『Dolls Nest:ORPHANS』The mecha girl action game originally created by Nitroplus has been reimagined as a comic from a unique perspective by up-and-coming manga artist Nykken and original scenario writer Kenji Maejima!https://comic-walker.com/detail/KC_008597_S/episodes/KC_0085970000200011_E?episodeType=firstPrevious thread: >>23904585
We're finally in the decayed broodchamber
game punished nehma is kind of a sight to behold. But the manga version unnerves me
accumulation zone being the next level always made more sense. Fuck corrosion though.
Gilli-Vell is finally here
well that's it for this month's first update. reminder the game's getting an update this coming tgshttps://x.com/Dolls_Nest/status/2086649234787291468
>>24006416And the model kit is up for preorder, releases next year.

>>24006524was she always that blue? I swear her color scheme were more more monotonous blacks.
>>24006410GV! I still need to progress in my second playthrough so I can save her.>>24006526Wasn't expecting such a cute face.
Manga Nehma is alot more upfront about being an angry god.The manga actually makes you feel for the Seedling. Considering the manga sub-title of "Orphans", looks like family is going to be a central theme.In this chapter, Nehma made it clear that she only ever views the Seedling as a tool. Now that I think about it, game Nehma was a tad flippant about treating the seedling as a sentient being too, but I guess Reina Ueda's gentle voice kind of dampened just how much of a cunt she really is. Without her sweet voice, Nehma really just seems stone fucking cold. >>24006378Nanakino spilling spaghetti as she tries calling Nehma "M-Mother" only to get shut down by Nehma bluntly calling her a mere Doll kinda hurts. That look of shock and despair in lower left panel really sells it. Leave my autistic seedling girl alone you cunt. >>24006386Nehma's opinions on the factions in the three main levels are more blunt compared to the game:Upper Levels = Clowns that play make-believeMiddle Levels = Rabble that keep killing each otherLower Levels = Shithole infested with ugly abominations>>24006391And after killing what remains of Nanakino's soul, she makes it clear that her purpose is to be Nehma's personal executioner. Genocide and Plunder all that goes against her. She's really pushing Nanakino into a murderhobo playthrough. Stupid bitch is locking herself into the "A New Queen" Ending. But jokes aside, seems that the main narrative being set up is Nanakino meeting a bunch of Nymphs as she goes up Hod and finally starting to think for herself.
I hope we get to see a doll with maxed out boob slider.
>>24006346so is this just manga version of the game and the lore of entirety?
>>24007021both, it also adds more details on setting and the characters. >>24006741yeah nehma's cute voice and vagueness does a good job masking how much of a bitch she really is.
>>24006558She is, but you can only see it during closeups.
>>24006400>>24006403>>24006405>>24006410Really love Gilli-Vell's entrance into the story.>Literally tank the blast from the Variant worm and come out unscathed>Respond by curtly telling the Variant to fuck off via giant cannon>See a Nymph corpse, apologize for disturbing its rest>Aura Farm by removing her sickass helmetLove her character archetype too. You'd think from the cold and rough way she talks that she'd be kind of a bitch. But she's actually one of the nicest and levelheaded people in the story. Really shows that after telling a Variant to fuck off, next thing she does is apologize to a dead body regarding the noise she just made.
>>24006626break the wall at the center of the tram(you can tell because it's got a platform to nowhere) by either baiting the giant spider mech or sabi-ing the fuck out of it. >>24007542she's a cute tsun and hopefully manga seedling doesn't fuck up and prevent her suicide.
>>24007547Yeah, I looked up how to do it after she jumped in my first playthrough. I'd like to know how many people found that room naturally.
Once Gilly joins the Broodchamber in the game, she immediately dotes on both Yoyo and the Twins too.Honestly, I think Gypro-Verde might've been one of the better colonies to be part of. In one of the earlier chapters in the manga, the unnamed Gypro-Verde Nymph held a last stand in order to keep Gardiniggers at bay while having complete faith in her commander, i.e. Gilli. I imagine there's a huge culture of solidarity and familial ties within Gypro-Verde. They genuinely love their sisters and seem to have a fondness for little Nymphs. And from this chapter alone, we see Gilli apologizing to a corpse, so they probably have the whole honorable warrior culture thing too. Compare that to Gardina, who literally views all Nymphs under its umbrella as disposable meat sent to the grinder. Not much care for their younglings too as seen in Yodo and Yoyo's treatment. A bunch of gayass backstabbers too. Gypro-Verde viewed the Variants as a bigger threat to Nymphkind as a whole and geared their war efforts to combat them, but while Gypro-Verde was preparing for full on war against Variants in the lower levels (probably because all Nagarans already fucking died trying to NAGARA DAMASHII them), Gardina decided to use this opportunity to stab them in the back.FUCK GARDINIGGERS
>>24007578my only complaint is you don't get to fight more hostile nymphs in this game like you do in AC. sure would like to see more gardiniggers sick a gankfest on me.
