Would you like to see a similar collection of Lone Wolf, or do you feel the transition ruins something?
Sorcery! is so good.
Lone Wolf was so fucking annoying to play past like book 3.
Fang!
>>3825518The ideal woman.
>>3825510What I dislike about Sorcery! is the magic system.
Is there a CYOA more overrated than Fallen Hero?
>>3825524Wayhaven.
>>3825526no way, wayhaven gets roasted plenty for its bs, while fallen hero just gets constant praise
>>3825526I mean, I feel like everyone acknowledges it's shit, even fans consider it a guilty pleasure. But people will unironically go and say Fallen Hero is a good story.
>>3825524Infinity
Fuck it I'm adding twin clown villains romance to my wip.
>>3825540Female only?
>>3825523What actually is the magic system in it? I tried to play on mobile but it didn't grab me, thinking about going back.>>3825540Absurdly based
>>3825541Female only but one of them has a penis
>>3825543cringe
>>3825540It's not like it's ever coming out anyway
>>3825542There are 50-odd spells you can cast whenever appropriate. Most cost health or need spell components to cast.The quirk of the system is that instead of telling you which spells are available in a given situation you're given a jumble of letters and need to figure out which spell names you can write out using them.It's alright. It fits the unique, weird setting.I'd definitely give the games a chance, they are some of my favorites.
>On the Run: Rogue HeroesThis could have been fun, but it felt no matter the choices, the way my character felt and acted was almost railroaded constantly
>>3825597>BIG WOKIt's a cultivation game?
>>3825686No, just cooking
Cooking CYOA when?
>>3825515Any frustration I had with Lone Wolf died after I experienced the sheer torment of Graystar. Having a mage protagonist with limited MP, weak melee, and unavoidable LW style combat was a truly evil decision.
>>3825540God please just let me fuck male/female twins

>>3825737Everything sucks when the tone isn't set yet, I'll give it a shot
>>3825742Thanks, bro. If nobody's got me I know anon's got me.
>>3825742He never delivers
>>3825749At least he's cute and sexy.
>>3825749Think again.
>>3825763
>>3825765Don't be pissy, slut, I'll grow on you yet.
>>3825763Honeypot-kun, you need to have that if statement choice on the next line and one tab over. Same-line only works for selectable_if and disable_reuse
>>3825732Thanks honeypot.
>>3825775No? Don't gaslight me, it works as intended. Also I'm a girl now.
>>3825510No because Lone Wolf is dogshit while Sorcery! is kino
>>3825786You do write like a transgender.
>>38255101 and 2 were fantastic. 3 and 4 are a total slog.
>>3825523That's like the best part though, especially the couple of times where you cast a spell that isn't in the book. Makes you feel like a genius.
Give me one reason why I shouldn't make my game in a massive flow chart before ever actually turning it into a game.
>>3825793>How kino?I played it when I was a kid on my mom's iphone and it blew my mind. Still blows my mind today. Carried hard by the ambient music and the amazing maps.I tried contacting the artist to get a print of the maps but the jews at Inkle hold the fucking rights.
>>3825789I'm not trans.>>3825793It's fine, you can tell by your 1m words that you're a brainlet. Are you making a twine port still?

>>3825804Explains the mental illness and unwillingness to work.
>>3825797>Are you making a twine port still?Yep, UI and macros done, chapter 2 almost done but will be riddled with bugs. The bugtester needs work too.
>>3825810Do jin & rin look broadly the same regardless of race? Are you going to bother with portraits for them?
>>3825822They'll look broadly the same but I won't be doing portraits of them due to the variety that would be needed to have one for every race. Maybe if we get a cheap and good artist for the finale but by then people would have their own idea of what they look like.
>>3825524Yeah
[major happening] zaper has been banned and ex-communicated from CoG for his connections to the Brazilian cartel, when asked for comments zaper said and I qoute "Damn it, I knew giving wang that coke would bite me in the ass, the fucking snitch."
>>3825931I miss him every day, bros. Will we ever get War for the West's cultivation spinoff, War for the East?
>>3825810>UI and macros doneShow it, fag.
>>3825790That's pretty much how I feel. I've played I&II a couple of times now and love them but I always bounce off 3 pretty quick. But that could just be me trying to tackle them as a single game without taking a breather in between.>>3825523This, >>3825791I am biased tho because I have a soft spot for scrappy adventurers that are able to use a little magic rather than being full blown wizards.

>>3825540no you fucking ain'tAC is the only actual WIP from these threads
>>3826276I want to believe in fantasycopper's game, when he gets out of prison it's going to be magnificent. More people should try writing too, choicescript is easy-easy after one sunday of practice.
>>3826276Cybermerc-anon delivered. Just a shame it'll take ten more years for him to finsh his game.
>>3826276unsupervised bros...
>>3826276And the furtive zaper, so easily forgotten
>>3826413I think he predates the threads and unlike our hobby projects he's a 4x published international author

>>3826421Oh, hey zape. Wake of the Wyrm when? And is CoG pushing any titles on you like they did with wang's reluctant vampire game?
someone leak the poma update real quick

>>3826276>>AC is the only actual WIP from these threads>implying that it makes it any specialerr katawa shoujo and yandare simulator both originated here (not /vrpg/ lol) and those games are complete dogshit :pand also, sweetie… what date did war for the west get published on?? or better yet when did highlands, deep waters first get published?? you guys hate to admit it but it’s pretty evident that anon’s discord brought over a bunch of newfags trying hard to fit in lmao :/

>>3826440>VN and whatever the fuck YS tries to be>when we talk about COYAsSure, whatever.
>>3826440Why would that be bad? People who play CYOA come here to talk about CYOA. Only you have a problem with it.
>>3826440>implying that it makes it any specialExcept I wasn't fucking saying that, I was saying that despite all the promises of WIPs on this thread, Auraclash Anon is the only one to have delivered. Muh shota prince? Muh honeypot? Muh merc game? Nothing. It is nothing. And it shall continue to be nothing.
>>3826440Sorry anon, zaper has a discord too so by your obsession he's disqualified.
>>3826456Zaper's game lets you inhale cock so it checks out the only important criterion for him.
>>3825524Wangslop.
>>3826465this reminds me, I like that you can call flit out for giving multidude preferential treatment because they are exes. and yeah its dumb that we have a resident troll that seethes about auraclash nonstop seemingly just because he can't be topped by jack
I tried out SoH and I understand why ojou is so popular. The entire thing is like some harlequin experienced from the pov of the bull.>be a lowborn subhuman hired to escort a bratty young woman to marry some old rich fuck>she bullies you with extra tasks and mean words, whatever>save her life during her wedding, she gets confused why you botheredhelping such a meanie like her>she can't stop thinking about you>she refuses to sleep with her husband, falsely claiming trauma and nightmares >for months lol>in the meantime super fentanyl is being distributed in the city>start investigating the demonic drug, clues point to her husband, ask her for a favor to get you smuggled to his birthday party>she does that, complains only to be tsun to you>blushes hard when you compliment her, jumps to the occasion when you ask her for a dance>first dance at her husband's birthday party>it's an open secret he doesn't get any, even his retarded cousin is aware of that kek>everyone is scandalized at the humiliation>have her help you find the demon, she doesn't even faint like a normal woman and starts chucking wine bottles at it>doesn't help much but at least she is not a dead weight>you kill the demon and get the husband executed>the marriage is annulled but ojou keeps her not-really-husband's whole fortune>she then visits you to fuckThis entire kekworthy plotline turns the MC into a Gigachad and ojou into a Gigastacy, holy shit. That said, the game is cogslop at its essence, though better written than nearly everything else. The mechanics are not very good, though.
>>3825518...
>>3826465Which game?Which RO?
>>3826577>which gameliterally any of them I think. probably not highlands deep waters because thats mostly a mystery game, maybe war for the west- i know you can end up marrying your half-sister so maybe you can do a gay scandal, and unsupervised obviously.>which ROsthe male ROs duh. when was the last time an RO rejected the player in a cyoa with a "I'm straight/gay"? they are always playersexual

I didn't mind everyone being brown because it's about some not!Arabia Silk Road stuff, so it fits and I'm down, but it's around 200k words which orcbro has reconditioned me to think is an update, not a game.

