>>1944824Why are they doing the Avengers thing?
>>1944831Why not? Maybe that's how all of them look while they're waiting to be deployed. Monmusu Assemble!
AI translation guidehttps://pastebin.com/ePz6bQBSI've made this, if anyone could check it and see if its actually works then it'd be nice.
>>1944877Were you able to unfuck the text or get any text hooker like Texttractor or SugoiTranslator to show the text on a floating window? It's kind of unusable in it's current state due to the atrociously bad wordwrap.
>>1944905No, not yet. Reading the story will have to wait, its only for playing the game which is the main draw for me.
>>1944913Isn't it the other way around? It's super easy to play the game and memorize the UI without a translation but the one thing you'd need a TL patch for is reading the story or what the characters say.
>>1944922The UI is one thing but the character pages with their skills are most important to me, without that I'd be spending forever looking each one up over and over until I've memorized them.
>>1944938>The UI is one thing but the character pages with their skills are most important to meYou'd just use a wiki, it's what I do with other Japanese games always. It's what I've always done with stuff like TSK or BA even.Honestly you get so used to it that it's easy to forget the game is in Japanese because eventually you know the entire UI and game by heart and habit.The real problem where you can't just wiki everything is story since you can only read that in game for the full experience and that's where a patch would come in handy.
>>1944947>>1944938>>1944913>>1944922I know it's not the same thing as an in-game patch, but I've translated the prologue and Chapters 1-5 (the Wraithon Arc) and tried to put in some effort to cleaning up some of the dialogue so it's more accurate, and while I know I can't guarantee that it's gonna be perfect I'd be willing to just give them all another look over to see if I catch anything else and then dump all of them into pastebins if there's any anons here who just want to at least read the story and know what they're saying there. I'd probably try to better organize them if I did this though so it's more easily to separate the scenes in each chapter.I'm currently making my way through translating Chapter 6 this way, but I've only translated up to Logica's game show and the cavalcade of comedy that whole thing was.
>>1945022I would like to read it so any pastebins would be appreciated. No need to tidy it up too much either.
>all your tokens are now unicornshey hey, isn't this some kind of population crisis?!
Don't worry about it. It's just Year of the Horse.
>>1945302it would've been neat if we'd gotten a horse girl centric event for the new years thing. maybe one of the horses will get an alt at least.....this is pretty ridiculous though lmao
>>1944829i wish i could be that cozy
>>1945282Is it gay if the horns touch?
>>1945563as long as you say 'no yuri', it's not gay
Chocolate girls
>>1945316But they did do a horse girl for new years.The Umamusume kind though
>>1946884I know Kirin got an alt and she 'kinda' counts, I just meant I wish the event had been centered specifically on horse-girls for the new years, rather than just also having one horse. There's a year of the dog, so that event would've made a lot more sense if they had saved the idea for a year of the dog.Which would've been.....well, quite a while away I guess maybe they just really liked the idea and couldn't think of anything to do with horses.>>1946437Oh, neat, so Ticka and Vorpal showing up was actually hinting towards the valentine's event, that's pretty cool. Glad the Gargoyle Girl finally got something too.
>someone drew fan art of the confident heroine turning into a monster girlVIVI HIRE THIS SHOTA
Move aside Kirin. It's year of the boar now.https://youtu.be/ZXZsGnnJfEc?si=b0S1JCA_qwff3NxE
>>1948798You will never convince me that this wasn’t caused by a typo given the sheer level of bugginess and errors that keep cropping up in this game these days
>>1948844If you think about it really hard it would be lore accurate to have all these bugs pop up because the updates and changes were done by Vivi.
>>1948844What's specifically happening here is that when Difnilla is retreated, her flame patch DoT calls for enemy HP instead of her attack value. This is likely caused by not correctly placing the call value function before the attack is executed. Rather than a typo, it's caused by the code being in the wrong order. The actual worst case scenario here is the game outright crashing if it can't find the value it's looking for, so it could've been worse. If you're the guy who thought the initial 200% value was a typo, the values shown in a unit's textboxes have no direct relation to the actual code implemented. As in they must be typed and put in separately. Since they matched on inception, there is very little chance of a typo causing it to be inflated. There might theoretically be a miscommunication if the person who decides the numbers made a typo when giving the unit blueprint to the person who codes the units in however.
>>1949397they keep making typos between both the description value AND the actual code, hell we even just had another example this collab because the dragon girl's not supposed to have a fixed attack speed buff and it's getting changed to the multiplicative one it was intended to be. Either one of them got into a miscommunication and thought it was supposed to be 200 and not 20, or they intended to add 20 but made it 200 by mistake since an extra 0 is rather innocuous compared to other kinds of typos despite how much of a difference it makes. I could very easily believe they put that extra zero in both of those on accident and just never caught it. I think they don't even bother to check or test anything anymore. It would explain a lot.And yes I first saw that explanation from the game's oversea players on the wiki, and I just think it makes the most amount of sense.>her flame patch DoT calls for enemy HP instead of her attack valuethis is so stupid lmao how does this even fuckin happenwould've rather had the game crash so they'd get forced to at least fix some of this shit, but they're just too damn busy with their domino-checkers chinese gambling game
>>1948918i knew it, it's all her fault!
>>1949397For some reason it requires the enemy to enter their attack animation first and then have her retreat for the bug to occur
It's not her fault that all she could afford was a roll of dutch tape!
where's the money going, vivi?
>>1949540to what everyone truly wants....
>>1948304AIEEEE NO ROTTY DON’T LOOK
>>1949467There's likely an array that contains the stat values somewhere and the enemy calling its attack values bumps its HP value to where Difnilla's attack value was in memory. That's a more complex bug.
>Fixes Mahamut's attack speed buff>As a result breaks everyone else's attack speed buffs to stack like Mahamut's before fixlol
>>1950831I guess the Japanese are getting into the trend of AI coding stuff too
Oh nooooo! Contact with KuruSta is causing the monmusus to awaken to Celestial power. That world is absolutely doomed if they realize it...
>>1950831Wait...if everyone else's attack speed buff is stacking how do we know her attack speed buff is fixed?
>>1950831>>1950843>>1950863hoo boy........it's AI hours, isn't itI'm not one for doom posting but it would definitely explain what's going on at this point
The new TD is most likely made by the same team that codes Aigis, Monmusu, and Castle so the team doesn't have enough people and it appears the decision was to sacc Monmusu. Would explain all the issues in the past year.Aigis did a big one with their hero banner and did a huge compensation.
>>1950881That's genuinely sad if that's truly the reason behind it, and I think that's undoubtedly a very very likely explanation for what's really been going on. I sincerely believe that MMTD's a better and more fun game than Aigis (which makes sense to me now having played both, since it seems to have built on and improved off of it, hell TD's even somehow harder than Aigis is), but it's also far younger than it is and Aigis is their main moneymaker. If they're throwing the island under the bus for that cthulhu game and it ends up getting completely fucked over as a result it'd honestly piss me off quite a bit.why does it feel like this always happens........I've only ever played two 'gacha' style mobile games, both times turned out to be around their third year of life, and both times that's also the year where things started going awry for them. I just hope this doesn't end the same way as Dragalia Lost did.
>Playing new event>Suddenly every single girl deployed slows down to a crawl while the enemies continue to move fast>The girls deployed can barely attack>to the point that some of the bees just move out of their range entirely before they can even finish their attack animations, causing it to cancel/loop, and make them just never attack at all>go back and check the bees>bees make no mention of anything, they just poison>the level description doesn't say anything about such a drastic molasses level attack speed reduction; it simply says enemy attack stats are buffed>go back in>place Okyuu>'It'sa Crazy Octopus Party!'>Place Lucretia>She immediately fucking cripples the entire team>Move Lucretia away so no one else is in her radius>All allied Monster Girls suddenly go back to normal attack speed>Move her back>They slow down again>Whatever the fuck the Developers did has caused Lucretia to become completely fucking bricked>She's now actively SLOWING the teamGODDAMMITFIX YOUR GAME VIVI OR SO HELP ME
ok admittedly the fact the gimmick stacks with Aqua's and makes her become three times bigger is kinda funny but I'm still pretty displeased, and also pretty baffled as to how they've fucked their entire system up this badly.In a similarly inexplicable way when I tried using the Lumyuda (the alien cat girl with the poison radius) for one level, she was suddenly moving significantly moree slowly even without Lucretia there, and I realized one of her awakening bonuses is an increase to her attack speed. When I reset all of her awakening bonuses to remove it and then used her in another level as a test, removing that one bonus caused her to behave normally again. Aqua is also supposed to slow down when she attacks while giant, and while I think she's still "slower" than usual, the decrease in her attack speed is much more minor now when prior there was definitely a noticeable pause. But, I cannot tell if SS!Okyuu has any changes to her when I've tried her out, and I don't think the Idol Beastgod's skill that gives the attack speed boost feels much different either.I really don't know what they did, but at the minimum it feels like everything that had a 'fixed' speed boost value has been completely fucked up.
I tested Nazuna as well since her signature weapon also gives her a minor attack speed buff, and yeah, Nazuna is clearly slowed down now instead of sped up due to what they did. And putting Lucretia there just exaggerates the slowdown even more. I have no idea how many girls are effected by this but I would wager every single girl who has a flat attack speed buff for themselves in some capacity was fucked by whatever they did.
Pink haired loli with psycho eyes looks peak
>>1951007huh, never really saw her as one in the original outfit but i can kinda see it in this one
I messed around with XUnity some more today. Reading the documentation this time, I noticed that it has a TranslationAggregator hotkey>ALT + 1: Toggle Translation Aggregator UI.This hotkey should bring up a window that has the translation in it which in theory should perfectly solve the issue MTD has which is of text cutting off and not being able to be fully displayed.Except, it doesn't work. I can't tell if it's a problem with my configuration, if it's a problem with my Bepinex configuration, if it's a problem with my plugin or if it's just a game issue but the bottom line is that it doesn't work for me.If anyone can find how to enable this or make it work then a translation should be very possible since the translation would be on it's own window and not subject to MTD's engine limitations so sharing my experience from today here in hopes someone smarter than me can figure out a solution or do something useful with it.

>catching up to Tikka, we ask if she knows of any chocolate leaves>are you talking about Chocoleaf?>that's a surprisingly straightforward name, however even Vivi has never heard of it>Tikka explains it's from the mirror world, also she has to hurry as she's going to be late>when Yuil asks for what, Vivi claims she's just pretending most of the time as there isn't anything>monsters>blocking Tikka after we deal with the monsters, we ask about the Chocoleaf>they're plants that grow in the mirror world>while they look unremarkable, if you boil and melt them, they turn to chocolate>Yuil demands some from Tikka>how rude, and I don't have any in the first place>Yuil claims a liar, a she can smell the chocolate on her, give it!>Yuil then turns to stone surprising Tikka>Vivi explains to Tikka that Yuil does that reflexively when she gets embarrassed>you must've been the cause>Vivi then pressures Tikka into working together as she surmises she's also probably trying to make chocolate>as Tikka side glances at MC, Vivi knows she's got her on the hook>if we work together, maybe there will be a chance?>or is it you doubt me, Tikka?>t-there's no way!>assertive towards those below her, humble towards those above her, reading Tikka's psychology of wanting to be led by those in power, Vivi took control of her mercilessly>with that, she joins the party and leads us to the Chocoleaf>...then we remember the petrified Yuil and come back to get her

>>1944829Important Notice: I realized I messed this up on accident and forgot a " at the end of the sentence. It should be-document.cookie="ckcy_remedied_check=ec_mrnhbtk; expires=Sat, 24 May 2027 02:51:01 UTC; domain=.dmm.co.jp; path=/"-and then it will work fine. My apologies, but I wanted to correct this once I realized the error just in case any other anons ITT want/need to use this.I found the full resolution version of that picture too, so I'll pair them together.
>the day they released an update that broke their game was also the same day that they added the dumpstor event to the archiveit's like poetrytruly she is the demon that brings ruin to the world......
>>1950881why would they even make a fourth game if they can't keep their shit straight with three of them?
>>1951895She was only trying to protect us
>>1951904Because they're crunching on a new game and not just small updates. It should be back to normal once the new game is released and the player base settles.
What are the bear tickets for? I know they say to hold on to them but I don't know why
>>1951949i can't even use half my preferred team of girls because of their flat attack speed buffs, and i either have to go through and un-awaken them to get rid of it or just bench them because it's baked into them like from a trait or weapon. and certain enemies now just cause characters to become completely frozen and incapable of moving or attacking at all. i dont have to deal with the harpy queen problem at least, because i don't have her, but this shit's just still inexcusable. apparently some players have been able to abuse the new mechanics to also just cheese everything with certain girls as well due to the multiplication getting fucked, but i don't have those characters. hell the events aren't even worth it, they didn't even bother making the collab have a girl to get and they cut down on the stories a lot. and instead of just hiring more people they've been burning money on fucking mahjong. i doubt it's going back to normal even after that new game gets crapped out. because they're just gonna continue to focus on the new thing and will simply ignore the game that's falling. i really wouldn't be surprised if they're just trying to make an excuse to kill it off at this point, because that's what it's starting to feel like.
>>1951954you need five to get anything out of them. you get three per collab game, of which there's five, so you have to also play the other four games to actually get the rewards. or you can just buy them directly with cash money. if you don't feel like playing any of the other games, then they're worthless.
>>1951957But anon!Think of all the compensation we'll get out of this!
>>1951995>your 300 gemmies, sir
>>1952002It's a shame they're massacred poor dear Lucretia, because otherwise I probably would have been able to match that somewhat, but I don't have any other girls who have shared attack speed buffs.Still thought it would be funny to at least try while I'm able to though, fuck it why not? My favorite character got turned into a brick, so let's give Okyuu the power of GOD and watch her animations break but honestly seeing the thing get flung back down the hallway by Rycliff was also a pretty great part to it.
Collab seemed pretty boring but this certainly made it interesting.Thanks Mamu.
>>1952035it's kinda sad (but also funny) how the collab was so shit that this ended up being the best part of it. the dragon sucks, but the result of her inclusion is at least pretty funny.
>>1952043>the dragon sucksI mean yeah, her special ability is a black hole. Those things tend to do that.
>>1952035>>1952043I'm sure we'll all look back on this and laugh when we get our TDF Four-Way-Collab that's definitely happening this year. I hope that game ends up being good at least.
If I wanted to start playing and got this, who do I focus on or what do I do?
>>1952045really? her special seems to just be throwing a flail at people. but hopefully her terribleness will finally get the devs off their asses to spare some mahjong money for the poor unpaid code-vivi that they chained to the computer. it's great beast god abuse I tell you.>>1952046i wouldn't bet on it.>>1952047that's a pretty good starting hand at least if that's all your legendary girls. i can't actually tell you how good the dragon's still gonna be though since she's what broke the system currently. she'll probably still be good if it gets "fixed" in the way they were intending her to work. otherwise the frost giant, medusa, iron golem, spider and the psycho bunny are probably the best things you got.
>>1952054>i wouldn't bet on it.I love lovecraft man, let me hope! Okyuu getting to be in that game would be kino. If it's truly the reason behind the current situation it would at least be nice if the game we got out of it was good.I also ended up pulling the one who seems to be the "main girl" for it on the second or third day which was also kinda neat too. But I guess I just think Okyuu has a better design than any of the girls in it I've seen so far.
>>1952054>really?Yeah. Her abilities in TSK are always "Black hole <insert word here>".
>>1952059'death storm tail' doesn't sound like a black hole.i just think she's an extremely lame dragon girl though, design wise. pretty half-assed. all the dragons in TD are far better.
>>1952061Well yeah, it's kind of hard to beat the Monster Musume game at monster musumes since that is this game's biggest strength.She's still cute though.
Sad we didn't get Mauro and Mamu interaction.
>>1952063disagree, but w/eat least the fox was good
>>1952047Step 1: Get 1 character to 120.Step 2: Search for Friend with Chupina and add them.Step 3: Have Friend's Chupina carry you til you get enough Gold(Major limiting factor)Step 4: If you have 7 day beginner mission try to complete it. You get a subskill that you can't get again once missions expire.
>>1952047Do the seven day start dash as soon as possible. But otherwise just enjoy the game and use the girls you like. Don't feel the need to cheese levels per >>1952068 unless you really get stuck on something. Use your red tickets for the EX missions on the one for gold and you'll get a pretty good amount of it.
>>1952070>>1952068If there was a 7-day mission then I most definitely missed it many eons ago. In exchange, I'm sitting on like 3 gacha pities? I expected the number to go down but I got rather lucky rolling on collab and valentines so it did not.
>>1952074Don't bet on it, I started ages ago for a day then came back a few months ago and still had the 7 day beginner mission to do.
>>1952078What's the icon or banner for it? I probably missed it still since I've been doing the Kumafes logins and it's been 7 days since then.
>>1952079If its still there it'd be on the left of the main screen around the paid button parts
>>1952079NTA, but here's how it looked when I was doing it; the icon for the Seven Day Starter Dash is the one with the Vivi and the '7' on it.
>>1952081Yeah I don't have that for sure, I only have the two buttons below it.
>>1952082Well, they you shouldn't feel the need to worry anon, just enjoy the game and have fun at your own pace. Take it slow and don't rush through it. It's a good reward ability, but it's not one you'll be terribly off without. I'd just organize a team of the girls you like the most and go from there.
>>1952084Yeah, so far I just smashed every LR unit I have into a team and called it a day. Slowly figuring out the game but the fact that character deaths don't count against me is really nice because I remember people randomly dying and ruining my chances at a 3* was a problem in Aigis.
>>1952087Don't forget you can move all your units around after deploying them, thats a huge bonus too.
as an aside it's funny how the strongest character i currently have in aigis (besides Eftra probably) turned out to just be Lulu in a hat. I swear this artist must have some kind of love for oversized boots and gloves.
>>1952087Also while you might not need to yet, you should probably put a healer in there eventually; Donne and Rin are good enough if you're still starting out and have no one better. Donne can still see use even later on though due to her stun mechanic.
https://monmusutd.fandom.com/wiki/Monster_Musume_Tower_Defense_WikiAre there non-dead wikis? This one seemed cool but it's dead
>>1952219check the OP anon….
>>1952219I put a link to the japanese wiki in the OP for convenience, so hopefully it can help you.I think it's pretty cool that wiki has all the voicelines for the girls that they did put on it though.
>>1952054>otherwise the frost giant, medusa, iron golem, spider and the psycho bunny are probably the best things you got.Is there a particular or specific reason those units are good?
>>1952567NTA but>Iron GolemAiren deals a tremendous amount of damage with her skill and when she's deployed, and is relatively durable, and can be recalled and then redeployed to keep using her as a bomb to clear things out. She's very powerful. Also, once at a high enough level, there's a combination you can make for her without paying any money that can allow her to activate her skill before she's actually deployed, which causes the damage of her bomb drop to skyrocket to obscene levels.>Spider MaidenKazune slows down enemies and can shorten the skill recharge times of ranged units deployed with her skill, which is just really useful.>Frost GiantNarkepahune is extremely strong and durable, slows enemies down during her skill with the blizzard she calls, and her craftable weapon gives her an extra block and regeneration during that blizzard which makes her a very efficient frontline character.>MedusaLauren petrifies everyone when she's deployed and then petrifies everyone again when she activates her skill, and in general she just hits really hard and can get a lot of bonus damage off on enemies who aren't immune to poison or petrification. Her craftable weapon also increases her damage to petrified enemies off skill as well as giving her the chance to petrify with her normal attacks. She pairs extremely well with Charis (the Cockatrice Girl), as Charis has a ridiculous 2.5x damage bonus on petrified enemies (although Charis works best with her EX II skill), and they can help petrify stuff for each other. So if you end up using Lauren it's reasonable to pair them together.>bunnyI don't own her but I tried her out, she's kinda fun and a self-sufficient blocker similarly to Narkepahune, but more focused on just single-target damage. However her instant kill gimmick can be used to cheese some things, like the big boss enemies in the labrynth.
>>1952588Thanks, that is very helpful.https://monmusu-td.wikiru.jp/?%E3%82%AA%E3%82%B9%E3%82%B9%E3%83%A1%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%A9Is this up to date? Should I try to go for the recommended event characters too?
Goshujin-kun, a second OHKO has hit the island.https://youtu.be/ONgvo59hX1c?si=w_kJlPZapG76h5Ga
>>1952594You're welcome anon, I'm happy I can help you out!And I would consider that pretty up-to-date yeah, as I also referenced that page myself when I was first starting out (albeit a bit later on).As for the suggested rentals, I agree with their list, but one thing I would rectify though is that I disagree with it's assessment on Okyuu's Gun form feeling 'underpowered' in 'later content', as I'm going to attest to you that from personal experience she very much does not. On the contrary she's probably my favorite girl to use because of how ridiculously awesome she feels to just octuple shot rapid fire through so many things, and her unlockable EX II skill allows her to switch between massive focus-fire DPS and clearing huge swarms of enemies. In fact the reduced range of the second skill even came in handy in the challenge stages where enemies reflect damage while unblocked because it allowed her to not shoot them too early.The paygated anniversary version of Raikon didn't get included on that list either, but she's also currently the single strongest character in the game, and will basically kill everything in any level on auto-pilot bar anything immune to physical damage. Besides her though I agree with the list: SS!Okyuu, School!Nigryu, and Anni!Rin are supremely powerful units (just barely avoiding being broken), and then Chupina's probably the strongest character who isn't Anni!Raikon. You have as much time to go through the event archive as you need so you can either do it in order or just grab whoever you want the most. However I'd also suggest training up Hariella, the Harpy Queen, from that archive, as her EX II is incredibly powerful and useful in any situation, letting you withdraw and redeploy all units for a set period of time at the swiftest rate in the game.
>>1952604Hey I was right, her instant-kill can cheese even more than I expected!It seems even more efficient than the previous one did since it requires less extremely-specific limited/hard to obtain units to be able to pull it off; only two there are limited. I really have to wonder what they were thinking with Yano but apparently they also pulled a lot of their staff off for the castle game and it's had a lot of maintenance worked on it so their bug fixers or testers just seem to not be around. But still, they tried to prevent her from insta-killing bosses and she ended up being able to anyways.I love a lot of the bosses and find them very fun and well-designed fights when you're fighting them "correctly" (i.e, the way the devs probably intended you to do so) but it's still undeniably impressive to see stuff like this anyways, even if I'll never use it myself. I'm just happy to see Okyuu and Rycliff there. Kinda funny given I just used those two yesterday too. But apparently a lot of japanese players hate Aurum for some reason despite how awesome that fight is. I guess that's why he showed up in such disrepair in the last alien event.
>>1952604I thought this was the third or fourth.
>>1952621It's the second 'true OHKO' that kills things in one hit.
I feel like I'm learning a lot of how unity games work against my will while trying to get the translation plugin to be actually readable
>>1952807Give it up, there's too much work involved. Just because it feels close doesn't mean you should keep going.
>>1952807>>1952841Even if the reasons/motivations are completely different, that there's now a second anon who's learning stuff about coding directly because of this island is kind of funny to me. It's truly a special place! Hope you get it to work.
