I'm glad that Tankista said we could pick two missions in Blood Magic. With a self-insert build, I can't turn down Basilia's plea, so I'm locked into the Question of Heaven mission.

>>97854500
Nta, first post in the thread is technically OC, released 2 threads ago. It's a shitty one, but it's OC that released after LOTM.
>>
>>97854515
That is not OC. Its two steps below even pill pickers. Even the author knew that, that's why he called it a "brain teaser".
>>
>>97854528
It is OC, it is just a small one. We used to get dozens of button presser type cyoas.
>>
>>97854515
Notice how Tankseethers rage about his cyoas being posted and talked about. But the moment the discussion stops and the thread dies, they disappear like mist.
Where are those faggots now ? I thought they cared about cyoas, seeing how much they bitch and cry. Why don't they post and talk about the "good cyoas" they screech about every time something they don't like comes out.
I'm telling you, Anti-author bitch babies are the worst thing to happen to this general and what will lead to its final death. No hobby can exist for long when its own fanbase start cannibalising the source of the hobby itself.

You know what this place needs? More unemployed nerdy NEETs! The last golden age of cyoag was during the covid era where everyone was quarantined home and had no outlet but online creative spaces like this one.
Hypothetically, if a mad genius was to engineer another global pandemic, /cyoag/ will surge yet again...
>>
I'm thinking about making a CYOA focused about going to a Superhero Academy that pumps out sidekicks that eventuslly turn into their own Heroes. Any thoughts, comments, ideas?

You bsically attend the Hogwarts of Superhero Schools and go in with a career in mind to become the Hero you want (villainy optional through delinquency/secret club) to be and model your school life around the school.

There is no Magic. Only mutations and super science. Max powerlevel for the strongest is city-block level destruction.
>>
>>97854875
Generic advice, but look at the older CYOAs about the same concept like Hero Academy or Enaria?
>>
>>97854875
This is basically just MHA
>>
>>97854875
So MHA without the franchiseslop label? Yeah I'd like that. Just make sure to actually come up with new characters instead of just ripping them off wholesale, aro-style.

It's less about "magic" and more about "school forming kids with supranatural abilities".

Really? I always thought that cyoas have degenerated in terms of aesthetic design recently. Stuff like Entropist and Radiant are almost an eyesore to me. Now compare that to stuff Imaginos and nxtb made.
>>
>>97854875
More capeshit is always welcome. Remember that the most important part of these cyoas is always the power section. People will like the CYOA no matter what if they like the powers they can choose from. CYOAs like tankista's worm, harbinger, or power creator all do this well (in different ways).

If the point of the cyoa is to make a cool academy setting, try to make the powers reflect that. Off the top of my head you could have people pre-select powers or upgrades that they can gradually unlock during their time at school, or maybe the powers start out strong and everyone has rule-of-cool action hero skills they learn at school to help them apply them better. It depends on what kind of setting you want to make.

Good guy, that Imaginos.

Glowing triangles? In Blood Magic? I'm not sure what you're seeing. Can you point to an example?
>>
>>97854686
>>97852293
>>
>>97855250
Jin-Roh was an unusual anime. It was loosely based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood, set in a dystopia. The most feared squad of secret police is known as the Wolf Brigade, and throughout the movie, it's unclear who (if anyone) they're hunting for. A lot of twists and turns, as a seemingly innocent person seemingly turns out to have a secret past, a rogue cop turns out to have a softer side . . .

Does it mean I can hook someone to celestial bodies and just throw them into space forever? How can one even defend against this?
>>
>>97855191
How do people feel about the idea of selecting the power first, then unlocking technique applications of the powers, and the powers have different limitations.

For example you get pyrokinesis but you gain supreme control over all external (Not ones connected to a flame user or their continous attacks) flames in-exchange for the inability yo have your own ignition (You cannot start a fire only control and excite them by feeding oxygen.). Then yiu can later improve the power by learning ti excite fire hard enough to turn into different plasma attacks like a plasma sword

I distinctively remember back around the 2012-2015 period, when we were discussing some cyoa I forgot that used alot of league of legend art, some anon wanted to know where the art came from and that it looked "really cool". That anon didn't know what League of Legends was.