Sorry, anon, I'm not writing it anymore. I've decided to put my effort into an actual passion project, Path Of Unsupervised Samurai Clash Four.

>>3826836We do not talk about Rivia around these parts
>>3826823Daryl's cool, but Michael annoys me.
>>3826837Rizia is better and more interesting than S*rdland.
I wonder which nation you will control in the next suzerain DLC? The first game was pretty capitalist, the second monarchist. I bet the third one will be a hardcore commie nation.
>>3826840Next DLC is Galmland, a commie republic ruled by a woman prime minister.
>>3826840Dictator Island Nation with Tropico vibes
>>3826777Dont know who that is but I remember how years ago I played a cog title that had me become a wizard king fighting an evil empire. After a string of defeats I died so hard from magic overexposure that it turned humanity into a hivemind and stopped the war. Shame I cant remember the name.
>>3826839No way. Rizia is a buggy directionless mess that can't decide whether it's story focused or a sandbox and whether it's grounded or over the top.
>>3826846>buggy directionless messJust like real life...ludo kino...
>>3826790Yeah, you instead posted about the worst fire emblem game. FE9 and 10 effectively killed the series and are directly responsible for pioneering every terrible feature retards attribute to awakening because they've only heard of the series after it came out.
>>3826820>what’s your favorite game that has bros just being bros?Aura ClashNicky's not!Korea simulator seems promising.
>>3825515>>3825710are modern RPGers this retarded? play KODP and whateverFlags sequel if you seriously thought Lone Wolf Book 1-5 were hard. that said, Gray Star is challenging and more or less old skool DnD magery; you're suppose to be a fragile mage who can sometimes blast a hole in a monster or wall.Lone Wolf Magnakai is where the series get real hard. with both instant deaths and hard bosses. OG Kaimaster series was easy except for a few avoidable fights and instant deaths. Grandmaster series was balanced, except for 1 stupidly high Combat Skill Lichlord.
>>3826860trial and error isn't hard
>>3825788>while Sorcery! is kinoSorc has uglier art and less consistent world lore.Lone Wolf is christian CYOA. Praise the sun, satan.
>>3826862you can say that for any CYOA. most CYOAs in fact. the "routes" you can take in Lone Wolf series are mostly logical, unlike the Sorcery series. nevermind the combat system and forced boss fights.... which are also in Sorcery and worse.
>>3826866the goods ones have logical setup for the deaths
>>3826867Play Long Live The Queen.https://www.gog.com/en/game/long_live_the_queenThough you really only find out how and why you die after you beat the game properly over many playthroughs.
>>3826870i did, it was fun
>>3826870>villain challenges you to a duel of magic>form a sword out of magic and cut off his head with itKino
>>3826870I became a tyrant and a Lumen, defeated the evil king with both music and warfare, and I still have no clue who are other romance options outside of horseboy. I remember also someone blond, but it didn't really last.
I really wonder what kind of major malfunction one must have to unironically enjoy the "classic" gamebooks. I could maybe understand Cave of Time and the like with actual branching as a somewhat fun way to spend an evening, even if a single run lasts like 5 pages or so. Gamebooks though? By and large, you trade any meaningful freedom in exchange for a railroad packaged with some primitive mimicry of tabletop mechanics that author wants you to suffer through to get "rewarded" with getting to stay on rails of the world's blandest book as opposed to crashing because lmao you didn't buy that item at start, bet you feel mad now, huh? Then they somehow manage to turn the concept even shittier with that weird obsession with difficulty that made authors fill their shoddy books with pitfalls and trap options and overtuned encounters that end up mathematically impossible even with maxed out stats because the faggot didn't bother to actually playtest what he's churned out.
>>3826959The Glorantha games are good and you won't convince me otherwise.
Recently discovered that Tunnels & Trolls (essentially D&D's first clone) has a whole line of solo gamebooks that use the core mechanics. They are interesting, and much more... Pulp, in the sense that you can clearly see that the writers were influenced far more by Conan and those horny low-budget S&S movies than by fantasy door-stoppers. Despite being pretty short, some also have a fair amount of variety in the scenarios and don't tend to be as sadistic in regards to difficulty as too many of their contemporaries. Worth an evening, I would say.
>>3826820>bros just being bros?Literally Lone Wolf. duh?
>>3826876you can also play music to make him cry?
>>3826959if you want more freedums. play Scorpion Swamp which is boring and lacking a good story. go just fucking go back >>>/tg/
>>3827006Or destroy him in sea. That was my attempt at max cruelty run.
>>3826975>Conan and those horny low-budget S&SSagard the Barbarian gamebooks was very obviously a Conan ripoff with even dumber game mechanics than Fighting Fantasy/Sorcery.
>>3827006Becoming an actual magical girl and healing his heart with the power of music is unironically the best ending. I just think it's funny you can beat him in a magic duel not by being a better lumen but because he never bothered considering that someone might try and fight him using magic as a literal weapon (to be fair, it is pretty complex magic and you need a decent swordsmanship skill to back it up)
I wonder how she'll manage with multiple places and locations for the gameplay loop. Her previous games were mostly focused on one location with occasional sequences where you weren't.
>>3827011>actual magical girli would have sworn gay magical girl friendship with your cousin was best end. but i forgot the details.
>>3827005given how popular Lone Wolf was in UK, i'm surprised there was no gay fanfics for Lone Wolf X Banedon .
Any cyoas where you can have SEX with elven women?
>>3827018well i am still waiting for a good orc porking CYOA...
>>3827014Yeah, if you kill Togami in the duel and know her mother is a Lumen (I think you have to have made her your Lumen minister?) you can give Togami's crystal to her and be magical girls together, it's pretty great too.
>>3827018Fatehaven
>>3827020Orcs are disgusting in every form of media.
>>3826860He said "past book 3". That includes the Magnakai series, which I was referencing.You don't need to advertise how good you are at a CYOA game, anon.
anyone try this
>>3827098Pictures and synopsis make it look like a copy of Zaper-kun's game. Except it looks shittier.
>>3826870I really wished I liked this game, but you really do need to play with a guide if you don't want to randomly die
>>3827018wars of infinty trust the plan
>>3826975Can you post pics of some of the art and writing? They sound interesting.
>>3827181imagine the seething from not-a-powerfantasy faggots
>>3827176Well I cleared my secound attempt after getting killed in the carriage ride the first time for having too low stats.Then I never replayed it because I was playing at a friends place. But it was a fun enough game.
>>3826783no cyoa will ever be able to match the ludo kino of persona 2
>>3827097>don't need to advertise how good you are at a CYOA game, anon.like someone said, it's trial and error. and definitely easier than Sorcery's BS "puzzles" and killzones. and easier than KODP for sure.
