whats a better name: devil trigger or deadeyes?

Jackpot. I choose Lily and Amelia.

>>55057977
theyre both kind of cringey but deadeyes is probably less cringey. but also it depends on what it's a name for. if it's for a person, deadeyes is probably the less cringey option.

did you not read the instructions? lily already selected amelia, you have to pick another person from her shortlist.

Does this mean I automatically become a cute girl, too? It doesn't specify and only says i'll be granted a new body. If that IS the case, i choose Lily, Amelia and Clara if i'm doing this right.

I have crossed the great beyond, achieved all that is possible and impossible. There is no mountain unclimbed, path unwalked, sea unsailed. I have risen above Olympus Mons, above the spires of Mars. I have sank below the oceans of Jupiter, into lightless depths. I have skimmed the surface of the Sun, through solar storms. I have settled the galaxy and united all beings. I have built the greatest and largest particle accelerator. I have unified physics and mastered science. I have opened the walls between space and travelled beyond the reach of light. I have disturbed the sleeping Gods and escaped the very universe. I have done it all and you will not remember me. Farewell.

YES, I'm getting bullied. I hope. I know a lot of her fantasies involve cuddles, but she can do that too.

>Amelia
>Alex

Assuming I followed the color code correctly. It really is confusing as fuck, does it mean only those with that color, so for blue it could be Clara or Victoria, or just the ones with that color for the background on their name? A better way to go about this would be to just match their color with the mistress of the harem if there's only two choices to pick from anyway. If that's the case, Lily would pick Amelia and then you could choose between Laura and Lucja. If those are my choices I'm picking Laura and hoping she's /pol/-tier autistic when it comes to her passion about politics because I can use that for more bullying.

I-I can't...
Literally, the RaW says that the harem lead can't die.
Sophia's description implies that harem members can be, "risked," but doesn't elaborate if that risk is mortal or psychological. I'm leaning towards mortal, since you are only described as, "unaging," and the end asks you to consider reincarnating with them again. That implies both that you can die, and that there are alternative that I should look into, because these guys suck.
Maybe the others suck more, who knows?

All I know is that I'm going to spend a long time with a lot of misdirected rage unless I can get my hands on whoever got me here, a responsibility that appears to partially fall at my feet, but ultimately was arbitrated by a higher entity.

>>55058754

>>55059037
this is correct, you and the other harem members can die
>>
>>55059037
>Literally, the RaW says that the harem lead can't die.
Then murder all the other harem members and tie them up in the basement.
>>
>>55059003
Depends on how much they figure into the overall concept. For something like Vampire King you obviously need quite a lot. On the other hand, works like Battlemage and Fulcrum are just fine with a few sentences.
>>
>>55059003
if its an adventure cyoa one paragraph is enough, though it better if there is at least one paragraph describing them as a person (e.g. personality, looks, penis girth) and at least one descring them as an asset (e.g. what they do, what's their style, what equipment they use)

good waifus require multiple paragraphs

Enemy description should depend on your style. Sometimes vague descriptions are good because you're not "supposed" to know your enemies well in adventures. Usually it's better to describe what kind of evil stuff they do and why they're ebil n shiet.

so paragraph about person+description of their powers. got it.

villains are an odd one, on the one hand i personally like knowing the powerlevels and such, but its an established setting- and those kind of things are self explanatory

That's a damn good point, really. I fucking love bestiaries and knowing what sort of creatures exist in a world. It's the scientist in me. However, you really SHOULDN'T know what is out there. An ultra specific list of threats and challenges fundamentally alters the way you play the cyoa. The Wilds Outside is particularly guilty of this.

Nope. Can't risk it. I'm angry, not stupid.
I need to understand as much as I can about this, "Karma," bullshit. I need to learn how the system works so that I can RIP IT TO FUCKING SHREDS game it to my advantage. If I can get the relatively peaceful support of an indestructible harem lead who has at least some experience with all this mumbo jumbo, then it will go much easier. Hell, I'll even TRY TO hold myself just short of killing those poor girls Sophia's dumb enough to ask me to beat up, just so I don't incur a blood debt with that dumb broad that keeps giving me punching bags to take my frustrations out on, AKA Sophia's rival.
I need to ride this out long enough to build influence over my environment.

