, but just for the fun of itI respect it.
>>3659072>t. h*neyp*t
>>3659060it's so joever. I just wanted silly bee pun capeshit...now all we have is unsupervised
>>3658962too short
>>3658962Kino, but also >>3659080Making Char a girl and fucking the autism out of her was great, we need a season 2.
>>3659060Emotional scammers are a menace!
>>3659075>handed cum>told its cum>still drinks itwhy did he do it
speaking of drinking cum, what is the manliest, most heterosexual CYOAG there is?
>>3659087samurai of hyuga
>>3659087Aura Clash, of course. Homosexuality literally doesn't exist in the universe. All the men are manly and all the women are feminine.PoMA is a close second, it also has no homosexuality but there are straight twink fuckboys and big muscly women in it.
>>3659087jolly good
>>3659087>manliest, most heterosexual CYOAGNo such thing
>>3659097 I would have been gay for tang ruo
>>3659097>PoMAWhich one is this?
>>3659103Path of Martial Arts.
>>3659097I HATE STAR CONSTELLATION I HATE STAR CONSTELLATION!
>>3659106thanks
>>3659097>>3659098>>3659099all of you need to sit the fuck down because CHADmurai of HYPEuga is the only one which lets to groom your young wife with the feelings you have for each other slowly developing throughout several booksit's beautifulor you could enjoy the yandere idk>>3659106>>3659110play on story mode but put points in charismayou are welcome
>>3659112Based masami bro
>>3659087Aura Clash is the only one I'm aware of that has checks that actively cuck you out of cheating in a homosexual romance.It also changes a lot of lines depending on your sex because women be women hahaha, despite having no actual reason for them to differ.
>another xianxia WiP has hit the forumsRoyalRoadification of CoG is full speed ahead.

>>3659132it's a xianxia litrpg for womenis this the worst possible combination? I think it is!
>>3659144on the plus side it will provide lots of content here when we start tearing it apart

>>3659129>femlockedAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>3659183The next infinity game is going to be femlocked
>>3659214>the game that is MAYBE done in 15 years will have a female charIn that case I won't even care since she's the dragoon's daughter.
anons i am currently replaying the werewolf games but I cant figure out how to join dad's faction at the start of 2. I use all the nices talk options with him but my character still automatically tells him to fuck off, any ideas?
>>3659086that's exactly how I play CYOAs
>>3659129what the FUCK does this have to do with xianxia
>>3659259>This world is a land of magic and cultivation, where a person's powers depend on the bloodline, practice as well as the amount of monster nucleus consumed>b-but it's xuanhu-nobody cares

>>3659214>nextThere are still two games to go before we even touch the airship yurikino
>>3659271the author is
>>3659292I don't know what that is
>>3659292Made for BWC.
>>3659292damn zaper's really hit some hard times huh?
>>3659292Wang transitioned?
Having played a grand total of 3 cyaog (aura clash, fallen hero and mecha ace) I feel like the old game books like sherlock holmes solo mysteries had more content, more endings, and were better written than these modern games.Still they didn't allow me to fuck waifus so I guess CoG style games have their purpose.
>>3659355>they didn't allow me to fuck waifusyou will get over ittoo much trash these days where you meet someone and you are already supposed to pick the love option if you are interested in 'romance'. there's no build up. (and this is one of the reasons why soh holds a special place in some anons hearts)the last 3, if not more, cyaos I played I didn't romance anyone because why would I? I don't fucking know these people
>>3659362Well it's still new to me but I'm sure I'll eventually tire of it and crave actual good writing instead>sohThis is Samurai of Hyuga right?
>>3659370yes
>>3659355They probably did have a lot more content and choices. I'm trying with Aura Clash but the fluff bloat keeps killing me. I'm trying to return to my chapter 3 routes where descriptions can be shorter and work just fine, but chapter 7 right now is 100k words when it could be 60k.>>3659362My bad, if I get to a book 3 I'll give you a slowburn as your grandchild doing different stuff.Currently writing up the first demonic cultivation quest, then onto the Temple.
>>3659355>had more contentI think you're overvaluing them or undervaluing how much stuff goes into these without seeing the code like you do with a book.Most of those barely had a proper story, were just as on rails if not more with you getting bad end gotchas for "replayability", branching was barely that, and each playthrough very short, even if you were playing by the rules instead of just turning back your page. I'd maybe kinda get it if your point of reference was something like Fabled Lands, but even that one is wide as an ocean, shallow as a puddle as far as actual content goes. All due to the constraints of being written as an actual book, of course, but still.I'd recommend playing Tally Ho or Tin Star if you want something far more branchy and replayable than your previous selection.
>>3659383seconding this reccomendation
>>3659383>>3659393I do have tally ho and tin star on my backlog.>current backlog in alphabetical order>arcadie second born>pon para 01>tally ho>tin starI don't remember who recommended arcadie to me or why but if it's here it must be in for a reason
>>3659400Hagfags and sister lust, thats the only notable quality about it, it has two hags and the sister is one of the most developed characters before she gets killed off.
>>3659400Ah, right, Now that I think of it, you should probably give An Unexpectedly Green Journey a try. It's incredibly free form. As long as you're fine with playing a fungal orc and the writing not being exactly literary-level, it's very fun and replayable. The closest thing to what I imagined by a CYOA as a kid.
>>3659423I'll take a look, thanks
>>3659400>arcadieBased.May be a bit disappointed if you're looking for largely branching narratives.>>3659362>there's no build upIt's honestly one of the things I liked most about Arcadie. Both RO's have a short burn route.>>3659402>Hagfags and sister lustIt's great.
>>3658934Only game that I felt (you) could be death incarnatealso Raquel best girl
>>3659400>arcadie second borndrop that, it sucks
>>3659232Just like in 1 you need a low feral stat. I think it's not required to get the early join williams ending with Tayla though later in the game, but I could be wrong.
>>3659515>spoilerAgreed.
>>3659515>spoilerLol no, the game has a lesbian you can give dick correction to. You can't top that shit.
>>3659715Raquel is (((asexual))) and you can dick her down so that's even better.
>>3659515>spoilerThats not mouse
>>3659977romancing a corpse is illegal
>>3659978>ever being a glowie, even as a joke
>>3659980You're working for the glowies either way, might as well be in on it.
>>3659984I'll run them all over by the time I'm done, total glowie death.
>>3659987>implying they'll let you run over INSURMOUNTABLEriel the UNSURPASSABLE
>>3659984>your working for the glowiesretard take, the entire point of the glowie route is that your being constantly sabatoged by uriel fronting as your boss because he somehow wormed his way into the feds, but he's purely doing it to keep the feds off the gangs back and dig up any potential rats in the gang with those phonecalls. Its why hardened criminal or not robinhood is the only two actually good routes in the game, luv me mouse, luv me crew, luv me totally not cursed jewelry, ate other gangs, ate cops not racist just don't like em.
>>3659995Yeah, Anthony Reville Galilae is absolutely not a fed exploiting edge idiots to go after other criminals instead of doing actual crime.
>>3660004Is his sister the OG uriel and the Canada gang that inspired the American branch feds Too?
>>3660007>>3660004>>3659995>>3659992>>3659987>>3659980What game are you talking about?
>>3660016Breach: The Archangel Job
>>3660026thanks
>>3660026forgot to ask, is it good?I always get a bit worried when I see the first bullet point (*) selling the game is "you can be a normal person or a fag" and the second point is "you can fuck a bunch of people!"
>>3660034thats pratically every single CoG salespitch because its sold to insecure selfinsertfags and waifu/husbandofags, it doesn't usually have a bearing in quality because authors get shit for not including romance see the OrcGOD writer with his not warhammer fantasy orc game
>>3660037I see, so it's basically mandated from above, I get it.
>>3660034I like it.
>>3660007Given Gabriella pretty much spells out for you that the purpose of Archangels is turning crime into a controlled opposition, yes.
Pomasisters... finally some kino...
>>3660092Jobberbros are so back
>>3660092Nicky is good at filling you with vengeful rage.

