>Elin end of Alpha testRIP in pepperinos. And this thread too.
What's the best way to handle crowds of enemies? Spells? Special actions?
>>46520746What's happened to this thread? It's been missing for a week while I've been looking for it.
>>46526002I dunno, I don't usually make it. I just got sick of waiting and took matters into my own hands.
So how are you guys enjoying Elin so far? Personally I have to say it's looking very promising. Hoping it'll kickstart a new wave of cute fanart too.
>>46521225What's wrong with it?
>>46529033Can non-backers play Elin now?
>>46522973Ball spells are the way to go for me
>>46526002personally just waiting for Elin news
I got me a paralyzer and a hermit crab and I'm going to take on the world.
Oh hey thread's alive again, everyone still playing plus or have they moved on to OO?
>>46531099Still on plus. Trying to get at least one more character to the 3rd act. I got 3 to pick from.
>>46531150Y'know in my years of playing plus I never got through act 2 entirely, always got burned out when I finished act 1
>>46531099Still CGX. I might try necromancy again someday, but right now I'm kinda wanting to make a character that has a shotgun with Decapitation.
>>46531499My guy, it took me literal years. I tend to drop elona and return to it. The save for my first is probably nearing a decade old. Act 2 is interesting I guess, the stuff that was made up seems pretty consistent. Not sure about the 3rd act though but haven't really played it much.
>>46531565Is necromancy actually viable?
>>46529328No, but the alpha is over now (as in no more public updates for now) and the next release will be the beta, which will let a lot more Kickstarter backers in
>>46534268When is that?
>>46535055https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/noacat/elin/posts/4034491
>>46535066>EA>Late 2024Gonna need to wait that long huh?
>>46533371Sure. There were even a couple of recent CGX tweaks to improve it: one that makes spooks fight on their own instead of only joining in when you get into a fight, and one that makes their coffins go into the D.D. Cemetery when they die instead of onto the floor.
>>46529104need me an ehekatl body pillow
>>46531099Made a wizard fella for OO back in 2022. The pets did most of the legwork, though (classic heavy armor + twohander equipment). It wasn't until well into the lategame that I started to feel dangerous. I should get back to him at some point, maybe try mass-producing specific potions with the home system?
>lost a card game against the puppy cave dogI think I'll just go to the shadow realm myself.
>>46544360Many such cases.
>>46544290Is that an exile PCC?
>>46545669yeah
>>46546631Do you have one for the other god pets too?
>>46546876Only for Android. Mogmog @ pixiv ID 15641502 has PCCs for gold knight and black angel, but they are smol.
>>46547096I remember there was a bigger one, must've been lost in the uploader
I just got custom-GX 2.22 and was wondering what tweaks I should make. I know some people hate the recent Elona Plus changes but I'm not sure if I should revert them or not as I haven't played in almost a year.
>>46549371Can you ALP the chaos child?
>>46550490Theoretically yes but>level 3500fuck that
>>46547268Went back and checked my media files. The "handpick sorted pack" in the rentry has PCCs for each god pet.
>I have three rods of wishing>Still no idea what to use a single one on>try to get space aids so I can bait one into impregnating a bard or something in palmia>get a fucking wish insteadwhat the fuck do i do
>>46552059You got your desired cores?
>>46520746Is there a guide on how to make a good PCC?
>>46535144There was a link last thread which now has the latest and final Alpha release. It's very playable in its current state and they've been pushing out a lot of updates - https://ylvapedia.wiki/wiki/Elin:ChangelogIf they keep up this pace I can't see why the final release, with proper mod support out of the gate, isn't going to be something we all still be playing a decade+ later just like its predecessor.

Undead little sisters are my favorite pets in Elin. Very tough and very cute.

