qursha my love
I love Platinum Lil' Salomon tickets.
Still seething that I got 4 5 stars and none of them were what I wanted.
>>1624015>big cool sexy robothell yeah>attached at the hip to some stupid bullshit f*male characterfags deserve better than having to bend the knee to f*males in every single banner of every single fucking lifeworks game. you guys are such cucks for sticking with this slop.
New player, any help with the free 5*? I rerolled for Wakan Tanka and got him with a dupe on the same multi + the other guy in only 100 stones, and I wanted another 5* that is good and can help me with content. I like Ulaanbaatar, Q'ursha, Loki, Shamash, Sandayu, Surtr, Horkeo Kamui, Tangaroa and Cthugha but with a lot of choices I dont know who to pick. Or can I just go with my dick and get anyone who I like?Thanks anons
do not give up on your rolls
>>1624282I don't have the 5* version, but at least in the 3* version you can just have the robot without the loli by changing costumes.
>>1624317>Or can I just go with my dick and get anyone who I like?That's the correct answer, but if you just want someone strong to help you clear hard missions, I think Kamui or Cthugha are the best options. I'm not a metafag though, so someone else might have a better suggestion.
>>1624317I don't know who you should pick with your 5* ticket, but that ticket won't be going anywhere for some years so you don't need to be in much of a hurry to decide, since you do have disco Wakan he can probably carry you through 95% of the content in the game with good support, make sure you do the 8th anniversary quest and get your 8 platinum salomon tickets then use one of those to pick Leannan Sidhe, once she's fully limit broken she's easily one of the best offensive support characters in the game despite being 4* and enables pretty much anyone to be a usable dps, so you can use your own Leannan to support either your Wakan or a more appropriate support list dps and wreck most of the content in the game. And the anniversary quest platinum tickets do go away in like 3 weeks so make sure you make all your picks by then.
>>1624376This mindset is why I have close to 0 stones and tickets.
>>1624317Welcome to the game! Honestly Nightclub Wakan Tanka is really good and can clear a lot of content so using your 5 star ticket shouldn't be a priority as it won't expire for a very long time unless you want to get a favorite of yours sooner rather than later.But if you really want to make sure you can clear stuff I'd do what >>1624447 suggests and use one of your Platinum Lil' Salomon Tickets to get Leannan Sidhe and then find someone who has Cthugha as a support his 5 star fire version to be exact and send them a friend request if they accept you can use Cthugha's charge skill this is important because Cthugha has a 70% chance to get 16 charge points and heal himself every time he gets a buff and Leannan Sidhe gives a bunch of buffs. Just keeping moving her around the board and make sure she's directly behind Cthugha and watch the world burn about 90% of the time.And here are some tips and tricks to help you out.We have weekly mission and you get Rainbow Shards for clearing them. They can be used in Andvari's shop. It might be tempting to use them for Transient Stones but use them on the AR cards and Lil' Salomon Tickets you get more value that way. Don't use stones to get AR cards they aren't super necessary so just wait and use AR Lil' Salomon Tickets to get them preferably when a limited AR banner is up. Also the effects the cards have will stay the same until they're level 100 but in most cases only having one copy of a card is fine.Along with limit breaking characters make sure to increase their skill level which increases the activation rate of their skills. You can get Souls from the Skill Boost Training stage. Your team cost will be low at the start but getting your player rank up will slowly give you more points to work with. They're are AR cards that boost rank experience you can find out more on the wiki.
>>1624582>>1624317When summoning with stones it's better to do a tenfold rather than 10 single summons. When doing a tenfold the 10th character will have a 96% chance of being a 4 star and a 4% chance of being a 5 star. For reference the normal 5 star rate is 2% also we currently do not have any pity rate or spark mechanics in the game.Unlike most Gacha games getting multiple copies of characters isn't really necessary. When you get a copy of a character their Sacred Artifact level increases which makes their Charge Skill deal more damage and boost buffs/debuffs they might provide. The level amount gained from each new copy is tied to the characters rarity. 3 stars SA level will increase by 1, 4 stars will increase by 5, and 5 stars will increase by 20. Also if a characters SA level reaches 100 they are taken out of the summoning pool.You'll be getting items such as HP and Atk Seeds and Blossoms they increase a character's HP or Attack. Use the seeds first as they can only increase the stats up to 1000 then you can use Blossoms to increase the stats to 2000. You'll also get Level seeds which will increase a characters level cap by 1 and the max is 20 and Skill seeds will increase a character's skill activation rate by an additional 1% up to 10%. Skill seeds can't be used unless a characters Skill Level is 100. However Level and Skill Seeds are expensive to use and are considered late game goals. Also any upgrades involving Seeds and Blossoms effect all versions of a character even if you don't have them currently. For example you use some Seeds to increase Nightclub Wakan Tanka's HP by 200 the same effect will be added to his 3 star and his other two 5 star versions automatically if you ever summon them.That's everything I can think of off the top of my head currently if you have any more questions just ask.

>>1624046Alot of this stuff could've been in the game already if they weren't busy blowing money on going to fujoshit events and paying for huge ads that don't even work considering the game still only makes around $100,000 a month.
