Welcome back. Today, I’ll be talking about my thoughts and more on Chapter 2 of Spike’s CYOSA. Making this: I was a bit skeptical about how this series would turn out, but after seeing how well Chapter 1 did, I was motivated enough to make a second chapter. I wanted to give more options and not just have one partner per chapter. Of course, I also wanted to make it clear that Spike can’t have sex with every creature he sees. I’ll admit that the “Sex-Ed” plot was used too many times, but I decided to do it anyway. Believe it or not, this was actually my first time using the Enhanced Twilight SFM Model. For those of you who don’t know, it just means that this model has a lot more facial expressions. I’ve had experience with enhanced models in the past, but this was the first time I used an enhanced model of one of the Mane 6. I had also modified with the lighting on the map, as its vanilla lighting looked like crap and not very pleasing. Also, for some scenes I cheated a little and added some 2D elements to make them look better. Problems: I’ve encountered two major problems with this chapter. First one was my choices. As it was pointed out in one of the pages over at Derpibooru, the choices were too obvious or one-sided. It was like asking a group of people if they prefer money or nothing. I just want to point out that this is my first time making a Choose-your-own-adventure story, so there might be a few flaws somewhere in my work. I’ll try to make the choices less obvious for the future chapters. At least enough so that it won’t be so obvious what the outcome might be. The second problem was SFM limitations. I’m not talking about my computer handling SFM or how many models I can spawn before the program crashes. I’m talking about the lack of resources. To give a little background information, Source Filmmaker is a free movie-making program that anyone can use. And while it automatically comes with resources, you can download a lot more on sites such as the SFM workshop, SFMlab, PonySFM, DeviantArt, and much more. Despite all that, however, I couldn’t seem to find the models I needed for this chapter, most notably Silverstream and the School of Friendship. So, I had to work my way around this. Silverstream obviously had to be a no-show until her model was released, and I had to use the Canterlot High Map for the School of Friendship. I also wanted to point out that one of my friends was recently chatting over at the Derpibooru forums about the lack of SFM models. There are still brony SFM model makers, but some either have no motivation or require a commission to work. I also heard that using Hammer, a tool for making SFM maps, is very difficult even with so much experience in 3D arts. Alternate beginnings: Since all the chapters are going to be linked, here are a few alternate beginnings. These are based off the endings to Chapter one. “I screwed up” beginning Previous Chapter 1 ending needed: “Get Out” Spike enters the school with a depressed look on his face. Keep in mind, he didn’t grow. When he enters Twilight’s office, Twilight will ask him what’s wrong. There, Spike can either lie or tell the truth. If he lies, Twilight will try to press on, but decide not to. If Spike tells the truth, Twilight will comfort him. “Just in time” beginning Previous Chapter 1 ending needed: “Turn Down” Spike arrives in Twilight’s office just in time. Here, he helps Twilight with a bunch of stuff. Nothing too special. “Just in time (Growth)” beginning Previous Chapter 1 ending needed: “One Night Stand” Spike arrives in Twilight’s office just in time, the only exception is that he is in his grown-up form. Twilight sees this and reacts the same way as the “canon” beginning. Spike gets the same choices to either lie or tell the truth. “Late growth” beginning (The one that’s “canon”) Previous Chapter 1 ending needed: “Sleepover” or “Sleeping with the Dragon lord” Spike arrives late. Twilight calls him out for doing so, but she’s surprised to see Spike in his new form. Spike either has to lie or tell the truth Alternate Starlight endings: Before I begin, I’d like to point out that you guys did have a choice to have sex with Starlight. I also gave a warning that you won’t have sex with every creature in the story. Also, there was an unlock in this branch of the story. I’ll explain later. If you don’t ask Twilight for help, or if the option doesn’t appear, Spike will head over to Starlight’s office. Starlight isn’t present, but Spike is given the option to clean her office a bit. Keep in mind the office isn’t that dirty. If Spike does choose to clean, he’ll see a broken picture frame on the ground. It’s a picture of Starlight and Sunburst. This will earn you an unlock. Starlight comes back and sees Spike. Since she was bored of her counselor job, she thought she should take a break early. Spike joins her. This wouldn’t exactly be a date, but it would be something close to that. Throughout the “date,” Spike will be given a bunch of subjects to talk about. “Bad ‘date’” ending If Spike chooses