The IF you were talking about sounds interesting and a male!pov/mc?
Do you perhaps have more?
Do you mean more info about the IF?? Just ask @sindearst... /hj BUT sure, I have some more... just a bit because again, it just a small idea he had in mind ^^
So it was gonna be an male!MC(genderlocked) IF about trauma and growing up, I think he said that he was planning three books about it(child, teen and adult) which is where I got the idea of having three books for this IF(emil's age)
Anyways :D it was gonna be one RO IF where you fall inlove with this guy and the main point was like trauma, queerness and growing up and how trauma affects someone, apparently he said that it was gonna be set in the 2000s ehich was an interesting choice.
Thats all he said aka in his little notes!! So thats all the information I have on me :D

since this is set in the 1950s, will there be mentions of war? like world war 1 and war world 2
Yep, there will be mentions of war of world war 1 and world war 2 in the game since I think its important because in present time, it takes place after so I think it affects the lore and war is obviously horrible so I will be mentioning it.
Wasn't it called the great war or was it only for world war 1 ? I have to read and watch about the ww1/ww2 again, its interesting.
I was thinking about making an IF about in ww1 or ww2 but I don't know what I am going to make because it's a sensitive topic and the only ideas I have is being a soldier... or maybe a postman ? like you deliver news to the lovers or family of the dead soldiers or something ?? Or being a teenager or growing up during war ? hmmm, or a nurse during one of the wars ? A spy or a translator (like you are made to translate different languages or smth) or a entertainer (for hope and just to make things more brighter) HMMMMM and of course mention the war crimes committed during every war because its important and I don't get why they try to hide the DARK side of it aka japan war crimes against china.
I have so many IF ideas about different timelines and different ideas like 1900s-2000s, its crazy because I want to do dark and horrid historical ways like what I am doing with this IF, its about dark side of hollywood and child stars.
I feel like you have lots of games ideas, shall them... give me ideas/j... or /hj
Yk, I was gonna ignore you since i did have some ideas but I am gonna share ideas that I gave up on or I know I probably won't get into...maybe !
1. untitled online game
This takes place in the 2014 and its where you play as a online deity who travels to different internet places and there was a few ROs planned, like I had an idea for 5 and it was gonna be a short game. Each chpater inolves around 1 RO so short game again planned, about 6 chapters where the 6th chapter is the ending of your chosen RO but it showws like different problems of the internet.
(1)male RO named "Kite" online / "Yuri" offline and he dealed with depression and social anxiety where you had to deal with his problems, make him worse or better but too worse, he kills himself.
(2)female RO named "Cali" online / "Ann-Marie" offline and she is like a cyberbully of the internet and just is a bully, where yiu can make her worse and her better. Making her worse which I planned it to be was getting in trouble with police.
(3)nb RO named "Spiders" online / "Alice" offline which they deal with blackmailing and being a subject of it, which you can again worse or better. Worse was planned to be suicide due to the blackmailing.
(4)trans RO "Sunset" online / "Ellis / Elise" offline (yes this is where I decided to keep that name for this game lol), and they deal with grooming and a toxic online relationship, worse or better once again. Worse is they meet up with their toxic 'lover' and gets kidnapped / never seen again.
(5)gn RO "Reader" online / "Aj / Alyce" offline which is just a porn addicted person who is too addicted lmao and thats the problem with them. Again worse or better, the worse ending was planned which is they get in trouble lile false news towards them and its like a police raid or smth !
So MC would be an internet 'angel' described by the ROs and they know everything about them since again its the internet, that's the whole plot of this IF idea that I had lol !
(0) Why I didn't go through with this one or might not continue it, It was kinda hard to code in my opinion well to me it was and I didn't want to go through with it because I didn't like this story that much but its interesting now and maybe some more IFs I want to do, I will bring back these characters or as an easter egg !
(read below for more)
2. untitled confused game
This takes place in around 2017 which is about an MC and one RO where its about childhood and trauma (ofc) and going back to the hometown where MC came from. This was about an child goes through something traumatic (where you can pick a background; sexual abuse, emotional abuse, or psychical abuse) and it had it own routes, where the MC meets a friend named "Bea" and Bea is GN and the RO, MC lives for a while and comes back after college (would be 24yo) and meets Bea again but its weird, trauma comes back and they meet their past abuser, it would have like 5 chapters planned or less since its about trauma and getting over it.
(1) Bea is supposed to be an RO where you begin to wonder if they are real or fake but in the end, Bea is made up. MC made Bea up to forget their trauma and was a comfort person to MC but they still would like the traumatic stuff that MC had gone through and there were two endings, I planned for Bea and MC.
(2) The Bad Ending, MC gets lost in trauma and doesn't get over it, they fall more in as Bea slowly turns into their abuser and it gets worse, MC's ending is suicide for this one which symbolizes, someone can't move on and try to get better.
(3) the good / true ending is where MC manages to get over it and Bea slowly leaves and its a symbol for that MC got over it and someone who wanted to escape and they did, so its a good ending for MC.
(0) Why I didn't go through with it or might not continue it, I wasn't so sure because it will deal themes of SA / sexual abuse or violence and I planned to show it kinda of since but also in a way where its childish or silly, another part was because I didn't where else to go with this !
