I’ll admit it. I first read your post and thought: it’d be interesting if it weren’t for the pugs. So I’m all for a realistic yet still lighthearted version

And I thought it was interesting because of the pugs. You can’t win this one. Although you’ll probably get more sales with humans.

In my opinion, whether it’s Pugs or Poles, you should add a serious tone to the game. I think it has the right tone for a Cold War political game, and I think it would sell better than being considered a passing meme game.

Hi! I’ve been working on this idea for a while now, and finally, I got the guts to post it here to see if there is really someone interested or not. Unfortunately, English is not my first Language, but I do have a decent writing (At least I hope so). However, I apologize in advice.

If you want to work alone, I won’t certainly blame you; BUT you can always work with some of your colleagues and chose one of them as your partner. Coughs Maybe even flirt with them, if you wish.
And whenever you have time, or you solved (or Failed… ^^) a case, you will have the chance to improve your skill and relationships, or spend your time at Brooke’s bar. Have a nice drink, Detective. Or if a bar doesn’t suit you, don’t worry, there are gonna be other places.

A superhero story. Sign me up
Hi there, I’ve been mulling over a story idea to turn into a game, and I wanted to see all your opinions.
The title right now is “Summer Rain”, primarily inspired by the book “Bridge to Terabithia”, the manga series “Blue Lock”, and the WIP game “Nothing Left to Burn”.
Basically you are a high school junior who is one of the star players on the soccer team. You start the story winning the quarter finals of the state tournament and will have the chance to play in the semi-finals and final match. Throughout the story, you’ll also be dealing with typical high school fun, struggles, and fighting for an athletic scholarship or getting scouted out for a professional team.
One of the key stats/choices I’m planning on implementing is your primary soccer talent (agility vs physique vs control vs striking) and personality (individualistic vs altruistic).
The main side characters and romances are:
-
Summer Hernandez
- Your optimistic best friend and a speedy dribbler who is also an artistically talented junior. Plays as a winger.
- Short, messy golden hair. Vibrant green eyes.
-
Charles/Charlotte “Charlie” Calfuray
- Your team captain and competitive rival; a fierce junior playing as a physically imposing striker, with a somewhat arrogant yet elegant personality.
- Slicked black hair with purple highlights tied in a high bun. Hazel eyes.
-
Rowan Vermont
- A socially awkward and timid high school sophomore with high levels of technique, physique, calculative plays, and immense potential. Plays as a midfielder.
- Simple, clean strawberry red hair. Striking blue eyes.
-
Jackson/Jacqueline “Jackie” Vermont
- A charismatic high school soccer sophmore on the final opposing team with a secret introverted nature. Rowan’s twin sibling. They are a versatile player with an exceptional physique, instinct, and superior skills in nearly every aspect of soccer. Plays as a midfielder.
- Strawberry blonde hair color with warm amber eyes.
As the title and inspirations suggest, I might incorporate trouble occurring with Summer, be it family trouble or a serious leg injury (probably no deaths here). The setting will also take place in an eternally hot city that hasn’t had rain in decades.
I’d like to see what y’all think about this.

As the title says would you like to see a Werewolf story with a Human MC?
Personally, I would love to see a story about Werewolves that centers around a Human MC.
I think it would be interesting to see a traditional werewolf story from the eyes of a human that is invested in helping werewolves for some reason or another. I have seen several instances of this phenomenon in other media between Humans and Vampires but almost never between Humans and Werewolves which is a big shame as I have always found Werewolves to be the most interesting of the supernatural’s but something that is rarely touched on and is usually filled with typical werewolf tropes or cliches.
I think it could also provide for a lot more possible storytelling avenues than a pure werewolf focused book. Of the three major Werewolf focused COG stories I have read all three of them heavily revolve around similar storyplots of fighting to defend your home and family from latest superstrength nemesis. I think a Human MC could provide a little more leeway to diverge from the traditional bloodthirsty trope that Werewolves seem to be associated with and have at least a little more development between the two species.
TLDR:
I would like to see a Werewolf story that rely less on common tropes and gore and focuses more on a Human characters interaction with them.

