3 years strong
I only had one spark and the only UR I got while rolling was Fes Otsuki.Only managed Ellen. I'm not seeing that duo SP anytime soon.
During the stream merch stuff, they said the card packs contained codes for ingame stuff that wouldn't work for "overseas versions."Thought that was a weird disclaimer to have, but then looked it up and realized that the game had also released in Chinese.
>>1868800I vaguely recall a Taiwanese release.
I think I am beginning to like her.
Should I have rolled Schnee's outfit?Was skindentation always this prominent in the game or is it from these new outfits?
>>1868921I think I first noticed a bit on China Nacht's bikini bottoms, but it wasn't a lot so I thought it was just something about the textures.
Being below spark amount feels bad, bros.I can only hope a bunch of outfits not to my taste are next. Plus Utae is probably not up for rotation anytime soon.
Got them all with 310 rolls.Funny that Hiroi came out multiple times despite being the least desirable
>>1868985It was a rough year with 3 collabs, 2 of them I rolled all four girls in.That being said, I'm not the biggest fan of the outfits not having a lot of color to them. It's the hairstyles that have me jealous.
The only ULT boss fight I couldn't beat was Wind.Damn buff removal and SP spam.
Dancing with your robots.
>>1869016I always love her goofy smile.
>>1869016At least the attacks are randomized and not a set pattern. All you really need is to cap def down and have a crit rate buff on hand for consistency, then the rest can be whatever.I had a much harder time getting lucky with Himuka because of Minami removing stat downs, and the absurd amount of def debuff she inflicts causes their damage to skyrocket and push you below 50% long before you run out of shield.
Anime when?
>>1869243I'm sorely lacking good defensive moon girls. I'm still coasting on Fes Nacht and Eines back when they came out.Himuka took me a single attempt because I threw in swimsuit Anri in with Asuka and Yumi.
>>1869367SSR Yuno is actually pretty clutch, especially if you've pulled enough dupes to max potential. You might have better luck with cop Yuri or sailor Tomo if you have them and haven't tried yet.
>>1869375Damn, Yuno and Yuri actually did it.
>>1869356Let's hope for anthology manga first.
>>1869470I'm keeping an eye out. Knowing my luck the moment I stop thinking about it, it will appear and nobody will be seeding it and will have been out for 3 months.
Finally here!
I wish I could have gone.
>>1870636Muru's underboob sweat
>>1870698Underboob is a gift from god.
The guy uploading all the images to the boorus missed the new workout memory for Kazami.
60fps when
>>1873031If it keeps going on another 3 years maybe they will make a sequel game?
what translator app should I use for this?
and how is my first roll? I don't know that im committed enough to reroll
>>1870636I'd be hitting that booth up the most.
>>1873598I like Helly, but her launch UR is not that great for starters. You'd be better off getting an attacker with crit rate like Yume, Iruka, or Selena. If you plan on sticking around, Anri is meta in certain cases.More importantly, after finishing your tutorial rerolls, you should make sure to get whoever you want out of the current normal banners.
>>1873598Swimsuit Anri has been absolutely clutch for me across a lot of off-element fights.Beyond that, feel free to play favorites at this point.
>>1873915>I like HellyAs do I. You have great taste.
>>1873976:3
>>1873999Trips for Helly.
We haven't had a Helly banner in like 9 months.
>>1874576We should pray to the Dolwave gods and hope it happens.
I like Helly's cat mouth but I think she ends up looking better in art than in her 3D model.I'm hoping for Yuri to get a lewd outfit.
>>1874599The art to model transition is a bit different. 2D art can just do things the 3D model can't and the 3D model has to be functional. There is that and the fact Dolphin Wave is like PS2 era graphics really. I wonder what they could do if they had a bigger budget and a different engine? Oh well, I too wish for more outfits.
>>1874701What would PS3 era graphics look like? Surely DW models are a bit better than something out of Compile Heart.Maybe a collab with Atelier will have Gust consider a real DW game.
>>1868754Wow cute girls How's the gameplay?
>>1874773it's turn-based rpg
>>1874773Simple turn-based card picker.Perhaps one could say the dress up and diorama modes are the real meat of the game.
>>1874765>PS3Absolutely beautiful, however the game would be forever locked to the PS3 due to porting issues. They should do it the old fashioned way and start from the PC and work their way down. I dunno, we will see in due time.
>>1874799I'm stand by my opinion that Dolphin Wave should just be diorama mode and the jet battles be secondary.
>>1874802I never played games like Venus Vacation, how do they give out rewards for games like that?
