Lets try to get some good stuff we haven't seen in a while. (Fresh is, of course, always welcome.)
Discuss your builds, don't be dicks, and havefun
>>43669676
Dropping a couple others from to get the thread started
>>43669699
I made a thing.
Honestly, I thought it would've been longer.You *could* roll for the stage + modifications if you want to be surprised

You done goofed.
rework of previously posted idea to see if this fixes some of the issues.

>Maie
>Not Xam
You're wrong, anon. Wrong and broken.
>>43669874
>Maie
>Handholding fetish
I'm sorry, but I can't not pick her. Also, she isn't just wearing power armour, she IS power armour.
Can I beinside her?
Urscha sounds cute, but you can't beat handholding
>Xam
>/fit/
Pick exactly one.
You should probably mention how old Pola is.
>>43670191
>having a slut waifu
pls anon
>>43670214
>Also, she isn't just wearing power armour, she IS power armour
It could really go either way anon. It could mean that she is just a weapon in her mind or she could actually be the robot suit. Let's just say she is both so we can both follow our penises.
>>43669874
Hedonist queen polyamorous waifu is best waifu.
>>43670099There aren't 14 months in a year, friend :^)
Hold on for a moment, I get to control the entire country of Denmark, plus the only part of Sweden that is good plus a shitload of eastern european countries?
Aw
Fucking
Yeah
>High tech 20
Because why in the world not? The others cost points and sure, they fuck up invading armies, but they also make living suck.
Can I pick several of how does this work?
>Stat change 18
+1 to INT
>Transformation 16
+ Lifespan
Kinda want to pick Krogan pre-sterilization, but that's obviously bullshit minmaxing.
Spend the rest on minions.
>>43670257
Oh I'll get Maie to open up all right, nom saiying?
Can you imagine riding into battle wearing your waifu? She's like a symbiote, except I can take her off and she doesn't violate every part of my being
>>43669921
I don't get it.
>>43669874
usually, you'd write something about there being a mystery box, not just randomly dropping it.
On second thought, there seems to be some nearly invisible text in the bottom right that I can't see.
Mind posting the text?
>>43669932
??? is perfect, thanks.
>>43670431
There's a sort of meme (I guess you can call it that?) on /cyoa/ that girls named Alice are randomly generated, after an infamous "girlfriend generator" which started a trend of sorts. The generator made nearly all aspects of the girlfriend random, except, weirdly, for the fact that she's named Alice. Hence the joke.
>>43669932
why would she eat my pet? It's a dog, not a human.
Honestly, I'd like the Devourer a lot more if you drop the
>lol she yandere
thing and just make her a seriously misunderstood girl that terrifies everyone because that's just how she is.
And you totally changed the way the CYOA works - I thought we were moving to the alien's planet? Or did I misunderstand something?
??? could also be fine. I hope she'll let me play the knight in shining armor coming to rescue the princess (her), or any other scenario e.g. we're companions on a quest and I slowly fall for her.
It would befun, since she can just temporarily make me forget that this isn't real.
>>43669874
Not gonna lie, Pola is pushing a lot of my buttons.
>>43669874
>pola best option

Welp
>>43670464
riiight.
I just imagine Alice as the type of rich, snotty, blonde girl that acts superior to everyone because of said richness and because she's the cheerleader/bangs Chad/whatevs.
A bubble head who's only worth is her tits and money.
>>43670257
>Not wanting the /fit/ hedonist wingwoman bang-roommate
It's okay though anon, I'll share.
>>43670629
Anon, she has zero gains to speak of. And if she moves in with me, which I assume is how this works, how does she even know any girls for you to meet?
Also
Maie > Xam >??? > Devourer > Pola > doesn't even matter
>>43669676
Manor, Alchemy Lab, Gold, Inspiration, Immortality, Ideal Form, Shapeshifting, Muscle, Monastic, and Waifu.
Forget ruling over a kingdom, or becoming some all-powerful wizard. I'll take a quiet eternity laying low and studying alchemy, with a partner just as immortal as I am, in a body that is, and forever will be, in peak human condition.
>>43669676

Plan is to use charisma to stir up unrest and turn key government figures against the current ruler. Most likely this will lead to an armed conflict, which is what the army is for. Once I've got control of the nation, we'll move on to empire-building.
>>43670863
Anon, don't think I've forgotten about you
http://pastebin.com/MAtcz4pm
>>43669874
Xam would be fun, but Pola is my type of girl for wife material.
So, someone on the same IP as me apparently earned a month-long ban. I wanted to post a minor update to this yesterday, but was unable to do so from my location. The changes are minor, but I wanted them out there.
>>43647140
>>43649894
Glad you like it.
>>43645832
Made some minor text changes. Most of them are just fluff or aesthetic. For instance, the Fey Resources Agent text no longer goes out of the box. A couple of things have modified wording or extra details, but the only real changes are:
Checkups now last 2 hours.
Fun Enforcer has mood-altering magic. This may seem like a concern to some, but consider that if it is altering your mood in a way you don't approve of, you won't be emitting feelings of gratification, so the power won't be abused.
Fey Resources Agent now mentions that being a fairy also gives you knife ears and bug eyes. I didn't have the space to explicitly mention it, but the transformation option cannot remove these traits.
>>43670099
Urscha fuckin qt
>>43671046
>the Fey Resources Agent text no longer goes out of the box.
yay
>>43671014
Indeed.
>>43670099
Are you ready for revolution?
And please, call me Comrade Leader.
I pick the hex that has lower ontario and the majority of the US eastern seaboard.
>20 - High Tech
How will we acheive full-communism if we can't strive for the singularity?
>15 - Construct: Massive supercomputer complex
This will make administering the economy just so much easier.
>11 - Strange New World
I alter the south-eastern portion of the hex to be much more flat/fertile prairie, and add some mountain ranges for defense/mining
>9 - Stat Change: +1 to intelligence.
We must build the revolution within!
>6 - Monolith: Monitor Effects & Retcon & Tweaking
Now we can prevent imperialist agitators from affecting our populace too much. Also we can speed up the withering away of the state, by going in and manually tweaking away capitalist leanings.
>5 - Crystal Ball: Conference calls
Diplomacy is ever important.
>0 - Minions: 10 Minions, Experts, Humanoid.
Where would we be without our inner council? Trained in theory, combat, economics, tactics, and all the things a man could hope for in the Party.

