I’ve been thinking about making sort of a superhero universe. All the books would be through hosted. I would try to make it similar to marvel in the way that multiple individual books that eventually intertwine. I would try to avoid some of the more stereotypical norms of superheroes and branch out a little bit. Ideally I can find six other people that each come up with their own superhero and are in control of their story and those six will be apart of the team while I have my own that I’ll make.

That sounds like a cool idea! will there be any potential for a female ro or gender selectable ones in general?
It’s likely that at least one of them will eventually be gender selectable. But for now at least, I’m going to write them as male. I love IF, but I’d be lying if I said coding wasn’t a nightmare 
. So I’m going to do a first draft that’s simple, coding wise. Then as I do edits and rewrites I’m going to look at the coding and stuff

seems interesting and I will definitely check it out when you know,it’s out .also,I have no problem with just male Ros that’s what I always romance anyway.good luck !
Had an idea for an IF that I would like to flesh out (and maybe try my hand at making it), so I thought I should at least get some opinions here.
I feel like there’s a distinct lack of historical (non Fantasy) and Dystopian fiction, so this is both of those.
It takes place in an alternate history (not so subtly inspired by TNO) where Germany won The Second World war. It takes place in the mid late 50s, in Paris, currently controlled by the French State, a de jure independent country lead by Joseph Darnand. However, it’s no secret that the French government is just a puppet to the German Reich, and (somehow) more worryingly, the Order-State of Burgundy lead by the SS. This government is (unsurprisingly) extremely oppressive and racist, treating non-Germanic people like dirt, and fear keeps resistance at bay… Until now.
You play as a young laborer. Fresh off high school you slave a way in a factory day in and day out. Your father was a member of a resistance group, but he “disappeared” a few years ago. All you have left of him is some books and a small necklace and some illegal books.
Eventually you meet the resistance group your father was a part of, and you start working with them. This group is small, only about 6 members, but managed to assassinate a minister. You have to decide your strategy to beat back the government and whether or not you are ok with murder and terrorism in the name of your cause.
There will probably be a small form of ideology system, where the books your father left you will change which ideology you have. This will mainly affect your relations with the other members as well as maybe strategy.
I will probably have some romance, thinking 4 of the 6 members.
If there are any questions, shoot. I want this idea to be fully fleshed out.

That’s an interesting idea! I enjoy historical fiction (all those what-ifs to explore) and I’m curious to see how your project takes shape. I guess my biggest question is how grim/dystopian do you see the story getting overall? From your description, it could be anywhere from a very angsty introspective piece about morality vs necessity to a more action oriented spy-thriller about banding together to win the day.
Both options could lead to a very good take on your premise, but where you put your focus seems likely to have a ripple effect on how the game gets structured/what stats and challenges become more important. And of course there are other directions to go in as well. I do hope you continue with it!

While it definitely will be quite grim, especially at the start, I don’t want it to be 1984 level “all revolt is doomed” grim. I want to show the terrible system that Naziism is while also showing it’s inefficiencies that could ultimately lead to it’s downfall. So it would be grimer in tone but with elements of that sort of spy thriller as well as you combat the regime. The moral dilema of how far you should go to accomplish your goals will certainly be a key player, especially between the different members of you rebel group.
Also thanks for the interest!