>>1874805It's the same as here. You farm the event to exchange for poses in the event shop. The difference is VV makes you give poses to each girl, whereas DW unlocks the pose for everyone.VV also does not let you move girls around in a scene, so there's a constant issue with girls just being way too far apart to even frame.
https://x.com/dolphin_HPG/status/1983821179820650680
>>1874825Dolphin Wave might be ahead of it's time then. We should capitalize on this. Make poses for everybody, keep interchangeable outfits and hair, and move models in any way.
>>1874701An anime would also look different as well. Fans would just have to take in stride and like it all.
>>1875013>a new classI'm scared.Eines outfit is cute while Amadea's ponytail is pretty cool. Not sure if I have anything left to roll them though.
>>1875054IIRC people want open mouthed expressions for diorama.
>>1875061We have to maintain this level of animation for two 12 episode runs and an OVA. True fans have to hold out for BD releases.
An anime would be nice
I'm not sure if I have faith in animated project. Making 30 second long PVs look super clean is one thing but the nature of DW involving high-speed races would just turn its obligatory action sequences into 3DCG clusterfucks.Gacha-based anime that are focused on fanservice rarely get the favorable end of the adaptation stick. Far bigger franchises have tried and failed spectacularly.
>>1875054DW is good for dress up, but the diorama is lacking in terms of freedom and core functionality. I'm not expecting Koikatsu levels of animation or full joint control, but I sometimes play Detariki and the you can do a lot more with the poser there.>>1875383You could go the Ragnastrike Angels route of a season of 12 episodes of 30 second ads...
>>1875424How about a series of OVAs? 6 or more episodes at 30 minutes a piece have been done with other series. While we are at it, I would like one anon's advice and have a manga too. Of course drawn by our beloved artist. Example, iM@S doujins.
>>1875433I think OVAs would make more sense, even if they'll definitely get less traction than an anime.I'm not really sure if there's a comfortable middle-ground for selling how cute the girls are to advertise the game and the inevitably awkward 3DCG action sequences.
Summarize the new mode
>>187565520 turns to fight through 10 rounds of enemies shooting at you. Bosses at wave 4, 7, and 10.Your score is determined by the difficulty you select, with bonus multipliers depending on how many leftover turns and hp you have. Bring 2~4 healing memories. If you do not make it through the entirety of the 10 waves, you won't receive a score and won't use up an attempt.Don't worry about correct guns or break; all enemies have 99 shield, and don't do much shield damage in return.Contrary to the usual strategies, def debuff is not super strong here since enemy debuffs don't carry over. Focus on attack buffs, defense buffs, and maintaining crit rate throughout 10 turns.If you did not roll for Eines and Amadea, you can still get a decent def buff if you have commander Kana and do the training quest.Be sure to have a dolphin to cleanse stat downs like cow Yume or swimsuit Tsugumi.After you beat Ultimate level 15, you unlock Impossible levels 16-25. Boss waves get an absurd jump in damage starting from 16 and I don't think it's feasible if you didn't whale the meta.Also, don't forget to do the new daily tournament difficulty. There's new mats and there should be a new shop tab for it when the month rolls over.
>>1875834No Kana on me but I only vaguely remember a Fes Otsuki having defense ups.But those defense debuff cleanses sound more useful.I don't think I have a lot of girls to score too highly in this mode.
>>1875891I wouldn't give the def buffs too much thought unless it's the permanent kind. Buffs will get cycled out quickly since you don't get extra break turns. Kana gives +40% def buffs and they stack up to 5 times. Welfare Kohari also has small permanent ones, but I wouldn't count on it if the lower damage costs extra turns to kill enemies.
>>1875834>cow YumeFor a second there I thougt you were making fun of her... then I realized she has a cow bikini.
>>1875949Mooooo~
Cute bot
>>1878505I think Eines is cuter.
Maybe I DO need to roll for Schnee's outfit
>>1879249still a few more days to check the next big thing before it goes away
>>1879249More outfits is always welcomed.
I would think jeans would be really uncomfortable to move in like this?
>>1879294Veena isn't human and Selena is autistic so maybe it only works because it's them.
>>1879326>Veena isn't humanI-i-is she an alien from planet Zondar?
You know you would let her love on you.
>>1879910If other dolphins were available, I wouldn't.
>>1879326I don't pay attention to the story, but Veena always struck me as one of those characters with mental illness stemming from a history of abuse as a child.
i hate that this game is region lock
>>1880002This game isn't that serious.
>>1880320But imagine how convenient it is for the costume designers to just make any wild design they want.
>>1880460I still worry about nonsensical app store restrictions. Let's not forget about that one memory with the wet shirts that was uncensored on DMM but not mobile.
>>1880493Yeah that made so little sense. We have all this skin exposure but wet shirts was too risque?
>>1880514It is a mystery. Maybe they have some stupid rules about distinctions between underwear and swimsuits.
