OYHS - update 5/9

Nearly broke my fingers to finish this today.

Anyway we finally get to see more of the outside world. Sky gets to go to their first real party. Things ensue.

I would say this part is when the “dark” aspect of Hollywood that I want to write about starts. So keep that in mind

Thanks, Jude.

Roger & Olivia - drabble

He watches the other boy’s eyes flit from sentence to sentence. The other boy is not doing anything interesting, just reading, and yet he finds he can’t look away. When the boy suggested that it would be good to take advantage of the nice weather, Roger thought it sounded like a bore.

Unless he’s playing Rugby, he doesn’t find anything fun to do under the sun. But now, as he sees ...

Sneak Peek - OYHS

“Oh! Greer, come meet my son/daughter!” your mother exclaims, waving over someone behind you.

You look over your shoulder to see a man, a bit older than you, lounging on a lawn chair. His body oiled slick. A tight red swimming trunk with a white belt hugs his lower half. Your eyes widen at the sight of his tanned chest. You’ve never seen a man this undressed before.

Writing diary (#16) + musings

So I’ve started on the next part of OYHS. The hardest part I’ve found is describing Los Angeles. You see with wwc it all comes from my head, with EC the places still hold similarity to what they looked like in the 70s. With OYHS it’s harder because Los Angeles is a character in itself, and so your girl is looking at 100 year old reference pictures and damn cities are confusing. Also, tha...

OYHS - Update 4/9

Me: oh I’ll be done this early. It’s just copy and pasting what I have on the doc sheet into twine no sweat.

Me: *8 hours later* fucking coding….

Since this game is bewitched I know code will likely mess things up so tell as always.

This is the longest section so far. You get to see more of who Sky is growing into and their relationship with their hits a big climax

Musings on realism

So I’m almost done this part of OYHS. Nearly there and I’m not going to lie it’s hard writing about a Sky who is mixed.

Yes, I don’t have to be realistic. I’m not being forced. But at least for me, my personal goal in writing historical fiction games is to not romanticize the past. As someone who loves history I see we tend to get blinded by the clothes, hairstyles and art. Whi...

Sneak peek - OYHS

You practically run towards the front doors until you realize how’d it look and slow down. You stop by a mirror and straighten your tie. You slick your hair back and pull on your blazer. 

You take a deep breath and walk down to the lobby of the school. You hear echoes of adult voices before you see them. Brother Sebastian shakes hands with the man standing next to your mother. ...

Writing update (14?)

School work has had me swamped but I have managed to carve some time in for OYHS. And let me tell ya there is possibly some nice gay panic going on and it’s cute/sad.

I really want to finish this chapter before the end of the month. Like yeah I know I update pretty quick especially chapters that usually take longer in the IF community but for my work ethic it feels slow for me to do it...

Lorcan - Mature

*if Crowny has a vagina

His hot breath on you makes you squirm. You so badly want him to reach up with his pale pink lips and take you the way you’re begging him to.

“Crowny,” he groans as you open your thigh wider to envelop his senses with your musky scent.

“What?” you ask, innocently. You resist the urge to blow caution to the window and ...

Charley - drabble (canon)

She pushes up the window and ties up the curtains. The smell of cigarettes makes her stomach churn. She has never understood such a nasty habit; the smell lingers in rooms. Nearly all her colleagues do it, and they seem to get pleasure in annoying her.

She made the cardinal sin of being a woman, and with dark meat to boot.

She endured their ‘jokes,’ their lingering stares, and...

Nia - Soft (E5)

She has debated ripping this newspaper to shreds. The eyes of her mother seem to mock her. Laughing at her for the power she still holds over her all these years later.

Nia wishes she were stronger. She wishes the coldness she’s able to show the world would penetrate deep within her heart and ice out the memory of her mother forever. Why does she deserve her thoughts?

Nia’s arms...

OYHS - update

Lowkey this game might be cursed cause why is it that every time I upload multiple bugs appear?????

Anyway it’s working (fingers crossed). Sugarcube doesn’t like when things have similar names it seems to gets its little head confused.

Thanks for those who reported the bugs!

OYHS - Update (3/9)

This was a bit of a tedious one since I have to add so much code based on Sky's gender. But it's also kind of cute. It feels weird writing a story where technically nothing really bad has happened. It all feels a bit lighter.

Also I kind of wanted to give you guys the choice of later on picking your full artistic names. So I went back and not only allowed you guys to pick your own last a...

Lazlo - drabble

Some of you asked for this on Tumblr.

Lazlo had noticed Luce wasn’t there. He had been watching them throughout the entire day. It was an embarrassing habit. Antonio has been giving him these looks lately every time he’s caught him looking at Luce. It makes him uncomfortable.

But Laz can't see Luce the way his surrogate father wanted him to. He’s tried. He followed L...

