Hey btw if you don’t know how to program, you should check out [novelty], which is a free Visual Novel creation software. Absolutely no programming required, and it’s super easy to use, I played with it some when I was a teen but the only reason I didn’t do much with it is cuz I made my story complicated and had like 5000 different branching routes that kept spawning new routes and made myself confused LMAO

But yeah, it’s a WYSIWYG with a really straight-forward GUI, if I remember correctly.

It even comes with some free backgrounds and characters and stuff, and this is what it looks like:

Did I mention it’s super duper free? It hasn’t been updated since 2010, but it has basically all you’d need to make a simple visual novel.

Just make sure your DirectX runtime is updated, cuz it can act buggy if it’s outdated, but this program is so old that I doubt it’d even be an issue lol

holy shit

This is so cool? Can you imagine fanfic in this format?

[scripturient-manipulator]

YO

[shoothisisanemptyblog-deactivat]

@becausedragonage @ashidoodle can I recommend Choice Script? It’s like a choose your own adventure coding program. The finished product looks like this, where every option sends you down a different path:

They are literally books you can play. You can even insert your own character’s name and pronouns and that would make writing reader inserts so much easier And as a writer who can not art, writing and making dating sims and games is more convenient.

The coding is also super simple and easy to learn and all it requires other than the program files is a text editor. And just like that you can start typing up like you would your own fanfics or stories. Plus it’s very versatile so you can make your game/book as simple or as complicated as you want, and even implement stats and inventory systems.

AND CHOICE SCRIPT IS ALSO SUPER DUPER FREE. THE COMPANY EVEN PUBLISHES YOUR FINISHED GAME FOR YOU AND GIVES YOU ROYALTIES IF YOU CHOOSE TO SELL IT. THE PROGRAM STILL GETS UPDATED AND  THE COMPANY PUBLISHES BOOKS EVERY MONTH INCLUDING THE FANMADE ONES. THERE’S ALSO A FORUM FOR PEOPLE TO POST WIPS AND TALK ABOUT CHOICE SCRIPT AND GET HELP.

And there’s Ren'py, also for visual novels!

Sam’s True Ending, A Healthy Dose of Big Softy Hidden Beneath a Hard Bad Boy Shell

(^ Not the ending photo. Avoiding spoiling it for anyone who hasn’t played yet. If you haven't, this game is free on Steam! I highly suggest it. ^.^)

And I enjoyed every minute of it. ^.^ Sam’s route definitely satisfied my craving for a good old bad boy romance trope. At this point, I have a feeling I’m going to have a hard time picking a favorite between the brothers. xD

Sam’s route was just as heart-melting as the other two. A good bad boy done right if I do say so myself. He’s the type of rough around the edges character that I can love and respect. Hell, my previous statement about how the bad boy act doesn’t cut it for me in real life could possibly be thrown out if this character were a real-life person, lol. 

Also, during this playthrough, I decided to kill two birds with one stone and nab another possible ending. At some point, while you're going for one of the brothers, one of the antagonists, Diana (voiced by the creator herself, which I thought was really cool), tries to offer you a deal. So, I made an extra save at that scene so I could see what happens when you choose to take her deal. I found that ending to be a pretty good one for the player character, but I couldn’t help but think about what Diana would have to do to be able to place that other spell she mentioned on the guys. After hearing her explanation for how the spell she would use on you worked, the only way I could see her managing that would be to break the brothers’ hearts with the news of your decision, which the idea of just hurts. (Sorry for vague description. Trying to avoid major spoilers, lol. But for those who have played and taken that route, you know what I mean!? Omg, how awful!) 

Man, am I having fun with this game! Next route I’m shooting for is the sweet man of few words but many expressions, Damien! 

See you in the next installment of this little adventure of mine!

Erik’s True Ending, Better Than I Expected.

(^ Not the ending photo. Not spoiling it for those who haven’t played yet. By the way, this game if free on Steam! So go get it! lol.)

Now, I expected it to be good, but I was pleasantly surprised to see there was more to Erik than I first thought. I found his character entertaining before, now I adore his character as much as I do James. 

Probably should have mentioned this in my last blog entry about this game, but James’s responsible, elegant, intelligent personality was what drew me to him first. Plus, I had a bit more in common with him. Eldest of five kids, seen as the responsible one, the one with the most pressure to succeed in life (least if felt like it then) only to run away and change my name to chase my dreams. Yeah, a lot of synchronicity going on there, lol. James’s route was fun in the way that a well-planned trip that goes off without a hitch is, with a couple little fun surprises along the way. 

Erik’s route, on the other hand, was fun in the way that accidentally discovering a fun secret is, with a side of heart-melting sweetness. I decided for him next because, well, who doesn’t enjoy being flirted with in a way that makes you feel desirable? ;) I may not be a fan of being called princess (just not my thing) but that was easy enough to work around for this character. 

It was a bit of a hard choice figuring out who to go for next, but I think I’ll be going for Sam. While the bad boy act doesn’t cut it in real life for me (not anymore, at least), I find it very desirable in fiction. Some tropes just never get old. I’m excited to see what other sides there are to him. 

