    Where can I find the pic that you used for the Zippy picture?
    And the Element engine, can I actually become a god of that element like Eternity engine, god of time or something?

    'God of' something is incredibly vague. It really would be down to personal definitions of 'god'.

    Monotheistic religions set much higher bars for god-like than pantheistic religions do.
    Gindjurra
    Examples range from the Christians where anything not omnipotent clearly ISN'T a god, down to the original Norse pantheon where many real life human professional sports players would qualify as a god of that sport, in comparison to how good the average god was.
    Gindjurra
    Pantheistic gods specialize in ways that just weren't possible to anyone other than an autistic-savant in ancient times. And there was a REASON those used to be called idiot-savants!

    AE Questions inspired by some of your recent posts: how strong can they be out the gate and how strong can they actually become in time? Are we talking eventual infinite power within a given element with sufficient time here? Can it get ridiculously esoteric (such as using Inferno Engine to 'enflame passions')?

    You also wouldn't need to move to wield it, though of course it's probably easier to get your head around using it if you do. And of course, the hotter it is the harder it is to make so making a relatively weak firestorm filling your radius would be much faster.
    So Bender+ is probably a good way of looking at them.
    Gforce1000
    Gforce1000
    So in terms of raw power the very best benders get close, but the starting Engines also have a bunch of tricks that make them way more dangerous. Stuff like creating matter to manipulate, allowing energy attacks to persist indefinitely within your range, or just be flat immune to most attacks with the element in question.
    Gforce1000
    Gforce1000
    As for becoming omnipotent with all the engines... well, it depends on what you get access to with Unity and Devastation. If we're just talking training the Engines without getting other powers from them, there's a few things like gravity, space, and non-unity emotions that they don't cover.

    So how powerful can the outsider faction in "A New Challenger" actually be? Are they supposed to be 'just' strong with OCP abilities but not necessarily overpowered, or could I theoretically cause an insanely OP faction like Ainz Ooal Gown to get isekai'd to Planetos? Because I'd like to import SOME measure of threat to a given SI in the lower-danger worlds, if possible.

    Additionally: Does the outsider faction need to be inherently hostile, or just be disruptive enough and/or "outsider" enough that war is very probable? Can there be peace between the outsider faction and everyone else, even if not immediately?
    Gforce1000
    Gforce1000
    The intent was that they'd be strong enough to completely upset the existing balance of power but not so strong that they automatically win everything forever. And yeah, they don't need to be innately hostile, it's just that the sudden introduction of a disruptive element that big makes wars kind of inevitable.

    So, I recently checked with SPKTR Alpha, to see if he knew of any interactive CYOA version of his CYOA. And as it so happened, there were 2. So I was wondering if you happened to have any such for any of your versions? Tried checking your threads to see if there was anything(as I probably should have with SPKTR before asking), but I couldn't find one.

    Hmm, I am sure the other guys have some ides. But you could host the files to a site in the meanwhile I suppose? Something where you can freely put up files. Don't recall which ones are still active... Maybe Gamecopyworld?

    Honestly I'd really prefer it if there was just a link people could click on that took them to the full functioning webpage rather than having to download and re-upload the .json and get all the img links right. I've sent out some feelers to the guy who did SPKTR's to see if he'll tell me what I'm missing on that front, and finished the cyoa in the meantime.
    Hi, in your Low Anime Rule 34 Economy CYOA V2.3, I have seen a discrepancy. It involves Perk Sharing and multiples influences options. In Control perk introduction text you say that we can have one version of influence with Perk Sharing and one without but that you need to buy 2. But in Perk Sharing own text you say that it can be grant or remove *at will* and don't talk about any need to buy another option.

    Perk Sharing lets you select which perks you share to eligible Companions, while the Control perks dictate which Companions are eligible. If Companion A and B have a control method with Perk Sharing and C has a control method without Perk Sharing, you could let A use all of your perks and B use some of your perks, but you couldn't give any to C.
    Hello, I'm the author of the DLC on Reddit. Sorry I didn't contact you about it beforehand, but I didn't realize that to see someone's recent posting on this site you had to have an account, so I thought you haven't posted here since December. It's also why I didn't know you were still working on it and accidently put in worlds you already added in the recent DLC.

    Very much enjoyed R34 Economy CYOA v2.

    Questions:
    Can Local Power or Quest (Propagation) utilize convergent worlds?
    Can companions have different Ascension Engines?
    Can Oh Yeah, Him be used to create memories of non-canon families?

    Suggestion: Second purchase of Oh Yeah, Him to be reborn, rather than inserted with false memories. Delays quests, perk benefits.

    Thanks for your hard work, hope all is well.

    Let's see...
    Yes, Yes, and Yes but they can't be unusually wealthy or important unless you take Noblesse/Seed Money. You may need to take Local Power if 'muggleborn' aren't a thing in that setting.

    The suggestion is an interesting idea but I'd worry that it makes most settings too easy to break.

    Having taken A LONG time to weigh options back and forth among CYOA's, I've concluded that I think the main thing you're still missing, is demon, draconic and D&D-esque magic. In spite of this you literally have EVERY Overwatch female character. So I can't say you're missing Blizzard characters at least xD Just variety among them.

    Now I am hardly pushing for you to add all of these. That'd take a ridiculous amount of space. But maybe pick out 3-5 to fill in the elements your are missing?

    All the ones I mentioned have pictures if you search for their names. Some are clear good pics, others are taken straight from the game(only a select few of them soley have ingame pictures).

    When you update your CYOA next time are you going to add some new companions or do you think you have enough?

    Have you considered updating your CYOA with drawbacks, and perhaps cheaper but less extensive options for getting your companions perks than "Unity Engine"? As of right now, it's basically a "must have", severly limiting one's build options.

    There is a limit. Mine would contain far more links if there were not.

    It's pretty high, though. I suspect I only hit it because it's a character limit, meaning URLs are pretty brutal on it.
    Gforce1000
    Gforce1000
    Ah. Do you think Bit.ly could help with that, or would that not be allowed? I can see the mods being leery of blind links everywhere, but if it's cool with them it could save a lot of space.
    pepperjack
    pepperjack
    Dunno.

    To be clear, this wasn't a human-implemented limit -- no one came and asked me to trim my sig. I just tried to add more and got smacked by an automated character limit, kind of like how profile comments can't be longer than 420 characters.

    Thinking of it that way, I really don't see why any link-shortening service you cared to try would be problematic, so long as the links still worked.