>>3827176>you really do need to play with a guide if you don't want to randomly diei mean that's one of the achievements. find all the ways to die. 11 ways to die IIRC.
>>3827273i dunno. all the Mad Max inspired RPGs.and some Mad Max clone gamebooks?
>>3826844Reminds me of Choice of Magics.Probably not the same game though.
>try Shepherds of Haven>you're basically a fantasy ShinsengumiKino
New wanglore
>>3827475these are getting more and more boringthe only interesting information is that it's written to a hussar who wants to join the queen. Loch is confirmed royalist??
>>3827481>implying they weren't boring from the beginningHe is trying too hard, thinking that he can make lore that is not directly referenced in game, like GRRM or Tolkien. But all of it is incredibly bland.
>>3827475>there will be no impalings and no executions without at least summary courts martialT*errans continuing to be the most boring society imaginable
>>3827481>Loch is confirmed royalist??Always has been. There's only one side preparing to field antari and it isn't wulframs.
>>3827483This. It's retarded to write stuff outside of your game, see Mind Blind.
>>3827487>you are in your freshman yearOh yea, I did not even bother with that one. Very few stories can do the student life right, and by synopsis, this one certainly ain't one of those.
>>3827483I liked the ones that elaborate on the events in the books, like the recent one where it talked about the default dragoon types. He should make one after Lords because that's where the archetypes really separate. But yeah, some of the ones about things outside the books are awful. Worldbuilding about history and cultures is really bad. Especially the ones about Antar. Their lore is aggressively bad, what's with that?
>>3827496>Their lore is aggressively bad, what's with that?White people are bad.
>>3827496>Their lore is aggressively bad, what's with that?That's because Wang chose to write not-PLC without knowing jack shit about PLC.Imagine if Nikky named Tang Wei Ching Chong Ping Pong and had him cook dogs in a mercury sauce.
>>3827503>Imagine if Nikky named Tang Wei Ching Chong Ping Pong and had him cook dogs in a mercury sauce.That is a very very very bad example, because for Chinese alchemy, that would actually make sense.
>>3827503>PLCThe People's Lepublic of China?
>>3827507*The People's League of China
>>3827503The worst part is their name. It turns out that "Antari" isn't even a real ethnicity. They're named after the Antar River, where some local nobles formed an alliance. And then suddenly the entire continent of people not only decided to call themselves "Antari," but also renamed their language to match. What level of hack writing is that even??? It's like shitty fanfic he wrote for his own book.
I've been playing SoH. Is it even possible to raise your magic high enough to kill the faceless ones without wasting your words of power on standard difficulty?
>>3827513So just like Rus -> Russia.
>>3827507The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
>>3827513I suppose you are right, they should just call themselves Calligians or something similar, to claim the prestige of the whole continent, not dissimilar to how Germans who larped as Romans or Russians who larped as Byzantine. I was more focused on it being a caricature played straight rather than on how logical it is in the setting.>>3827515Not quite. >The most common theory about the origins of Russians is the Germanic version. The name Rus', like the Proto-Finnic name for Sweden (*roocci),[2] supposed to be descended from an Old Norse term for "the men who row" (rods-) as rowing was the main method of navigating the rivers of Eastern Europe, and that it could be linked to the Swedish coastal area of Roslagen or Roden, as it was known in earlier times.There are plenty of Ruthenian lands, like Kievan, Red, Black or White (Belarus). The word Russia doesn't originate from any river but all these provinces instead.
>>3827506Nta, Wang basically only writes about the Antari without any real flair or substance, since he only knows a bunch of elementary trivia about the PLC and Western Slavs in general. A more accurate comparison would be if Nicky wrote about some generic Chinaman cooking a dog in mercury, but without the autistic Taoist mumbo-jumbo explaining why he did it.
>>3827513There are a shit ton of countries that are literally named after a dude. Georgia for example.
>>3827519>>The most common theory about the origins of Russians is the Germanic version. The name Rus', like the Proto-Finnic name for Sweden (*roocci),[2] supposed to be descended from an Old Norse term for "the men who row" (rods-) as rowing was the main method of navigating the rivers of Eastern Europe, and that it could be linked to the Swedish coastal area of Roslagen or Roden, as it was known in earlier times.I sure wonder what these "men who row" were doing. *Clueless* Most famously, along the Baltic coast and in Slavic lands, they were known for raiding and piracy. >There are plenty of Ruthenian lands, like Kievan, Red, Black or White (Belarus). The word Russia doesn't originate from any river but all these provinces instead.So all these lands in fact were indeed named after a word for a pirate raider.And therefore, the word Russian/Russia is also descended from that.Not to mention, names of Chinese dynasties and states were usually just names of some fuck who kicked out a previous dynasty, just like founder of Ming, Hongwu, was a penniless buddhist monk.There is much you can critique about Antari, but the origin of their name is not one of those. That is actually something that makes sense.
>>3827522That's their exonym derived from what the Persian name their land, Gurgan (land of the wolves). They call their own country Sakartvelo which are named after ancient tribe that used to rule there and likely just mean human in their ancient language.
>>3827520I remember him repeatedly comparing Antar to Russia before Lords released. Then he started comparing elves to all the empires he doesn't like: Russia, US, Japan, the like.
>>3827525Austria means eastern realm. Chinese call China the Middle Kingdom. Bosnia comes from the river Bosna.
>>3827524>So all these lands in fact were indeed named after a word for a pirate raider.At the start, yes. At least according to this theory, but you miss the context.>Varangians establish their proto-countries>Time passes, the word is being incorporated into Latin, the scholarly language of Europe>Proto-countries start to differentiate between one another, adding extra prefixes>The meaning of the old world is being forgotten>Russia arises, decides to take Ruthenian lands, getting rid of the prefixes, forging a claim to be the legal overlord of every RusThere is no reason for the Antari not to claim the old name of Calligia instead. As I said, even Germans did that.
>>3827530>Austria means eastern realmIt actually means Eastern March. Because it was a vanguard of the Frankish Empire against Avars.The Rome was also calling itself "The Bellybutton of the World".>>3827531Except you are wrong again. Because the name Rus was tied to Kievan Rus which at the height of glory did control of these lands. And it was reason why Musocvite Rus, was claiming the title of Overlordship of All Rus.So you just still keep proving that the Antari naming convention is correct.
>>3827534>Except you are wrong again.No u. Rus originates from word Ruthenia, and I already counted Kievan, Red, Black and White before. There are probably more, just no one cares or remembers them because Russia laid claim to them all.
>>3827475Imagine how much time got spent on this that could have been spent on the game.

