Art is a means to an end in cyoas, not an end in itself. Even if it's abjectly horrible as long as it's serving it's visual cues properly it can be terrible. When it isn't serving its cues properly you see valid criticism, like with Icarus. Happening to have a few good artists is really just a bonus.

>>25902348
Sounds reasonable.

My time zone is GMT -6.

Pony ears on a Hippogriff is dumb

>>25902678
This desu senpai

>>25902663
Hm only time i observed to be able to play was from 5:50 to maybe 8:20
which is figure out really early in morning
i don't feel like you shouldn't adapt for one guy though go with the majority if most players have your or similiar timezone (+1 -1 hour)
then that's what you should run on
i'm just a guy from croatia who enjoys your quest

>>25902279
Vincent should make a sequel with a batpony.

>>25902717
Huh. That's a rare flag to hear about.

>>25902739
what do ya mean?
rare country to play CYOA from?
or?

>>25902717
Be careful, I heard the Magyar are looking to take over again.

>>25902769
Couldn't say whether it's rare to play from, only that it's rare to hear about. Eastern Europe is more common than I'd figure overall though.

>>25902792
Yeah i figure most of players aren't exactly from balkan you know?
mlp isn't popular here
thing is i hardly ever get to play

So I've came up with some concepts for my cyoa, I havent thought of the main quest yet though. It'll take place in a world that hasnt been fully explored yet but more will be shown as time passes.It'll mostly be light hearted and adorable though, thoughts?

>>25902814
...Looks and sounds like Alchemist.

>>25902814
okay.

>>25902814
>booping with pointed arrows/swords
anon pls

>>25902814
Those weapons look far too violent for booping.

>>25902814
Another horn has been claimed.

>>25902825
As an alchemy player, not really? The only points of comparison is the fairy and adventure setting.

>>25902825

>>25902836
>>25902848
But how else can you boop a pone and stop them from booping you?

>>25902901
suction cup arrow boopers.

>>25902901
that looks painful
cyoa ponies are not for pain

>>25902678

Sgt Anon's cyoa was pretty painful

>>25902931

>>25902944

CYOA is up after Christmas Hiatus.

>>25902901
It would be cheating to boop a pony back right after they're booped. And cheaters get sent to time out.

>>25903025
And they only get one icecream sandwich at dinner time.

>>25902928
So should I stick with the origonal plan on weapons being things like foam bats?
>>25903025
But anon you forgot about counter booping can let you boop a pone right as they boop you.

>>25903089
which reminds me of
anon in pone prison thing

>>25903098
But counterhits would be boops that boop during the other ponies startup animation.

>>25903098
Use serrated swords and arrows, make it extra bloody and edgy, and put in a million angsty bat ponies too.

>>25903119
but then the pone will get mad that they should have booped them.

>>25903098
If two ponies get booped simultaneously, then they both have to lie down and play dead.

>>25903098
>So should I stick with the origonal plan on weapons being things like foam bats?

Yes. Make it Cutestria.

>>25902717
Yeah, the earliest I could realistically start in your timezone is 10:00 PM, or 3:00 PM my time.
And even then I doubt I could keep that schedule consistent.
Sorry CroatiaAnon, and thanks for the compliments.

>>25903098
Yes, foam bats, suction cup arrows, and pillows.

It's a Christmas miracle, I'm up.

Heh it's alright i'm just sad i never to influence actions of MC

Ditto. The only pic that made her look oksy is Hijack's and thst's only because he gave her a fat ass. Personally, I think the colors don't work, her design is too busy, and her cutie mark looks weird.

Is anything actually going to happen in Break Quest?

I guess that's true. Plus the other one will have better art than mine (and way more presumably) so that is good for the players.

Hopefully soon, I thought I was going to be able to do it saturday. But I underestimated the holidays it seems. Should be on sometime this week, lots going on so not really sure when. I'll post when I know for sure.

Which CYOA has the best battle system Anon?

I know someone in the last thread asked about this but I'd really like to discuss it more so I know what players would prefer to see.

>>25904126
Whoops. Didn't mean to quote.

>>25904126
Super

>>25904126
I like Hijack. Its got its issue but the comboing is hella fun and it can get really indepth sometimes.

>>25904126
There's two different things that you can do with cyoa battles. Either have it be descriptive (including rolls is optional), which is more enjoyable to read, or have it be creatively gamey (Hijack) so that you can get a few players that love to play it. The middle ground, boringly gamey (Shooting Stars, aka, press a to continue) is the worst option.

>>25904169
Get hype, Nips said he's revamping SS combat.

>>25904559
He's not good at full transformations yet but he's exceptional at changing parts.
We can give ourselves hands on the fly.
Plus with stavebro, we can absorb the mass we black-hole

>>25904576
Aw fuck, this pic wasn't supposed to be here.

