I wanted to be done by today, but my ends keep proliferating. Enjoying the writing though, so two more weeks of fun is good.

This one's probably my least favourite plotting method, but it can work if you tweak it a lot. ^_^

There’s also the “Shaggy Dog” story that just leaves the roller coaster hanging high up with no climax and the riders have to climb down themselves complaining the entire time. (Or sit there and starve to death)

But yeah as more of a plotter I usually have complex roll...

Animating Frodo and Sam's little roller coaster ride was particularly fun. ^_^

News and Updates

Sherbet's Summer's End Synergy Contest

Posted 9/3/2024 by Sherbet
It's that time of year, people are going back to school (if they're YOUNG and GROSS) and the apathy of the summertime becomes but a fond memory. Instead of procrastinating on writing, the youth can now procrastinate on their schoolwork WITH writing while also becoming RICH in collaboration with their fellow Cystians, in the Summer's End Synergy Contest, in a beautiful surprise twist to close out the season.

Naturally, the reward for winning the contest is fortune, glory, and prestige.

However, to spice things up this time around, I've cooked up some bonus incentives in order to increase our numbers.

BONUS INCENTIVES! (No, they don't stack)

1. If there are at least 10 successful contest entries, the top five will receive 50 points, while all other valid participants receive 25 points.

2. If there are at least 15 successful contest entries, the top five will receive 75 points, while all other valid participants receive 50 points.

3. If there are at least 20 successful contest entries, the top five will receive 100 points and guaranteed story commendations, while all other valid participants receive 75 points.

Prompt: A recent event has caused the protagonist to go through a difficult change.

It's a pretty open-ended prompt, there are a lot of directions you could go with it. Just as long as you don't tuck any relevance of the prompt away hidden in one specific page in a sub-branch, you're going to be okay, I promise, just stop freaking out, just calm down.

I should also note that while anything above minimum site standards technically qualifies as a valid entry, any 3.01/8, 2000-word slop will be thoroughly looked down upon by my higher council, and I might just feed your points to @ISentinelPenguinI out of spite. Do yourself a favor, start early!

The deadline will be October 31st at 11:59 PM (PST), just in case the default spookiness of other deadlines isn't enough for you people.

Best of luck!

Site Updates 2024

Posted 9/1/2024 by Ford
General thread for 2024 updates to the codebase.

Stuff is changing in the background. Most users will notice nothing different. If you're not on the discord server you will have no idea what is going on, but that's ok. I forgive you. Just know that you are safe here in my arms :^)

The next update will happen on 9/11 - so if nobody is able to login on that day and the site dies we'll have our own 9/11 to never forgetti.

Maybe I'll push some changes that end-users will actually notice, you never know. Also the development of a new engine has been started in earnest. Best get your dreams and wishes for the editor in front of me before I make irreversible design decisions that make your "turing complete CYS cookie clicker factory roguelike" impossible.
