Hello my dear friends,

You can create a post in the HG/WiP category. Common form is to use the name of your game as the title; some people also include the word count in the title.
You should include a plot summary and any features youâd like people to know about (like if you plan to include romance, because people will ask; what kinds of things you can do, like destroy your political enemies with blackmail or financial ruin; some people like to include certain stats, like what sorts of superpowers youâre allowed to choose from, etc).
Donât forget to include the link to your demo! Most people use dashingdon or moody to host their demos; plenty of info on both if you search them in the threads (though I believe moody is kind of becoming the primary site now). Uploading is a pretty straightforward process.
I suggest also including any questions youâd like your readers to answer or any specific kind of feedback youâd like to get (were there parts that were unclear/I need help with grammar/how did you feel about the characters/etc).
It will probably be helpful for you to look at other WiP posts, especially the ones that have a lot of activity, to get a better idea. Good luck!

Last time i had an idea, i didnât commit to it but i feel like giving this another try since i have started learning coding as well.
The story would be loosely based on the Indian epic, Mahabharata, though far different from it plotline wise. You play the Role similar to that of Karna, kind of an anti-villain in the story. The Greatest Realm in the continent is about to go through one of the greatest succession crisis known to man, even gods and demons are taking sides. You, though, donât have anything to do with it⌠Yet.
The character would have some fixed traits such as desire to prove themselves to be the very best archer in the world and a built up Arrogance. Both are necessary for a true rivalry arch and can be problems that can be fixed with character growth.
The story would explore character depth, scheming like never before, pride, caste systemâs influence, bad influence, true meaning of loyalty, valour, goodness and honour. So is there an interest for it?

In âThe Great Indian Gamble,â you have the freedom to lead India as you see fit. However, keep in mind that this is a modern democratic nation, not a setting where you can turn into a full-blown dictator like in Germany under the Nazis. While you can consolidate power, every move you make that pushes away from democratic values will be closely watchedâby the opposition, the media, and, most importantly, the people.
You can take multiple pathsâbecome a strict, authoritative leader, or focus on democratic reforms. But remember, India in 2014 has strong democratic institutions, and any attempts to go too far will lead to criticism, protests, and political fallout. So yes, you can gather more power and rule firmly, but turning India into a dictatorship will have severe consequences.
Play smart, rule how you want, but think realistically!

@Jaydeepsinh_Dabhi congrats on completing a playable demo. That said, I recommend creating a WIP thread to advertise your project. It will be more likely to get views that way. We donât want to clutter the Interest Check Thread with feedback comments for your demo when these could serve you far better in your own WIP thread.

Ok I will take care of that, thanks for your suggestion

EDIT: The forum for this IF is now live. This is the link!
Title: Deux Ă Deux
Author: Ray Wilson
Genre: Drama, Romance, Thriller, Crime
Short synopsis: Youâre barely scraping by your dead-end job when a couple leaves a note as they leave: âQuit your jobâweâll take care of you.â Calling the number on the note throws you headfirst into a world of luxury, intrigue, power, and lust. Tread lightly.
Longer blurb:
"As a server at a self-proclaimed âupscaleâ restaurant in New York City, most of your shifts end with exhaustion, total rage, or vague annoyance. When a beautiful couple leaves you a note with their receipt (instructing you to quit your job and let them âtake careâ of you), along with a $500 tip, youâre intrigued.
You go to their massive townhouse in NoHo and find yourself face-to-face with the most alluring lifestyle youâve ever encountered. Balancing your newfound friendship with the Lyonses, and your own somewhat nitty-gritty lifestyle, is a challenge, but one youâre determined to make work. Once youâre swept up in the Lyonsesâ world, though, itâs hard to escapeâyouâll realize thereâs a dark underbelly to their glamorous, luxurious lifestyle.
Will you become as cold and crooked as the Lyons couple, or will you find another path with their permanent âhouse guestâ? Maybe youâll stay at your crappy serving job and get closer with one of two coworkers, to the horror of the Lyonsesâor maybe even your boxing coach.
Whatever happens, it wonât come easy."
So thatâs the basic idea! I have the whole plot outlined in detail, as well as the characters, but it was initially planned as a book so Iâll need to do further outlining to fit ChoiceScript. Iâve spent the past two days getting familiar with the coding script, and hope to have the first (short-ish) chapter out in a week or two. If youâre interested, please let me know!