First one for "I want to fuck all the akkenshi"
>>1624597>>1624582>>1624447>>1624404Thank you anons! I got Leanan and will wait for the future for the 5* ticket, but what should I waste the other 7 anniversary ones? Memories or just any character I want? Im having fun for the moment desu.
>>1625118With as many tickets as we got I think you can easily afford to spend 4 or 5 on straight up whoever you like for personality or looks, I remember people saying Thunderbird and Otohime are good damage dealers so maybe pick one of those if you feel like making sure there's good fighters in your ranks, and don't forget to limit break, level and skill level your Wakan and Leannan, the bulk of most character's powers comes from being at least on their third breakthrough with skill level 100, I remember having a lot of trouble with that when I started out so hopefully you can get some friends with lv90 characters to deal with the breakthrough and exp quests, with those two up and working you can then easily choose who you want to level up next. Also ARs are nice but not more important than characters (because characters give out drop bonuses during events) so unless you absolutely love the art of one of them more than any possible character pick I think you're better off getting characters and just buying ARs from the Andvari shop, buy at least 1 of each there and use all the player rank ones in your party as you go through the main story for a lot of ranks, you want higher player ranks for greater party cost.
>>1624932Getting topped by Masashi while going to town on Yoshito... ToT
>>1625369I'd be happy just being Masashi's slave and being his free use cumdump.
>>1625118I'd suggest getting a copy of the AR Card A Peaceful Day as it's the only limited card in the shop that will be immediately useful. At base value it increases Rank Exp by 10% and Coins earned through battle by 5%. As I mentioned before card effects wont change until the card is level 100 and the effects of A Peaceful Day will change to 15% and 10% which I don't think is worth 6 Platinum Tickets to max out. Also getting a stack of the 25 million Coins and the 50 Owner's Medallions wouldn't hurt. The coins will give you enough probably until mid to late game upgrades and the Owner's Medallions are needed for a characters final limit break and can be tedious to get early game. And with any tickets you have left you can choose anyone you like as I always say play with your favorites. I forgot to mention yesterday in Andvari's shop there is a limited time AR Card called Fatherhood Since Then and it increases Rank Exp by 15%. So I'd get one or two copies before the end of the month and get the rest when the Card is back in the shop sometime next year as time limited AR cards in Andvari's shop have not been reran more than once. Also grab a copy of Written in the Here and Now and In This Place of Education as both of them increase Rank Exp. In This Place of Education will also increase experience from battle by 5% at base value. Finally get a copy of Revere Thy Teachers at some point as it will give all the experience earned from battle to the character with it equipped and it increases battle experience making it invaluable when used with other AR cards that boost battle experience and characters with Mentor especially in Dungeon quests but that's end game stuff. You can use the wiki to look at the cards mentioned as some of their names have not been translated in game yet.
>>1624015Is this shit ever getting a PC client or what>emulate itno.
>>1625746>8 years inFuck no dude. Don't tell me you actually have hope for a PC client.
>>1625772not really hope, just vague vibes, maybe manifesting something. but probably not.i guess my main problems (tiny screen, bad eyesight) could be solved by getting an iPad. still $200+ for furry husbandos is a big ask, maybe I'll continue to admire from afar...
>>1625963Why not just emulate it though? It's trivial to set up.
>>1625983I remember trying Bluestacks with another mobile game and in general it was just kinda annoying to play, things like lagginess and clicks not registering. And in general I just distrust making purchases with an emulator. Boomer mindset ig
TadaTuesday
>>1625746It's pretty fucking insane that Eidos can make native PC and Mac clients along with simultanious ENG/JP/CN releases while Lifewonders can't do either. If a company even more no-name than them can do it then there's actually no excuse.
>>1626219I mean who knows 9th anniversary plans could include it, apparently Chapter 16 is close to if not the complete end of the story, so after they finish, they could just focus on optimizing and expanding the game and its audience
>>1626232Oh God...is Housamo about to go the Honkai 3rd Part 2 route?
>>1625746It will when all the date quests get English translations.Meaning never
>>1626078I was going to try the Windows subsystem for Android to try and run it natively on Windows, but then Microsoft said they were gonna end support for it in 2025...
>>1626232>apparently Chapter 16 is close to if not the complete end of the storyKind of. It should be the end of Book 2, but there's still Book 3 left.Considering how the books have lasted at least 8 chapters so far, I think it's safe to assume there's still a decent amount of plot left to cover.
>>1626219lw has a very archaic account system verification too
>>1626219>>1626244why does it take so long for translations to come out anywayare lw secret racistsbecause otherwise it’s pretty crazy to think that English is always two years behind and date quests aren’t translatedyou’d have to fuck up pretty bad if your pipeline is in that stateand that’s not even mentioning lah
>>1626483they only have 1 translator
>>1626483Probably. I'm only kinda kidding. Taiwan players get LW to show up at events and even seiyuu panels but EN gets jack shit
>>1626219>EidosDoes that even still exist? They were a giant in the late 90s but they pretty much disappeared in the mid-2000s
>>1626607The Tomb Raider publisher? They're apparently with Gearbox now after being passed around by a bunch of other companies according to Wikipedia.Though anon was definitely not talking about them lmaoAnother Eidos of Dragonvein is another gay gacha, more well known for having actual R18 content.