So basically I get a prime territory with sea access to set up my magi-tech university. The people and beast live in harmony and work with the town's industry. And all the while, I will be shapeshifting to keep an eye on my students to assure that they are keeping up with their studies...among other things I will be using my shapeshifting for....
I'm makin a super simple single page cyoa and I need some advice.
The first part is going to ask you to pick one option out the of five and I would like to know if any of the options might be too OP
Black: you lose your sense of smell, taste, and become color blind but any wounds you take is healed within minutes.
White: The elements do not effect you any more, your skin color become a pale purple. It's hard for you to feel anything anymore.
Blue: you'll need only water to survive, you can go on for days before taking a drink. You'll always feel refresh after you drink
But when you do need to drink, the thirst will force you to drink water. The thirst isn't a picky drinker, it will force you to drink any kind of water.
Pink: you become extremely weak will, increasing unsure of yourself and it's hard for you to speak.
But when you do speak people are moved by your words and feel the need to help you
You can pick two extra items
Last is Red: pick an extra weapon . . .
That's all I got for Red and I have no idea what I should do with this one
>>43672427
>It's hard for you to feel anything anymore.
Make the distinction if emotional or physical.
Otherwise peachy.
>>43672484
What would you do if I say both?
>>43670099
High Tech - 0
Constructs (Futuristic Transportation Factory) - 5
Strange New Worlds - 7
Transformation 3 - 10
Stat Change 2 - 14
Crystal Ball 3 - 17
Manor House - 18
10 Competent Minions - 20
I shall take the Hex that covers the midwest of North America. We shall start at our current technology level or higher if possible; and our Construct shall allow us to create a new transportation system based on Natural Gas, Fuel Cells, and any new advancements to counter our losses from being isolated from the world oil market. Additionally, I shall change the landscape to add more rivers and lakes to counter the decade drought cycle that tends to effect the midwest every few years.
As for my people, their changes shall be beneficial, if not radical. First up, appearances. Everyone 20+ shall be changed into what looks like a slightly androgynous 16 year old girl. In truth, everyone is now a fully functional hermaphrodite, and their outward appearance will change due to several factors. If someone acts aggressively masculine, their body will change slightly to add more muscle and height. If someone acts aggressively feminine, their body will slightly add more curves and mature female accents like fuller lips. Not extreme either way? No big change.
As for sex organs, the vagina is still in place, but the penis is actually hidden where the clit currently is. During intercourse, the penis can be brought out through stimulation. Instead of sperm, the body only produces eggs, but two eggs will combine to make life. If a partner is usually the "woman" during sex, their female sex characteristics will become more pronounced, such as larger breasts. If a partner is usually the "man" during sex, their male sex characteristics will become more pronounced, like a larger penis.
Other changes? Life span is now 200 years, but aging stops at adulthood (20 yrs old) with the exception of your last 5 years where aging becomes rapid. Also, short elf ears for everyone.
>>43672427
What kind of color blind, or do you mean you can only see black/white/gray?
The only option I would ever consider is Blue, and that can be countered easily by carrying around a bottle of water.
Even then, if it forced me to drink piss or toilet water, there are these cool filtration straws that at least remove the bad stuff in it
>>43672427
Blue has no downside as long as you carry a bottle of water with you.Pink has basically no downside because fa/tg/uys are already like that.
>>43672549
Also, blue doesn't state I cant just drink something every day to counter it. Or is "the thirst" not related to my body's thirst?
>>43672549
It might be black and white
I'll have to add "it will force you to drink a few gallons of water" but add "you can drink any kind of water without it harming you"
>>43672565
Not related to your own
>>43672560
You poor fat guys
>>43672599
Hypothetically speaking, what happens if there's literally no water anywhere near you? Like you're in the desert or something.
Also, if you're at sea, will salt water quench your thirst or will it only fuck you up worse like it normally does?
>>43669874
>>43669932
accidentally chose mystery box, ??? is the best choice. Feel free to read my thoughts "lets have more sex and create a new world" isn't such a bad thought.
>>43672542
Also add in higher regeneration for the changes.
For the stat boosts, half to intelligence and half to dexterity. Smarter and better hand skills will make up for the general lose of physical strength.
Finally, for my minions, they will be robots, designed to look like the current Japanese attempts at making human like robots. They will serve as my assistants and caretakers while I guide our people.
>>43672633
You're pretty much dead if you can find water to drink when the thirst comes
You can drink salt water but you'll be drinking salt water and may have to throw up the salt later
>tfw your CYOA's only get builds posted if they're blatant wish fulfilment with no consequences, or "here have a waifu"
Apparently you're only interested in an easy life with no worries and a 10/10 girlfriend who does everything you want and has the exact personality you want and has all the same fetishes you do.
Sometimes I hate the whole lot of you.
>>43672765
Aww, that's cute.
Don't worry, we hate you too, anonymous whiner.
>>43669874
Pola looks like the best option.
>>43672765
If someone god forbid, decides to create a build, taking harmful drawbacks, complications, penalties they can't circumvent or what have you, they'll either be bashed for being a filthy powergaming max/miner, or masochist with cries of "u ded"
>>43672427
Seems like most people are going to do blue. (Or red, if the downside on red is nonexistent.)
White seems particularly bad, since even if the elements aren't affecting you, if you ever accidentally step on some glass or something you're fucked.
>>43672560
No, when we speak now no one cares.
>>43672765
What're the odds that this guy's CYOA being nothing but illegible walls of sophistic horse shit?
>>43672427
At least there's no immortality option. That's already a step in the right direction.
>>43673051
It's either that or it's one of those where every option is equally terrible so nobody bothers to choose anything.
Then again those tend to get at least some interest as long as they're funny or interesting.
>>43672981
CIPA, bruh. You're gonna end up with a seven meter long tapeworm living happily in your gut.
>>43672427
>you become extremely weak will, increasing unsure of yourself and it's hard for you to speak
>>43672888
Fair point.
>>43673100
Like this?
>>43673142
Should I say you "you become a omega beta?"
>>43672981
Being force to drink a few gallons of water is going to suck if your drinking right out of something awful
Also gotta think of something for red
>>43673361
How many Kangashkhans are we talking about here?
Also, are they male, female, or a mixed batch?
>>43673361
Second
Let's get this over with quick.
>>43673100
>one of those where every option is equally terrible so nobody bothers to choose anything
These bug me too, especially because at least one maker has claimed their goal was an alternative to "wish fulfillments" CYOAs, with easy answers with no thought required. They missed the key point that if all options are atrocious, people are gonna think about their options much less and simply refuse all offers outright. They can be "comedy" CYOAs, sure, but don't expect anyone to seriously spend time picking between a "girl who gives you AIDS and shits in your mouth" and a "girl who's actually a serial killer guy who rapes you in your sleep"
>>43673381
According to Bulbapedia they're 100% female, so you have that. We're talking at least 100, though.
>>43673375
drinking "a few gallons of water" is going to straight up kill you.
>>43673361
Holy shit, I never made the connection between the two.
>>43673361
the second oneis my magical realm
>>43673422
But 100 females rapeing you at once donsen't make sense as your erection can handle only so much.
>>43673485
You have other bodyparts for them to play with though.
>>43673420
To be honest, I'd pick the serial killer.
>>43673485
>>43673485
They're pumping you up with viagra, keeping penis pumps ready, and rubber banding your dick. Also probably using strap ons. They're very resourceful pokemon gang rapists.
>>43673525
I think we should get to know each other.
>>43673540
So you can rape me in my sleep?
>>43673555
If you're lucky, sure.
>>43673603
I'm not very lucky.
>>43672522Seems a bit life destroying.
>>43670022
I assumed most people would either find her boring or find the whole robo-thing unappealing.
>>43670431
It says, "What are you looking over here for? The girls are to the left, you know that right? Or did you not like any of them? ...Well, there are two other girls, but im not sure if they are right for you..."
>>43670466
I dont really see how Devourer is "yandere" except for the part where it says she likes looking at you. Most of what you probably think is her being yandere can be chalked up to her being a crazy demon hell beast thing.
Also, i'm probably going to change it so it says that you can either move to their planet or have them move to earth.
>>43669756
I feel like the sponsors are not worth taking for a piddly 1 point. They're all terrible. Otherwise an interesting idea/layout.
>>43669932
??? is by far the best girl
>>43673720
I honestly couldn't even see the text. I just thought you had planned to include one more girl, then you forgot to make the image smaller.
>yandere
The part about eating any girl that's too close to you, as opposed to just eating whoever.
With a little rewriting, I'd love her: I really, really do love that last line. She just wants to feel loved... doesn't anyone, even a people-eater, deserve that?
>>43672427
>>43672688
None of these are appealing at all. I'll pass thanks.
>>43672427
I think the main problem with this is a lack of context. None of these are appealing in a normal-day context, but if it's something like "you're teleported to a random inhospitable murderworld and have to survive for X days" then all of them have at least some merit.
>>43669932
they're both so very CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!
Devourer's innocent love and ???'s willingness to please, I can't choose.
I think ??? win's by just a tiny bit though, barely passing the finishing line.
>>43674086
I envy your ability to get so excited about 2d girls performing comically superficial displays of affection.
It just reminds me how desensitized and dead I am.
>>43669676
Desert (260 sq. mi), Hovel
Monastic, Summoning, Zombies, Illusion, Geomancy, Dominion, Shapeshift, Lich, Inspiration
>>43674228
Anyone but me notice notice how there is a 100% chance that a person using the word superficial is an asshole?Yes, this includes me right now
>>43674415
No, but I have noticed that people who start sentences with stuff like "does anyone but me notice..." or "am I the only one who..." are without exception completely insufferable.
>>43674228
Anon, let me tell what I'm gonna do after this cyoa.
Tonight, after washing my forehead and brushing my teeth and browsing 4chan until 2 in the morning I'm going to get in to bed. I won't just get into the bed, I will crawl to the side of the bed which borders the wall and force as much contact between my naked body and the cold chipped paint in order to simulate the touch of a partner.
Immediately after getting comfy I'll start imagining ??? or any other cute 2D girl of the thousands I know and I'll start to work up a story that includes me and her meeting face to face. I'll start with our first encounter, awkward laughter and obvious flirtation (all of this will cause my irl heart to beat wildly by the way) and the subsequent dating period. I'll imagine in detail a variety of touching and intimate moments shared between the two of us which are in no way sexual because I get off way more on the idea of being wanted by another person than I do on pure physical attraction.
Anyway, during this entire time I might actually cry from the gestalt of despair and delusional happiness. Only after I imagine ourselves happily married and with children will I begin to masturbate. It will last thirty seconds and end in a sock whereupon it will fall off the side of the bed and never be heard from until I run out of socks.
After this moment has passed I will black out instantly and fall into a formless sea of nothingness until waking up at six.
Don't envy me Anon.
>>43674620
If you remove the masturbation, the emotions and the falling asleep part, that sounds like what I'm about to do now.
Except I lie awake for 3-4 hours before what you described.
Please sent some kind of brain killer. I just want to not think for just one night.sorry for trying to play "yeah, but I'M MUCH WORSE
>>43674620
>>43674712
At least you two can still FEEL something, all my favorite porn, waifus and masturbatory fantasies just don't seem to elucidate any kind of response whatsoever.
>>43674620
>>43674712
>>43674228
>>43675072
today's /cyoag/ is a tad bit more pathetic than usual.i'm not helping
>>43675072
>waifus
I think I found the problem, you cheating scumbag.
>>43675072
The hell are you talking about? I don't feel, I just can't shut off my brain.
>>43675118
Oh fuck off. I've contributed plenty.
>>43669932
Im stuck between devourer or vatryllal, Wife and Undivided love or Wife Undivided love and A weapon. Its tough.
>>43674712
>>43674620
how do yu keep your drem waifu from rejecting you? Even in my daydreams, I'm not good enough to make someone want me.
>>43675152
no anon, im not bitching about a lack of content, im saying that we are literally being very pathetic. this is basically r9k right now.
>>43675220
>this is basically r9k right now
If you take away CYOAs and the autism, that's essentially what we are.
>>43675252
So CYOA threads should move to /r9k/?
>>43675339
why not, I've seen some proto-cyoa over there once in a blue moon
>>43675339
it would turn into only waifu cyoas and shitty wish fulfillment. i know thats what cyoag is mostly, but the quality would probably have a sharp downward spiral and there would be zero normal cyoas ever again. and the threads would become full of bitching about which waifu is better. etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
>>43675220
When has cyoag ever been anything but pathetic? Most CYOA's are about getting powers, getting friends or a loving girlfriend, or exploring a different, exciting world
I'm sure there's at least one thing I forgot somewhere. Oh well.
Link to image version in document.
>>43675252
Wait, robots don't have autism? Is that right?
>>43675424
So exactly nothing would change except a new user base?
>>43675424
>I know that's what cyoag is mostly
You do realize that nothing is stopping you from making your own grimdark cyoa of ultimate gritty realism, right?
>>43675510
/r9k/ is normie shitposting central right now, it's real bad over there since the Oregon shooting popularized it.
>>43675518
that's not my thing, im a faggot.
>>43675510
They don't, they're just incredibly lonely and pathetic betas, all projecting and compensating.
>>43671046
Tough choice between the Economic Fairy and the Health Fairy. (I actually know someone who played a character called "Health Fairy") I think I'll have to go with the economic fairy though.
Honestly, as long as something is made back in the investments, it'll be awesome.
>>43675608
So nothing would change?
>Elf
> + Will turn you into pretty elf boy, tie you up with magic vines, and stud you out to other women
> - Wants you to raise chilluns
Almost perfect, but I'm terrible with kids.
>>43675601
Nut up or shut up, faggot
>>43675729
You'd get used to it. Most parents feel the same way and they do fine.
>>43675713
But with more dank memes and normies.
>>43675729

