For any one wondering what isekai is.

Thanks! I was just about to point that out :rofl:

Basically, you get teleported to a different world (or the world that was teleported to you?).
In most common Isekai story, the MC get superb cheat skills. Mine might be different though :smirk_cat:

Hoping for your responses! Thanks!

I understand where you are coming, but I am an adult and I now have a friend who is willing to proofread my work, so itā€™s fine as it is right now, and Iā€™m not confident that I can make my story as good as I want, since I literally got the the whole idea for it from the name of a song, which Iā€™m gonna be real honest; itā€™s not easy to come up with a good story when your inspiration is 2 words.

What is the story of isekai? I want to see stories like ā€œgateā€ and ā€œnihonkoku shoukanā€.

Iā€™ve been toying with an idea for a game for a while; inspired partially by @AlexClifford1994ā€™s ā€˜Divided We Fall,ā€™ which takes place during the Spanish Civil War. But Iā€™m a bit worried itā€™d have no audience, because the subject matter is rather dark.

My family suffered through the Siege of Leningrad, which was explicitly meant as an extermination. In the course of 3 years, it killed 800.000 people (which for reference is more than the UK and USAā€™s total war dead combined), not counting the 3.4 million casualties the Red Army took defending it. And Iā€™m rather hurt that a lot of people around the world have never even heard of it.

I want to capture some of the experience those people suffered. The moments where they were at their lowest such as when the grain silos were destroyed. The efforts the Union made to try and allow them to hold on just a little longer, by driving supplies over a lake of ice that was only frozen a few centimeters. The sacrifices some of the inhabitants made like the scientists who were willing to starve rather than eat the seeds stored in a vault, in case of apocalypse. The spots of hope and joy like the Leningrad Symphony which Shostakovich had written specially for the city. And the moment where the suffering came to an end.

Iā€™m still thinking about the particulars, but would anyone read it?

This sounds like a wonderful concept! Iā€™d love to play it!

Iā€™m still studying programming, so Iā€™m not sure if I can actually make it, but Iā€™m thinking of making a game called ā€œmission of soyuz L3ā€ (tentative name).

It is a game that aims to realize the landing on the moon earlier than the United States as a development designer comparable to Korolev in the Soviet Union in the space race.

As the head of the 6th Design Bureau (fictitious Design Bureau), the player plays the game as described below.

ā€¢where do you come from? Are you from Russian, ethnic minority, or German brought in?
ā€¢ What are your technical strengths? Guidance, solid fuel, liquid fuel, engine clustering?
ā€¢ Relationships with the Politburo, the military and other design bureaus are also essential to the success of the plan. But they will also bring in political plans that will delay the main lunar landing program.
ā€¢ The lunar landing method is also important. Is it a historically successful LOR, an EOR with a small rocket, or a lunar rendezvous or direct descent?
ā€¢ You also need to manage huge projects. We need to develop a lot of technologies from rockets and computers to space food, and cooperation with team members is also important.

thank you. I donā€™t know if the game can be realized, but I would like to make an effort.

I use some references from The World Strongest Rearguard, Max Level Returner, and Omniscient Readers Viewpoint.

Edit: Oops I forgot to put one more reference, my bad. You should read all of them, at least the last one, itā€™s really a great piece.

ā€œYou lead a rather casual and calm life in a small village at the foot of some forest grounds, in a world where magical creatures roam the local lands, as well as much further and deeper on the earth than your eyes can see.ā€

ā€œBut your life of such tidiness is soon to take a dark and unfortunate turn once your father disappears from every living soul after walking into the depths of the woods, without the thought that he might never be able to see the sun in the sky for one last time.ā€

ā€œAnd with not much surprise, the gloomy villagers are soon to be greeted with the news that your father has been found in the woods, just laying there calmly in the maple leaves, on the ground with an arrow straight between his eyes.ā€

In this story, youā€™ll be battling with the edge of your life, at the tip of the blade, and in the aim of the arrow, get kidnaped by a demon, get a death wish from a ghost. Along your journey, youā€™ll be able to fall in love with a shy vampire, a witty elf, a kind werewolf, or a gorgeous creature in a mask. As well as tame and fight alongside various magical, or non-magical, pets.

Will you find out who murdered your father? Will you get revenge on who did it? Will you escape being murdered yourself? And most importantly, will you create a bond strong enough and hear the Melody of love?


Hey everyone, this is my first IF of which Iā€™m currently working on, as itā€™s named Bloods Melody. I just simply posted this to see what you think about it, and Iā€™ll be looking into releasing a WIP in the coming months.

Hello! So, lately Iā€™ve been learning how to use all commands on CS, by dumping the first idea that came to mind.

Then, I reread the disaster I dare call story, and thought, ā€˜wow, am I actually a genius when I donā€™t think?ā€™

Iā€™d put up the demo, but there are still a few bugs and headaches I need to solve before it can be considered anything close to playable.

I honestly had a blast writing it, but Iā€™d like to know if itā€™s worth spending my time fixing it. Or if I should add it to my endless hope-I-wonā€™t-forgot-about-it list of stories. Because ahem I already have another game Iā€™m working on. cough (I apologize again to those waiting for an update -.-ā€™ I was practicing my coding skills)

ANYWAY (so about the rambling), this is what I have so far:

Synopsis

ā€œA new library has opened in town. Their collection of books is small but people say they never fail to find the book that one seeks for. Come see if the rumours are true?ā€

The Archive is an odd place, popping up out of the blue and charming people into visiting their library with unnatural ease.

The inside of the building has a cozy look to it, and the librarian has a friendly smile on their face that pulls you to them like a moth to the flame. But something about the place is definitely off. What, though, you still canā€™t say.

Will you find the perfect book for you, or will you choose to solve the libraryā€™s mystery instead?

Details
  • This game is actually two books in one.
    • ā€˜The Archiveā€™s Secretā€™ (letā€™s call it that) includes uncovering the mystery of the library and its librarian.
    • While ā€˜The Tales Of Aurumā€™ is a book that the librarian will offer you to play. This book includes two (of more, but this depends on many things) stories you can choose from. WWhich gives the game a total of three (or more) stories you can pick from.
  • Current word count is 13k
  • And the game includes: medieval low fantasy, medieval high fantasy, and romance. Though the list may vary depending on the ā€˜Talesā€™.

Thank you! @Valixon

Iā€™ve created a thread and put up a link to the demo after all, if youā€™re interested. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I understand it might seem lacking, but remember that my first concern was the coding :sweat_smile: Iā€™ll add and fix things if people like it.

Dude, Iā€™m just imagining how funny this could be. Like, you go to this library looking for a book, and you just keep on stumbling into all this weird stuff without trying to. Eventually it escalates into this climatic thing and youā€™re here like ā€œI JUST WANTED A COPY OF LOTR!!!ā€

This sounds like a awesome game!! Iā€™m gonna be keeping my eyes out for a demo, Iā€™ll play it the second it goes live!!!