Maybe you can even set it in the TNO verse? Given how cool the devs are with the various submods wouldn’t surprise me if they let fans do a choice game as well.
Want to give mc’s a real dilemma, have the “kinder, gentler” more “liberal” dengist version of Nazism of Speer prevail while having Kirkpatrick in the US which makes the main two blocks competing for France be a lighter shade of black and dark grey.
Honestly I was thinking of that at first, but I’ve decided against it for a few reasons
-
My story isn’t going to fully follow the lore nor the story of TNO. It has some pretty major differences, like the leader and political situation of France and Europe as a whole. I also don’t wanna really give all the lore of this world and leave the outside world up to the imagination, at least at first. I think there are enough differences that it should be it’s own thing.
-
On a practical side, while i think the TNO devs would be fine with a Fangame, I’m pretty sure anything actually published by HG has to be sold for profit, because it’s a company. And I don’t wanna run into that kinda thing, especially because TNO itself is of course free (well you have to buy Hoi4 but still)
so, uh? i usually just lurk the forms but this idea has been cooking in my head for a while, so i decided to make an account to check if anyone would be interested, if i committed to writing it ; it’s just a basic idea for now, i will get the nitty gritty stuff figured out later if i commit to it.
Welcome to H.E.L.L. (Heaven’s Eradication of Lethal Lowborns) takes place in a world where magic exists, and where angels, demons, and other non-human beings have integrated into human society, and humans with theirs. H.E.L.L., the company founded by Archangel Michael to keep lowborns - AKA demons - in check, has been cracking down hard against them as of late, following a string of murders seemingly connected to a demonic cult consisting lowborns and humans. As revenge, Lucifer Moringstar herself sent you, a lowborn demon, to destroy H.E.L.L… from the inside!
You’ll play as a demon with a semi-set personality (which can change over the course of the story) aiming to take H.E.L.L. down, with the guidance of Demonic Overlord and Lucifer’s overworked son, Leviathan.
Setting
New York, because all the best things take place in New York. I see it taking place around 2022-2023 in a world similar to ours, just with magic, angels, demons and stuff.
Potential RO List
- Leviathan: he/him. Demonic Overlord and the son of Lucifer. He represents the sin of Envy, but he doesn’t seem too envious. Instead, he seems tired and overworked, but he’s been tasked by his parent Lucifer to watch over your progress and guide you through your quest via a mental-link.
- Yahvi/Yahdu Gupta: either he/him or she/her. A cold-hearted demon hunter who… obviously hates demons. Their family was killed by demons, and recently someone close to them was taken by the demonic cult.
- Raguel: she/her. A fallen angel, of sorts… she willingly chose to leave Heaven with her best friend Gabriel. Now they both work as detectives of sorts in the R.A.G. Agency (literally just Raguel and Gabriel Agency) they founded together. She’s the brains of the operations, and they’ve been hired by an outsider to investigate the recent string of murders… even if it means getting close to H.E.L.L.
- Gabriel: he/they. There’s no secret that before they left Heaven, they had a falling out with their sibling Michael- what it was is a secret, but you’ve got a feeling it’s connected to everything happening now. He’s the brawn of the agency, and leaves the talking to Raguel- any talking he does, he does with his fists.
Other Important Characters
- Michael: they/them. The Big Bad and the Giant Asshole themself. Michael is God’s Right Hand Man, the most powerful Archangel there is. They’re charming and got a killer shark-tooth smile, and humans love them thanks to their work at H.E.L.L… If you believe Lucifer, they’re just a big phony who dug themself a pit deeper than literal hell itself, and will do anything to get themselves out.
- Lucifer Morningstar: she/they. The biggest politician there is, truly. Pantsuits, personal assistants, evil schemes, the whole nine yards. It’s no surprise she’s trying to take out Michael- not only would it stop her subject’s torment, it’d give her a big boost against Satan in approval ratings. They’d have to reelect her!
Quick Notes
- in this, Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel are depicted as siblings
- i’ve already decided that if i commit there’ll be no poly options- i just don’t see any of the ROs getting along together, romantically
- satan and lucifer are running against each other for president of hell. yeah??
- lucifer was inspired by brandon rogers’ character bryce tankthrust… take from that what you will
it’ll be some time before anything comes out of this if i commit, i’m a highschool student and am starting a job soon, but this has just been bouncing around my head a lot and i just wanted some feedback!

I just have a quick questions, wanting to check with the thread on two things to see what people think. (I hope it’s okay to ask here since these questions pertain to something not yet with a demo ready for release, though the project is related to my WIP.)
Should a romantic option be considered as such if you only get to romance them up until the end of that game? Would you prefer to not have a romantic option at all if the main character is guaranteed to outlive them throughout the series? (AKA no mortal romance options)?
- I think RO’s can and should include mortals, even if the fate of the relationship is bleak.
- I would be interested in mortal ROs, though am concerned about the dynamics for their relationship.
- I would rather have a focus on my character romancing other immortals.
- I’m not really interested in the idea of romance for an immortal character.

Can anyone help me here
?
I uploaded my game on dashingdon dot com.But the *create_array command is not working it is giving me that alert:nonexistent command create_array.
What could be the problem
A Kiss from Death actually tackled that Immortal and mortal romance quite good. It’s bittersweet. The part where one of the romance grew old and forgotten that your mc was their lover got me cried. My most favorite part was the one where you romanced a siren/mermaid(?). Been a while since I’ve read that.

You can open a new thread for that. But to answer you, the command *create_array is new and probably not supported by dashingdon yet.

So you are saying the is no way to get my game for WIP ,meaning there is no way of testing it as long as I have those arrays in my startup?
You can compile it to html and upload it as html, but then you miss the dashingdon built-in save system 
But I suggest you reach out in the DashingDon thread and ask there if there’s another way.
