CYOA Thread

Previous thread: Pastebin: pastebin.com/vrqYhnpu

What are you working on, senpai?

Started seriously working on one then got very frustrated with my own shortcomings. Mostly dropped it for now but I'm trying to chip away at it a little bit each day.

Girls Military currently. Got three other cyoas right underneath it; two revamps of old cyoas I done, and the last one oc that's going to be final fantasy like.

Best CYOA

Is that the size/resolution that the final product is going to be posted at? Because the text is very chunky and hard to read.

No man.

>inb4 fool is suicide option

anyone have the CYOA where the stars are starting to burn out?

no no, it was had AI around a blackhole, hardlight construct people, robots, etc.

i think you could even build your own ship...
like spessrefugee and SDA only more grimdark

Any cyoas you can't stop thinking about? Pic related.

No idea what you are talking about then. The only one I can think of with the hardlight shit is traveler.

Since the one I posted literally starts with the line "The final days of existence are upon the Universe" you can see how I might have thought that's what you wanted.

>What choices or perks besides your Persona are there going to be? The fate of the world probably won't be decided by a potato chip-eating contest.
You'll have companions to choose from to help you fight against the shadows. The conceit is that not all of them are on your side, so you have to figure out what they're hiding based on their own personas.

meh have a cyoa

yeah I have that one. Is that the same guy who did ? There's another one that takes place I think after the Chernovy have all left to do their elder god shit, but the universe still hasn't quite ended.

I had a fun time indulging harem fantasies with magical realm

Just warning you, it'll turn out like either Quiet CYOA (Several threads of discussion, speculation, and puzzling with some naysayers) and Mystery Box Waifu CYOA #87 (complete shitstorm, unsalvageable wreck)

Slut life as usual. Still tweaking a build for it.

With Hourglass I can be whatever age I want to be, but it's probably beneficial for my new ID to say I'm a full adult. I'll probably always look younger than I am given my petite figure.

Aside from appearance, I pretty much just "perfect" my body and my sexual performance without getting into any fetish stuff. With infertile, flexible holes and hyper immune system I should be safe no matter what I do, and with sensitive body and cum connoisseur I'll be sure to enjoy it.

I always consider taking Masochist just so I don't have to suffer from things, but that's likely to get me more injured than repairbots can handle.

Maxed out house. Since I'm an android who needs neither food nor sleep nor hygiene most of the house isn't actually necessary to me, but I figured I'd want to have it for either recreational purposes or entertaining guests.

AI waifu. She can use the sexbot, my computer, the tentacles, or even interface directly with my android brain. Fun times, but I got to be careful how I design her. I'm going to need someone I trust with things even more than myself.

Don't really care much about what I wear on the show, and I can't really leave the house till it's over, so I basically just get free points from that section.

The incest siblings get to be roommates, because where's the fun if we aren't close? Boy and a girl, the boy looks like I would have if I had opted to improve my original body (so overall the same but more attractive), the Girl looks like my identical twin now.

Drugs are risky, forced sensitivity boost to the max could very well overwhelm me, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Hopefully my android brain can handle it, and maybe my AI (who can interface directly with my brain AND has control over the devices) can help mitigate things one way or the other. Technically she could even override one of my owners controls on my punishments. I honestly don't trust myself with the controls, I'd probably end up turning myself into a vegetable.

Planning to have the AI assist with webcam shows too. I'd like to go on the slut life equivalent of twitch and auction off who gets to play me to the audience. Winner gets 5 minutes control over my stimulation device/implant functions through my AI. If I win I don't necessarily have to do anything with them, but it's about the only time I would get any direct control myself.

Punishments are basically full-body forced stimulation, sometimes at random but usually at my owner's or AI's control, along with edging and denial until someone lets me cum. I was going to go with the mechanical underwear, but I wasn't sure I'd get any access to my holes to do things the old fashioned way.

Extended time barely matters. I could almost go with "you're here forever" since when I'm done with the show I doubt much of anything is going to change. I'm going to be completely hooked on my owners, especially the demons. I get money all along from the work so about the only thing that changes is I get to go >outside, but I would like to have options eventually.

I've posted my shapeshifter build enough that you can find it on Reddit if you're curious.

Can anyone post some "stuck in a room for 5/10 years, use these points" CYOAS? I don't see them often anymore and they were pretty fun

The only one I have because it's probably the least shitty.