>>46553171>>46573747Alternatively, you can look up guides on making RPG Maker spritesheets, since those are basically PCCs.
Haven't played since 2.13, is there any major additions to plus CGX?
>>46574152You can play the card game.
>>46574322Can you kill people with the card game?
>>46573747>>46573763Thanks lads
>>46574433No, all you get is impression when you win and a card pack for each consecutive five wins.
>>46575839How many impressions? is there a limit per day?
>>46575866Actually, I'll just copypaste the changelog>Added rewards for TCG>You need 80 interest to initiate duel, and >5 minute will pass after duel.>You get a impression bonus if you win, this can be used during party time to satisfy guests.>You get opponent-level / consecutive-win based music ticket reward.>You get 1 card pack for every 5 win against unique NPCs
my hype for elin grows every waking moment
>>46576076>You need 80 interest to initiate duelWell shit, I wanted to go duel with random dungeon monsters
>>46576172Has Noa expand more about the community aspect of the game yet?
>>46578022If I'm not mistaken, you can, card games are initiated through the 'i' menu and I know at least you can battle random citizen NPCs.
>>46531879>I tend to drop elona and return to it.Same. I also restart from the beginning every time because don't like continuing old saves. It's not like I'm much of a roleplayer, but there's something special about remembering the whole journey of a character.Made it to act 3 once, about to have another go.
>>46579597How fucked is the bump from act 2 to act 3?
>>46582386If you can beat Act 2 you'll probably be alright to start poking around Lost Irva. Traveling back and forth is a bit of a nuisance until you unlock the shortcut partway through Act 3, though. (Although it's been ages since I got that far with a character, so I'm going off of pretty faint memories here.)
Does the fixity anchor still leave you with Bind even after deactivating it?
>>46574433Actually you can kill people with duel after 2.22.3.0 version of CGX
anyone have an updated beautify for plus?
>>46591951Really? how?
>60+ paralysis stack on <Yerleswood>Since when is that possible? It didn't get to make a single move.
>>46598718Ano buffed the potency of breaths by ~40 times in 2.20.
>>46597263https://github.com/JianmengYu/ElonaPlusCustom-GX/releases/tag/2.22.3.0>Added>Lethal mode for TCG, the loser dies.
>>46602710Lmfao now that's what I'm talking about
>>46602792Try it on the final boss and see if it breaks the game.
How many dudes can you bring into the dungeon with you in Elin?
>>46520746anyone got some saved xxx busty thicc pcc sprites
>>46609366What kind?
>>46608140There's two +1 max ally traits and with that my character is currently at 4 max allies (not sure if 2 is the base value or if it increases with charisma)It's a soft limit, so you can bring more, but it will decrease your stats
It's been many many years since I last posted here, back then I noticed a clear radical shift to the fanbase and as result there was a huge identity change (read added stuff) to elona as well as to this thread that I didn't like thanks to all those new people coming in, which I assume are the ones occupying this thread right now and for these past years, I even feel like elona was ultimately hijacked ever since the game got to these people's radar and they placed their flag, as they usually do for everything.Anyway, that aside, I'm aware that Noa gave his blessings for the mobile version of elona, however while claiming some drops on twitch there was one of those front page featured streams, I randomly came across a guy playing a south park game awfully similar to Elona, I thought Elona got so much more popular to the point that someone made a south park mod for it but it doesn't seem to be the case after I googled it up. It's actually a Ubisoft game called "South Park: The Stick of Truth", at some point of the game it becomes a straight Elona ripoff. I went through steam, youtube comments, leddit, the archive and so forward and absolutely nobody mentions Elona.Maybe someone can pass this on to Noa, let him know?https://youtu.be/FFg6I_BghEE?t=7105
>>46610326wow you are right about everything anon also somebody should tell noa about this other elona ripoff "adom"
>>46610374Inspiration is one thing, anon. Ripoff is another.People would find novelty playing elona even among the roguelike genre.
>>46610326I read this all in Arthur Spooner's voice from King of Queens.
>>46610326dude wtf
newfag anon here, whats up with Elin? is it even worth playing the alpha? is there a good amount of stuff to do? Im not super into survival games but willingly to give it a try if its not super bare bones.
>>46529033I don't like the fact that it's focused on "younger sisters" and that he even call the players "younger sisters" now. I think by concept it can't be better than elona. Younger sisters as a pet was just a small element to the game, and the young sister mansion was just a expansion of this same "anime jest". I don't see the benefit of making it the central point and focusing heavily on it. On the other hand, I can see how it panders easily to a mainstream and ironic centered audience nowadays.
>>46613264What's wrong with them?
>>46613336Says right there in the post. You can consider it the Omake but official.
>>46613264>I don't like the fact that it's focused on "younger sisters" I'm 40 hours in Elin with the bear starter and haven't been forced to interact with a single little sister neither as part of the base cast or the main story. They're a non-issue unless you actively make them a "focus" on your own. >he even call the players "younger sisters" If it's the kickstarter titles you're referring to there's around twice as many referring to the backer as cat than any form of sister. And those are at the higher levels so you'd literally have to pay more for the "privilege".