>>1626252>another 5 years before this game is overHoly shit my phone storage is going to die this is going to be the only game I can have on my android... PC client soon hopefully with an actual account link system. At least Aaron from Crave Saga should be coming next week so I can finish collecting my husband from that. Going to have to move Anados off my phone too. Sigh I wish Lifewonders games didn't make me so damn paranoid to delete them off my phone...
>>1626219because you guys have already shown that you'll gobble up whatever lifeworks shits onto your plate, even if that means getting spooked by female characters, getting told "i really like you as a friend anon, my wife would love you! i can't wait for you to meet my daughter!" etc etcwhy would they bother raising the bar when you guys will take what they give you regardless?
>>1626628>Another Eidos of Dragonvein is another gay gacha, more well known for having actual R18 content.Probably the best part, though I've heard the game has gone somewhat downhill recently>tfw no story where Tadatomo saying pic related to you
>>1626660anados doesn't have shotas though it's just charlotte so he's the only reason I bother playing that slop of copy pasted hairy fat men with muscles
>>1626654With them constantly adding new characters and events it's a valid concern, honestly.Only thing I can suggest is to try clearing the cache on the title screen if you feel like the game's taking up too much space. It auto downloads assets when necessary and chances are you don't need to have a bunch of VN backgrounds/audio files on your phone at all times.
>>1626746>>With them constantly adding new characters and events it's a valid concern, honestly.I wish they would stop adding so much new characters and instead focused on fleshing out the current ones more. Not sure how that would look, but animated sprites like they have in Live A Hero would be fucking awesome
>>1624282>>1624403I have both the 3* and 5*.Unfortunately, she's still in the 5* art no matter what, but the even-numbered images have his voice instead.
>>1625118That Wakan variant feels like pretty much a powercreep version of standard Cthugha.
>>1627457He can't spam charge attacks anywhere near as fast as Cthugha though? I think? He gets one for free at the start and that's it, I'm not sure if there's a charger character that could help nightclub Wakan keep up with Cthugha for battlefield nuking.
Do you think they will ever do a Live A Hero and Housamo crossover event?
Happy 8th Anniversary Housamo!
>>1628565I feel like they want to but won't actually do it. Live a Hero x Housamo was an April Fools joke... 2 years ago wasn't it?
>>1628728qursha is a lonely wolf, step away from him
>>1629015>>1628728give him hugs and love
>>1629512sniff his pits
>>1629015Doesn't Qursha sleep around on a regular basis? Anon should get grabby with him, it's what the hound wants.
I've finally decided to start rereading the Main Story and Events in release order in an effort to be caught up by the time chapter 15 gets translated next year and I just finished the first two Main Story chapters. I forgot how much they throw at you in Chapter 1 in just two story sections. I found it interesting that Snow mentions Infernal Attribute despite it not being in actual gameplay until Chapter 7 which would be around 1 and a half years later if I remember correctly. In the same conversation Claude mentioned two Sacred Artifacts that I don't think are associated with any character I could be wrong I've only read the Main Story up to the end of Chapter 10 and events whenever they were translated Also they have updated Mononobe's sprite which surprised me I thought it would be only for newer Chapters.As for Chapter 2 I forgot how around 85% of it's sections take about a minute or two to read except for like 3 sections and I'm surprised I actually remembered the important stuff from it. But now next on this list is to read Gift From An Apprentice SantaAlso I seen that Noku/RPBBW drew of Shennong for Anniversary. I'm glad he seems to be doing well enough and that he's still drawing even if it's not as often as he used to.
>>1629707>Claude mentioned two Sacred Artifacts that I don't think are associated with any characterDang, I must've completely forgotten that. Do you remember what they were?I wouldn't be surprised if it's something they still plan on using considering how much they set up ahead of time. The "body part" incident from Ch. 2 took until Ch. 14 to get explained, after all.>But now next on this list is to read Gift From An Apprentice SantaRereading everything they've released up until now is no small feat. Wishing you luck, anon.
>>1629732>Do you remember what they wereHere's a screenshot of what Claude says. Again I don't know if those two Sacred Artifacts are associated with anyone but I could be misremembering. Also thank you for covering the spoiler even though I accidently uncovered it for a second while moving my mouse like an idiot. At least I was already spoiled on that plot point back when that section was released because people had mentioned it but I don't know the specifics other than they brought that back in the story so I'm not completely spoiled at least.>Wishing you luck, anon.Thanks! I actually finished Gift From An Apprentice Santa last night it took maybe 50 minutes at most for me to read. So it's going faster than I expected but I know eventually the story sections will get longer than 2 minutes a piece. But next is New Year's with Lil' Salomon which never received an official translation surprisingly.
>>1629986>At least I was already spoiled on that plot pointAh, sorry about that. I didn't want to be too specific with the spoiler just in case, but it was the most relevant instance of vaulted content that I could think of. Maybe Jormungandr's voice would've been a better example, in hindsight.As for the SAs themselves, I definitely don't recall any shears. Their owners possibly being a mix of the Moirai from Greek mythology and Shakespeare's Three Witches sounds right up LW's alley, though.The scythe, on the other hand, does ring a bell. It could be another link to Shakespeare, his Sonnet 12. There's obvious parallels in how it talks about "making defence against time's scythe by breeding" and the situation surrounding Mononobe and Curren/MS-C1. Though neither of Curren's units are Aether like Claude suggested.>But next is New Year's with Lil' Salomon which never received an official translation surprisingly.The one with Gandharva! Frustrating that the few times where he's focus, it's not translated.When are you finally letting the bird be a freak in his full glory, LW?
