Good IFs/WIPs that are finished/actually ongoing and not in some void state

[Parallax]

Well, yes but. The MC is The King In Yellow, who is an incredibly powerful eldritch being that infects the minds of everyone that even hears its name whispered but, like, compared to the Big Dogs of Lovecraft's Mythos like Nyarlothotep? The King is kinda a pushover, when comparatively speaking. Not that the MC is weak by any means, but we are power-scaling unknowable beings

Sigh yeh. The WIP isn't bad, but I am constantly looking for IF where we would be truly OP, and I keep getting disappointed.

Ooohhh, I didn't know that MC was supposed to be the king in yellow... That's also due to the fact that I am yet to play it, because I have just too much **** to do
But as far as I know, yeah, while King in Yellow is powerful as all hell, he is not the top dog. He is also an offspring of some other beings who are above him, though I can't remember who those are at the top of my head

One of the ROs, of course, must be a being more powerful than MC. Typical

I'll tell you when I finish chapter 1 (maybe 2 will also have to be done as well) of my game tdc. Mark my words, you'll see what a truly op mc looks like, especially if you go down the "villain path", since that one upgrades magical capabilities the fastest, and almost exclusively chooses very creative methods of showing their power (but since I'm still at the beginning, mc's power is not as developed as some of the characters, but once it is? ****ing hell, you'll be able to, for example, "become a black hole, smite and level entire cities, drain entire populace of the said cities of blood, or maybe even bigger populace at once, make it rain fire, make your own armies, turn ****ing oxygen poisonous and many other things", just to name a few)

One of the ROs, of course, must be a being more powerful than MC. Typical

Ah, yes, the usual trope
I mean I do get having powerful ros, but you can always make mc the strongest, and let them be the strongest. But you see, how all of those ifs/wips are, is that they revolve their plots and everything around everyone but mc... Because God forbid mc carrying everyone (little rant here, but I think that everyone just follows that usual storyline how even if mc "may" become the strongest, they first have to get carried by everyone, until they are strong enough to do this or that or whatever... ****ing Kung Fu panda trope, or the one that I like to call "damsel in distress" trope)

I mean thats a fair thing to want but i think a horror story is the wrong place to look for that. However, 3 out of the 4 ROs are very much not stronger than the MC, N is very much the exception. Roulet my beloved.

And since im commenting in this thread anyway, I'll also throw in my fav WIP currently: Shattered Eagle.

Haven't read that, but I read the satire version of it and it was one of the best things that I've ever read (if anyone is curious, I think it was called Shattered Beagle, if my memory serves me right Props to Serpent for telling me about it)

I'd strongly recommend it if you find the time for it. From the political intrigue, the worldbuilding, characters and how it all wraps around the themes of power. its all just peak. Theres a real good chunk of it done, so there is a lot of story to check out too.

That sounds very promising. Good luck with your writing and coding! We need a solid game with OP.

Hmm. Strange to see on that our pirate forum people creating their own IF. Maybe there are more writers here than I thought.

The description sounded promising though. I assumed that MC would be the one who creates... horror Sure, it was fun until this f^@%#1 N showed up harassing MC and us being unable to do anything about it. The whole "I'm powerful and scary" vibe disappears.


But to change the topic,

Development blog for Heir to the Stars: The Path of Time ✦ DEMO ✦ ✦ STATUS ✦ Chapters 1, 2 & 3 COMPLETE Chapter 4 ■□□□□ 20% A few years ago, I came across my first interactive fiction game, and I completely fell in love with the genre. It helped me through a dark period of my life, one...

is the best game from itch.io I've read in ages. The author released a demo with a decent amount of content. A rarity.
I don't know how long it will last so It's best not to get your hopes up...

Speaking of itch.io I'd recommend Cantata.

Thank you! I truly wish to bring this gigantic project to life, if anything, just so it can set a standard that would kill 90% of the if community (because once people experience tdc how I made it, that you can choose almost anything, and create a story of your own, rather than just following the story along, I think no one will be satisfied with linear works anymore)

Hmm. Strange to see on that our pirate forum people creating their own IF. Maybe there are more writers here than I thought.

Also what I've noticed when I came here. There is a **** ton of if writers lurking here, from the smaller one to the bigger names. Though unlike me, they aren't as vocal
