How do you handle walls of text in cyoas?

My current project has a massive lore dump on the first page, and I'm worried it might scare some anons off.

>>54721541
Advice that I'd give to you, not just as a cyoa author, but generally as a writer; Avoid lore dumps at all, if possible.

The rule of "show don't tell" doesn't apply to anything written for obvious reasons, but the general concept is still important. Try to weave lore into the general body. If there's a situation where you think the readers need to know something, ask yourself these questions:

1: Do the reader REALLY need to know? Are they missing important context, or is it just "pointless" fluff?

2: Can you work an explanation into it?

Ex. Your reader doesn't understand that guns shoot bullets, so rather than an aside where you explain guns need bullets, you write "guns are powerful, but are limited by their ammunition, bullets."

Perhaps not the best example, but you get the point.

3. Can you work it into something else?

As in the above, but in another option.

Ex. "Whilst a big stick won't deal as much damage as a gun, it can operate independently of bullets, which guns cannot."

4. Can you work it into something irrelevant?

Ex. "Dave was mistrustful of guns, due to their reliance of bullets."

This works particularly well as it can help add flavour to other choices/elements. If done well, at least.

Hope this helped

>>54721541
Just make sure you don't hide the game mechanics in a wall of text.

I'm the last person who should be giving advice on text walls, but see if you can boil your lore down a bit, then figure out how to convey them in the actual options. Hopefully, your world and your options are related, so when you explain an option mechanically you can also drip feed lore through that explanation.

The plan is simple. Use my gold and business to colonize the lands Beyond the Wall. It's not like the wildlings are properly using it (they don't even know how to use a freaking windmill, for petes sakes). In no time what was previously a barbaric wasteland will turn into my own little merchant republic. Depending on when in the Game of Thrones timeline this CYOA happens I could either do this now (if it happens years before any of the current troubles exist) or I could do it after the White Walkers are beaten back. Just in case the White Walkers still cause trouble I have my Dragonglass weapon and the daggers to hopefully do some damage and provide some defense. My companion, Vaballatha, is a rich man, and his insistence on paying my expenses will save me money in the long run.

Favorite Class: Language Arts
Friendly (House Points)
Guardian (1 real point): Rapture is a nasty place, but a potent upperclassman who's been above the influence is a good thing to have.
Inherent Magic: Vow (6 Points). At least if I can get someone to agree to something I can be sure it will be followed through
Crush (+2 Points): It's probably a dangerous bad idea, but there's this one Themis girl...
Leftover Points: 4, going to stats (already reflected above)

Mysteries: Fairy Rings, Restricted Section, and Neptune Break-ins. The rings could be handy, and the Restricted section is high effort high reward. The Break-ins are convenient but possibly not super useful...

ENEMY: I pulled a Stalker from House Venus going for the "Controlled" Dark Fate... well, it's certainly not good, but it could be worse.

Most of what you said makes sense, I suppose I just need to practice weaving the lore between gameplay.

My only issue with this is that whenever I want to explain something, something else needs to be explained for the first to make sense. This quickly spirals out of control for me.

>>54722740
Just now butting into the conversation, and I have the same problem, but something that helps me cut back a bit is trying to focus first on what the player can interact with. By which I mean, am I explaining things in third person, or can I bring in a character to 'interact' with the player instead, and how much exactly do I need to explain before they are making choices, as in, how quickly can I move the 'conversation' to one where they can give some kind of feedback before I explain things in more detail.

Not always. Sometimes, you can drop a hint about something, then explain what that hint actually refers to later. It helps keep the reader on their toes.

I mean, we know that the Frostfangs must have at least copper and tin deposits, since the Thenn have made a small kingdom which uses bronze weapons. Combine that with the timber from the whole region and the furs from the wildlife, and if you're not opposed to slavery you might as well just take the people too like with what happened to Hardhome. Sure, it won't be a great agricultural region with the cold weather, but you can still make a good amount of money from it.

I considered doing the challenge with a Fantasy World, but figured "hey, why not be a magical girl/go super-edge". A big sister to keep my potentially psychotic tendencies in check, and I guess Fumie as another moral anchor, as I realize that someone appreciates me in a much greater way. Also, I've always thought the Me? option was the best.