>>1629707That’s a lot to read even if you have until May to do it.
>>1630075>Ah, sorry about thatYou're fine don't worry about it like I said I'm not completely spoiled about that plot point.>I definitely don't recall any shearsI thought I had figured it out today thinking Hippolytus had shears as a Sacred Artifact but it's actually a garland/floral crown. I will admit I'm tempted to see what you said about the scythe but I'm not going to possibly spoil myself. I'll just use that as motivation to keep reading so that I can possibly see it sooner.>When are you finally letting the bird be a freak in his full glory, LW?Maybe soon as Xigma has come back and drew the alts for Nyarlathotep and for Isaribi from LiveAHero this year. I'll admit I forgot that Gandharva was even a character in the game he doesn't even have have any Skill Evolutions I feel bad for him.>>1630134Yeah it's a bit daunting but seeing these info graphs from BROSSO13344515 on Twitter helped me visualize a plan easier and sparked my interested to do this. Basically the game has around 90 Main Story/Events in total and most content from 2022 to 2024 hasn't been translated so I won't worry about reading any of those until they get translated. Plus there's the events that were translated this year and I'm probably not going to reread those when I get to them on the list. So that leaves me with 60 to 70 events/stories to read and in theory the Chapter 15 translation should be released around 23 weeks from now. So I would need to read 3 events/stories a week to be caught up by then. Which I've already done that for this week but I want to try and finish the first Golden Week event before Sunday to get a big head start.
>Tries reading Housamo to learn about the characters I nut to each night.>Gets blasted by insane amounts of jargon and mucho texto.>Goes back to just cooming.
>>16302822019-2022 was the golden age of this game for real...Haven't been feeling the game since (yes I know the irony of posting an Otter pic while saying this) more of a login zombie game for me
>>1630927competition wasn't as hard back in the day with gaycha. Housamo was a game released with already outdated software and now is harder to justify it's flaws
>>1630877Pretty much why I wish character and date quests would be translated so I could read about the guys I care about and not the insane amounts of plot exposition and technical terms every story chapter I try to read.
The newest Christmas event Transform into a Christmas Eve!? Magical Snowland has been announced and is scheduled for Friday.There is an amusement park full of dreams and hopes. Amusement park full of snow and fluff!? Together with the mysterious magical girl and the large mascot Frosty, you can transform your life with the make-up of your dreams!!! With the party hermit at the sparkling night parade, exciting attractions with the butterbur leaf dwarf! Go to the Sansan Music Band show with the puppet master Hakkenji, and dance with the king in yellow at the castle in the center!? The most lively and fun holy night party is waiting for you!!! Transformed into a holy night!? https://housamo.info/news/xmas2024/This was very quicky machine translated so what you read might not be 100% accurate.I think Party Hermit would be Tianzun and king in yellow is Hastur but that's all I can make guesses on at the moment.
>>1631097>butterbur leaf dwarf>puppet master HakkenjiKorpokkur and Yoshito probably?Pretty decent assortment if so, interested to see all of them
>>1631103ti's already leaked
>>1631097>Yoshito finally getting an alt>Hastur getting an altYoshito finally getting fed... it sounds cringe as fuck to type but I genuinely cried tears. My boy getting some love... I hope they show off his cute butt. My wallet will *not* survive this banner.Hastur showing off his thong bulge some more will be really great to see.My perfect loner boyfriend, haah. It sounds a bit ungrateful when there's still fans of older units without alts but I've been dreaming of this day. ToTI will stay up until the second the update drops.
>>1631097>mysterious magical girlFuck this game.
>>1630927>more of a login zombie gameThe mostly braindead mechanics and the lack of new (translated) content don't really leave much room for anything other than a "log in, rush through your dailies, log out" type game.
>>1631097>We have Snow Miku at home>Snow Miku at home:
>Yoshito a 4 star Wood Christmas limited like Sitri>Korpokkur a 5 star with HasturLmaoBanner looks sick I hope I can pull at least 5 Yoshitos from this*sigh* Monthly Pack 1 you and I are best friends again
>>1631097>>1631764>5 star Korpokkur immediately after I spent 700 stones for a 5 star I didn't even getFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>when you expecting a lewd outfit? You dirty adult *kills you*
I want a lewd hastur you fuckers
>>1631764So Yoshito and Korpokkur were the other two honestly I forgot they even existed. I'm sorry for anyone whose going to try to summon for Hastur and having to worry about getting Korpokkur instead. The Christmas outfits are pretty standard in my opinion but the alternate outfits are really different I'll give them that. Hastur having more clothing now than in his original version is funny to me but those tights are leaving nothing to the imagination and probably cutting off all his blood flow. Tianzun's alternate outfit really took me by surprise like sir the nightclub event was two months ago it's now time for amusement park Christmas.