>>1880514>>1880688And watch, when an anime is released, there will be nudity. I bet it so since Senran Kagura (same company) had it and KJG (same premise) had it too.
>>1879982You can't resist>>1880002But she love bombs people. She might be the abuser?
Even science is afraid of love.
>>1880746Chibis shouldn't be this sexual
>>1880688That's the dumber part, they're wearing their swimsuits underneath. It's their canonical UR swimsuits.>>1880738Well yeah, they better show the inside of those changing rooms/locker rooms
>>1880771I don't know how it's even possible to be cute AND sexy at the same time?
>>1880777>Cool... Cool...What a dork.
I didn't think they'd collab with their own TCG.
>>1881081I hope the cards look good like this. I'll lbe happy when I get my decks.
Depending on how the outfit looks in-game, I might drop money for it.Because the render is really nice.
>>1880990She's a cute dork.
>>1881081
>>1868754Dunno anything about this game, but the girls are cute.Would fap.
>>1881781>WouldThe artist made hentai material for years. "Will" is a better word. I bet when Dolphin Wave goes out the artist will dump his NG collection.
>>1881904I think I'm going to miss out on Schnee's hairstyle over her outfit.How does it look on Utae?
>>1881913
>>1881918Cute but not tempting enough for me to roll.Man, I need some LONG twintails. Wonder if I'll have to hope for an alt hairstyle from an existing girl or wait for a new team.
>>1868754does this have a global/EN version?is it a good time to start playing this now?
>>1881921>does this have a global/EN version?No>>1881921You missed out on some free gems because of 3rd anniversary missions but if the girls look cute to you then the 2nd best time to start would be now just to accrue gems and save up sparks.
Is Dolphin Wave out on PS1 yet?
Really interesting.
>>1882040Will they be bigger next year?
>>1882089Depends how loose the uniforms get around the chest.
>>1881921One of the banners goes away in a few hours in case you want to try rerolling for it. This next update adds a paywalled banner, so your options might be limited for the next 10 days.
>>1882118They need to be unbound.
>>1882231A happy mother and daughter.
>>1882232Eines is getting the Ritz treatment and seems to have been "upgraded".
Iruka's skirt is an accessory.Someone post her without it
Diabolical
>>1882479>>1882477Noice.
I dare not change Ikaruga's himecut but maybe I could have rolled for Hiori's hairstyle.
Cute
>>1882807>>1882802Got a link to download the video?
>>1882812Sorry I do not. I used to be able to dl the videos straight from youtube until they changed the format. I guess I will have to wait it's uploaded elsewhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU-jfFb6V20
>>1882815>dl the videos straight from youtubeUse yt-dlp.
I can fix her.
>>1882219The Kazami uniforms do some serious binding. It makes Mei and Hiori look small.
>>1883084We need to talk to Kazami Sea Tec about their choices in outfit design.
This would be a better outfit for Kazami. Just make it a reverse outfit.
I wish this uniform stuck for Kirishima instead of the archer one. This feels like a natural evolution.
>>1883110Same.
>>1883110But in reality, Kirishima's best uniform was this one.So where the fuck is Utae's modified uniform.
>>1881806I wonder if he still has a thing for Meguru?
>>1883365Wonder if the Kirishima uniform's inherent double-bikini nature was inspired by Meguru's swimsuit.
>>1883374Hope so. He really liked her, so much he gave her extra works and dedicated chapters.
tfw taking screenshots and they blink at perfect timing
>>1883785Genius
>>1883785
>App-pay one-time 1500 yen = 1500 gems promo is actually one-timeFuckI thought it was like other game where the promo is recurring
So, how much money have you spent on this game? Be honest now.
>>1883950I paid for a big gem pack once close to the very start and got five paid outfits.So about $120
>>18839505 paid SSRs, so that's like 15000jpy of pose packs and the monthly ticket packs. Also one or two outfit packs that don't have playables in there.
We need more ninjas.
This collab.
>>1885114So more azur lane race queens?
>>1885131>Lots of race queensAnon, why do you do this to me?
Finally back to at least one spark.
I can't resist...
>>1886062I'll probably end up caving by the end too.
>>1886069>>1885956The hips look so smooth.
>>1886075You will never get to feel them with your face.
>dungeonc'mon bikini armorc'mon skeleton hand-bra demon lord
>>1886637Elves, pirates, sword maidens?
>>1886637Those blunt ends are telling me it's Selena
>>1886639I thought we already had a pirate Yuri and a sword Anri.Dunno what they would do with an elf ear accessory. They really only need 2 colors.
>>1886637
>>1886920I might be safe.I never cared for bikini armor but bikini fighter does seem pretty neat.
