Marauder Exemplar

Kitchen Nightmares but Gordon Ramsay is contractually permitted to kill the owner during filming

If you've ever seen Kitchen Nightmares, you've run into the same problem I have. The show is fine, whatever, but certain episodes would have been seriously elevated if Gordon Ramsay had been allowed to just take out some of those restaurant owners. I can't be alone in thinking that, right?

Last year we at CYS brought in the New Year with Wholesome Dog's Birthday Adventure. This year... this.

Disclaimer: This gets a little rancid.

Monster

 

Hunger fosters desperation.
Play as Elizabeth, a young woman recently involved in a tragic accident that claimed the lives of her family... except for one, very unfamiliar man. Or, is he a man at all?

endings (and one profile badge) to find, not including deaths.

 

Reborn

"One last adventure in the forest with our friends. There's nothing to be afraid of..."

Play as Rebecca, a troubled and pessimistic young woman living in a small town called Whittle Falls. Sleepy and independent, leading a simple existence and a very happy one- once upon a time. Now, a terrible curse has befallen the town, in the form of an unstoppable Beast that refuses to stop its violent hunting.

Navigate Rebecca's bonds both old and new, and take her on one final trek through the forest. Confront the distant and buried past, while trying not to fall to the otherworldly horrors lurking around every corner.

Not counting deaths, there are a total of 24 endings- 11 bad, 7 neutral, and 6 good. This story has connections to two of my other works, the storygames Warden and Monster. See if you can find them!

There are 5 endings you can get, not including deaths, of which there are quite a lot.

Gimmick infringement!

Basically I had the story set up with three main branches, with the idea being that you could complete all three in one playthrough in any order you wanted. The wall I ran into with that system was that each branch would have to be written like four separate times, once for each order the player could play through the game in, so that there wouldn't be continuity errors and dialogue that doesn't make sense. This probably would've been doable for a smaller story, but I know there's no way I would be able to finish this one with that system. It was very silly, so I've moved to 'one path per playthrough,' y'know, the way it was intended.

It's looking like Fantasy at the moment! Not currently planning for it to be Reborn-sized, but we'll see how it goes lol

The one-month mark is approaching. How goes the writing, people?

I had my story's branching set up in a really dumb way until just recently that would've been basically impossible to write, but I've pivoted and mostly ironed the issue out. Aside from that, I've been writing every day and the words are adding up... the more I think about the scale though, the less certain I am that my current pace will be enough. I guess we'll see.

Thank you for hosting this Mystic! Super thoughtful and cool gifts all around this year. Looking forward to the finale!

Here's the thread it's from

Yes! And wouldn't you know it, it's also the dog's birthday!

That certainly would've been a good way to ensure that the Secret Santa becomes Discord-exclusive next year

Yahoo!

Funny, I've had that exact idea for a storygame before.