>>1631097>>1631757>SnegurochkaNo, it's this girl

>>1632700>scrimblo bimblo jack>twink jack>now bara jack
>>1632702Fuck is a scrimblo bimblo?
Yoshitooooo ToTAnd Hastur!These happened on back to back shop freebie tickets. Kinda want Korpokkur too but no dice. I'm just glad I didn't have to buy a monthly pack after all haha
roll for him
>>1632700He is cute Hopefully he doesn't come out soon though cuz I blew my load trying (failing) to get mountain bigfoot
>>1632940The fact that he's a NPC instead of the sparkledog furry Miku shows how much this company's fallen off.
I got everybody in just 4 multirolls and 8 tickets. Now it's back to saving for a future Shino variant. I hope my good luck returns by the time that happens.
>>1632942>why couldn't we get generic polar bear?!Are you really seething this much over a deviantart design? Go play Crave Saga or Another Eidos if you want bad polar bear designs
>>1632958as opposed to generic kemololi?also that jack frost is hilariously not generic when compared to typical jack frost designs
>>1632964>"jack frost polar bear furry" on google>top resultAlmost identical
>>1632971>almost identicalanon must be blind
>>1632974>polar bear with ice powers and blue markings with toned bodyOooo so original! Let me consume the slop!
>>1632976>only markings are his face, and very minimal at that>not even naked, sharply dressed>zoomer lingowhy is there a lost lolifucker in this thread
>>1632977Ome of his Blue archive friends must've convinced him to try out Housamo and now his brain is fucked.
>>1632977>both housamo and anados threads have some woman loving bear cunt pissing their tampon over "muh bear I would choose over a man"I just want you to shut the fuck up about a fucking worthless NPC that wasn't even worthy of making it on a bannerUnbelievable autism
>>1632987>NPC>not even worthy of being a bannerI see, this is your first gacha
>>1632989>Airavata from the Valentine's Snowfight will be a playable character soon, trust!Lmao
>>1633026>his argument is literally a recolorthis is getting desperate
>>1632949>Now it's back to saving for a future Shino variantStrange, I don't remember making this post? Are you me?
>tfw no 3 meters tall fat bf to warm me up this Christmas
>>1628728
Was there a character in this game that hated or dislike you at first? I genuinely can't remember
>>1633381Shiva, kind of.
>>1633381Kirito?I only read up to Chapter 10 before I stopped because the plot was just too complicated for me but Kirito is the only one I remember who wanted to just kill you because he knows how dangerous and essential you are to the Game. I would have said the Invaders too but I'm not sure, their whole thing is to assimilate everyone into a cult apparently.
>>1633381Kirito, Arc, and Aizen come to mind.
>>1633381tfw no thicc manlet dog to manhandle around and sppon withStill cant believe I started drawing just because of him
>>1633391Arc doesn't hate you, he's just going along with Babalon's bullshit.
sex with qurshathen maybe leash him up so he won't leave you
>>1633394now draw him naked
>>1633394>Still cant believe I started drawing just because of himSame but for a different character. How's your progress? I'm assuming you recently started anyway.
>>1633567Not too bad so far, still need to get better at rendering though. I'm at about 3 years or so of drawing>>1633543https://litter.catbox.moe/h0y9io.pnghttps://litter.catbox.moe/fg6hfe.png
>>1633750How funny, I've seen you working on this picture awhile ago. >I'm at about 3 years or so of drawingImpressive dedication. I've only been doing this for a month.
>>1633853Thanks anon! Keep at it anon, if you draw stuff you like you will find the process becomes much easier and even fun
Now that all the limited banners for the year have been added did any of your favorites get an alternate version this year? Are there any characters you’re hoping will get an alternate version in 2025? If so is there a specific event you’d want them to be apart of?
>>1633901Yoshitoooooooooo my beloved ToTI would've preferred if he could show off his cute butt in a summer event since Christmas skins tend to be SFW but I'm just happy he's gotten an alt (*cough cough* Goemon, Mephistopheles *cough cough*)I hope Sphinx gets some love next year with an alt, maybe Valentine's since he's already debuted in Halloween and had his swimsuit skin revealed alreadyAnd if they continue the Hakkenshi love train Masashi hopefully gets an alt next year too! He'd be cute in any event
>>1633907UOOOOOHHH
>>1633896Do you use a line tool or by hand?
>>1633901Favorites? NoCharacters I like on some level? Sure. Hakumen, Toshito and Korpokkur.
>>1634115For small lines and details I do by hand, for longer lines I use the continuous curve line tool
>>1633901Hastur is definitely the stand out for me. Especially since I spent so many stones trying to get his "standard" 5-star to no avail and this time he came home from a single 10-pull.As for wanted alts, Valentines Cipactli and/or Gurangatch is the dream but them getting any alts at all would be great too.I also have to keep coping for a Gandharva alt, as is tradition.
>>1633901I wouldn't mind seeing my boy Catoblepas get some more love, or at least a rerun of his summer skin since I missed it when it came out.