Gonna throw in 2 concepts that are in the early stages. I figure writing them down for people to see will motivate me to work on at least one of them to flesh out.
IDEA 1 - Witch’s Mark
Pitch - An IF game where you learn you have magic powers and go to a secret school to train as a witch. Inspired by some magic academia media such as Winx Club and Little Witch Academia.
Summary
For centuries, the mystical and supernatural have lived in a parallel world from ours in order to stay hidden from the Hunters, people who know of magic and want to eradicate it. However, there will always be curious folk who bend the rules and try to interact with our world. You’re 17 years old when you run into a moody tourist who turns out to be a witch being chased by a Hunter. That’s when you accidentally tap into powers of darkness and get the chance to go to Blackthorn Academy. Learn to harness your new powers and who you really are.
Features
- choose your gender and pronouns. customize appearance. have personality stats. have some customization for a witch’s mark on your body
- go to school to become a Witch of Darkness. go to classes and pick an elective. learn basic spells along with more unique spells that set you apart from your friends
- make friends with 3 other witches at school. maybe date one of them
- make a petty enemy out of a fairy from the rival school. maybe befriend them? maybe date them?
- make a more dangerous enemy out of someone else
- learn where your magic comes from
- get a witch familiar
Romanceable Characters
- Mell - Witch of Colors (she/they) - the moody goth that you save at the start. they’re an artist, their magic manifests as colorful paint
- Zephyra - Witch of the West Winds (she/her) - an upbeat and sporty witch who is in the track and racing teams. their magic manifests as wind
- Yuni - Fae of Twilight (xe/xem) - a fairy from the rival school. seems like a popular “mean girl” type but maybe there’s more to xem
- 2 more characters planned but in early stages with no names yet
IDEA 2 - Project Pleiades
Pitch - An IF game where you and a group of teens discover a virtual reality world with a malevolent AI that is trying to escape and cause harm in the real world. Inspired by Code Lyoko
Summary
When your step-sister is accepted into the esteemed computer-science program at Seven Sisters Preparatory School, your mom agrees to enroll you in as a sophomore as well. While exploring the campus, you and your step-sis discover an abandoned laboratory with VR devices and a high-tech computer. After managing to turn it on, an artificial intelligence known as MAIA awakens and starts causing trouble at the school. However, a 2nd AI also appears named Alcyone who convinces you to put on a VR headset and enter the Pleiades world and attack MAIA from the inside. Quickly enough, you befriend other students and they become involved in protecting Pleiades while your sister acts as mission control.
Features
- choose your gender and pronouns. customize appearance both in real world and VR avatar. have personality stats
- choose how you treat your step-sister, feel about your parents marrying, and feel about having to leave your old school
- enter the Pleiades world to fight against MAIA
- you still have to go to classes but this probably won’t be hugely focused on
- make new friends to help you in the fight against MAIA. maybe date one of them
- this is an idea I’m unsure of, but I like the thought that there can be “rival” romances between characters?? like, characters can be interested in people outside of MC and you can trigger events somehow. It might be something complicated but I’m thinking about it
Characters
- Cynthia - (she/her) The Genius Step-sister A very bright girl who’s a year younger than you. Is also impulsive, she is the main reason why MAIA and Alcyone awaken. Acts as navigator for the people who enter the VR world
- Alcyone - (she/her) The Starry-Eyed AI
- (RO) Marcos - (he/him) The Surly Fighter
- (RO) Iris - (they/them) The Bubbly Gossip
- (RO) Korina - (she/her) The Gloomy Gardener
- one more character planned for the main team
- I’m interested in Idea 1: Witch’s Mark
- I’m interested in Idea 2: Project Pleiades
- I’m interested in both ideas

Alright, I’m planning to create Cyberpunk Vigilante story. I’m really trying to see if people would be interested in the concept and thoughts on ideas and just have a place to see the community…
I’ll try my best to keep it to the main points:
The world Im creating could probably be seen in relation to Post-Cyberpunk, or where technology isn’t made to be terrible.
It follows the set up of a gilded cage world, Neo Solaris is seen as a utopia in the eyes of those in the upper city, miraculous technology allows everything from your hair to your genetics to be customizable. Technolgy has brought humanity to an era where there is no crime, disease or homelessness; a golden city.
However, the truth of the matter is built upon the broken roads and buildings of the old city after the disaster known as the Eclispe, rejects of society are now tossed into the lower city and left to make a living away from the process of new society. Anything deemed unacceptable is cast away, leaving the lower city a cesspool of criminals and violence.
The story takes place where the MC is ripped away from their content life, as they are robbed and left for dead - Deleted from the system that governs the upper city. Unable to return to the higher city they set out on a quest of vengence to regain their old life.

