Out of Beta, which means I'll be building the world for the RP.

2.1.1
* Not in Beta anymore
* Added note on min-maxing to beginning, and got rid of it elsewhere.
* More pictures (though the races one is shit)

AWAKEN EMPIRE REVIVAL CHAN

No. It's time for the empires of man to crumble to dust again.

Here's the newest version

I'd hate for someone to waste 4 hours trying to make a balanced build for this, only to find they're using the wrong version

>I am the sole descendant...
>I have full siblings
>Implication: my father was cuckolded!
What have you revealed to me?!

Oh, wait, it says "few remaining". Phew.

>I feel bad for how long Guardian Spirit is taking to make
>Maybe I'll make a little, simple CYOA as a sort of apology and thanks for everyone's patience
>It'll probably only take a couple hours
>33 hours and 3 text walls later
I really have no concept of how long these things actually take to make...
Regardless here's my "simple little" CYOA I started yesterday.
Hope you guys like it!

Also, this is actually the only one I've made that's perfect if you just want to roll your choice instead of picking.
>1=The Fantastic
>2=The Unknown
>3=The Mundane

There was a bit of misunderstanding about the options in the last thread as well, so let me clarify.
Think of each option like Schrodinger's Cat.
They are simultaneously all actually there and not there at once.
The only one that becomes a concrete reality is the one you choose.
So you don't have to feel guilty about not choosing the other two.

I want the power to teleport while leaving behind a lifelike silicone sex doll of myself, so that I might distract and confuse those that pursue me.

The Fantastic

I love you anons and authors! Bring us good OC!

The Unknown

The Fantastic, because I always pick magic. I suppose I'll save the princess, but she can be a waifu to someone else; I'll be looking for a kickass woman to go on adventures with me.

The Mundane

Okay.

I love Peach, but those knockers are too big, my man.

I didn't draw it.
She was just the best stereotypical Princess I could find with an easy to remove background.

Could use some better contrast between text and the background image in some parts of the picture.

Rolled 1 (1d2)

The moment you told the guy who picked fantasy to find the trap that he had chosen poorly, I knew that mundane roll had fucked me.
Time to pull the trigger again.

>Fantastic route is the big tits option
It seems I have chosen wisely.
>too big
No such thing

Dude this is literally the perfect fate for me. I love it so much, so glad I picked it.

I'm surprised this only had a short burst of (you)s, I really love the Victorian Monster Hunter sort of setting

Better.

Much, much better.

...

Yeah, I get it. It's a good fantasy, and I thank you.

...

It happens.

True.
Personally, I just thought it was a miracle that I was about to fit all the text onto the images without having to trigger my autism with having inconsistent image dimensions.
I'm glad everyone's liked it so far!
Makes all the hours slumped over the keyboard worth it!

Honestly surprised nobody has complained about my numb joke with the names...
Though anyone who figures out the Mundane's play on words gets a gold star because I'm a little proud of that one...

Dammit I should have chosen fantasy

I accept and embrace this

>Though anyone who figures out the Mundane's play on words gets a gold star because I'm a little proud of that one...
I guessed what was up from the name, yeah.

The play word in fantasy is her name spelling "WAIFU".
Is the pun in mundane her name being close to "otokonoko"?
I want the fucking star.

It's not something stupid like otoko right

It's kinda clever.

Waifu, waifu, and cross dresser.

Well done!
Enjoy your imaginary gold star!
You've earned it.
The Princess's initials and the Android's model type both spell out W.A.I.F.U.
Koko's full name is an anagram of "otokonoko" which is basically just the Japanese term for traps.
I said they were dumb jokes, I just was curious to see how many people caught the last one...
>cross dresser
ifrc that's a whole different thing than a trap.

Rosy really dominated that conversation.
I guess you could say she's quite riveting.

If you say so.

I don't know if this will make it to you, but here is the mysterybox

Not normally into traps, but hey, he's got great hair.

Mankind needs protection from monster. But mankind needs law.

With Josette, magic is brought to the mix.

As Unknown probably involves no mecha, I cannot choose it. The Mundane sounds mundane, so Fantastic it is!

You da man, ZodiBride.

