[zorlok-if]

hey not that this matters I'm just curious also if anyone asked before you can ignore this

will we be able to choose what type of demon we are? if I recall correctly there's a thing where we chose a "title" like fallen angel and stuff like that does it matter really or it's just a D&D thing and no one cares?

my memory is shit btw I hope I haven't just spitted lies about the current demo

I think you're remembering a part of the demo where Tommy is describing the demon/devil his D&D character summons. Jin makes fun of the name Zorlok so Tommy gives the demon a title to make it sound more "cool." So, that's primarily determining the D&D character, it doesn't affect the actual Demon's identity/backstory (that is set and a lot of lore is tied to it).

But, for whatever reason, you can choose to go by Zorlok the ____ instead of using an alias to try to blend in. This can lead to some funny interactions with characters saying stuff like "Ah, if it isn't Mx. Twilight Princess" or "Thank goodness, the Lord of Darkness is here". That kind of thing.

You could also be thinking of a part where Tommy is describing the D&D demon and selects if it is "fiery", "frozen", or "foul". This also doesn't really affect the Demon, but in the updated demo you may notice Tommy's choice affecting how the Demon chooses to present themself to him.

Edit: Oh! You could also be thinking of the domains Zorlok has power over. Those you will get to choose but that doesn't happen until episode 1.

[obsolete-stars-if]

All my thoughts go out to @zorlok-if tonight.

Also can we appreciate how fucking smooth and beautiful the new demo? Like genuinely had me going ohhhhh so many times. The music. The simple designs. Just one hit after the other. All bullseye. Everything looked just so perfect. The UI is godly. Navigating and reading the game is so much fun. And that's ignoring the contents. I adored zorlok in quiet before but that will no longer be true. I will openly adore it.

Ough I cannot wait for the next update. I love it so much. I'm so excited. I was SCREAMING to my friends when I saw that the game is being continued. Are u kidding me. The writing is so good. So serious. So funny. The details??? The way that I'm like, yes that's my son. But also I'm the creepy demon too. The setting is absolutely hilarious. Wdym a bureaucracy error made us loose our personality and memories. That's hilarious. That's the shit I wanna see. Give me 10 seasons. I won't even pirate them for once. Absolutely eating the premise up. Horror flair with DND and funny premise? I'm signed up. Thoughts go out to my zorlok having another identity and gender crisis AGAIN. Letting me choose my hellhound to be a cat is the funny shit I'm here for. Not only cat hellhound. Long cat. With many eyes. Thank you.

No Fr, the general look of the game is absolutely stunning. So smooth. Absolutely inspiring. I'm sitting back down and redoing my own UI. These are the standards I want for my game. Whatever your code brain is doing I am prying it open and taking a look.

Genuinely everyone drop everything and play zorlok.

[interact-if]

Is there a IF where friendship is as important as romance?

Not just friend, like can be a soulmate(platonically) or a bff.

Happy New Year!!

Wishing you all the best as 2022 begins💜

As many other writers have done today, I decided to summarize a bit of what I've done this year and share some of my feelings/thoughts about moving forward.

TLDR: Thank you. You're all lovely. I've got big plans for the new year and feel like I've accomplished a solid amount. I also feel like I'm in a good headspace for the first time in a long time and that's mostly thanks to you all. So, thank you! Here's to a better year!

Full summary, plans, and thoughts under the cut!

So, I found the IF community in early October (see here and here) and since then:

I've written over 42,000 words of Hades' Kitchen material (about 75% is the demo, the rest is research and notes, etc.)

I've written and released Hades' Guide (currently just under 30,000 words), which was a truly terrifying experience since it was the first big writing project I've published

I've grown very comfortable with Twine and learned basic JavaScript and CSS (click here for some insight into how I did that; answer: weirdly)

I made progress on two of my other projects (The "Secret IF" and The Summit)

I've written 288 (now 289) Tumblr posts and recently went through and reorganized, reviewed, and revised all of them (here are some of my personal favorites)

I've written several short stories, many of which shall be released in January (find the released ones here, here, and here)

Made some pinterest boards, picrews, aesthetics, and a kinda weird combined Spotify playlist for the characters (don't worry, individual ones are coming)

Some other more personal accomplishments:

I realized I'm genderfluid (x)

I started therapy

I made some new friends

I finished my semester with high marks

Now here are some of my goals for 2022:

and for once, I'm gonna try to make them "realistic"

Publish the demo for Hades' Kitchen

Publish the demo for Zorlok (aka The Secret IF)

Finish Hades' Guide

Publish a tutorial template (and maybe a style template) for Sugarcube

Participate in Interact-if's game jam, though I'm undecided if I'll do the ranked or unranked jam (Or both? No, remember, Albie, realistic!)