It really depends on the kind of villains you're trying to design. If it's some mysterious alien evil, keep it as vague and threatening as possible. If it's some hero-turned-villain you can describe him in detail, maybe even give a believeable justification so some people will like or feel sorry for him.

They said you shouldn't know what is out there, that is, you shouldn't know what kinds of enemies and monsters exist in the world. But that's stupid, because people other than you have been around, know something about the outside world, and are available to tell you what's there. So not knowing anything doesn't make sense.

Lily, for the yuri. Charlotte was very tempting too. Got Amelia as a fellow harem member already, and I think I'll pick Lucja to go with us.

Very cute CYOA overall, but as this anon >>55059234 mentioned it could be made even better by adding some more options. I think some degree of customization in your new body, with costs that go up/down or become unavailable depending on your choice of harem-master. It would likely be more costly to be a male for Charlotte, for example, but for Lily it is entirely out of the question. Meanwhile, Zahra would give cheaper access to anything lewd. Could possibly also include personality quirks alongside body options.
Oh, would also be neat to get images for those fellow harem-members!

Lily, Amelia, and Lucja.

I don't feel that it's fair for me to be forced into this role, but I'll play my part for now. Cuddling with Lily while we play video games and watch anime sounds like a great way to spend a reincarnated life, and I can try my best to get along with everyone else in the harem as well. At the very least, I doubt Lily will stop me from pursuing my own interests, and continuing all the series I loved before my past life died.

Ideally, after having a comfy life where I befriend all the other harem members and spend plenty of time ensuring Lily's happiness, she'll be willing to help me figure out how this reincarnation thing works. What other 'companies' are available and how I can earn points for all of them. At which point, I'll hopefully be able to ensure my next life will be more my ideal than someone else's.

She's immortal, today is the best day to start changing the world
Sophia sounds fun but it can't beat domination.
The idea behind Lily is cool (learning the afterlife is real and changing yourself to do good to get the reward) but she loses from being boring, generic, pandering. Saber is fun too.
There's actually a surprising number of fun options. I'd pick Saber second and Sophia third, Lily fourth but only to stop her from being a neet.
I have absolutely no idea what the grid means or how it works. So I pick between Zahra and Lily, and get Laura "for free"?
Since this Laura is gay and a gay rights activist I won't be able to singlehandedly whip Lily into shape. So,
>Zahra
Dump Laura on Zahra so they're out of the picture and work on changing the world with Claire.

Contrasts with just about everything so images and text don't get lost no matter your other questionable design choices?

IMO it's better to have a dark (black or off-black) background with pale text, or to have an off-white with black text if the situation calls for it, but ugly-as-sin-purple does lend itself to contrast.

I'll go for Amelia as my alternate, because I gotta do something when I'm not fighting other cute girls for the glory of Mistress, and it might as well be gaming. Maybe we can call them tactical exercises.

The AI-lots, AFAIK, don't have partners by default; humans have been paired up with humans, and AIs started out solo, but want partners for personal reasons.

Anyway, I'll push him in here to actually answer questions.

They're both gonna be female, because it's a waifu CYOA. One is gonna be an AI they base on a female brain and put right into the Mech.

The other one is gonna be an AI they try creating from scratch, but it inevitably goes rogue, but they manage to lock it down into a "stress relieving" robot someone has laying around the base. It agrees to help pilot the robot if they promise not to destroy it.

>I picked the images because they were gloomy
Are you trying to say gloomy = muted colors? If so, yeah, do whatever you want, I won't even bother.
If not: you have high contrast around the images and low contrast inside the images. You draw attention away from the images and make them harder to read (i.e. not what you want).
Assuming you want to keep the background highly saturated, adjust the saturation of the images to fix that.
>>
>>55066939
>high contrast around the images
Helps keep the image contained to where it is. Looking at the images makes you focus on them and not the saturation around it. Contrast can work both ways, you know.