So yes I strongly believe we have absolute bottomfeeding troglodytes among us.
>>
>>97856545
>didn't know what League of Legends was.
This is an indication of a healthy mind
>>
>>97856545
I wouldn't go so far as to condemn that anon out of hand. Remember, we're also on /tg/ and there are plenty of oldheads who browse here and haven't kept up with any games more recent than Nethack and Ultima V.
>>
>>97856545
my /cyoag/ can't be this retarded!
>>
>>97856585
So they don't have steam or watch a single youtube vid since 2005 yet they're aware 4chan exist.

It sounds like we have people who are retarded and are just mindlessly stumbling across random weird websites and clicking the malicious looking links from the late 90s to the early to mid 2000s and just said that was enough and they'll just use the same websites for the last 25 years.
>>
>>97856613
There are a lot of people like that. I would say people who stumbled onto 4chan through unconventional sources are around 15% of the site's population, and inevitably some of them would come into the /cyoag/. I myself found /tg/ back in 2014 by digging through the D&D wiki to find the thread series of a world they made for 3.5e, and have been hanging atound here since. I wasn't aware reddit existed before I saw complaints about it here. I'm not sure I'm not alone in my origins.

>>97856613

If you never got interested in LoL, chances are you won't recognize the characters either. I didn't until one of my friends forced me to watch Arcane.
>>
>>97856651
So you didn't find out about Reddit from google searches just gradually become more shit due to being ruined by SEO hacks and frauds manipulating google search results in the mid to late 2010s and by trial and error finding out that reddit google search generally marginally better answers before AIslop took over?
>>
>>97856679
I didn't use google very much. If I had a question or was curious I mostly just dug through my stack of encyclopedias.
>>
>>97856700
Regular people don't have physical encyclopedia sets laying around, you either got them from family/close friends or somehow got them for free, I remember the really good sets costing a quite bit of money 20 years ago.

And even then what's the point when wikipedia has all of that information and generally being more accurate and factual to boot.

I‘m looking for a cyoa I don‘t remember the name of. The premise is that you are a magic academy and select a headmaster, what types of magic are taught, what powers you have to observe the academy, and some of the students and teachers.

Geomancer of the Silent flow

Seems about right, very potent abilities, a spell that adapts to the environment, conceptual level invisibility that allows one to appear like they belong and anti-magic that empowers the user pretty damn good. You can probably tailor a lot of spells by modifying the environment around you, overall seems pretty damn great with great potential to empower itself trough building magic infrastructure.

Idea is to be super duper charismatic so I can easily manipulate people into binding pacts (and while the eye doesn't work on them it will also help with making deals with spirits). Alternatively I can just kill them with Transmigration or my Companions and bind them that way. Since I have Limitless Meridians and Signature Technique I can use their techniques much more effectively, and I have access to a bunch of learnable techniques through my Sect, the Institute and my Companions.

(Probably, don’t quote me on this) final update, taking an ambivalent alteration so I can get Signature Technique for the Eye. The reduced costs of the technique should essentially cancel out the aura loss, and there’s nothing stopping me from just quitting my job as a shopkeeper or having a trapped soul do the job for me. Also there’s a bunch of other minor updates.
>>
>>97856325
Also they don't work, I checked.
>>
>>97859849
Why wouldn't they? Spirits are just disembodied souls. Soul targeting techs are their natural counter.
>>
>>97856183
where was this alleged
>>
>>97859918
Spirits don't have souls.
>>97859922
Discord, the cyoag one. Though in retrospect techniques other than the Sorcerer's eye might work based on the wording?
>>
>>97859954
in the cyoa and the supplemental text, the only difference between mortals and spirits is that spirits don't regenerate aura and go to the spirit womb to reincarnate if they die, there's nothing about them not having souls

what would they even be if they didn't have souls? they don't need bodies either, so are they just nothing? makes no sense
>>
>>97859983
It's right in the first page, in the Human section.
>>
>>97859954
Got some further clarification:

> Do soul techniques work on Spirits (Jing Elixir, Sorcerer's Servant eye etc),

> Sorcerer's Servant Eye, no.

