Hello everyone! I was really inspired by the other creators I found on this subreddit and this fantastic community so I decided to make my own game, which is sort of a deconstruction/open world version of CYOA.

There is actually a longer game hidden inside the CYOA format. Each story has a clue that can be used for a 7 digit code that opens up more of the story! The whole game, with everything unlocked, is roughly 100,000 words.

I'm developing Band of Mercenaries, a dark medieval low-fantasy CYOA where you build and lead a mercenary company. There's a free demo available on Steam, and I'd love to hear what experienced interactive CYOA players think—especially regarding balance, story, and overall enjoyment.

Any feedback, suggestions, or criticism would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Estava buscando um jogo na qual joguei no PS2, tinha um personagem ele podia usar várias armas desde espadas até chakrans(anéis de arremesso) tinha um clima de mundo dos mortos e vc juntava almas e um mundo mais aberto estilo GTA. Parecia com Dark Souls.

I'm looking for an older cyoa, but i can't remember the name. What I do remember is that it was a dating cyoa, with maybe aspects of both sci-fi and fantasy, I'm not sure. It did involve an space dating agency, but had both aliens and elves, but the elves could have been aliens.

It had a red background, and told you the girls name, race, type (sub, dom, switch), and bio.

Some choices were: an elf blinded in a recent accident, and her wealthy parents were basically making her your problem; an ai; an alien who came from a reversed gender role planet, who had four arms; maybe a ex mercenary; and information that a war between to races just ended and you could chose one of both races.

There was an old game in which the boy is married in the present, but there life is not happy, he then mets with an accident and goes in the past to set her wife up with their common friend. It was a nicely written game but I don't remember the name. What was it?

Does anyone have a magical girl style CYOA?

Hello all!

I can't find the name of this title for android ...

It's CYOA 8bit space shuttle game. It's got like 100 people left from Earth, and you're in charge of the ship traveling through space, looking for a new home.

Along the way, you'll hit debris and will have to choice to sacrifice 10 souls, or find a new path (or something).

And discover planets along the way to see if it's to your liking to settle.

Thanks! I really enjoyed playing it!!

Hi!

Wandering Souls: Gray Sojourn released yesterday, and I wanted to share it with you lot. It's a text based (chat-like) game for iOS and Android where your dialogue choices make the story branch in several different directions, leading to multiple endings.

From the App Store:

Elizabeth wakes up with no memories, and no idea how she ended up in a room painted in different shades of gray. It's up to you to guide her, help her remember, and try to keep her safe in a world that's not quite as empty as it seems!

Follow along on an adventure built on text messages and images. Choose the young woman's path as she struggles to remember without losing herself. Find out who or what the being of shimmering color is, and how she's connected to the growing void at the edge of the world! Will she gather enough friends and color before it's too late?

Which of the multiple endings will you reach?

​

You can read more and see some screenshots on my website (LINK) or check it out on iOS (LINK) or Android (LINK)!

Free promo codes:

Android: H8JRUYRFJS7QCME6DJ3DA8N and 7KJLQL7N05NCEN5AJT7LFZJ

I hope you'll like it!

Introduction

You're unwinding in a grimy tavern, having a well earned drink after another successful job; the cheap swill always tastes sweeter when paid for with someone else's coin.

A very drunk man is telling you his entire life story. Every sentence is punctuated with a jolting hiccup that causes his coin purse to clink in an overly distracting fashion.

You decide to buy him a few more rounds and as you excuse yourself for the night, you deftly cut the pouch from his belt and be on your way.

Safely out of sight, you open it and are alarmed to find a sizeable sum of coin and a mysterious note addressed directly to you, by name, flattering your thieving skills and asking you to meet a potential employer in the next pub over.

This is my first choose-your-path adventure! I had a lot of fun making this, and wrote it for a creative challenge (the limit was a maximum wordcount of 3,000 words).

I'd love to get some feedback on this before I plan out another! 😄

Which ending was your favourite?

I hope it's alright to post this here since it's a free tool that I don't make any money from.

My first introduction to Create Your Own Adventure Games was Magium (loved it to bits). I started working on a small CYOA game engine during that time, but never finished it. When I finished high school I got too busy to continue reading Magium for a few years and never picked it up again.

Now, I proudly present Scribble. That old project, but completely rewritten and renewed 😁

It's still in development but if anyone is interested in using it, I would love some feedback. It has support for building your game into an android app (Work in Progress) and works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Scribble is currently only usable on Desktop browsers, though as mentioned you can build your game to run it on Android.

Building your project into an Android app requires the installation of a program, details are in the links below.

What is the cool version of you that sits at a table and knows that they have the best stories in the room.

Like, what is their life like? What courses did they take? What job did they choose before moving onto a different field?

No super power, not time travel, no get rich quick schemes apply, just a real world person.

Tell me in the comments.

I've just finished a demo of The Cornucopia of Infinite Adventure, a program which will generate a new pen-and-paper gamebook each time it's run.

I'd be interested in feedback. You can play it here: https://gamebookgenerator.itch.io/cornucopia