Stay tuned!

Found James’s True Ending in Seduce Me the Otome!

(^ not a pic of the ending. Not gonna spoil that for ya, lol.)

And it was definitely better than the first ending I found. ;) I won’t give spoilers, but I will say that I highly enjoyed it. ^.^ This story/game is pretty interesting and I can’t wait to finish finding all the endings before I move on to the next game, Seduce Me the Otome 2, The Demon War. Next playthrough I will be aiming for the oh so suave brother, Erik. 

On a somewhat related note, I do still want to stream this game. However, I’ve decided to opt-out of doing a blind playthrough for this one, and possibly other visual novels in the future. Once I get back into streaming I want one night a week to be a storytime theme, and I feel I’ll be able to tell these stories better if I know what to expect ahead of time. Make sense? I hope so, lol. Think of it as me rehearsing my role as a narrator and/or character in the story. 

Until next time!

No, I’m Not Streaming Again Yet

But I am still gaming. So, I’m still going to shoot for blogging about the games I particularly enjoy playing. I do want to get back into streaming, and will hopefully be back at it sooner rather than later. If I do it’ll likely be after November since I also write and plan on participating in both Inktober and NaNoWriMo as much as possible. (Updates on what I’m doing during those months will be posted on my writing blog, noxchyc, The Things I Write.) And hopefully by then life with stop throwing all these curve balls at me, lol. Happy gaming everyone!

Playing Praey fo the Gods

So I saw one of my favorite gamers playing this a few months back and thought it looked good so I bought it. It was in early release, so I wasn't able to get very far before the game started glitching. It's still in early release, but it had a rather big update a little while ago so I've decided to try playing it again. I really hope it works better for me this time because I love the concept and graphics. I'll let you know how it goes!

[noxchycgameingblog]

The game is indeed working much better now. Been able to explore past the beginning area with no problems and actually explore more of the map. Can’t wait to discover the lore behind these giants. ^.^

Unfortunately

I have some life stuff to take care of, so streams are having to take a back seat for the time being. Hopefully I'll get things straightened out before long and get back to streaming. ^.^

[noxchycgameingblog]

Sorry

Said I was gonna stream today, but that's not gonna happen now due to personal reasons. Have a good night!

Found One of James’s Endings, But Not the “Good” One.

So, I found what I believed to be James’s ending, but after doing a little research (without getting any spoilers, thankfully) I discovered that there’s another route with him I could have gone. Sooo, tomorrow I’ll just have to jump back on and go for the other route. Because I must know! Lol. And I am trying for all the achievements in this game. Not sure what time I’ll stream the other ending, but I’ll put up a post once I know. I also post stream updates on Twitter @noxchyc if that’s more convenient for you. ^.^ 

Please feel free to pop in and say hi. I’d love to discuss things that happen in the story with others as I stream. Just no spoilers, please. I’m doing a blind playthrough and want my reactions to be legit. Hope to see you there!

Going For Jame's Ending In "Seduce Me the Otome" Tonight!

During my last playthrough of SMtO I decided to try for James's ending first. Didn't make it to the ending, but we did have a rather steamy encounter. A good sign that we're on the right track, lol. Going to stream till I reach his ending tonight, so feel free to come by at 8:00pm EST and say hi! ^.^

[noxchycgameingblog]

Sooo, first playthrough of that game, Seduce Me the Otome, and my decisions didn't lead me to any of the characters.

And it was not what I was expecting. 

 I instead became a demon lord, lol! 🤣 What does that say about me? Lol. Wasn't an ending I expected, that's for sure. Not disappointed though. 

Anyway, definitely gonna try for some of the other endings. There are nine pursue-able characters, three women and six men, though I've yet to see who the sixth dude is. Least, I don't think I have. My goal is to find all the endings, of course. 

Once I find an editor that I'm comfortable with I'll be posting my playthroughs on YouTube since Twitch won't hold the past broadcasts for more than two weeks. Uploaded videos stay, but you now have to be an affiliate to upload videos, so YouTube it is! 

Thanks to anyone who watches and feel free to let me know who you’d like to see me go for first. Happy gaming! ^.^

I Low Key Always Wanted To Try Streaming

So, now I am.

I’m a writer who likes to game, and making gaming videos is something I’ve thought about doing for a long time now. I just never had the gall to try it until recently. I’ve been enjoying streaming on Twitch since starting, so I decided to make a Tumblr page for it like I did for my writing.

I’m still very new to streaming, so any tips or advice are welcome. Also, for anyone who follows my writing stuff, rest assured I will still be writing as well. Hell, writing a storyline for a video game someday would be freaking sweet! Not to mention a great way to tie two of my interests together. ^.^

Speaking of tying two interests together, any fans of my writing are free to pop over to my channel when I’m live to ask me questions or talk about writing stuff in general. I’m always happy to help if other writers need someone to bounce ideas off of and the like. So come say hi, and let me know what you think so I can keep improving. ^.^