>Year 1- Ranged Combat, Maneuvers
Time to give a little kid access to firearms. This is also where I first come to meet the colorful characters of Edge Hard Academy, including the token bard, the awkward centaur, and some emo chicks. Well, I can certainly dig being part of the black-and-grey crowd. While I attend the events, I am still fresh meat and therefore do not do anything special.

>Year 2- Ranged Combat, Divine Arts; Great Hunt, Battle of the Arts
Doubling down on the gun kata, specializing in the twin-barreled military rifle. The weapon is almost as tall as I am at this point, so I think we’re doing well. Last year I noticed that Silene tends to take a lot of damage when she fights, so I begin to study holy stuff to help her. After all, the tribe back home is really into worship anyway. I’ve also gained enough confidence to try my hand at competitive poetry and beast-slaying, a great part of that courage coming from the fact that I can stand far in the back while the melee guys tangle with the monsters.

>Year 3- Ranged Combat, Unholy Arts; Battle Royal, Battle of the Arts
Now the coldsteel begins in earnest. I’m beginning to feel a little more hostile towards non-Ej Har kids, and that in turn influences my decision to take up the unholy arts. Lucky for me, the tribe already worships a dark god alongside the light one. That shit’s sure to go well with all those Lunestier snobs and Legem Dei prudes at the battle royal. This is also the year I start studying illusion magic on the side because I think it will give me a “secret weapon” or something like that. On the relationships front, I duel against a pretty chill swordsman from Uzuza and begin to feel the first repellant stirrings of a teen crush on Miss No-winged Angel.

>>54726009
>Year 4- Stealth, Maneuvers; Great Hunt, Security, Bodyguard
Dammit, they won’t let me take marksmanship classes anymore. Alright, may as well use this time to get better at sneaking and running around, because gods know what the hell I’m going to do with the rest of my time here. Farhat says no poetry this year– some punks want to shit up the winter festival. I guess I’ll put a bullet in someone’s head if Inas doesn’t get to them first. She’s amazing.

>Year 5- Divine Arts, Unholy Arts; Battle Royal, Battle of the Arts, Party Planner
Decided to dedicate myself to serving the god brothers. Bet you didn’t see that one coming, mom. Time to finally do better than tie against Izuki. I’ll get around those swords, I know I can. I guess it’s also time to start thinking about the future, too. What am I going to do when I get out of here? Should I get all my friends together and begin a career in murderhoboing? No, we’re not really built for that– and besides, I don’t want to look like some tryhard from St. Flares. I don’t know who’s going to take care of Cassie, either. Does she have anyone else outside of this school? Whatever, I’ll think about this later. Gotta plan for that stupid party.

>>54725336

>just online poker

I can imagine a hidden society that plays games of online poker in which they bet everything they possess: from their money to their youth to their future children. The most succesful players quickly acquire wealth and power beyond measure. The worst players dissapear into nothingness as they lose their very souls, a state known as "0/No HP".

That's just one thing you can do with it. There's tons more. Just pretend you're writing the synopsis for a shitty anime and the ideas will come flowing.

>>54726627
>This is just online Poker.

Alternatively, instead of your money you're betting your life. Win and you get a slave, or years added to your own. Maybe you'll regain your youth, or trade up to a brand new body. Lose, and you'd best hope all they want is a slave out of you.

Ah, I see. I thought it meant I couldn't use hp as a mechanic or plot point, not that I need to include a mechanic or plot point around having no hp.

From there, the game is still basically Poker, which I can't really make a CYOA out of, but I can totally make one out of finding an online poker game, with one's life essence as the chips being played, and maybe the ability to choose who you're playing with and what you're aiming for.

It still feels really flipping dull though. I'd reroll the poker thing if I wasn't worried about getting something even more boring. Although at least it isn't a mmo where "if you die in the game, you die in REAL LIFE!"

>>54726786

Anyone know the answer to a few Daemonology questions?

If you have higher innate power, does Innate Body function as a higher vessel? Like is it a Tier 5 vessel for Bloodline with all the assorted costs?

When Third Eye mentions being able to use a demon's knowledge score, does it intend to say only AFTER you have created the Third Eye, not to create it?

Why does an Artefact cost as much knowledge as a Third Eye or Halo despite being objectively inferior? Third Eye is also objectively inferior to Halo, but I guess he wanted Celestials to be better than everything.