The Hungry Boy - We Wretched Creatures (a lore story PT.1)

So long ago, it has been forgotten by time...

According to the boy, there were only 9 people in the world. Himself, his six siblings, his father and his mother.

They lived on a hilltop, overlooking vast swathes of green grass. He and his siblings spent most of their free time playing in those fields. It seemed like each day they invented something new to tr...

Quick added scenes for EC

I added a Lazlo scene and some additional scenes for the club scene :)

Sneak peek OYHS & writing diary #14

I've been alternating between writing OYHS and doing a grammar sweep of WWC. I'm done episode 1 of wwc and damn I wrote a lot for this for game. I'm aiming to finish the grammar sweep by mid-April.

OYHS could possibly be done by early April or mid-April, depends because I'll be in exam season that month.

I've also been looking for ambient tracks for wwc and honestly I'm excited fo...

Lazlo - drabble

Your eyes retraced the same voyage of his face. His red hair that seemed especially fiery today. His pointed nose, his pink lips. He had scatters of freckles along his cheeks and the bridge of his nose.

You roll to your side and lightly trace those faded brown dots. His eyes twitch and you freeze. A small sigh comes out of his slightly ajar mouth. You go back to tracing.

He told y...

Imre - room (E5)

Imre shrugs off his coat and hands it to the maid who greets him upon entering his home.

“Anything I should know?” he asks.

The maid shakes her head. “Master Duran has been in a sour mood today.”

When is he ever not? Imre thinks.

“Mother?” he asks.

The maid handed him a small towel which he used to dry his face. “The attitude you saw this mor...

Carmen - a childhood story (aka a longish drabble)

1967

You were ready to pull out your hair. Every time you thought you got the sand out, you could feel those miniscule demons crusting on your scalp.

You tsk and you around for your nylon bag. Half-submerged in sand you haul it to you and rummage inside. Sunscreen, sunglasses, change of clothes. You take out of book and frown. How did that get in here? You...

OYHS 2/9

The first time jump. A lot of code so I’m guessing there’ll be errors but as Mallory says “c’est la vie.”

What’s so interesting about writing a character like Mallory is that she’s a mother but she’s also now 19. So because she gave birth so young she’s stunted, she immature and childish. Pairing that with Sky who’s a literal child is so cool to see

Till next ti...

Writing Diary #14

I'm surprised that the madam option is winning. But it's a nice surprise. I've never written a character that's in the sex trade and it'll be cool to go into the morality of procuring women for sleazy men.

In other news, I'm almost done the next part of OYHS. It's so fun to write how Sky experiences school based on their sex. The societal norms for girls and boys is very much present her...

Another RO - OYHS

It’s an oversight on my part. But I realized that there is no female RO for a masc!Sky who wants to date a cis woman. There will be minor flings in the game but that doesn’t account for a romance so which option sounds more interesting to you?

Nia - Mature

Your thighs flex as the heat growing in between your legs augments. The itch to move, to touch, to rub was so intense you felt as if you’d explode if you didn’t bring yourself to orgasm.

“Birdie, remember what I said?” she asks from the foot of the bed.

You inhale sharply. “How much longer?” you ask in turn.

She gives you a faint smile. “I’ve told you that sex ...

Dante - drabble

"Fuck," you whisper.

He chuckles behind you. That dry laugh. A one that indicates he doesn't even find it that funny anymore, he's just doing this to remind you how sad he finds your display of precision.

"Go fuck yourself," you snap, not bothering to look behind you.

"Mmmmm," he replies. "I would love to but I have to be here see you being a total fucking putz."

You ...

Lorcan - deed (E4)

This is for Lorcan's solo route, when he and Crowny visit Stephanie's boyfriend

Through the hazy smoke of his damp cigarette he could see Daryl’s trailer. The gross fuck had left the door to it open when he went to Alice’s. Just because everyone in Camelot is dirt poor doesn’t mean people don’t steal all the time. Lorcan once made the mistake of leaving his window ajar an...

Favour!

So somehow when I was changing up the template for EC I lost one passage.

If any of you have the game downloaded from before today’s new changes on itch.io I would love if you could send me the file. You can message me privately it’s just one passage but I’d like to have it in-game

Writing diary #13

I finished the outline for EC chapter 2 and OYHS chapter 1. Obviously EC isn’t going to have a chapter 2 until much later but I wanted to keep in mind the few endings of chapter 1 that game has.

I like the structure of OYHS ngl, I’ve never done at story where you start at the birth and then go through major life events until present day. Don’t worry though it’s not one where you ...

Nia - drabble

It was late, the golden hour was fading into dusk as you sat on the porch. The soft hum of the breeze moved the leaves above you. The world outside felt still, like an old photograph. You always thought time moved differently in this place. Which knowing this town, that wouldn't be a wrong assumption to make.

Nia stands by the open door, leaning against the frame of it. Her silhouette a ...
