I'll have you know that there's no "visual" element here. There aren't any "novels" here either. It's a genre about nothing with no games aimed at no one in particular but for the sole purpose of draining patreonpigs of money they are too stupid to have in the first place.

Lately I have been reading the wod novels. The book of nod, gehenna, and now i’m starting with the clan novels, and god… it’s so, so good. It’s a shame they pander exclusively to fags.

Could have been fun but the author wasted too much time on a shitty turn-based combat system that doesn't fit the story or the setting at all.

Sounds like you're reading oWoD. Unfortunately that's been shelved and discontinued. Retcons and new developments abound so insead of Gehenna we just have gay generic messiness in v5 which is the only canon and the only license allotted to future projects.

I stand by what I say. The game is mostly good but it has no plot, everything feels like a side quest.

>>3922157
>it has no plot
Are you retarded or just an underaged? It is a survival post-apocalypse game. The plot is trying to survive together with your group. And Jim was very heavily inspired by Walking Dead comics in how he writes it, both in the original ZE and even more so in ZESH.

>>3922158
>The plot is trying to survive together with your group
Yeah sure, but he could make it less boring then.

>>3922169
It is not boring. It is derived from the characters and interactions with them. That is a fundamental part of post-apocalypse stories. And he does a pretty good job of writing these characters.

So is CoG still the best way to get in if I actually wanna put myself through writing one of these games?

>>3922643
It is because they already have a stable customer base just don't make a trooncord.

>>3922643
Yes. Create an account there and open your own thread, siphon as much of their playerbase as possible, avoid any heavy controversy if possible (genderlocked game and romance will be enough to get you canned, unless you force the players to play as a female/troon or the romances are only homo) and when you near the ending of your production, make a grandstanding post about villainy of CoG and translate your game in a different code, then self publish.

>>3922643
ask zaper

>>3922662
Zaper was killed in that giant favela raid in october

>>3922667
Nah, he actually survived that one. It was only in Janurary that ICE finally got him.

>>3922643
Anon built an engine to write one but I'd go with CoG since they have a ~150,000 customer email list and a forum built around testing your WIP for you and spreading the hype. Let the fans make a discord if they want to, like Wang did, and avoid the social media side entirely.

>>3922783
>avoid the social media side entirely.
I wish wang did this

>>3922643
>>3922783
I'd write one myself but they seem hard to write for the type of genre I'm into (on top of being autistic)

>>3922847
What genre? If it's good I will shame you for not making it.

>>3922847
I feel like the entire medium has stagnated exactly because of that kind of thinking. We need more people trying to wizard up weird ways of using ChoiceScript.

>>3922891
I think it has more to do with the fanbase having settled into the niche and being reluctant to engage with certain genres and newer projects. Certain authors and series are established; they carved out this niche, and now the fanbase is comfortable there. Not a criticism of those series and authors; they did what they were supposed to do. To many, CoG and HG, to a lesser extent, mean only certain types of story and approaches to choice games. The universe has expanded to its limit, if you will, and new lore is often not readily embraced.

Whatever happened to waywalkers university anyway? The author was still working on the third book last I checked

ANOOOOOOOOOON!

>>3923018
It's probably dead, somehow. The first two games weren't even that long I don't know how he even managed to screw it up.

>>3923018
Apparently there's a demo up on her patreon. Though the other anon is probably correct and the game will never be finished, given it's been fucking 13 years since the last installment

>>3922852
I enjoy both magic shit of the autistic kind and more like detective noir thrillers, both of which might require a lot of work if I want to include anything like politics or twists for a cyoa.
>>3922891
I've seen the code of the WoD games and a few others. I won't pretend to be a good programmer but it does seem like quite a lot of work. I'm sure I can try to figure it out though at some point.

>>3923082
>I won't pretend to be a good programmer but it does seem like quite a lot of work. I'm sure I can try to figure it out though at some point.
Ignore that anon's point. ChoiceScript doesn't natively support a lot of wizardry, that's why Aura Clash was probably the most complicated game mechanics-wise there, which was accomplished mostly by overlapping multiple relatively simple options.
CoG and HG do not need to be complicated to be successful, and the engine was not designed for that purpose. Infinity has simple mechanics, for example, which work because of multiple branching and the fact that Wang remembers not to dumb the result down to you fail/you win.
I code-dived Gutshot and I would say it's a very solid while still simple design. Give it a look.

TL;DR
Instead of designing complicated solutions, avoid pitfalls that other authors land in and your game already looks well designed. Then, you just need good enough writing to support it.

