#atma codes shit

there was a request for wacky item descriptions. that and the official player’s job class list/implementation were today’s work. i am open to character suggestions for the jobs tho to base their face/sprite graphics off of.

So this is what my Yuri Game Jam game looks like when you boot it up, as well as a couple sample endings. If you’ve never played an Infocom brand game or any kind of interactive fiction, it’s an all-text adventure you input commands into. Every command in this one gets you its own unique end. So far I have a whopping -29- unique endings, some obvious, some hidden ones like references to old IF games and favorite series and whatnot.

I need at least 15 more (the 5 senses for the 3 listed characters) but after that, it’s all up to you all to help me come up with ideas! This isn’t due out til Oct 31st so we got a lot of time but I can be done with the basic load of the most common commands in another day or two at most.

Custom stuff can be done in 30-60 seconds. Most of the work is just being witty about my endings. Most are dumb and short, some are longer than others. Can you find the true end?

What I’m looking for:

Inventory items and/or how you’d like them to be interacted with

Custom actions

Custom/specific reactions to actions, basic or otherwise

I don’t need any more characters beyond Siofra, Susan, and Braveleaf, nor do I need any more locations. Jokes highly encouraged, as is being raunchy, but let’s keep it R-rated at most. References/homages/in jokes highly encouraged as well; it wouldn’t be an IF game without them.

Throw ‘em in my askbox and if I already have that command/item in I’ll let you know, but if you’ve never played this kind of game before and want inspiration, then you can play, online, the 3 games that inspired this one for ideas.

An enabling done been had upon me

After some ideas got bandied about, the Atma Brand Audience has demanded a new game: Lady Nobunatma’s Harembition

You, young lady-identifying type, have been chosen single-handedly by the mighty Genera-les-simo Nobunatma to be her personal assistant and retainer. Your tasks include helping her plan war, fight, conquer, and...most important of all...

...You are now in charge of her harem. You are to go to each new territory claimed and recruit lady NPCs to join her harem, which can be upgraded. At the end of it all, you can choose her a wife, including yourself. You may even possibly be able to overthrow the general herself and take the girls for your own.

The heroine will be, to an extent, customizable and I will either make her faceless (for all your self insert funtimes) or we can pick/vote on a character to generically represent her, like I’m using Fate/ Nobu for me.

So far your job classes include Magical Girl (cleric/paladin) and Idol (bard) because I know my audience. You can always rely on Nobunatma herself to see it through, a sword/rifle dual-wielding machine of death, only she is permanently AI controlled, so good fucking luck.

Release date probably not for some time, but input/ideas on anything always welcome. After all it’s my audience that demanded it.

Yuri Game Jam 2 Entry 1

Come on and slam and welcome to Yuri Jam

What I need now from you all is command suggestions. This is it, the scenario you only get one command to work with. Regardless of what happens, it’s a game over. Good or bad or neutral or whatever or sexy or godawful or confusing end? You have to wait and see which one gets you what.

Some commands may be wholly undoable and some may be redundant (like say, lick and taste might net the same ending) but I’ll see what I can do. I get one month to do this in and I’d like to try to end it a couple days before Halloween so I can prep for NaNoWriMo but if you got ideas, lay it on me.

Yuri Game Jam 2 Notes Entry 0

This is a post to collect my thoughts and pitch my project for Yuri Game Jam 2016, the second of such jams and the second I will be participating in.

Last year, I made the short JRPG/VN lovechild, An Escort Mission, about deducing who in a brothel is an assassin in disguise by hiding out as a janitor.

This year, we’re looking at a similar theme of exploring the idea of multiple ends in “Save The Last Dance”

STLD will be an Interactive Fiction game, think Zork and the like, done in Inform 7. Much like the games that inspired it (Pick Up The Phone Booth And Die, Aisle, and Pick Up The Phone Booth And Aisle) you only get one command and the game ends. Each command gets you a different end. We’ll see how many I can eke out.

STLD is about our favorite lesbian paladin, Lady Siofra Aine Whelan, the Swordarm of the fire goddess Fyrshala, as she faces off against an end boss of one disc out of many if we were on a PS1 JRPG. Her name is Braveleaf Axewound, The Worst Elf, a cleric/ranger gone mad trying to spread the word of the holy martyr, Alicia the Prophet, but isn’t so hot at her job. Braveleaf has Team Rocket levels of luck, but somehow you were caught up in it and here you are, face to face, about to end this fight and move on.

But HOW will you end it and save the day, if you even can?

Coming 2016 from Devil Dyke Industries - Save The Last Dance. 

Because if you don’t, she’s gonna.

What do you write your games in? Jc

For “An Escort Mission” I used RPG Maker 2003, which is on Steam, and while it’s a much older version of it (compared to XP and VX and such that most use now) I am also far far far more familiar with it, where to get/how to make resources for it, and have been using it and vanilla 2K since I was like, wow, 14 or 15? I turn 30 in October so it’s easily been half my life, and can code circles/custom code around it like nobody’s business. I don’t like XP and above because there’s optional Ruby coding, but nobody takes your stuff seriously unless you can do that, and unfortunately I have tried but I am no from scratch coder. Also it’s harder for me to make reasonably good resources in it as I’m also a not from scratch artist and rely heavily on editing pre-existing stuff and templates, which while good looking, don’t really exist for more “newer” or “modern” looking/running versions of it.

For my text games, I use a system called Inform 7, which uses a natural language form of coding and also will let you test run the game as you code it, and will only run for testing/compile if all the code works, so it comes out bug free usually. Sentences like “The box is in the room. The box is opaque and locked. Instead of smelling the box, say “This reeks of mold.”” will program you a box instantly with those properties. It’s pretty neat.

that post/tweet reminded me

since it looks like there’s probably no yuri game jam this year, i am wondering if there’s any interest in me doing my idea i had for it anyways.

last year i made a “guess who” game crossed with a jrpg and metal gear brothel action that contained many humorous bad ends for the gay flirt in you. it sold decently, actually, i was surprised.

this year’s concept was going to be an interactive fiction (think Zork and the like, ye olde infocom, or hell, even frog fractions for a newer one) based on the classic games “aisle” “phone booth” and “pick up the phone booth and aisle” where you only get one action and each one leads you to a weirdly different end. the working title in my head was “pick up the siofra and aisle” since of course it’d star everyone’s favorite gay paladin oc of mine, siofra, the same one on the brothel game above. i’d, of course, include interpreters/possibly an online version to play, all pay as you want as my last game was.

twitter said “yes, more badass fantasy lesbians” and “yes, more cool fight scenes” so i could definitely do this, since it sounds like it’d be my tumblr audience’s thing too.

it’d give me something to do, i need to produce more siofra content anyways since i’m planning on, after nanowrimo, turning her into a pulp novel/web novel serial story indefinitely, like the sci-fi/fantasy rag mags of old. i feel it’s her time to shine in a genre so desperate for non-shitty and non-melodramatic/facing an uphill battle against bigotry LGBT characters.

if you’d like to know about her before you vote either way her official bio (constantly in edit/in progress) is here
