Yeeeah baby, work that grill.
>>27744601
Thanks Gimp
3rd for is vampony dead
I'll be posting this until I get every QM to actually add their MC(s) in there.
Every QM, or their dedicated artfag, or just a passerby who just happens to draw ponies.

Dirty Work: https://www.anonpone.com/dirty/
Sharp Catalog likes even numbers, organization, cleanliness and her platonic cuddle buddy slash roommate Tally. She is also likes having a job to alleviate her crippling debt, which is how she found herself working as a spy for the mob. She has to fight through her crippling anxiety and OCD tendencies to get the information they want or there'll be trouble in store for her. But at least her boss is pleasant.
As is the standard with Aight he writes fast and long with distinct characters no matter how small their part. The spelling isn't the best but doesn't take too much away from the story and the player commands integrate smoothly. There's no hint of non-existence syndrome. Prompts are routinely strong and there's a solid overall direction with quite a bit of freedom in how things are handled.
Aside from suggesting more proofreading, the only minor criticism I have is to let weak prompts slide if you wait long enough to get a reply to it. Adding a prompt and then replying to the one reply in the same post breaks the format. Which is more off-putting than just having that one weak prompt. Aight is the only QM I've seen do this to date.
Overall Dirty Work is a spy story with a SoL backdrop and does both well. And of course a cute MC prone to panic attacks. If you're interested in any of those, I'd recommend.
>>27744699
I support that, my labtop is broken, and I can't draw. But I still passively support that.
>>27744699
but what if I have multiple MCs
>>27744699
>>27744699
I've already made five arts today. I'll add someone tomorrow.
>>27744761
You gotta pick one.
>>27744761
>add their MC(s)
>>27744765
Only people who are remembered, please.
>>27744699
Let's try to get it to match.
>>27744761
Most important/frequenly used/representative MC of the CYOA
If multiple CYOAs, include them all I suppose
>>27744765
I chuckled
I guess I should have specified "MC(s) of active quests"
>>27744798
No, only one from each quest, I'm sorry, but for some reason I feel very strongly about that.
>>27744798
DRAWFAGS I SUMMON THEE. Do this for me pls
>>27744807
Oh wait, that's exactly what you said. I suck.
>>27744798

h-he's coming back right nipbros?
>>27744822
No. He's playing D&D right now. We've lost him forever.
>>27744819
If we're going by Anonpone then there's 27 active quests plus whatever haven't been added.
>>27744765
Who's Judas? That's the real issue. Who's betrayed Choosie. Someone who left for tumblr?