>>3827526>the empires he doesn't like: RussiaThat Pierdefense shit isn't aging too good, is it?
>>3827536>Rus originates from word RutheniaIt literally doesn't. Word Ruthenia is merely a latinzed version of word Rus. How stupid can you be? And I already explained the origin of word Rus.
>>3827538>>3827519I said that Rus originates from Ruthenia but that is not quite correct; they originate from the same word, possibly rooci.
>>3827540I'll kek really hard if realpolitik ends up with us getting back Alaska.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that the Rurikid claim descent from vikings. And hence Russia is rightful Swedish clay.

Before the 12th century they did imitate the spelling of Byzantine way.
>>3827530Austria was originally the eastern part of Bavaria (they were named after the Boii tribe), the Habsburg basically nurture their slice of land into it own identity it didn't happen instantly just like Wang and Antari. Chinese call themself that not due to geographical reason but more metaphysical because they saw their Empire as the center of civilization. And as for the last part that was the result of ethnic replacment, I believe Slav migrants just asked the native Illyrian the name of the land and just assume it's called Bosnia, literally mean running water, instead of the real name of the land. The exact same things happened with the Romans in Britain with Avon.
>check thread>nothing but history lessons>massive improvement to moralehuh, keep at it
>>3827554>he keeps spreading factually wrong information again, now about AustriaAustria in german is to this day called Österreich. Literally meaning Eastern Realm. Which is derived from their status as an eastern march, in defence against Avars and later slavs. Habsburg never changed the name.And in 1918 and the entire interwar, the Austrians actually struggled with selfidentity, and there were many attempts to engineer a new national identity independent from Habsburgs, while on the other hand there were many who wanted to become part of Germany which eventually resulted in the later prevailing and supporting the Anschluss.
Wang's worst attempts at lore was Mydosi or whatever their name was. Irrelevant and more orientalist than Essos, which is really funny to see from an anticolonial guy.
Wow, they made the same exact game for the third time. Why are the official games so unimaginative? And why do all of these games sound much shittier compared to Empyrean?
What's even the difference between curly and wavy hair? The fuck's kinky hair?
>>3827575Wavy hair is Briget
>>3827574I still don't understand why Marquis decided to base his entire stat system on extremely unstable and jumpy opposing pairs.
>>3827578Kinky hair is Crona
>>3827578no it's not
>>3827580and here is curly hair
Wavy and curly seem to be used interchangeably when it concerns hair, but also they mean specifically black hair type, except when they don't. And kinky typically just means the type of hair you get after crashing face-first into a truck.
>>3827514Yes, but you need to take a background that gives you a boost to magic. Circle-taught mages get a couple extra points over being self-taught that gives you enough to pass the checks.>wasting your words of powerIt does seem like using them to properly kill the Faceless Lords is what they're for, and you do get a couple extra assuming that the number of Faceless is correctly identified. On the other it probably is best to conserve as many as possible since there'll probably be something else you need to use Words for because magic won't be enough.
Best girl in SoH?
>>3827599Ojou-sama and it's not even closeToshie
>>3827514>>3827586I used a word on the first faceless because that also saves the kid its possessing but the next two are easy to kill permanently with just magic. Just train your magic every day off.If you don't care about the kid the first check is really tight but doable if you use magic every chance you have.>>3827599Prihine
>>3827580Crona, by beloved. . Cyoa's where you can weep to your bf's poetry?
>>3827614>I used a word on the first faceless because that also saves the kid its possessing but the next two are easy to kill permanently with just magic.The little girl? Does that ever come up again?If you use magic to deal with the second Faceless you realise that you're not strong enough to destroy in completely, only banish it back to its plane, whereas using a word erases it from existence. Though I don't know if that will have any meaningful difference in the end or if it's just flavour.
Coolest magic specialization?
>>3827634I've only played the first 4 chapters so far, but saving the girl was mentioned offhand once. Probably not worth it.Whether you destroy or banish the second faceless depends on how much damage you do before the final magic/word choice. I fought it in the cellar where burning it with magic, having enough strength to pull off the combo attack with blade/trouble, shoving your weapon in its mouth, etc. will do enough damage that you can destroy it completely with your final magic attack.
>>3827655Any reason to invest in several weapons like sword/bow or is it better to focus on one?
no one wants to share a single doshirak with a sleeper. starving for several cycles is very fun.
>>3827654Diviners or Conjurers, conceptually, especially because you can pick up the demon magic tome if you investigate the cult. I like being a Battle-Mage.>>3827655That makes sense, I used a word during my first playthough and didn't even realise I'd saved her, heh>I fought it in the cellar where burning it with magic, having enough strength to pull off the combo attack with blade/trouble, shoving your weapon in its mouth, etc. will do enough damage that you can destroy it completely with your final magic attack.Ah, I didn't realise you could shove your weapon into its mouth and still try to destroy it with your magic afterwards, I'd done everything else. Thanks.
>find a stabiliser in the white ship>mission goal about finding a stabiliser doesn't updateuuuuuugh
>>3827575It mostly matters for women, but straight/wavy/curly/kinky is just a translation of alphanumeric hair types.
>>3827703Sorry, ladies, but I don't accept anything further along than 2B.
>>3827703all of these women owe me sex
>>38277052C is pure sexo
>>3827703there is no difference between straight and curly up to 2C, this is bullshit
>muh hairgenuinely no fucking point to it anyways, I'm glad wang never wasted time in sabres picking your fucking height and hairstyle and favorite fucking food
>>3827708You make a persuasive argument. Limit extended to 2C.
>>3827539i dun care >>>/int/ go back to kievan rus empire.and make a game about it.
>>3827534>omg germans are french!still don't care. can we go back to talking about orc grapes again?
>>3827503>Imagine if Nikky named Tang Wei Ching Chong Ping Pong and had him cook dogs in a mercury sauce.would kekstart it and ask the producer of Pootie Tang to manage it.
>>3827665>>3827654I'm only 5 chapters in so far but that's been the most disappointing thing: Your choice of weapon, specialization, heritage, education, what type of magic you focus on, none of it seems to matter.All weapons are treated equally. No checks for specific weapons, none that have an advantage over another. Just pick one and raise it.Every magic check is slightly easier if you've focused on the right school of magic, but the generic magic skill will do just fine too. So as long as you're raising any magic skill, you're good for every type of magic.Specialization, education and heritage all only change a tiny bit of flavor text.It's not enough to sour me on the game but definitely disappointing. Not to sound like a shill but I can't help but compare it to something like AC, where what stats you focus on and which style you choose do actually dictate what you can do inside and outside of combat.>>38277033A looks amazing, how are people stopping at 2C?
>>3827738>3A looks amazing, how are people stopping at 2C?/pol/tards are scared of a bit of color. More brown baddies for me.
>>38277383A looks amazing, how are people stopping at 2C?/pol/gods chads hate niggers. trash for cucks
>>3827738Rihanna is just one Michael Jackson treatment away from being indistinguishable from what counts as white in Burgerland.
>>3827710In Hyuga having long hair on a man makes Jun laugh and call you a whore. He also grabs MC by it several times. That's the only example of actual hair reactivity.
>>3827746Wrong, there is Bird Cult.
This little nigga Caine is based beyond belief>wants to become your friend regardless of what his retarded master thinks, says he'll just get another job if he gets disowned and does so>stands up to a 12-foot tall demon with a fucking penknife, all to protect a spoiled noble girl who would treat him like trash if she even bothered to acknowledge his existence>wants to join the Shepherds even though he's only twelve>asks you to help his friend, which leads to you uncovering and destroying an ancient demon>becomes surrogate big brother to a bunch of other kids>feeds Trouble's dog>leads his friends in a child war to defend the honour of the Shepherds>when he does become a Shepherd he takes it seriously and wants to learn how to fight, even asking for extra lessonsI can proudly say he is my nigga
>>3827746>Long hair in aura clash lets you use your hair in the fishing contest >short spiky hair gives AP bonusBut that is all IIRC. Not as relevant as bodytype
>>3827710It’s a core part of women’s fashion autism, like the way they treat their hair isn’t so different from those wacky American Psycho morning routines. Omitting these kinds of things in interactive fiction can filter out female readers who expect cosmetic choices, like hairstyle, even when those choices have no real reactivity in the game.
>>3827755well then you deserve to be filtered. its useless fluff
>>3827761>gets filtered by hair>posts picture with prominent focus on the hairstyleI see, the reason is that (You) are a soulless hylic who can't imagine things just from words and needs a picture for everything. Why are you playing cyos then? Take your advice and leave.
>>3827762>>>posts picture with prominent focus on the hairstylewhat? I just posted it because its funny and I also dislike meandering moege
>>3827764>it is funny>i hate meandering moeThe more you continue, the bigger of a hylic you become.

Riel is the best romance in SoH.A ruthless capitalist, an astute intellectual, and undeniably handsome, he mogs the rest of the cast. :3
>>3827613>spoiler

Chase is the straight man's gay choice.
>>3828021*BladeOr Trouble if you want to actually be able to gayfuck
>>3828021>ChaseHe is the worst faggot. I wanted to slit his throat.
>>3827777Yeah I hated that piece of shit. The fact you couldn't tell him to fuck off made it even worse. Hell, even the dickass bounty hunter fuckup was a more likeable character.I remember really liking the Father and Daughters story line, the street cook was a total bro and the girl that ran the bar was my waifu. It was a shame that once you finished her questline she basically disappears from the game.
>>3828064My personal favourite is Navigator because it didn't lie or try to screw me over. Father and daughter are alright, I suppose, but I genuinely don't get why I need to babysit his child and why he expects me to do so outside of the typical gameline of us doing all kinds of shit for people who turn out to be liars and cheats until they finally decide to do something for us. Bounty hunter just poofed after I've finished Feng's questline. Funnily enough, narrative puts words into MC's mouth, again, about wondering if we were simply a target for him or maybe something more despite me trying to shoot him and leave him to the dogs at every opportunity.
>>3828029>Buff broody dudeNah. Blade is clearly for the barafags. Chase would wear a dress and call himself your girlfriend.
>>3828082are you mistaken blade for trouble?blade is exclusively for straight femoids, while trouble is the one that is bi :p
>>3828099>:pYou're on an imageboard jackass. Use a reaction image or kys.
>>3828082>Chase would wear a dress and call himself your girlfriend.Eh, that fits that fuckboy Red better
A cyoa set in the fate universe
>>3828231so you just want to eliminate any chance of a good game
>>3828236What exactly would make it bad
>>3828231It would be quite fun, especially if you can customize your background fully and based on that also influence which servants you can summon. Of course, there is no way that anyone in CoG or 4chan can write kino on the level of Butcher.
>>3828238fate was already bad enough but fgo has made the setting even worse
>>3828240>fate was already bad enoughYou are simply too much of a normalfag to appreciate such kino. But yes, FGO is shit.
>>3828231Isn't FATE built on CYOA games in the first place?Or are you really that purist as to insist there's some huge divide between this gener of interractive fiction and VNs?
>>3828258I mean, it kinda depends on what you consider cyoa. Fate certainly has routes, but it also has the true routes set.
In SoH you can only romance a single person?
>>3828258Nta, but you can't be a Visual Novel without Visuals
>fate>not tsukihime
>>3828231Get started anon, ChoiceScript is ezpz
>>3828357> >not tsukihimeArcuied my beloved.
>>3828284Shepherd or Samurai?You can fuck around in the former, but some people aren't into manwhores and you're ultimately ending up with only one person according to the author For Samurai, you can manwhore as much as you want since so far your partners are never in the same room as each other, really doubt Junko and Tosh would ever share or Masami with anyone etc
>>3828370>really doubt Junko and Tosh would ever share or Masami with anyone etcThat's why it would be so great.