Yes please
>>43675870
I still really hope someone who knows how to meme will make a normie CYOA, using only pictures of feel guy and le green frog.
I've begun making a CYOA that's really four CYOA's interconnected, I'm just wondering which to focus on first:
Waifu CYOA
Wish fulfillment #1 or #2
Or what will be a mix between waifu and wish fulfillment
In the end it won't matter which is made first, but I imagine I will work harder on the first ones
>>43676136
My question to you is how are you going to make your waifu and wish fulfillment CYOAs stand out from the rest?
>>43675197
Oh, that's easy.
In the dream, I'm not me.
>>43675485
anon must die is too easy because all of my magical realms are masochistic
>>43676207
Aren't most of the people who do that dumb cyoa masochists though
>>43669874
Xam, Xam, Xam, 1,000 times Xam.
Workout buddy, fuckbuddy, awesome wingman. I can overlook her shit taste in video games. I can probably at least get her into fighters. Monogamy is overrated.
>>43669932
The problem with ??? is I tend to have erratic random borderline schizophrenic thoughts that I don't really mean or are the opposite of what I actually feel, and the idea that someone might be able to read my thoughts is a legit phobia of mine.
So KNOWing she could read my thoughts at any time would make that shit way worse. Either I would not be able to stop myself from thinking something that pisses her off, or one of my random-ass thoughts is overheard and taken seriously, so when I have a thought like "Hmm... I wonder what being crushed to death in a trash compactor feels like" I might actually find out.
Devourer will probably get caught eventually on earth, you'd be totally fucked as her accomplice. Enjoy your CIA interrogations.

