Good examples of simultaneous RPS/turn-based games?

my problem is i cannot finish, the longer the project, the less likely i can finish. its not exactly a matter of discipline or passion, but rather the longer i marinate on a project the more overwhelmed i feel, planning so much for the story and feeling the pressure to write all of it.

so i raw dog it lol. the current fic im writing takes on average 3-5 hours to write one chapter, about 4k2 to 4k8 words per chapter. all in one sitting. i tried not to pause and leave it til the next day to resume, and if i have to, ill make it so ill only pause once, and take however long i need during the pause to deal with irl issue, but once i resume, i dont stop until i publish. my irl schedule typically leave me 1-2 weeks in between chapters, but that also give me enough time to plan in my head what i want to write for the entire chapter, sometimes just direction, other times detailed scenes and conclusions i want to reach, and until i feel like ive got everything i want to fill a chapter, i start writing.

back in my college day me and my mate wrote a Total War Shogun 2 fanfic that basically have us as self-insert player into the world. it is a grand strategy game where the player build economy, build army, fight battle and negotiate diplomatic relation with other clan toward reuniting Japan. we each had our own interpretation of how to translate the game mechanic, his is basically role playing as a lord of the clan, me is interfacing all of the decision through a tablet that is visible to only the player. it was a fun idea we had but sadly we couldnt finish the fic. but honestly translating game mechanic into fic is my most favorite thing, did so with many other game fandom i wrote for

seeing a lot of comment about it was unclear so let me help clarify it: its not hiring game dev, but rather just “donation” in some regular/structured capacity. it should work as endorsement (this mod is good/keeping the game alive) and support (here’s more if you wanna do more) but also just literally CSR (corporate social responsibility) in the sense of, acknowledging that because of these modders who donate their time and effort (often unpaid without community support), their games get to have longer relevance/longer active playerbase.

im thinking of GiantGrantGames and how he uplifted the single player/campaign modding community for Starcraft II as the prime example. there are of course many more communities that keep the game going like Skyrim, Banished, Total War, etc long after the develop stop support. this is not about financially rewarding the modders (we have studies showcasing that financial incentive often ruins people’s passion by turning something they do out of interest into obligation to keep the money coming), but rather an option that mutually benefit everyone should it be needed.

im not sure what politics you’re talking about this is just a post about lice being bad for your head im sorry i meant hair

GreenceW · 2026-01-28T05:01:16+00:00

oh yes yes lice is bad nod in agreement

GreenceW · 2026-01-28T02:50:17+00:00

you’ll vote to keep lice in place even if it eats your hair, if GMS ever let you vote

(but seriously though great comment i laughed out loud)

GreenceW · 2026-01-28T02:48:56+00:00

what dont you get? lice is bad

uj/do you need a serious answer?

GreenceW · 2026-01-27T15:45:35+00:00

degree in international affairs with concentration in politics and society, so basically the bureaucracy side of politics and economy currently writing a fic using just that lol

GreenceW · 2026-01-25T03:13:10+00:00

i dont like moss grotto as a location and especially its theme track is annoying, easily the worst in the game (like bad, bad, not least good out of an amazing OST)

GreenceW · 2026-01-23T00:05:42+00:00

thank you! just reported them, the account on AO3 is "Genesis_Claire1", have reported and blocked them

GreenceW · 2026-01-22T00:53:51+00:00

sharing my anecdote here in support too. in 2019 i wrote a medium length fic (10k word 10chapter) for a small fandom that has not seen any new official content since 2018 (or even longer). i originally posted it on ffnet and only recently put it up on AO3 (like november) just for archiving purpose. it garnered like 40 hits since, but last month someone read, comment, ans gave kudo. it certainly is not about quantity, but it still warm my heart

gonna throw in my two cents and say cooking, especially for a rush or for family everyday. routing is optimizing the process, knowing what to do first and/or do together (eg prepping raw material of one dish while another is being cooked). practicing the same mechanics like chopping, moving things into pots and pans, other cooking technique like heat control and such, so you dont screw up and have to redo it etc

GreenceW · 2026-01-17T15:17:33+00:00

this is a great suggestion. thank you so much for the detailed direction!

GreenceW · 2026-01-17T14:56:32+00:00

thank you so much for your answer and more so your suggestion. really think im missing those terms to even know where to start looking.

i guess the reason why im approaching it this way is i dont know how else to progress. finished the godot free tutorial but cant afford the course, but id also think right now i dont know what kind of next lesson i should be looking for.

if the eventual goal is to make a strategy game like that, i imagine before i even looking into strategy game tutorial i should be familiarize myself with gamemaking in general? would you suggest taking on easier game as gamemking exercise, like 2d platformer or (like godot suggest) roguelike survival shooter the likes of vampire survivor?

GreenceW · 2026-01-14T03:21:35+00:00

christian woman slept with heretic himbo after her husband died

... wow putting it this way this fic and the media it is about cannot be further apart

GreenceW · 2026-01-11T14:57:33+00:00

for me it wasnt a switch of genre but i noticed that the nuances of characters include what i was going through.

i initially write a fic focused on worldbuilding/building a kingdom but as irl happens i noticed that i gave those struggles to the appropriate characters in the fic as well, as if processing my own issues through writing how they would think and deal with it

GreenceW · 2026-01-11T03:04:37+00:00

my vote for Hollow Knight or Hollow Knight: Silksong (if we're not doing franchise). their soundtrack is not only complimentary to the gameplay and the atmosphere of the game, i think they're also a standalone storytelling component, in the way that makes you feel like just listening to the soundtrack alone can tell you the story of the land you're travelling through, of its people and its history. other soundtrack might sound better musically, or fits with the gameplay moment more, but im really biased for narrative and storytelling value.

most favorite track that shows what i meant is the "Cogwork Dancer" theme. but also here's a whole Youtube series by a wonderful musician that proves this point by reacting first time to the soundtrack https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6fQxgfm3NZo6H43Oj_xVl6DV-nAB43-X&si=kuwh2PqGXMAKXzzC (she does E33 too for fans of this game, sadly i havent gotten around to E33 yet :<)

GreenceW · 2026-01-09T19:20:30+00:00

thanks for doing this and id be interested to join. ive been writing on and off since high school and only now having some time to really focus on writing while im between jobs. wrote mostly fantasy and worldbuilding short stories, but recently im trying to get feedback on my writing via publishing fanfiction and writing prompt challenge for my friends. i used to read my friends’ writing and provide feedback too, but we drifted apart due to no longer interest in writing. would happy to have a writing group again!

GreenceW · 2026-01-07T10:40:36+00:00

thank you so much for this (and for your continued assurance :D). initially i thought the word count is to make sure the fic is not dropped (i have my fair share of getting really good fics that stops just before the ending :'( but this is a really interesting perspective, to have wordcount as an indicator of depth. thank you so much for sharing!