>>3828466EnglishBut work on a port to another engine while you poach the audience from the forum. There is no reason to publish under these vultures.
>>3828469Zaper and orcgod have published perfectly fine under them.
>>3828469Lena Nguyen sama...How will you grow the number of your paypigs without the finished port though?
>>3828473And they took lion's share of the sales, not to even mention Jason can decide not to publish their another work if he decides they are too chud for his forum.>>3828479Every update your WiP will get some patreons until it can't get any more. That means you reached nearly all your possible audience. Then write a very grandstanding post denouncing Jason for being a parasite, mention how Avery was buttfucked by him, say you won't cooperate with that unethical company ever, bumble around for the next six months pretending you haven't been working on your port, then rerelease your buggy WiP and continue working on it.
>>3828469Anon, it's a Fate game. He can't publish, it can only be a free fan project.
>>3828484>Every update your WiP will get some patreons until it can't get any more. That means you reached nearly all your possible audience.This feels like cope though.
>>3828488How so? These games have no advertisement and players find them mostly through word of mouth or by browsing the forum and looking for active threads. At some point, you reach all the people that would be interested in supporting you there, so you either stay on that plateau or try to find an extra audience in some other place.Only Vampire games breach that hold but that's because they profit from being part of an existing IP.
>>3828486Newfag please, he can publish it perfectly fine. Just do what Fighting Herds and Mare Quest did and slightly change up the terms to different words. Viola, now you can legally sell.your game.
>>3828499https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pym0DJ9VzxUWe were robbed.
>>3828503I surprised nobody tried to finish it after all these years.
having CoG or HG publish your games is perfectly fine, especially if you’re a beginner author or planning a series to write
>>3828508zaper how many peanuts are they paying you to post this. joking aside though most don't ever get to the publishing point and just have forever WIPs that milk patreon. I'd say choicescript is fine if your mainly writing as a hobby, but if your trying to make some dosh don't write a cyoa write a book or fetish smut or something
>>3828512CYOAs make far, far, far more than books. Over 90% of novels make less than $100. Total, not monthly.

>>3828784SoH is the first proper patreon scam.
>>3828784How else are they supposed to get patreon bucks?
>>3828788by writing the game without bricking the game because of "wrong" WIP routes

>>3828824Hacks stealing others works and just renaming the characters, or stealing their storyarchs and jam them into their own "original donut steal" universes isn't uncomon in webpublished fiction.The latter gets really embarrassing when the author eventually has to link all the stolen material together with his own shit writing.

>>3829142Does LitRPG literally just mean that they write down autistic stats that don’t mean anything?If so I really want to know who’s actually paypigging for this garbage.
>>3829150Yes, the writer arbitrarily gives someone stats because he's so bad at writing they need to type "Rhys takes 90 damage from the sword hit, he only has 10 HP now" for anyone to understand what he means.
>>3829152It’s so stupid that I’m still having a hard time believing that it’s real and that people are willing to throw tens of thousands of dollars at it.

Very disappointed by saturnine and the spire game, can anyone recommend me a good medieval fantasy game? I've already played last heir and the one with the ugly portraits.
>>3829274The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante.
>>3829277Played that, it was pretty good and I got some nun pussy.
>>3828961>Arcadiethis is shit, I don't know why you would ever recommend it
>>3826830I finally got around to playing Suz after hearing about it ad nauseum. Really liked it. Is the Rizia DLC worth it? I heard it was good but not good like the original game good.
>>3829287I like Rizia more than Sordland.
>>3829288Traitor to all Sords! A MORGNA WES CORE!!!Yeah sweet I might pick it up then.
>>3829287I enjoyed it more than Sordland, too. It's definitely worth playing if you enjoyed the original game.
>>3829289I love Rizia more because it feels more personal since you're the king and you have way more interest in seeing the country and prosper than a president that can be gone in 4 years.
Everybody knows that being a King is infinitely more based than being a President.
>>3829298Romus is also a character unlike Anton who is a plot device.
>"Tian Fang's quest is next?">"Excellent."
>>3829142Damn, maybe it ain't such a bad idea at all to press further with my isekaislop.
>>38292974-8 years with meaningful changes can change more than 60 years of monarchy.Changing the constitution is one of my favorite achievements
>>3829384Romus has even more power and can change Rizia even more (a country even more conservative and inflexible than Sordland). You can't compare changing the Constitution to Rizia becoming a Theocracy for an example.

>>3830014Who cares, it was shit?
>>3829934I thought there will be a new western boom after RDR2 like ASOIAF/GoT with medieval fantasy. I guess it's nowhere big enough to influence things.
Would you your granny's shriveled head?
>>3830069I now remember the first episode of Mushishi
>>3829817I love all versions of that song. They are all kino. It is a shame that modern music is so soulless to produce something on that level.
>>3830227> modern music is so soullessYou seriously can't be saying this and also be talking about the Offspring.
>>3830281I can and I will.
>>3830285I mean sure but I'm not gonna take you seriously lol
>>3830291You simply are soulless, it is a certified AMV classic.
I love weezer

>>3830398>song directly followed by the world has turned and left me herekino storytelling
>>3830399I think that "story" is fuckin' stupid, the guy in that song clearly broke up with the girl himself, as opposed to the later one.
>>3830401>guy gasses himself up thinking about how he can do better and should break up with his girlfriend>they break up and he immediately regrets itmany such cases
I'm thinking about writing a hunter the reckoning (the old one) story because I think hunter-net was cool and imbued are interesting, what are the things I should look out for that are outdated with modern WoD if most of my information comes from the old hunter books? I know one of the middle eastern clans changed its name but thats about it
>>3830453Hunters don't have powers and there is no such thing as imbued, so start with that. Also the government isn't vampires anymore the government is hunters now, somehow.
>>3830453Honestly just write a fan game instead of a commercial one so it can be good. Make an unrelated patreon offering AI generated pics of canned corn, one per month, and I will subscribe to that. Sorry paradox it has nothing to do with his fan work.
>>3830461>>3830458it would be a free fan game eitherway, and I would like to use old reckoning as a base and set the game sometime in the late 90s early 00s with a focus on uncovering some nefarious vamp or some other monster plot and trying not to die/go too crazy in the process
>>3830463and also use hunter net because its COOL and I enjoyed reading all the digital cat-fights in the books from different hunters arguing about their theories on the origins of monsters and the purpose of it all and having reoccurring forum residents with their own personalities
>>3830465>be nosferatu>find hunter net>infiltrate>shitpost for years>low key agree with them>filthy fucking Biters ruining things for the rest of us>kill a rival nos they were after because they were going down retatded misinformation holes and would never find him>login to brag to my favorite shitposter>he never logs in again
>>3830470>>infiltrate "shouldn't" be possible because the messengers tried to put some magic bullshit defenses up to protect it, it still got breached at least twice lol
no games
>>3830661Zaper-sama... onegai...
>>3830465Still sad that doxxing the vampire to the hunter corp as a desperation move results in essentially nothing for it. It's modern times, where are callout docs and feeding reports to government agents?
>>3830661time to replay infinity again as a charismatic aetorian with a set of books
>>3830709Cha builds are the most boring ones. They get most stuff handed to them on a silver platter.
>>3830784just like real life