Occasionally, a depression forms in the ocean, which eventually leads to a large air bubble magically floating down (carrying whatever didn't get out in time) and attaching itself to the sea floor. Similarly, a bubble attached to the seafloor occasionally floats up to the ocean surface. If there's something heavy enough inside a bubble (like a city), it anchors the bubble down - though enough may break off to keep the air fresh.
The bubbles can be slowly penetrated (or a section pinched off) with effort, but they seal back up almost immediately after.
>Preset 10
Are monstergirl-style merpeople available? Them. Failing that, even more Stat Changes.
>Transformation 9
~50% mix of humans and merpeople, with codominant cross-reproduction (Monstergirl (MM) + Human (HH) = 'classic' mermaid (MH))
If that can be included for free in the 'preset' feature, then

I'd mostly just hang out in my house, transforming whoever wants to spend a while as a dude/chick/human/mermaid/etc into one, and arbitrating the really big decisions.
The bubbles allow for personal transportation fairly easily, but warfare is impeded just enough to make it not usually worth the trouble.

Then tell Devourer-Chan she doesn't need to hide her true form from her and you'll love her for what she is. Then you get the exact opposite of a human-like waifu.
I don't recommend doing that, but hey, it's your life.

I can expand the image but the text is shitty at larger sizes due to not being scaled correctly in creation. He obviously doesn't know how to make an image based pdf and was offered help but refused it.
The pages are not set to paper size.
The overall image pages vary in size, causing resizing to mess with the text making it harder to read and look poorly done.
Also on the original that orange text on grey backgrounds is very hard to see and should be a different color or have some effect like a drop shadow applied to it so it stands out.
>>43678767

You're also not having sex with your friends though. Presumably.
>>43669874
Xam, easy choice. I already have a girlfriend, but an awesome friend and workout buddy who can get us into the best parties and score us alien drugs? I could sure as hell use one of those in my life.Also, I bet she'd be amazing in a threesome.

