The open-ended CYOA begins.

[Tact]

I'm thinking of doing something else in FKL out of boredom.

So I thought maybe I would do a CYOA in more of an illustrated style. However, I need two questions answered.

1. Who wants me to do this, if only for a fun diversion?

2. If you do want me to do this, what digital medium do you want me to do it in? (Note that it will not be very detailed. The most I'll go for is stick figures and maybe the sprites of FKL from before. If you liked the Mario graphics I used before, please say so.

1. Yes
2. Paint for laughs

[Sord]

sure, go for it. use whatever program or method is easier.

[Tact]

Alright, as of now it's Paint.

Anybody else care to give me input?

[TalHex]

what van said

[UnderscoreX]

Make sure it isn't longer than 2 chapters, that way you might be able to get half way through before getting bored quitting.

[Randomness]

Personally, I'd prefer you to use something a bit stronger than Paint, if only for the appearance of the images. (This only applies if you go with sprites, since paint doesn't support transparency... you'd have trouble overlaying sprites and such)

[astuarlen]

I've heard lens flares cover a multitude of sins.

[Tact]

Alright. Should I choose to do any spritework, it will not be with Paint.

Now then, for the first picture:

You are skydiving. Now what?

Yes, I really am making it that open-ended. So what happens next? I'll take the first (forum-appropriate, of course) suggestion that is posted, unless it would kill the character off too early, or unless I see a later suggestion that is exceptionally funny. Also keep in mind that even though I will intervene to keep our stickperson from dying in the first few pictures, once we get past that there's nothing stopping him from dying due to a bad decision somewhere along the line. When/if he dies, I'll just start another if you like how I'm doing things.

I'd stick with paint but using a mix of mediums and styles could never hurt (from paint to sprites to copypasted pictures, etc.)

[DizzyDi]

start flying

[ShinMaruku]

Path of the seer.

[Sord]

pull parachute string, turns out the guy didn't grab the parachute bag though, it was a terrorist suicide bomb

[Mixfortune]

As long as lemon meringue and/or Baked Alaska is involved, nothing else matters.

[ShinMaruku]

But what if they were foreseen?

[geewj]

Go punch the bird.

With all of the force you can muster, you slug the bird. It hurtles off into a new and conveniently-created black hole. Meanwhile, a large laser beam blows up the plane you just jumped from. Your action now?

[Out_Kast]

Cry for seven days, straight.

[astuarlen]

Put the eye you're holding back on your face.

I HAAAAVVVE THE POOOOOWWWEEEEEERRR!

[DizzyDi]

Start thinking with portals.

[Sord]

watch and laugh as the guy who ditched the plane falls to his death

[Tact]

Sord, his plane freaking blew up. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif Of course he would ditch it.

[Wyndham]

I call upon BADASSBASSADOR, THE BADASS AMBASSADOR!
BABD: TARGET PRACTICE!! *punches Tact*

[Sgt_Shligger]

Usually it helps if you give choices in the A, B, C, D format. That way you get a narrower, more planned path (unless you want to do it like this).

[Tact]

I mean to make it open-ended, Shligg. I'm going to give the readers/viewers a very open situation and have them react as they will.

Edit: New scene coming after somebody else posts. I don't want to double post. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

After replacing my eye back into its socket (Like that one guy from Pirates of the Caribbean...), I decided to do a little better than just laughing at the pilot as he fell. I thought with portals, and used the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device to make some portals.

The pilot is saved! He goes into one portal, out the other, and is flung into the air.

Saved, of course, until I smashed him one with the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. He deserved it for almost getting me killed by that laser.

Edit: Now, what to do about that laser-firing jerktown...