>>3922847
Just use twine, that is what the Aura Clash dev is doing after the people at CoG gave him the boot.

Well yeah you're nothing without the Patron but with it you're way more talented than the others.

That aside, who’s your favorite romance in ZE:SH anyway? We should be talking about that one seeing as how it recently came out! Mine’s is Brody obviously :3
>>3924892
Doubtful, the guy you replaced was also a poorfag with a troubled family history, he would’ve hated that guy regardless

>>3924892
Honestly, I suspect it's a red herring and he just thinks transplants are DEIs propped up by the academies or it's a cover for bring in unacknowledged bastards. But it might put him on the track to discovering (You)r real identity regardless.

Also, I'm really hoping there's more to the magic system, because everyone else being effectively locked one magic type and there really only being four total feels too shallow.

I have absolutely no idea why it filters people so much. It fits perfectly for an artificially created lifeform like Step.
And personally, I also choose to read it as not fitting into the world, which fits with the themes of the FH well and is an entire philosophical concept. FH can literally be read as a slop version of Myth of Sisyphus, Notes from the Underground or The Stranger.

>>3926819
nta but it gets annoying every 5 seconds clarifying that 'yes I still view the puppet as a disposable tool and no i do not want to BE the puppet nothing has changed'

I think the tone of derealization and disconnection is good but you can do that without prompting me with “I don’t feel connected to people… does that inspire me to want to crossdress and get turned out like a little sissy?: Yes, No, I wish Ortega was here” 3 separate times within 10 mins.

>>3926824
Well, yea, that is why I said slop. It certainly could be done more gracefully. My point was that people overfocus on it too much, and ignore the genuinely good aspects of the book. All the more so because it is a rare kind of edge that the modern world is really lacking.

>>3926805
Not trying to defend loli pedo shit but at least those are images and not the real thing.

>>3926823
It has the same issue most CYOAs now run into where it hinges the plot on the player purposefully leaning into making additional drama for themselves. If you decide to treat things rationally and not have a psychosexual link to your puppet then there goes half the game yet it will still prompt you about it over and over. It’s a world with a lot of potential and already built-in conflicts, yet I’m stuck dealing with the author’s gender issues. Another example of a story hinging on that is the Keeper of whatever and whatever series where the whole story hinge of turning into a maniac with a god complex is avoided by taking a couple of naps during each game when the MC’s inner monologue nudges you with “man I’m super sleep deprived and not thinking straight”.

The CYOA genre is a monkey’s paw of getting the freedom of choice that every other RPG game lied about using, but that freedom is dependent on having the author’s fetish or idpol forcefed to you every other page

it actually went scarlet hollow ->stp ->scarlet hollow again because they did it in an episodic format and didn't finish it and promised they would. StP is really good and i found scarlet hollow to be decent for a first project, the horror parts are the most interesting/best parts for me compared to the downtime with most of the characters who I was luke warm on, i like tabitha and find her relatable with her seeing her buisness as the only thing keeping the town afloat and having a constant tug of war with the workers and being stressed with all that, the last thing she needs is for her cousin to stir up more trouble. stella was decent, she's an instigator for the plot to happen-will probably die because she keeps playing chicken with the supernatural- her past friendship with tabitha sheds more light on who tabitha really was before she became constantly closed off. the rest i don't remember the names of. the dad librarian, the black chick and the lanky 6ft twink are all whatever, i knew the twink for a chapter and he was chill but then he turns into a murderous werewolf and our options are either put him down or let his mom keep drugging him and as a prisoner and probably a possible loaded gun if he goes berserk again so i had to put him down. lastly you can go out of your way to invite the nonbinary cafe dude on your adventures if you wanted to which I never did and i promptly forget about. One thing i can give it credit for is that if you pick the le wacky zaney tumblr humor options you will be treated as an irresponsible weirdo and if you pick the sane normal person options you will be treated like you actually have a functioning brain. at the best of times the skills are proto-voices, though they never have as much personality as the voices, still stuff like picking the streetwise skill gives you more cynical shifty narration is neat

>>3927659
>it actually went scarlet hollow ->stp ->scarlet hollow again
It's even worse then. You got millions of sales and you don't remake the game? Feels lazy.

>>3927693
Why the FUCK would you remake an episodic series before actually finishing it? The playerbase that actually likes the series would eat the studio alive for that sort of bullshit when they just want the continuation.