Renard will form his own revolutionary third faction and beat the retardation out of isobel and wulfram trust the plan
>choices matter
>>3831148nobody ever said this.
What would you like to see in a potential hunter game? Personally i want the option to hunt alone or to just not have so many friendly characters that ruin the larp, also more actual hunts and stuff like planning out an attack. The coolest part of Glenkincove was soloing that one vampire at the end.Also do the humans in WOD have vampire and werewolf media like in our world? I dont remember any of the two hunter games mentioning or comparing WOD with pop culture.
>>3831251>also more actual hunts and stuff like planning out an attackThat with a sprinkle of schizokino. If you want to go the extra mile, several origins/backstories for us would be cool to have. I would be especially partial to playing a sorcerer or an escaped ghoul.>Also do the humans in WOD have vampire and werewolf media like in our world?Yes, that's part of why thinbloods are so fucked. Their sires abandon them without explaining anything, so they rely on pop culture for information about their unlife. A large part of it is obviously wrong. Proper vampires also use it to muddle the water so hunters look even more unhinged than they are.
>>3831251What I love about Hunter is how it’s all about throwing yourself at insane odds. Only played Hunter the ttrpg twice. First dude I rolled was a 60 year-old engineer with sclerosis, wife was a nurse who got killed at work by some crackhead. Turns out the guy was actually a thinblood. So my boomer went full Ted Kaczynski, started bombing vamps left and right. Ended up dying at home when the local prince sent his scourge to clean thigns up, but not before blowing himself up with half the hit squad.
>>3831251>meticulous preparations for hunts, like how witchers alchemically prepare bombs, oils, enhancing potions and draw up on their book knowledge of the monster for strategies>monsters as not just contract money but as prey worth harvesting for material that can be used in weapons or alchemy>none of that trite, overdone, faggy "we're the real monsters" shit
>>3831251Holy Punisher Mode. Not like an all powerful paladin, but being able to go full 1100s Crusade on their ass, quoting some Pulp Fiction bible verses as I set the match to 186 portable gas tanks I've slowly smuggled into their night club's basement. What makes a Hunter good is they hate vampires more than a regular human could possibly understand.
>>3830957>retarded son of peak retard>beating retardation out of anyone
Ok fine theres no games ill play war for the west again
>>3831370Nice try, Zaper! Go buy some crack and get back to writing.
>>3831271we are though
>>3831251I would like to see moral conflicts and the cell you form arguing over what the right thing to do is. I think there should definitely be some clear cut bad vamps/monsters you can take out without feelings bad about, but also some stuff that muddies the water a bit and can weigh on your conscious, stuff like killing a vamp and finding a kid he's/she recently just recently turned in their basement and having to decide what to do next is compelling to me.
>>3831274I trained the retardation out of him trust
>>3831399I would like to see the Duke Nukem option to tell people like this to blow it out their ass.
>>3831419duke nukem is an action movie spoof not a horror movie spoof. you could atleast pick caleb from blood anon
>>3831423Vampire is more of a horror movie than Hunter. Hunter is Doom Guy with less equipment, garbage stats, and schizophrenia.
>>3831433>doom guy99% of hunters die a horrendous death. most hunters are everyday people that had the masquerade break and dealing with the ramifications of that, not doomsday preppers with 20 guns and a grenade ready to go out in a glorius jihad
>>3831451>99% of hunters die a horrendous death.Yes, you agree with me>most hunters are everyday peoplegarbage stats>that had the masquerade break and dealing with the ramifications of thatschizophrenia>not doomsday preppers with 20 guns and a grenade ready to go out in a glorius jihadless equipmentWe are explaining the exact same scenario, the only difference is mindset when facing it.
On the off-chance cultivator-anon sees this, the two crests of elemental yin/yang are bugged when you wear them. If you take one off, you lose 2 health (if yang) or chi (if yin). Putting them back on only restores 1, meaning you can go down to 1 in both/either.

>>3832385The initial expected release date was set for halloween which means it will be out by christmas at the earliest.
Will there be an option in Wars to use the bane to change your gender and become a tranny?
>>3831969Honestly, I'm befuddled how you managed to get a general running at all. There is maybe one ""real"" text-based game a year, while all the choicescript trash is in the permanent state of WIP noncompletion. In the best traditions of non-professional development, nothing surprising there. But evidently it's not even worth shitposting about, if this thread is any indication.Is waifufaggotry that strong? Are there enough schizos to bump the topic for weeks? Do you just cling to the thread because the genre is so stupidly niche that you refuse to let it die for good?>t.ourist who really likes sorcery
>>3832436>There is maybe one ""real"" text-based game a year, while all the choicescript trash is in the permanent state of WIP noncompletion.translate more nippon only VNs
>>3832436The oldest thread on the board is more than 200 days old, it's not like we're competing with anyone. WIPs get plenty of discussion.
>>3832436>Do you just cling to the thread because the genre is so stupidly niche that you refuse to let it die for good?That's probably the closest. These threads blew up shortly before Lords of Infinity was officially out, but essentially it was complete. It's an autistic game with an autistic fanbase, so as you could expect, some of /vrpg/ anons were already into that or were potential audience. At the same time, the forum was unusable due to gigafaggots shitting up the discussion with their brownoid angst, so people were more than happy to talk here instead.That carried the first several months, together with Fallen Hero. Every now and then some other game got a bit of discussion. I remember the threads slowing hard at the time of Wayhaven 3 because it was so shit that not even the fans talked about it. Finally, cultivator anon emerged and essentially claimed this place for himself due to a lack of competition.
>>3832436We shitpost a bit but it's also a development thread. A few anons occasionally try their hand at making a game. So far only Aura Clash has made progress but the company banned it for not being gay. Cybermerc anon has some promising progress but I think the guy that was supposes to write the fantasy beatcop game, with a hot female drow partner detective/ex, went to jail again.>>3832433Yes it's called the Bane of Society.
>>3832455>the guy that was supposed to write the fantasy beatcop game went to jail againWhy doesn't he just stop selling crack? Is it that hard?
>>3832440Fuck nips, they don't even bother with routes anymore, and even when they do it only ever extends to waifu selection.>>3832452>>3832455Sounds like easy pickings for attention-whoring. It's prime time to announce my quadrillion-words-long 33 volume epic about a nondescript brooding dude and 3 hanger-on babes that cater to very stereotypical tastes. All I need is a meager advance of 55000₪ as well as ebin maymays made in my name, and I assure you that the whole thing will come out in 3 months-centuries.I am actually tinkering with a custom scripting language, because all the existing stuff is too writefag-centric for my autistic tastes.
>>3832473>I am actually tinkering with a custom scripting language, because all the existing stuff is too writefag-centric for my autistic tastes.I, for one, await the day when choicescript is dethroned.
>>3832476Twine has been around for longer, and has all of html behind it. Inkle, the ones who made Sorcery, open-sourced their tool as well. RenPy is also no slouch, being python. Anybody making a proper game worth selling will just come up with an ad-hoc system.I assume it's just the pre-established CoG name and niche that is "the appeal" of the language. Maybe duckling syndrome?
>>3832489Twine isn't brainlet-enabling enough for most CS writers. Setting up 4 radko buttons and a continue buttion in twine requires custom labels, classes, opening and closing tags for every choice, a big continue button with a run.engine call and closing tag, if or case statements attached to the variable set by the choice. Choicescript does all that with *choice, one # per option, and some tabs. Twine can make the same game but not fluidly, writing 1m words and stopping for all that code so often is a serious blocker. That may be fixed soon.
learn to code faggots it's easer than writing and saves you from relying on tranny crutch languages
>>3832444And that's usually the case cause they do bump every week or so just so it won't die
>>3832561But coding is so fucking boring
>>3832561It's also that CoG has an active WIP community of roughly 100,000 visitors and ~4k semi-active members. Procuring that kind of community takes years. At the moment nobody else would ever care about an unfinished text based game, while these guys have thousands of people paying monthly to support their favorites across dozens of games.
>>3832614And they also have shit taste, which is a trait that's always welcome in your fanbase.
>>3832619Alright that was a good one
Anybody have a free download link to An Unexpectedly Green Journey? I've been looking around the usual sites but can't find anything.

