>>25878084
If it's done well, I'll read anything
>>25878084
>>25878084
Maybe.
>>25878084
No fuck off.
>>25878030I can't think of many quest MCs who are particularly interesting characters. I mean Renne of the famed Renne quest isn't very interesting. The rest of them sort of just has a generic archetype the players usually stick with that would make them boring as actual characters.
>>25878262
A lot of mcs are meant to be shaped by the anons.
Unfortunately, anons suck

Hey look, a thing.
>>25877872
So, I just got this E-mail and I feel like I should say something here because this has more to do with this place than my personal blog.Also I've learned that someone is bound to repost it anyway.
I don't think that I would be the best person to continue Colorblind.
For one, I would have to read through all of Colorblind, which may take a while. Also, from what I have read, Colorblind has a strange format that I would probably have to get used to to run it properly. From what I've read about Colorblind on this thread it seems like it's more of a psychological thriller and to do that right you need to have a consistent narrative pace. Unfortunately in my CYOAs are paced like a toy car with a pullback motor, which my posts in Vamp are a good example of as well as most of 11-54which I only recently tried slowing down and forcing the players to solve problems with the environment in a relatively safe place, because I was a little disappointed with how little thought the players were putting in after I finished up Entrapment.I really wish I could get people to start paying attention to the environment again to help them solve problems.
Now from what I've read here it sounds like Colorblind is the kind of quest that has a level of surreal disconnect, that makes the world a mix of real and imaginary that the players would have to sort through, even though I would like to do something like that, last time I tried was during that terrible Halloween special I tried to do and I remember how bad I was at handling that.
Also, I've got two of my own quests that I'm running, I'm not sure I can take on three.
>>25879141
>I really wish I could get people to start paying attention to the environment again to help them solve problems.
We did, we paid attention to the part of the environment that said apollo was a paper tiger.
>>25879141
>we
One person said that.
>>25879210
Atleast two of us did, given i didn't send that.
Although that email isn't entirely accurate, bath was picked for writing a bittersweet/good end and it was largely on the basis that nobody else could pull it off amazingly well either.
>>25879251
It still doesn't make sense to say 'we' as if there were wide-spread agreement.
>>25879264
of the people who talked about it, it pretty much was. nobody forwared an argument against it.
Getting autistic over the use of the word 'we' here is a bit strange.
>>25879403
Why would anyone argue against it?
>>25879482
because they had a better choice?
I'm noticing a running theme on getting caught up on words.
>>25879539
I'm just not sure why you'd expect opposition.
Also I'm not the first guy.
for some reason I thought this was the wrong thread
>>25880078
>anons keep asking for lewds of the booty quest kids parents
>get steel and Tara instead
wew lad
>>25880084
Still think this is one of the most boring ships in all CYOA's
>>25880085
>no one lists specific pairs in particular
nigger thats like 20+ characters
pls
PLS
>>25880099
Literally any of the pairs would have been good.
>>25880093
I really like it, personally. Got lots of interplay. The two of them go together really well imo
>>25880085
>Hijacker
>listening to his players
>>25880108
Its a great big Opposites attract cliche where steel showed disdain for her pervy tactics until right at end he kisses her.
one sided as fuck romance.
Doesn't help that Steel has the personality of a piece of wood.
>>25880099
I remember seeing a few anons requesting Gisela/Pen and Blitz/Tara
>>25880106
>continues to not list a single pair
why must you do this
>>25880144
piles of feathers, got it
>>25880144
Or like you know the parents of the MC?
or Shellys parents.
Hell most of the pairings are good.
>>25880132
I thought Tara was in a relationship with that other artifact hunter? what happened to him.
>>25880164
Slutbat being a slut
I spent pretty much the entire latter half of yesterday working on this, determined to get it done before the actual day it's made for. Though it seems I missed my mark by about SEVEN HOURS, there's still about 16 or so left for it to remain timely, and that's good enough.
Merry Fucking Chrimsmufwhatever everybody.
>>25880164

>>25880291
Secret Club exists so QM's can circle-jerk each other and shit on players they don't agree with.
>>25880320
Well it's either that or heavy drinking.
>>25880320
I get its a meme but
>secret club open to all
>primarily used for mechanics discussion
>basically Gm meet n greet
>with the sole caveat of a name
I mean really
>>25880337
>basically Gm meet n greet
So yes a QM Circle-jerk
>>25880362
By that logic this place is a circlejerk for whispens and JADfags
>>25880320
The one and only complaint I have to my players is that theydon't exist.Nah, it's a joke. I'd just like some constructive criticism from time to time.
>>25880410
What quest do you run?
>>25880383
More than Whispen and JADfags post here anon.