>>1952841I'm so close I can almost taste it though, I probably would have been demotivated and went back to my other games given that I already met the kumafes tix requirements if the game didn't keep hitting my weakness of cute small girls on every loading screen which game me the motivation to give it one more attempt.I need to pass out for today but my findings/misc ramblings are:- Bepins version of the plugin are terrible. It feels like mission impossible to get anything that isn't Google TL working with it. It works beautifully if you feed it replacements like "このゲームでは音声が再生されます。\r\n音量にはご注意ください" to "This game plays audio.\nPlease be careful about the volume." since it knows what to do but the translation quality takes a sharp nosedive the second it switches from the premade translations to the MTL.- Melonloader WORKS. I could not get anything working with Bepin but I was able to get Melonloader to recognize and load an external translator (SugoiTranslator) and use it to actually translate lines on a different test game but I haven't tried feeding it to MTD yet since I need to pass out soon and I don't want to stay up doing this and there's a lot of other things I want to test.- There used to be a Mist Train translation that used MelonLoader which is where I got the idea. I know DMM doesn't seem to care about Bepin or Hachimi so hopefully they don't care about me using Melon for this game if it ends up being a viable solution.Required links to get Sugoi working that aren't listed on the pastebin another anon provided are:https://archive.org/download/sugoi-toolkit-publicDownload the Sugoi Toolkithttps://github.com/Vin-meido/XUnity-AutoTranslator-SugoiOfflineTranslatorEndpointSugoi Translator Endpoint + DLL for XUAT
I've realized now that I had completely forgotten about actually putting those note transcripts into pastebins; I still probably need to clean up the other five main story chapters but for the prologue I just saw some small things I needed to correct and straightened out the names.>https://pastebin.com/zLpRrPRLI'll try to remember to get to the other chapters of the wraithon arc; it's probably not perfect but it should hopefully still be good enough.
I couldn't unfuck the wordwrap issue but I managed to get a better non-GoogleTL translator working.I tried the Melonmod method I mentioned above in my sleep deprived state but the game refused to load the translator mod using melon so I applied what I learned to Bepin and it worked out quite nicely. It requires using SugoiTranslator though which in my opinion, is worse than Gemini or DeepL but better than Google Translate.The problem seems to lay on the fact DeepL deprecated support for various API methods so the DeepL support for XUAT is dead and broken until the developer of it finds a workaround or a fix but if the fix requires signing up for a "Free" (Requires Credit Card) API then it's going to be a lot worse than before.I also wanted to attempt implementing support for Gemini as a custom translator but Gemini seems to have slashed their free plans by a LOT so the plugin would reach the limit of calls in less than an hour of reading so it wasn't worth it. Didn't feel like messing with the other options and Sugoi seemed good enough so I went with it.Installation instructions are basically just >>1944877 except you want to grab the links I posted above and add SugoiTranslator as a translator to the config file likehttps://pastebin.com/z22J0Vtt
>>1953167Also, as an additional thing, you can hide the BepInEx console if it bothers you by going to the BepInEx.cfg and changing the setting located at [Logging.Console] to false. It'll hide the console window but still translate the game and prevents clutter on your task bar.
ok I admit turning School!Agyro into a dragon spirit machine gun is kinda awesome to watchI think at this point I'm just really bummed that Lucretia can't participate in the fun
Argyro's like a speedster in bullet time when you slow down the game.
>>1953167I'm glad you managed to get it to work anon! hope you're enjoying the story.or at least finding it funny in some way.

>>19539471,000 apology gemmies instead of 300?! Truly they are generous!
Finally..........peace has been restored...........!
>>1953719It only barely works and it's honestly pretty fucked. It's so fucked that I think it'd honestly be better to just play without it and use some sort of OCR software to translate the story.Game is pretty fun and charming though, definitely a good experience.
>>1954235Well, that's unfortunate to hear but I'm glad you're still having a lot of fun anon!I don't know what OCR is but what I've been doing is>scan text>inspect anything that stands out to make sure it's accurate>work out any erroneous or unusual translations by hand>reference SFX Japanese guide for assistance>put in doc>repeatand that's basically how I've been doing it. Trying to rely on a translation tool results in a lot of things, mostly gags, getting lost in it's attempt to translate them. Some of it is just character skills or speech patterns, like more formal or informal behavior, but others are things like "Ameri wants to fish out the master's soul from his body for love making time", "the 'english numbers' are actually spelling out extremely lewd sex messages in japanese", "Mauro accidentally called Raikon a drug addict bum when she got powered up", etc.Also the latter has become even funnier to me since that anniversary event, because I think in hindsight it was meant to be a reference to the very first time Raikon appeared in the story, where she actually WAS trying to buy drugs from a shady dealer in an earlier event under the belief that they'd fix her self-image issues with her arms only to realize she was getting scammed when they got exposed as poachers and she subsequently went berserk at them. I'm not into lolis, but I think those two are still pretty entertaining characters to watch anyway.Do you still want me to post the translation efforts I've done for the first five chapters, or are you happy enough with what you've got now?
>>1954294>Do you still want me to post the translation efforts I've done for the first five chaptersWould be great for sure and thank you very much for your hard work with the translations.
>>1954410You're welcome anon. Though I'm not sure if I'd go that far yet; I'm not the one who's posting the summaries in the threads, and while I have translated some gags like that there's some that don't really carry over well.I'll consider it hard work when I finally get around to re-writing all of Okyuu's dialogue to be properly filled with brooklynisms due to that being fucking kino the best possible way to translate her gloriously thick kansai accent.
Ok so I finished combing through Chapter 1 to correct all the leftover spelling mistakes and name inconsistencies and while I missed a couple of the optional choices the main story as a whole is still intact so I went to upload it, but APPARENTLY pastebin has spontaneously developed "standards" between the prologue and now and told me to go fuck myself.I set it to "Unlisted" because private is blurred out and unusable, and I'm not sure if a second attempt will ban me or something because I've never even heard of this happening before, but regardless of what it specifically was it's refusing to allow me to upload the transcript and given what happens in some of the later chapters it's pretty likely that it's gonna ban all of those too. So I guess it's just the prologue then.Sorry anon. Not much I can do here really.
https://litter.catbox.moe/2rfai07frn7udvg0.zipI think I managed to datamine parts of the story scripts? I couldn't translate the ingame text so I pivoted to datamining the game and I think I had far more success with this. The file is on a 12 hour timer but should hopefully be enough for anons to grab the files and check them.There's still like 90k json files to go through so if this isn't enough then let me know and I'll continue searching.>>1954483Your issue is simple, you used Pastebin. Pastebin automatically flags any suspicious paste with pretty strict filters which is why most generals of this site switched to using rentry. Just make sure you're using the org version of the site because the co version of the site will get flagged as spam by 4chan.
>>1954525alright, well i never knew pastebin had issues like that beforehand but i guess i had to learn at some point. thanks anon.while you're datamining do you have the ability to find any of the girl's cgs? or at least the assets for them? I know some of them are flat pictures but others get reassembled to make them move.
>>1954540Yeah I got everything. I couldn't specifically find what I wanted in the viewer when I was looking for the story scripts and I extracted everything which includes the images.I have no idea how to make them move if they aren't already moving though, I just extracted them as a side product in my quest for the story text.
oh neat, would you be willing to dump those too?I don't really care about the movement, all I want is the stills; I just want to mod some of the girls into something and need their stills for that and none of them have good renders that are as high quality as what's in the game (much less without their backgrounds), especially Okyuu who always looks too blurred compared to how she actually is.
>>1954553https://transfer.it/t/X6EEmi5hmJaKI hope this works? I'll delete the file in a day or two
>>1954568YES THANK YOU ANON YOU HAVE DONE GODS WORK FINALLY>Most girls are actually fully assembled contrary to what I was told, and are almost entirely contained into a single file, sometimes two>Okyuu takes up four because she's so based and three of those are just her detailsI'll get right on what I'm doing but holy shit thank you so much man I really can't thank you enoughIf you have any monster girl who's your favorite in-so-far as you've played at this point name her and I'll put her on my to-do list if she isn't there already, that's really the least I can do granted time may vary Aqua took me a little over two months to finish but some of them didn't take too long at least
>>1954593huh, oddly enough Aqua seems to be missing from this. Maybe it's because you don't have her? But I know she does appear in at least a couple of the other events in the archive. There's actually not that many girls in here as I expected, though I am very grateful Okyuu is. It's definitely an extremely important start at least. So thanks.
>>1954598I actually don't have Okyuu. I don't have many LRs really, I barely have enough to fill a team. Who's in there or isn't in there seems completely arbitrary so it's out of my power if someone's in there or not.If the Android version of the game uses unity too then I might try datamining that instead since the PC versions hide files in mysterious places that I have no idea about while the android version can only place folders in very specific spots.It could also be like old games where it only partially downloads files and stuff while it only does a full download when told specifically to do a full download or when you obtain that character.Alternatively, I could simply post the steps on how I managed to get the images because I've been learning how to do these things for the sole purpose of trying to translate the game. The knowledge of how to do so would also help me in the future and I haven't had much to do lately so this gives me a fun way to pick up a new skill.Step1:Download AssetStudioModhttps://github.com/aelurum/AssetStudio/releases/tag/v0.19.0AssetRipper exists too but I found it harder to use so downloading the GUI version of AssetStudio should be easier to use.Step 2:Open the GUI exe and point it at your game folder which should be called "mnms_td_r18". On PC, it's installed by default at your user folder. So if your user is called "Anonymous" then the directory you're looking for is C:\Users\Anonymous\If pointing it at root doesn't work then point it at the data folder found inside the game folder.Step 3:Wait until it loads. Tell it to show everything or select everything then do Export -> All Assets.Wait a while since it's processing every single thing in the folder and it's a large amount of files it has to go through. Once it's done, you'll have a full dump of the game files on your PC.
>>1954609i can feel myself getting confused already, but would this even work with the browser version of the game? that's the only version I've ever gotten to work, and I wasn't able to find the file specified when I went to search for it. I'm assuming this is being written with the DMM Launcher or android versions in mind.And since I've just been assuming you're >>1952047 I figured you didn't have Okyuu, and that was why those girls were in there, and I'm assuming Lulu and Okyuu are in your files because you happened to play or watch something that featured them, or just looked at them perhaps. That's the best explanation I can think of anyways.
>>1954634It is for sure being written for the PC dmm version of the game.Remember you absolutely need a Japanese VPN to even open the DMM games launcher so I'd suggest a solution likehttps://gist.github.com/tilda/d52a8c7fa3f161de6cc45bbd2a1cbeecand keep it on at all times while DMM games is on. Once your DMM game of choice properly loads then you can turn it off.It wouldn't work with the Browser version because it works completely differently and I haven't verified if it works on the mobile versions of the game yet.
also I want to ask if these got used anywhere because there's a handful of drawings of Master with funny expressions that aren't as detailed that seem like they were cut for something
So, anyone got any newbie guidance?Like game goals, stuff to be pushing, things to be working on and so on that isn't just reading the story?
what now
>>1955613Sure! My to-do list when I started was>Progress through the story>Beat the event archive>Level Up Best(Favorite) Girls>Clear Boss Challenges (Very Fun)>Delve into the Labrynth>Beat Labrynth Missions (if you clear the level with a specific restriction you will get a slab to craft a special sub-skill, ranging from tier IV versions of the normal ones to unique and very strong abilities)>Clear challenge stages>And of course: spend time with Best(Favorite) Girl(s)At this point I have also been going back and re-playing both chapters and events that I already cleared in order to translate them properly at this point since it's pretty fun to do that and also relaxing to have my preferred team just breeze through something. The stories are fun enough that I think it's enjoyable to simply read them again for that.Don't feel the need to rush though, you can burn yourself out too easily. Once you've accomplished everything there's not much else to do but either read/translate stuff you've not done yet, refight stuff you found fun or just wait for the next event. But I think that's true for most games like this anyway.
Oh also thank you Okyuu for blessing my rolls, I pulled the girl I was most interested in from the collab, she was the best part of that archive event besides the gags with the bear trio lol
>>1955628Any suggestions on how to properly use stuff like Transcendent tickets? There's a stage for every mat with these tickets. And how hard is it to get more of these?
>>1955625whats the final veredict on Mahamut and Higanbana after the bugfix patch anyway?
>>1955632Twinkle bad, Flower Knight good
>>1955631Oh the EX Tickets?I save those up for when I either need Gold or EXP to help level up a Monster Girl. I usually use them for gold, but since the EXP one got upgraded it's been worthwhile to use it on that sometimes if I really need to. But in general I think the gold is the best one. If you're really hurting for those cubes that upgrade the E/L Girl's skills though then using one to get six of those cubes is pretty reasonable enough.
>>1955631Hold until half anni when they run drop bonus.If you're desperate then EXP > Gold in efficiency. If you're extremely desperate then whichever you need at that moment or else you can't win.Although at that point just use your Friendly neighborhood Chupina.
>>1955648>Hold until half anni when they run drop bonus.Whens that?
>>1955648isnt the next one the actual anniversary
>>1955648Winning with your girl > using chupinaUnless your girl is also chupina
>>1955677What if you don't have a girl yet and crave overwhelming power on par with the latest Aigis hero units?
Are the other two collab units worth rolling for to finish a spark (40 rolls which means me depleting fate episodes to get them)Uhh the twinkle loli and the other one
>>1955682isnt there two twinkle lolis and two flower knights? you'd have to be more specific
Talking about Aigis hero units, I was surprised to see Lapis in the list of characters but is this Sylvia?
>>1955682>>1955638
>>1955695This game simply couldn't take the true power of a star knight. They tasted a bit of it and the game broke so hard they had to fix it.
>>1955678Then find your girl!But if you really just don’t feel like doing it then putting the level on auto-pilot is probably still fun in its own way. I just always felt like it wasn’t as fun is all. I usually use rentals to try out girls I wanted or liked but didn’t have.>>1955685Also have no idea how strong aigis heroes are in general since the game feels easier than TD is, but that’s Lucifer apparently. Agyro does get a cosplay outfit where she dresses up as Sylvia though. Although I’d rather just have Sylvia herself, like I’d rather have Okyuu in aigis than the cosplay (even if it’s kinda neat still).
>>1955698The father of chaos has noticed the error and corrected it. Only his world gets to have a girl who stacks.
>>1955667oh right it is>>1955652In May
>>1955754What about the TD fest? Is that going to be soon?
>>1955766NTA but they'll be after the anniversary most likely.
Huh, I randomly found a solution to the "Text gets cut off" problem Monmosu has.https://github.com/bbepis/XUnity.AutoTranslator/issues/805I don't have the coding know-how to implement it but throwing it out there for anyone that does.
oh my god i cant believe someone leaked the next event in kumafes bros
>>1955629>look at her home game>she's actually a HUMAN>she doesn't look like this at all>she just spontaneously transformed from a normal human into a fairy dragon when she arrived>and somehow never noticedthe kuma with the gun did good if it's her fault

>>1955631>>1955613The coin shop resets weekly, buy out everything but the expensive milk and red keys which are infinite and can be bought whenever you truly need to farm weapon materials.The cash shop has a small section which gives a free chest once a week which can give gems so don't forget to pick it up as well.Remember to gather ranch milk and gold from the Silva button and do the daily greet thing to all your friends(add people if you haven't, it's one way, so just add whoever). The friendpoint shop resets monthly.For daily play, you only ever farm gold from the dailies and experience/milk from ticket quests. Tickets can also be used for skill mats if you need the cubes specifically. The reason you only ever farm gold from normal dailies is because farming gold and buying the expensive milk from the coin shop is strictly superior to farming milk from the normal farming stages. This reverses with the ticket quests where the ticket milk quest is strictly superior to the ticket gold quest.So during non-farming events, you spend all your stamina on the gold daily, use 1 silver key, collect dailies, then spend stamina on gold. If there's an event with dailies that reward stamina, then add that amount. If there's a farming event, mostly spend stamina on that until the shop is empty and only do 2 gold quests per day for the daily.There are periodically generic events which reward currency for a small shop with roll tickets. These shops typically have what the nips have termed trap milk. As in milk that is completely pointless to buy compared to the infinite gold option as buying gold and buying expensive milk in the coin shop is more efficient. So don't buy the milk from those shops and use leftover currency after buying all roll tickets on the infinite gold.Beast God mats and LB equipment are farmed from main story. Farm LB equipment as you need it, but leave farming Beast God mats to when they halve main story stamina use or boost drop rates.
>>1955678https://pastebin.com/TNHvR3fhIf you're willing to read a massively bloated pastebin full of one tryhard's(that does play AK and Aigis) opinions and summaries of units that's been going since near launch, I have this.For a short quick list of overpowered units. You get more detailed breakdowns in the Pastebin. Ephtra is actually fairly gimped here though. Chupina - Has an instant skill that can reach 0 skill cooldown.Aran - More powerful here than in Aigis due to several mechanical changesPhyllis(Asbaal Outfit) - Perma-skill with Asbaal's DP on kill and grants stun immunity to allies.NY Yano - like Morfessa, but has a 2.85x damage taken multiplier. Logdanno - Monks in general, but she's one of the best for bombing and doesn't need a Start Charger(paid subskill)Poison Rin - Giant AoE DoT and massive healing numbers on top.Promestein - Healer that also has a stacking attack buff on heal.Kokonoha - The cornerstone of Youkai teams.Ifijar - Like Angels/Liberators, but can still block outside of skill and one of the best tanks in the game with 50% damage reduction.>broken paid unitsFutanari Idols - Grants -6 second cooldown to melee units. Water Rakion - DPS that cannot be described and must be experienced to understand.Nonoa - Instant skill that can reach 0 skill cooldown that also permanently buffs water allies to the point of hitting attack buff cap.Anniversary Igni - Permanent DoT aura. >AzepAzep - has a janky skill that can be repeatedly buffed to integer limit damage. Mainly for cheesing infinite boss challenge.There's a lot more units I could probably mention, but I can't list all of them.
>>1955922Holy crap an up to date guide. Yes, this is exactly what I desired. I crave information more than anything and this is excellent. Thank you very much.Are there any upcoming events or banners to look forward to or save for?
>>1955925Copypasting a post I made a month ago when somebody asked about how often events and units release.For the most part when one event ends, another begins. The vast majority are 2 weeks, so 2 a month is fairly accurate, but bigger events can be 3, and rarely we might get non-event weeks because a new story chapter releases.Every event generally releases with 2 new gacha units, 1 welfare, and sometimes a new paid pack unit. Youkai gachas are an exception which sometimes also release new extra lower rarity youkai.In regards on what to save for, limiteds are mainly anniversary, youkai, aliens, and collab units. Seasonal units like swimsuits and new year's units are not limited, but NY Ruisha and Yano are limited because they're also youkai. You can bank on anni units to rerun on annis, youkai with new youkai events, aliens with the alien event, and collabs if there's a new collab part.Regarding collabs, there have been 4 partners so far.The most common and could be considered not a collab is the DMM TDFestival which is across MMTD, Aigis, and Oshiro Project. As a publisher backed collab, these are pretty regular.Then there was Kumafes which is a collab across all the dev's games, Flower Knight Girl, Mist Train Girl, Girl's Creation, MMTD, and Twinkle Star Knights. We are currently in the midst of the second one.Then there's Monster Girl Quest. 3 collabs so far and more are probable.Sequel was relatively recent and very unexpected as Rabi and Tirma became the first human units in the game. More Sequel collabs are also quite likely. Regarding what to save for.Anniversary - Poison Rin and True Vampire Veratu.Aliens - Chupina and Slayzel.TDFestival - Aran and Asbaal Phyllis.MGQ - Promestein.Youkai/New Year's - NY YanoYoukai are like the Imperials of this game. I would pick up both Mahamut and Higanbana. Mahamut is still extremely powerful even if her attack speed buff doesn't do silly stacking while Higanbana is a top class DPS.
>>1955935>Sequel was relatively recent and very unexpected as Rabi and TirmaYeah, looking at the wiki I felt like I was getting jumpscared and had to do a double take after seeing Rabi's face in there. MGQ was surprising but thematically expected while Sequel was a large "Huh?"Also, are there any updates to the Mahamut situation now that they (hopefully?) bugfixed things? Does her final buff type stack or not?
>>1955937It doesn't. They just managed to fix things. However, it's still the highest normal source of +attack speed% if she's fully awakened at +70% versus the +50% of Pannier and Space Vivi. That is still extremely strong. If anything, she at least gives you the option of using a different Beast God. She herself is still an extremely strong unit with a full screen AoE and hard hitting ranged AoE attacks.
>>1955940Thank you. Do you recommend leveling either Mahamut or Higanbana to maximum level? Leveling characters in this game seems very expensive at the current point where I am in the game.It was also common practice in both Arknights and Aigis to stop at around 30~40 or so after fully promoting or class changing an unit but I'm not sure if there's a similar parallel here or how the system works yet.
>>1955942Level 120+ is pure luxury. However, you want 1 level 121+(I think there's a 30 level range for borrowing) unit so you can borrow other maxed out units.In general you'll be sticking to level 90 units at CC3(400k cost) for a while. Mahamut and Higanbana are worth taking to CC4. Maxing out is definitely a labor of love. For budget, CC2 is when units are considered usable as that's when the second subskill slot unlocks. Some classes get more out of class ups than others, so the general rule would be core DPS/blockers higher investment and supports/healers lower.Hopefully there will be more Sugoroku events soon which give the most gold and exp in the game by far. Though the last one was relatively recent with New Year's.Also, lower rarity units are vastly less gold to upgrade. This game does not do the weak welfare things. Some of them being strong enough to fit in fully built endgame squads. All the Lycanthropes for example are great when you're starting out.
>>1955954Very, very helpful. Thank you.Do you have any suggested event units that are worth picking up or Commons/Rares worth looking at? I've seen some suggestions and articles about it but might as well also ask while I'm at it.
>>1955957Going by event archive numbers(Torse is the 1st while the collab rerun loli Oshnee is 51 for example).4. Thiel - Perma stealth Warlock with insanely strong weapon passive that has made her core to all low rarity guides.8. Tetty - The premier early-game tank. Has extremely massive bulk and regeneration when transformed. Just be wary of stuns which knock units out of skills in this game.13. Harriela - Has one of the most insane EX2s in the game(you get unit's other EX skills from Ranchiki training events which run ever so often). -80% redeploy reduction during her EX2 for all units including herself. This is more for advanced cheese strats and unneeded for general gameplay, but that should give you the idea of unit power in this game.23. Maridura - Water squad buff. Water element has the most squad buffs in the game and it literally propels them a step above the other elements once you have enough of them.27. Swimsuit Periri - Will likely be the first charger you actually use. Chargers being units based around movement damage. Lycanthrope tankiness, permanent skill, and hits things for a lot with easily spammable movement.29. Latzel - The unit copier in this game. Unfortunately balanced by not being able to be deployed at the same time as the unit she's copying. Also really annoying as she copies a random unit from the first 6 in squad(can be reduced to 5 if she's among the first 6 units). Mainly for copying squad buffs. She'll always hit one if the whole first half of the squad has one.31. Halloween Lagos - Laser34. NY Saura - a welfare Shaman. Shamans are just very good when you're starting out.42. Swimsuit Lotona - Extremely strong blocker for a Lancer. The peak of Lancer before higher rarities all getting ranged damage.43. Puck - Very strong and disposable CC on a 0 deploy unit.48. NY Nelly - 0 deploy healer that is also one of the few that can cure petrification.50. Valentine's Shijime - Near infinite disposable tanks.
>>1955964>Unfortunately balanced by not being able to be deployed at the same time as the unit she's copying.Damn, I miss the unit copying shenanigans in Aigis. I remember they gave a free one and you could just do very funny shit with her because of how wild the kits got in Aigis.Thank you, I'll aim to get those. Should I be leveling them to 90 after the event gives me them at 70?