You did good anon. I'm proud of you.
>>43675485
Hey slutlife anon, I had some feedback for you if you're interested. Posted it a couple of threads back but not sure if you got it.
***
Prosthetics (from amputee), clarify if these are modern level or SciFi. Would they provide sensory feedback? Interaction with cybernetic limbs option from 'do the evolution'?
Cybernetic limbs/brain could use a little more detail, and possibly a full android body option? (Would cost a lot, but include other options like homeostasis and not eating)
Clarify if first set of genitals are free. Are futas allowed for free or cost 10pts to add a penis to a female?
Why do extra knockers add points while dongs and nuts cost points?
Maybe split the body modification section into fetish and upgrade subsections.
IMO 10 points for fresh cherry is too much, also merge with repair bots option.
Dungeon and prison cell are brutal, comparable to the nastier punishments, maybe have them give points and have a few tiers of basic apartment at 0-15 pts
Introduce a 'bring the family' option! 0pts suboption of significant other, instead brings any existing spouse and kids. Requires apartment, kids have similar restrictions to those born on the show.
Introduce a 'slut life is its own reward' option, no million bucks or any other reward allowed for +25 pts or so.
>>43682054
Incidentally, great cyoa, inspired me to make my own. I like making the text version available first btw, though I know that's a minority opinion here.
***
Introduce a 'was it all a dream?' reward, time travel back to pre-slutlife time and location, optionally retaining the Slut Life body but no owners or possessions except cash rewards.
Personal library, suggest 1 pt per 10 books as it has to compete with the communal library and/or having a cellphone to read ebooks.
Spankings and enemas are fairly intrusive, should give more points IMO.
Jobs could use a little blurb about spending your salary/allowance. If you choose 'outside' and have some money and free time, can you just buy a cellphone, clothes, nice food etc without paying points? This would seem to violate the spirit of the game, but what's the point of making money otherwise? Just to add it to your reward post-game?
Maybe add a blurb about punishments being chosen for you to cover the point cost of your job if you get fired or quit.
Enable part time work? Half hours, pay and points gained.
The job 'Donator' option should double (or +50%) points gained from your jobs, up to a maximum of 20 pts total.
>>43682074
Anyway hope it's of some use, if not no worries. Had fun either way.
>>43682102
Sjofn will never be anything other than the best choice.
>>43682141
This anon gets a gold star.
>>43682141
>nonstop meddling from other deities
Nah.
>>43682141
Gotta suck to take her out on a picnic, in a nice quiet spot, and right when you get to the good part a god of war pops out yelling at her to marry him.
>>43682141
>Sjofn will never be anything other than one of the worst choices.
FTFY
>>43679974
She just doesn't believe in marriage or exclusivity. She lives with you, respects you, enjoys your company, and wants you to be happy. To that end, she bangs you senseless and shares everything with you --including her fit catgirl friends. Living on a planet with drug-fueled nubile-neko-orgies, exclusivity seems like a sub-optimal choice.
>>43682102
>>43682140
Needs more New World mythology, I propose Sedna:
>Mortal girl who couldn't pick a suitor, dad sold her to a random hunter for a bundle of fish
>hunter was actually mischievous bird spirit
>she tries to escape but pisses a bunch of spirits off
>falls in the ocean, loses her fingers trying to crawl up into a boat
>her rage and desperation boils the waves and ascends her to godhood
>her fingers become sea mammals
>tribes have to send down a shaman to comb her hair and calm her down a little if they want to hunt
Like maybe the Goddess-to-Mortal site will help her find a man who isn't an evil spirit in disguise, if they can put up with her anger issues
>>43682627
Lovecraft is technically New World since it was created in North America, but what we need for is more abrahamic stuff.

Oh god this.
I'm not afraid of hating her if she's as pleasing as she's supposed to be, but if I know that one of the stipulations is that she'll hate me for thinking bad things then I'm going to end up thinking bad things on the principle and not because I want to.
Can you explain to her that humans don't have free control of their thoughts and that not all of them are meant to be real or honest? Other than that she's perfect though.
>>43682102
>>43682140
Mors.
There's something about her that i can't quite not like.
>>43683564
-Death incarnate.
-Beautiful, immortal, and pale.
-Fragile and sick.
-When she reaps your soul, she won't follow through with her job and keep you next to her.
-You like having slow, gentle sex with cute sickly girls.
>>43683744
If she's a 9/10, is fun to be around and share my hobbies and a lot of my opinions, having a single point of disagreement would be literally no problem at all. I couldn't care less, I'd just agree to never talk about it.
>>43683725

>>43682592
>She lives with you
It doesn't say or imply that.
Regardless, it seems I could take her training and use it to find someone to pair off with. Not sure why that's what I want, but it is.
>>43683725
She's not sick though, it doesn't say that.
>won't follow through with her job
I'm pretty sure this is a special situation with special considerations applied.

>>43682818
It's subjective. Some people would dump goddesses like Frigg down to don't dick tier because they have been married before.
>>43683808
I just wont talk about it. She can bring it up every day but I will literally just skip conversation.
It'd be a great relationship.
>>43683725
Alas she will scare away most of your friends.
>>43675729
I never know which one to pick for this.
>Artificer
Learn magic, hot and experimental waifu, intelligent, not just hot but has a personality? Say what?
But the lack of physical activities worry me (no guarantee of staying that way, I guess), and going without the waifu for days whenever she gets a whim? Not promising, but not a deal-breaker.
>Knight
Martial skills waifu with a heart of gold, who will train me in how to become a sword-wielding badass? Fuck yes. Tsundere, but isn't super-shy after confessing feelings and who is still strong (and dominant in the bedroom)? FUCK YES.
Emotionally distant most of the time, and extremely serious? Probably not great, in either short-term or long-term.
>Dark Elf
Awesome summoner magic, exotic, and mix of dom/sub loves? Check, check, and check. Pic looks a bit odd, wants a big family, and no unique personality traits? Check, check, and check. Mixed bag at best.
>The Elf
Sexy, fucking sexy, sexier? Damn right. And get to be a kickass elf that lives for centuries and fucks every living creature related to her. Buuuut you're a second-class stay-at-home-Dad. Not appealing for hundreds of years. On the plus side, hopefully won't have kids for hundreds of years, just ONE hundred or so.
>Drider
Just too risky. Appealing aspects but too much possible boredom to risk it.
>>43684069
>Monster Girls
FUCK YES. Fuck yes... wha?
Love the harpy. Naga looks weird, but is otherwise pretty promising. Scylla? Nope-ing on out of here. Escaping with the harpy seems like a great path though, if she's not very ditzy.
>Succubus
Just pure awesome. If she had a guaranteed likable personality (and was a choose-able option instead of random) this would be #1.
My only worries are, are you actually immortal (since she could control your soul after you die)? Or do you still age/die/pass on like normal? Otherwise, demon-husband who can learn awesome magical abilities? Fuck to the yes.
>Fey creature
Once again, great if it wasn't random, except: Her love can be terrifying? I'm not down for the yandere. Otherwise a woman who could be any woman and who could make me anything (including little girls, according to the not-at-all-subtle-text) would be borderline perfection.

