CYOA Thread

Tomorrow's a real long day, user! It's not like you 'job' is more important than working on your CYOA!

Look on the plus side, I spent all weekend working, and now I can finally begin working on my stuff. You can do it m8.

Don't work tomorrow user, it's Victoria day. God save the queen!

Update on CYOCYOA: I thought it would be done by today, but I was wrong. Even without the neat formatting stuff that I'm skipping doing, it's a handful. 100% coming out tomorrow, however.

hype

One important lesson for you two to learn: don't bother with deadlines. Just get it done when you get it done.

That way the hype doesn't kill interest if no product arrives.

You're right, but I'm usually pretty accurate with my estimates. Oh well.

WHEN'S CHINPO-SAMAS KEK FESTIVAL CYOA???

There's really no reason to try to generate interest for a CYOA anyway, unless you want some motivation to keep working on it.

In your mind, ready to be unleashed upon Photoshop to post online.

Whenever you're ready, senpai.

>tfw no Beach War cyoa with waifus, bros, and lolis.
>tfw no talented enough to make this cyoa.

>the Government is the only faction not out to just fuck the world's shit up

Fuck, alright. Let's do this.

>Power Origin
Serum.

>Augments
Strength
Speed
Endurance
Durability
Immortality
Stimpack
Burst
Ranged Combat
Senses
Healing

>Unstable Augments
Devourer
Precognition
Landmines

>Employer
Gubmint

>Perks
Weapon (Something ranged)
Loyal
Mentor

Not rolling with the government out of any fondness, but they seem to be the least hellbent on murderraping everything in arm's reach. The weaker augments in general suck, so devourer is going to help me play catch up. Eating the fallen is nasty and all, but whatever it takes I guess.

Basic game plan is to kite, kite, kite. Prepare battlefields beforehand, maintain distance, plant mines, bait less patient augments into bad positions and use the weapon to finish them off. Hopefully my mentor is cool enough of a dude to help me through the first couple of fights before I've built up enough strength and durability with devourer to go toe to toe, and the benefits of loyal on all of the government's forces seems insanely good.

If I had to guess, I would say that I'm completely fucked.

It sounds like you just want anime pictures of people at the beach not that I don't want the same thing.

>go to CYOA thread to see what's new
>link over to old one to see what I missed
>Angel posting vacaroos of herself screaming and pics of her cutting herself
I-I just wanted have some simple escapism guys.

Nah man. I just want a non-nonsensical high fantasy adventure at the beach cyoa.

Seige giant sand castles using volleyballs. Use limbo sticks as barricades. Kill the army of crabs that come on to the beach and giant squids. Etc. Eat watermelon slices during a time of rest, don't get captured by the enemy and buried in the sand.

...

>You

I'll use a collar. My preference would be nothing, to work purely from my own power, but it's just too limiting. The others are the same as far as I care, so I might as well use the strongest.

The most important power is Classic. It's a classic for a reason.

Stockholm Syndrome because I don't want my slaves to be unhappy. At least, not after that initial period of playing with her, before the stockholm syndrome kicks in.

Love potion for the same reason, and also because I kind of want that for myself.

Triggers because changing someone to act and live her life differently is way hotter than just being obeyed.

Hypnosis, purely because of the "new slaves" thing.

Orgasm is kind of tempting because of the dual functionality and the notion of using it on people who aren't already slaves, but ultimately I doubt it would be all that useful.
Instead, Words, because apparently there are super heroines I have to hide from.

I'm taking all the slaves I qualify for. Lacking Maid means that I miss out on Kirrie, which is a shame, but I don't want my girls wearing uniforms. I do get Lilly, Jill, Cecily. I'll try to hook Lilly and Jill up with jobs, to support their upkeep and keep them busy during the day, but Lilly is mostly to play with and Jill is to be a classic waifu. Cecily is more of a daughteru age but I can have fun with punishing her too.

Suggestions: Something that makes it so that your slaves can never lie to you, and something to make them get along well with each other. Hypnosis and Classic should stack together to let you give subconscious commands.

Posting some stuff to keep thee seat warm for any OCs.

T-there will be OC r-right guys?
Right?

We got Kingdom Diplomacy coming. Italics maybe got something??? Some user is working on CyoaCyoa.

We got OC coming.

Sure the government wants to murderrape everyone, they just don't need augs like you to do it. They already have the power they need for that, all they need is to prevent others from taking it from htem.

He's releasing a new version?

I'm trying to write waifus for a lewd CYOA and it's haaaaard.

Can someone post the pokémon CYOA?

Who do you have already?

Question for the people making cyoas: how do you plan the presentation of the cyoa and what program do you use?

Holy shit I finally finished the first 20 neutral companions for the Hero Academy cyoa. I was hoping to finish the whole thing by tomorrow but god damn it I spent all of Friday night in the emergency room because my idiot friend some how got a fucking concussion mowing his lawn and spent all of today and yesterday sick as shit. But through the powers of modern medicine I manged to type a lot of some what coherent sentences. And god damn it I just wanted to vent I'll shut up and go back to my writers cave.

Only thing left is the 20 school specific companions, cross school events (think missions), complications, and school clubs. Most of which has already been done and only needs to be written.

As moot as my witness I will finish this by the end of the month!