>>1955957>>1955964Low rarity non-welfares to look at.Suzu - Extremely scalable with buffs.Letia - Thiel's sister who also does the perma-stealth off-skill with large buff from weapon thing. Periri - Lycanthrope Conjurer and is basically most player's first DPS.Mima - More of a meme strat, but EX2 self-destruct can solo stages as 1 Nip on my friend's list likes to do a lot.Done/Donay - The only unit in the game with a guaranteed stun if not immune. Stun works on a weird cumulative system in this game and she's the only unit that inflicts it directly as a common healer. Nowadays they're more consistent about making bosses immune outright rather than putting stun resistance at max, but she cheesed a few bosses out of their enrage nukes.Punema - Water squad buff and decent warlock besides that.Anisira - the lowest rarity Shaman and very much helps carry early game while also having one of the few sources of skill CD reduction in the game. You can't go wrong with shamans in general.Anse - one of the few low rarity units with a substantial buffing skill.Diffnilla, Saura, and Lotona - You'll be investing in your lower rarity Paladins if only for the EX Labyrinth(red key dungeon where weapon mats drop) when you finally get to it. For most defense purposes, low and high rarity Paladins are pretty much interchangeable, so it's not a waste.Regarding the EX Labyrinth, it has explicit low rarity challenges among its floors, so you can pretty much invest freely in all your rares and commons as there aren't that many of them while also being dirt cheap. There's epic and below floors(E, R, and C) and a few rare and below floors(Just R and C). It's a good way to keep low rarity investment from ever being considered wasteful. >>1955968If you intend to CC3 them. There's no real particular stat breakpoints with level, but CCs let you put on the next tier of equipment. If they seem like they could use more stats, then level them.
>>1952607>>1955964>two anons recommending hariella nowi guess that redeploy's pretty ridiculous, yeah. you don't always need it but when you need it it's pretty bullshit.also as an aside since the other two anons have pretty much covered the bases for recommended/suggested girls to use I'm just going to say that as far as labrynth subskills go getting fast charger is one of the first things you should probably aim for since -4 off of initial and reuse skill cooldowns is invaluable and with the right set-ups you can even cause certain girls to auto-activate their skill, like letting the majority of monks pull a budget start charger or turn certain lancers like okyuu into instead cost refund on deploy. the game's definitely at the place where you can choose your own difficulty by restricting your party of girls, but it's nowhere near as broken as the other two td games are yet.
>>1955922Out of curiosity, pastebin anon, what is your favorite girl?Design/personality wise, I mean (although if they're just really fun to use that's perfectly respectable to)
>>1955683Meant the two oldest units, so the ones that aren't Mammut nor the fox
>>1956195NTA but I got Oncidium yesterday and she's honestly pretty fun! Her weapon lets her move for no cost, which combined with her class giving her attack buffs after she finishes moving is pretty good, and her skill gives wind allies a huge damage bonus during skill plus she gets a damage buff dependent on her movement speed. I don't think she's broken but she's definitely quite strong and very fun to use.And also very cute. Her dance is adorable.>>1955979Also figured I'd mention that as far as walls go I've actually ended up getting significantly more usage out of Pteria the Hippocampus Girl than I expected to (at least compared to two of those, Rotona's still really strong), so while I agree with you on a lot of stuff I felt like she's worth a mention as well. She's still absurdly durable like the other walls as expected of her class but she's also ridiculously mobile and can easily reposition to just block off different pathways, and her ability to charge without attacking (even though her damage is a pittance compared to a charger like Perili) has also allowed her to avoid OHKO attacks that other walls either got killed by or were unable to escape from due to their slower movement and getting bogged down by attacking mobs. She's been a very pleasant surprise for me, as I didn't expect her to turn out so well and if I'm not using Aqua/Okyuu or Anni!Pelorus at this point it's usually her.
>>1956188Looks-wise girls on the more loli side and personalitywise girl-failures. Damstow is unironically one of my favorites along with Rakion and Chupina. Okyu was my preregistration starter and Lagos was my favorite when first playing the game at launch. I love Pinda and Pupiperuza's dynamic as I really enjoy when a girl has to switch to being the tsukkomi/responsible one. Lapinus lowkey being the sensible type also falls under that category. Fetish-wise, consensual choking is one of my holy grails and I love Mealus for it. My favorite design in the game is probably Mezier because I also like piercings along with Yura who's also quite high up for me, but both are sadly on the more forgotten side of things. Outside of monmusu, Eloise/the Trio are also favorites for the reasons stated.As a guy who's gone over literally every girl in the game, there's a lot of girls I can list honestly. I appreciate most everybody at least and I'm not really the type to dislike anybody as well so I can't say I have a least favorite either.
>>1956339I appreciate you talking in-depth about the girls you like, it's always really nice to see. So thanks! You and I have a lot of opposite tastes, but there's nothing wrong with that. I honestly just like monster girl design as a whole, even if I'm not attracted to a lot of them, because I just think they're really fun. I'm not into lolis, but I do think Raikon has an extremely inventive design. I don't think I've ever seen a hecatoncheires girl before and the greek pillar aesthetic is honestly pretty sick with how she pulls it off, she just looks really cool. Yura is also one of the coolest looking girl too, the way they pulled off the Hydra just makes her look awesome and she's always fun to use. So at the very least you're not alone in thinking she's great.>OkyuuAbsolutely Based; although I admit I never really saw her as a loli so much as a girl with a babyface (although in her moving portrait she does looks totally dwarfed by those tentacles), but she's still easily my favorite Monster Girl in the game by a landslide at this point either way. She's friendly, shockingly sensible, very accomplished and also just hilarious. I'm incredibly grateful I was able to meet her so quickly, judging by how trying to recruit Okyuu seems to be a meme overseas.There's honestly a lot of really cool or inventive designs I like here though so trying to list anything after her would be a really long list. I usually prefer Harpies, but oddly enough there's not actually that many I got attached to here. I guess I just really prefer it when they have wing-arms, and not both arms and wings? There were some I did like early on but that I got put off of eventually for one reason or another, too. Although I still don't dislike them. But I do really like Okyuu and Yura. It's really a shame that they're the only two girls that Orihira has done so far, he's a fantastic artist. Hopefully Yura will get an alt of her own.
>>1956339>Looks-wise girls on the more loli side and personalitywise girl-failures.You're my brother man. Definitely my favorite type in any game I play, I tend to be easily convinced to pick up any random game if I see a cute loli that pushes my buttons though me sticking with it depends on the game itself.
>>1956339Also, I've grown to appreciate Damstor for being the sheer fountain of comedy that she is; the shitshows she keeps causing on the wiki's comments sections are fucking hilarious to watch even if one anon was doomposting over them a while back. Even now they still keep bringing her up. Her introduction was also great. Chupina's a good girl too; even if I'm not into her she's pretty nice and I'm glad she got to make friends with the bumbling scientist. Even if I'm not a fan of her space suit, Chupas are just my favorite cryptid, and if there was going to be anything in this game that's comically overpowered it's nice that it's a Chupa. I can't really be surprised at her winning the last poll, since doubtless there's a lot of people who used her to beat things they couldn't have otherwise, and that's always going to endear a character to a playerbase.>Lapinus>Sensiblethat's the vorpal bunny, right? is she really?that's honestly really funny to imagine. I would never have guessed that.>least favoriteyou know I've never actually given that thought, there's shockingly very few girls I actively dislike here. almost any nitpick I do have with any given girl is never about the girl herself, it's just a critique about the design. I'd have to actually think about it.>>1956399>I tend to be easily convinced to pick up any random gameFor me it's Cute Harpy Girls and I'll be willing to try damn near anything so long as the game itself seems like it's fun.
>>1956391>>1956401Fun fact, I am the one who got into an argument with you about Chupina's design(from a character and graphical standpoint). I am also the one who shilled this game in /mggg/ during the 3rd MGQ collab and wrote up a list of bird girls for you. I always wondered why your focus shifted to Okyu so much over the harpies and other birdgirls.
Should I be farming either of the currently ongoing events as a new player? The Kumafes one and the other one with the healer girl.
>>1956412The other event doesn't really have anything to farm, and you won't really get anything out of farming the kumafes one since there isn't a welfare and it didn't restock, so if you already got all the tickets and gear you need, then you don't really need to do it. if you're new though it might be a good idea to get all the gear you can from it, since it'll save you time later.
>>1956412Star events(clear stages to upgrade welfare) have 0 farming requirements outside of a complete stages 20 times overall by the end of the event which is basically 9 extra skips on the lowest stamina stage or any stage with equipment you might be short on.Shop events you farm until you get everything you want from the shop out of it.
>>1956406I kinda suspected, but never really knew for certain. I did really appreciate you making the list of Cute Harpy Girls however (I kept it for reference), so thank you for that as well anon! I think the discussion over Chupina was amicable enough, or at least I remember it ending amicably enough and you and I understanding the other's point of view. I'd still prefer a "nature's pinnacle of evolution" style chupacabra girl at some point, but even if I don't like how she looks, I do think I've still come to appreciate how ambitious she was for trying to find a way to fuse the two ideas. even if i still think the spear has logistical issues, that's really the only thing that does genuinely bother me about her still at this point lol>I always wondered why your focus shifted to Okyuu so muchYou know it's funny, even though I can pinpoint the exact moment that this started to happen (which was the very first time I met Okyuu, which was EXTREMELY memorable and fucking hysterical, pic related) I'm still kind of surprised that it did. Half of this comes down to just how incredible I ended up finding Okyuu to be and how much she beat the odds by having a lot of things that should freak me out but ending up genuinely lovable and sincere anyways, I could probably go on a while about her.But even at the time, I think there was already stuff about most of the harpies that was just kinda putting me off a bit about them. I'm not really attracted to most of them, either. And there also ended up being a lot of stuff about Charis that ended up turning me off of her a lot, too. I'm still fond of her, sure, but in a 'that's nice' way to me now I guess, which is strange since she was one of the girls I initially liked the most.I guess it's complicated, but can roughly boil down to>I prefer the MGQ Harpies>Okyuu ended up being the most memorable girl on the island
>>1952047oh right now that i'm thinking about it you pulled Yura too right? I'd train her up as well she's genuinely pretty solid and helped me out a lot. She's extremely durable, and her base skill allows her to deal a truckload of single-target damage to anything that can be poisoned, and she ended up being pivotal for some of my clears on harder stuff like a couple of the MAX bosses. Her EX II also lets her deal with crowds of enemies and is pretty good in it's own right.
Haven't posted about patching the game in a while because I've been feeling physically out of it lately but here's my progress and solutions in case anyone else was interested or wanted to mess around with it. Gonna take a break from messing around with this myself but here's my findings.>Problem:Monmosu's text gets cut off during story which makes it impossible to read>Solution:One of the workarounds herehttps://github.com/bbepis/XUnity.AutoTranslator/issues/805Patching the game resources as suggested seems unrealistic so the more realistic suggestion from the thread seems to simply either redirect the text resources as suggested or have the translation already prepared.If you can intercept the source text with a script and simply output it to clipboard then a lot more solutions for translation open up.>Problem:The TL for Monmosu's UI looks -AWFUL->Solution:Sanitize input before sending it to a translator using a pre-processor.The culprit behind the translation getting mangled is tags like <cspace\=0> getting sent to the translator which causes the translator to see <indent\=-6%><cspace\=-1>リ<cspace\=0>セ<cspace\=-5>ット instead of リセットThe solution seems somewhat easy enough to implement and would vastly improve TL patch quality but I worry that using such a wide net might have unforeseen issues in the games which I don't feel like dealing with at the moment.Alternatively, another solution would be to just open the game, have the game auto-translate every UI element and then open the file to manually replace the mangled translations to what they should be so the game isn't translating the UI on the fly but simply replacing the untranslated text with the provided translation one.
>>1956439Auto translating every UI element and then replacing it manually is the simpler method, though it requires you to search up every issue manually which takes a lot of time.
>>1956481It's around 2k~ text lines from what my text editor tells me if you want to do it that way and not every line is broken or UI related. At least it's an one and done solution since it's not like they're going to overhaul the UI in the future and new stuff could be knocked out in five minutes or less if they add new modes or features.
>>1956490>>1956481>>1956439NTA, but would a tool like grepwin be useful for the replacement part? even if I'm not using the DMM Launcher, that tool's been helpful for correcting things like this in other situations for me, so I figured I'd suggest it in case it'd be helpful here
>>1956495Not really because the lines get mangled in unpredictable ways so you'd have to first find the messy line that looks like<indent\=-1.5%><cspace\=-1>レ<cspace\=-0>ベ<cspace\=1>ル<cspace\=0>選択=<indent\=-1.5%><cspace\=-1>Re<cspace\=-0>Be<cspace\=1>le<cspace\=0>choiceThis is completely unusable because the translation is worthless and the line is unreadable to man or machine so first you have to make it readable by applying a regex that removes all tags to getレベル選択=ReBelechoiceWhich still makes no sense so you fix it toレベル選択=Level Selectionorレベル選択=Lv. SelectBut it's still not good enough because the game will be looking for that mess of tags so the end product would end up looking like<indent\=-1.5%><cspace\=-1>レ<cspace\=-0>ベ<cspace\=1>ル<cspace\=0>選択=Lv. SelectAnd then it's a constant process of deciphering, translating, formatting, repeat. Very easy stuff that could be done by literally anyone since even a non-Japanese speaker could simply plug it to DeepL or a LLM but it's also extremely tedious and boring work.
>>1956519>Not really because the lines get mangled in unpredictable waysthat's understandable. I'm not going to benefit from this either way since I play on the browser, I just thought I'd see. Seems it just best done by hand then.>it's also extremely tedious and boring workIt's true, but trying to work around this would probably cause problems. Sometimes there's no better solution unfortunately.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7heuQfsUmgNext stage announced
>>1956604Hopefully Airen gets to have some fun on her isekai adventure. They look like they're teasing her for her outfit in that lol.
>>1956431nta but if that was your first time seeing her then i can see how being abruptly told 'oh yeah by the way there's this girl who cuts off her legs to deep fry them for her fast food chain' would be a fucking curveball if you hadn't gotten accustomed to the insanity of the island yet so it makes sense it would stand out. i don't think there's anyone who dislikes her. if you care about 'sensible people' (so, has both common sense/backbone and isn't retarded) then there's only a small number of girls that count for that and i dont think any of the bird girls would counter at all except for fermi. even ather kills him in one of her stories and then resurrects him like she didn't get the problem since she has endless revives.
>>1956613The purple hair girl is their Kuromi-like so she's admiring her choice of outfit.
Any guesses for who will be our second collab partner now that Girls Creation is the first?
>>1956666nicewell judging by the wheel I think Flower Knight Girls is the most reasonable guess, but I wonder if there'll be another MMTD Girl who gets to show up in one of these. Since Suzu's getting featured on the splash art and Rin and Kuromi were in the last one, maybe it'd be her? I think she's a safe bet.>>1956642Oh neat, that's still kinda funny.>>1956624Yeah I>ather kills him in one of her storieshey whoa whoa whoa are you talking about Aether the Phoenix Girl? I ended up getting attached to Okyuu as Best Girl and nothing's changing that at this point but Aether was one of the girls I was originally hoping to run into the most and I've been waiting to look at her stuff for when I finally found the 'original' one. Doesn't this game have no actual death in it? Is this something that sounds better in the bizarro context of this setting or just sounds worse than it actually is?
>>1956671no lol she burns him to death as part of her idol performance and it’s made clear when she brings him back to life that it was an agonizingly painful way to die and he absolutely remembers the experience and understandably is not happy about it. it’s kind of surprising since she’s the first girl and played such a big part in saving him so I never really got why they had her do that. I don’t know if he got killed by anyone else, but that’s the only time I can remember where he just straight up dies.it’s still pretty funny though. she gets indignant about it.
>go read it myself>Atheel (or Aether, or Atelle, I'll go with Atheel for now) asks him to come to the mountain where she's rehearsing so she can consult with him about something>As a "Phoenix Idol" she wants to promote herself by focusing on how she's a Phoenix>I love it when Monster Girls are aware of their unique and special talents and actively make use of them for EXACTLY this kind of thing, to do something special that nobody else would be able to do, so that sounds perfectly fine by me>This is part of why I love Okyuu so much in the first place even for just how brilliantly ingenious her mundane application of all her absurd biology is>But the problem is that Atheel believes that for the performance they have planned so far, the "Phoenix Girl-ness" (that's how she says it) is still lacking>So she asks Master what he thinks the #1 Defining Trait of a Phoenix is>"uh, is it healing?">No, it's Reincarnation clearly>So she wants to work that into her next performance>"But how?">Why I'll light a fire on the stage and rise from the flames a newly reincarnated 'me' of course!>Since Atheel has done this many times and also keeps her memories every time, there isn't a risk of identity/memory loss, or sense of death>But Master panics and shoots it down>Presumably he doesn't know that, so he's just worried he'll lose the Atheel that he knows>So she decides to rethink it since Master mentioned the healing part>Which then leads to her deciding to burn and revive him instead>Atheel is so detached from life and death that she doesn't get why he's freaking out>WHY DO I HAVE TO BE BURNED AT THE STAKE>Don't worry Master, I'll be with you!>THAT'S NOT THE POINT>There's absolutely no danger!>I FEEL NOTHING BUT DANGER>Look, the fire's already ready Master! *points to giant pillar of flame*>WHEN DID YOU DO THAT?!>Okay, get in!>She fucking judo flips him into the pillar of flame>GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA>HOT HOT HOT>ATHEEL>HELP ME ATHEEL>ATHEEL>ATHEEEEEEEEEEEEL
>>1957140>He subsequently loses consciousness and wakes up in her arms>But for "some unelaborated reason", they never used this performanceOk on one hand that's some holy shit levels of bird-brainage right there and I'm pretty shocked that they actually did take it that far, but on the other hand, it's fucking hilarious that they DID take it that far, she's still just as sweet and friendly as the other main Phoenix Girl I know (who also has developed a bizarre perception of mortality from being a phoenix) and the only difference is she doesn't ever kill you, and the only reason Atheel winded up killing him in the first place is because he essentially didn't have faith in her reincarnation ability and Master accidentally talked Atheel into killing him and made her think it was HIS idea and he was just nervous about actually following through on it.I don't know how I really feel about it as far as it impacting how I see Atheel herself but while I feel kinda bad for him it's kind of his own fault on this one lmao
You guys never questioned why there were so many undead humans on the island before?
>The Shota Hero shows up yet again, good as new>curse you Monster Girl Using Boy!>he has come here for one mission>to use them to make medicine that makes him taller>upon hearing those words the Master BEGS him to tell him how to create the medicine and the monster girls have to pry him back like he's being swayed to the path of evil>>1957245Not really no. Even putting undead humans aside there's plenty of girls who get introduces either nearby or hiding behind corpses. Undeniably there's a lot of girls who killed people at some point. It's just not normally shown, and everyone who did die is implied to have just been a poacher (or imperial soldier) so it just kinda never really stands out that much I guess.
>>1957246If there's a thing that I don't like about this game then it's that I wish the MC was a normal dude and not a shota
>>1957247>I wish the MC was a normal dude and not a shotaHonestly I agree, kinda wish the same. I think the scenes I like the most have him more out of focus or obscured in some way so that it's not really noticeable and he looks more 'normal'.
>>1957254Yeah the scenes where you can clearly see that he's just a little guy feel really off-putting while the best ones are the ones where you can't really tell
don't worry guys I've got a solution>Okyuu used talk!>Okyuu used bribe!>Okyuu used negotiate!
>>1956671What if they do port out Suzu to something like TSK but isekai magic makes her human so she fits with the rest of the characters>
>>1957259The Master has mastered strategy, but can he master the art of the deal?! Now he's joined our side, and everyone gets what they want!I'm not sure if this was exactly what he had in mind, but he seems happy enough so it's fine right?
>>1957261That'd be genuinely kino, Suzu suddenly returning to being a normal human for a period of time would honestly be a really cool idea. It also kind of pairs with Oncidium turning from a human into a Monster Girl when she arrived as well.
Ended up dickrolling for LapurumI am weak
Diphora is one of the monmusus that give him a grim reminder that even the monster girls that can act "normal" are still monsters.Also implies he's been cursed/blessed to be immune to aging even through magic chemicals maybe?
>>1957266You're not weak anon. I spent an entire spark's worth of gems on just getting Okyuu duplicates to power her up solely because I like her that much. Sometimes the heart just wants what it wants. May you find your adorable vorpal bunny girl.>>1957268Yeah, his extreme caution makes a lot of sense given how some things turn out.On the subject of that though, honestly I don't really know what the answer is either, but when you take into account that "Shota Matter" is an actual quantifiable elemental force in this world with real tangible effects that Lico has dedicated herself to the research of, and Master's shotamatter energy levels are powerful enough to exorcise demons (which I think has happened at least twice) I've come to assume the reason is because he's just possessed of such potent divine shota energy particles that he's basically immune to all manner of dark and/or unholy things. He can't be cursed by the tablet or by Diforia because he's simply too pure.
>>1957271The vorpal bunny girl is Lapinus
>>1957272o-oh......i thought that was just a different possible way to read the name until i checked the spelling.....sorry anonwhich one is lapurum again?
>>1957274
>>1957275>I even remembered her specifically for being the Dwarf-In-The-Flask Homunculus who became an avid researcher for the effects of chocolate on the body and for her starring role in the previous year's Valentine's Event with the chocolate meteors>Even talked about her in a prior thread when I managed to somehow randomly luck pull her out of nowhere, because the idea of a genuine chocologist is intrinsically hilarious to me>I still somehow forgot her fucking namebird brained please understand
>>1957277>trust me I need to eat all of this chocolate, it's for my job
>Wanted to use dragon girl on only dragons can sortie stage>Type: Visitort-thanks
Ok I remember her name now, it's Laplum, a play on 'la plume' for a writing quill, because she's a researcher.It's related to birds, so I can remember it!
>>1957281collab characters dont get to count as anything; prior to this one they didn't even have the visitor tag and it was just nothingalas
Vivi's throwing out italian words like it's gonna appeal to me........buono
>>1957246wasn't this guy turned into a giant dildo or somethingi thought he and the other guy got hard bad ended and just weren't gonna show up again
Does this game do paid only units often?
>>1957312Some of those dungeons definitely seem like they're meant to happen, because they get referenced directly multiple times, but others are completely ignored and even the same characters meeting each other again elicits zero reaction. I think they just pick and choose what they want to keep.
>>1957323paid costumes for pre-existing ones are more common
>>1957347Was thinking of collecting all versions of a character but then saw one of them is paid only and got sad
>>1957382>Was thinking of collecting all versions of a character but then saw one of them is paid only and got sadGod knows I know the feeling anon, I'm assuming a lot of us do. I'm praying that if any of my favorite girls ever get anything alt in the future my one and only wish is that it's not paygated, I don't care what it is, I will take literally ANYTHING but please just do not make it paid.
>>1957382>>1957389Going to get a super meta unit of your favorite with excellent scenes but is gated behind a FKG style paid gacha

>>1957636>Proof of FriendshipSo, that's the REAL reason they were recruited after all!
If you ever wonder why there's inconsistencies it's because there are multiple writers. Apparently this event was written by the main story writer because there was more long narration text that goes into detail.
>>1957885I thought them having multiple writers was obvious, that just happens with a lot of stuff. the main story writer's definitely the best one though.

