Hello guys! I created recently this account but was here before that. Reading all the amazing stories, a goal crept into me, to create one too. I think, i may be a little jealous of developers since they make the readers go mad in some cases! (In a good way) They create engaging and captivating stories, with vast backround and everything. It makes you drown in all of it and hope that it will never end.
So, long story short, i started too. Have written 10 pages of content with small choices here…
So I’ve been a huge fan of Choice of Games and Hosted Games since Heroes Rise. I have played a bunch of them ranging from Tin Star, to Slammed, and a number of other great games. I want to take a crack at my first Hosted Game using Choicescript, but I’m not sure how to plan it out and not sound stupid to potential players of the game. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Actually, I’m a complete newbie (even with the forums), so could you tell me what is the purpose of WIP and what all goes there? Are there things like beta testing or feedback? I’d really appreciate it.
I recommend reading through these threads and others (use the search icon that looks like a magnifying glass to find relevant topics–try the term “getting started” and the various “Writer Support Thread” posts). Then, as specific questions come up, post to a thread that has a questions or concern closest to yours.
If there’s no thread that matches your specific question, please feel free to create a thread that asks your unique question…but I bet there will be an existing thread.