Are there any CYOA games you think are not recommended enough? They don’t have to be perfect games but ones that are better than most
For me:
Silverworld
Pon Para (I feel like this one used to be popular but lost ground to Marquis’s other games)
Choice of Magics
Bootlegger
Stars Arisen
Werewolves series
Relics series (author having a blowup with CoG killed its hype, but it’s one of the best I’ve played)
Siege of Treboulain
Highway Wars

>>3927776
The art's pretty sovlfvll actually and goes with the tone of the game.

Don't get me wrong, it's not super polished professional AAA+ art but it does it's job and, I think, does it well.

>>3928055
>Werewolves series
It's not recommended for a reason lol

It sucks, it's one of those "medieval games" where you play as a "king" who doesn't act like a king at fucking all, to the point you have to personally go do stuff like investigate a poisoning and do shit. Nobody treats you like a real king.

Also, they have this character whose whole thing is that he's an "gender fluid" avant-artist who treats the whole thing like fashion. And he's a central character with a whole ending, too.

>It sucks, it's one of those "medieval games" where you play as a "king" who doesn't act like a king at fucking all, to the point you have to personally go do stuff like investigate a poisoning and do shit. Nobody treats you like a real king.
King that walks among the people is the oldest royal trope, it is a mark of a good and just king.

>>3928206
Well yeah, you’re not getting a Choice or Hosted game without pointless idpol through non-binary and trans characters that have to tell you all about how they are that added in 9 times out of 10.

There's a difference between a king walking amongst the common people and a "King" acting and being treated like a commoner.

Hungry Names was okay, and made retroactively worse by all the bugs Kyle introduced with implementing the DLC. I would recommend people who want the werewolf experience either just play Werewolves 1-3 or the two WoD werewolf VNs they’ve made which are mostly good

>>Half of it is Madison going “btw you’re not going to be my first” and describing in detail how she lost her virginity to a Chad on a holiday trip
Literally never seen that in my Madison romance route, you’re going to have to provide screenshots
>>Part 4 is you having to keep yourself from getting NTR’d by Kevin
Anon? While Kevin is crushing hard on her, she has him in the friendzone, I recall her saying how she sees him as a little brother

i do recall madison saying she wasn’t or hinting that she was want a virgin in the earlier chapters
but she definitely friendzones kevin, as early as chapter 3, my mc had high charisma though so maybe that was a factor

>>3928285
>sees him as a little brother
so he's killing himself right?

>>3928285
I’m not replaying the game to get screenshots, but it’s during the sex scene (I don’t know if it depends on the location or not, but I took the apartment of the couple that Kevin’s dad says left the camp). There’s a whole page of dialogue where she describes going on a spring break trip to a beach and losing her virginity to a guy there.

>>3928324
From there you have the option to tell her how many people you have slept with and if you don’t say you’re a virgin she gets passive aggressive

>>3928325
Can you tell her afterwards that Jillian was a better lay?

Yeah no, I think you’re misremembering the scene, she makes no mention of past experiences, in fact, she gets really insecure if the MC on the other hand >>3928325
tells her that they aren’t a virgin and she gets hurt at the revelation

>>3928331
yeah now I remember, you could find a portrait of another couple that used to live in the apartments, and after you fuck her she never talks about another chad or anything like that

Consequences of these chuds watching porn 24/7, unfortunately. Why care or get mad if a fictional character loses their virginity to someone? You can have your MC cheat on your partner in the very same game, you could even cuck Brody by messing by around with Bailey. It just seems like a really silly thing to seethe over.

>>3928363
If the fujoshit and Heart’s Choice slop could at least be accompanied by any worthwhile discussion I could stand it more. Instead they just post “anyone played this??” with a photo of the worst cover art you’ve ever seen.

>>3928364
The hack writer school of thought now is to make every character seem deep by having them describe a specific memory from their past over and over. This combines with the fetish they have for cuckoldry to make a deep romance story where every love interest gives you an itemized list of the dick they’ve taken.

As I said in another thread, the author likes to fuck with his readers. Jillian was supposed to have Lyle's baby, until people complained and he changed his mind. Kelly gets kidnapped and fucked in every hole by the Silverthornes and then you have Kevin drama with Madison.

>>3928379
Every rational person knows that there’s very little to be gained by diving into the dating/sexual history of your partner, yet every time without fail a new RPG with romance will come out and every love interest will open with a play-by-play of their first ever sexual encounter.

Rogue Trader waifu selection was a solid upgrade. Argenta may not have been romancable but there was no better moment in modern gaming than when the black tomboy psyker was having a breakdown due to a demon's influence, Argenta asks me if I should take the shot I say yes, and she shooted the black chick instead of the demon.