> Sorry, but to further clarify; does this mean all soul techniques don't work on spirits or just the eye doesn't work on them?

> The durability bypass on jing elixir ought to work; we'll say it's targeting the Spirit's Spirit, rather than its physical incarnation
> But for the most part, human souls are different from spirits
>>
>>97859991
the problem is that attacks on the soul are also attacks on the internal architecture that allows a person to use aura and create techniques, and we know that spirits have that, so they clearly have soul equivalents, they just can't make aura with them
>>
>>97860039
They may have something that is kind of like a soul, but they do not have a capital S Soul, which is why they can't make aura.

Never understand why sovereign builds are so popular. The population of Youdu is only in the millions and they have to split their worship base with others spirits. Of the 4 legendary status, they are probably the easiest to kill because they depend so much on the weak and powerless mass
>>
>>97860129
there's nothing stopping you from getting worship elsewhere, and any worship you do get isn't mandatory for you the way it is for spirits, it's a supplemental aura income, you don't depend on it

it's also a form of immortality if used right, and even if there's way better ways to do that people still go for it because of that
>>
>>97860129
True immortality, turbo buffs summons, and Alchemy is already the powerfags affinity of choice.
>>
>>97860129
>Spirits and residents from Youdu take long visits in Mortal World all the time, sometimes to maintain a cult they’ve fostered, and other times to experience a change of pace from the comparatively small City Between.
honestly this just shows i was right to make a space exploration build with my alchemy hive mind, i'll be the only one worshipped by the people of mars when i set that up

>>97860144
not true immortality, you still get ground down by the turning of the wheel like all spirits do

if you want true immortality you gotta also get the invisible sock shin booty stance
>>
>>97860153
Per lore doc, spirits persist until the wheel ends.
>>
>>97860162
wow i guess you don't know what the word until means then, lmao
>>
>>97860165
? That's literally just true.
>>
>>97860174
yes, and when the wheel's cycle ends you die, because you didn't have true immortality, unlike some other builds
>>
>>97860153
>>97860144
>>97860137
Do you guys all take Illumination of the Heart? I assume anyone who doesn't take this is immediately Aizen'ed and turned into a drooling tard forever. Perfect perspective is so stupid because it bricks so many builds
>>
>>97860179
Obviously I was not counting the literal end of the universe here.
>>
>>97860188
generally yes, but it's not a perfect defense in itself either

i'd consider not taking it in a build that has waning lunar eon + invincible sokushinbutsu stance, because that combo is veering into actual perfect defense

>>97860193
why ever not? there are countless ruins from previous cycles of the wheel under youdu, this is highly relevant

low-key also gives a huge benefit to satya yuga builds, since they're at the start of their kalpa instead of at the end of it like all those meme builds that take all of the ages
>>
>>97860188
I didn't take it, just saying why it's so popular.
>>
>>97860202
When I said true immortality I meant as in 'no one can kill you and you won't die of old age either', not you won't die ever.
>>
>>97860188
>Perfect perspective is so stupid because it bricks so many builds
It's very strong, yeah, especially if you build it into a bigger combo. One of my builds has it along with a few flow techniques that let me use it anywhere in Youdu even while I'm not there myself.
>>
>>97860209
well that's a really bad way to phrase it in a setting where there's a distinct repeating apocalypse that offers more things to do after it passes
>>
>>97860223
Context is a thing.
>>
>>97860216
What's your combo with Perpect Perspective? I assume there it requires some cast time like Sukuna's World Slash, but speed builds already outspeed most builds and they can chain it with Eon Convulsion, or cast it from the Mirror World

>Flow
Why flow though?
>>
>>97860235
????

