Gay Old Time

Time Travel Shenanigans and More

Have a nice awkward talk with your boyfriend in the hospital.

It's written using mostly dialogue.There are a total of six "official endings". One tip to find all six of them is this: Never press the go back button. The game will remember things you've done in the past.  

Thank you Endmaster for giving me permission to publish this. Here's the Link to that lovely little Convo. Remnants of the old title are seen in the cover.

Also the contest entry to the Endmaster's second prompt Contest


Featured Story It's a Boy!

Romancing a Werewolf Has Never Been This Family Friendly!

Since there were no little girls left to be sacrificed to the great wolf, the young lad Rufi was sent instead. However, he will not be killed this quickly as he vows to kill the wolf with his own two hands in order to avenge his sister and the other girls.

A spin of the classical tale of Red Riding Hood and inspired by the CYS romance corner and Bucky's contest prompt. "Breathe fresh live into the tale of Little Red Riding Hood." It's written in the cave-of-time style. "It's a Boy" contains a total of 19 endings, good luck finding them all! 

Extra warning: The assigned 7/8 maturity rating was not a mistake. Be warned of some very explicit scenes. Go in with caution. 


Featured Story Little mage's potion shop (and the curious adventures surrounding it)

Running a Potion Shop Has Never Been This Exciting!

The country of Riverrock had just discovered a brand new continent called Foundland. Settlers and hopeful souls flock to the promised land. One of them is the young mage Lise and her accomplished teacher. They set up a potion shop, build a house and decorated half of it. All things were fine and dandy till her teacher decided to fuck off and go on his own adventure. Now she has to run it on her own. 

This story is basically a mix between soothing slice-of-life activities,attempts at comedy and dark undertones. It will have two main endings and five side-endings. (for people who have trouble finding the mini arcs, please select this white space: herbs, study, potion, entrance.) More mini-arcs and extra content will soon be added. If you have any trouble getting a particular ending, feel free to message me. 

Entry for Endmaster's manifest destiny contest. 

 


One Story Please

What Happens When You Have Only This Many Minutes Left

A short story following the last king's final decision in a land on the cusp of the industrial revolution. There are 4 endings in total.

Submission for Corgi's Lord of the lands contest, a product of my sleep deprived mind and fever dreams

Edit: extra drawings added one extra proofread 


Featured Story The Duke of Winslow

Going To Your Backwards Breeding Hometown Has Never Been This Interesting!

-----------

Dear young master,

You might not be bothered to read this letter as I'm very aware of your bullheaded character. Nevertheless, I've come to inform you that a dreadful curse has been placed in Winslow. Beasts of inscrutable sizes roam its streets. Even your father couldn't fight it as he had succumbed to this illness. Although your opinions might differ on this matter, Nikolai Percival had been a kind man of great character. His passing had shocked the entire village to their bones. The people are scared, lost what to do. I am aware that you expressed no intention into taking up your father's mantle, but the village needs a new leader, a new duke. I plead to you to at least finish his affairs before making any lasting decisions.

(....)

Oh help us all, the mother's milk, I hear the voices sing to me, the elder gods, their song. 

-Eduard Merrill

------------------------

Play as a prickly prick and discover the grimy seaside town of Winslow. Similar to "little mage's potion shop", it's an open world setting with multiple locations to explore and puzzles to solve. There are a total of three endings! Guide and map included. 

(and yes, this was supposed to be the fishing story contest entry till I forgot that I was bad at copypasting and linking pages together.)

Fun fact: this storygame has 457 pages and 980 links. According to the site it's about average.

Edit June 11th: fixed the links of the light house, baker and beach area

It's creepy that you two agree on something, horrifying even.


Normal Human Bingo on 3/6/2024 2:52:15 PM

You sell yourself short. Why are you of the opinion that you can't talk normally? 


Using Variables To Effect Dialogue on 3/6/2024 5:28:19 AM

Yeah had the same issue, I think I solved it back then by making them separate pages, because that would be more time efficiënt.


Normal Human Bingo on 3/5/2024 3:07:20 PM

I'm afraid it isn't possible, Its mere presence would make the entire forum crash.


Normal Human Bingo on 3/5/2024 1:20:14 PM

I'm still bumped out that there's no box for "knows how to change a tire of a bicycle". Every normal human being should have this basic life skill.

Or: knows how to drive instead of paying taxes. (If you work or even if you buy anything there's a tax already incorporated) 

Or: knows how to console a crying child. (Should be a given)


Normal Human Bingo on 3/4/2024 1:27:04 AM

Well, I propose to have my post deleted in case anyone else copies it. When I discovered it, I didn't know it would break the entire site for a few people.

- edit: okay so Ford has already been working on a solution, great!


Normal Human Bingo on 3/3/2024 1:19:02 PM

How did I miss this?

I think that "play an instrument" should be switched with "knows how to cook", based on the exchanges in this thread. Knowing how to play one is already a talent technically.

I wanted to find Odysseus and I finally did through Homer Simpson. If you combine Homer with poetry you get the odyssey!


Endmaster's prompt contest writing thread. on 2/12/2024 1:25:12 AM

Frankly I don't think that frequent visitors of the site would care all that much. I think that I had multiple pages in some stories that went beyond the 2k mark.


Guild Names on 2/7/2024 6:06:00 PM

Theft, extortion, drug trafficking, smuggling, assassinations, prostitution, 

Depends on the cultural background of your fantasy world. For prostitution one may imagine lots of euphemisms such as:

  • Flower Dealers/Flower bearers/seed bearers/basements florists (as in the flowers are euphemisms for prostitutes)
  • Fruit pickers (same as flowers)
  • Night walkers (mesh of streetwalkers and Lady of the night)

Drugs - heavily depends on the effect the drug will have and what context people take them

  • Dream keepers/dream guides/dream catchers/dream granters - things like opiates
  • Candy makers/night confectioners/sugar barons - if the drugs are brightly colored
  • Euphemisms for drugs: slum sweets, proles peppermints, poor man's pepper upper
  • Joy bringers, 

And if you are lazy, just look up euphemisms for these things and mesh some of them together. Tbf, more innocuous names make things a lot insidious and scary and stuff. Plus it will be a great way to cover up their crimes (like drug dealers used to do with adopting minecraft lingo) (For example if the god of the death is called batum, then the guild may be called; Batum's messengers, Batum's followers, Batum's blessed, Batum's children, Batum's emissaries)

With assassination: what kind of things does your fantasy world associate with death? Does it have angels, do people believe in the afterlife? If you know, then it's very easy to make very unique guild names appropriate to the setting and you will probably not need people's help anymore :).

You could also look at existing names of gangs and maffia (name it after the founder or something of the country of origin). It also heavily depends on the culture within the guild.