Sunburst for the first time, Starlight will get a little annoyed, and say she doesn’t want to talk about Sunburst. Just choosing this one won’t earn you this ending. However, if you keep choosing this subject, Starlight will eventually snap and yell at Spike about why he’s so interested in Sunburst. She leaves without another word. Spike is left alone in sadness. The chapter ends there. “Okay ‘date’” ending Spike can choose other options like what he did yesterday, about school, about Starlight, etc. At the end, Starlight said she enjoyed the date before giving a long sigh. Spike will ask what’s wrong, and Starlight will say it’s nothing. If Spike didn’t earn/use the unlock, the date can end here. Starlight thanks Spike for his time and leaves. The chapter ends there. “Best ‘date’” ending If Spike uses the unlock, he’ll figure out that something happened between Starlight and Sunburst. Starlight will explain that Sunburst was going to come over to hang out, but he canceled at the last minute because “there was a clearance sale at the antique shop, and I didn’t want to miss out! I’m sure we can meet some other time.” This pissed of Starlight because she was looking forward to seeing him again. Spike will comfort her. Starlight, too into the moment, thanks Spike and kisses him. This shocks them both. Starlight apologizes, and Spike says he didn’t mind it. They kiss again this time more passionately. A short while later, they’re in Starlight’s room having sex. If Spike didn’t grow in Chapter 1, he grows here. The chapter ends there. Alternate Sex-Ed endings: After you had a threesome with the students of your choice, you will meet one of them in the halls. Their interactions would be like this: * Smolder was aware that Spike grew because he lost his virginity. She’ll also point out that dragons have high stamina and will offer Spike to have sex with him. * Gallus enjoyed having sex with Spike, but also asks if it’s normal for his penis to be in that funny shape. Spike points out that it’s rude to talk about stuff like that. Gallus apologizes. * Yona says Spike was best at “smashing” Yona. Yona will remember the next time she gets horny, she’ll come to Spike. Spike will jokingly say, “Alright, but try not to smash my pelvis.” * Sandbar will say he didn’t mind doing it with another male, but he will point out some flaws in Spike’s sexual intercourse. Spike says, “Hey, I just lost my virginity yesterday. Cut me some slack.” “Back to reading comics” ending If Spike turns down Smolder’s offer, or if he didn’t have sex with her during the lecture, Spike will head on home. If he rejected Twilight’s offer, he’ll be in his room reading comic books. After a while, Spike looks around the room. He closes his bedroom door and grabs something from under the bed. It’s an erotic comic book of the Power Ponies. He flips to a page with the Power Ponies naked and starts masturbating to whomever you choose. The chapter ends there. “Get ready for Twilight” ending If Spike accepted Twilight’s offer, he’ll head to the bathroom to wash himself. As he’s brushing his teeth, Starlight comes in and freaks out. She’ll apologize and leave. Spike will wonder if this is the only bathroom in the castle. After he finishes grooming himself, he heads to his room. The chapter ends there. “Yet another dragon to mate” ending If Spike accepts Smolder’s offer, they’ll have endless sex in Smolder’s dorm. The chapter ends there. This is the ending the viewers chose. Alternate dialogue: Here’s some alternate dialogues for Spike’s choices for the threesome. Smolder (Sm) & Ocellus (O) Sm: Ha! Alright. Let's do this. O: I...I don't think it's a good idea. I don't have experience, and I'm worried if it's gonna hurt. Maybe I-- Sm: Oh, come on, little Miss Celibate. It's about time you got penetrated. O: Eep. O & Sandbar (Sa) O: Wha...really? Me? Sa: Wait, what's going on? O: I think we're about to experience the dragon mating cycle first hand. Sa: Uh, what?! Nocreature told me we had to have sex. Spike: Come on up, you two. Don't make this awkward. O & Gallus (G) G: Okay. Why not? O: But don't we have to follow some mating ritual first? Like a mating dance? Or a song? G: We're having sex, not acting like peacocks. Come on. O & Yona (Y) Y: Woo-hoo! Yaks best at being smashed! O: Uh...this isn't going to be too rough, is it? Y: Bug pony needs to lighten up. Come on. Sm & Sa Sm: Ha! Alright. Let's do this. Sa: Wait, what's going on? Sm: You're gonna have sex with two dragons. Now, come on. Sa: What? Sm & G Sm: Ha! Alright. Let's do this. G: Okay. Why not? Spike: Now there's some enthusiasm! SM & Y Sm: Ha! Alright. Let's do this. Y: Woo-hoo! Yaks best at being smashed! Spike: [thinking] I just hope this doesn't go too rough. Sa & G G: Okay. Why not? Sa: Wait, what's going on? G: It's a gay three-way. Let's go. Sa: What? Sa & Y Y: Woo-hoo! Yaks best at being smashed! Sa: Wait, what's going on? Y: Sand pony gonna be smashed! Come on! Sa: What? G & Y Y: Woo-hoo! Yaks best at being smashed! G: Uh, do you ever understand what you say?
