Texas Interactive Update
5 years ago
General
Hi everyone,
Firstly, game work continues, it's a slow process, but I just finished the last of Butterscotch's animations today. Once that's coded in, we're on to the final boss fight...
Secondly, do people remember the interactive Texas story that exists over on Writing.com? Probably not, right? Because Writing.com is an absolutely terrible site, which has made the story utterly inaccessible unless you pay for one of their ripoff memberships. Well, I have decided that I'm rather done with them (and with needing to pay to read my own story), and so I intend to upload the entire thing over on CHYOA.com instead, giving full credit to the authors of each chapter, but also using it as an opportunity to trim some chapters which were never really in the intended spirit of the story, and alter some of my older stuff, which was written before I had a good grasp of the setting of Gold Springs.
My hope is that by making it accessible again it can be somewhat revived, but if not, it's just nice to know that people can actually read the damn thing without paying through the nose. Currently, my plan is to start cataloguing and sorting through the chapters next week, both because I am somewhat busy, and because I wanted to give any authors who wanted their names removed from the story, or certain contributions kept anonymous, time to inform me of such.
So, in short, starting next week I will start the process of transferring the interactive over, with full credit to each chapter author. If you are an author of one or more chapters and wish for your contribution to be kept anonymous, please send me a note by Monday next week so that I can make the necessary changes. If you'd like a chapter of yours to be edited or outright deleted, that is also possible, so please send a note informing me of the adjustments or chapters you want removed.
And hopefully, before too long, the interactive will be back in the public sphere, as it was always meant to be!

Same here, i love to see new choices and stuffs users put into those interactive stories if it goes back to the old ways where your not forced to pay monthly fees to use them, same for stories not leaving the website as well.
I’ll happily keep writing more when you transfer
Hard to be inspired, when I can't read the interactives without getting ripped off, ya ding dongs.
Good to see you moving away from it; Now I can actually read about a weasel chick getting smothered, gassed, used as a towel and possibly even inflated by her former prisoners!