this is exactly a context where your "true immortality" isn't true immortality my man, while some other methods of it actually are
>>
>>97860202
>waning lunar eon + invincible sokushinbutsu stance
Can this actually survive the end of the cycle?
>>
>>97860246
Special series expansion and extension, along with any conduction method. Mine in that build is absolute force conduction. I also have transfiguration from alchemy, so I can change someone's body and mind from the other side of the city without exposing myself.
>>
>>97860258
the invisible sock shin booty dance can do that on its own, you just want waning lunar eon so that it uses the stance automatically when you're threatened by something you don't see coming, such as a perfect perspective

i think that's the only way to survive the turning of the wheel in a starting build without shenanigans with special technique or technique artistry, however it doesn't seem like it should be any harder than learning some legendary technique fluffwise
>>
>>97860280
Some anon a few theads ago argued that the stances don't protect you from actual aging, which is why Spokeless Cosmic Wheel training ground build doesn't work. Did the author ever clarify this?
>>
>>97860306
i think that discussion was about the difference between body aging and soul aging, but even if that were a problem you'd just take one of the methods of having an egeless soul on top, like perennial lotus, and you'd be fine

incidentally, perennial lotus works fine with sokusneedbutsu, you just spend 1 aura and then regenerate it normally while still holding the stance
>>
Why does invincible sokushinbutsu stance have "Postur of impremanence immutation." as its phrase anyway? Isn't immutation a poor fit for that sentiment? It just means mutation. Kind of like flammable and inflammable meaning the same thing.

There isn't. It's called inner realm, but what it really does is give you the ability to be in contact with everything inside. Also it costs a lot to maintain, so it's just temporary. It sucks, and I don't see what the point of it is, because its greatest benefit is almost rivaled but definitely substituted by a cheap technique that costs 1 point, cloudy spirit hand.
>>
>>97860443
I'm pretty sure repeatedly stacking the spokeless wheel would lead to another big bang eventually. Shit is dangerous.

Spokeless Cosmic Wheel on yourself. You can train up to millions of aura in one kalpa.

>>97860443
? They are in a cosmic wheel, by default
>>
>>97860470
Its a custom domain expansion.
>>
>>97860480
I know the Stance protects from this, but I wonder how it feels to rawdawg a kalpa with absolute zero outside stimulation. Even if you don't get mad you'll probably go through some character change just from the sheer Ego Shattering Boredom you'll feel.
>>
>>97860470
Cloudy spirit hand allows you to create a misty hand that extends your range, the inner realm allows you to punch the brain of the opponent with a gesture, with no option to dodge, they're not remotely comparable.
>>
>>97860523
>Eventually Anon stopped thinking...

>>97860480
>You can train up to millions of aura in one kalpa.
no, it's exponential and would supposedly lead to about +70 aura in one entire kalpa, if you took another kalpa of time you'd get barely more than that
>>
>>97860523
I assume the "protection against mental degradation" would help. Remind me about an Entropist discussion about Novelty perk where people claiming anyone who don't take Novelty will die of boredom after some trillions years.

On another note, what would happen if you cast Spokeless Cosmic Wheel on the entire Mirror World? Would all the Phasefags unintentionally got caught in it and go insane since they half exist in the mirror world or something?

Degradation doesn't mean your personality won't change, just not in a bad way. You will probably become alot wiser, more patient and less concerned with materiality. Which is basically ego death for the average selfish, pleasure-obsessed anon.

btw i saw that nobody had any real retort to how ridiculous combining chimera egg with angelic avatars would be

angelic avatars have the main drawback that they cost aura, while chimera egg's entire point is that it grows independently of aura, so you'd create an abomination angle that the standard defense against angelic avatars just doesn't touch

>>
>>97861765
>Please clarify what you mean
I mean that for any given short form cyoa like this to leave a permanent mark it needs to have more cohesive ideas, which then compound into a single vision of reality or a single expression of life
Things like a hole behind your head that sucks things up being put in with identity death and personality change don't provide a clear image

Pet break by fox is a good example of a cohesive cyoa. It has no waifus, no living options and nothing similar, only a series of interesting and cohesive choice. While it doesn't do everything it does the thing it does
It's also really good

The concept and tone of your cyoa are interesting but the choices aren't defining enough of an adventure.

Someone has already posted pet break here >>97852337
>>
>>97862047
I see. Thank you for the clarification.

For most of them, I wanted to have plausible deniability that anything had changed in the world. I only added the be the girl option as a historical nod, as this was my first one I produced and it felt incomplete without it. The 2mm hole is one I experience in my life, and I tried to think of other similar things.

Now that I have done this I feel less beholden to historical precedent.

I will strive for a holistic vision in my next one.
