/cyoag/ - CYOA General

>>54622547
I hate this CYOA so much.

Why can't anyone make a good modern CYOA without it coming across as smug and inch-deep as this?

Hey I made a generic waifu CYOA, so get ready for me to interject myself and my namefagging into irrelevant things so that I can establish a presence here and get (you)s because I have no one to talk to in real life and no skills or hobbies and I need something to consume the rest of my mediocre life

Does anyone have any news for that Hivemind Companion CYOA that was linked as a googledoc a while ago?

Yeah. I find it cute that a hivemind can be interested in you for multiple reasons that can be supplied in the cyoa.

Could someone point me into the direction of a comfy kingdom cyoa that does NOT involve pocket worlds? No battles for succession, no imminent wars, no hereditary concerns, no political intrigue, no mad lieges, etc. Just comfy, idyllic kingdoms surrounded by other comfy, idyllic kingdoms without the introversion and loneliness associated with private pocket dimensions.

>>54622870
The closest I can think of is Dream Prince. It implies you can visit neighboring dream realms, but that still smacks of poket domensions.

>>54622870

>>54622870
Magical Realm can achieve this with enough effort. My first build was a comfy continent of magitech kingdoms that have long since forsaken war yet still retain a friendly rivalry.

Raskar can track our prey and Blackest can slow it down for me to get the killshot. My accurate shots should make up for Raskars need to use parts for totems so we should break even moneywise, but we should be pretty safe and save on healing and repairs.

Blackest Night Crystal can absolutely give me a chuuni name

Millicent is hot, and should pay well for the mostly intact amount of dragon parts we bring in, plenty of scales and wings and stuff for her to use; will have to make a point of hunting ones she can use well. Tanya is just nice, and I love being matchmakered for (and BNC and Millicent would both be good waifus) and Jameson can act as a fourth man in the field who pays us for the privilege; hopefully he won't get us into too much trouble.

Scifi kinda has shitty options, in all of the sections. Worst wives too. The daughters for it don't even make senese, the wives are a robot, a cat, a moth, and a rabbit, but the daughters are only a cat and a rabbit. What gives? It's impossible for you to produce the cat daughter with 3/4 of the wives and the robot one makes zero sense with 3/4 of them. The rabbit and moth straight up don't get an option in this section. I started on a build for this but I can't even finish it because the events all mention a daughter and I was stubbornly insisting on a scifi build despite it being the worst, yet the only two girls I can remotely tolerate at all don't get a daughter option.

The Arcane sphere can do weaker versions of the other spheres' powers (IIRC, one RPG playtest had an Arcanist throw a brick at the same level a T&T crushed a car), and has miscellaneous unique powers like summoning and magic lasers.

But Geo > all anyway, so it's kind of a moot point.

>>54625091
On the off chance that you aren't entirely shitposting:
>Isn't CYOA just a shittier version of quests?
There's a number of differences, with CYOAs being self-contained (and no necessary author involvement), user-focused (with many paths, fleshed out by the reader's imagination), general compactness (Many are a single image file, as opposed to quests that can only be saved in their original multi-thread form), and more.
>What sort of people even likes this shit?
People who like choosing their own adventure.
>What's the appeal?
Previously defined settings for you to imagine your own adventures in (or ruthlessly optimize; depends on the CYOA) without having to limit yourself to a single plotline.
>And why don't you just fuck of to /qst/?
Because we aren't quests.

>>54623098

>>54625368
>never posted in pdf form
CYOAs that weren't made as PDFs from the get-go would generally require rebuilding them as PDFs in the appropriate application, as simple images-to-PDF conversion would (from what I understand) be either too large to post, or too compressed to read.

>>54625368

While there's no need to edgily worship being offensive, it's still a bad idea to treat 4chan like reddit where personal insults might actually mean something. Here, there's no reason to become butthurt if someone calls you a faggot or a retard, because it's not really meant with any vehemence. Usually.

>>54627014
Personal insults only ever have the meanings that people assign to them, in any situation.

There's nothing stopping anyone from being a turbo asshole in these threads. You might pick up a temporary ban eventually if you really work at it, but that's after the fact and many turbo assholes don't have the long game in mind.

Bitch about what you don't like, and people can bitch about your bitching, too. Don't like the resulting bitchfest? Alter your practices a bit and see if it doesn't feel better to be on the side of angels. People can roll their eyes at "be the change you want to see" all they want, but the alternatives are bitching, bitching constructively and pleasantly (aka not bitching at all but rather discussing), staying silent, and leaving.

>>54627123
>Do you fuck her, Gilgamesh?
Make this CYOA real. Now.

>>54627126
But I do. I shouldn't, but I like shitflinging fests. So, fling away. You're only making me harder.
That said, I don't go out of my way to cause them, either.