I'm hoping for a Girtablullu, just please be a cool part-bird girl
>>1960548>She's not a Girtablullu based on the bird-scorpion iconography of them>She's instead the Mushussu, which is a different Mesopotamian Monster, which has a snake-tailThey cut it off so I can't tell if her tail is bladed or has a stinger yet, but the silhouette definitely looked like a scorpion's tail and it's odd if they gave it one since the Mushussu is supposed to be very serpentine and had a distinct snake-like tail or just an outright snake as the tail. I can't tell if she has wings either, or if that's just her clothes. Either way, I guess I was close? I'll probably pass and keep saving though.
Do birds lay eggs?
>>1961016>t.
>>1961025Think about itThey have humanoid bodies so do they give birth like humans or do they lay eggs to reproduce?
>>1961016>>1961039You know humorously I've had this conversation at least two times before, but while the Harpies involved in those discussions simply told and informed you that they laid eggs, for some (rather bizarre) reason on the island they actually have numerous scenes where the focus is on the harpy or bird girl laying an egg or multiple eggs. I was bemused the first time it happened since it played out more like a doctor helping a patient with a medical issue (egg is stuck, I need help to get it out) but then by the third or fourth time it turned out to be the direction that a scene involving a bird girl was going in I was just baffled that they were so many of them and almost all of them had an identical set-up. whoever wrote the end of Perili's second scene should get smacked by her watermelon-exploding club, it was needlessly mean. Poor girl. It's not even erotic, or at least not any of the times they did it. It's a bit of an awkward mood killer for one scene I did like and then a weird physical examination for the others. Like some kind of episode of Monmusu MD.If you're curious about the logistics specifically, then just remember Ostriches exist. Ostriches are HUGE, the largest extant birds, and yet Ostrich chicks on average hatch only ten inches tall before rapidly growing in size over their first couple of years. Ostrich eggs, the largest extant egg among birds, are also the smallest egg-to-bird size ratio as they're roughly the size of an open hand.Given adult Ostriches are generally larger than the average adult Harpy is often depicted at, since Harpies need to be relatively lightweight in order to fly, I've always believed that Harpy Eggs would generally be smaller than an Ostrich Egg, and if it's smaller than an Ostrich Egg then it's reasonable to see how one would be able to lay them.the egg sizes here are inconsistent at best and make no sense though, which also bothers me about them.
Are there still normal animals in the island? Such as actual cows or real chicken instead of cowgirls and chicken girls
>>1961064well "weird" isn't quite right maybe; I found Fermi's first scene to be intriguing and interesting, but for absolutely ZERO reasons related to sexual action or eroticism. I genuinely just like Monster Girl biology, so the whole thing playing out like a medical tape on her Harpy biology was just kind of enjoyable purely for the study of it, and not it being like some kind of sex thing. It's also the only one I feel like did the "egg laying" part in a way that didn't look really awkward somehow.Actually now that I'm thinking about it, I think part of the reason so many of these look awkward to me is, in a way, related to at least one of the reason why I ended up not really getting that invested in a lot of the 'bird girls'; I think they just didn't really give enough bird traits to them. Almost all of them have human arms and then wings on the back or sides, which kind of detracts from the Harpy/Bird-aspect and often makes them cluttered; I can only really recall Atheel Waemawa and Fermi (and the simurgh i can't remember the name of) having actual wing arms that didn't look like cosplay.A lot of them also lack a lot of feathers, and almost all of them have completely bare (literal chicken) legs devoid of any covering, to the point it makes the girl look oddly naked and the talons out of place, like they're just on a shaved stump that abruptly narrows down into the bird part. Some of them don't even look like they have an actual bird leg; the "talon" is drawn more like a decorative shoe at the end of a normal un-scaled human leg. And some of them don't even have talons at all! They just have full human legs, and at that point when you're without feathers or talons or etc then that's just a human girl with wings on her back like a serial number was filed off. Fermi's one of the only ones who actually HAS bird legs with feathers on them, but she still barely has any leg feathers.
>>1961097Yeah that's probably part of it at least, I tend to only really get attached to girls I get early on and then get invested in, but even then I got summer Atheel early on and yet I never really got that invested or attached to her. I wonder why. Maybe she just didn't feel that memorable?Or maybe I like Harpies so much that my standards have just been set really high at this point.Hmmm. I still like a large number of the Harpy/Bird-Girls, at least. I guess it's just one of a few reasons.>>1961093They have Holsteins, remember? They're cows, they're even named after one of the most famous dairy breeds. it's implied they either eat or molest people but it's dropped in a single line and then deliberately never brought up again as a joke. They're also shown to have chickens and other normal animals, and some fantastical animals (dogs/cats/snakes/birds/crabs/sharks/etc).
man it feels like this valentines banner has lasted for fucking everI want to roll for a new girl already
The kumafes girls seem to have made my newbie experience too easy in this game.Pressing Mahamut active solves like 99% of the maps I've played so far since now the entire map is just gone and Higanbana shreds whatever is left. Mahamut's iron balls also hit for a ton and honestly the rest of my box of characters feels bad compared to these two.
>>1960873What in the world is a Mushussu?
>>1961344In a lot of games, Collaboration Characters tend to be a lot more powerful than the usual balance, and I've seen a lot of people prior complaining that they feel like a lot of the collaboration characters have started to outshine the island's own residents. So it's very understandable if that ended up being the case. You could always bench one or both of them if you want to, and see if you enjoy it more that way. I think the early game isn't too difficult, but some of the later stuff can be really enjoyable and fun challenge if you tackle it the way the devs had intended you to, and it's honestly a lot more fun and intricate than I ever expected it to be.>>1961488The Mushussu (as it's an individual), is a babylonian dragon vanquished by Marduk (the patron being worshipped in babylon) who thereafter became his servant and a symbol for him in general. It's a pretty bizarre amalgamation of various stitched together body parts; it has the forearms of a lion, the hindlegs of an eagle, a long neck and elongated snake-like head with two curved horns wearing either a crest or crown, and a lithe serpentine tail that either tapers into a point or is simply another snake. It's main body is scaled (apparently sometimes described as "the torso of a fish"), and some depictions occasionally showed it as having bird-like wings as well.
>>1961667>You could always bench one or both of them if you want to, and see if you enjoy it more that wayIt's less that it makes the game not fun and more that I worry about the future since this is going to be the measuring stick I'll be using for future units going forward.Also, when can I expect reruns for certain characters? I like Lulu's design a lot and she's fun to play too so I'd love to roll for her but no idea when they rerun certain characters.
>>1961344Power creep has been going wild lately.Nonoa and Mamu feels like they're about to bring in the age of Ephtra here
>>1961679>the age of Ephtra herewhats that
>>1961667ok well actually a quick addendum to that>a lot of overseas* players prior complaining on it's wiki*I think there's only one or two anons in these threads who actually care to that extent, but I definitely saw a lot of japanese fans bemoaning how they felt like the girls they cared about were being 'replaced'. granted on one hand around the time I saw most of those comments they later on made Anniversary!Raikon who's the single strongest character in the game, but on the other hand she's also cash gated while the majority of worthwhile collab characters just have to be rolled for. I still think there's plenty of OG Girls who have plenty of strength and fighting power to stand out at least. Okyuu's basically solo'd several bosses at this point, and in three cases was literally the sole individual delivering DPS to them and she's pretty awesome.>>1961673>It's less that it makes the game not fun and more that I worry about the future since this is going to be the measuring stick I'll be using for future units going forward.In all fairness besides the "I want the resident/past characters to not get made obsolete by limited time collabs" point that's the other main complaint I generally see regarding them, but that one isn't limited to collaboration characters either, it's been coming up for newer girls in general. So it's understandable to have that kind of worry, yeah.>when can I expect reruns for certain charactersI asked the same thing when I first joined and I'll just tell you what I was told in turn, which is "No idea, old characters don't get reruns very often nowdays". All of the OG Girls who I grew to love and really really wanted I ended up luck pulling with based kraken riggingthe Heart of the Monster Girls, except for Atheel who I still haven't gotten. Of those girls the only one who had a rerun was Okyuu herself as part of a group banner a while back.
>>1961685>I asked the same thing when I first joined and I'll just tell you what I was told in turn, which is "No idea, old characters don't get reruns very often nowdays"That's a shame, I wanted to roll for the magical girl Lulu because she's cute and I think it's funny that she gets a gigantic laser that spans the entire screen. I saw that she has a more recent warrior version but it's both paid and it feels worse to use.
>>1961679Yeah. Hilariously it's actually Nonoa and not Anni!Raikon I seen most commonly complained about for that despite Nonoa just being broken for her ridiculous buffing, to the point I've seen at least five different users who confessed that they decided to just perma-bench her because they thought she made everything too easy. I've even seen some lamenting that the game is "solved" because of these overpowered characters.Even though, you know, you could just NOT buy them. Since those two are cashgated, after all. I hope no girl I like gets cashgated or given something broken to that degree but you still aren't required to use them. You can always just stick to the more balanced girls.>>1961673Oh right, I think it's important to ask which one of Lulu's costumes you're talking about now that I think about it.The Original Lulu falls into the "will get a rerun once in a blue moon" category, but if you're referring to the magical girl version of her that shoots laser beams then that's her school costume, and that one gets periodically rerun when they rerun school stuff, so you'll have a better chance of being able to find her without needing to hope and pray on luck-pulling her. I managed to luck into the original one at least. I'm not attracted to her, but I do think she's a very cute carbuncle. She's also just a neat healer, too.
>>1961690>magical girl LuluOk good to clear that up, you'll be more likely to find her at least compared to the original Lulu, since she'll get rerun whenever they rerun the other school alts. It's like how SS!Okyuu is more easily obtainable than the original Okyuu is, because she's always rerun with the summer batches. I guess appropriately both of them are also stronger than the original versions as well since they're both incredible DPS, even if their original selves are still pretty solid in their own ways.>>1961680I think he's referring to how MW Aigis got powercrept to oblivion; having played Aigis he's not kidding either as I only started at the end of last month and already got to the endgame content and it's still pretty much a cakewalk to clear them.
>>1961690>paid and feels worse to use.it's just not fair, man
>>1961692>>1961685The skill disparity between units feels weird honestly. You have characters where their skill is stuff like "Increase attack and HP for X seconds and maybe increase attack speed" that feel very vanilla then there's other units that suddenly turn into multi-hitters, deal AOE damage, get a stat boost, a massive range increase and some other good stuff buff thrown on top all in one skill.It's like they decided some units aren't allowed to be good while others get literally everything.
>>1961697Paid + Broken might be even worse since you'd feel bad at being locked out of a fun version of your favorite.
>>1961701I think that's just an unavoidable consequence of the game by design having to add new characters and older characters being balanced with a lower scale in mind. It's not even just their skills, this extends to the traits. In general this just happens in any game that goes on for long enough. Some examples are more extreme than others, but after a certain point the criteria for creation just shifts to something radically different from it's origin.That being said however there's a lot of girls who have seemingly complicated traits or skills that in-practice are actually pretty simple and fun in their own unique ways. And some of those girls are still top tier and incredibly fun to use. But there is an uptrend recently of more and more girls who have trait/skill combinations that instead of just doing one or a few things to give them a niche, they instead do pretty much everything in one.>>1961703NTA but I think "Paid" is just painful and unfortunate regardless of how the girl turns out. Especially if you like how the power-up looks.
>>1961710Yeah, paid is fucked either way but paid+good makes you sad but feel somewhat tempted to buy while paid+bad makes you just sad.
Also while on the subject of this I figured I'd mention that having actually tried SS!Drifnela's EX II now out of curiosity, it ironically doesn't feel anywhere near as overpowered as it was described to me as, because every time I used her 90% of the enemies just walk through the fire patches while only taking some chip damage off of it; she wasn't even able to deal significant damage to the restoration golems and the flying ones pretty much ignored them entirely, and she got killed pretty quickly when she couldn't deal with the poachers or the flying machines because the actual damage of her arrows themselves just isn't very good. On the maps where I used her, her range wasn't large enough to let her shoot the enemies being blocked at the bottlenecks without getting swiftly killed in retaliation either. When she was able to, she did leave a couple of patches that quickly killed several poachers but she immediately got nailed by the archers and didn't make a big dent in their numbers. SS!Okyuu's new EX II at that time was able to provide the AoE needed to clean out the poacher mob while staying out of their range, and I think I just ended up using Suzu and Monk Bombs to deal with the other side.So I think she's honestly not as bad of an example of powercreep as some have made her out to be. It just depends on if the map will let her position in a way that lets her set them up at a bottleneck presumably, and otherwise if you can't immobilize enemies during her skill then the only things she can really threaten are enemies that seldom move at all, which is why she just melts the bosses that lack physical resilience. She's not really that broken, she's just extremely powerful in specific situations and niche outside of them.
>>1961711That's fair, yeah.....alas........
yeah she has a scorpion tail, bizarre. the thing clearly always has a snake tail, so if you're going to go with a hyper-specific chimera I'm not sure why they'd change that part. Maybe they wanted to hybridize the thing with the scorpion-men?
I really, really love Waemawa's design and outfit, it's pretty peak. She's also hilarious in every scene she's in too. Plus she actually does have the proper bird legs. If she just had some feathers on her legs she'd be perfect but I still really like her either way. If I'd gotten her sooner there's a good chance I'd have gotten attached to her over Okyuu.But maybe not. Okyuu's just special. Also this game is letting me fulfill the Sea Dweller Only Run I always wanted to do but never actually did and Kansai Kino is exceedingly hard to beat. But Authentic Thunderbirb comes dang close.
Wow, the Chupina machine gun made me turn off the game's audio.
>Charis finally gets to show up again>She's trying to imitate the speech mannerisms of all the older girl's teasing behaviors but she can't pull it off>"Piii...... uh, uhhmmm......!">"I, I'm here too......you know~......?">It turns out the entire second training match this time isn't (just) for (you); it's actually for Charis herself, because the 'motherly' Monster Girls are trying to teach her how to be seductive and confidentI can't help but feel like this is unusually specific and also oddly directed at meis it because I stopped finding her attractive despite still really liking her a lot, and continuing to keep her around as one of my favorites? I can't help it her outfit is just a huge turn off. She looks like she's naked and shivering the poor girl, I just want to give her some clothes.I feel like an asshole now.
>>1962223I think Charis is pretty cute and attractive in both her designs. The contrast of the extremely lewd outfit and her shy appearance just makes her more endearing to me, like a shy girl trying too hard to be seductive.
>>1962228That's because she is very cute, and I do think she's adorable. I just don't see her in 'that way' anymore, is all, I guess. I'm not sure if it's just the outfit or if there's anything else that's why. But she's still one of my favorites and looking at her just makes me want to comfort her. Plus she's been a huge help, once Charis unlocked her EX II Skill (which is obtained from these Ranchiki Festival Events) it allowed her what she needed to become a surprisingly huge source of damage since it gives her a ranged AoE magic attack that can petrify things and spike her 2.5x damage conditional. I've seen her hit over 300,000 on individual attacks before and it's still pretty awesome when she does. I wish she got more screentime, like other girls have.
I decided to take all the tags (Except the element ones) on the first stage because I wanted a challenge and to my surprise I was actually able to clear. Hard as balls but doable, just the way I like it.What is worth picking up from this shop anyway or what is good?
>>1962237>Hard as balls but doable, just the way I like it.Based, congrats anon. Man of good taste.The EX II Skills you want to aim for depend on the girls you actually have, but if there's any I'd point to for "get this first" then it's Hariella's (the welfare harpy queen from the event archive) for just the sheer usefulness and practically of it and the options it can open up if you want to use it. For it's duration it lets you redeploy any girl within 12 seconds after retreating them and gives a near-full refund for their cost, and this includes Hariella herself so you can do a lot with it. At the bare minimum, if your team is about to get wiped by a boss attack or enemy flood, she basically acts as a safety net to let everyone come back quickly. But you can also do things like use it to turn Airen into a bomber plane by having her just airdrop everything constantly.If you do like Charis then she really does need her EX II skill a lot, too. The difference between how she feels with and without it is like night and day.
When is the next batch of limited stuff? TD fes? Anniversary? Need to roll for more strong characters
>>1962269Unless another collaboration happens, the next anniversary will be coming up in a couple months. TD Festival will be after that. They're currently rerunning the Half-Anniversary awakened girls however if you want to roll for any of them. The Banner they're rerunning them on is also a 'pick up' banner where you can choose the one who has the highest chance to appear if there's one you are in particular.Anni!Waemawa and Anni!Velatu are extremely powerful but not to the point of being broken (although Velatu comes pretty close), Anni!Petra is "decent" on a mechanical level but objectively one of the best team fillers in the game purely because she takes up no deploy slots as a bard and universally buffs every single character's health and attack just from being organized into the team, Anni!Tellu is mediocre, and Anni!Franci is tragically worse than her original version due to how the gimmick she was built around works when compared to how normal Franci's weapon can make her pretty bullshit when she's buffed enough.I've never really used Anni!Mauro, and I don't really know how good she actually is. So I don't feel like I can comment on her.
>testing his skills again, the monmusu lending their chest for battle this time is Muruazar>quite boisterous in nature, looking at MC's smooth hands, she asks if he's the ancient Shotamer prince>as MC asks what a Shotamer is, Vivi tells Muruazar to not eat MC's arm which alarms him>Tena and Wiwi show up, seemingly not for Ranchiki, but because Muruazar is the head of a famous doujin circle and wondering if this is where the OneeShota convention is today>Muruazar does not want the fact she's running a doujin circle to get out, so she tries shushing them and rushing into the Ranchiki battle before MC can ask more questions>finishing the battle, Muruazar wants to continue the training, but Wiwi and Tena are ready to start the doujin event and Muruazar shiftily joins them>MC got an energetic vibe from her, but he's not so dim to not realize what's going on as Vivi mentions having the gestapo keep their eye on the contents of their publications

Personally, i'm going to put the cock in cockatrice.
>>1962413Fun Fact!Did you know that when it comes to the fables of Cockatrices, one of the few weaknesses that they were claimed to have was that, should a Cockatrice ever hear the crowing of a Rooster, it would drop dead on the spot? It's true!When Charis asks the Master to put his dick in her to help her get out an egg that's stuck, it also turns out that Charis is a super virgin who's particularly more vulnerable to pleasure and the sensations of sex compared to other monster girl, to the point she completely forgets the reason she asked for it in the first place.She is literally weak to cock.
>>1962471I don't understand how those scenes work honestly, the "Dick me to get this egg out" though maybe I'm just not cut out to be a Monster veterinarian.
>>1962486>I don't understand how the "Dick me to get this egg out" worksIt doesn't.The reason I singled out Fermi's situation as being the only one that made logical sense for that purpose and also feeling like a medical exam is because that's not what actually happens in it; Fermi comes up to the Master and informs him that she needs help to get an egg out because while she normally does this just fine on her own, her wing is currently broken and so she's unable to do it herself; the protagonist 'fingers' her while he's trying to use his hands to get it out.When Perili tells him she's going to lay eggs and wants him to 'feel' them, it's made clear pretty quickly that she's telling the truth and is very proud of her eggs because she wants to have children she's also just trying to take advantage of the situation (she tried to bulldoze her way into forcing him to sign a marriage contract right before this and also proposed him signing with his blood) and leglocks him when he tries to pull out. they're unfertilized, and she only finds this out after finally laying them and then setting up a nursery and then waiting for them to hatch. she's mentioned to have gotten very depressed over this and it's never brought up again. I have no idea who's idea it was to end a scene with what feels like a bird miscarriage but it was needlessly cruel.By contrast if I'm remembering correctly Charis originally just had trouble laying eggs in the first place and the protagonist got Fermi to help her in his stead because he didn't know what he was supposed to do. She just comes back later when there's still a couple left and she can't find Fermi, and "idk just use your dick to scrape them out i guess?" is the best idea she can come up with because of porn logic reasons.the egg laying itself isn't sexy, in any case. I just find the stealth pun associated with charis to be kinda funny. the scene is good besides the poor justification and that one part.
I always love when these come around they're just so fun.
>>1962629Even Okyuu got to contribute a lot more this time beyond just raking in money, she was a massive wall and even took down a lot of minions as well as Leita! Also since I lack a lot of physical damage for water characters (especially for range) I gave SS!Okyuu the pierce damage subskill to go with octoshot and she actually contributed a significant amount of DPS as a result despite the -50% magic damage penalty, she even took down several of the other characters too and sniped Damstor out of the sky before she could get too far.Although the main contributor here was really Mystrana for her absurdly powerful whirlpool combo helping to deal with a lot of the mobs as well as the two starting enemies and then Yura the Hydra, because I just placed her down and then uses her EX II and she obliterated Titania, Belphagor and the Shadow Lantern and then moved her to deal with Thiele and pretty much everything else that entered her vicinity when she used it.For that one anon who just started and also pulled Yura consider picking her EX II up, since you can use her. Her normal skill is better for single target DPS but the EX II one buffs her block count to take advantage of her traits, gives her attacks HP scaling and has her shoot out rapid fire AOEs in quick succession, and it let her clean house here.
Do mc gets zero action in main story sex scenes? Lame and gay if so.
>>1963141Dont even feel like playing after chapter 3 it was THAT dogshit, please tell me it gets better.
>>1963141RinCHADS stay winning
>>1963141>Does mc gets zero action in main story sex scenes?yesand yes the vivi enforced mandatory rape is also easily the worst part of the entire thing, even in the cases where the girl herself isn't actually the one doing it they're still total garbage>>1963150you can just play the Main Story on the SFW version of the game, where it will skip all of the scenes by default so you never even have to bother with them.if you choose to ignore this piece of advice and decide to continue playing the main story on the NSFW version: no, it does not get better.
>Vivi enforced mandatory rapeAm I raping vivi or is she raping me? Either way, that's hot.
>>1963268>am I raping vivi or is she raping meit's neither of those; instead of just allowing the defenders to either kill invaders or beat them up and throw them off the island, vivi instead enforced 'punishment' in the sense of "x monster girl is going to either rape y antagonist or put y antagonist into a situation where something else will rape them", and there's an emphasis on it being intentionally as painful and unpleasant as possible. Vivi thinks this is somehow morally superior to just killing/detaining people and thinks it will either humble enemies or deter them from coming back. Instead it's proven multiple times that this just makes things astronomically worse for their island because of how much is galvanizes not only the victim's hatred but the hatred of their allies and turns what was originally just a job into a personal vendetta, in some cases making them far more dangerous than they would've been if they just didn't do this to them. A lot of the poachers go from "I'm capturing this girl for money" to "I'm going to kill every single girl on this island". It's even noted how some had their lives ruined, which I wouldn't think the game would feel the need to point out. I'm forced to assume this is some kind of retarded revenge fetish thing. It's really Vivi trying to moralize and justify it that makes me dislike her for her part in it though; it's one thing to have a porn excuse in a porn game to justify sex scenes taking place, it's another to try and grandstand over them. She stops doing this, and also stops having a part in them entirely after a certain point however, and eventually the antagonist rape scenes do taper off into not involving her/'punishment' at all (although they do still happen in the main story).she does have sex scenes but they're log-in day dependent.
truly, it all comes back to the volcano.
>>1963287I'm not the anon who was complaining, I'm just horny for vivi and want to engage in some friendly cum inflation.
>>1963292oh, well that's fair thenI just generally try to ignore that stuff since it's really the one and only thing I don't like about the game, and also the only thing I don't like about Vivi either since she's pretty great otherwise, so I just play on the version without it and it solves the problem entirely.>horny for viviYou will get your first scene with her at 183 Login Days.