Don't forget to use your 8th Anniversary Tickets if you haven't already as they will expire in less than 3 1/2 days!>>1633901Wakan Tanka and Bigfoot. I managed to get Wakan Tanka and I got Enigma twice instead of Bigfoot. Maybe I'll try again for Bigfoot when the banner gets reran.As for next year I'm really hoping for Valentine's Shennong (might be in vain though). The other would be Takemaru I would like for him to get a Valentine's or a Summer alt.>>1634415Congrats on getting Hastur really easily. And speaking of Gandharva I read New Year's with Lil' Salomon last night. It's interesting to see that Gandharva is the start of are you so and so/you remind me of so and so. >>1634438We should in theory get a rerun of Summer Pool Twilight as well as Akiba and Dragons! next year with an English translation. Since Summer River Adventure and Paradise Hot Spring Village of Hell received translations this year.
>>1634622>Don't forget to use your 8th Anniversary Tickets if you haven't already as they will expire in less than 3 1/2 days!Thank you!
Whats with everyone wanting valentines alts.>>1634622Need to take your own advice you haven’t used any.
>>1634622>I read New Year's with Lil' Salomon last night.Nice! Sounds like you're keeping up pace with reading 3 scenarios a week so far.>It's interesting to see that Gandharva is the start of are you so and soFirst of many, yeah. Also when it starts to become common for the MC to get roped into other people's problems and enjoy it in the end.I still remember that last "good or bad luck could depend on perspective" scene sometimes.>>1634939Valentines is when they get to be more obviously romantic with the characters so it's an easy pick for me. Plus, the SQs are pretty much Date Quest-lite except they actually get translated.
>>1634939>Masanori in the story: "Nothing will stand in the way of our revolution!">Masanori in the Valentine's event: "Heh, well actually Summoner... I've always loved you this whole time."I mean it's a great way to see any character in a different light that isn't conflict politics but Valentine's especially is top tier fanservice if you love them. In that moment nothing else matters but their undying love for (You), not even the people you fused with.
>>1634998Except because of the nature of loops, Valentine's Events (and all events) are just official AU fanfics that don't actually mean anything.
>>1635051What is your point? The whole lore says as much, your friends in 1 loop are going to be your sworn enemies the next. That's why the point is to end the loop and stop the Game from repeating. It means nothing but it also means everything.
>>1635051Characters regain certain memories of previous loops from the Invaders arc onwards so it's silly to say that events mean nothing, particularly when Wakan ∞ and Tangaroa ∞ have a whole lot of feelings for the MC born from previous loops with flashbacks to their events.
>>1634793Anytime! >>1634939>Need to take your own adviceI know I'm just indecisive even though I really don't need anything from the shop outside of getting an AR card I forgot to get.>Whats with everyone wanting valentines alts.Since everyone said why they want Valentine's alts I'll throw my reason out there too. I agree with the other two anons but I also like that in Valentine's events the characters get casual outfits/street wear. It's fun to see what they come up with for characters to wear outside of specific event outfits or their standard outfit. Of course Valentine Panic, Valentine Jail, and Valentine's Snowball Fight are the only ones that don't do this but they're in the minority. >>1634960>Sounds like you're keeping up paceI would have done it sooner if I didn't have 400+ screenshots to translate. It was tedious to do and honestly it took me out of what I was reading so by the end I was just trying to finish it. I forgot to mention that there was a possible oversight in the event between Andvari, Pollux, and Garmr as from my understanding they didn't recognize Garmr and vise versa despite being in the same guild. But overall I though the event was cute enough. Also I'm going to post an untranslated screenshot of something Gandharva says during the event. If anyone translates this let me know what you get because Google Translate gave me something I wasn't expecting to read and I want to see if it's consistent.
>>1635169He's freaky
>>1635169>It was tedious to do and honestly it took me out of what I was reading so by the end I was just trying to finish it.I don't blame you. It's why I usually only translate a few snippets of new events at most.If you ever feel like trying something different, I've found Capture2Text to be an "okay" compromise between speed and accuracy. You'd have to be emulating the game to use it, though, as it's only for PC as far as I'm aware.>Andvari, Pollux, and Garmr as from my understanding they didn't recognize GarmrI wonder why. Chapter 3's all about the Berserkers and it comes right after this event too.>>1635194I grabbed the raw text from the book files out of curiosity and got pretty much the same thing lol
is missionaries the only relevant chapter 1-2 guild?
>>1631097>>1631385>fox girl>magical girl>ice powersSo... this means Fenrir won.
>>1635978fenrir is for sitri, stupid
>>1635978sauce?
>>1637290Mahou No Juujin Foxy Rena 1/The Magical Foxgirl Foxy-RenaI'm a little surprised there's people here who aren't familiar with Amakuchi
>>1635968Kind of yes, the other two have relevance here and there.
