IF projects

WIPs:

Miraculous Mementos -

My main large scale project. You and your two friends get free VIP tickets to a pop up experience. Live in a world where life is a never ending festival for a week. Explore the various activities with friends as you keep running into the same performer.

Come Home -

Life is a practical fairytale for you and your family. With eight young kids, you live in your family timber cottage. After a year away, your husband has finally come home. He's forgotten a few things and his habits have changed. But that's fine. You'll just need to remind him.

Softer Places -

You're a severely neglected omega, taken into compulsory government care before you get yourself killed. Through the public health and welfare program, you're paired with an appropriate alpha to nurse you back to health. Will you let yourself be taken care of? Or slip away, potentially at the cost of your health?

Completed:

Sparks fly -

A classic horror story of your car breaking down in the woods and an overly friendly mechanic offering to help.

I keep wondering why im not writing more yandere stories. I think all my yandere energy is just going into miraculous 😅

[ratnibbles]

Jumping right into many branching IF with miraculous and the free roamish bit of sparks fly, my writing got hit pretty hard from my usual narrative writing in fanfic to be really systematic I feel.

I've been ignoring prose and narration for getting things in order to make sense and mostly telling the reader about events rather than putting them into it.

So before i get to editing too heavily on miraculous mementos, I'm working on some much more basic and short projects where their simple style will let me practice really combining both my prose writing and twine structuring.

My main focus is of course miraculous mementos, but im enjoying jotting down more simple little stories on the side for later or when i need a break.

So far we got:

Your husband finally came home from his long, long trip :) all the kids have missed him so much! :) he seems a little lost, but thats fine! Youll help him. Hes been out for a while :)

One love interest, more linear than ive done before, but choices lead to one of two endings.

You, an omega, have been deeply neglecting your omega nature! Maybe its from trauma, maybe its for your goals, either way, its fucking up your hormones and cortisol levels! Taken into state custody, you're assigned to an alpha. Will you accept his care or escape?

Starts with two options, linear with choices that add up to your ending. Will add new alphas beyond that periodically. Already have 4 planned. Much softer, will be my first with no horror vibe.

Barn owl hybrid yandere horror. Thats it. Thats the whole thing 💕

[ratnibbles]

Almost completely done with day one and two, got one more between event to put down then just getting day three together and act ones off to editing and fine tuning!

I might actually get this act done under a year of publishing the prologue!

[ratnibbles]

I keep wondering if milo should have a nickname for the player. Maybe it can be a choice the player picks from a selection or they input it like their name?

Casanova?

Stardust?

Firefly?

Bumble bee?

Hmm hmm hmm

[ratnibbles]

Hm

Was trying to make a thumbnail that its more specific and not just a free image i pulled off line

Well, ill keep it in mind for now. I have a habit of staring at my own qork so long i start hallucinating flaws

"Yes. It will stay, no matter what. Now you're stuck with it," the hand holding your face grows firm. Fingers curl into claws. Nails long and pointed you hadn't noticed before now press against the soft skin of your cheek. He drags then down to your chin, leaving stinging trails in their wake tearing up the top layer of skin. "See?"

He sits back, beaming at you, "not a smudge or a streak." Those nails pluck off a flake of newly loosed skin.

Do people like tiny details?

I love adding them but should i really be adding them if they dont serve a large enough purpose?

Like, would one word being in italics depending on one little flag, is that REALLY worth coding?

It doesnt take a lot of time, but it does risk more things breaking

Had to switch to browser just to get it on screen! But heres where we're at, i feel its moving faster these days

Something i love and did in sparks fly as well is choosing some little decisions that the player may think are just there for the illusion of choice that will have real effects later.

Its a lot of fun writing the more and more just a little bit off events!

Setting up everything for act 2 is so exciting!