>>1963303It's probably just porn logic and no real need to think about it too deeply. Writers/Devs likely thought "How can we insert porn scenes into main story" and came up with that.Ye olde DMM games like Kamihime, Magicami and others that aren't at the top of my mind right now used to think people wanted NTR and Rape in their porn games so they had a lot of hardcore or non-consensual sex in their game because they thought it was what players wanted. Turns out, it was not what players wanted at all and there was a push to move away from them or completely remove it/scrub it from the game like Kamihime did so the "hehe lets rape these adventurers hehe" scenes are likely just a relic from that era.
>>1963307I agree it's porn logic, and just an excuse used to insert something in that they then dialed back on after people didn't like it. The point I was trying to make was that their attempt to try and not make it seem like pure porn logic, and instead have Vivi or the narration start attempting to justify it a few times just makes it look a lot worse than it would have been otherwise. If they had set them up differently, a lot of them probably wouldn't have come across as poorly.Like it's one thing if you're going to do it, but it's another thing if you do it while claiming a moral high ground, you know? Although like I said before, they did also stop doing that as well, so this isn't an issue anymore. And thankfully you can pretty much disable them anyways. Since the newer ones are set up differently now, I think that's the reason why no one really takes issue with those ones. It's only ever the early scenes I see people complaining about.
>>1963330Well, games like Kamihime took it a step further and fully removed/rewrote those scenes to distance themselves from that sort of stuff. Surprised they didn't do the same here after people complained but it's not like every game went with the full removal anyway.
>>1963267I really didnt care about futas having sex with others because i wasnt interested in her, for that female knight in chapter 3 was low key looking forward for some decent fap material just to get that gross scene kek, and now you are telling my fav girl vivi is also a slut that has sex with others, yeah im done thanks for warning tho i would have had even bigger melty if i didnt see this coming. Im just going to stick with vns gachas are way to unpredictable.
>>1963336>vivi is also a slut that has sex with othershuh no i'm pretty sure she doesn't fuck anyone did you not read a single word of the reply chain at all
>>1963292Alright but the one being inflated is (You)
>>1963337I see what you meant idk if its just futas raping them i can overlook it, or something along of the lines neru? Or tentacle girl forgot her name first h scene then its excusable.
>>1963338But I don't want sex with the futa orcs, I want to inflate Vivi until she's leaking cum from every orifice. Fairy inflation is extremely hot and this is why they should lock me up with all the fairy girls in the game.
>>1963336at the very least it's heavily implied what happened to that knight was just a dream, and she wasn't actually raped: she just knocked herself out on accident and had a dream about it. I didn't watch the scene but I still saw the part where she wakes up and realizes she's actually fine and unharmed, and another anon informed me that's also how it played out too.>vivi is also a slut that has sex with othersthat's not what I said at allI said Vivi originally either forced or encouraged others to rape the enemy characters, or had them put those enemies into situations where something else raped them instead (goblin gang rape/orc gang rape/tentacle gang rape/etc), and then they dropped this from the event stories and toned them back everywhere else. A lot of the dungeon scenes don't get referenced again and seem to be ignored, while it's only really the early/original ones that got brought up again and thus seem canon, and Vivi stops being involved in the punishment scenes after the fifth chapter.Vivi herself does not rape anyone at all. The only character she has sexual interactions with is the Master.>>1963342>futa orcsI didn't watch it but in the scene leading up to it Podel's talking to the male orcs, like the giant pig-faced male orcs you see in the game and that she summons with her skill. I'm pretty sure it was probably those guys.
Magicami actually tried to stop the NTR scenes you get from beating their Towers so they could focus on collabs they were having like every other month but the backlash was so huge they apologized and continued making them.Really goes to show if you're catering to a niche audience, don't abandon them.
>>1963367Magicami kinda like, died though. So maybe the developers had good reasons for wanting to stop them? They had a collab with TSK and the entire thing was just pure love vanilla with zero NTR, rape or non-con implications.
>>1963367>>1963370that sounds like it was a vocal minority and the majority just ditched the game for catering to that, which got it killed
>>1963370>zero NTR, rape or non-con implicationsAll four girls' scenes had them in what if bad ends and the Magicami MC gets raped by them or influenced by a very similar virus that infected the monmusus in the main story. The villain implies that if she won she would have made the TSK girls his sex slaves.And that's why people don't like the idea of TSK collabing with Magicami.
>>1963394Yeah, the collab choice was terrible and honestly really out of touch but knowing that Magicami was the NTR and rape game, they defanged the game quite a bit for their collab with TSK since there was no rape, NTR or anything bad actually happening. I'd imagine the dev must have been a huge fan for them to seek collab with it but it just shows people aren't into that kind of stuff and just want pure love.
>>1963375I'd give them a golf clap for surviving as long as they did.Parent company shutdown in the first year in 2019-2020 so they lost their funding/backing. They rebrand the game to be under their studio.2021 was when they issued the apology for trying to pause NTR scenes.End of 2022 they sell rights over to Exnoa.2023 was when they EoS due to not meeting Exnoa's expectations.Dead parent company is the mark of death for most games so much of their continued existence for 3 years was from big whales I guess.
>>1963411that's fair
>>1963396I would put on my tinfoil hat and schiz about why they collabed but this is the MonTD thread.
>>1963423Yeah, the current Kumafes stop is Girls Creation so we should be discussing that instead. I wonder why people just don't talk about that game though.
>>1963429Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I'm not interested in any of the other games involved in this, I'm only really interested in MMTD, so I'm just not going to play any of them.
>>1963430The rewards are really good though and all you have to do is log into them once a day for 7 days, not even play them.And if you do bother playing them, you might discover a new game you like which is the entire intention of Kumafes.
>>1963432I don't actually remember what the rewards are, what are they again?in all fairness part of the reason is because I just have a lot of things I'm trying to do already, so I just really haven't thought about it.
I'm going to pull for these new aliens!
>Miteras EX2 is a buff equal to 15% of her max HPEven at a minimally invested Miteras with only like 5k HP, that's a 750 stat buff on top of the normal Shaman buff. Ville's EX2 is also pretty amazing being a 15 second instant that triples her attack buff and lets it stack to +150%. Seems they took off the limiters for newbie buff economy.
>>1963664And forgot pic. 20k HP is about the limit if you mostly stack everything in a stacked fire squad with 10-15k HP being more likely for more average investment.
>>1963664>>1963665probably won't get Miteras unless I get lucky with one of those free point lotteries, but I'm glad Ville got a good one since I saw her new instant and could tell it was a huge upgrade. Combined with her weapon also providing a small damage buff and she seems to be in a good place now.
>>1963649There's gotta be better way to design a robot girl than whatever this is...
>>1963649I cannot lie man that walker mech looks absolutely SICK, unironically the coolest design among the aliens the thing looks like a total robro>>1963867I don't think that robot girl looks that bad, I think her legs are pretty well detailed and the overall design seems fine.Granted, though, I'm not generally into robot girls that much anyways, and my favorite "Robot" Girl from anything in general is already in this game and got a slick makeover here too and getting to finally use her a lot again has been really really nice for me.Brynhildr is simply peak robot girl design. Her getting to use the Anti-Particle Railgun by transforming her right arm into it is also awesome.
>>1963876It's a futuristic robot girl tethered to a mech through her back I assume.That's just safe and lazy. They could've made her like an arachne.
>>1963649I like the slime girl thing on the right
>>1963885I'm willing to bet you that she's not tethered to the mech and the mech is probably just a set-piece in her background. Most of the other alien girls have similar things in their backdrops, like spaceships or minions or robots. I'd be surprised if you actually got to deploy a token version of that robot mech.I admit that since I'm not really someone who has a particular focus on robot girls though, I'm probably not the best one to judge on if a robot girl is too "safe" or just normal/average looking, but I will say that I do think making a robot girl with a giant tripod mech design would've been really cool. If she's getting outshone to me by the thing in the background because I think that the walker mech is a better design than she is, that's probably not the best sign.
>>1963867Actually, her name is Tripod. She's pretty canon-compliant with the other martian girls universe!
>>1963929nta but I thought everyone knew about the tripod martian mechs; I think anon's point was just that it would be more interesting if she's a robot girl for her to actually be that mech or at least part of the mech instead of her just being a normal robot girl and then there's also the mechIf it's another Lentora situation where the mech is the actual body and the "robot girl" is just so she can do other things like have hands for mundane purposes though that'd be a fine compromise
I decided to go back and get full Level 50 Clears on all of the stages with my Earth Team this time, since I'd finally gotten Lauren and Charis was central to one of them and I thought it'd be fun to use them again. It was a lot of fun.Although it ended up being "Earth Team and then also Okyuu" because I legitimately cannot build up enough resources to clear any of them without her, she's just too good at her job. Even the penalty for not being earth aligned didn't matter at all because Okyuu takes half damage from everything anyways and her kraken tentacle shields ended up being what allowed me to clear the second stage by just keeping the girls from dying during two of the rushes. Everyone did good damage though and played their roles very well, and I only needed to throw out kraken tentacles for the second stage, the team could beat the other two on their own just fine. Kinda funny that the third one isn't the hardest stage this time around, since there's a lot of ways around the stealth gimmick, although it's still a really fun stage. Needing to switch between physical and magical damage dealers for the two is also neat.
>>1963649When are we getting the aliens? Any date?
>>1963361Im going to keep playing, blood got to my head adter wasting my pulls before saving to 45k and that dogshit h scene on top of that after i was looking forward decent h scene, anyway its side characters anyway who cares i will just have to lower my expectations from main story.
>>1963973next monday
>>1963994Well, I hope you enjoy the game, but remember you can always just play the main story on the version that skips the scenes unless you really want to see them for some reason. If you're also just really displeased because you were trying to pull a certain girl without saving up to 45k but weren't able to get her, that's very understandable too.Out of curiosity, who was the girl you were hoping to get?>>1963973I'm curious if they'll start another storyline now or just make one-offs since they seem finished with the parasitic lifeform.I'm still kinda fond of that guy, he was fun. If only he read the instruction manual....
>>1963994beware of male goblins in a trenchcoat
>>1964013Valentines banner, couldnt help myself lol.
>>1964016Oh you were the guy who wanted Laplum, yeah. At least she's got her original version, if you have that? Still unfortunate, though. But you'll get another chance eventually, since they don't only do reruns of those in feburary. If you're really into fairy-sized monster girls than I can see why you'd like her.
>>1964047Not that anon but the one who's been making horny posts about the fairy girls and Vivi is a different anon (me). And I did get her but mostly for sex because I don't know what her arrows are going to do other than being master's personal onahole when the other ranged girls are equipped with flamethrowers and lasers.
>>1964052I put her in to dye squares for my fire team so they could get all their "gets x bonus on fire space" conditionals activated. She's capable of doing pretty decent damage spread out across herself and her tokens, and she also has her own conditional bonuses for being on a fire space, namely stealth and halved skill cooldown, so she can spam her skill more consistently and won't be attacked. If you already have something like the KumaFes collab girls then sure she doesn't look as good by comparison, but she is pretty useful.I wouldn't underestimate arrows in general though, Suzu's DPS can get pretty ridiculous with the right set-up for her and Petra's bomb catapult with her EX II does as well.
>>1964061On the topic of powerlevels though, where do alien girls land? Do they tend to be strong? I definitely need more strong girls for my roster and have the gems for it since I'm sitting on a few pities.
>>1964083It varies, wildly. Chupina is one of the most broken characters in the game, and the Reptilian Slayzel is also very strong. Besides them, the Aliens tend to be above average in general, so I would say they're strong, but not as much as a lot of the "normal" Monster Girls. Their gimmick is their skills have five second cooldowns but require costs to activate them in the first place.I will refrain from further comments on chupina.
ok i ended up trying it anywayi wish TD has at least half of what this game's budget seems to be on the surface but i can't really tell how good the game itself is, or how good any of the girls I have are either. I'm just glad I was able to get Airen.
>>1964815I played it a bit. The gameplay seemed okay but it failed to hook me in and I didn't feel like adding it to my usual schedule so I don't plan to log back in now that I accumulated my 7 days.Next up in line is going to be FKG then TSK and finally MTD
>>1964819Meant Mist Train Girls for the last one, my bad.
>>1964819>>1964821that's pretty reasonable; I'll see how it fares for meit's definitely odd and I'll probably not stick around, but the animation is quite nice at least, even if I definitely prefer TD's gameplay>the game actually lists some trivial information about it's girls on their profiles, such as their height and birthday>immediately pull up Airen>birthday>"I don't know">height>"it is average">size>"HOW SHAMELESS!"isn't learning new things about the girls involved part of the fun of a collab? >but she apparently likes the roasted duckwell, that's nice at least
>>1964829actually now that I think about it Airen supposedly existed from around the era of the original boy of genesis so her not actually remembering what day she was specifically created on or even if they had dates back then in the first place makes a lot of senseit's still really funny when put next to everyone else though
>>1964831>>1964829iirc, all the collab characters are like that and get flavor text that basically amounts to "No info" while the GC originals actually have their correct data in there.
>>1964832I looked at the other one and it seems to be just a bunch of [???]s while Airen has specific lines like she's actually answering those questions when asked.
>>1964836Oh, well then. My bad.
>>1964856nah it's fine anon, just think it'll be neat if I get to learn anything new about her or the island
why does van gogh look like that squid v-tuber from hololive

>>1966185so, is she supposed to be some kinda Shoggoth thing? I can't find any source for 'cosmoblob'.>>1965565I've no idea but it is kinda funny; given they're also an artist it's probably deliberate.
>>1966223From the movie The Blob is my guess. That was an alien too.
>>1966240I mean, the NAME maybe, but at least so far she doesn't seem to be anything like the blob at all beyond the surface level "slime monster" descriptor, neither the original nor the nightmarish remake version of it. It would really need to depend on how she's introduced and what she turns out to be like in order to tell. But so far she's covered in tons of eyes and eye-motifs and is making objects out of sludge, so I'd say a Shoggoth is a fair guess. If not that, then I'd just assume that the origin is otherwise a japanese reference that I'm not getting at the moment.If she gets introduced falling from the sky and cracks herself out of a meteorite and immediately glomps onto Master's arm and tries to slime her way up his body to subsume him and otherwise wants to eat everything in general though then that'd be pretty "The Blob" like. I'm very nostalgic for that movie, honestly, with how corny the original one is. Melting Love would be the first thing that comes to my mind for "monster girl inspired by the blob", although I've never played the game it's from.the monstrous version of it's pretty grisly in a cool way though.
Hey anons, would you this thread be interested in having a player representing it in our 4cc team? >if you don't know what i'm talking about https://pastebin.com/nr9ujDMN tldr: it's a cpu vs cpu football cup with teams representing the boards, here is an example how -- a match looks like: https://implying.fun/video/spring24/2024-05-05/?t=2:21:00.0Right now we're taking suggestions for players/music and deciding it all in a roster poll next --friday so let me know if you want someone + a funny nickname being added to it. For --something more general you can let me know in >>1965520 too.
>>1966262Sure thing anon, thank you!I would like to request Okyuu (with or without her tentacles it's kinda understandable if the latter is too much) with her nickname being along the lines of either>It'sa Crazy (current situation)! [Octopus Party for default]>Limit Break Fishing/Kraken Fueled Economy>Wanna buy my Takoyaki?>SHOOTOsince those are jokes I've seen overseas repeatedly regarding her which I also find really funny.
>>1966283Sure thing, i will try to come up with something if she only exists in 2d if she makes it on the polls, except making a new 3d model from scratch, i'm only able to edit these things
>>1966318that's perfectly fair anon, thank you!
I logged in excited to roll for the new girls and realized it's tomorrow and not today
Grabbed Kazune and Lulu's EX II's on the way out while I had the chance, since I'd gotten the ones I wanted at the moment already and I might as well get some for the girls I do have. Also immediately had enough points to get all the friend tickets + weapon upgrade mats, and then used the vivi medals I got from those to buy the awakening boons so Okyuu's now 4/5 because I think it'd be awesome to have her fully awakened if I'm able to get enough medals from all those subskills during the second week of the alien event.That little +10% Tentacle Buff will just be really neat.
>>1950886I also miss Dragalia Lost, one of the best games ever made. My phone still tries to correct lmao to LKai to this day. That new cthulu game feels like it's going to be a lot more rapey based on the art style.
>>1966578Agreed. Loved fighting that bastard. Miss a lot of the bosses in general. I'll find a way to get the fan server to work on my end eventually, hopefully. I did save my savefile from at the time just in case at least.Game was just too good to last.....
I think due to how much drastically shorter it is than the prior story to it, I actually managed to fully translate Airen's little isekai adventure today. Although not much happens; the journey Master had on Gespenst Island was far longer than it was, it's only two episodes and there isn't even any combat or battles, those are solely for the past one or just flavor this time I guess.Although Airen has a one track mind the whole time about 'shamlessness' and everyone else keeps either noting or pointing out how she's the most shameless looking person they've ever seen.The reason why the girl named Anemone being there is probably the funniest part of the whole thing: namely, there isn't one.She just was minding her own business back in her own world and then fell down head first in a flower shop. She has no idea what's going on, has never seen anything bear-related, and is quiet and confused the entire time. When asked why she's spaced out in the flower store she claims she forgot where she was going; when asked what the destination she wanted to go to was she says she doesn't know either.When asked why she agreed to be guided to the art museum even though she had no idea what was going on and had never heard of it before, she pretty much says it was the other person's idea and she was just following her because it seemed like a good idea. She just got roped into modeling for a painting because she's very passive and didn't want to be rude. She (and Airen, presumably) just go home a few days later.the Baby Robot Bear is also rapidly multiplying.
>>1966698Time to play FKG next to continue the story!.If I recall correctly, it should be Monster Musume -> Girls Creation -> Flower Knight Girl -> Twinkle Star Knight -> Mist Train Girls
>>1966713Rembrandt is going with Anemone, intentionally this time even if the bears screwed up their portals again, so she's probably going to show up in it. The artist (Bouguereau IIRC) who was badgering Airen and Anemone wanted to go with Airen, once Airen claimed that she wanted to "show off" the """"art"""" she had learned from her, but Airen immediately told her "no, I will do it on my own" and she threw a fit about how she wanted to see a bunch of sexy beautiful otherworldly women and no one was respecting her, because of the antics she did, and no one wanted to partner up with her or take her along.She also vanished into the portals seemingly by accident but it's not made clear what's gonna happen to her or wherever she'll end up.Had MMTD not been first in line this time she probably would've found a way to clung onto Airen for a ride or something but she's likely going somewhere at least.I'm not very good at trying to summarizing stuff like this though so hopefully the anon who makes the summaries will be able to do one for the event chain if anyone else is curious as to what else happens.
>Chupina rate upSorry guysThis newbie's going to be tempted by promises of power and fall to the dark side
>>1966745Wow I even got a bonus lulu for my troubles, that's really good.
>when deployed, burnt enemies take 2x damageWell, now it's a 3 unit combo faster than I expected. However, at 5.7x damage, Yano and Trivera killed the boss before I could deploy Ruisha the first time.Lich is still awkward though. Needs another damage taken multiplier between 1.15x and 1.25x to hit the sweetspot and I don't think any exist in that range. Though an extra source of current HP damage should also work.
>>1966778Any thoughts on Slime girl and Mecha girl?
>>1966781The blob is the blob. Very obscene HP with HP scaling. The stattest of statsticks. Probably better to give attack subskills as she hits 1000% buff cap trivially. Alien instant skills that aren't Chupina suffer from hyper draining your DP though. 8 DP every 5 seconds should be sustainable, but giving her chargers isn't recommended. She is still mostly just a statstick though, but she can actually cover the map with her skill quite well compared to the other Earth berserkers.Trivera is 2x damage for everybody so long as the enemy can be burnt while also dealing massive damage herself with flame patches. She is fundamentally meta and absolutely insane with NY Yano.
Blob sex
I got 1500 gacha points and don't know what alien to pick. Pic related shows the ones I already have. Please help.
>>1966955Reptilian bow user's the 2nd best Alien
>>1966955>>1966959seconding that anon; Slayzel (the reptilian archer) is the second best alien. If you don't care about power though since you already have so many strong aliens, you could always just pull the one you think looks the best/cutest/etc.
>her skill summons giant sludge jaws that devour her enemies>realize partway through the quest that she's actually getting increasingly bigger the more enemies I allow her to beat>by the end she's nearly the size of Giga-Aqua
Honestly she feels pretty Shoggoth Like to me, especially with how she's introduced and having looked at the Tripod's description of being a former weapon of war who's class managed to suddenly develop sentience and then turned against their Martian masters; the Shoggoths were also a slave race genetically engineered to be beasts of burden for the Elder Things before gradually evolving their own sense of intellect and revolting against them in an uprising, so having a Shoggoth and a Tripod connected by the shared theme of "Rebellious Servants" would make a lot of sense and explain why those two were chosen to be together specifically. Blola is just a slightly toned-down version of them, complete with the myriad eyes and mouths and pseudo-pods.I'm assuming "Cosmoblob" just sounds cuter, and also they just wanted to have a good reason for her to constantly say "bloloblolobloloblolo" as her tic. "Blola" is a cute name for a blob girl.as an added bonus the remake version of The Blob had the plot twist that it was ALSO a genetic experiment created as a biological weapon before getting mutated into The Blob and falling back down to earth, and the remake Blob was SIGNIFICANTLY more nightmarish and visceral than the original version of it could have ever hoped to be and is also very much more "shoggoth-like" than the OG "rolling jello ball" was, so she could very well still be inspired by it too.
>>1966999>Blola discusses how sad she is that everyone else finds her scary, and tries to claim that "absorbing" them would feel good and make them friends>But then remembers that "Asu-Chan" told her that "absorption is forbidden" and starts to get sad because she just wants to be friends, prompting Master to try and explain to her that they can be friends without her melting and eating them>Shortly after they get a space phone call>It's Asterium, the Star Returner and Space Hero:>Asterium: 'I have just detected it, yes! It looks like you were able to meet up with Blola safely, that's good!'>Blola: Oh, this voice is Asu-chan~blo! Asu-chan, it's Blola~!>Asterium: 'Good afternoon! Blola! I'm relieved to see you're doing well, yes!'>Vivi-sama: So the Asu-chan Blola was talking about was Asterium.>Asterium: 'She is a Cosmo Blob Girl. She was once my enemy!'>The other aliens freak out about this because she's apparently from a species infamous for destroying/eating entire planets and stars>Except for Lumyuda, who didn't know this and pretends like she does>It's revealed that Blola is genuinely not malicious and just sees this as "becoming friends", so Asterium didn't know what to do with her in the aftermath since she's not truly "evil">Asterium then explains that ultimately what she decided to do was put her on Gespenst Island and have her be in the Master's care so she could "walk the path of rehabilitation" and be made a better person by him>Master IMMEDIATELY points out that she's dumping all the responsibility for this onto him>Asterium doesn't even deny that, she just reaffirms that Blola isn't evil but instead 'pure and innocent', which is why she wants the Master to teach her right and wrong and thanks him before hanging up the space phone>The aliens inform him that if he messes this up there's a non-zero chance she'll kill the entire planetkek
>>1966778>>1966796Hopefully they don't powercreep any of the other girls too badly at least; the Tripod getting to actually be the Tripod and it being a Rentora situation like I had thought/hoped is pretty awesome and I'm tempted to pull her solely just for that.>>1966747Congrats on Lulu! I'm glad you were able to get her anon!It's the Heart of the Monster Girls!Also while I learned during the last event that the Ultra Warriors turned out to be inspired by the Star-Warriors of the lovecraft mythos, which kinda furthered the shoggoth idea, I then realized that Ultra Warriors from my understanding of Japan's media are a very large and influential series in it's own right and is pretty likely to have it's own large roster list of space monsters to choose from, so I just went ahead and looked up "Ultra Warriors Blob".And it turned up pic related, which even has the exact same color scheme and giant blobulous arm of Blola, so now I believe Blola's true source is actually supposed to be this thing. It'd definitely make a lot of sense, considering she also fought Asterium and also becomes giant, so their fight probably looked exactly like this.