Is there really no way to bind demons to increase your power other than Jars?


Basically I'm trying to figure out how to bind Wiseard as a Bloodline, and as far as I the only way to do it would be to put Ragnin in a Familiar, put two Tier 3 trolls in Jars, then finally put Wiseard himself in a Third Eye. All that collectively costs you 82 points, which is doable with the DLC but I feel like there should really be a more direct way of doing it.

Yes only after.

I dunno. But if you ask me the idea of putting a concept of reality in a gun is quite amusing.

>Is there really no way to bind demons to increase your power other than Jars?
Nope jars only.

Artefact works really well as the Troll specific god-mode. You can stick Ymir in it and thus gain both fleshsculpting and infinite toughness, letting you just fleshsculpt the artefact into the center of your now invulnerable body. I'd say it's pretty comparable to Halo and outright superior to Third Eye.

Sucks, you basically end up with two useless demons and a Ragnin that can't even forge shit for you.

Also I REALLY don't see any purpose for Bloodline. Occultist has to spend 91 points to bind Wiseard , but they actually end up with 9 points left-over pre-DLC because of their starting points. So you get more points, then the option to use your stars to purchase from another demon family, which is probably going to be a MASSIVE boon even outside of the scope of the CYOA (you effectively double your long-term flexibility and potential.)

In fact, can anyone here think of any reason to EVER choose Bloodline in this CYOA?

>>54727042
>Artefact

Anon, Ymir is a Tier 10 demon and Artefact is a Tier 5 vessel. If you put him in something five levels below him, as per the rules, you start to destroy reality because Ymir himself is the mortal realm.

It just tells you bad things happen, but it implies it's pretty nasty. Don't forget that Ymir also attracts other demons and all the arch-mages and martial heroes, who are vastly more powerful than any demonologist at anything, will want to kill you.

>Oriadne
>Elixirs
Even if Oriadne can allow me to take all the elixirs, that wouldn't be fun. So, I only chose six (also, I can think of more interesting ways to spend the time with Oriadne).
B02-Grace - because a target hard to hit makes the opponent lose their temper
B03-Vitality - so that damage hardly matters
M05-Skill - i don't need to know everything from the start, just master the skills that I really will use
M08-Analysis - as to not be outsmarted by anyone and make the best plans
S09-Magic - because magic should always be on mi side
S10-Guardian - an additional member for my team (and I don't really know how good is Oriadne at combat so we need take precautions)

Though there are 13 opponents in total, most of the time will be 3 vs 1 so I don't think things can become difficult at any time. One of many possible tactics is cause some of the brides to fight each other (those who can use area attacks are perfect to weaken groups, like the automatons of Sephy or the beasts of Talisa). Some of the brides don't even have seem interested in -or capable of- a fight, so I go first to talk to them. Conveniently they also seem reasonable enough to agree with the harem route, which is my final goal anyway.

Finally, when I get all the powers of the king (those that make gods cower) I'll use it to get one of my favorite abilities: create copies of myself linked like a hive mind; so each bride has her husband 24/7.

>>54727322
You kind of do because the Troll's natural enemies (I forgot which ones those are) will think this is a great opportunity to destroy their a Tier 10 leader of an opposing faction.

I'd imagine bloodline is what the world's elite would have. Innate demonic power, superhuman stats, etc. Even without messing with demons you're already a literal ubermensch. It's obviously been balanced for cyoa purposes too. There's no logical reason why a family of demonologists so well-versed in it would hold 0 occult power.

Occultist might be the superior cyoa option but in the setting I'd argue they're made outclassed by the bloodlines.

>>54722146
"dump play" Is this a saying in some places? Pretty sure it's a typo of "dumb play", but I like the CYOA enough to give it the benefit of the doubt.

>>54728258
*0 occult knowledge. It makes no sense a family of literal demonblooded demonologists would know nothing about demons.

>>54728258
>Innate demonic power
All this does is let you bind demons without study, it doesn't give you anything else.

>superhuman stats
This isn't anywhere in the CYOA. It explicitly doesn't do this.

Also I want you to read the blurb at the end of the DLC. Daemonologists are looked down as scrubs by real wizards and fighters who can both instantly disable all your demon abilities with a thought. No Dmonologist is any kind of elite.