Which one? We got 3; Pokemon Personified, Pokemon Trainer, and the Pokemon were actually cute girls the entire time.

Pretty sure the one I want is the last one.

I use photoshop and tend to copy layouts I like, I usually start by outlining stuff with rectangles and then work from there.

Also those double dubs

I have a farmgirl, a tomboyish cop, a shy girl, and a slut written out. Gonna also have a girl who likes cooking, a clutz, maybe a mechanic, and probably some more.

>farmgirl
Please, please be the writefag from that one thread talking about creamy thighs.

if you want instant success add a yandere and the option to become a girl. That's like a formula for a successful cyoa here.

And coming up with them is the easy part. It's the writing them up that's hard. And to make them all about the same length. The Kaifus are the only waifus I've ever written, and I feel like I didn't do a great job with them.

>this is not self-serving advice at all

Looking forward to it Box. You can do it!

Nope, sorry.

Persona would like to talk with you. Their yandere might be defective.

What is the key to making a decent to good companion cyoa?

Yandere a little bit but not so much the being a girl, fuck that menstruation bullshit.

It's nice when Be the Girl options include magic/altered physiology/tech to obviate the big disadvantages to allow the slut character insert to work smoothly.

Set up a framing setting/situation from which to draw criteria for choosing a companion.

How did that basket of issues end up here in the first place?

>tomboyish cop
Can we have a delinquent too?

>my idiot friend some how got a fucking concussion mowing his lawn and spent all of today and yesterday sick as shit. But through the powers of modern medicine I manged to type a lot of some what coherent sentences.

Plot twist: you got concussed so hard that you thought you were your friend?

Gee user, what could possibly attract a basket case to escapism?

He says he's almost done with Girls in Military, plus he has more waifu cyoas coming down the pipe.

I think he finished his finals or something.

Well, good times are coming.

I don't know if it's for everyone, but I liked that one with the knights where each companion had a quest and among your companions you would pick one of their quests that would upgrade that companion and have big impacts on the world. (I think there was a fantasy version and a sci-fi version).

Also, unrelated, there was another knights quest with art by shwig (basically, it was some art he made compiled into one image). The nice art was probably the most alluring part, but I also liked how unique each companion felt from each other.

tl;dr Having some kind of quest attached to a companion is a nice way to expand their character (it doesn't even have to be a long one, as long as it encapsulates their goals), and , within your own CYOA, each companion should feel different and special.

That pic has had me laughing for far too long.

Why

Not that user, but that anime face looks shopped on. It doesn't match the rest of the art at all.

Thanks, Anons. I will put this advice to good use.

Why are you resurrecting that shit? Leave old shit in old threads.

The gun doesn't make any sense.

harmonyfags go home
This is the superior reason.

For the love of god, make the companions likable on some level.

Make the lore of the companions affect your choices somehow. easy way to make them unique

Hey, it's not everyday you see someone cut themselves over CYOA drama.
And apparently her name's Lisa.

>thinking it's unironically real

What is this a reference to?

Persona's yandere yanded too hard. People don't like the idea of being bled out for hair dye and her personality to you is bitchy instead of sweet and loving.

>tfw google images didn't turn up matches

Make them appealing people with their own interesting but not edgy backstories and talk about how they get along with you, people like that.

>Those Horizontal cuts
Pff

Down the road, not across the tracks. Fucking casuals.

was it confirmed angel? As annoying as she is I wouldn't have imagined her posting pictures of self harm like that

magic, mystery, etc.

Just stop it. This shit is so fucking boring already.

I hate it when the kids come out for the weekend.

>Potato pancakes
That photograph is deeply offensive. Those are most certainly hash browns.

...

Well I would like Personified.

I don't know, I don't like looking in the mirror so I can't really say.

>I'm not having fun so everyone is wrong
please go away, that guy

It's 16 pages and it draws people to bitch about how it's not in a PDF.

You can find it in the first Google Drive in the Pastebin link.

I just feel like it's pretty CYOA-unrelated at this point. Making out like I want to censor you or something is pretty extreme.

Besides, you're not wrong, you can do what you want at this point. But some people actually care when they're boring someone. This isn't a judgement on you, either, so don't bother writing a snappy response.

Should just go play soccer if she's gonna be a pussy and pretend to be injured.

If the fact that Angel doesn't even post here anymore doesn't stop those shitposters, the fact that nobody appreciates their shit won't stop them from slinging around like a retarded monkey.

Dude. This is a Veeky Forums thread. More specifically a CYOA thread. I'm honestly surprised more people aren't complaining considering the complete irrelevance.

Shit waifus = shit CYOA
There seems to only be fucking gay options

I don't even care about ragging on a long-gone Angel, honestly. But babby's fist "haha! I'm posting insincerely! with memepics" probably doesn't belong in this thread.

I mean, if you're going to play around with very unrelated stuff, be funny, or sexy, or something. Anything.

mate, I agree with you guys that it's getting pretty irrelevant here, but what else is there to do while waiting for cyoa's? Anyway, all I asked was if it was Angel being a shit here again, not start up some NTR argument
>Veeky Forums thread
>ever staying relevant
I'm surprised we even still have CYOA's happening at all

Fuck's sake, no wonder people bitch about this shit.

People like to bitch. It serves a vital purpose.

I don't think I'm ready.