Finally, I have had Ether ill in Elin.How can I cure it?
Hey, Bro.Feed me.
>>46616562Etherwind is already in the game?
>>46612471Only some of the people that pledged to the kickstarter have access to the alpha, the version you find on discord is the demo which is from a few years ago and not worth playing. The alpha is pretty good but still long from finished, you have to wait until the early access to play it (it should come out second half/end of the year)
>>46610326I love schizoposts

Has anyone ever gone all-in on Dual Wield/Continuous Attacks?
>take a break from adventure academy lessons to jump into a moongate>expect to see someone's waifu palace>end up in a full-blown miniquest
>>46627581Is that still viable? I thought chain attacks nerfed it to the ground?
>>46629275Moongates works now?
Any means to:>Uncap stats/level cap>Have infinite storage or personal maps to store shit into
>>46617130If you think about it Elin is truly a schizogame.
>>46629535
>>46632185nigger just use mega
>>46629541Yes.
Stop torturing people during the festivalStop having sex in public during the festivalStop selling overpriced wares during the festival
WHERE IS THE BETA NOA
>>46635579Draw lewd art of Jure while she's not watching!
>>46635579>Stop selling overpriced wares during the festivalLook not all of us can afford holding the town hostage with a Fire Giant to justify our prices year round
>>46635579Don't tell Ano, but, em, these guys gives all your money back if you ask them nicely so the wares during festival is actually, free.
>>46639869Are backer races in the game yet?
>>46639930I think Mifu and Nefu are backer races, so yes (but maybe not all of them?)
Okay, that's it. It was funny when it was just random miners getting eaten every day and Shena and Loyter getting executed as suspects, but this? THIS CROSSES THE LINE. If that werewolf bastard thinks it can get away with bumping off one of my spooks, it's got another thing coming. It's vigilante time.
>>46645424comfy
I wish elona/elin has a moon phase system
Did anyone else have windows suddenly start seeing custom-gx as a threat. It was fine yesterday and suddenly like this today. Maybe a security update happened or something. Good thing i was just in the character creator so i didn't lose anything when it quarantined the file.
>>46646553A long time ago sure, pretty sure it's a false positive
Are there npcs with unique flags/abilities left in plus or is the astral pen mostly useless now ?
How's plus now? Any big changes? It's been about two years since I played it last.
>>46646553>windowslol, nope
>>46649348I didn't think it was really for anything but scooping an NPC sprite for a new party member, but I've never bothered to get past Act 2
>>46650338You can have kids now and have card battles to the death
>>46649348
Is there anything you could miss out by moving speedrunning through plus's acts?
>>46654679<Gwen> the innocent's card and figure.
>>46646553This happens to variants and even some vanilla versions of elona every once in a while. I've had it quarantine custom variants that I compiled myself. I'm guessing scanners either don't like HSP being a piece of shit, or something about the chat/moongates feature attempting to contact a long dead server.
>>46655318She's a Void boss in all three acts

News wen
>>46664309when there's news
>death messages show newbies dying constantly to putits in the starting cave and to slimes in the putit questThe more things change the more they stay the same
>>46640906Got 'im. Thing put up a hell of a fight, but at long last my zombie cat has been avenged.
>>46675031How many werewolves are in this town??? ...Although, I guess a second werewolf would explain why a second detective showed up back then... Dangit. Guess I've still got work to do...
>>46673257>Putit casts Incognito
>>46674307Is the blue putit of death still around?
>[Notes]>The pre-beta development is progressing well, and I'm planning to start significant changes to the home and tax systems from next month, aiming to begin the beta in early June. There may be a pre-beta build release for alpha players around the end of next month for testing purposes.
>>46676882>the one kickstarter worth backing is the one not accepting more backers because they're not greedy grifters and really just wanted enough to get kickstarted

Elin should have NPC rape
>>46683864Mothers litterally rape you when you sleep
>>46683891Yeah but can I rape mothers in their sleep?
>>46683904Don't know, haven't tried the Succubus race yet
if you choose the farmer class is there any hope to complete the story or do you just focus on farming?
>>46687771You can beat the game with any race and class, don't worry about it.
>>46687771The only options I'd say a new player should stay away from are Snail and Tourist; the former because you'll have enough trouble finding your way around without town cleaners pelting you with salt water, the latter because it's basically a challenge run kind of thing.Other than that, I'll give you the standard tips: new characters should stay out of combat until you get a bit stronger and get better gear, don't do the slime quest until you can deal with the slimes, and feel free to ask for advice here.
I still can't believe they renamed the claymore class
Recently got back into Elona and there's so much stuff I've forgotten. What do the percentages next to HP & MP mean? Tried looking it up and searching online but can't seem to find an answer.
>>46695574It fills while in combat (not sure how exactly) and when full you can use Gauge release to deal some damage. No idea if it has more uses.
>>46695653It fills when you deal or receive damage.
>>46695574The one next to HP is power gauge that some special actions use up. The one next to MP is guard break gauge I think (the wiki has more info).
>>46695653>>46695661>>46695685Thanks all. Game can feel so convoluted at times, still great to play though. At least I seem to have retained some muscle memory for the controls.
is there anyway to bind something to shift+arrowkey in config.txt?
>>46702516I've tried that before but I don't think you can
>>46702858rip