>>38326641.0 version is on com, but it hasn't been updated in a year.
It really feels like the world has passed me by.Yes, even if the next screen says 'play with no romantic subplots if you want', it just makes me feel I am about to enter a retarded world
https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/below-the-skyline-a-quiet-hong-kong-boxing-story-updated-21-june-2025-wip-63k-words/167530As a person who uses AI for editorial purposes, I can guarantee this shit is Deepseek's work. Like >You won a lukewarm Vita lemon tea and a glutinous rice dumpling in a thin plastic bag.Inserting unnecessary product mentions, and non-sensical descriptors like "glutinous" is a dead give away.Also>You hear of a man who threw a fireball, the air distorting as it hit. The spectators barely blinked.I remember ai just straight up writing shit like this for me. It's so bad, but the motherfucker straight up used this for his work.
>>3832945Say it on the forums then.
There is NOTHING wrong with AI writing. You do the fun parts (coding) by yourself and leave the boring shit (writing) to the machine.
Zaper?I hardly know 'er!
>>3825510Sorcery! was too good presentation wise that it ruined the genre for me. Now I can't play the ones that are just black text on a white background.

I know we give shit to Nicky for making you a jobber, and rightfully so, but AC has the opposite problem where every other character feels like a total joke.
>>3833424Cult anon is leaning heavily on Shounen troupes, but did let us loose a fight again this update.Then again you win almost every fight in PoMA as well, it’s just that the ”monstrous martial artist demons who can step on you like a fly”, kind of people feel more present in PoMA than they do in AC.At least up until now.
>>3833424The MC is exceptionally lucky and this white tiger shit has definitely something to do with how strong the top 5 are.
>>3833424Quite a few fights in AC are won because you are in a gate and/or have help.The game makes it clear when you punch above your weight and under what circumstances.>>3833444Yeah, masters do not get involved near as much in your affairs since the main affair is for youngsters. You get a couple reminders with archons and Mao mostly.
Recently started playing Nightroads and I forgot how much I missed Marquis' writing. Compared to the last couple things I've read this has been gold with a decent amount of player input.Also picrelMommy. .
>>3833474>Mommy. .In saying that I also wouldn't say no to the big tiddy skull faced Sewer Rat.
>>3833474I don't remember, what clan was she?
>>3833477TremereYeah, I shilled for the dlc.
>>3833479>tremereSigh, guess I'll player Night Road again. Lasombra is the best DLC clan and the best clan in general.
Is there anything better than being a Ventrue lite who tries to claw his way to relevancy and finishing the last encounter with "Drop it"?
julian was the best RO in night road and a complete bro at thatfight me
>>3833483>gay twink>vampire>romance>when they can't feel sexual arousaltrannies get the rope
>>3833483He was the most annoying part of the game. Thankfully, his visits are a small part of the game even if there is a forced connection
>>3833483He is a cute.But I get the feeling he's also going to be an absolute utter fuckup that thinks the best way to the top is by dicking over as many people as possible all the while being the embody of the 'I'm a genius! Oh no!' meme.>>3833481Do the different clans effect much? I assume Nosies do because being a nosie would have to change some things up, right?If they do make a difference I'll have to play a second time as a Giovanni. Second favourite clan after Tremere.>>3833482Being a caitiff or thinblood trying to pass yourself off as a Ventrue?Honestly might have to flesh out this character idea.
You can get as a gen 7 in Night Road if I remember right? You can diablerize twice right?
>>3832473>only ever extends to waifu selection.that is best part
>>3831911She looks like a retarded bitch. Would bang
>>3833563You can. In the actual game she's from.
>>3833567I will not play as a woman.
>>3833571So you really don't know?
Two more weeks!
>>3833611Which one is missing their deadline this time?
>>3833611Honeypot-sama-chama...
>>3833485>>when they can't feel sexual arousalhuh?
>>3833645Jeanette is literally insane. It's canon to the lore that kindred rarely engage in sex because sucking blood feels even better than an orgasm.
I like making my min-maxed hero dragoon with all the decorations have imposter syndrome
>>3833567would command grab
>>3833650This, except mine delights in the suffering and death of others.
I'm replaying night road again and i noticed no one really cares if youre caitiff or not. Like, what's the point of introducing them if doesn't really matters? Same shit with the Nosferatu desu.
>>3833697Right? Like, you can be an Assamite and you're still the exact same as if you were anything else.I do like the Nosferatu girl, though.

>>3833732AC's MC is a luckGOD and JDFchad (canon) so this shit doesn't matter. Poma's MC should also be WAAAAAAAAAAY stronger than he is currently since he literally possesses the strongest physique in the universe.
>>3833697To be fair, 5th editions also changed how vampires feel about Caitiff in general (no more precursors of Gehenna and shit among other things)
>>3833732>Wu Fraud>supposed to be a reincarnation of a god>Thunderfaller>literally just a fucking peasant scrambling for every bit of power you come acrossit's called being scrappy and cunning when you use luck and convenient power ups while being a shitter.

>>3833782No reason not to. Especially when nicky is dropping ANOTHER combat rework soon with another stat while also removing skill perks. Even though last combat rework added them.
>>3833786God I want to like POMA so bad but it keeps not giving me the cool stuff. Let me build my Clan. If that's dead at least let me build a faction within the Sect to eventually branch off as my own. I know they keep saying that you can't take anyone with you, but you it's also confirmed you DON'T play any of the upper-realm content. All you get is this world. So let me do cool and fun stuff in this world.
>>38337775th edition was a mistakeThe only remotely interesting thing they did was the Call having a lot of the Elders fuck off to the Middle East but even that was handled poorly.>>3833700That's a shame. I was hoping there would be more interactivity when the Nossie started throwing derogatory slang at my Tremere.She is a cute.
>>3833697You get different opportunities to meet your Sire (Lumbago for Gangrels, Invidia for Tremeres, Julian for Assamites) and ice them in some cases, but Caitiff doesn't get even that. I vaguely remember that Nosferatu gets Lettow's enforcer as both a sire and a romance option.
>femc abuse incest edition got updated>the prince guy fucks the Femc>the creepy uncle gets as close as he possibly can to fucking her without actually fucking her>the biological father fingers her I wonder if it will be taken off of cogdemos when it gets to the actual full penetration incest.
>>3833733>JDFchad (canon)More like headcanon.
>>3834003Neato, time to see how much more fucked up the Uncle isAlso the prince is your cousin so technically that means its already done the full incest
I really thought the dad was going to let the stepdad rape me ngl
>>3834003It would get taken off if it was male mc and you did the raping
>>3834059(You) doing the raping is the key thing there, chief
>>3834059I think the reason so many games get away with the whole MC being abused/raped thing is that CoG allows this type of content if you can argue it's transformative and artistic or something like that.>Trust me mr cogadmin-kun the MC getting raped by her father, uncle and cousin is purely for plot development reasons and is not fetishistic in any way.>No I'm not getting of to this, why would you ask that?also how different is new Rhivenia compared to the old one, the drouth is hitting me hard and im thinking of playing it
>>3834003Give me a name brother
>>3834091It follows a lot of the old plot beats Older brother gets most of the attention and love as a little kid, King and his kids go hunting, you visit this one cold Northern Duke expy and his slutty sister, dad gets poisoned and dies etc. but it's greatly expanded on and you don't get casually bullied by people anymore which makes it feel much better than the original.You're also always chosen as the King now, and the story after that is supposed to be very different so there's that.
The game doesn't get slapped down because the author isn't selling it and is just making a short free smutty work on the platform.
>>3834091>he thinks that CYOAs are not fetish fuel by default>he thinks that human society is free of fetish fuelTODAY I WILL REMIND THEM
>>3834003I checked it out with the intention of shitposting about it. The height of irony is that the writing is better than 99% of cogslop and the author at least seems to know something about middle ages, despite only using the setting to have our preacious bean be a helpless woman who can't say no to anyone. Sword of Rhivenia should take notes.It's also a decent study on what kind of smut women like. Protip, it's not about girlbosses girlbossing beta cucks.
>>3834098>The game doesn't get slapped down because the author isn't selling itAmazing that you’re the only one who managed to point this out

>>3834087Yes how horrid
>>3834224>The height of irony is that the writing is better than 99% of cogslopThe fact that the author knows what kind of story they want to tell, and just laser focuses on telling it with a clear ending planned compared to the endless filler you see in a lot of new cog and especially twine shit, has my respect>The game currently stands at 43k words, and is about 75% done.