>>24006526>125 dollarydoosHoly shit what
>>24009491That's about the expected price range of higher end girlpla.Believe it or not, model kits like this are cheaper than good figures. Like half or a third of their price. Cute anime girl toys are a very expensive kind of crack.
>>24009491>>24009517It's around the price of the fancier Megami Device or Frame Arms Girl kits. But the thing is, those lines earned the right to ask for that asking price with their quality. Kotobukiya stuff is generally accepted to be top of the line kits in the girlpla market. GSC's Plamatea line is still relatively new and their first releases have been a bit rough. Stuff improves over time yeah sure, but I think I'll wait on the reviews of this kit first. For that price, they really should be on the same level of quality of a Kotobukiya kit in the same price range.
>>24009528>>24009517It's also bigger, as MD and 30Minute Sisters are usually 12 cm, this one is 15 and comes loaded with weapons and optional parts. I do think it was expensive as usually I only get 30MS, but I wanted to show support for the franchise so I didn't hesitate to PO
>>24010032Damn i wish bandai adopted dolls nest to their 30mm line. Its a perfect fit as another subline for sisters.
>>24010032Considering that GSC ended up getting the license for Demonbane and Muramasa Moderoids, I guess it was inevitable that Dolls Nest would end up in their Plamatea line. Hell, they also have an Al Azif kit also coming up in their lineup. I guess GSC has a stranglehold on Nitroplus IPs. I'm just glad that Dolls Nest is getting stuff. Not fully sold on the Jane Dolls Nest kit yet though. I'm a bit miffed that they don't have an effect part for the cool as fuck wing energy exhaust for when she activates her legally distinct moonlight blade in her 2nd phase. Feel like that's the coolest part of her design. If they do end up releasing further kits though, then I'll do a day 1 PO for a Nanakino or Gilli-Vell one. Hell, hopefully Dolls Nest remains relevant long enough for either Kotobukiya or Bandai to rent the IP too for kit releases.
>no yoyo buttshotsShe will remain pure.
>>24011573Anon, we already seen much more than just her butt.She's about as impure and used as any common Gardinan whore.
>>24011593That shot was to represent her purity and strength. Slander her again and I will slice thee from chop to navel
what's the point of tank legs or heavy bipeds in this game. I swear quad legs are the best legs in this game and no named character ever uses one.
>>24012441The best legs are all the various lighter bipeds, you can't nagara damashi with heavy shit. Also the point of heavy legs is that they are COOL, not every part type needs to be meta.
>>24012488sabi is overated shit. Now two gars will kill anything with 100% reliability just ask the gyproniggers at how good it was.

>>24006346We shouldn’t be programming robots to think like people. We should be programming them to think like insects
>>24013288Seems like some kind of Arena mode ala AC games rather than a full blown multiplayer mode? Might be cool.More lore for the lorefags at least.>>24013289I mean, Nymphs are quite literally antgirls. They have antlike societal behaviour.
>>24013288>>24013352so it's just re fight the random nymphs as an arena. This update better increase stat cap then.
>>24013288>>24013352An arena would be awesome, especially if they put some new characters in there like how AC had a bunch of random schlubs that weren't in any missions. It could also be some nine breaker shit with obstacle courses and time trials.
>>24014296Those silly little Raven profiles in the Arena has always been a highlight of AC games for me. So it'd be nice if they had them. From the announcement, it looks like they'll have dialogue so it'd be cool to see Nymphs from the other colonies that weren't represented in the main campaign or sidequests. Though if it really is a sort of Arena mode, then they really should retool or nerf Sabi because even in Hard Mode, the wandering Nymph encounters can be oneshotted by a NAGARA DAMASHII from the WAGA YAIBA.
>>24014383All weapons need to be rebalanced, specially bullet speed. Lots of them feel like I am shooting nerf guns, thats why I only use the the physical weapons or the sniper cannons that are almost hitscan.
>>24016004It reminds me of AC2 balance where only a handful of weapons deal enough damage per ammunition capacity. In DN there's no continuum of high momentary damage with expensive shot cost to low shot cost but middling damage. Like there are some that are just gimped in both directions. The souls like nature of the game also (at least for the first run where you don't know what's coming) discourages weapons that aren't ammo cost efficient.
>>24016242I just want some of the explosives to have a point to their existence. I wanna run around and shoot shit with zooks, give me the damage for that to actually be viable(even if it's still not meta). I don't mind things being inefficient but at least let the inefficient shit do damage.
I'm getting wrecked by that doll boss in aids valley. I hit her in the back with the almighty potatogod and it didn't take nearly enough health of as I was hoping. Her shotgun blasts chunk me really bad. Any tips?
>>24017816that boss has bloated health and defense. Just bait her into doing the hammer dive and she'll leave her self open for a good couple of seconds. Do note she has no second phase gimmicks so you can keep repeating this.
>>24016242>>24016305reload and magazine needs significant buffs. It pisses me of the tree gun I painstakingly grinded for does such mid damage on top of being a one shot wonder
>>24017816try using the corrosive handguns