>>54728296
It always seemed to me that demonic power signifies the combat/destructive potential of a demon as well. I don't see why it would differently for a demonologist.

>>54728368
Because it's called occult power, not demon power.

>>54728379
Is the stat called differently with demons?

>>54728296
I'm pretty sure that was talking about the top tiers of wizards and fighters in comparison. An elite demonologist could handle most things that are not innately tuned to fuck demons up if they are somewhere in the ballpark of their demons. The smartest move is just to have one of the smart ones teach you real magic after achieving immortality.

>>54728379
Fighters and bloodlines their power mentioned as ''Intrinsic power'' So it is a different thing

>>54728401
I'm pretty sure the cyoa suffers from bad design decisions and any attempt at thinking things through leads to loreholes. Don't go analyzing it.

>>54728389
Yep. Occult power for demonologists, demon power for teh demons.

>>54728401
If your elites are inferior to their elites then you're the underclass. Hell demonologists generally seem like they're just shit-tier that managed to snatch power despite not naturally breaking physics like martial heroes or being born into wizard nobility like actual magic users. They're only demonologists because they don't have access to anything better.

>>54728411
Re-read the bloodline profile. It says intrinsic occult power.

Starting somewhere between Bruce-Lee, and Experienced Hunter as default, with clear options and indications of power progression going up to mid rank werewolf mostly ensured by the cyoa.

>>54728502
Then the arch-mage waves his hand and instantly all your vessels release their demon back to their realm.

>>54728571

>Implying arch-mages are hurt by your petty demonologist tricks.

>>54728687
>Demonologists are not the only and certainly not the most powerful kind of magic user. Magical societies are ruled by wizards. You can teach yourself some wizardry but not as much as the arch-mages, unless you use some high level mindmelting technique, and even that is borrowed power that is easily taken away if one knows what one is doing.

To highlight:

>even that is borowed power that is easily taken away if one knows what one is doing.

>>54728718
>Smidge of difficulty
What

>>54728732
If you know that you are powered by borrowed power and you managed to summon a stupid strong demon to use as halo you probably know how to make safeguards, and you will surely know how to do that if you have a demon that knows about magic whispering you shit.

>>54728770
>you probably know how to make safeguards
That doesn't seem to be in the demonologist's kit from reading the CYOA, senpai.

>Demon that knows magic
Only puts you at arch-mage level according to that snippet, then the arch-mage just zaps it all away.

Japan is creatively bankrupt but its consumers aren't. So the majority of manga just resort to pandering and fucking strange plots to give the illusion of quality. A below average war story becomes interesting and appealing if you make all the tanks, jets, etc. literally girls.

>>54725661

>Extra Life
>Save Point

The usual plan; one save point as early as possible for groundhog day style "immortality" of a sort; the other is used for stuff like winning the lottery, redoing particularly enjoyable or important days multiple times, stuff like that. Extra life is a contingency in case of accidentally falling down the stairs or whatever

>>54729664

>You design a quantum potato peeler so you can instantly peel potatoes by abusing superposition
>You end up with a doomsday device
I can see it.

>>54725661
>Extra Life
>Save Point

Use one save slot immediately. The other will be used fairly constantly for dicking around, like winning the lottery or making a killing on the stock market by redoing weeks. When I'm quite old, or my extra life expended with no real ability to reclaim it with the "near" save point, use the "Start" savepoint to warp back with my knowledge of what is to come, and (ab)use this knowledge to prevent any global catastrophes and advance human technology. If I make sure to understand as much of the inner workings of important breakthroughs as possible I can be an inventor (or a shadowy mentor to inventors) in later loops, advancing technology quicker and ensuring that I reach more new stuff. Eventually, I should get to a point where immortality or at least truly massive life extension tech hits while I'm still more than able to enjoy it and have my Extra Life. At that point, I make the second save after my personal upgrade and hold both saves. Once I'm sure it's worked and I'll have enough lifespan after that point to continue to push my survival and humanity's progress forward I can overwrite the start save, accepting the timeline up to where we beat the reaper, and use the "Day after upgrade" save as my new start and the other slot for day-to-day mischief while I play for the next great leap in human evolution. Right now, I believe that compressing the timeline of technological advancement via time loop could eventually solve any problem, allowing me to eventually move forward step by step and experience truly new days.

That, and taking a few decades off to be a billionaire playboy or something could help