Mashio's outfit almost looks like a two-piece version of Anri's uniform.Hmmmm
>>1886920potentially abusable event reward diorama pose
>>1887062Let's hope that high-kick pose is unlockable
>>1887076>>1887062Who would you use it on first though?
>>1887183someone with a long skirt/dress to see how goofy jank and stretchy the physics getprobably ellen
>>1886920Just finished reading dolphin stories to spark Eines, it’s extremely over for me. I hope they’re not that good even if I really like TomoAlso, I care a lot more for Tsugmi and Muru after reading theirs, these street girls are too cute
>>1887246Finished all the Total Battle? They haven't been adding much permanent challenge content for a while now. I guess there's also the event archive, but it's sparse in terms of gems.
>>1887062>>1887076no such luck it seems
>>1887352All done, makes me wonder when they’re planning to add stages for the other teams
>>1886639Cowbo
>>1887517I guess it was too good to give away for free. Gotta have something to put into the paid pose packs.
>>1887246>>1887962
bikini armorbut with a gun
I can't say I've ever regularly seen ass-fangs from this angle. Interesting.
Are we ready for Christmas?
>>1889159How much lewder can Christmas get than just ribbons?
>>1889359Bows on the hot spots and nothing else. Mistletoe on the manko.
>>1889159maybeI was on the wagon since DxD, threw one spark for Mashio and Tomo, and now barely have 200 rolls left.
>>1889159Give me something good.
Oh right, it's almost time for the card game collab to end.I should buy Iruka's outfit
>>1891905Hurry!
HIPS
Christmas event incoming
Jesus christ Yuno, close your legs
>>1892797No-pan queen.
https://x.com/stoneriver_ilst/status/1993831218417463414finally endgame content designed exclusively for me
>>1892880Damn, that's a lot of artists
Squatting poses for diorama when
What kind of present did Yuno give you exactly?
>>1892942probably the usual collar and chains
I want Yuno but I'll have to play it safe and wait to see what's coming after her.
>>1893138>Yuno>SafeYour life is in danger.
200 rolls and didn't get either. Sparked Muru and called it a day with only ~20 left.Got 3 off banner URs on the way. At least I've always wanted poll Shion for that fancy bag.
I like the color alts for Yuno but I'll have to wait it out.
>don't have xmas Yuno>do less damage with Muru's unison sp with other Yunos than just playing old wind pairings or using freeze insteadDamn, so much for trying to be clever. At least they have the animations in the theater now.
JPs are wary about this rate-up because they did a collab event last year around this time.
Working out with dolphins.
>>1895153Why are they picking on Ellen? Is it because she is flat?
>>1895225She's the most bully-able person on the island. Her being flat is just a helpful extra.
recent nikke stuff got me thinkin'why don't we have a bottom with pantyhose and removable skirt yet
>>1896148Nikke collab when?
>>1896701Don't have that many outfits I care from it because they're unironically not so revealing so I welcome it only so I can safely skip an event and continue to save.
>>1895253She can't compete.
Iruka and Toki this time.
>>1897896Does Iruka get to wear Toki's outfit?Please say yes.
>>1898211She'll get a new promo outfit like the previous comiket promo pieces
>>1898477Hiori's O-ring is fighting for its life.
>>1898479I don't get how it works without nipple tape or glue. Same thing with that one Amadea outfit. The instant she bends backwards at all, the straps will straighten out and pull towards the center of her chest.
>>1898479>>1898484Well if she keeps growing, the clothes structural integrity will be compromised.
We need wardrobe malfunctions
Kazami Sea Tec tries to recruit Coach.
>>1899001Hiori will only need to put in slightly more effort to tear me away from Utae.
Just a couple more days until I can decide whether or roll for Christmas Yuno
>>1898477Damn it HPG, you had one job. Now they just look goofy.
Yes but when do we get a Dolphin Wave RPG?
>>1900722They've got a lot more classes to cover before that.
>>1900749MF'er!
>>1900459Ah man, now I want fundoshi outfits.
>>1900840Surely Tsugumi isn't so heartless to turn Phenio away.
>>1900851Make her wear the Phenio outfit.
No collab but the holidays aren't over.
Man I don't really like rush battle. I hope it doesn't come down to having the one dolphin they decide to give a training quest buff if you didn't roll the banner again.
>Mei and Kohari as a pair againCute, but I think Yuno's outfit is still better. Guess I'm rolling now.
I only have ~100 rollsdon't do this to me
I think this is also the first time we're seeing Ellen (dog) in a memory.
>>1901097I like the short of Ellen chasing Ellen.
>>1901169Even the dog mogs the ojou.
There's gotta be a way to get rid of the sheer on Kohari without dunking it into the water, but I'm not enough of a diorama wizard to figure it out.