>>25904559
He talked about he didn't mean to imply that Fruit could barely transform, just that he can't do as much as a full-bodied changeling. If we do some stuff and practice, we can get Fruit up to high-skill transformation.

>>25904576
Do elaborate on it

>>25904625
I used to vote a lot to try and get fruit to disguise himself as an erf Pone by just hiding his wings and holes.
But it was always ignored...

>>25904666
>being a changeling is gonna be a non-issue
>we'll never get to go around in a disguise

>>25904666
It wouldn't have mattered in almost every situation. His changeling-ness was only an issue once and that was bypassed in seconds.

>>25904635
Ukraine. But not in the war zone.

>>25904699
True, but we were warned not to go near canterlot in the beginning. Besides, Moth ponies don't really have a say in being racist to other bugpones

I thought /cyoag/ hated special snowflake MC's. Why does Cucky get a free pass?

>>25904832
Because it gets balanced by him being a cuck.

>>25904832
because of pretty presentation, also know as art

>>25904832
Every main character's gotta have at least a little special snowflake in them, otherwise they're boring.

>>25904832
Because nips :^)

>>25904832
The stff we've been seeing are because of our stave. Without it he'd probably only get to do minor stuff, like the hands we make every now and then.
Plus, fruity was made because some people wanted a changeling, and some wanted an earth pony. A lot of stuff that wouldn't fly today was normal back in the earlier days of cyoa

>>25904873
Pot

Speaking of battle systems, I think my old one needs some serious revamping. What would /cyoag/ like to see in a new battle system? Something fast-paced and frantic, or maybe something more methodical like a turn-based system? Should there be RNG (dice, rolls, gets, etc.) or should the QM control everything? What about the numbers themselves: Should they be hidden or in plain view?
Sorry if I'm asking a lot, but I've noticed a lot of CYOA's kind of empty out during fight scenes. I'd like to try and remedy that since player participation is going to be a big part of my next CYOA.

>>25904576
Well, I don't know if Alaska can be counted as Slavbros.

>>25904908
Exactly my point.

>>25904911
>asks for how to revamp combat
>doesn't say how he's run it before

>>25904911
What QM are you?

>>25904932

Very shittily.

>>25904958
nigga...

>>25904956
Inept.

>>25904889
So Fruity is worthless and literally anyone with the stave could do it.

>>25905004

Everyone is aware of that yes.

It's why we like him.

>>25904807
I wouldn't be surprised if we got a free pass because of recent events.
Fucking kill me

>>25905004
The stave is a tool, albeit a living one. Fruity is very good with that tool, or has some natural connection or someshit.

Just because someone is good with sword and bad without doesn't make them useless, right?

>>25905004
No, the stave works with mass and gravity I think. Since fruit is part changeling, he can use the extra mass to make things, where if someone like Halley were using it, it'd probably just make her heavier or stronger. We were able to lift up that big sword because of it. Although a much stronger Halley terrifies me

>>25904999
Check em, and how about next time you not autoforce us into a situation where we think the best option is to get into a fight with something that can pretty much auto-kill us?

>>25905082

Not what I meant, but are you referring to the harpy or the glitchy egg?

>>25905093
Christ, with you it could mean literally anything...

>>25905041
>Fruity is very good with that tool
Let's not get carried away here.

>>25905093
The harpy, personally. The egg itself seemed like it was a bad idea on the player's part.
Just ask Hijacker, he'll orgasm.

>>25905093
Personally I thought it was harsh to splatter Holiday. Could've just said no to the players.

>>25905041
If I gave you a gun you'd be moderately useful as long as you don't kill yourself or friendlies. You'd be just as useful as any other random person I hand a gun to. It'd be better if I gave it to a sharpshooter or ex-military.

Fruity stands out from his party in that he has no appreciable skills.

>>25905093

>>25905213
Pretty much this. With you, there's not really a moderate punishment. It goes zero to a hundred in a second. For the harpy, it was kind of
>"Don't want to play by my rules? Fuck you!"

First off, the consensus was 'take the items and make a sled out of the sticks'
>Soon as you touch the nest, the harpy shows up
Fine, fight it
>You're losing
Fuck the rules, beat it over the head with the combat system
>Fuck you, you're dead
Fine, fuck you too

It leads to an uneasy relationship between the players and the QM, and I think that's the problem with most of your CYOAs. Players get frustrated because the world is inflexible, which in turn makes the QM frustrated because the players aren't getting it, and everyone stops having fun.

>>25902150
A players' decision is a players' decision. It would cheapen the whole story if I was to simply retcon or resurrect her. I'm glad you liked her as a character, considering I didn't even get to reveal an important part about her backstory and Cutie Mark. I'm willing to give it a try with another character when I prepare all the changes, if people are interested. Strawpool and et cetera.