You had me at Code Lyoko. It was my favorite cartoon when I was a kid.
Maboroshi is an Interactive Fiction Game based in the world of Naruto, however all events within the story span during the end of the First Shinobi War and the beginning of the Second Shinobi War.
Long ago, many years before you were born, the countries of the world were entrenched in warfare for land. Mighty warlords and noblemen wished to expand their territory; however, blood would need to be given in exchange; Unfortunately, for the people of the land, the blood given as payment was not theirs. Instead, shinobi across the lands sacrificed their lives to fulfill the greedy lord’s wishes. Villages would soon be pillaged, children and women would perish from famine, and demonic creatures would rise from the darkest parts of the world to roam the earth. This would later be known as the Warring States Era.
Twenty years later, all of the infighting, battles, and wars would just…cease to exist. No one knows what caused the wars to stop; many believe that an inner deal was made between Daimyo across the land, while others believe that something much more sinister is at play. Regardless, the ninja world seems to have finally settled into peace and harmony.
It has been some years since the Warring States Era ended. Villages across the land have been ushered into peace, and the village of Kirigakure is one of them.
Having just graduated from Ninja Academy, you’re now a Genin placed into your forever squad. Focused on growing stronger and building a name for yourself. You set your sights on becoming the strongest nin in your village, and who knows? Maybe you’ll even become Mizukage someday. Before that happens, you’ll need to pass the Chunin exam, a test that is said to have painted the very soil underneath your feet red.
Tonari Yuma, a missing-nin from your village once accused of kidnapping and killing five children from all across the Land of Water, has resurfaced as a chieftain in the small village of Kirostache.
Proclaiming himself to be the rightful Mizukage of the Land of Water. He wages war against Kirigakure and denounces your village as a town full of traitors, united in dethroning the Daimyo by the usage of dark means. Your father calls it foolish. There is no way that the Water Daimyo would believe such a basis.
Or so he hopes.
A conspiracy is brewing in the Land of Water, and you will soon learn that life is not as idealistic as you believed.
Note: Maboroshi is intended for 16+ audiences. Strong Violence and Swearing/Cursing will be in the IF. The warning list will be updated as we continue. Intro Post is still being pulled together, so if there are any questions, let me know!

- Izuna Uchiha (M): The Rival
A boy shrouded in mystery, he just happened to show up in your village and has been a thorn in your side ever since. Replacing one of your squad mates, he has taken your shine as being the most skilled in the team. Something that you cannot let go.
He’s a stranger amongst a tight-knit village and has found himself to be treated like an outsider. You would feel bad for him if he weren’t so smug. Izuna possesses an aptitude for Taijutsu and Genjutsu that almost seems otherworldly. And it makes no sense to you, considering that you hardly see the boy practice! It will be interesting to see how he grows up. If he can make it.
- Chihiro Inoue (F): The Dreamer
One of your squad mates, she is a loud and outspoken girl with large dreams and big ambitions. Working to become the first female Mizukage, Chihiro often displays headstrongness and an overzealousness that can often get her into trouble. Luckily for her, fortune always seems to work in her favor.
Chihiro possess an extremely high aptitude for Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, calling herself a self-proclaimed weapons master. She gives as good as she gets, and has no problem getting a little dirty.
- Tanui Hozuki (M or F): The Jokester
A jokester, they seem to have no desire in becoming a ninja; but with all that chakra they possess, they are given no choice. Apart of Squad Six, it makes no sense why you seem to run into them all the time, but you find their presence comforting.
You know nothing about their fighting style; only hearing whispers of the ‘wicked’ things that they have summoned from the adults in your village.
Other NPCs
-
Akane Uzumaki: your mother is revered as the five-tailed beast’s holy priestess/vessel. Once labeled as one of the strongest Kunoichi in your village, she has settled into domestic life and has left behind a life of adventure. She seems content, however, you catch the sorrowful expression on her face whenever she looks at you.
-
Your Father [[Chooseable Name]]: Your father is a distant cousin of the Water Daimyo, considered a war hero for his actions in a rebellion that lasted almost ten years. He has been given the highest spot in the village as “supporting Kage,” only second to the Mizukage himself.
-
Hanabi Sugawara: Your sensei; is not what you had expected in a teacher. Seeming to coddle your small team of three more than teaching you. You feel that she is hiding something, something that could put everyone in danger.
Hey everyone, my name is Summora! When I was a kid I loved Naruto, and always imagined what the life of a Shinobi would be like in different villages and different time periods. So this project is my dream come true! If you guys have any specific questions or want more information about the IF, hit my tumblr up.