Anyway, calling a CYOA shallow and self-satisfied is pretty constructive.

Engineering isn't subjective; either it works, or it doesn't. Cooking is subjective, because taste is involved (although it isn't everything).

That's why cooking was a good fit for this cyoa example. There is still a right and a wrong beyond subjectivity, but you still have to recognize subjectivity and that sometimes people don't know they are conflating the two. Just like some consumers of food.

Anon, read the original post. It says "I hate this CYOA" (an acceptable sentiment) and then says why: it is "inch-deep" and "smug". What, exactly, is your issue with it?

I'm slowly working on a CYOA like this, in which you travel around between different cities, all of which are fairly nice, meeting people and doing fun things. But I can't figure out how to make it interesting, and it'll be a long time coming. (Currently >1,400 environmental pictures and about 250 interior pictures-- lining up art styles for this is really hard, and I've never made a CYOA before.)

Pretty subjective stuff, as you know. If the argumentation isn't related _enough_ to the original argument, it doesn't justify to me the repetition of that argument. Just start an argument where that argumentation fits instead and we can have the same worthwhile argument.

Edition labels or the like just aren't part of how I make threads. The next thread will probably be made while I'm asleep, though, so here's to hoping you get your more amusing titles or whatever.

I like cyoas.

>>54629367
I only like those with companions or waifus

>>54629381
I don't. I always feel guilty for forcing them to be friends with someone as boring as me.

>Tess, Sherry, Hammerstein

If Hammerstein is a robot, he'll appreciate an armorer to repair him and his gear. Plus he's a big guy for you so he can do the heavy lifting and protecting.
Sherry can trapfind and be our brains.
Waifu Tess. I'll be sure to eat healthy so my blood is nice and tasty for her, and I'll keep her gear in tip top shape!

Why so sad kitty cat?

I think your thread is fine. But don't pretend you not doing a certain thing was forced on you by someone else not doing a thing before you. Cheers and have a good day/night.

>>54629381
They have to be worthwhile waifus though. Shit waifus are pretty shit.

I guess I'll go with Hastur, and try to turn into the embodiment of a God-like alien being.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

>>54629461
I was playing VtMB and suddenly realized I was born into a world without magic and no matter what I do nothing will change that the world isn't urban fantasy. Cyoas let me pretend at least and that's why I love them.

I'm sorry for my autistic feelings.

>>54629025
Or you could not make it so early.

Hey cyoag, I was always wondering what the craze and focus on waifus and companions was. What makes them so enjoyable to you guys? I can't really get into the whole mindset of that to be honest.

Sometimes I wonder why it is that we are born here, in this universe, a very mundane seeming universe out of all the possibilities why exactly this one?

>>54629606
It's fun to pretend I have friends.

>>54629606
Get out reddit.

Are you the anon looking for stylized landscapes? Everything I have is on Pinterest right now, and it's easily connected to my actual name; otherwise, I'd share it with /cyoag/-- and I will do so when I've got them off Pinterest and into some other system.

>>54629606
I like cute, feminine girls with appealing personalities.

>But don't pretend you not doing a certain thing was forced on you by someone else not doing a thing before you.
I'm not, but I'm also not going to get forced into doing it. I'm way too lazy to start deviating from my /cyoag/ thread-making ways.

>Yithians migrating into humans before their extermination
That's what the Colepoterous Race is for, though. Ah, well, I suppose I should learn my mathemagics from the Crawling Chaos and not puss out like Walter Gilman. Yog-Sothoth also has a lot to offer and the path of the cultist is one to ruin in any case, so perhaps the best I can hope for is that should a pawn make it across the board, they can promote... never to king but Keziah Mason and the Starry Wisdom sects had good runs.

>>54629606
Human beings are social creatures. Even being anti-social is a kind of social behaviour.

Social connections can provide political, professional, martial, sexual, romantic, technological etc. allies or rivals in a given CYOA as the case may be. Even the early "stuck in a room for 10 years" cyoas had companions and waifus, though they didn't call them that.

Why wouldn't waifus and companions be a fun element in CYOAs?

>>54629494
ofc, even power cyoas are better than shitty written waifus

>I'm not
You literally said it was the other guy's fault for not doing it before you could. Getting forced into doing it or not isn't really the issue.

>>54629624
Because something knows that this is not the world we desire.

An adventure is better with someone to share it with.

I'm naturally disposed towards being helpful to a partner so would prefer a duet or team over a solo adventure.

They're qt

>>54629543
I agree and I'm an adult with all the usual normie stuff.

>literal goddess of whores chooses a whore as her avatar

Not shocked in the least.

>>54629624
Because most universes seem mundane against the cosmic backdrop of possible universes, making the question applicable anywhere if the person is jaded enough about the world the live in and at the same time enthralled enough with fictional worlds.