>>3835341>what are paid advances and royaltiesCoG is literally better than most publishing companies and are generous with their authors, something both wang and zaper could attest to, you guys are just bitter tards
>>3835354rent free
>>3835355post nose
>>3835355>>what are paid advancesLMAO! They don't apply to Hosted, these are pennies and are subtracted from your future sales. Go back to your gay forum.>and royaltiesThe company offers to pay you royalties for making the whole book? Unheard of!
>>3835355>CoG is literally better than most publishing companiesthat's a bar most people couldn't crawl under
>>3835355>advancesDo you know why they call it that?
>>3835355>>what are paid advances and royaltiesStill only 13%. They don't pay you a dime until your cut of the sales have made up for the advance. That's why it's called an advance and not a bonus, it's a payment in advance, and you don't need to be paid again until after you've earned more than the advance.>and royaltiesThat's the 13%.
lmao @ the butter chuds jealous at CoG’s dominance, fact is they’re more generous and that is the reason why they’re attracting new authors and retaining the ones they have, stay mad
>>3835384>jealousUh...anon, we're the customers, not competitors.
>For Mordreds romancing the Dragon Friend tho, they'll have to adopt or get a donor because humans and dragons can't reproduce.The BoC author is a coward!
>>3835384>butteratleast try to be coherent in your shitposts
>>3835424The second someone talked about cog's greedy practices they came out of the woodwork.
>>3835424Exactly what he said, AC fans
wow, cia made people jerk off telepathically. the only game that had more innovative sex scenes compared to most text games was the exact same itch one that I can't remember the name of.
>>3835487The CIA ARE MAKING PEOPLE JERK OFF?!?
>>3835457Stop talking about yourself in third person, fliptranny.
>>3835225#1 that's not true#2 Even if it were true (it's not), in what way is running a website at all comparable to printing and distributing physical copies of a book?There's a reason Steam charges so little, and absolutely no reason CoG should charge more.
AC update when? I need to fix my demon girl's meridians so she can throttle Jack again, this time to death.
So how is the meguca game? Is it Precure kino or is it more CoG liberal revisionism?
>>3835700Anon said that he plans to churn out the next update on Halloween. It will be focused on side content, mostly companion quests.
>>3835709He will port the full game to twine first, I don't think Halloween release is happening.
>>3835705it's a sailormoon fanficnot great not terrible
>>3835713Guess, I will give it a try then
>>3835705decent mechanics, generally well written, fun fights and almost no legbut brainrot that's to be expected from a mainline gameone of the better ones relesed this year, but thats not saying much considering it's competition, the twist was fun tooTOTAL NIGHTMARE DEATH
>>3835700>>3835709Doubled down on the port instead and it's been going faster since I only have to think in one language. Converted chapter 3 in 3 days.
>>3835734bet chapter 7 will hit you like a brick wall
>>3835734>Converted chapter 3 in 3 days.Good job. Are you adding the cut content for early chapters as well or do you intend to leave it for some nebulous future?
>>3835740What hit me like a brick wall is that returning from the menu breaks Switch+Case displays, something I use 300 times in chapter 1 and half of 2. Fighting that requires time with my home laptop which is rare. But yes, Nanhou is going to give me an aneurysm.>>3835741I didn't intend to but some smaller stuff got in. Spending a month to increase skills now gives a little flavor text in chapter 3 and choosing perception gives some cash since I couldn't justify that flavor text not being a real job after I wrote it.
>twine port is going to fix random number rerolling by opening and closing stat menu
>>3835758Refreshing usually works with twine rng
>>3835758Rng is lame unless you go full D&D anyway
>>3835713>its a sailor moon fanficso it has lesbians I mean totally normal cousins?
>>3835821The ROs are gender selectable
>the totally-different-anon-le-both-sides-are-le-bad also mysteriously disappeared>>3835705It will be easier to judge if you drop a name.
>>3835838cultivator is gone tooi’m nooticing
>>3835838star crystal warrior go
>>3835824>male magical girlscursed
>>3835844Oh, it's straight up a game that released.I'll try it later.
>>3835842>cultivator is gone too>posted 3 horus ago?
fucking based!CoG's GOTY
>>3835862>>posted 3 horus agono >>3835826
>>3835868Of course.
I see we have returned to out regularly scheduled programming.
>>3835873don't pirate the game chud! support our struggling authors
>>3835868dead mom 100%. you aren't the protagonist if you don't have atleast one dead parent
>>3835842It's true, I am dead. In seriousness I think they just delete anything off topic, so to repost the only on-topic part: I'm focusing on the twine port instead of splitting my focus, aiming to finish chapter 7 by halloween and add desdemona's quest. The new system won't break saves every update too so I can finally do smaller faster updates.>>3835724I'm surprised, I didn't expect to hear good fight scenes and mechanics from this genre. Not my cup of tea but I might give it a try.
>>3835909the mechanics arent anything new and earthshattering, its just regular stat checks (that are usually very easy to figure out unlike in other cog games where you dont know which stat is tested)the cool thing is that they have multiple uses with creactivity having options in dream world combat allowing you to manipulate the dream as a cooler version of the magic skillanother thing I like is how the author only introduces a couple of plot relevant characters allowing you to shine as a protagonist, rather than subjecting you to a stream of OCs youre forced to interact with (unlike the spire game and the superman clone)>>3835846>>3835824best friend and the new kid are female while the bad guy and the animal companion are maleshould have been an option to romance the animal friend if you turned him human at the end
>>3835921Yeah, Polaris mogs the rest of the cast hard. You should be able to romance her EVEN if she doesn't turn human, Luna got away with why can't she.
>>3835909>won't break savesI'll still be replaying from scratch every patch because I want to, don't be afraid to brick saves as long as you don't start remaking combat regularly.
>>3835758Reloading usually work in twine, assuming cultivator-anon will implement save and load. Still bugged me how CoG never bother to include it for decades, and they argue against it on game design ideological ground from what I know.
>>3835939September PoMA update: Added mystical pet followers with their own stats, bricks savesOctober PoMA update: Removed Pet stats, now different pets add a different bonus, bricks savesDecember PoMA update: Removed pets, bricks saves
>>3835958Don't give Nicky ideas.
>>3835973This is basically how perk system was introduced, reworked and how it's getting removed next month.
>>3835758Yeah, it sucks. Always liked using it to clean out the casino.I don't use it to cycle or anything. In fact, I actively refues to cycle. I just buy stuff with it.
>>3835868Should have the option of both mom and bf/gf dying.
>>3835713>Sailor Moon and not MedukaThank god
>>3835713Not Precure? Kind of looked like it on one girl in the promo art.
>>3835838Yeah. I don't know why my post was deleted.
>All Those Withering Lilies is an interactive fiction story inspired by Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Neon Genesis EvangelionAlready off to a horrible start
>>3836080I don't know why westoids are so obsessed with Madoka. Sailor Moon, Aikatsu and Precure are superior and do everything Madoka did way better.
>>3836220Madoka is a trans icon somehow.
>>3836224???I can see a lesbian icon at most.
I'm trying the mahou shoujo game and the only that seems mildly interesting is the evil nightmare RO
Alright, finishing 100 Line left me disappointed because of typical corpo fuckery. Time play the Megucka game, replay Arcadie and I really want to replay Undertale too now.
>>3836080>tfw nobody is ever inspired by the only good magical girl show>lyrical nanoha
CCS and Princess Tutu spoiled me on the magical girl genre. Nothing else even comes close.
As I begin my replay I am once again reminded how authors always make up these "super cool" fantasy metals and trade goods. I will never comprehend why. Like in most of these worlds, just irl materials would be still absolutely valuable. Amber would be sought out valuable trade good in most fantasy worlds.
>>3836377You may want to create a bullshit metal for whatever properties.Mithril, virbanium, wolfunium
>>3836377I think its for macguffin's purposes. If you don't know chemistry you'll need to invent a material that reacts in the way you need it to.
Saturnine had an interesting hook/premise to start with and then did everything in its power to make me lose interest. If part of a CYOA has to suck I'd prefer it to be the other way around.
>>3836377So that later in the story they can reveal that the MC or villain have a magical super weapon that uses that non-existent miracle material, you dumb fuck