It's the same reason why you can choose a flashy border for something, despite the border having lots of flare to it versus the content contained within. The contrast keeps your eyes there.

That statement doesn't seem to mean anything...

If you had the insight to solve any puzzle, that would include the puzzle of "how to move your hands to get this desired effect". Or "how to get people to help you do that", or even "how best to practice to do something." Insight is pretty all-encompassing, as written.

I'm starting to get sick of multipage CYOA. They have to hook me deep and at a glance if they want me to start doing it.

Single page CYOA are faster to play, and faster to write, source, and polish. This faster pace, like short stories over epic novels, represents a shorter skill iteration cycle and more self-contained concepts.

You'll get more interesting ideas more frequently from the community, author skill and experience will increase faster, authors will suffer less from CYOA delay and abandonment, and poor concepts can be identified more quickly.

Lower the time cost of making and doing CYOAs, and the community will experience a renaissance of content and a revitalization of the community. You tend to talk more when developing and playing a one page CYOA, and can develop something that can elicit meaningful feedback sooner.

Like the short story, the one page CYOA is an invaluable tool for self-improvement, knowledge sharing, and the development of a personal voice. Learn fast, release fast, fail fast. It's ideal.

So, don't give up on our humble roots. Make a one-pager today.

The advantages of short-form CYOAs are not subjective. If you must know, I naturally prefer CYOAs that are a few pages; this current feeling will pass and my natural preference will reassert itself eventually.

And even then, the advantages of smaller works will remain. Because objective truths don't fluctuate with your preferences.

>>
Guys, make a Cyoa about how to escape your friends house when you're drunk off your ass. Not based on reality of corse...Degrade me anons, I get off on it :s
>>
>>55068472
Let me explain why the medical community so decidedly recommends against cotton swabs, out of their own mouths.

Cotton swabs, hair pins, house keys and toothpicks - anything smaller than your elbow -can cause cuts or scrapes in our ear canals, perforate our eardrums, impact our earwax, and dislocate our hearing bones. And any of these things could lead to infection, hearing loss, dizziness, ringing or other symptoms of ear injury, and even death... lol just kidding.

The real reason is, having a scummy ear full of wax just does not rate as a medical concern to a doctor, for good reason. If you leave your ear alone? The worst you will get is a slight temporary loss of hearing, in which case you can come in and pay them to - you guessed it - clean your ear with a cotton swab. But they aren't morons, so they don't use swabs that have sharp bits on them, or that is missing some of cotton and so you end up hitting with the stick, or any of that stupid shit. They also don't jam it in to pack your ear wax into a hard block, and use some olive oil or similar to loosen up the buildup so it comes free easily and safely.

Now take a look at the other hand: recommending people use cotton swabs is useless - millions do it anyway even when told not to by their doctors, only now any of them who do something stupid and then neglect it may develop a dangerous and painful infection in their ear, and will of course not have great feelings about your advice (and depending on the country may even sue). This sort of thing can tank your practice and a little bit of increased independence / cleanliness / comfort for you is really not worth the liability they take on for officially recommending its use.
>>
>>55068702
Nah.
>>
>>55068799
The funny thing is, all those methods they use to swab your ear when you make an appointment? Many of us can do all of those things. You, too, may be able to: not be a moron, inspect the swab carefully on all sides before use, clear the room of anything that might jostle you while you clean your ears, be very careful and gentle when actually cleaning your ears, and take safe measures to soften wax buildup when warranted.

If you really wonder about the rates of injury from using cotton swabs, look up the statistics yourself: what are the posted sales of cotton swabs by various manufacturers, and what are the rates of ear injuries in the same country? Assume for argument's sake that only 1% of swabs sold actually get used to clean ears.

So, what do you think of that number? Higher or lower than the rate of deaths from waking up in the morning, or herniated discs from bending over to tie your shoes? Get a strong sense of what that likelihood of injury actually means in your life, both its frequency and intensity.