UPDATE: I'm competing in the ranked jam, to learn more about the game or follow it's development, check out the Mousetrap blog!

Release the remaining short stories

Commission an artist to make cast portraits (I have low hopes that I'll do them well myself 😅)

Be kinder to myself and try not to despair and spiral quite so much

I don't think you need me to tell you that 2021 was a really shit year (if you do, wow, I have terrible news...). There were stretches of time that I really struggled to get through, where my depression, anxiety, and/or apathy felt overwhelming and all-consuming. But in spite of all that - and despite everything that was 2021 - for the first time in a long time I feel like I'm leaving this year in a better mental position than I was entering it, and I honestly owe a lot of that to you.

Discovering the IF community has drastically improved my mental health/quality of life and I genuinely don't know how to convey just how thankful I am for that. I feel so lucky. Everyone I've interacted with on here has been so lovely and kind and I never would have dreamed that there'd be so much support for my creative projects. Thank you (yes, I know I'm a broken record at this point, but my gratitude cannot and will not be stopped). I look forward to creating more content for and with you, seeing everyone's incredible work, and getting to know even more people.

So, here's to a new year!! (I think it's our turn to kick its ass 😁)

WALL 5.22.22 - small content update

Hello! You’d think by now I would know better than to tempt fate by making broad declarations about how much writing I’m going to start doing... The final lore post will still come eventually, but that needed more time than I expected. In the meantime... I actually have a game update! There isn’t a ton of new playable content, but there is a little bit, and some other stuff.

What all is in this update:

A brand new layout with more accessibility options, a light and dark theme, and proper mobile compatibility! Courtesy of the gorgeous Twine template made by @innerdemons-if

An overhauled character creation screen with some expanded appearance options, inspired (with gracious permission) by @zorlok-if

Some slight changes to flavor text throughout chapter 1, which you probably won’t notice

A new character introduction: get acquainted with Razmik and find out what he wants from you, or avoid him entirely and face no consequences whatsoever, I promise :)

on Ozzy’s route: a scene change, complete with fresh and exciting hints about the MC’s history

I have not yet thoroughly QC’ed this update, so please let me know if you run into bugs or anything that seems conspicuously off. Thanks!

Zorlok Playtesting Application

Oh, hello! Since it's been (checks watch) over two and a half years since the first demo dropped, I'm looking for a few new people to join Zorlok's beta testing team. I've opened a new application for playtesters so, if you're interested, you can check out the link below or read more about what playtesting involves under the cut.

This playtesting application will remain open through February 21st. People chosen as playtesters will hear back from me (Albie) by February 23rd. I'll only be selecting a few people at this time but, if you aren't chosen, rest assured there will be more opportunities to apply in the future (and I encourage you to do so).

Note: If you were a beta tester before, you are more than welcome to continue on as one. There's a post about this in the Discord server. If you've lost access to that server for whatever reason, let me know.

Thank you so much for your interest and your time! (regardless of whether or not you want to playtest, I just appreciate you)😊

APPLY HERE (CLOSED)

For more information on what playtesting entails, check below the cut.

What is playtesting?

Playtesting is the process of combing through the unreleased version of a game searching for bugs, typos, grammatical errors, and other mistakes. Playtesters are expected to point out any errors they find so that the public release is as polished as possible. Playtesters are also expected to provide feedback on the game's content, continuity, choices, and may be asked for input on other topics related to the game's future storylines and character arcs.

Because this game is heavily impacted by choice with many different customization options and paths available, playing through the game multiple times and exploring different options is an important part of the playtesting process.

Playtesting is a volunteer position. Those chosen as playtesters can decide whether or not they'd like to be credited on the Zorlok masterpost, the itch.io page, and/or in the game's credits.