>God tier
There's something wonderful about Gods being placed in God tier
Except Nyarloholopolotep is pretty great
>>43682818
>>43682102
>>43682140
God Tier:
-Nut. A bit close to Good Tier for not having anything super jump out, but she loves all my favorite hobbies and a couple extra, plus she's very attractive and happy just to be with you. Plus, very sexually open.
-Nyx. Very appealing, on all aspects, and extremely attractive. If Erebus' actions prove extremely dangerous, may need to be bumped to Good tier (if they're almost certainly lethal, Uh-Oh).
-Minerva. Basically a +1 Athena (don't tell her I said that). Playing first-string emperor instead of advisor, learning amazing magic, and an extremely loving wife who doesn't back down. Fuck yes.
-Hastur. I'm surprised to find that a Great Old One made it to this tier. She's actually pretty sweet; she seems legitimately into making sure your relationship works and that you're happy. A life of travelling existence, seeing everything you want and experiencing it with someone irrefutably in love with you? Absolutely.
-Inari Okami. Let me sum it up: Kitsune sexiness, godly libido, the ability to basically form and run your own country, near infinite funds, and great alcohol. It's a kink... but the Kitsune status pushes this above and beyond. If she were just a little more interesting as a person, I would make Inari her own Tier.
>>43684602
-Sjofn. Great waifu material. Very high levels of love and care, the ONLY negative aspect (besides the duels, which don't seem to bother you much) is the possibility you can't reciprocate her affection in equal measure because you can't guarantee you'll enjoy or partake in her own hobbies.
-Nctosa & Nctolhu (ALMOST Good Tier because of their unpredictability, but God Tier because of twincest and loving nature).
-Mors. Holy shit. Beautiful, pale, eternity together, and a likelihood of being quite open to anything (bedroom and otherwise) make her amazing. A few negatives very balanced out by huge positives and a vibe I get that she's actually a terrific person.
-Bastest. Like Inari, very nearly her own category. Catgirl with sex turned to 11 and yet having enough other aspects (curiosity, world exploration, festivals, protection, whimsy and entertainment) to make her appealing almost universally. 11/10.
Good Tier:
-Izanami (God Tier, but with a true form that most can't honestly say is attractive, and the consequences of such).
-Artemis (God Tier, but with Zeus' demanding nature and her semi-narrow personality... plus no vaginal sex, EVER, as her husband no less).
-Frigg (God Tier, but with extremely limited sex life).
-Athena. Very beautiful, but I find myself hesitant on her appearance for reasons I can't explain. Probably not QUITE feminine enough. Also I feel like it would get old doing SO much for others. Other than that, awesome. Battles of wits with other Gods/Goddesses of Knowledge sounds pretty amazing with one already in your corner.
>>43684607
-Tiamat. Deity status, plus awesome bedroom activities and huge attraction? Kickass. BARELY avoids God Tier by being overall lazy and a bit boring outside of sex.
-Freyja. Clingy, but not to obsessive levels, just to enough to make you feel bad. Also not much detail on her personality aside from clinginess, but if you enjoy being a king, God Tier easily.
-Hathor. SO close to God Tier, but stubbornness combined with loving one position promises long-term dissatisfaction in some aspects.
-Isis. Very, very close to God Tier. Like, a hair away. But she doesn't seem to have many interests of her own (besides researching new interests, and no guarantee she'll like yours), and it's very clear that you'll die and lose her one day, unlike other Godesses where it's questionable.
OK Tier:
-Hera (God Tier, but with yandere-jealousy cranked to 11).
-Nike. Same problems as Athena... that much drive would get boring if you weren't an actual God of Victory. Entirely too much effort over dozens/hundreds of years. The fact that she overlooks defeat if you give it your all ALMOST bumps her up to Good, though.
-The Triple Goddess. Great in theory, messy in practice. Planning dates would be a hell on earth that could basically null the benefits of having three wives that have a -1 level of jealousy.
-Astraea. Very attractive but not sure on how Virginity, Innocence, and Purity will mix in a long-term relationship. Also worried about level of effort for humanity's Golden Age. She could otherwise be God Tier with ease.
-Hestia. A bit dull and very old-fashioned. Well-fleshed personality and awesome life goals keep her out of the Uh-Oh Tier.
-Selene. I wish I could put her higher as she seems cool, but for the most part nothing draws me to her. Nothing against her, really, as some thing seem awesome... but she doesn't have anything for me specifically, I guess.
>>43684613
Uh-Oh Tier:
-Ba'laat Gebal. Fairly boring, beautiful (but so is everyone on this list), and not matching up a lot in the bedroom.
-Nyarlathotep. Unpredictable forms (some of which have a dick)? Check. Utter despair and madness? Check. The only reason she isn't RUN! Tier is because she (seemingly) lets you choose your sexual preferences, and I assume that continues after all humanity dies, and that eventually after you recover from your grief you will live out eternity with her.
-Epona. Love horses or GTFO, I guess.
-Yidrah. Vague benefits and nothing TOO promising regarding affection. Avoids RUN! Tier by being extremely attractive, loving, and seeming pretty normal.
-Demeter. No offense but this section is poorly written and leaves a lot of riskiness to even attempting to choose her.
RUN! Tier:
-Eris. Probably Good or even God tier, except for the part about bringing natural disasters and legendary creatures into the bedroom. PROBABLY non-lethal(?) but terrifying to imagine the limitless things a Goddess of Chaos could do that you could never prepare for.
-Shub-Niggurath. Just plain mysterious (in a creepy way). And borderline comatose for days after sex? For most, that probably means forever comatose. No real benefits aside from waifu status.
>>43684697
A cyoa only needs to be interesting to be successful, and
there's nothing more interesting that World War 2 battles and anime waifus.
>>43684697
Absolutely not.That being said, people making 'power rankings' of their waifus is a bit cringey. I feel like I'm getting a little too much insight into what sort of stuff they like.