>two events back had Marzea>last event featured someone obsessively stalking Marzea>now the Tripod is hunting her (and the other one) down in order to kill them bothwhy does that one martian have so many stalkers?those eyes are pretty rad ngl
>Hmmmmm>Where could those martians be?
Are there any fast redeploy units in this game? Kinda like Arknights executor class
>>1967124Do you mean "units with faster redeploy times" or "units that let you redeploy other units faster"? There are girls who'd have both. Redeployment reductions do not stack at all either, only the highest one will take effect.However, it's not at all related to their classes, it's really just specific to the girls themselves. The former (naturally shorter redeploy) is usually given to Monks due to their bomb mechanic, either through the base trait, awakening bonuses, or their weapon. Meanwhile there's several girls who will give you reduced redeployment times for the girls on your team, such as the Anse and Atheel who have it as a natural passive, and Hariella's EX II Skill, which automatically affects every girl on the map (including herself) and is the single greatest redeployment tool in the entire game at 80% Redeploy Reduction (so 12 seconds instead of the usual 60) on top of a 90% Cost Return that will give you near-full refunds for every girl you're going to redeploy. Which is why I suggested getting her skill ASAP during the Ranchiki Festival since Hariella is free welfare meaning you will be guaranteed to have her in the first place. Combine that with bards not counting to the deploy limit at higher levels and Hariella's skill working on herself (so she can very easily loop it since the initial cooldown for Azure Revelation is very short) and she's pretty ridiculous.
>>1967143Arknights specifically has an "Executor" class that is colloquially referred to as the "Fast-Redeploy Class" since their redeploy timer is only around 15~ seconds. So their usage is usually just of assassins where you drop them to use their skill and retire them after their skill is over.Aigis characters are dead (or were dead, as far as I recall) if they get killed outside of characters with a passive that specifically allows redeployment so Arknights was the only closest comparison I could think of.
>>1967151The closest equivalent would be monks, but they do not innately have fast redeploy times nor are all of them built around monk bombing; you would have to use one of the girls dedicated specifically for that.So if you're asking if there's a class equivalent to them and not just "can I use someone like that" then the answer is no, there isn't a class that naturally works like that, there's just some girls who do.
>>1967124>>1967143>>1967151You can make any unit in this game a Fast Redeploy by giving them the redeploy reduction subskill(subskills are basically like equipment).
>>1967205that's true, but if you want to use a girl specifically for that job, it's better if they can do it on their own so you can get them subskills that will boost their performance in some capacity.
So many battles, I'm at 20 so far, then there's also the alien only battles.
>Drop Chupina>Press auto>Stage's overI wonder if they'll ever powercreep this
>>1967271she's fundamentally a design mistake so nothing short of stuff like Anni!Raikon is powercreeping her since they're never doing something like her again
>>1967278It's going to be a dark day if she ever gets powercreeped honestly because the power ceiling will get out of this world
Where do you get the Rapid Charger subskill that makes Chupina fire off like a machinegun?
green skin isnt cute
>>1967298Labyrinth challenge subskill craft.
>>1966982>>1966959How is Slayzel vs the blob and the machine?
bros, who is the third strongest alien? do I need a defender for the alien side-story? will it let me in with so few characters? complaining ahead: I got raked over the coals in the gacha. No SSRs in 100 rolls except for the robot. Decided to do two more 10 pulls for the L-ticket and got two more of her and no slime girl. Switched to Chupina on the other banner and went to the first exchange without getting her. Got Chupina, the neet princess, and the reptilian archer, recommended above, then spent one exchange on the slime. Only off-banner I got was a dupe of the cheerleader catoblepas(?), and on the L-ticket I got the xmas version of the girl you unlock from the abyss.
Ohhh blola can block 4 if she blobs 20 enemiesFinally got a tank that can actually tank
>>1967399>who is the third strongest alien?do you really need a third when you have chupa already?
>>1967399>>1967347Tripod might be the third best given how that burn multiplier seems to be but I don't own her and it's a bit early to really say. Blola is just a statstick, but those are plenty fun and good in their own right and she seems to be a really powerful one. It just makes me wish Aqua had an AoE of some kind.
>>1967534Blola so far seems really, really nice to have on my account but it's from a newbie's point of view. If she gets fed then she's truly the stattest stick and can hold anything easily with 4 block and gross stats that didn't need me to roll any limited or paid buffers to get her there.Other than that, I've been trying to collect the subskills that enable the chupina machinegun like pieces of exodia. Took me actually forever to get to Lab 14 for the slate but I finally got it after a series of absolutely bullshit stages.Kinda wish I had gotten Slayzel on the pity I dumped for Alien gacha but I feel like I'd be better served saving a pity for Yokai gacha or half-anni gacha than rolling anymore on alien.
huh the game suddenly went down for maint? wasn't maint supposed to be yesterday?
>>1967539they announced they were fixing several glitches today, so I guess they're doing them now.>>1967538The Labrynth was one of my favorite parts of the game as a new player so I hope you had fun with it; the slab missions are great fun and the varied enemies are really neat too. If you seek to enable the machine gun well I hope you enjoy it. You can always just choose to not use her if you want to experience a boss or stage with more challenge in the future. I gave Fast Charger to Okyuu because it makes her skill instantaneous, so she activates it the moment she gets deployed, which is nice. Or sometimes to SS!Okyuu since her skill rotation is great. Although honestly I think Okyuu ends up being my measuring stick for difficulty, because what I start marking as "needs actual effort" is anything that needs Okyuu to pull out her octoling guns for her to defeat. I've actually gotten her to beat more than I would've expected with some support, which is kinda nice.
>>1967512kinodo you think she can finish the all you can eat buffet?
>>1967539>>1967543Major glitch in purchasing going wrong locking some people out of getting into the game after buying something.
>>1967546That wasn't the only one I noticed today lmao
>>1967538If it's your own Chupina, you can borrow Futa Idols and instead equip her with actual subskills which is her ultimate form. If you give her a barrier on skill use subskill, she essentially becomes invulnerable.
such a shame that the cute monk loli is paid only
>>1967549What do the futa idols do? I think I have an idea of what character that is.Also, when is the Yokai gacha going to roll around again?
>>1967549that's what makes her actually broken, yeah, it's when something else reduces the cooldown for her so she doesn't need to do it herself. enabling her to have other subskills makes her truly obscene, and she's already pretty ridiculous without them.>>1967551>want a character>paid only>tfweven the paid only costumes and subskills kinda bums me out considering how much I really want some of those
>>1967546the ranchiki festival exchange also ended earlier than intended and there's a problem with blola's awakening bonus too
>>1967556>the ranchiki festival exchange also ended earlier than intendedYea I thought it was fucked up that the exchange was gone as soon as maint was done so I guess they're bringing that back?
>>1967554Honestly I don't really plan to make the strongest Chupina or anything, she just seems like the best "Get strong quick" package where I can give her two subskills and destroy content that doesn't allow me to borrow or allow me to borrow something that isn't a Chupina for once.Clearing content is my main priority then I can focus on clearing content with my favorites once I'm strong enough to be able to afford building said favorites.
>>1967562>then I can focus on clearing content with my favorites once I'm strong enough to be able to afford building said favorites.please post when you do, it would be very comfy to seebest of luck anon
Where can I get the gold "Fast Charger" and the "Respawn Time Reduction III" skills?
>>1967573Fast Charger is the gold sub skill drop from Gold Dungeon II, which was last weekend during the festival. If you didn’t get one then you’ll need to wait for GD 1&2 to cycle back around again, which will be a while. The other one you mentioned is from the normal Dungeon 4 iirc.
>>1967577Well fuck.How long is a while?
>>1966730I honestly wasn't planning to follow the collab story due to various reasons, but since you mention it, I'll likely get to it. I'll have to finally learn FKG though.>continuing from last time, we embark to Barberito to investigate the strange ruins suddenly discovered and possibly find the Chin Po>as MC thanks Pinda, Piperi, and Lumyuda for accompanying him, Pinda and Piperi complain about the sudden embarkment as they were here for vacation>it's apparently holiday in space and being grunts, work got pushed onto them>as Vivi ignores Pinda's complaints, we enter the ruins>nothing seems out of the ordinary, no erotic goods either which is making Lumyuda bored>suddenly Piperi notices something she finds quite alarming>a melted wall>and a trail>it seems something extremely dangerous is wandering here quite possibly dissolving us into mush if it touches us>it'd be sexy if it only dissolved clothes though which might make it an erotic good in need of containment>Vivi remarks it'd be best to avoid what is likely the lord of these ruins to fast forward the flag>is there someone there?>a mysterious monmusu is met and introduces herself as Blola>as she innocently peers at MC, suddenly a Gyaru-style alarm triggers due to intruders>Piperi and Pinda are surprised to find one here>their use is a bit controversial as the tone doesn't clearly convey if it's actually an emergency>anyways, we're the intruders it's detecting, so we need to fight off the spawning security, Blola joins us happily>where we learn her primary method of fighting is melting and absorbing things which is quite threatening>while she argues it feels quite good to get absorbed, she remembers Asu-chan told her not to absorb things which leaves her a bit conflicted>we too try to convince her it isn't necessary which also seems to be what Asu-chan had been doing>it seems she'd be quite dangerous if she were left alone, so we decide to bring her with us
>>1967599There's not much to learn about FKG, the game is powercreeped to hell and back in the year 2026 so collab should be extremely easy to clear if you can get your hands on a modern character unless they decide they hate newbies and make collab hard but I don't think they'd do that? Granted, I haven't played FKG in years and am kind of secretly dreading having to start the game from zero because my account for this game is on a different email from my MTD account but it should be a pretty easy and casual game since I don't recall ever struggling with event stuffs.I'm pretty active on TSK so I should be able to give way better advice for that one and have zero experience or knowledge on mist.
>going deeper into the ruins, we get a ring on Lumyuda's beta capsule>it's Asterion who has apparently sensed we've made contact with Blola>Asterion is Asu-chan it seems as Blola happily greets her>Asterion informs us Blola is a Cosmo Blob, one she once fought as an enemy>Piperi and Pinda are heavily alarmed>asking about it, they reveal it is an incredibly fearsome thing known across the galaxy said to devour even stars>Lumyuda did not know, but she doesn't have to reveal that while keeping a poker face>Asterion says to Blola, absorption is a friendly expression with no ill intent or malice, which leaves how to deal with her troubling>then she had an idea>why not have MC rehabilitate her>ignoring MC's tsukkomi about her dumping Blola on us, Asterion continues to explain she isn't evil and is quite pure at heart>so she earnestly begs we teach her right from wrong and ends the call abruptly>the most complete and thorough dumping of one's problems>we have no choice now announces Piperi, lest the whole planet fall to Blola's stomach who is currently being captivated by Lumyuda's tail>before we can ponder too much, the gal-alarm triggers again>but at a bit a distance away, so for somebody else?>clanging approaching them, they come face to face with another monmusu>she remarks disappointingly that there don't seem to be any Martians here despite detecting traces of them>Vivi goes, oh you mean Marzea and Blueberry?>Marzea and Blueberry, searching database, they are targets for elimination>while now exhibiting intense malice, it seems she considers us important witnesses for her search at least rather than also targets>there's still the issue of that alarm and security, but the girl seems to have been dealing with that already quite frequently as she searched this place
>after the very thorough elimination, the girl finally introduces herself, Trivera the Tripod girl>Piperi recognizes Tripods as being weapons of the Martians>yes, but since gaining a sense of self, I have rebelled and now seek to eliminate them all>Pinda very hastily adds we don't have anything to do with them>Trivera has not been able to escape from this place so she proposes a cooperative relationship>Lumyuda very bluntly states so you're lost, how clumsy>clumsy!~ also goes Blola>Pinda yells at them, but Trivera is not offended and explains this place is emitting some energy causing her sensors to malfunction>well that energy is why we're investigating here in the first place>Trivera decides she'll aid it then, so we can then leave afterwards>Vivi makes sure to remind us that while it's probably better to ally for now, she may turn against us due to wanting to eliminate Marzea and Blueberry>>1967605My accounts in MTG, GC, and TSK are all pretty damn built, so it's really only FKG that's any real concern. I quit MTG at least a year ago, GC is maintenance mode, and only also regularly play TSK for the Kumasan games. Mist Train runs on a weird stat grinding system, but frequently gives out special training mission tickets that just let you take units to 80-90% of max stats which are always slightly rising, so it's extremely trivial to get up to speed. It's extremely party building heavy though which is the real challenge.
>as Trivera leads us towards the energy source, she holds us back as she notices somebody>Suzu>it's most likely a clone, but what's a Suzu clone doing down here>Trivera intuits it was made here at this base>base?>yes, while it appears to be an ancient ruin, the technology here is advanced beyond anything normal to this planet>Pinda goes yeah as she notes Gal-Alarms are the latest technology, it's extremely strange they're installed here>before we can continue discussing much further, the Suzu clone that was just waiting gets fed up and attacks>Blola is not allowed to absorb her and doesn't absorb her as we fight it off, great job>progressing deeper, Piperi gets that adventurer's itch as she feels this must be related to Uchu and the Chin Po>Pinda's also feeling a bit itchy now that Piperi mentions it>it seems all the space girls are feeling a weird tingling>while everybody is excited at the prospect of the Chinpo, MC notes that it was thought to be on Gespenst, why would it be here in the Barberito Empire>as he ponders, a shadowy figure passes by mostly unnoticed>MC did though, but despite his claims, nobody else did and Trivera's sensors show no activity>oh...>the erotic goods sensor also isn't getting anything>I wasn't asking you>Lumyuda remarks that anything female must be erotic to a boy like MC>as he protests, he catches another glimpse of the shadowy figure rounding a corner>Piperi and Pinda also spot her and quickly run after>but past the corner is a long straight hall with nowhere to hide>Lumyuda can't even smell her>Blola claims she didn't absorb her>we know you didn't, don't worry>Trivera compares it to a ghost, but she has a hunch it's something else>her sensors truly detected nothing and they can detect ghostly energy>if they can't detect it...>and we cut off to the cliffhanger summary
>>1967614Oh, well FKG shouldn't be hard at all if you're already built in the others. FKG does do paid gachas and paid only characters a TON though so that's going to be very frustrating if you decide to stick around after kumafes.

>>1967533yea, I need to spend these 1500 exchange points, and I'm not interested in any of the other designs. I never rolled before since there was always at least one alien I didn't like. I would like the strongest one for the alien side story missions. also I'm probably still going to keep borrowing chupina for everything since other people have her with 5 unlocks.
>>1967853Having your own Chupina means you can rent the futa idols
was said before but I really wish MC wasn't a shotathe H-scenes where mc looks like a literal kid and the girl towers over him are such a huge turnoff
was said before but I really wish the girls weren't monster girlsthe H-scenes where the girls look like literal animals with claws and scales and fur are such a huge turnoff
>>1968094Monster girls are hot though, the only ones I don't like are the ones where there's no girl left and it's just full monster.
>>1967599Ah, well I guess thank you for deciding to go ahead and do it anon. I've no idea how any of the other games are, shame if they aren't as good or if flower knight got powercrept to oblivion apparently. It's a pretty good summary.Though I just want to note that with regards to >>1967692, Rembrant's studies aren't just "death, it's specifically "the Art of Death", a core facet of their world. Art is filled with the emotions and desires of the Artist who makes it, and if those emotions are overwhelmingly negative or become distorted, then the work of art can transform into an Art of Death, coming to life as a physical manifestation of the negativity that spawned it and often causing harm to others as a result. She's researching it's origin and creation, and says that the other more direct and intentional means that are used to transform artworks into Arts of Death is a blashpemous and heretical action that stains the soul, and she herself is drawn to it.The first Artist of Death enemy encountered is a child riding on a grotesque, frankensteined mishmash and it's very heavily implied that she murdered people and used their corpses to make it, and after she escapes, the next room shows a man being torn to ribbons by a Painting AoD with a description of his organs only barely attached to his mutilated body. That painting then later BEGS TO BE KILLED and is put out of it's misery.The first chapter is following the disappearance of Van Gogh's sister and it's revealed that having noticed Van Gogh's depression and angered that her sister can't find success, she either decided or was convinced to manipulate Gogh's depression to turn her into an Artist of Death because the negativity influencing her work has filled it with such despair that it would become an Art of Death that far surpasses any other. She had already turned one of Gogh's portraits into Art of Death; the suicidal Painting mentioned prior.As an aside this game is shocking dark
You're all being sent to the re-education centers, wan.
>>1968092Agreed, yeah. The ones where he either looks normal or is obscured enough to look normal are the best ones. It's too weird otherwise.
>>1968092fuck off retard
>>1968106Yeah, those are the best. The POV ones where there's nothing wrong and it just looks like a normal h-scene.
Great.Next this thread's going to start saying Luka should've been a fully grown fat man in his mid 30s
After getting to the map where you use Blola, I am not sure I want her anymore now that she has raped my ears
>>1968152Really? I didn't think it was bad. The only character I think that rapes my ears is Chupina where I mute the game whenever I deploy her.
My favorite H-scenes are the ones where the MC is quite apparent. It makes them feel way more personal and romantic.
>>1967882that's true, but there isn't really any content that needs that. The only time I'm going to use someone different would be during the youkai boss battles with selectable restrictions. Those are incredibly difficult and would warrant either paid igni or rakion.
>>1968152>>1968153yea, this. I play muted with chupina as well as summer okyu.
>>1968151>if you don't like shota then obviously you must want ugly bastard tier shitthat's kind of a stupid leap in logic isn't it>>1968154romantic stuff is the best yea
>>1968143>normal h-scene"I wish this game wasn't animay looking for weirdos and was for normal people" tier kind of shit. There are games that do exactly what you want, now shoo.
as a heads up for our newfriend, there's like five anons posting in this thread and not at the same timereplying multiple times on a thread like this just makes you stand out like a sore thumb
>>1968159I saw the word POV and immediately understood you just wanted the guy to be close to yourself is all
>>1968158I don't hate Chupina's voice but Fast Charger + Rapid Charger then pressing the auto button rapes your ears like no other thing in the game like nothing else comes close
>>1968158>muting the SHOOTOI can't really blame you given she screams it but I just love her voice and how she says things in general it's great, her interrupting herself during Octuple Shot just makes it even funnier.>>1968162yeah. i think this is the first time i remember it being this 'active' since the last collab.
>>1968164I'm not even the one who made the POV post, that just sounds like pure projection on your part anon. I don't get why you're even sperging out over this in the first place. If people can have different tastes in Monster Girls then people can have different tastes in the men who have sex with them.
>>1968169>yeah. i think this is the first time i remember it being this 'active' since the last collab.It's definitely someone new since we've had this discussion about H-scenes and it was pretty chill so it has to be someone new that picked up the game and has very strong opinions about it since I don't recall anyone replying angrily like this in previous discussions.
>>1968172Yeah, tastes and preferences come in all shapes and sizes. Miss when this site was all about through dick unity but these days everyone's too busy waging culture wars or trying to kill someone who has a different opinion.
>>1968173>>1968177Why do you play a porn game where the main theme is the monster girl x shota? This certainly can't be the only monster girl game out there.
>>1968172There's only one "taste in men who have sex with them" in this game though, so put up with it or fuck off, not exactly interested in your opinion about looking "normal".
Do I buy anything here? I am strongly considering buying 6 of the awakening tokens (that makes 2 right?) for my cute little chicken
>>1968186>>1968183You've convinced me to not advertise my other DMM games, thanks. I thought the other guys were freaking out about mass tourism but if there's a chance of attracting creatures like you then I'll pass.
>>1968186maybe you should be the one to fuck off if you can't put up with any differing opinions, newfaggot.>>1968187Pazuzu is extremely good for his passive ability and Space Vivi's skill is very powerful, so I'd suggest one of those two.
>>1968191You sure are one to talk about tourism, huh. Take a hike already.
>>1968192I guess I'll pick up Pazuzu soon, when I'm ready to upgrade it.
>>1968192Not that anon but I've been saving for space vivi. Picking up beastgod lulu is extremely tempting because she's so cute and I really like her but saving for space vivi takes priority.And on the topic of vivi, I really dislike how the machine translates it to "bibi" or "bivi" so I ended up adding a preprocessor line to translate all instances of it to "Vivi" or "Viviace". Already very used to the game so I should just disable the MTL patch given that it fucks up a lot of things that I am far too lazy to fix (and not very motivated to fix if it's just going to bring loud idiots to the thread) but the convenience of having the game tips that show up whenever a new mechanic or new monster is introduced be automatically translated is huge so I end up keeping it enabled just for that. Ideally bepin has a key to enable/disable translation for things like these but I was never able to summon the command menu in the game so it is what it is.
>>1968199Alt + T is what turns it translations on and off, I don't know why but at first it didn't work for me but it does now.
>>1968206Yeah, there's a set of keybinds that do shit. It didn't work for me at the start so I gave up on them but if they work now then that's fantastic. Thanks for the tip.
>>1968198I ended up having a similar dilemma when I first started myself, but I was eventually able to get them and Pazuzu's been pretty much locked into the sub slot since then; the Beast God in the front varies sometimes but the skill cooldown and reduced attack interval is just ridiculously good>>1968199Very understandable, Space Vivi's skill is extremely powerful. I was able to get Pannier thankfully, so I haven't felt the need to go for them yet. If you already have duplicates of the alien clone subskills though then they give you a lot of vivi medals when you get them the next time, which is nice.>bibiyeah correcting that starts to be a pain after a while. Glad the tool seems to be getting better for you at least. I can't really blame you for the lack of motivation, though.
I've been getting this bug recently with the last patch, retreating gets bugged and cost accumulates while the time and enemies/units are frozen.
>>1968186>only onei'm late to this but there isn't, evidently, if they were discussing how they enjoyed the scenes that weren't that. meanwhile you're throwing a frankly embarrassing bitchfit over them not liking what you like and then demanding the older anons leave for the crime of you getting your feelings hurt by their opinions. i deeply regret there ever having been a mgq crossover given that octopus/harpy loving faggot keeps bringing over spastic retards like you. do us all a favor and go back to your own general.
>>1968247Actually, now that I think about it, every single time it happens its her causing it.
>>1968254So guess she ended up gamebreaking but not in a good way
>>1968247>>1968254Huh, I wonder what on earth could be causing it....? They'll definitely have to fix this soon at least, if it's freezing both units and enemies then the game itself becomes unwinnable or at least incredibly broken and unstable so long as Murazar is there. Poor girl.......she just wanted to research Ancient Shotamerian legends.>>1968256She seemed like she had a pretty fun kit at least, I really like the flavor they put into her. I hope they do more obscure Monster Girls like her in the future, it's always a very nice surprise. All things considered she's pretty well done.>>1968248I was gonna say "I pulled Cliffo the Griffo!" but uh, huh, I didn't really think of that like that. sorry. I just really enjoy discussing the stuff in this game, and I had some fun conversations about it over there too.I did pull Cliffo though, who I've also been hoping to get for a while, and I am still happy about that. Thank you, Okyuu, for Kraken Economy. Now Rycliff can finally fight things together with her.