He seems alright, but a little too /tg/ in his style for me, and with rather short and sometimes undescriptive posts. The one drawing he posted in the thread should also have been scanned, but that's personal prefrence on my part. Also, a couple of the posts seem to hand hold the players into a certain action, which I also dislike. All in all, he seems fine, but in the current saturation of CYOA, I'm unsure if it'll sink or swim.

What could possibly go wrong?
>>25881724
Most of the pull team are distracted.
Blitz is doing stupid stunds.
Floral is eyeing Blitz.
Dandy is staring at squishy/his hair.
Speed is focused on the reigns getting twisted by Blitz.
Anonguard is trying his best to contain his PTSD.
And Treads seems to be fucking insane.

I don't want a small mare, I want to be a small mare.
>>25882162
I don't know, but I'm asking anyway.
>>25882174
Can I brush your mane if you will become a small mare?

what would you do for your little mare anon? What would you want her to do for you? Would you make her wear objects to have her know that she is yours? Would you expect her tonuzzleyou upon your return?
>>25882722
I said what would you do her, but what I would do for her is a whole new matter.
I would give her love, hugs, sweet treats, attention, funny suits if she'd wish me to do so, free time for herself. She would be with me, but free pony, not a slave.
In return, I'd only ask forlove, happines and sense of purpose.

>>25883131
the robot pone thing?
>>25883136
N-no...
You have just had a tumble into a radioactive art store.
Somehow you have gained the power to draw anything you wish within thirty minutes every time.
You also are locked in a quarantine for two months, meaning you have a bunch of free time as well.
You have full internet access, and your choice of drawing tools or tablet or whatever you like.
And you have one goal. Produce the best art quest you can imagine.
What do you create?
>>25883345
I would simply draw some art for every single quest instead.
I just feel this is appropiate thing to do.
>>25883345
Foal quest.
>>25883345Cutie Clash
>>25883359
>tfw you will never be a top tier artist who draws for all the little guys
A-atleast 35 has started drawing other quests in his practice sheets, right?
I would ask about cross CYOA ships that didn't make it into Butt Touch Quest, hoping that maybe one of my favorite characters would make it back into the sexual pool of lewds, but then I remember that the CYOA pones that didn't make Hijacker's final list were omitted for a reason.Remember if your favorite CYOA pone wasn't on Hijacker's final list then they are a shitty pony that shouldn't breed.
All these feels itt and I cannot get shitfaced tonight because I'm completely broke.

>>25883512

>>25883837

>>25883345
Make the use of turbo-art skills to make a dark-adventure CYOA with heavy visual problem-solving and puzzle elements. Since I can art anything in 30 minutes, I go for high-detail environments in which being able to put together hints dropped across multiple pictures is key for success.
>>25883345
Create the greatest lewd quest ever
>>25884040
>ruining his seed with Stupid face's shitty genes
what a waste.
>>25884046
I think I would do this too.
Not having the stupid difficulty of everything being so dark we can't see or looking for a stray line of pixels on the left side of the image.
Detailed environments with actual visual clues in the image, and additional information in the text when necessary
>>25884030

Here's an alternate version more in the proper spirit of Holiday Special.
>>25880653
>Are you ever going to run another quest, SPES?
Absolutely. I had planned on doing something far sooner, until what was supposed to be a 1 month trip across the country turned into a 4 month one, leaving me generally unable to do much besides plan for the future. But the future is now, because I'm back in a questable location.
I'll try and get something started sometime in January, provided I can get my shit together by then and no other catastrophes strike.
>>25884154
>guardboard
>>25880256
This is why Tara shouldn't have a kid in Butt quest. Nobody would be capable of cumming inside.

Treads is a little cute and delusional horse
I'm sorry I haven't had a thread up this week. I expected Christmas to eat up my time, and I didn't want this huge pause mid-thread.
That said, how would you guys feel if I ran for a few days starting tomorrow? Unfortunately, I won't be home for like 3 or 4 days for New Years, so that would cut into the thread. The alternative would be that I start back up right after New Years.
Personally, I'd rather not have this hiatus in the middle of a thread, especially since we're nearing the ending. I would hate to pause for half a week in the middle of something big. But I've been feeling guilty about not running and not saying anything, so I wanted to know if you guys would rather I run between now and New Years, or start up afterwards.