Aura spics :/
>>3660178*aurachadsfix'd ur typo
>>3660178Sorry bud, jig's up. Just like the infinispics before you, time for something new.
there are 3 things guaranteed in life, death, taxes, and yet another fucking king arthur wip
>mfw there's no cyoa where you're not saving the world for the 102847 time and instead are involved in some small-scale conflict as a nobody
>>3660453But this time Arthur is trans and Mordred is a pansexual lesbian :)
>
>>3658367>suffering porn, always Weird nobody did “your captor is honorable officer but on other side of conflict” as plot device to show other side of conflict until ransom arrives or prisoner exchange happens. Extra possible drama if both characters become friends in that time and lattter have to kill each other cause “muh duty”
>>3660453really not sure who wants to play as a cuck
>>3660483Right? I remember that plotline in one of the Sharpe books, it was great.
>>3660478>But this time Arthur is transNot a new concept at all, thank you, Merlin.
>>3660466If I finish my twin game then you will indeed not save the world, but destroy it there. Incidentally, I haven't been writing much lately because I was playing Slay the Princess and Wandering Sword. And also started to replay Sora no Kiseki.But yes, we need more games that let you play as a villain and destroy the world.
>>3660724>I want a lowscale story>don't worry anon instead of *saving* the world you'l be destroying itc'mon you know thats not what he meant
>start reading tally ho>it's literally just the first episode of jeeves and wooster
>>3660819actually it's jeeves and wooster written by a fujo who wanted to see Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry fucking each other
>>3660823tally ho is pretty tame though
Anon will the patch bork the saves? Who am I kidding I know they will?
>>3660453Arthur mythos is something I'll never understand>There's actually no good primary source and barely anyone has read it>There's no hard canon and most of the events and characters are pretty vague and different between adaptations>It's not really that mainstream. Other than Arthur, Excalibur and perhaps Lancelot, it's likely the average person at most knows a few other names without knowing who they are or what they do>It still gets regular adaptations and is used as a backdrop setting where you are expected to know all the round table knightsIs it a brit thing? I assure you that if I asked anyone in the street who Mordred was the most likely answer would be confusion.
>>3660843ChoiceScript borks saves almost 100% of the time because it auto-kills saves "to protect you" if changes were made to any scene before the one you're on
>>3660843>>3660857That includes making any permanent variable, because the variable page is loaded at the start.
>>3660855there's a couple of names anyone who reads books or plays video games will know: Arthur, Guinevere, Galahad, Percival, Lancelot, Merlin, Excalibur, lady of the lake, Mordred, Avalon, the once and future king.Not a brit btw, and I never read any of the actual books about it. This is just from pop cultural osmosis.btw the "ask on the street" thing is silly because the average person doesn't know anything and trying to pander to the lowest common denominator is a sure way to make your game/book/novel garbage.
As someone who has just finished his annual playthroughs of Tally Ho and Jolly Good, I have to say, Rory sexo, and Fitzie sexo. This is all.

>>3659626Does the choice happen in the first or the second game? Because even with 34% feral I can still only tell him to fuck off or lie and work againts him in the flashback at the start of book 2.This is so fucking stupid why do the mainline games always have these esoteric requirements when it comes to choosing a halfway interesting path?