No?
Has it ever been different from that? Hell, this thread has forced my CYOA into a completely different direction, just so people will at least read it.
>>43684766
it isn't the waifu boat if there aren't 100 sweaty fa/tg/uys arguing about which waifu is better, and then circlejerking when they come to the conclusion of who is the best waifu.
>>43684777
Which one was yours.
>>43684791
one that hasn't been posted yet. I just wrote down ideas for it, then I noticed how the only CCYOA's that ever get any posts are just waifu shit, so I need to change it if I want replies.
>anti-anime fags angry that their five hundred page meticulously worked on cyoa will never be as popular as a ten minute hastily scrapped together assortment of themed waifus.
This is great.
>>43684833
I do all variety of CYOAs. If you have enough, post what you've got; I'd love to give comments. I focus on waifus because those are the ones that tend to have the most to them; they focus on character development and making you actually think about whats important to you rather than "Would you rather be Superman, or Batman?" kind of CYOAs.
>>43684854Seven deadly sins:
• Lust (desire for wealth, fame, power, love), gluttony (overindulgence, selfishness) ,
• greed (desire only for material wealth, hoarding, being a jew),
• sloth (laziness, both physical and spiritual, not ‘doing things one should do e.g. poor parenting or neglect’),
• wrath (rage, anger, destruction and violence, revenge and hatred inwards e.g. suicide),
• envy (want what others have),
• pride (belief you are better than others, never complimenting or acknowledging others, admiration of self, boasting about yourself).
White horse: Conquest/Victory
Winning arguments. Winning friends, lovers etc., or just have someone fall for you and thus “conquer their heart”. Acquiring wealth from others such as in a gamble.
Associated with greed and lust.
Red horse: War
Slaughter and death. Pain and destruction. Strife and conflict. Civil war.
Black horse: Famine
Drive up prices – damage economy and stocks. Food, emotions, money. Increase socioeconomic disparity.
Pale/Ghost horse: Death
Death, disease, depression. Remove joy.
All I've written, just summing stuff up and making sure -I use the right words.
Dont wporry, there's a lot more
It was going to be a "you can help the four horsemen", but like >>43684839 said, there's no point in not appealing to the lowest common denominator:
Fat people with no chance of ever getting a girlfriend being rewarded with one, for no reason, free of charge. Pure wish granting.
>waifus force you to think
funny, i think it's the opposite: Waifu bait is just finding the girl that's close to perfect, or not taking any. Theres no challenfe, no thought provoking.
>>43684889
The only picture i have so far that i like, is this
>>43684889
>funny, i think it's the opposite: Waifu bait is just finding the girl that's close to perfect, or not taking any. Theres no challenfe, no thought provoking.
See the thing that makes them cool to me (when they're well done) is making waifus at least sort of unique from generic "Loving/Childish/Tsundere/Yandere/Sexual" archetypes and adding things that make you evaluate your own preferences.
For instance, do I want the loving, adventurous archer who is extremely sickly and I may end up caring for between our adventures? Or do I prefer the chivalrous knight who has a difficult time showing emotions and is bound by oath to serve her Lord, no matter the cost or consequence? What about the demon who seeks power and could betray you at any moment, but generally seems quite friendly as long as you entertain her?
Those are obvious fairly cliche, but what I mean is a balanced archetype of waifus who actually come with real drawbacks and pluses. The "Harem Master: Lucky Bride!" CYOA (despite its name) seems like one of the better ones in this aspect, honestly. Especially since they have random personalities each time you roll.
You didn't really clarify what you were going for here, but it looks like it could be cool. Overall my only warning is that Seven Deadly Sins are really, really commonly done; Four Horsemen are much less so, though, so kudos for that and good luck with your CYOA!
I'm working on my own CYOA that mixes Waifus with personal gain and adventure, which is exactly the kind of thing I love. "Do you want your perfect Waifu who is probably not going to be useful, or a better chance of living to enjoy the rest of your companions?"
>>43684889
Why would anyone not pick the first horseman? We already try to do what he requests every day of our normal lives. I honestly don't see a lot of appeal in going for War, Famine and Death...
>>43684889
>>43684943
Also wanted to say I agree with this guy. I would add in bonuses for each; Death makes you Immortal/Famine makes you not crave anything (including sex, though)/War makes you extremely powerful. More unique bonuses than that obviously.

Let me level with you, as a waifufag I fucking love interesting cyoas with lots of complicated power dynamics and items and pretty pictures and mid-length descriptions that let me wildly imagine how things are, but I value almost too highly companions and if a CYOA doesn't have them I almost won't look at it without having something else of equal worth.
Do the companions have to be exclusively cute girls? No, I like it when the companions list has a nice mix of male and female, but I'm not gonna lie and pretend I don't choose inferior companions just because they're girls sometimes.
The worst thing however is when a cyoa is fun and interesting and has great male companions but all the female ones are about as interesting as wet towels. It shows that the creator understood that people would choose girls on the principle of waifufaggotry but instead of making interesting males to compensate, he chose to make annoying and boring female characters to even the playing field.
I'll always choose at least one female companion, but after that it's just choosing which is more fun and which suits the cyoa the best.

I had a long post that got deleted
tl;dr
sins are just added because some are associated with the Horsemen
You should know now people will pick the perfect waifu and skip the adventuring - this place is filled with psychos that think murderous yanderes are perfect and that they'd never even think of speaking to anyone but her.

No. Absolutely not.