>>1635242> grabbed the raw text from the book files Is there a guide on doing this? I've been wondering if its possible to replace the untranslated texts with fan translated ones, or AI translation if fan translation not available
>>1638051>Is there a guide on doing this?Not as far as I know, I've mostly just been tinkering on my own with AssetStudio. I can give you the steps of what I've been doing:1. Open the event you want in game so you have the assets downloaded. (Pre-downloading is also an option)2. Go to Android/data/jp.co.lifewonders.housamo/files/UnityCache/Shared on your device. If your file manager doesn't show you the folder, use TotalCommander*.3. Export the relevant folder(s) to your PC. (In my case, it was the "newyear2017.chapter" folder)4. Open AssetStudio, click File -> Load Folder and pick the files you transferred.And that's it, your assets should be on the Asset List tab. You can export them to their original file types or just browse through them as is.*TotalCommander is also very useful in general. It lets you search for files using arguments and can zip them up to make transferring files easier. It's pretty much required on BlueStacks since it can't export folders.>I've been wondering if its possible to replace the untranslated texts with fan translated onesNever tried it myself but it likely is. I've seen at least one guy successfully replace art assets.Though I suggest being careful about editing assets and sharing it around. LifeWonders has given updates on TOS violations more than once in recent times. Pretty much everyone loses if they start making it more difficult to access files.
>>1638084>Though I suggest being careful about editing assets and sharing it around. LifeWonders has given updates on TOS violations more than once in recent times. Pretty much everyone loses if they start making it more difficult to access files.Really? I would think they wouldn't mind fan translations, since they seem to be too lazy to do it themselves, like with date quests. If I do end up making something like translated date quests, I would definitely want to share them for others to enjoyAlso, thanks for the guide anon!
>>1638090Glad to help!>I would definitely want to share them for others to enjoyYeah, I agree and appreciate the sentiment. It's just that they've always been protective of that kind of stuff (The wiki had voice clips once upon a time) and now they're seemingly even more so.Maybe have the translation be in a document outside the game? Or edit it in a video. LW's never had a problem with those, unlike the "Analysis and modification of game data" as their TOS so aptly puts it.
>>1638095I wonder if there is a Housamo discord or something I could share them, at least then they wouldn't be able to easily find something like that through searching google or the wikiHopefully I can get it to work, I just want to experience the Tadatomo date quest for myself, a video on youtube is just not the same
>>1635194>>1635242Thanks for confirming that for me I now know that it's consistent and not google translate ramping things up to 11 for no reason.Now I have finished Chapter 3 and Valentine Panic and I thought Chapter 3 was going to be like Chapter 2. Mostly quick 2 minute reads with the last few sections being 10 minutes oh I was wrong. They throw a fair bit at you about how things work in the App and other stuff and I'm trying to piece things together with my spotty memories of future chapters. Specifically about "That Chapter" since a certain stabby boy was in Chapter 3 but I could be misremembering things about "That Chapter" or be completely off the mark entirely. Also Leib was mentioned or should I say Rave seems they didn't change his name for that one line which I found funny. As for Valentine Panic I enjoyed it even if it dragged on mainly because I never did the event so I had to do all the fights in between sections. There's more instances of characters having no memory of meeting us I know why but I have a thought/question about that. A certain detective said something that caught my attention that may or may not be important. While not important the use of sus in something before 2020 made me do a double take. Also I've noticed that they have characters in events that will be in the next Main Story chapter like the New Years event had some of the Berserkers and Valentine Panic had Gabriel and Hati from the Missionaries. Also yesterday I maxed out all the current playable versions of my top three favorite characters aside from their Artifact Level which will never happen. I feel accomplished but now I don't know who to start working on next>>1638131>a video on youtube is just not the sameI understand the feeling reading/experiencing events and quests outside of the game takes me out of it. That's why I don't mind waiting for official translations even if they so take a while. Also cute art it's nice to see your work and progress keep it up!
>>1638199>Also cute art it's nice to see your work and progress keep it up!Thanks anon!
>>1638199>I'm trying to piece things together with my spotty memories of future chapters. Specifically about "That Chapter" since a certain stabby boy was in Chapter 3Stabby boy does pop up a lot, huh. I don't remember enough of earlier chapters to tell how much of it was foreshadowing, unfortunately.Would be nice to have some kind of summary function for that.>There's more instances of characters having no memory of meeting us I know why but I have a thought/question about that. A certain detective said something that caught my attention that may or may not be important.What would that be? Or is it something you'd rather find out yourself while reading?>Also I've noticed that they have characters in events that will be in the next Main Story chapterMakes me think. It's a kinda odd that the MC can sometimes acknowledge meeting characters from events in MQs, but in this case they don't recognize you from MQs in an event. Somehow feels less intentional than some stuff you read in future events even though it could be explained in the same way.
>>1638199Another Shennong simp
>>1638277Kirito was helping Oniwaka in baiting players like Kengo. Kirito was paid by Snow for something It's not mentioned what for maybe it's revealed later like in Chapter 7 or 8. But the fact he was in the Chapter that reveals the Wisemen were able to create smaller enclosed versions of a Battle Zone and later on in the chapter an Exception (Thor) couldn't leave the enclosed space and could not get into Tokyo immediately unlike Yog-Sothoth who was immediately in Tokyo in Chapter 2. Maybe it's foreshadowing what happens in Chapter 8 which was what I was referring to as "That Chapter" but again I don't remember the exact details.>What would that be? You actually talk about it in the last part of your post. I know about the time loops but I was wondering how we/MC remember stuff between events and the Main Story because from what I remember events are things that happen in other loops. I remember that there are World Representives and World Pillars and one of them has memories of past loops. But I can't remember which one can do that or anything else about either of them really. Maybe that has something to do our memories but I'm just guessing. As for the other thing in Valentine Panic Nomad says he once spent almost 6 months adrift in a metal coffin I thought that was very specific yet cryptic. Also Nomad actually does remember us possibly from Chapter 3 but Kyuma doesn't remember us at all from New years. Maybe Chapter 3 and VP are in the "Canon" loop, or in another loop some other event happens before VP and he knows us from that, or maybe I'm over thinking things.>Or is it something you'd rather find out yourself while reading?Any questions or things that are posed like questions I say during my thoughts/theory ramblings are rhetorical. I would like to remember/find things out on my own as I read. But if I have actual questions I will make it known that I am looking for answers.