Most importantly, playtesting is not just a way to get early access to the game. If chosen, you will be expected to provide feedback within a specific time window. Playtesters must keep links and passwords private. All discussion of unreleased game material must be kept to the private Discord server. Playtesters who leak info or share the unreleased game with others will immediately be removed from the team. Playtesters might also be removed from the position if they are repeatedly inactive during the playtesting process.

If at any time—for any reason—you want to opt out of playtesting, that is fine. You may do so with no questions asked (just please let me know you won't be participating anymore).

All communication will be done through Discord in the private server.

Thank you so much for your support and time. If you are interested in playtesting for Zorlok:

Welcome to Whimsey World!

May all your dreams nightmares come true...

DEMO (~50k words) | BLOG | DEV LOG | CAST PORTRAITS | PINTEREST | PLAYLIST | AUTHOR

WARNING: Mousetrap is rated 18+. It contains mature language, graphic violence, gore, surrealist horror, waking nightmares, and potential body horror, loss of self, and death. Detailed content warnings are available in-game and players will have the option to avoid or minimize exposure to triggers for specific phobias.

You are an overworked university student interning at Whimsey World. When it was announced that Hurricane Imogen—a category three storm—would hit Orlando, Florida, your supervisors offered 24 hours of triple pay to anyone willing to remain in the parks during the storm.

You and your friend were eager to volunteer. Sure, you won't be able to evacuate and you aren't entirely sure what you'll be doing, but this is a golden opportunity. You need the money and this can't be too dangerous. After all, Whimsey cares about your safety and wellbeing. They won't put you in danger. Right?

That's what you assume before being knocked unconscious, before you wake up chained to your friend and three strangers, before the neurotoxins poisoning the air system loosen your grip on reality, before nightmares and reality bleed into a horrifying, broken fantasy you can't wake up from.

According to Dickey the Rat's disembodied voice, the first "team" to find four keys and make it back to the Castle will receive $250,000 dollars—plus an extra 250k for every death they cause.

This is a game. No one asked if you want to play, but playing—and playing by their rules—is the only way you'll survive. The only choices you have are kill or be killed, maim or be maimed, traumatize or... well, there's likely no avoiding that.

If you outlast this storm (and the horrors lurking beneath it), you can win riches beyond your wildest dreams. But at what cost? How far will you go? How committed are you to pleasing your guests? To satisfying your spectators? The Show will go on. It will always go on. But what role will you play?

Customize your intern's name, gender, pronouns, appearance, and costume

Choose a role - Ride Operations, Custodial, Merchandise, or Character Acting - and gain unique strengths, weaknesses, abilities, insights, and choices.

Choose to play your part or rail against it

Fight to retain your sanity in an increasingly nightmarish world

Get to know your teammates personalities and strengths

Work together as one or attempt to break free of the chains that bind you

Attempt to navigate the tunnels beneath the Fairytale Kingdom or fight your way through a deadly storm

Collect four keys from around the park to earn your safety, freedom, and wealth

Kill or be killed along the way...

Alaric / Aria Wagner

Your cool and confident friend from Germany working in merchandise as part of an academic exchange program.

A's Profile

Emerson Liu

A fellow intern working as a custodian, an aspiring novelist with an insatiable thirst for truth and unending curiosity

Are there any IFs where the MC (or other characters) can wear a hijab/duka/gele/turban/any other sort of headscarf/headwrap? I know Golden by @milaswriting definitely does, but a lot of others simply ask for hair color and hairstyle, and not whether or not your MC wears something on their head. It of course doesn't have to be important to the story, but I love my hijab and I'd love to see more IFs where any of these beautiful head coverings are portrayed, even if it's just in passing. <3

We'd love to know if there are more out there!

[hadeskitchen]

I love hearing about new stories. please share your ideas <3

With pleasure!

I'll start by ripping the bandaid off the "secret IF". The secret IF is actually called Zorlok. You can find a lot more info on that below.

As of last night, I'm participating in the Interact-IF game jam so I'm currently focusing on a surrealist survival horror story called Mousetrap (that is semi-autobiographical, inspired by my time working at.. Whimsey World). Check out the blog here.

Here's a brief summary of the other three I've mentioned on this blog before, I'll go into more detail on each below the cut (plus you can check out their individual blogs by clicking on the titles).