These things are basically the concept that eventually evolved (through sissy life) into slut life.

Do you know what the Od manipulation in the Sufficiently Advanced Tech section is?

I've narrowed it down to two possible systems: One from a book of that name (It seems similar to Tamora Pierce's, but I'm not sure), and the name of the personal mana pool from the Fate series.
Given the other choices, I've been assuming it's the latter, but Greylore hasn't said one way or the other.

So what would it do?

Way I understand it is "Whatever you've practiced to do".
If you develop magic circuits for a time stop spell, you can stop time - but you can't disassemble that spell to shoot fireballs, you'd need to cultivate new circuits for that spell separately.

There's a lot more stuff that has to deal with hereditary abilities and heroic spirits, but I don't know much about those.

Post more cyoas.

...

Well know I'm even more confused. What're magic circuits?
Also is there anyway to get bonus points?

...

Magic circuits are basically some part of you that lets you use mana to cast a spell.
I don't really know much about this stuff, so you should probably just look it up on your own.

Here you go

We need more yanderes like Carmen.

Moo moo motherfucker.

Mandatory Injection is a prerequisite to Permanence, you also have to select it for EACH drug you want to make permanent. If you do all 4 there, that means you get +160 points instead of the +20 you took.

The author has also stated you can go ahead and ignore the line about choosing only one between high concentration and permanence, I know you want it.

healing magic, space, and golemancy. I thank the birdician, eat my snack, and crash for the night. Travel across the globe with space magic, heal everybody I come across, all the while surrounding myself with kickass golems. Living the dream.

Fun challenge: Play this CYOA as if you become one of the yandere types, and your waifu/husbando is also a yandere type.
Yes, you can both be the same type.

Out of curiosity, does The Best You Ever Had work with porn (i.e. catch your love masturbating to something other than you, become more like whatever they masturbated to)?

Symbiote CYOA. I've got it all written out and all the images picked, but I just need to start putting it together.

>present allies: Polly & Sheila
Polly for combat, Sheila because she's literally trying to solve the same conspiracy I am.
>present bosses: Starr & Miriam
one is shady, the other has gun, makes good enough bad guys I guess

>Myth ally: Urd
dryad waifu, not to mention dem tits. Hopefully them being asleep in any unnatural setting won't screw me over.
>Myth boss: Yami (Will recruit after)
it outright says she's made of evil, but that she's also only looking for love. So we'd beat her, but then feel sorry for her and try to purify her / make her not evil?

>Feudal ally: Bic
magic trix, sharp tongue. Willingness to blackmail isn't good, but oh well.
>Feudal boss: Lyubitchka
fuck spelling her name, she's a con artist too

>Colonial ally: Carnelian
leader of a sex tourism hotspot? count me in
>Colonial boss: Smoothchin
pirates are bad mmk, even if she was a kidnapped innocent to start

>Future ally: Ramani
poor girl was gonna get trashed, can't have that. plus she's upgradable
>Future boss: O.P.P.A.I.
None of the future options seem like good boss material, but I guess the outdated technology could have evil motivations after being left to the wayside?

>Order: Present, Future, Feudal, Colonial, Myth
order doesn't really matter, but myth should be last because of boss recruitment.

all in all good CYOA that has no obvious villain / good guy choices for each era, with either no one being downright evil (future / colonial / present) or having mostly morally ambiguous characters (myth / feudal).

No, you can't grow a dick.

RIP in peace hot dogs.

black hole tempting but I guess I don't REALLY need to able to spaghettify people at a moment's notice, biri biri's good enough and actually useful.

Let me get this straight:

Tyril wanted the Beverstia who wanted the Asmoridem who just wanted Tyril and Beverstia's friendship?

What kind of tri-cucking is this?

Worshipping sounds fun, as long as I can pick someone who isn't a total cunt.

>Cucking

Have you never heard of a love triangle before? In this particular setup no one is getting any from anyone.

Well, I hate to say it, but it depends on the yandere. Gotta keep in mind some types are self-destructive (Harmless), others are destructive to your lover (Attack, Isolating), others are destructive to anyone who interacts with your lover (Stalker, Eliminating).
So, if you pit two self-destructive together, you're gonna have a bad loop, probably suicide for both of them since neither think they're good enough for the one they love, and don't feel like they can accept a present.
And on the other spectrum, two destructive towards everyone other than their lover can be catastrophic

"Best" combo might be 2x Monopolizing, since they won't hurt anyone else, but their power is wasted since a Monopolizing yandere would never ask their waifu to do anything.
Dependent + Delusional/Harmless is also good - Dependent think you're perfect for each other and believes everything Delusional says.
Worshipping + Attack is a sub/dom relationship; lots of pain, lots of love.