What's the source for the "everybody" owner image?
>>43685006
Well, short of just NOT completing the CYOA, that was the point of mine. I plan on making it a sort of RNG hell - you choose a level of comfort you'd like to achieve, basically ("Mercenary", "Hero", "Champion" were my three original ideas, representing someone barely making a living, someone who can splurge most days, and someone who has everything they've ever wanted) and then get enemies/rivals/quests/bosses based on your decisions. The easier the quests, the less you're rewarded, but the less Roll-playing and the more role-playing you can do. The harder the quests, the more you will receive at the end... but the more you have to sacrifice choices in companions' personalities and likability for choices in function and usefulness.
In other words, unless people outright ignore the rules of the CYOA (in which case I don't particularly care about them or how they choose in it), choosing "perfect waifus" over "Awesome but realistic" waifus is a part of the game and meant to come with heavy drawbacks when the dice hit the table.
>>43685006
Why not? It's a pretty reasonable reward, I think, assuming you give it pretty drastic drawbacks (not being able to touch a living being without killing it, having to reap your loved ones when the time comes, never being able to taste food or enjoy sex again). Or more mission-based, killing innocents whose time has come and suffering immense physical/mental torture.
Unless those weren't your intentions.
>>43684966
>add companions
I see your point, it's just somme CYOA's just can't have companions logically.
I do think it's sad that you ignore a CYOA because it doesn't have one thing. That's almost on the level of people not reading a cyoa because it doesn't have a little girl option.
>>43685086
As an adventurefag on the opposite side of the spectrum, I honestly agree wholeheartedly with >>43684966 in a weird, bizzarro-sort of way. If a CYOA can make me a care for a character described in under a paragraph enough for me to waifufag, power to them. At the end of the day, the companions you travel with shape the adventure just as much (if not even more) than your personal skills and abilities do. I still prefer the BroQuest format massively over the "Pick a Superpower" ones.
That being said, though, I still like for the focus to be on something more than "choose the best girl". Knowing you have to work with your companions (and possibly waifu) as an effective team just gives the characters you choose that extra layer of depth...

>43685130
I love this one. The only thing I DON'T like off the top of my head is the modern setting, and that's personal preference.
>>43685066
Because you and I both fucking know people are going to pick the girl that grants them immortality - even if the apocalypse happens in 50 years and it's pointless.
That's what happens every time immortality is an option.
>>43685164
If the drawbacks are severe enough I tend to... but I can concede that many would choose immortality.
>>43684889
Shit man, at the rate you're going, I would've ignored your CYOA less because of waifu bullshit and more because it would've reminded me of your constant bitching. Holy shit. Make your CYOA, cut the waifus, post it. If you hate the waifu bullshit so much why are you compromising what you want to actually make? Are you making it because you actually enjoy doing so or because you want attention from people you apparently don't even like? You complain about people preferring wish fulfillment over a challenge... and instead of going against the mold, you're fitting yourself right in while yelling at other people for doing so as well.
>>43685164
>>43685066
I think immortality and multiplayer options are among the worst things in a cyoa.
Immortality is bad because it pretty much means that no matter how inefficient, no matter how little sense it makes in regard to the rest of the options, everybody is going to force themselves to choose it. Why wouldn't they? Dying is scary even in hypothetical situations, but the amount of leaps needed to get it often ruins the experience.
Only exception is when the cyoa gives it as a baseline instead of an option.
Multiplayer options suck because they inherently demand that people try to act objectively about wish-fulfillment, fuck that.
Another thing is options that allow you to get more points than you already have, but by doing actions that would logically happen after you finish the cyoa. I don't mean extra points a la "You suffer headaches and get +5 points" I mean the "Using your powers to save children gives you 1 point each"
Shit man jsut give me my points and choose the things I want and not take the things I need to sacrifice in exchange for the things I want, don't dangle infinite points in front of me or give me the option to buy more things after finishing the cyoa.
But the absolute worst thing is multiplayer that gives you powers/points for killing other players, how fucking infuriating.

>>43685188
No, anon. They always pick the fucking immortality option. Like they always pick the yandere gf with the logic of
>b-b-but I don't neeeed anyone else.
>b-b-but it's okay for her to kill someone I don't know, so long as I get a hot girl that loves me

Economic fairy is crazy. In 25 years, even if you never invest a single cent beyond the 100k required to pay the fairy back, you'd have 67 trillion dollars which is more than entire amount currently in existence, even taking into account inflation you'd only need 26 years to have every last dollar.

Just because you add a stutter effect doesn't make it any less correct.
>>43685194
>and instead of going against the mold, you're fitting yourself right in while yelling at other people for doing so as well.
now THAT's an implication if I've ever seen one. What makes you think I haven't tried?
i like making waifu cyoas because it makes me feel good to see people getting happy about imagining if those characters i've created exist.
>>43685320
I like making waifu cyoas that subvert expectations.
>>43685335
When it says Dennis the Menace, which one are we talking about here? One is out for innocent fun but causes problems all the same; the other is a vicious little delinquent who bullies the effeminate posh boy down the road.
>>43685290
I suppose I just assumed that someone who had their CYOAs ignored and blamed waifu CYOAs for it would've done something other than contribute to the problem.
>>43685320
You are too pure for this world
>>43685369
Probably a mix of the two. Not entirely innocent but not an evil little fuck.
>but sir, i didn't mean to put my sister's bf in hospital, i just wanted to give him an atomic superwedgie i saw on YouTube.

I did an awful lot of different builds for this one, but honestly all I ever wanted was to settle down with the Engineer Dominatrix and set up a small business designing and manufacturing high end toys for discerning perverts.
Obviously I'll need to build up a great deal of experience with such things before I can go into that line of work.
And also, we clearly couldn't countenance our offering a product to the public if it hadn't been very thoroughly tested for quality.
I think it's clear enough where this is going. I'll maybe stat something up tonight once I'm in the right frame of mind for a bit of writefagging.
>>43685392
I did, anon.
Then I realized it's futile to try and change your minds. I like making CYOA's, but I also like getting more than three responses, so I'll just need to compromise myself, I guess.
>>43685437
I keep thinking about making one, even started on one, but don't think it would be good enough to justify the time spent learning how to use an image editor and finding certain images.
Anyway, it has given me more respect for people that do finish a cyoa, regardless of responses.
Has anyone ever found a good image of bug/man farmer or peasant?
>>43685464
>don't think it would be good enough to justify the time spent learning how to use an image editor and finding certain images
So make the text-only version, gauge the response, update it if necessary, make an image version if there seems to be enough demand for one?
>>43685488
Naw, I'd really want to do images.
However, the idea of cutting some of the lesser options and thus reducing the image hunting and such is worth considering.
Would anons help me find some images? Fantasy stuff, mainly.
