Hello all, I haven't been posting much in this thread. But I've been making games! This will be a card game. I know that the screenshot is wretched to look at because of all the nonsensical white text; but soon I hope to replace all that with pretty HUD icons. Anyway, I haven't seen many CYOAs in byob lately, but if there are any that I missed, you're welcome to let me know, and I can add them to the OP. I think it's fun to keep a list of these things

ty for the compliments! On my projects these days, I am trying to make a conscious effort not to put off the art until the last minute. That way I get in more art practice overall, plus the work-in-progress doesn't look like hideous programmer art when I show it off to people. (The downside is that I may need to throw art away if the gameplay changes, but c'est la vie)

Uh, I finished that game from a few posts ago. It's called Knight Owls. This one's pretty bizarre. It's a card-based roguelike, similar to Slay the Spire, but with MANY differences from that game. Is Knight Owls good? Probably not; I think it wound up a little too luck-based and hard, while not giving the player enough opportunities to make a synergistic deck. But there's nothing else quite like it, and it was a lot of fun to make! Click here to try it out, if you want. https://blaise-rascal.itch.io/knight-owls e: Oh yeah, and Knight Owls was made since day one to run not ONLY in-browser, but on a Game Boy Advance as well! You can test this out if you have a flash cartridge like the EZ Flash Omega. There is a whole community based around making original games for the Game Boy Advance, and they were able to help me make Knight Owls a reality! blaise rascal fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Jul 29, 2021

i had some thoughts about tandem pinball right before falling asleep and shockingly did not forget them all! - general shape of table is upside-down Y, one player on each arm - each player has one regular-sized ball that stays on their side of the field, but there's a smaller ball that can get passed over -- various ways to do that: gates being triggered by weight, holes that are too small for the regular ball but big enough for the small on, maybe magnets or something - cool double-helix ramps in the middle connecting the two sides, because this is the Evolution of Pinball (tm) if just one person is playing then i guess it would just use the regular ball and be normal pinball but once PLayer 2 joins it activates the shared stuff

Prurient Squid posted:I was sort of working on a game at one point but I never got beyond the spitballing stage Hello friends. Do you guys really want me to make this? I mean, I've done 0% of the work and have no idea how to make a game but if there's interest I could just give it a good old try! Like, why not I guess? |

biosterous posted:i had some thoughts about tandem pinball right before falling asleep and shockingly did not forget them all! I'm no pinball expert, but I do know that in regular single-player pinball you can control the ball direction  The issue with an upside down Y (if I'm understanding your design correctly) is that you can only fire in one direction, reducing the things the player can do  So that's why I like this "triangular prism" shape might be preferable. You can choose what direction to shoot, and if you get it over the hump, it starts pestering your opponent. idk, just brainstorming  Prurient Squid posted:Hello friends. I think it's a fun idea! Go for it! My one recommendation would be to make the gameplay first, THEN the story. Story elements such as dialog systems may be cool, but they can be surprisingly time-consuming to make, and if you focus on them, you risk getting burnt out by the time you actually want to work on the game... Good luck!

Hmm... I think I'll aim for a milder more family friendly version of the Bank Princess game without any deaths or machiavellianism. Also probably there'll be romance options. |

Actually a base game is coming into view of a multiturn three phase game where you get Yes/No options that make numbers go up and down and if you run out of money you die. I think if I make that structure and then worry about balancing the game and then the story and art last that would be prudent. |

I should get back to this soon. It'd be good if I could work out what I was doing last time I stopped. Getting vaxxed tommorow. Might be a bit unfocused for a few days. |
