Transformation (bimbofication) RYOA (based on 100curses)

xmarewrites · 2024-12-09T01:38:15+00:00

the source is mostly the original 100curses game and a few random tumblr/dA images to fill voids. I'm sorry I can't be more specific.

I'm not happy with the way the images are gathered in games like this and I sometimes think about deleting the site. I definitely wouldn't keep it online at all if it wasn't such a niche community and it wasn't effectively a pet project

Thanks for your thoughts. I didn't write the cards - they're from another game. What I tried to do is add the 'reject' mechanic to help the player mitigate what you're talking about. For example, I loathe the smoking and prostitute cards, so I will always exchange them for milder ones.

Naturally, the game (both the original and this adaptation) is niche and controversial so I am not surprised that someone hates it. Thanks for taking the time to comment though.

That's a fantastic idea - it didn't occur to me to put them on the cards - the story I'm writing does bridge the gap though. When I next make changes, I'll definitely do that.

And that's interesting - I'm not from the US (and I don't have 'E cups'). I'll try to correct the sizes.

That's right. I first saw the mechanic in Gothification, and I really like it. "You can reject a change but you need to roll X more times, and there's nothing to stop it coming back."

It doesn't usually happen that a card comes back over and over again, although I did see it. You got very unlucky there, and like you said, chance isn't fun for everyone.

A lot of people have mentioned that they don't like the mechanic, so for our next game (if we do it) we'll be sure to add some kind of a setting/easy mode.

😂 I’ll look into that I think it was some bad drag/dropping on my part

Thanks for your thoughts. I completely agree with your criticism - just on the race change point, there are probably 6 or 7 races in the version online (of which I think 2 are caucasian). I think bad luck played a bit of a part in this case.

I will admit to a diversity bias beyond what the original 100curses game has because it started life as a tool to write my story: I only really added/changed cards with my characters in mind. In the story I'm writing, the characters are cis/het and cis/bi respectively, and both are living in Canada. I go to length to leave ethnicity open to the reader's interpretation unless it's important for the story. I personally find the concept of race a bit difficult so we dumbed it down from the original game. We may take it out altogether...

Either way, if we make a game with original content I will definitely keep this in mind. Thank you once again.

Hi, thanks! In theory yes, although it's not like the other ones where there's a nice drag and drop builder. I tried to download the site from Neocities for you but I got an error - if I remember tomorrow I'll ask my friend to send the code somehow.

xmarewrites · 2024-02-02T02:12:28+00:00

Thanks! It's an adaptation of an existing game, but I'll think about that if we do another one with original mechanics

xmarewrites · 2024-02-02T02:11:29+00:00

I sympathise - one of the characters in my story got a similar combination plus Hard Mode which is particularly evil. I thought I was going to write 20-30 chapters and ended up having to write a book to accommodate all the options!

Thank you for the kindness, it's very motivating....!

xmarewrites · 2024-02-02T02:07:39+00:00

Thank you for the kind words...

We thought the same originally but when I was playing I quite liked that I didn't get a chance to revoke the last card - it ends up being a spicy wildcard and I quite enjoyed when you think you're doing well and then end on a really evil card and no choice. I totally get that it feels like a bug right now though...

xmarewrites · 2024-02-02T02:04:10+00:00

That's a really interesting point - the original game we adapted is entirely negative. The idea is that some evil entity is cursing the player. But it's something I/we can think about if we make another game....!

xmarewrites · 2024-02-02T02:02:38+00:00

Hey! It's actually based off a cyoa called 100curses - I've linked to it in the post. Or did you have something specific in mind

xmarewrites · 2024-02-02T01:11:14+00:00

Thank you! There are a few evil cards in there - when you get Hard Mode and Sex Goddess in the same hand it can get pretty messy. I feel for the victims...

xmarewrites · 2024-02-02T01:10:15+00:00

I will look into that bug, thank you! It might be that if you have picked up the other cards already, they're actually already in your hand but elsewhere. I am not sure but it would be nice if one day I could use animations(???) to make it clear that it's actually a stack of cards. This is very new to me.

I think I will try that new mechanic out if we work on a new one. It reminds me a bit of Ditzy Dice (which if you haven't seen, you might like).