Recently I've wanted to try omake but I keep finding dead links. Anyone got an up to date download link?Also does anyone use the fandom wiki any more?
>>46712940Is the one on the bin not working?
>>46713013I completely skipped over rentry in the OP. Should I use Elona oomSESTepNC Easy Install Memorial Edition? Also that is a mouth full.
>>46714150Sure I guess, if that's the version you want.
>>46714177I'm assuming it's the most upto date english version.
>>46613264This. Noa should pander to shotacons like me instead.
I just got a DV fixer in the salery chest. I couldn't find anything on the wiki for it, how does it work?>>46724039Why not loli and shota? :)
>>46724039I wouldn't eat a shota lunchbox
>>46724369Don't you like "salad dressing" with your bento?
>>46724369I want to give my shota a lunchbox as his onee-san thoughbeit.
>>46724302iirc you use it and gain a permanent 1.1x dv multiplier i think up to double. over the course of a year or so you can get quite strong from fixers alone
>>46724302It raises your (if self-applied) or one of your pets' base DV. I've been alternating between applying them to myself and to my more death-prone pets.
do you guys just brute-force your way, grinding low level mobs to level up,or do you play more methodically, where you wet exploding enemies, polymorph enemies you dont wanna deal with and so on?when i first started i figured that the games more about the first kind of playstyle, only to die a lot. I kinda refuse to adapt my playstyle, but I'm wondering if I had the wrong idea about the game
>>46724858i brute force untill i have hopeless potentials, then i spend about 12 hours building a rube goldberg machine to print blessed potions of potential and herbs. usually get bored halfway through and quit to play a different game
>>46724858A bit of both. For weapon skills I just kill things, same with offensive spells. For attributes I build a farm or ranch and select for what I'm after then cook sell the rest.
is there going to be grinding in Elin like there is in Elona? I want to kill the gods
How can I get glass in Elin?I can't craft any machine without it
>>46725700Put sand in the Kiln. You can dig for sand on the beach maps.
You guys play with any graphic packs?
>>46725953Aren't they all outdated?
>>46725973Beautify was updated 3 days ago it seems.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2761610/Creator_of_Another_World/This was released yesterday, and people are comparing it to Elona, so it might be worth a try to bridge the time until Elin is done
>>46727677I remember people saying it's shit so proceed with caution
>>46727730Gave the demo a shot and it plays like the other JP RPGMaker games that had Elona inspiration. Some were rather complex but nowhere close to the real deal. Add in all the mods and variants Elona got and you're even further off.Controller support is nice though and it has some QOL features, might be worth it at 50% off for brainless couch gaming.
>>46730494Does it play like an actual roguelike or just an elona ripoff?
>>46730921Only played for an hour or two but not entirely, I'd say it's more a roguelite with some Elona elements. You can summon two followers from the start you customize yourself and I had zero problems with the enemies so far. XP is shared however so it's not "free", suppose you could take just one or none to make things harder.The quest board isn't available in the demo so I don't know how if they got more variable difficulties there either.Not sure how representative the demo is though, it has the usual "Please try the demo version to check whether it works properly on your PC" so it might be more to see if it runs than showcase the core features.Looking at the release trailer and the dlsite page there seems to be more content that might change things up. There's also a built in workshop where you can download and upload content, adding custom portraits for example can be done there but it didn't seem to work in the demo. While convenient it raises the question what happens if the publisher decides to kill the service managing it to push another game too.From what I'd played I say it's more something you recommend to someone who never played a roguelike or Elona before and need a entry title with more handholding to get started. If you're familiar with the genre you might end up getting annoyed with what this game lacks rather than what it got if you know what I mean.
>>46731269Is it at least comfy?
>>46731673Possibly. Seems you can fish, farm, cook, craft, date, marry, build up your town and generally dick around so there's more laid back, casual sandbox potential at least. But then again I just briefly played the demo. It's like a 100mb download so easy to check it out yourself if you're interested. Even if it's feature gimped you can at least see if the GUI, graphics and basic gameplay is to your liking.
>Fixed a bug where agents (virtual characters for build mode) could die from overwork.