>>1968248I'm more surprised that the MGQ general is still alive enough to shit up other generals personally. Isn't that a game from 2011? How come discussion survived all the way until 2026?
>>1968295yea, saw that after I scrolled down, my bad.
Well I did all the 65 maps and got no aliens for it, I guess I'll have to ignore the alien only maps for now.
>>1968183Genuinely curious question.The game wears its tags proudly and for everyone to see so I find it strange that people would dislike a core theme of the game and remain for so long.>>1968248The anon throwing insults is someone else btwThe one that brought up the MGQ comparison was me though.
>>1968311it's not really that hard, anons just like monster girls and there's a serious drought of actually good monster girl content. if they just like the scenes where it's just focusing on the monster girl and not the shotacon x monster girl i don't see a problem with that when they aren't shitting on people who do like those scenes. it baffles me that has to be brought up, frankly.>i brought up luka but i'm not the one insulting peoplethe guy spazzing out also claimed to have made the post specifically referring to mgq so "one" of you is clearly samefagging at this point, and you'll have to forgive me when i say i believe you're probably both the same guy and you aren't helping your case.>>1968268yes. survived because of the rpg they made. anons also just tend to like the game in general. it's good, but i never cared for turn based games so i never really cared.>>1968261i appreciate the effort you put in at least. it is kind of nice to see you do actually like the game that much.you could just stop bringing it up in the other general if it's gonna attract retards though.
>>1968329Not just monster girls in general, game gets the TD fest and Kumafes that encourages and rewards players of other DMM games to check out this game regardless of their love for monster girls or not. I personally don't have strong feelings towards monster girls either way and do dislike the MC being a shota but I do like tower defense games and have played both Aigis and Shiropro along with other Kumasan games so being here is only natural given that the games I play are encouraging me to play this game and rewarding me for doing so.
>>1968329There's a difference in nuance to say it's not for me vs "wish MC wasn't a shota" or "a huge turnoff".Not to mention there's an even more bigger drought of shota.
>>1968345I don't think anyone cares if there's a drought of something they don't like to be quite frank. Even worse if you're new to the general and start making demands from people from day one, that will just make people dislike it even more because now they're associating something they don't like with a clown having a meltdown over others not liking it.
>>1968347I've been here for awhile. The last time you all had this conversation I just let it go because the conversation wasn't leaning into shota erasure.
>>1968248I wish you would shut the fuck up about your strawman that I'm not, I've been here before the MGQ collabs, and the most that I can say is that I appreciated the MGQ collabs. I'm not your strawman.And they aren't "enjoying scenes that aren't that", they are enjoying scenes that they can delude themselves to not be with a shota, but it is still with a shota. I like the content in the game, YOU faggots are the ones demanding it to be something else, and you act like you're the fucking target audience and I should be leaving? beyond delusional. I'll be here until the game dies because, you know, unlike you subhumans, I LIKE THE H-CONTENT IN THE GAME.>>1968347>you wouldn't care about having a drought of a content they don't likeAnd yet more proof that you morons are the ones that don't belong. Literally saying "well would be nice if this game would stop being what it is since "I" don't like it. No, I'm not here "day one", either. I've seen you faggots cry and whine about the scenes once, and I thought "wow, what a bunch of faggots, but I suppose that's the audience we'll get when collabing with games that aren't shota". Acting like there wasn't some push last time this has been discussed is objectively wrong because this is NOT the first time I've told people to stop crying about the main content of the game. It's rare for an event story to not bring up oneeshota in some way or form. People who appreciate this content are happy, people who don't? tough luck, this game WAS NOT made for you. You can still play it, demand it changes to be something else? fuck off.
>>1968422And a fun fact: MC is obscured or "looks normal" almost entirely on old scenes from when the game had just released, you can see this just by playing the scenes of release characters and so on, that MC's hair would be over his eyes or it would be in an angle that you can only see half of his body, just take a look at the gallery on the panda if you're lazy to check them personally yourself, pretty much 100% of them were like that early on, compare it to latest characters and you'll see that most of the time his face is visible, besides a few blowjob/paizuri scenes and so on, and even those often show his face. This was something the JP fanbase asked for, and I'm glad they listened to them, I prefer it that way as well.At this point I'm glad they'll never listen to the west side of things, and maybe the IP block was deserved.
i was gonna express disappointment at first that this wasn’t just some spastic tourist but honestly now im just impressed at the sheer level of seething assmad on display here. are you the same retard who was whining about “muh gameplay niggas” and said he’d hunt people down if it eos’d because he only likes the scenes and doesn’t even care about the actual game? because I don’t think you get to bitch about target audiences and japan’s player base either.
>>1968507Only person assmad around here is you, seeing as you're desperate to try to make that connection, I have no idea what the correlation is between this and that, I appreciate the gameplay enough, I'm not here only for it. How about arguing with the point made instead of just trying to call names and strawmans?
>>1968508i'm sure>the only one assmadis the one who made three posts in a row malding in a very embarrassing fashion, which was (you). i don't need to argue with the drivel of an idiot who whines about 'muh namecalling' 'muh strawman' while writing paragraphs of the same thing.
>>1968509I didn't make three posts. You are living and dying by pretending there's only one person who's telling people who don't like the game's H-content to fuck off, and you're wrong, gotta say I'm not interested in arguing with someone who goes>you must be that one faggot, no? then you're that other faggot. no? well, you're a BIG faggot and samefag!Either. Have a nice day.
>>1968512you're honestly gonna pretend you're not a massive samefaggot when this thread has like five or six people at best? it's kind of pathetic to not be able to stand by your own liquid shit, but what should i expect from such subhuman tardrage.do us all a favor and leave. or at least refrain from embarrassing yourself and shitting up this thread any further.
>>1968517Maybe I should teach you about how 4chan works as well, since you seem to be a tourist in this regard too, a slow thread like this just won't have people consistently posting all the time, some people will just check it once in a while, and if they see something they're interested in engaging with, they will. No, there is NOT only 5-6 people that browse this thread total. At best you could say that those are the ones who post every day, if you want to sell your narrative this badly.
>>1968519>three posts with the same writing style within hours of each other continuing the same train of thought on one long tirade against the big mean people that he doesn't like>"wtf it could've been anyone who made those"this is just sad lmao, you're dumber than any character in the game
>>1968528The first post in the "three posts with the same writing style", was not in the same style, as it's not schooling people about the game's history, so no, they're not in the same style. Will leave it to that anon to bother with this if he even sees a point, I got better things to do now, at the end of the day, you people will never be heard, and it seems like it is a good thing.
>>1968532>you people will never be heard, and it seems like it is a good thing.i agree, your bitching will never be heard or acknowledged by the actual developers, and i think that it's a good thing. now stop making yourself look like a moron. my point is the same even if there's two of you retards, anyway. don't be a spaz. it shouldn't be that hard. unless you're a spaz.>"schooling"lmaohis face wasn't even mentioned by those anons, it was solely just how he was drawn by some of the artists.
>>1968537>I said this before, I wish the MC wasn't a shota>i-it's just about how he's drawn!!!Yawn.
>>1968538>anon says this>then clarifies it's the ones where he looks like a five year old, and not a short manlet/14 year old, that turns him off, from the size disparitypersonally i'm only bothered if they don't draw him well, but either way it's a retarded thing to have such a hangup about. game has scenes for everyone, let them like the scenes they like.
>left for a day after making fun of the shota hater>come back to a warzonewewalso>you need to respect my heckin wholesome different opinion that a fundamental aspect of the games setting sucks actuallydegradation of a fanbase/hobby moment
Quality posters right hereThank you /mgq/ for sending your finest
>>1968641This completely retarded deflection pretending that it's fans from monster girl quest that are supposedly attacking the poor non-shota fanboys is honestly the cherry on top of the shit cake. It's delusions on top of delusions, all to pretend that it's some evil bad guy raiding my innocent core content haters, couldn't possibly be people who like this game and aren't interested in playing nice with people who directly dislike the content they do.
>>1968648it's okay, you'll be free to fuck kids in peace after everyone leaves and you're alone in here having your mass spergouts
>>1968649>you like monster girls x shota? you want to fuck a shota!You got me. I'm a monster girl.You're leaving now? best news so far.
Never expected to see some retard have a meltdown that lasted over a day in this place but I guess this thread had escaped shitposting for too long
How the fuck did we even get from "I think some of these scenes turn me off" to "shota erasure" to fucking pedoaccusations in here?? All under twenty-four hours even?? And solely directed as The Master, out of all characters?? People horny post over Vivi and Fairies and Cute Carbuncles and the Dwarf-In-The-Flask and the Blob, but HE'S where you draw the line?? I'm just totally bewildered.Especially because I think The Master is one of the best parts of the entire game, which he SHOULD be because he's the bloody protagonist and he's unironically a great one. It's not even just about the setting, although I agree with that too: the very concept of Gespenst Island does not work without him, you'd have to redo the entire setting from scratch if you tried to replace him. Yet you shouldn't want to because Master is just a really endearing guy, and part of the point of him is that he's actually a really masculine guy in spirit and he's just insecure over it because of his appearance; he's very competent, empathetic, harsh but fair when he needs to be, and he's always doing his best in the sex scenes (that I've seen anyway) to please his partner and make them happy and even tries to take the lead a lot of the time. Gespenst Island is also just something I find very relaxing, and a lot of that comes from him and his interactions with the Monster Girls. It's just a really comfy place and I really like the adventures there. Do I find all the scenes I've watched good, no, but that's just a given with any h-game and I'll tell you this pretty much all of them are better than 99% of what's in MGQ and he's unironically more masculine than nearly every male there.I just like this guy a lot, and I wouldn't change a damn thing about him.also, there is no "/mgq/", it's "/mggg/", for monster girl games general. it's not exclusively just about Monster Girl Quest, that's just de-facto the flagship game for it.
>>1968736>How the fuck did we even get from "I think some of these scenes turn me off" to "shota erasure" to fucking pedoaccusations in here??Pretty common in /vg/ or the other faster threads on this awful board to escalate the issue and go full scorched earth until you drive out the things you hate or either side gets tired.I think it's pretty normal to be uncomfortable or not like the scenes where the master looks like a five year old or some tiny creature since there's nothing erotic or arousing about that but somehow that ended up as wanting "Total Shota Erasure" and some idiot having a giant meltdown because others don't like the same things he does and are 'degrading the hobby' for disagreeing with him.Just another example why /vg/ was a mistake and how a single idiot can poison and ruin an entire general for everyone since the thread went from civil discussions and people understanding different points of view to angry shouting and everything taken to illogical extremes.
>>1968741You're just going to keep trying to push the blame on some /vg/ raid forever, pathetic that you're trying to paint yourself a victim while acting like all opinions that disagree with your side was some newfag/raid, you poisoned this well, you just keep grouping up my posts and other people's post as "this one guy", and I'm sure you'll only double down on this.
>>1968760"All the opinions" when this thread is so small that it has like five anons posting that have never had these sorts of issues, problems or complaints in the past.If this thread never had these issues on previous days and other DMM games also do not have these issues, I wonder where the problem posters could have come from. The thread also sped up exponentially after being advertised on another board and comparisons to a particular game keep popping up, surely that must be a coincidence too.You might be experienced in arguing people down in shitholes like /vg/ where you can hide behind large crowds of posters but there's no such thing here so your posts really stand out with how they disturb the status quo and normal order of things around here.
>>1968771>when this thread is so small that it has like five anons postingStill going with this retarded tourist take that simply doesn't understand slow threads, I see. Really is a waste of time to reply to you, guess you'll have to live with if "there's only 5 posters" that ever lurks this game's threads, one of them will always reply aggressively to complaints about the MC and the game's H-content now. That is all.
>>1968777>yes i will spitefully derail the thread in the future if someone dares not like the exact specific kind of scene that i likenta, i don't care if you aren't a tourist but you are still the one who shat up the thread originally by sperging out like a retard just because you immediately leapt to imaginary claims of "they must want to restructure the entire setting" and not what the anon actually said which was just he didn't like the size disparity in some of the scenes. and now you try to claim you aren't the well poisoner here. you are delusional. so i hope you're able to put up with you getting shit if/when you pull this again, too.
>>1968788Sure, now, nta, reply to the post that leapt to those imaginary claims and let's see if you are talking with who you think you are talking to.
Guess we'll just have to deal with a local retard now, I mean, Shotard.
>>1968792i'm not giving you a brick of (you)s, and it's irrelevant regardless; no one was "leaning into shota erasure" just because one anon said he finds too big a size disparity a turnoff, no one was "demanding the setting be changed", so this spaz attack was all over fucking nothing but a severely autistic individual being unable to put up with different opinions. i've noticed that this happens every once in a blue moon, so there's definitely one anon here who's simply unable to handle any differing opinions and disproportionately defensive over perceived attacks against the game. are you that anon? i'm unsure, it's impossible to know. although i do believe they are the one who had the autism melty, i do not know if that is (you).but it wouldn't matter because my reply to you would be the same even if your only post in this thread was the one you just made about "i will always aggressively bitch and moan over anyone who has a complaint for any of the sex scenes": you are retarded, and you are the problem. this isn't your hugbox, and not everyone who likes the game also likes exactly what you like. grow up and deal with it.
>>1968826You're right about one thing, this isn't your hugbox. Goes both ways.
>>1968827yeah, it does go both ways. and i can put up with people discussing stuff i don't like. can you? evidently not. maybe learn that skill because you're going to need it.
>>1968827I'm glad you're taking time away from masturbating to little boys to shit up our thread but what happened to it being a "waste of time" to reply or how "that was all"? Have you decided that this thread deserves your full attention after all?Every post you make just digs your hole even deeper and outs you as the cancerous fucking cunt you are and just makes your position worse since it's clear you're just some parasite looking to shit up the thread for cheap entertainment
>>1968832i'm going to point out you're not really better either if you're the one who leapt to slinging PEDOPHILE PEDOPHILE PEDOPHILE over this, it's certainly not helping your own position either. i don't have double standards, i'm perfectly capable of thinking both of you are retards. it's a monster GIRL game first and foremost, so using this as evidence that he wants to have sex with goushujin over all the cute girls is just as ridiculous as 'i don't like the size disparity' leading to "he must want to remove all attractive young males from the game"
>>1968832You just managed to bait me with going about me being a shotacon or someone from /vg/'s monster girl thread. You're trying to make an enemy out of a general who's been obviously the most fitting collab we had, as an enemy, because of me, someone who's never browsed that general. It's such a schizo take, that I really don't know how you're not getting ganged up for this. But you're not wrong, it's has been a waste of my time, you win on that.
>>1968838I strongly believe people deserve the same energy they give. If someone's nice, polite and respectful then they deserve to be treated the same way and it'd be a disservice to do otherwise regardless of their opinions or beliefs.On the other hand, if someone's going to be a cunt that then they deserve to be treated the same way they treat and address others because it's a waste to treat retards with respect.And to reply to the local clown, I'm not "looking to make an enemy of a general". I'm making fun of your retarded ass specifically. If you're going to enter a thread slinging shit, derailing into shit and shitting it up then don't cry when the same shit is flung back at your face where it belongs. If you don't like it then contain your autism and treat other people the same way you want or simply hide the posts, there's no reason why a random throwaway complaint should have derailed the thread for two days just because you couldn't handle other people not liking the same things as you.
>>1968850You're the only one crying around here, and I just made fun of you for trying to push a narrative about me being this person, being this other guy, being a raider from /vg/'s monster girl quest thread, because supposedly monster girl quest fans are very interested in ruining this game's thread, I suppose.You're the one who's ranting that I destroyed this thread, so who's crying? You. I'm perfectly fine with the state of the thread.
>>1968850anon i understand the idea of replying in kind, but leaping to screaming pedophile does literally nothing but make you look just as retarded, and if that IS what you actually believe then it would also retroactively mean that anon's grievances with you are either now personally motivated by you accusing them of being a pedophile or entirely justified regardless of how much they did indeed end up derailing the thread if you actually do think everyone who likes those scenes you don't like is in it for him if he looks young enough and not, you know, the very hot monster girls that are the actual focus of every single fucking scene in this game. it is, perhaps, the single worst possible response you could have made unless you want to make him look like he had a point. if you want to sling shit i understand, but don't be even more disproportionate.>>1968854in all fairness a good number of the samefagccusations are actually mine (and i stand by and still believe that you are a massive fucking samefag, i'm not afraid to own why i say), but evidence was provided that you are not a tourist which was also why i expressed disappointment over that prior. if the anon is still of the belief that you're a newfag then, well, i think i would have to say he is even more retarded than you are.
>>1968867Tourist or not, spending two whole days shitting the thread over the dumbest shit imaginable then proceeding to brag and gloat about it like they just did something amazing and would do it again deserves zero respect because anyone who does that is the worst possible sort of person and the type of poster that killed this site for everyone since it's now very hard to find actual game discussion on this website due to autistic freaks like that always needing to be in control of a thread at all times and start screaming whenever anyone says something they do not personally approve of.Plus, if your opinions are so strong that you'd go to war saying dumb shit like "shota erasure" or "shota droughts" then there's definitely something suspicious in there.
>>1968875>if your opinions are so strong that you'd go to war saying dumb shit like "shota erasure" or "shota droughts"I didn't make either of those posts, but whatever makes you sleep, I know this is going to go back to samefagging accusations, and since the other anons involved are just not bothering, hey, guess I do end up looking like a samefag.I said this before, I'm just glad your braindead takes are going to be only in this thread, and JP has no issues with oneeshota stuff. Good riddance.
>>1968877So let's walk through this one: You "didn't make any of those posts" but still got irrationally angry, still bragged about shitposting, still felt personally attacked and still continued this awful argument while being an absolute cunt and continuing to be one despite "not being the one responsible"? How is anyone supposed to believe that?And I'd imagine JP has no such issues because they don't have any idiots derailing or vandalizing entire threads for days over minor disagreements, just a thought.
>>1968875i would have to agree with that at least, spastic mongoloids who just can't keep their tism in check and have melties over the dumbest possible things have been a cancer on every board and there's definitely one in this general who's had tantrum spirals like this before whenever someone said something he didn't approve of.>i said before i'm glad your braindead takes are only in this thread>but i'm NOT the anon who said that at the third post during the climax of the most extravagant meltdown this general has ever had>i'm also not bothered and don't feel like responding which is why i'm still responding and also am very proud of my shitpostingget your story straight you retard, holy shit you couldn't out yourself more obviously if you fucking tried
>>1968879>You "didn't make any of those posts" but still got irrationally angry, still bragged about shitposting, still felt personally attacked and still continued this awful argument while being an absolute cunt andYou're the one feeling this hurt around this whole thing. Can't have a disagreement in a thread without thinking the person involved is fuming and about to have a breakdown? My strongest thought about this is genuinely that I've wasted some of my time. I'll have no issues having a discussion with other posters by tomorrow. Unless someone feel like randomly mentioning they don't like the MC being a shota, then I'd drop a "fuck off retard" and go on my day. Now there's a post I made earlier.
>I'll have no issues having a discussion with other posters>Unless someone hates on shotas then I'll sperg out again
>fuck off retard>AIIIIIIIEEE HE'S SPERGING OUTGuess people are going to have to watch out for this snowflake's fragility from here on.
>Guess people are going to have to watch out for this snowflake's fragility from here on.Man did you type that looking at a mirror or something? The irony of saying something like this when the entire situation is caused due to some special snowflake that couldn't handle different opinions and wants to hold the entire thread hostage if they ever mention his trigger words ever again.
There seems to be very few rerun banners that I've seen, If I wanted a Christmas 2025 unit, will I have to wait until Christmas 2026 for them to show up again in a banner?
>>1968741youre shitting up the thread with your samefagging retardation and projecting out of your ass because you were called out for being a tourist faggot who cant stomach the literal main conceit of the video game this thread is aboutif thats not degradation then nothing is
>>1968902Not necessarily; I've seen them rerun summer alts out of season and I got one of the christmas costumes in the middle of the summer when I joined, so they might rerun a christmas banner before then, even if it's odd to do so.
Is there any point to these type of subskill slates, they look too expensive to be worth making and there seem to be quite a few meaning its not worth making the first few which are possibly weaker.
>>1968920What's your issue with that one? Tokens can be very useful, and with certain characters those multipliers will always be up when needed. But if you're hurting for subskills you shouldn't bother with those slates just yet, no.
>>1968920They're mostly for trophies; the tokens usually are just for fun, but some of them can be actually good. The Medusa Soul is one of them, due to the Medusa it summons, and the bonuses being pretty good for teams that can inflict those conditions; those damage bonuses are pretty huge. I'm also pretty fond of Cerberus Soul and Kraken Soul, the latter has a massive 1.5x damage bonus against blindness, which is only balanced out by blindness being mediocre and surprisingly very rare to begin with (barely any girls inflict it).That being said they're also very costly so you should only really get them when you really want one in particular or you have enough subskills to spare. It's better to go for some of the other Labrynth Skills first.unfortunately Okyuu cannot actually summon the Kraken due to her own Kraken Tokens overriding it so you have to give it to someone else for the two to be on a team together. It is very funny to do this though.
>>1968924>>1968927I'll wait until I have more subskills then, I barely have enough as is and some of my team still use the purples and one blue one.
>>1968930that's perfectly fine anon, some of those will probably be useful for a long while anyways.
I swear someone said you could solo these alien only maps with Chupina, I got a lvl 90 Blola as my sole alien and I'm struggling halfway through these maps. I'm at the point where Blola kills everything and a borrowed lvl 150 Chupina with two subskills that reduce skill time kills mandragoras
I see no way at all for these two to do map 6 with the big alien mothership, it sounds like its weak to magic so I can't even dent it.
>>1969131>>1969155You can have Chupina solo almost any enemy or level; the only ones that she cannot are ones that hard counter physical attackers or gimmicks or that will very quickly punish you for trying to spam damage.Which, granted, is not very common, so she can still bulldoze almost everything, but as far as the Alien Secrets goes the sixth stage really is the only one that she will be deadweight on and I think that was absolutely by design because there's just no way the developers didn't anticipate people trying to cheese the entire thing with Chupina: hence the spaceship necessitating magic damage. The trouble is aliens are already limited enough as it is, especially if you had to rely on the loaner. I myself only own two aliens, one of which was the welfare handed out during the last time when they added the Alien Secrets (Lumyuda, who was likely added as a healer so you could at least be guaranteed to have SOMEONE who could heal) but because of how the rewards for past Alien Events in subsequent ones work you'll need to wait for the second week to obtain her. The other is Marzea who I just happened to obtain, who ended up being a big help since Empress is good for locking down lone corners.I ended up clearing the stage by loaning the Moon Rabbit Girl (otherwise cashgated) and having her and Marzea work together to deal with the thing and the mobs, but now that Trivera's come around, judging by that huge burn damage multiplier you could probably kill the Mothership by using her too. Thankfully for you Blola has healing and AoE, so she might be able to just sit back and wall off the goal.
just started, any way to play on 60 fps?
Blola's h-scenes are terrible and that alone makes her a bad unit
>>1969323they are? I don't own her and wasn't interested in rolling for her anyways, but that's unfortunate, then. what was it about them?