So what's the most human Golem? Balance? Healing? Naturally I'd want to stay away from preggo, a golem made of other pregnant golems is just too weird.

Dependent+Dependent would be best I think.

what is this from?

Railgun.

A Certain Scientific Railgun

Except Slut Life is the (quite extremely literal) biggest perversion of the concept, being about absolute wish fulfillment (for the crowd it panders to) whereas the "locked in a room" ones were once the quintessential "hardcore" CYOAs that made people think hard and cry.

Raildex

Huh really?

Rape Bull needs some rethinking then.

page 2 WIP of Invasion of the Mists

I feel like the skills are not evenly spread, with Thievery and Unarmed being used rarely, not certain of how to fix it but still remain within the spirit of the class.

...

Thievery can be used as general stealth? Go all solid snake.

Why not add hybrid classes that can use those skills? Or an Assassin class that uses the Sneak and Unarmed as a main stat with a minor in Dodge and Thievery?

who made this one?

How strong is antimagic in this setting? Can a master (100) in antimagic cancel out any spell?

I haven't entirely thought of that yet, but I suppose 100 in Antimagic would be able to absorb a spell with a spell of their own, to fire later. However the power of the spell they absorbed would drain their mana more, so a weak spell would barely drain any mana while a master spell would drain a large chunk.

They can also steal summons from other spellcasters at a mana cost, and some other things as well.

How is a mage to stop them?

Clearly it's mana reserve vs mana reserve at that point.

Antimagic spells by nature drain more mana than they absorb.

For example, fireball is 100 mana, for an Antimagic spell to absorb it and redirect it, it would take more, let's say 200. So if you continue to fire spells at them you'll force them to keep absorbing it, but assuming equal mana, they'll tire out before you do.

However if you let them rest up, they'll fire the spells they absorbed back at you. So it's keeping them off balance mainly.

It's not usually meant to be a main form of combat magic, more of a method for spellcasters to fight other spellcasters. Like dueling pistols.

Question about this CYOA I'm making.

So you get your own symbiote and have certain abilities blah blah blah, but you'll also have companions. This takes place in a super hero world, so some of them have powers. What powers should it be? I was originally just going to let you pick your companion's powers, as long as you don't go overboard or anything.

So should I keep it like that or give them a generic superpower without letting you choose?

Generic flying brick, elemental powers, witch, random animal-themed hero, sneaky detective, gruff murderer, another space alien

Oh boy, this is my fetish. Godspeed, user!

I think companions with preset skills feel more genuine than those we have to design.

Keep it up Persona cyoa bro, lots of potential there and it's looking good so far!

Sure, no one dies, but you also don't get dat dere increase to performance because you need to get headpats.
When you get headpats after everything you do, it loses its worth. You lose the drive.

I assume you have a dartboard in your room? And of course after the show's over you get your bus fare home.

Look at my updated build.

More fun, more breeding.

Balancing my "create a CYOA" CYOA. So far these are some score (before repostability modifiers, which affaect things a lot. Still needs some kinks ironed out of it; the generals cyoas will have much higher scores when it's done):
>Archdemon/angel: 194
>Jumpchain: 166
>Towergirls: 105
>Accidental Magical Girl: 122
>Waifu Secret: 81
>Seven Deadly Sins: 105

Note that the values represent popularity rather than objective goodness. Also, again, repostabilty factors aren't taken into account yet. Thoughts?

What's the max value?

Secret should've definitely scored like a five, at max.

...

>Archdemon/angel: 194

Why such a high score? I mean besides the great design it was just a waifu cyoa with no lasting appeal.

I also wouldn't include stuff like Jumpchain and Accidental Magical since that will only lead to us vs them arguments.

user do you have any idea how popular it was?

If you mean for repostability, the max is a special value that results in a general. If you mean that it was just that bad, then I'll have to disagree, although it is a fairly low-end/average score for a waifu CYOA. There is no max score that I've tested for, it's probably somewhere around 3-500 though.

It doesn't "include" anything by default, you just run a CYOA idea through the engine and get a score as a result. That was what it got.