>>1638722
>>1638722Yes I will admit Shennong has been a source a brain rot ever since 2019 when I seen a picture of him on Twitter as a cardboard standee at a convention Lifewonders had a booth at. I don't remember if it was Kemoket, Infurnity, or some other convention. >>1638971Thank god I actually used the spoiler tags correctly I never used them before. Also the Housamo Popularity poll on the skill database website and the Popularity poll on Twitter both posted their results within the past few days if anyone is interested I can tell the results of the Twitter poll for those who don't use Twitter.
>>1638980>Twitter poll excludes about 1/10th of the entire roster because it's lolis and shotasFake ass results>Shennong Tindalos Horkeu Kamui top 3The trio of basic ass muscle furry, wow, who could have guessed!
>>1638971>I remember that there are World Representives and World Pillars and one of them has memories of past loops. But I can't remember which one can do that or anything else about either of them really.IIRC the Pillars are what allows memories to carry over between loops, but most World Representatives have an artifact that functions as a Pillar. Most of them are also capable of restoring or manipulating past memories in some way.
>Story discussionLove to see it.
forget all what you learned it's time for WORLD DRAGON WALLS and shit!
>>1638971Ah, you didn't have to but thank you for the refresher! It is interesting how much they play around with the workings of the App even at this point. I was convinced some characters had less going on for them since I forgot so much of the story.>Nomad says he once spent almost 6 months adrift in a metal coffinThat does sound very specific. I never read the book he's supposed to be based on, so I'm not sure if it's just a reference to that or something more.>or maybe I'm over thinking things.lol I know that feelingBeing invested in the plot is both a blessing and a curse sometimes.>>1638980Oh yeah! Congrats on red texting your faves!I imagine you must be feeling pretty good about those poll results.>>1639119LW could keep the game running forever if they keep pulling this kind of thing.Fuck it, let's go for a Book 4.
Merry Christmas everyone. Wishing you all luck with pulling your husbandos or favorite AR's>>1638975kek. I now want to see a version of this with Tadatomo
Happy Summon Day Maria! And also late Happy Summon Day Wakan Tanka I accidently forgot his was on the 12th!>>1639062I'm assuming you're clarifying or explaining about what you quoted from me. While I do appreciate it I haven't looked at the second part because I don't to be spoiled or reminded of things. I would like to see things when they happen in game. I'm sorry if this sounds rude it's not my intention.>>1639110I'm glad to know others here are enjoying my thoughts and ramblings or at least tolerating them.>>1639439>I'm not sure if it's just a reference to that or something more.Spoilers for the sci-fi novel The Stars My DestinationI looked into it and Nomad is literally a walking reference. The main character Gully Foyle is trapped in a space ship called Nomad for 6 months. He sees a ship thinking he's going to be saved but wasn't. So in a vow of vengeance he managed to survive and gets taken into a cult where they tattoo a tiger mask on his face. Also Nomad's SA is a two part reference. In the book Jaunting is an ability where people can teleport and Gully Foyle sees visions of himself on fire. So that explains where they came up with what his SA does and why his clothes burn off when he uses it.>must be feeling pretty good about those poll results.I mean yeah seeing my favorites place high is a nice feeling. Even if Takemaru didn't break top 50 like last year in the Twitter poll. But I will admit seeing Wakan Tanka and Shennong place so high on both polls kind of makes be feel bad that I like them even if in the end they're just silly popularity polls.Also I'm impressed with the database survey seeing all the data they collected from players and reading their feedback>keep the game running foreverI wouldn't be surprised if Lifewonders makes Housamo their Puzzle and Dragons/Granblue Fantasy.>>1639557>Merry Christmas everyoneMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and everyone else here!
>>1639824>I would like to see things when they happen in game. I'm sorry if this sounds rude it's not my intention.Nah that's cool, it's in spoiler tags for a reason.
>>1639824>Gully Foyle sees visions of himself on fire.Oh, I wasn't aware of that. That's grim. I've heard the book supposedly has a positive ending though so here's hoping Nomad doesn't end up burning himself alive over revenge like he seems so hellbent on doing.I like that they tied these aspects of the source material, time travel and acceleration all together. Probably my favorite aspect of how they design characters is when they manage to make them both faithful and unique enough to stand on their own at the same time.>Also I'm impressed with the database surveyRight? There's some good suggestions in there too.The game could be improved a lot if LW took some notes from it. Especially since the survey was obviously structured in way that would benefit them as well.
>Yoshito's Special Quest in the event paints him as an absolute nutjob calling the MC "God" among other cute things and coming to terms with his feelings for you while having an existential crisis about itOh Yoshito... you are the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for.Merry Christmas everyone :)
