Hi @RevMcG –
This forum is mainly for Choice Script games. Publisher labels for Choice Script include: Choice of Games, Hosted Games and Heart’s Choice games. The main web site has a catalogue of all published games under these labels, with the forum also offering Works in Progress (WiP) that are shared in hopes of getting feedback.
If you have any questions regarding ChoiceScript, you can always check out this thread: Master List: Links for Beginners, which is a master list of ChoiceScript guides. If you don’t find your issue there, then you can always make a thread asking for help on the #game-development:choicescript-help category, though chances are someone has already asked it, so try and search for it first.
Some users may get impatient and ask when you’ll update your game. This is actually against the forum rules, but we leave it up to every WIP author if they want to personally deal with these questions or not. If ever you don’t, do not hesitate to flag the comment for violating the rules, and a moderator will deal with it.
Oh, here’s some advice regarding your opening post. There’s a known bug that doesn’t let people edit it after a certain number of days or edits (we’re not sure which), so if that happens just message me or any moderator and we’ll fix it right away.
And for organizational purposes, I suggest that you take a look at the markdown reference guide we have here. As your game grows, so will the opening post, and it’s best to get an organized system down now before things get unwieldy. This thread and this thread are very good examples of what I mean.
Lastly, we encourage users to reply to multiple users in the same post, if possible. You can do this by writing @ and then their name. For example, @T.K will tag you as if you had been replied to directly.
I believe that about covers it!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask the community.
Edit: I forgot to address your second main question; sorry. Here is the answer: Choice Script games for the most part (if not all) allow you to interract with them on many different levels. This includes choosing your protagonist’s gender, sexuality, and they normally have various different Love Interests or Romance Options you can chose between. This interactive choice means that more likely than not the Choice of Games, Hosted Games and Heart’s Choice titles you read will allow a male-male romance.
Edit2: The Heart Choices games are a little more romance orientated titles, so they often have restrictions on the protagonist, the romance options, or both that the other two labels do not. The catalogued games do give brief descriptions, which often will lay out any restrictions or features available.