Zorlok - Play as the victim of a demonic pact gone wrong in a dark comedy about monster hunting, found family, and the thin line between good & evil. Inspired by campy horror/action films and classic whodunnit stories.

The Summit - Every year representatives from seven supernatural factions meet in Antarctica for a peace summit, but (if you follow your orders) this summit will be the last. A diplomatic thriller and murder mystery.

Neo Olympus - After a cursed prophet realizes she can alter fate, a group of misfits decides to rewrite the endings of their stories. A retelling of ancient Greek myths set in a postcyberpunk world.

Also, none of these will negatively impact my ability to produce Hades' Kitchen. I've been working on them all along (most for longer than I've been working on HK) and still wrote over 70,000 words of Hades' Kitchen material in the past three months. So, please, don't fret.

Okay, let's go!

Zorlok

The Story

Zorlok is an absurd, dark comedy about monsters, mysteries, and mayhem that takes inspiration from campy horror and action films as well as whodunnit-style mysteries.

Play as a conscripted monster hunter forced to protect the sleepy, small town of Casper, WA after a wave of violent attacks threatens the safety of all. Oh, and thanks to a demonic pact going awry, you've lost all your memories and are struggling to control the chaotic, infernal powers at your disposal. Will you save the town and make up for forgotten sins of your past, will you look out for yourself and/or your newfound allies, or will you give in to temptation and relish in being evil? Only one thing is certain, something truly terrifying lives within you and soon there may be no difference between yourself and the creatures you hunt.

Now tell me, hunter, what kind of monster will you become?

Features:

Help a kid survive high school (or try to sabotage him)

Run a D&D game for actual monsters

Run from the police in a van named Dirty Lucy

Make friends with the ghost of that person you accidentally killed

Quote classic films at incredibly inappropriate moments

Set everything on fire... accidentally.

Go for long walks in the park with your magic dog

And more fuckin' shenanigans...

Also, if you want it, here's a playlist for the game.

The Main Cast

Excluding the main two (MC and the deuter/antagonist): E.J. "the Driver", Dev "the Drifter", Lucía "the Watcher", Ciel "the ???", Adam/Eve "the Officer", Danny "the Specter", Harlow "the Elder", Giles "The Director", McGruff "The Administrator", Julija "the Curator", Milo "the Defender", Captain Rose "the Father", and others...

Check out their picrews here.

Production Timeline

The prologue is, quite honestly, almost finished, but this project is on hold while I work on Hades' Kitchen and Mousetrap. The first demo drop will be on May 13th, 2022.

But, Albie, why May 13th? That seems so random.

Because May 13th is the next Friday the 13th and I wanted the Zorlok demo to be released on the day it's set...

The Summit

The Story

Every June, the leaders of the seven supernatural factions hold a summit at Mircalla, a picturesque resort sitting in the heart of Antarctica. The point of the summit is primarily to settle disputes between the groups and lately, things have been somewhat, divisive. Most of the conflicts stem from disagreements on if supernaturals should reveal their existence to the human world. So, you've been hired by one of the factions, the Court of Blood, to get to know each group and advise the summit on how to proceed. If all goes well, you will help them achieve harmony and bring about an era of peace.

Unfortunately for them, you aren't who you say you are. You are secretly a member of the eighth faction: The Slayers, an ancient order composed of humans and demi-humans dedicated to protecting humanity and eradicating the other seven at any cost. You and your partner have been sent to infiltrate the summit and destroy it from the inside. Some of those in attendance have already sided with the Slayers, but you don't know who those people are. You must discover the traitors and aid them or.. expose them (potentially exposing yourself in the process). Your choice.

Will you succeed in your mission? Or will you betray the order who raised you and side with the monsters you were taught to hate? Either way, the "night" of the Summit is long, and not everyone can last till sunrise...

The Factions

The Court of Blood (vampires), The Revenants (undead, ghosts, etc.), The ILN aka The International League of Nonhumans (shifters, hybrids, etc.), The Magi (human magicians), The Feyfolk (magical beings/spirits), The Outsiders (extraplanar/extraterrestrial entities), The Natural Order (monsters, sentient plants, etc.), The Slayers (human and demi-human hunters)

The Main Cast

Rafael(a) "The Prince(ss)", Feilan Grave-Speaker "The Viking", Cy Hassan "The Sheriff", Adrian(a) Silva "The Courtier", Han "The Trickster", E. Milton "The Magician", J. Osorio "The Slayer", Oriana "The Mermaid", Shai "The Shadow", Pabu "The Yeti", and others...