God bless this trap option.

How would you feel about a CYOA that doesn't offer you powers/waifus/a kingdom/etc and instead was just a multiple-choice story?

>have no energy to come up with various cuck scenarios for ZBG's newest work

user's how do I fix my apathy

mite b kul

Congratulations.
You just cucked yourself.

>you're the Princess's hero and she fell in love at first site. She's chased as the day she was born because the dragon who kidnapped her just wanted the ransom money and, you know, likes to fuck other dragons because biology
>the Android is one of the most advanced AIs in the known universe and is completely unhackable. The previous captain was an old man who only ever saw her as a sort of granddaughter who made good tea and was fun to chat with. She is programmed to become immediately and unquestionably subservient to the captain of the ship and would probably kill herself before she letting anyone else so much as touch her without your approval. She'll simply shut down if you die before she breaks down. You getting beamed up created a minor loophole that allowed her to not do this when she realized the other Captain was dead.
>you are the absolute center of Koko's world and he would rather jump off the roof of the school than betray you.
He might go a little yandere if you try to date anyone else, though...
There ya go, user.
I'm sure you can find something in there.

I'm in love with the tulpae power. Psychic mind monsters.

>Mundane is trap
Fuck you sideways with a rake you fucking faggot

Thanks!

I fall back asleep and choose Fantasy.

Whats the source for the background in unknown

Calm thyself, dear user.
Koko is your childhood friend.
You're not dating him.
He is completely and all-consuming in love you, of course. But you're free to break his heart if you want.
Too late.
You're gay now.
No backsies.
>pic related

Not sure, I just googled "space ship cockpit."
Here's the original though.

Thanks

WIP of the cave-themed CYOA. Part 2 of 3 sections.

I don't really know what I'm doing, but I think I'm doing it well

Since I'm not into giant cowtits or traps, Unknown is the only option. I'm kind of tempted to join the tree monkeys in throwing shit at other travelers.

Hey ZBG, in the Fantastic route, exactly how much of a pre-established origin do we have? Are we some unknown and don't have any memory of this world, just the skills to thrive in it, or do we have a family and such waiting in some small village?

>implying I won't escape the gay through sheer force of will and disdain

>save every CYOA / OC I have come across
>now have over a thousand
>too daunted to have fun with any of them
>OCD makes everything worse
How do you guys prevent hoarding and sorting out the goods?

Every now and then I go through and cull the ones I've saved, weeding out the ones I'm really not that interested in after all.

Think typical isekai, but you've gotten some extra levels and skills under your belt that you'll discover and unlock overtime.
As far as the world is concerned you're basically the "Heroic Some Guy" who appeared out of nowhere and saved the princess.

...

...

...

...

Does the king look like pic related, by any chance?

...

The Android might be the only good character ZBG has ever written

Here's what I think is an interesting setup:
Imagine you're a Necromancer who's lived long enough to see this new era come about. Where do you go to? Which group do you join?
Who do you befriend? What do you do now?

...

Ricky may be gay now but he sure has style

he sure does

any character archetypes/traits you'd like to see in companions in an isekai cyoa?

Tomboys.

I'm allowed to take Obsession multiple times, right?

Give us access to meta-archetypes/meta-traits/meta-knowledge, otherwise you might as well just skip the isekai part.

No here's more of a blonder, younger version of this.
I'm glad you like her!
Sad to hear she's the only one though...

could you clarify what you mean by that?

...

Some meta-traits I can think of:
>Familiar with the world you now find yourself in. May even know a great deal about the lore and even some very obscure facts.
>Able to see the 'game menu' if it's an MMO inspired world.
>Can create a limited use save point.
>Used to be a min-maxing fucknugget, so now you know exactly what skills to level to get the most out of your class (This one could also be a meta-archetype)

The isekai part is more or less part and parcel of a properly designed CYOA, regardless of meta knowledge. It is of utmost importance that the character you are choosing stuff for is YOU, otherwise you lose all of the wish fulfillment/fantasy elements and may as well just go play an RPG instead.

On the other hand, that basically means that using it as the CYOA theme itself is probably redundant and generic, it's basically a "CYOA CYOA".