>>27744749
Thank you kindly Anon.
I need a full reference of zero from heart of iron
>>27745009
>check for art of DW on anonpone
>url spells "dirty fanart"Ironically there is very little lewd
>>27744765
>>27744780
>>27745024
Cyoa dosn't do reference sheets.
>>27744699
I already drew the main Choosie, would it be presumptious to add an MC from Curse as well? I figured it'd be kind of rude to fill it up with my art when I first drew it.
>>27745024
What are you planning?
>>27745077
No, do it, do it now!
>>27745077
Of course. Please add someone from Curse, seeing how it's a current quest that people remember and care about.
>>27745053
Who are you again?
>>27745077
That makes sense, but you should still do it. We will probably need the artfags to draw more than one character anyway, and Curse is probably one of the 12 most appreciated quests at the moment.
I guess put yourself far from choosie so that the resemblance is not too visible, but I wouldn't worry too much about that.
>>27745053
I know Spicy and a couple other people added characters the first time. Let me find those, maybe they can be added.
>>27745053
>>27745085To do the robutt justice
>>27745140
okay, I know the other guy was probably joking but I want to know literally who are the two humans in the pony quest lineup?
>>27745132
Well shit, I didn't save them, anyone else?
>>27745195
One is anon from Aw Shit nigga You In Ponyville
And the other is... I haven't a clue, actually
>>27745140
I cleaned it up a little.
>>27745195
Two very old quests. The QM for one of them keeps attention whoring here, trying to get people interested in his shit.
>>27745215
I noticed. It's irritating as fuck.
>>27745210
Please stop.
>>27745230
Stop cleaning the image?
>>27745246
He's just being a salty cuck.
>>27745246
Stop using the version that the attention whore added his own characters into a spot that already had characters drawn for it. Characters from current quests.
>>27745246
Cleaning it of what.
>>27745261
Oh
Could someone add the Aw Shit Nigga guy again?
>>27745207
It was drillfag, a (very very short lived) CYOA that had literally like 1 thread of art, then proceeded to attention whore everywhere, and especially on the vastly superior ASNYIP.
Thankfully it died pretty fast.
>>27745294
>1 thread
>>27745304
Stop, it doesn't get you anywhere.
>>27745262
Wasn't me, but artifacts (little squiggles and dots) pile up when you do this. You might not see most of them at first but they fuck up the image by the end.
I just come in here and all I see is salt, jesus
never knew you faggots could be so easily triggered
>>27745304
Maybe two.
You're still a fucking annoying faggot. I Wish ASNYIP guy was the one who came back.
>>27745324
yeah attention whores do that
>>27745324
>1 person is all of cyoag
Go back to v
>>27745332
Seconded on both counts.
>>27744668
Crystal Symphony is up
from the looks of it, newfags couldn't even afford the time of day to put in the level of effort that even one of the lesser OPs out there put out
it's like no matter what, you gotta hate a person
it's like back when mentioning or sharing a single johnjoseco image was taboo
it was stupid then and it's stupid now
>>27745339
Hey now, no need to be so rude.
>>27745377
/mlp/ sorta fizzled out over the past year, anon.
People have grown out of it, moved to /trash/ or taken up a new interest on some other board.
There are content creators here, but some of the shittiest of anons have remained.
>>27745395
Finally
>>27745377
>someone called me a faggot, now listen to me cry about it
>>27744765
>>27745053
>>27745140
>>27745210
I still say that we should do it this way.
>>27745420
Oh yeah. Epilepsy is the way to go.
>>27745377
I don't even understand why people are mad, especially at something like >>27745304. The art is decent and the quest looks interesting. He's not even attention whoring, just adding his MC to the table. Albeit, his placement of the character is certainly reminiscent of RITS, but not to the same degree.
>>27745377
I disagree completely. Quests seem much better to me now then they were a year or so ago. I don't know about level of effort put in specifically, but I definitely like it better now in terms of final product delivered. Both for text and art quests.
>>27745420
>drillfag was trying to take hiji's spot at the table
I have no words for how uneven a popularity contest that would be.
>>27745433
That one guy always sperged at Wolvan. People will sperg, getting his feelings hurt because he happened to be sperged at is retarded.
>>27745420
Having done a couple of these I've learned two things. It's first come first serve. If someone has a problem with the images that came first someone can trump it by making a new one, but not by simply complaining about it. It's the only way to get it done.
>>27745433
Anon, this is for an OP image. People complain all the time that they're full of dead quests, which was the whole reason we were going to make a new more current one based on the last supper.
Putting old dead quests on there defeats the purpose.
>>27745455
So the best way to go would be to add your new stuff on the original.
That way you could both merge everything into one big picture, or make an animation like that gif.
>>27745435
I do believe that the community for CYOAs has improved a lot over time. Even got it's own quest board here.
Also, tried nudging those two to the left.
>>27745472
People will complain anyway. I just like seeing a bunch of different styles side by side and semi-interacting.
>>27745472
but jesus died for your sins and he came back
>>27745433
This "art" is literally over 2 years old now.
The OP has never done anything with it ever since, except post it in other threads for attention
It's not "worth" mentionning.
>>27745476
Also it dosn' t hurt to announce what your doing ahead of time, to avoid issues like this. Just an Okay, I'm adding someone in John the Baptists spot, then hand it off.
>>27745539
>>27745539
I agree with everything you just said except for your usage of quotation marks.
>>27745519
See >>27745472
>>27745395
>not in front of everything
>>27745549
This might help, if we're not already doomed.
>>27745598
>if we're not already doomed
No, we're fine. Just make sure we leave room for Coltshan, Overlord, and RITS.
>>27745621
Okay, that one actually made me cringe a little.

Also 6000 plus Satan says I have too.

It is the hardest part, I do agree.