Iâve just started writing a game where you play as Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty (you can pick your name, of course). In this game youâll help mortals find love, and even find it for yourself.
The ROs are:
Hephaestus, the grumpy and reserved god of blacksmiths, and your new arranged husband.
Ares, the bold and hotheaded god of war, with a softer side.
Nerites, the playful and loyal ocean deity, whoâs your only true friend
Now hereâs my question. Is there anything youâd love out of an Aphrodite? An aspect of her characterization, a specific Greco-Roman myth, something about one of the boys you think would be interesting, etc?
7 Likes
My only ask would that you keep the Charities as her companions/attendants rather than making new characters to take on that role. In the myths where Hephaestus doesnât marry Aphrodite, he is often married to one of the Charities instead.

Thrilled to finally see some Hephaestus inclusion! Love it!
Iâm torn on this suggestion because Iâm a âGood Boy TMâ player as often as I can be so the likelihood that I would even see this content is low. And why would I suggest you do extra work in that case? But, knowing how much of a meddler she could be, I would enjoy seeing the option to lean into that as a personality. I mean⌠a little messy drama never hurt nobody. Just. You know. Troy. Itâs fine. It worked itself out.

I donât think I know much about the charities? Theyâre officially added to my list of things to research
I definitely want to add in some meddling drama! Nothing too malicious, because the Greek gods can be⌠unlikable at times. But definitely drama and some unusual situations

I would be very interested in seeing the more vengeful, violent, madness inducing side of her. Some feared Aphrodite most out of all the gods, not least of which because ~passion drives you insane.~ She mothered the literal embodiments of fear and terror, albeit with Ares. She was nearly single-handedly responsible for the Trojan war alongside Eris. She was a force to reckon with. Love is the greatest and most horrifying power on Earth, or so they say. (Donât ask me who they are though 
)
On a more light-hearted note though, the myth of Pygmalion would be neat to explore.

This sounded familiar. And sure enough, there is a similar sounding concept explained in tumblr: (Aphrodite: Affairs of the Heart). Are you the creator of this post or did you just stumble upon a similar idea?
Donât let the similarities stop you though! Iâm eager to see this project come to life, especially since that tumblr post seems to be a joke post or parodyâŚ
How about the tale of Eros and Psyche? Its my favorite.
The entire blog is just satire so I donât think Anna_B has anything to do with it.

Title: *The Heirâs Quest: Reclaimation *
Author: Ashwini Mohapatra
Genre: Drama, Romance, Fantasy, War
Short synopsis: With the king killed and you forced to escape from your only known home, will you be able to reclaim your throne or fall to your enemyâs schemes. Tread carefully for each step is filled with treachery and betrayal
Longer blurb:
You are a 16 year old heir to the kingdom formed some 2 generation ago. Both your parents died few years ago making you the last living descendant of your family. You are forced to escape because your cousin kills your elder brother, the current king. The rest of the story is how you reclaim your throne, find love and maybe even a greater destinty like unite the entire realm which has been disunited against multiple invasions from foreign enemies or take the fight to them.
This is the basic idea. I have been toying with the idea of writing with this and few other ideas for last few years in chociescript but has been unable to write it due to lack of time. I have written a prologue which might seem small being some 3.5k but thats only because currently I have made the prologue with gender locked player. If youâre interested, please let me know!
I know the idea may sound like some of the games already available but I would request all to give prologue a try before going ahead.
Also I have not added any image currently since it is in very early stages of planning

No, thatâs not my project. And Iâm glad you like the idea!
Iâm actually planning on doing Eros and Phyche separately, if people like my Aphrodite game. (I even have a weird timeline in my head. Because itâs so obvious that Aphrodite happens before Hades and Persephone. And of course Eros and Phyche comes after that 
)
