CYOA stories
Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2022 7:37 pm
How popular are COYA games here? I'm making one now, mainly for me. Don't know if its worth posting when its done.
The idea is, instead of using dice rolls, I'm going to link to mouse skill games. This rules out luck entirely, so success or failure is down to your (in)competence.
Its going to be long. The CYOA games I grew up with went to 400 sections, and it looks like I will at least match that. If I can be concise, we are looking at 500 sections. I still haven't come up with a way of doing a time mechanic other than repeating sections on different branches, which play differently depending on previous choices.
This is the premise. Two friends go to the Rio Carnival on Spring Break. They get robbed and tied up. You control one of them and attempt to untie yourselves. It being set in Brazil, the robbers speak Portuguese. A mechanic will be using an online translator to work out what they say. It wont be required, but it will help a lot. Obviously I will take this bit out if/when the game is posted. It will also be in the everybody section.
So far I've mapped the first 100 sections. I will post updates if enough people want them.