3. untitled horror carnival game
This takes place in 1919 around the era of world war 1 and after it ended and it is in Germany or Japan, I couldn't figure it out that much but it was when MC was forced into it as a child so the story starts like in 1910s or during it and now they are 18 or 19, idk but it was about MC wanting to escape because the carnival wasn't healthy for them and the workers / co-workers aren't so nice to MC during it, so its about escaping. I wasn't sure about ROs but I planned 3 ROs for this IF.
(1)male RO was named "Mister Yo" and he was a rich man who would watch the shows and was about the age of 48 and was way older who met MC when they were 17 when they tried escaping but Yo recognized MC from the show before that and managed to distract them until the head leader of the carnival caught up and got MC back.
(2)female RO was named "Fern" and she was another worker but a bit younger than MC, which I planned her to be 17 or 16 at first then going to 17 and then to 18 as the story went on and she was asexual so no chances of sexual things with her also due to her age but she was a bit clumsy and MC often got in trouble for her mistakes.
(3)nb RO was named "Erna" and they were 23 and they were fairly rich and helped people during the war, a medic so they came often traveled and came by the carnival and is the one that tries to help MC and Fern escape.
(0) Why I didn't go through with this or might not continue it, it was due to the themes which I didn't think much about when I was creating an idea of this IF which war crimes, abuse, sexual violence and grooming but I was like eh plus one of the ROs being 16-18 so I decided against it but who knows !
4. untitled toxic relationship game.
This was inspired by the Tyler the Creator song, IFHY and it was about an toxic relationship where MC is either the abuser or the Victim in this relationship just to see both sides, the relationship being a toxic, all-consuming relationship. I planned two ROs for this IF.
(1)gn RO which was named "Sam / Samantha" and they were the lover of MC and either being the Abuser or the Victim in this IF and they were obviously harming the MC or themselves.
(2)gn RO which was named "Kason / Kate" and they were the best friend of Sam / Samantha where you go to them or S goes to them and is just a kinda secret or sub RO, and they were there for an ending.
(3) There was two endings planned well four, two endings for K and two endings for S, and it was a bad and good ending but I had no clue for them and another 2 endings, which MC choices none and lives on their own, bad or good again no plans.
(0) Why I didn't go through with this or might not continue, this was like an idea that I suddenly had after listening to Tyler The Creator playlist and that song IFHY popped up, but I really had no clues for endings or how the characters would react or the Abuser / Victim routes will go also the topic of MC being the Abuser (which I was fine with it but not sure if anyone else was fine with it lol !)
5. untitled monster fucking game
This would take place like in 2018-2019 which is what I planned but I guess it doesn't matter now that I think about it ! But your lover whom you thought was a human while you met them as a child, turns out to be an monster and this was more towards comedy and romance where it wasn't as dark as my other games and I got this idea because I was like , its my first time making an IF and like posting it so I was like, I shouldn't make something dark ! Only one RO planned for this maybe another RO would work lol !
(1)gn RO named "White" regardless of gender and they met you as an child while they were a young one as well and they slipped up and you found out that they are a monster.
(2)which is the idea that I now came up with and its an secret RO or sub RO where it's a monster hunter gn RO and no name planned LOL ! but this is the idea !!
(3)No endings planned since it was just a small thought for this but maybe you can come up with some ideas.... !
(0) Why I didn't go through with this or might not continue, this was a small idea and was more on the comedy side and I am going to be honest, I am not that good with funny stuff and it wasn't my style of things and also it was just a small and sudden I had.
6. untitled gay historical game.
This takes place during and after world war 2 where you play as an male-locked MC who falls in love with an male named "Wellison" again this name was taken for this IF lol ! but Wellison is a playboy when you were both younger and again it centered but unrequited love and homophobia, where Wellison gets married to an woman but you too are still close and MC is mentally unwell so wasn't in the war and its about longing as well !
(1) MC longs for Wellison and it was short, where there are really no ROs lmao but MC would have romantic and sexual choices with Wellison before he got married but its more about forgetting the longing or still have the longing of another who doesn't feel the same.
(2) The endings would be letting go where MC lets go of Wellison finally another other was cling on which MC still holds on Wellison and I planned it to be like 4 or 5 chapters !
(0) Why I didn't go through with this or might not continue, I wasn't sure because it was more like longing and not everyone will like this which was the idea or things I came up with like oh, people probably wouldn't like this and I wasn't sure how it would go !
That is all, its not in order but it was the ideas that I found again in my notes or just suddenly remember but it might not be the notes that I originally came up with...
I think I first came up with that Monster fucking IF, then confused game then toxic relationship game, then maybe the gay one or online which then and finally lastly It was carnival game.
hiii author if you don’t mind asking, where are you from? <3
Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy.
Okay, anyways. I was born in Canada (oops lived in America until I was 3 then moved away), my mother was born in Canada and my dad is from... somewhere (she said it was a random hookup so idk where he was from but she said that he didn't look American, whatever that means), I don't know since he isn't here, he left but my stepfather is from America.
