#IF games

[teeth-draws]

In my downtime did up an old painting of Halle (ofc) from @shepherds-of-haven

Halle likes: developing spells, teleporting away from emotional conversations, children, gambling, reptiles

Halle dislikes: battle mages, people asking her questions, cardio, the friendzone 😭

You guysssss I just made the coolest profile description on itch.io as I'm preparing to share The Black Hare soon, and because of a tiny mistake I made on the social media handles portion of it, the whole thing disappeared in an error!!!!!!

Aaaaaaaah!!!!

Y'all Dashington is getting deleted by the end of the month!

Every wip on the site will dissapear along with it, spread the word!

Here's the original post!

First IF MCs Post!

So I've been playing IFs going on five years now, but I think I've only ever made one post about who they are, like, a year or two ago. They mostly only exist on the discord discussions or DMs with fellow IF fans because I also have no art skill (though I should post the Infamous fics I have in my drafts eventually--).

All that to say, getting a shoutout from @loveandleases herself (STILL RIDING THAT HIGH) has finally given me the kick I need to post about some of my MCs. This might open a floodgate for MANY of my OCs that I still yet have to talk about, so everyone beware!

(Picrews used will be credited at the bottom of the post)

First up, my Cam-mancer, Peridot "Dot" (last name tbd)! (Might change her eyes to hazel, but I'm keeping this picrew image for now.)

She started out very similar to my Infamous main, Genevieve, but now she's come into a life of her own. Has been hopelessly in love with Cam for most of her life, but resigned herself to just happily being his best friend (not knowing, of course, what the rest of us know about Cam--). Chris and Jade's betrayal stung, especially with what it solidified about the kind of people those two are, but I think a big part of her arc is realizing that she's not as heartbroken as she thinks she should have been about it. Then it's just her reconciling the years lost.

Anyway, she's a quiet, sweet woman, who normally doesn't mind not having attention on herself, but she's mostly become that way because of Jade demanding so much. She's also an artist, often preferring to spend evenings in the quiet, painting and sketching. I think she definitely has a stash of paintings she's made of Cam's pictures that she gives to him on bad days or his birthdays. She's a passable cook, but a far more enthused baker. It's mostly a calming activity for her when she's stressed, though her friends and loved ones certainly enjoy the results. The Clarke parents still talk about her pear custard recipe, even after the breakup.

She's still relatively new, along with the other MC I'm about to share, so I'll probably think of even more details as they grow and as the game progresses!

Anyway, now for Jumana, my G-mancer!

Jumana (last name also tbd) goes back to my usual trend with making MCs: she's of Lebanese heritage. She's a departure, however, because she's got grey eyes instead of brown like I usually give my Lebanese-coded MCs. She also met G during her goth phase in college (it slowly just turned to grunge), so this is the look that eventually grabbed G by the throat. She's not afraid to throw punches, but will try to talk people down first. Unless she's mad. Then all bets are off. Someone will be thrown across a desk. She is Very strong, and Very scrappy and she will not be fucked with.

Anyway, she's also a Literature Nerd and is almost always reading, especially in inconvenient spots. It drove G insane, because they never seemed to see her study in public, so HOW was she keeping up with their grades--

I do think, however, she's not a particularly ambitious person. I think she got high grades like G and that got under their skin and their reaction tickled her so much that she just. Kept trying to get high grades so she could keep getting a reaction out of them. Honestly, if G hadn't been there, she might not have tried so hard in college. But she definitely had a crush on them well before they probably realized their own feelings. Losing G gutted her, they were It for her. Chris was absolutely a rebound, and maybe a bit of self-punishment. Maybe a terrible part of her hoped being with Chris would one day get G angry enough to come back to her life, tell her to be with them, not Chris.

Now that Chris and Jade have royally betrayed her? Well. Jumana has ideas for making their lives miserable without her actually getting involved with them again, and that goes for her parents too, for their own betrayal--

I'm sure I'll think of more as time goes on, but in the meantime, these are my gals! Can't wait to see how they fit into the game!

Have I mentioned that I fucking hate Funko pop as a product and a company? Because I do. I really, really do.

Thanks for checking it out! :•)

Prologue Update (09/19/2024)

Hi all,

Before anything else, this is the link to the current demo:

So exciting to be posting and updating this! I also have a CoG forum page open, if you want to leave feedback feel free to do so there or via the Ask tab on my Tumblr (which is now active). If you find any errors, grammatical/spelling/coding or anything please reach out, it will save me a lot of time in the long run :-)

CoG thread: https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/deux-a-deux-prologue-drama-wip-11k-words-19-september-2024/159244

The prologue now stands at roughly 12k words and SHOULD run until a false finish.

Updates planned: next Friday (tentatively) should have the prologue finished. The prologue will leave off on meeting T. and N. Lyons at your place of work, La Table (a so-called “chic” French restaurant). You won’t get to interact much with T and N in the prologue, but you will get to make a first impression and officially “meet” them.

Very very excited to continue working on this. As I get more into the groove of things, I expect updates will come fewer and further between, BUT I plan to write roughly (god help me) 10,000 words a week, coding included.

If I am ever falling especially behind, for whatever reason (life is crazy) I will update!

Also, just a disclaimer this is my first ever ChoiceScript game, so I’m very new to this, but I do hope to complete this as a standalone in the next year or two (aiming for roughly 800,000 words including code). The rough plot is done, and I’m going to spend the next week working on branching outlines while I finish up coding the prologue.

Thank you guys for your interest, sorry for the post being long asf but wanted to get a solid update/PSA going :-)

Looking for interactive fiction game recommendations where the MC is going THROUGH it. Think on the level of I, the Forgotten One and Fallen Hero: Rebirth & Retribution

[hyba]

Hey, all, I've got a little Q about sharing the (unfinished) prologue for my twine IF, The Black Hare. I'd like to share what I have for it so far on itch.io (probably - if not, then as a free downloadable on my payhip), but I'm not quite sure how it works with updating the game later on.

How do players keep their save games? If I update the game when the prologue is finished, will players have to start from the beginning again?

Struggling a bit with understanding this, so any info or help is greatly appreciated!

writing with music in the background is wild

I can't unhear Uptown girl when I reread the MC/Amyntas fight.

[appetite-pen]

She's (bea)uty, she's grace, if you run she'll probably give you chase

If you haven't already, read @larkingame 's new update! Love the work you put in the narrative :)

Also, I have an ig now?? (yay/yikes) @appetite.pen , it'd help me a lot if you spread the word so feel free to check it out! <3

Trivium: the place where three paths meet

I’ve been experimenting with making interactive, philosophical text-based games as a way to help you explore philosophical issues as part of your own personal growth. This first game explores three ways of being. Choose the path that resonates with you. Will you find enlightenment or succumb to despair? The choice is yours. Start the Game