Production Timeline

Not currently in production. The Summit has been fully planned and parts of it are written but it's on hold for a bit as I work on other projects.

Neo Olympus

The Story

Can't say too much without potentially spoiling Hades' Kitchen plot points. I can say that Neo Olympus takes place seven years after the Fall of Troy and outbreak of the Trojan Virus, six years after the conclusion of Hades' Kitchen season 1.

The Main Cast

Zosime (aka Cassandra) - dead daughter of Troy Corp's deceased CEO, gaslit prophet (cursed so people can't believe her), exhausted retail worker, and former hacker

Adonis - prince of the Underworld, award-winning TV host and producer, mega-celebrity, and recent arrival to the land of the living

Atalanta - heir to the Arcas crime family, former Argonaut, career criminal with a Robin Hood complex, and the fastest (+ gayest) freedriver in Neo Olympus

Dio - "lord of misfits," god of wine, nonconformity, and performance, owner of the "Asylum" nightclubs, and a disenchanted immortal who misses mortality

Iapyx - bastard son of Daedalus, fake brother of Zosime, disgraced surgeon successful ripper, and miserable necromanteion haunted by his half-brother Icarus

Meliboea - daughter of Niobe and descendant of House Atreus, (legal) defender of the people, unapologetic "punk," and unlicensed private detective

Aethalides - demigod of Hermes, cracker "hacker" with a perfect memory and a , former Argonaut, and follower of Atalanta

Prometheus - titan of foresight, Zeus' unwilling assistant, the true brains behind Olympia Inc, and a natural troublemaker

Thanatos, Erginus, Psyche, Medea, Odysseus, Heracles, and many others...

Production Timeline

Since it takes place six years later with some of the same characters, Neo Olympus won't come out until season 1 of Hades' Kitchen is released. For those of you worried about this delaying the release of Hades' Kitchen season 2, don't fear. After a specific point, the two will be released in tandem.

So I set out to make the sexiest most stereotypical demon ever, and I think I did a decent job. 

Anyway this is Zorlok, i totally named him myself :) he’s my MC for @zorlok-if go play the demo if you haven’t already !! 

[kalorphic]

heeeeey kal! who are the authors that are the most helpful? and the one you admire the most? (doesn't have to be the same one for both)

Helllooo!! Ooo okay, it’s author appreciation day then 👀 I like it!

Most helpful: @outoftheblue-if @manonamora-if @zorlok-if & @nyehilismwriting aka the people who are the reason why nova even has a demo. Without their coding help/resources and templates, I would have been completely lost, so a massive thank you to all of you! <3

Admire the most: there are sooo many, but off the top of my head… @ramonag-if (churns out chapters like they’re butter, I’m both confused and in awe), @llamagirl28 (both of her IFs are so good, and they make me feel so many emotions that I’m still thinking about specific scenes hours after I’ve finished them like pls teach me your ways) & @magiciansvoyage (arlo is so genuinely nice and supportive and positive and I aspire to be like that honestly).

[bitterpossum]

@zorlok-if I just had to play your demo again and make a second Z ^^ I call this one if howl movingcastle was also an emo vampire

I imagine the flip flops and messy hair came after the whole memory wipe thing lol

[nextinline-if]

hello author do you know of projects where MC is an angel, demon, or both? it's that I've been looking for one for weeks where MC is the son of an angel and a demon and he spent his childhood in a forest and so on

Hmm. That specific scenario doesn't ring a bell in terms of a name. I haven't played a lot with demons or angels, to be honest.

Sorry :( perhaps you could ask @interact-if or maybe another person will comment or submit an aks if the game sounds familiar to them?

Here are a few games where MC is an angel or demo though (from what I can tell, I haven't played all of these, only a couple):

Ballad of the Judgement Night - @nikkefort-devdev

Zorlok - @zorlok-if

Moonlit Sorrows - @moonlitsorrows-if

The Fallen Divine - @thefallendivine

SoS: The Mortal Coil - @sosthemortalcoil

The Angels of Light and Dark - CoG Forum Link

Sorry that I can't be of more help!