QM has said nothing here, so we just don't know

>>25905349
It probably has something to do with the QM being a bipolar shit who disappears for weeks on end without telling anyone

>>25905404
He's playing you like a fiddle.

>>25905342
I'm already in. I want to play a quest instead of running it for some time.

>>25905342
Can't believe dumbasses killed the quest just like that...

>>25903811
we agreed and had that discussion before and were struct with a long string of terrible rolling.After a saving roll invoked old whispen we decided to keep the classic design lest we further tempt fate.

>>25905442
They didn't do it to kill the quest.

>>25905142
>>25905213

The QM outright saying 'no' to the players is preferable to a penalty-free death with a cheesy one-liner tacked to the Game Over screen? Man, times really have changed since 2013-2014...

That probably sounded snarkier than I intended for it to. I didn't mean it that way; I just really am surprised at how much 'nicer' this place has become.

Anyway, I won't make up excuses about the harpy. I just fell back to what I know because that's how I used to keep players on rails. I've tried not to do that with FiT at all: You guys have really taken the character and the game itself in a much different direction than I ever thought/intended, and I'm glad to roll with it. But I had to nip giving Holiday Special godmode fourth-wall-breaking powers in the bud. That was my foremost thought with the death scene which I remind you isn't permanent, just in case anyone thought it was. So I guess in a way it was 'Fuck you, play by my rules,' but not because your only options were to Pokemon battle the harpy. Not at all. It was just to keep the players from thinking "Oh, she can break the game? Awesome, let's solve all our problems that way.". That was all that I was trying to prevent. I'm really nervous about ever outright saying "No." to players, or giving any kind of in-game hints. I just try to have the game world itself subtly show what is and isn't a good idea, via things like the MC's thoughts, reactions (or lack thereof) from NPC's.

I won't even lie, his constant need to ruse people tends to ruin my enjoyment of his quests. It happened with Lamentations too, he tries so hard to be le epic ruse master that it just gets tedious
Which is a shame cause he's actually a really good writer

>>25905313
So much this.

That Harpy and killing holiday in a quest where it made no sense is the straw that breaks the back, ain't following her shit anymore. She can't be trusted to run something properly.

>>25905371
wazzat

>>25905452
It's also that the Harpy and the ensuing brutal death are very much out of place in FiT. Especially since you said you wanted to get away from that sort of thing.

A problem doesn't have to be a giant monster. For Holly, normal social interactions are akin to obstacles, and fit much better with the tone.

I just worry that people will get bored if I don't do something different every now and then. That's why there was the AJ minigame, and why Threshold is all over the place now. Do people really not get bored of just following a character around in their daily life?

If their daily life can be interesting, hell yeah

>>25905636
>I just worry that people will get bored if I don't do something different every now and then.

>>25905549
>He really needs to shut up when he's running his quest.
Sometimes he'll forgo writing the quest just so he can argue with the players. Some of his threads hit bump limit with like 3 story related posts.
>>25905629
Yeah, and it's him writing this one, he just dropped the name, I think his trip is still the same.

I'd just like to say that I'm perfectly fine with the harpy thing, just so you know not everyone is bothered by it, it seemed like an ok way to end the thread for the night. We'll just reload anyway so death doesn't matter much.

But hey, hear me out, I'm trying to make a point

What if you played as the colt, decided to find out how to use the book to stop Sombra's magic, and for some reason only Aurora (that's her name, right?) was the only one who could fully understand the book
Then you could go on a mission trying to find a way to resurrect her
I mean it's bullshit and we all know it, but if you guys really want her back...

Threshold feels like something I need to keep serious and perpetually on the brink of disaster.

Though the latter has kind of started to creep in to it lately.

Shade falls in love with Tara

Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.

But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

Chalk Dust jamming a shotgun against Pitch's head in this room:
http://anonpone.pineapplecomputing.com/unique/24486154#navbar
The only different is a locker haphazardly put into the room with scuff marks on the carpet.

He's bleeding from a head wound and is terrified and she's incredibly angry.

Pitch is the Stallion, Chalk is the mare.

>>25910368
Sure, we could go with this one.

>>25910385
The fight scene in the mine was pretty cool sounding, but nothing really tops the emotional charge of your coltfriend betraying you and possibly leading to the death of a party member. Best scene in the quest imo.

>>25910409
That bit still confuses me. Why would they shove her legs and only her legs into a locker?

>>25910425
IIRC Pitch shoved her into a locker with her hooves cuffed together. He was just as surprised as us when we came across her legs in there and a blood trail leading to the door. It has yet to get a proper explanation because we don't know exactly what happened. Pitch is an unreliable source but he's our only source.

>>25910214
