Chasing the Rainbow Stripes
2016 UCI World Championship

In July I wrote a choose-your-own-adventure story/game about the Tour de France and it was so fun I wanted to do it again, but this time it’s about the 2016 World Championships.

This is shorter than Le Grande Boucle, some 20 000 words instead of 33 000. Mostly, however, it’s due to the fact that I tried to add some more choices, and choices that matter, than in my previous story. I felt that it constrained the reader too much which made it feel like nothing the player did mattered in the way the story developed. There’s also two major story lines instead of just one, you can either choose to be a sprinter or a breakaway artist which completely changes the story and the way the race unfolds.

Here's the link: https://philome.la/PlutoLarsson/chasin...ripes/play

Let me know if there are any questions or bugs and I’ll sort it out. Hope you enjoy it!

have to say that I enjoyed breakaway artist a lot more due to much more decision making...brilliant stuff though once again, thanks agamir!

Cheers! I agree that more interactivity makes for more fun gameplay, and if I keep writing these that's definitely something I'll do more of; good constructive feedback Smile

Regarding the bugs, you're completely right, must've messed up the "coding" part.

Haha, that is one of the weirdest things I've written. Grin Thought about making it only a 10% chance of getting that ending.

Hm, you can always go back and forth when you come to those "checkpoints", there's a random chance which path you get put on.