- Takes place before Lucifer’s fall.
- Romance options include demons, angels, or mortals. (Michael and Lucifer are among the romanceable options.)

Hello! I’ve been developing this idea for years, but only started to really work on it this year. Since supernatural/paranormal/urban fantasy stories are really popular, I kinda held myself to share this. But I really need to get it out of my head, so I finally decided to share it 
Beyond the Living Realm
You had a perfect life. Just a few months away from graduating with a cum laude and having secured a place in your dream workplace, you thought you have everything figured out for at least the next five years of your life. You were confident that you could overcome every challenge thrown at you. Even more so with a loving family, friends, and your partner, all of whom you believed will stand with you and do their best to help with whatever hardships you would face.
But you didn’t expect yourself to die.
Attending your own funeral made you realise that all of this is real. You really are dead. Everything you have worked so hard to achieve and working to accomplish are robbed of you. Damn, you haven’t even graduated yet! At least you prefer to die with a degree written beside your name…
Hearing that you were cursed and a devil now demands to collect your soul just makes everything worse for you. You must find a way to lift your curse and avoid spending an eternity in Hell. Not to mention that you need to do so with subtlety, lest the people from the White Knights will come and banish you. Forever.
Features
- Play as a female, male, or non-binary ghost.
- Romance a mysterious witch who’s eager to help you, a hunter who’s determined to banish you, the warlock who accidentally cursed you, or the devil who wants your soul. Or maybe, continue your relationship with the one you have left to die.
- Learn about the world beyond the living realm and the occupants who reside in these worlds.
- Reconnect with those whom you left to die, watch them from afar or just move on.
- Avoid The White Knights, an organisation governed by humans to hunt paranormal beings.
- And avoid the devil who hunts for your soul!
- Go to Hell.
ROs
-
Aria Fontana | Your (ex) partner (M/F) 21
The one whom you left to die. You have been in a relationship ever since high school. Kind, supportive, and gentle, you were grateful to have someone like them stay by your side. And the feelings are mutual. That’s why your death affects them greatly, more than they allow them.
-
Veronica Royce | The Witch (F) 20
The witch who is eager to help you. She approached you at your own funeral, claiming to have knowledge about your death and offered to help you with your condition. Why she wants to help you is a mystery, for you learn after spending time with her that she is an arrogant, ambitious overachiever college student who places her study above everything. Why does she decide to invest her time to help you?
-
Julian Hartman | The Hunter (M) 24
The hunter who is determined to banish you. After you died, he was tasked to get rid of you by the order of the White Knight. He keeps finding you in the worst moments possible, that damn hunter. If not for his intent to banish you, you would mistake him for a suitor. Especially with his flirty attitude and charming smile, the arrogant way he conducts himself like he can makes everyone swoon over him.
-
Ferdinand Giordano | The Warlock (M) ??? (appears 27)
The warlock who accidentally cursed you. In a way, he is the reason why you died and makes you a target both of the hunter and the devil. Although, in his defence, he had no idea you would be his next sacrifice. Not that he ever knows his victims before. You wonder why he sacrifices people and making deals with a devil. Perhaps his young appearance is one of the benefits?
-
The Devil (F) ??? (appears 25)
The devil who wants your soul. Technically, it is her job to collect your soul. The day you died because of that cursed curse marks the contract that binds your soul to her. It’s nothing personal, really. But somehow you feel that she wants you in more than professional way.
note: I haven’t named the devil yet

what are the customization options
The customization options include:
- Name, looks (in both angel form and human form), personality, skills, and independent gender and pronoun selection.
- Choose your weapon. Are you a powerhouse or do you rely more on finesse?
- I’m still designing the magical system, but you will be able to choose your magical specialty.
- I’m thinking of adding a profession in heaven. Are you a healer? Warrior? Reaper of souls? Librarian?
- For now, there are eight romanceable options. You can select the gender of seven of them.
- You will also be able to choose if you side with the traditionalist faction (with Michael/Michelle) or the rebels (with Lucifer/Lucielle).
Is there any customization option you want me to add? Feel free to speak your mind, I’m curious what people want to see too.

I am confused how does a stranger we have never met get to bargain our soul? Tell the devil to go to hell, at least that would be my mc’s reaction he won’t pay for a deal he has not made that does not benefit him to keep up a stranger’s eternal youth! The whole thing of the classical faustian bargain is that it is something the protagonist inflicts on themselves and may or may not get to actually enjoy for a while.