If you prefer not to use ear swabs, don't. If you do, do. But in either case, don't be a moron, and also take care of yourself. Your insurer will not deny coverage based on cotton swab use.
>>
>>55068675
Even if you love epic CYOA with 8 pages of companions (or 80 pages of companion characteristics with which to craft your custom companions), couldn't you sharpen each of the individual CYOA elements you mentioned by doing a 1-page CYOA once in a while? Maybe as a reward / break after completing your main works. Honestly that's not going to be that often for the average CYOA author that specializes in long-form style. I mean, you could probably crap out 3 or 6 or even 10 1-pagers - I mean, they're just shallow drivel after all and the ask is minimal - without meaningfully impacting the delivery date of your next real piece.
>>
>>55068856
Nope. Because that's boring.
>>
>>55068814
I just use one of those little plastic bulbs they give you in ear wax cleaning kits. Get some warm water, fill the bulb up and squirt it in your ears. Just make sure to air them out after so they dry
>>
>>55068678
>Out of curiosity, what do you think would make a short, one page CYOA good?
- Clear, emphatic presentation and concept that complement each other and at a glance can be taken in and distinguished from other CYOAs.
- Eye-catching and intriguing images that pull you into the individual description as well as the tone and mood of the CYOA.
- Concise, economic descriptions written with flair and peppered with high-value whimsy.
- Deep choices that resonate with the player and their current mood and outlook in life; choices that won't be the same every time due to our changing selves and aren't just "choose all the Red options for Outcome: Red".
- Enough individual and meaningful character that it doesn't feel stamped out of a mold, perhaps defying genre, category, or symmetry.

>What themes or mechanics work best for this method?
I would say that its a good rule of them to keep the number of choices and options low to stick within the bounds of the format. This means that options that are deep symbolically and can be fleshed out in the players mind to interact with the options from other choices without too much explicit description, stats, or crunch.

I feel that themes and mechanics are your biggest opportunity for originality in this format and so I don't think recommending certain themes or mechanics is useful. Go wild! Try new stuff, weird stuff, stuff that "isn't you" or that you wouldn't normally see yourself doing. Get uncomfortable, fail. Go nuts hyperfocusing on one concept or scenario that stuck in your mind and make several CYOAs in the vein, changing it up and doing that hard work again each time. Set up themes and cycles, fun stupid stuff like dueling CYOA authors with the same or opposite concepts, anything - as long as it gets you starting and progressing and finishing your CYOAs.
>>
>>55068874
That's fair. You're honestly not a likely candidate for that kind of authoring / practice since you don't enjoy it or care much about the benefits that come with it, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that in the grand scheme of things. Do you?

Work for a purpose, that's all. A novelist is well served by writing short stories and other short-form treatments.

Regardless of the "state of the art", it is useful to reacquaint yourself from time to time with the tools of your trade at close range and limited scope.

>>55069179
>One and multipagers have distinct strengths and weaknesses.
Of course, one would have to be a fool to believe otherwise.

>You should make whichever best fits a particular concept you have in mind.
Certainly that is a valid thought. Keep in mind that you are also creating yourself, the author, with each CYOA you complete. One can also choose or introduce or escalate different concepts in order to introduce variety into your work and to make sure you cultivate as many of the benefits of the different forms of CYOA as you can bring yourself to explore.

So, you are one of those people who don't want to spend time on anything and get something out of it immediately?

>Helps keep the image contained to where it is.
That's already done by the contrast in hue.

>Looking at the images makes you focus on them and not the saturation around it
uh, yeah? It would be pretty bad if it was literally impossible to focus on one of the images. Your visual hierarchy is what is out of whack and having the 'important' areas have low contrast makes them harder to read. Of course, if you look closely at it you can still make sense out of it, but that's not what a good design should strive for.

>Contrast can work both ways, you know.
As in, if two elements are contrasting? Sure. If it's between a region of low and high contrast, no, that's not how it works. Look it up if you don't believe me.

>It's the same reason why you can choose a flashy border for something
That's really not something you should do. Background/user interface should always be less attention grabbing and noisy than what it contains.

>The contrast keeps your eyes there.
Yeah, but if the contrast is between something saturated and unsaturated, the eyes will get drawn to the saturated side.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