For those who care about it, Rembrant is indeed the focus of the next collab event, and the other girl is actually Nidra the Fafnir Girl, which I guess was why she also happened to show up in the event this time.I'm sure they'll release a better quality version of this image eventually.
is this game generous? how long does it take me to build a pity?
>>1969320>>1969370Welcome anon, hope you enjoy it.The game is generous when you start out, if you're dedicated at least: it takes 45,000 to guarantee a girl via sparking them, and you can easily amass that through the Boss Challenges and all the gem rewards. However the gems from all the generous rewards are finate so I'd suggest you use them carefully until a girl you know you want comes around. Once you burn through all the generous gem rewards, it takes longer to build them up again. You'll need to make progress through the main story to unlock those bosses to get the gems from them though.Also, if you can, try to make sure you clear the Seven-Day-Starting Dash: you will get a bonus subskill from it that's unobtainable otherwise, and it's a very useful one. You'll only be able to make progress on it one day at a time, but the rewards for it are worth that. The only troublesome part is clearing the first bonus stage from Silva's Event as it requires careful management of the cows, but you can worry about that whenever you get there.
>>1969370During my first new years event a few months ago I hit pity twice with no regrets after that it slows down a lot.
>>1969487you burned through that twice on the same banner, damn man what girl got you that down bad for her
>>1969492Obviously I had to get Ruisha several times but I did spark Platina as well
>>1969487>>1969374how long does it take after it slows down
>>1969521you get 5000/month without promos, but you get so much free rolls (that can roll limited) from promo you get about 1/3rd of the entire L roster without spending any gems at all. I have 700k+ gems, trust me.
Finished all the alien stages with 3-stars by borrowing a chupinaWas expecting harder honestly
>>1970167>Used Chupina>"Was expecting harder honestly"then do it without her
>>1970220Game has weird difficulty curves where some stages make you wonder how the fuck I'm supposed to clear that versus stages that look hard but everyone meltsI was bracing myself for one of those ultra bs stages but it never came
>>1970222you're using the most broken character who isn't paid for and then get surprised that nothing's hard because they're broken. i don't know what to tell you. it's self-inflicted.
I did it, I beat the 40th floor and with an earth team too, though I use the term team very loosely. Also fuck the 29th floor, I can ignore that I didn't even 3* it.
>>1970924Congrats anon! I really enjoy the Dragon fights, I had a lot of fun fighting them with various teams. The Earth Dragon was a pretty big trial for my Earth Team though since I had almost no one who could do magic damage off-skill for it at the time; killing him took the team eleven minutes, which I admit I actually enjoyed since the minions helped keep my attention and prevented things from just getting stagnant or turning to auto-mode. If I redid it now that I have the original Lauren and Pannier though it'd probably go a lot faster. Love the Labrynth; I'm looking forward to the next floor set.>floor 29ah yeah I don't think I had too much issue with it normally but completing the Rare Only Challenge required a lot of RNG because it came down entirely to Fermi and her weapon giving her skill a high instant-kill chance, which the Will-o'-Wisps are weak to. So it was dependent on if Fermi was able to immediately kill both of them the moment that they spawned in because it's just a massive pain otherwise.
>heading deeper into the ruins, it transitions into what seems to be a laboratory, but still similar to what would be found on the planet>it seems these sort of bases mimic the structures of the planet they're on for camouflage, but it's strange for this double layering which only trend-savvy space girls would catch onto>while there's a lot to be wary about, Pinda knows she can't back out with nothing to show for it lest she get viciously mocked by a lazily gaming Pupiperuza>as Vivi remarks on the high quality of the space princess impression, a third party remarks that the malice in it seems to also reflect attachment and love>the mysterious woman has finally revealed herself unceremoniously>she was hoping for more of a surprise, but it seems she popped out unintentionally due to the flow of things>intimidating SFX>the girl has a very strange presence, speaking somewhat flatly despite being quite expressive in appearance>Trivera still gets zero biological readings or any other readings for that matter from her>the gal-alarm blares again and the mysterious lady vanishes again>while there's a lot to ponder, we must deal with the defenses which include undead somehow this time>people who perished here or some sort of synthesized version we don't know, but we must deal with them>Blola responsibly defeats the enemies and asks for praise which we do>while assimilation is scary, she does make for a reliable ally Pinda notes>thanks~>if MC allows it, I'll absorb Pin-chan too~>Pinda is freaked out and very scared as she is being hugged by Blola>being like that while truly showing no hostility and it simply being her nature is impressive in many ways>Piperi says it should be fine as long as MC holds the reins, so let's go onward without being scared>Pinda claims she's not scared in a way that sort of plays off Vivigami's name>Vivi just tells us to get a move on before the alarm goes off again
>heading in further, the mysteriously lady nonchalantly reappears and acts like a boring tour guide as she introduces the nondescript walls>she finally introduces her name, Euphora(could be something more plain like Yufola too)>it seems she wasn't intending to hide it, just she didn't find a good time to introduce herself before now>if you miss the timing then you've missed it, so just act like you already have introduced yourself until the very end>Trivera asks what type of space girl she is, but Euphora chooses to keep that secret>it seems she just wants to be coy about it after the reaction she got from just her name>anyways, she says she'll be our guide and then brings our attention to what seem like poachers hostile as ever in the back>biological readings are suddenly positive for humans when they weren't any before>it seems like they're clones, but Euphora says not quite, they have a certain mass/weight taken from this base>anyways we'll need to intercept them as it seems we're approaching the base's core now>they're defeated, but Trivera notes they were strange>Euphora claims it an example of technology so advanced to be considered over-technology>she seems to know a lot about what's going on>Euphora starts unveiling her story, but says it will be a long one>Blola asks for the short version as long stories make her sleepy>alright, this appearance isn't actually me and my true self is in the deepest part of this place and she'd like us to reach it to help her>Pinda surmises she must be the core then and Euphora compares herself to a captive princess who needs rescuing>Pinda and Piperi are confused>we're very near the core now, so go to the restroom and save your game>the restroom's at the end of the corner while the save point is in the second stall men's side>it's not actually a real save point, it just makes a sound, it's just for playing around>MC concerned about what may be hidden in the restrooms chooses to go straight to the core

Does anyone know why they're completely recasting Franci and Petra and redoing all the voices for them? I was surprised to see that in the announcements, so I wonder if something happened with their voice actors.
oh also they added another round of new weapons for Monster Girls, and this time included some new year's alts in them, so they seem to be getting around to giving weapons to alts now as well which is nice.Hariella's is just hilariously overpowered with her EX II for how simple it is.
>>1967050She looks exactly how I thought she'd look and was an AI just like I thought she'd be, that's neat. Although I thought she was the base's AI, instead of a ship inside of it, but her being a ship makes more sense for her being recruited in the future. Either way her expressions are great.>>1971122>Euphora(could be something more plain like Yufola too)A direct translation would be Eufora but I think it's supposed to be Euphora. Given she's a spaceship I looked up the name and there's a spaceship in the Aliens series name the USS Sephora, and given the fondness for wordplay their names are the same but with the first symbol changed so that the 'Se' is 'Eu', like it's Euphoria, because it's MMTD.Though that's still kind of a hazy connection, so it'd just be an name-only reference at best as far as I can tell at the moment. Could be nothing.I want to believe that I'm right though because if I am then there's a non-zero chance a not!xenomorph girl shows up next time and that'd be rad
>>1971401actually now that I think of it she might be named after "Ufora" instead, but the pun on her also being someone who's euphoric and also a UFO would still be the same either way. It just changes if her name would be better translated as Euphora or Eufora.Or it could just be from eUFOra.Hmm.Probably no xenomorphs then, alas.
I want to fuck an ufo
>2262 vivicoins for freegod I love the alien event
>>1971373Yeah, I had to check the news for that to make sure I wasn't going crazy as I've been looking at them daily trying to make them and completing new floors this week, then all of a sudden I get a new one I can actually make for my Platina.
Get fucked you shitty UFO, not even firing the moon rabbit will stop you from going down.I spent way too much time on this map.
I'm getting severe whiplash going from Girls Creation to Flower Knight GirlsThis game looks and feels extremely out of date
>>1971470Congrats anon, I suppose having Lumyuda helped too. I guess Yano's just cheerleading from the sidelines. She's there in spirit.>>1971422It's very nice>>1971483Really? What's FKG like? I've not tried it, though I was curious.
>>1971508Time to try it then because you need to log in for 7 days for your kumafes tickets.
>>1971510I joined GC one day too late (I lost track of time when I did finally get around to it, and myself forgot about the 'one day ahead' part) so I only got two of the tickets out of it. So there's not much of a point to play it just for that anymore. Also there's a different game that's started sucking up a lot of my freetime now so if I'd just like to know what FKGs is like before trying it, if I'm only going to be trying it for the game itself.
>>1971513Should still try to get tickets and see if you still get a reward instead of giving up completely, it's what I'd do in your position. All it takes is just firing the game and claiming the login bonus anyway since you don't have to actually play the games.
didnt get the slime girl in 150 pulls or any other ssr, should I exchange for her or chupina
>>1971519I wouldn't say I'm "giving up" per-se; it's just a lack of interest. There were three rewards for 5/10/15 tickets; although when I went to check them for MMTD on the site since they added that rotation it seems the rewards aren't on that tab and it's only listing the ones for FKG. But from what I remember it was tickets (maybe a ten-pack), then probably an E-Ticket and then all 15 is an L-Ticket. The reason I took a while to try GC in the first place was because the game didn't look interesting and if it's not something I actually want to try, then I just don't have the motivation to pretend to try it.So I'm just asking what FKG is like because if I had known that GC was themed specifically around artists and art on a conceptual level I probably would have tried it much sooner.>>1971528Pull the one you like the most. If you wanted The Blob, then get The Blob.
>>1971528There is something extremely satisfying about feeding my Blola until she's huge. I borrowed Chupina but do not feel the need to get her after beating all the alien maps.
>Get cute alien welfare girl>Suddenly the deadly poison stage I was stuck on gets completely trivialized
And with this I have cheesed, I mean, cleared all of the Alien stages. Having Lumyuda honestly made such a massive difference since all my other healers suck and can't be used in Alien anyway.
>>1971576Lumyuda was almost certainly made for the labyrinth and the alien story mode ngl
Putting Blola vs story enemies feels like forcing them to fight a raid boss
AT LAST, OKYUU IS COMPLETE! FULL POWER KRAKEN!!I know it's just a 10% Damage Buff but I'm just really happy about it anyway! She's finally managed to reach maximum power! Oh yeah!! Truly, she was the one most worthy of this recognition!!
>>1967399me again, still need help deciding who to spend the exchange on. I read through every kit and I've narrowed it down to pinda or one of the martians since they have burn and one has 1% current hp damage. pinda has -1 deployment cost for all aliens just by being on the team as well as true damage like summer teruru, so I'm leaning towards her. any advice would be appreciated.
>>1972099I've not used Pinda but I've used Marzea and I can tell you she's actually pretty bloody strong. She has a huge multiplier bonus for being on a fire space and always counts as being on a fire space during her skill, has immunity to freeze and burn (the former is more useful, but it is very useful nonetheless due to how rare that immunity is), and then on top of the 'chance to burn + gives everyone bonus damage to burned enemies' part her actual skill gives her 2.6x attack and then damages everything in her radius constantly for 30% of it which is affected by the conditional multipliers. When you add terror pain's ability to immobilize everything in her range and increase the damage they take and then her range also being buffed by the fire space bonus, I gave her the subskill you get with friend points that further increases the bonus from matching element spaces because it stacks with Marzea's ability and it lets her shred pretty much everything in her radius during the skill. I'd imagine if you combined her with Trivera then they'd work really well together, due to Trivera giving her the fire space and they'd boost each other's damage.Also at this point I think I can say Trivera is joining Slayzel up there so whether she's silver or bronze she's at least somewhere on the podium. But you already have her, anyway.
>Reading up on popularity contest results>Event had a big notice that they won't do anything if Lulu wins and that the prize will go to 2nd place>Lulu still wonThe Japanese have pretty good taste honestly
>>1972106The slime girl is pretty good too. She's mediocre if you can't feed her but if she gets to her first form then she has 3 block, massive HP, massive attack and heals for funny amounts.
>>1972114Yeah Lulu's spot as Number One most popular girl seems pretty locked in at this point she's just really got that spot nailed down. That's a really good looking picture of her too, she looks really cute in that. From my understanding part of it is also that early on Lulu was seen as a godsend for her barriers and even beyond her personality or looks a lot of people seem extremely grateful for her aid.I haven't gotten to interact with Lulu much, but while working on something I did end up translating one of her (paygated) bonus episodes due to wanting to see if there was any information inside of it that would help me, and in it Lulu's just really endearing and trying to "train" herself to be less timid so she can help others out more, and Master's idea to help her build confidence and have her practice interacting with people was to talk to Okyuu and ask if she'd give her a job in customer service, so she got hired as a waitress as one of Okyuu's cafes. It was surprisingly sweet, all things considered.until Lulu accidentally flashbangs every single person in the building with her charm in an attempt to stop a fight which drives everyone there (even the Master) into temporary madness and she understandably freaks out and bolts in a fit of panic, having made her problem even worse. Okyuu, realizing part of the problem stems from her timidity/embarrassment (and also sensing something profitable) decided the best solution to this to help Lulu work on her issue was to put her into the maid outfit that you get the story from and then turn the place into a maid cafe so she'd have to work through her timidness itself and not just on talking to people.I didn't expect those two to interact, honestly, but even if it ended up going in a comedic direction I think it's nice of her to try and help Lulu out. She seems nice.
>>1972137Too bad that being popular comes with the curse of paid versions which REALLY sucks.
>>1972144....Well, when you put it like THAT.........yeah I guess it really does suck for a girl you like to be popular sometimes.But getting to see a ton of fun fanart for a girl you like is still nice at least.
>>1972106what is "terror pain"? also forgot to mention, but this character would be used mainly for the yokai boss battle stages since I've never been able to clear one of those with all the modifiers active. I didn't even full clear the one where the lion girl could instantly kill the boss with reflected damage. Have you used Marzea on one of those stages? She probably wouldn't be great against the boss itself since it would probably be immune to burn, but she seems like she would be great against any burnable mobs.
>>1972152oh, Terror Pain is the Act Command for the Empress (Whip) Class; it charges up faster as she hits the CC points and once activated it freezes all units in place in her range and makes them take more damage from all sources. Empress has a bad rap among some anons, but I've honestly found it to be significantly better than it's often described as being, as Empress as a Class is essentially designed to lock down one area in particular so you can focus more on concentrating on something else. It's capable of extreme damage in it's range, and many of them carry a form of self-sustain. I used to think Mystrana sucked, and, well I still don't like her design granted but she's absolutely cracked with the proper subskills and it turned out the issue was all the people I loaned her from just gave her terrible ones. She's also one of the only Empresses who can easily boost her range, too, which helps. The Class is good either for supporting allies to help them deal more damage or just handling an area that they can't cover at the moment.If you're talking about the ice/snow yokai boss battle where the boss was the Golden Oni, Marzea actually debued AFTER that.Unfortunately. She honestly would've been perfect for that boss due to all the freeze spam going on; I don't remember if it was immune to burn although burn doesn't seem commonly resisted either, but she would've definitely helped a lot with the adds. Either way she was able to clear out a lot of the Alien Stages mostly by herself, because i crammed chupina in the back solely just so marzea could actually do more work for a lot of the stages, it was more fun that way to me lol and she's proven helpful for a couple other challenges too. The last time I used her though was this event because I wanted to see her 1v1 the Tripod for fun. She actually pulled it off and hardwalled her, since she's immune to burn.
For the specifics of Terror Pain, it's best reserved to use for when the Empress has her skill ready, because while a lot of Empresses have single-target skills, Terror Pain will make their skill target everything inside of their radius, which drastically boosts their damage output. It's not as evident with the Silver Oni Girl, but Marzea and Mystrana especially have a significant increase in their damage output when they wait to use it with their skill. It's definitely understandable why Empress is balanced around the mechanic, because it's just an extremely powerful ability, compared to the Samurai or Puppeteer ones. Marzea has a very high damage output for her class in particular, especially since her skill has the alien benefit of short cooldowns so she can use it very frequently, but it comes at the drawback of her also lacking a lot of the self-sustain that most Empresses have (which usually takes the form of evasion + self-healing).Though that's just fixed by either being careful or having a healer that can fly over to her (or that she can walk to) occasionally.
>>1972157>>1972159thanks for the info and the convincing arguments. going to pick her over pinda. and yea, the golden oni was the one I was thinking of.

>>1973211that's only going to be really really bad if they start making cashgated units who are significantly more powerful than anything else you can getwhich is probably what's going to happen, so that's not a good sign
New premium dungeon!https://files.catbox.moe/rosfqh.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/vo9fwu.png
>>1973510A new school event, that's pretty nice. That anon who likes Lulu will even get the chance to go for her magical girl alt during it.
>>1973631>That anon who likes Luludo you have any idea how little that narrows it down
>>1973657The anon who just recently started and was vocal about liking her* does that help
just checked the recent weapon additions that someone said were good earlier in the thread, and HOLY FUCK the djinn weapons are insane. -2 deployment cost just for being on the team is insane.
>>1973669Yeah, they're pretty nuts. Hariella still got the best one by far though, Azure Revelation being easily capable of getting instant activation on deploy is absolutely ridiculous. But the deployment cost reductions for the genies is pretty fantastic too, especially since the water one is welfare so you'd always have her. Some of the other girls also got decent ones too, good weapons for them, just not as noteworthy as the above.As an aside>receive notice>turns out paid gemmies expire so you literally cannot save up for a paid costume with them unless you somehow managed to win multiple lotteries in a row or something>hopium is lostIt hurts, bros
>>1973830look on the bright side, okyuu doesn't even have any costumes in the first place
I will finally beat the last premium dungeon that was beating me, I did have to borrow Chupina to do it but I didn't get any help with placements so it counts.
>>1973838I don't even have anything I can use the gems on before they expire though.Maybe I'll get lucky, I can only cope, but it's just a bit of a bummer I guess.>>1973839That map was awesome ngl, I was caught off guard at first how hard he had level grinded.Okyuu literally hard-carried that entire map and basically took him down single handedly before she and the others plowed through the poachers. Even Perili got to do a lot in this one by just running over crowds with a surfboard. It's tough, but it felt really fun and satisfying as well, and melting them was a great time. It helps that the hero's skill is actually pretty useful, given the substantial stat boost it provides, compared to the conditional benefit the other one has.Also I feel like I should mention to you that the Young Hero's dungeon has the added battle condition "Physical damage dealt by allies 80% down", and your team for it looks like it's almost entirely composed of physical attackers, so if you're having an exceptionally hard time or the Young Hero took (or is taking) abnormally long to down then that's probably why. The other dungeon has your allies do 80% less magic damage, comparatively.
>>1973846One day I will learn to read when I start struggling, I have no excuse here. I held off on putting ranged units down as I needed to block the enemies more as they were all so tanky, atleast I now know why and its over.
>>1973848kekIt's ok anon it happens.>held off on putting ranged units down as I needed to block the enemies more as they were all so tankyIn all fairness, that's exactly what I did, I put Okyuu down in the corner and waited until the Hero moved positions to deploy Anni!Pelorus and then had Okyuu move forward and start blasting him. Okyuu took him down quickly thankfully, but Anni!Pelorus being one of the most durable walls in the game undoubtedly helped. The trouble was just handling all the swarms with the reduced range. I found the Hero much easier to defeat thanks to Okyuu and Co., while PD2 was harder for me because I comparatively have less good physical attacking units, so it took a little more trial-and-error to defeat it. Although Okyuu did help a lot in that dungeon too, it was more as a supporting role for her cost efficiency and Kraken Shields.Aqua did end up being the one to wall the Swordsman and bonk him into unconsciousness though which was nice. Although Petra was undoubtedly the best help since Aqua was just keeping people from getting to the bomb catapult.It's pretty based to power through it anyway though, I honestly try to do that with a lot of dungeons and hard content too. Beating bosses or challenging stages with OG Okyuu just feels really rewarding.
Turned out the only thing I could use the gems on was the 'once-per-day' single paid gem pull. It's not really what I was hoping to use them for, but I guess it's better than them going to waste.
>>1973830what makes hariella's second skill good? is it being able to deploy a bunch of monks basically for free? I don't have any instant skill monks so this doesn't seem that great to me, personally.
>>1974464It's not solely about monks, although yes it's very funny to do that.Hariella allows you to completely redeploy your entire team of Monster Girls (including herself), repositioning them, refreshing them from any lingering debuffs they might've had, and shuffling them around to deal with different enemies. It also acts as a buffer for things like the area-of-effect one hit kills bosses have that will bypass anything else if you can't move the girls away from it in time. It also has each girl return to their initial skill cooldown, which in some cases can allow them to use their skills far more frequently than they otherwise would be able to if it's taken advantage of to use it this way. Any girl with an extremely long cooldown or short initial one benefits a lot from it.
maint today?
>>1974953Yes. School event tomorrow. On a similar note>Anniversary Asta got cashgated>School!Asta's design is mostly just Anniversary Asta but not cashgatedI think that was nice of them to do at least
I decided to spend an hour into fixing up my translation of the UI, mostly just capitalization. Its looking really good now, nothing is overlapping which has bugged me to no end.
>>1974971nice, can you share the changes?
>>1974976https://files.catbox.moe/5my71n.txt
Lulu got Isekai'd to TSK
Gee Lacionel!How come kumasan let's you have three extra scenes?
>>1975261Racionel may even get four if he's lucky, the festival's not over yet
All that work taking down this knight on steroids and all I get is a duplicate of the subskill for killing him the first time. Atleast he was fun this time.
>>1975484To be fair, it's a (marginally) better copy of it, rather than just the same thing.But yeah.At least the fight's awesome.
With Lulu getting sent to kurusta, doesn't that mean she can become a real magical girl now?
>Anemone and Higanbana have returned safely from their trips and visiting the Flower Knight world are Nidra and Rembrandt>the Commander/Danchou is explained to quickly about how they're searching for this bear's papa>when the Danchou is asked on who it might be, a bit off-guard about the sudden question, he makes the very logical deduction if it's a bear, wouldn't the father be a bear too?>while the answer is quite sound, the Danchou is seeming very suspicious with how he's answering to the crowd's scrutiny>Shepherd's Purse/Nazuna decides to take some heat off of him by suggesting they look where bears might be like the snowy mountains and the Bearkos are on board with the idea>Rembrandt's never really been to this sort of terrain so it will be a new experience for her, best prepare well as the untouched wilderness isn't to be taken lightly>reaching the foot of the mountain, both the Bearkos and the baby bear are eager to climb it, but Anemone notices Nazuna's pack is quite large>it seems Nazuna's has prepared quite a lot, having food, snacks, board games, and a tent for camping>Anemone is concerned and requests all non-necessary items such as games be left at camp before embarking as this isn't a vacation>Rembrandt's art supplies and notebook get a pass because they could be useful for mapping>Nidra has a shovel with which she intends to find gold which to then hoard>she's reminded of our mission which is finding the bear's papa, but the shovel can probably come along as it might be useful>we finally set off, a bit into it, the Danchou's teeth are already chattering from the cold though everybody else seems fine>the Bearkos release some bear robots to search the mountain which begs the question(from Rembrandt) why didn't we just leave it to them in the first place>the baby is overly excited for some reason, maybe because it wants to find its papa, but as we set out to search, suddenly pests
>the swarm of pests while not overly strong is considerably dense and constant>the baby bear is briefly endangered with Bearko desperately covering it before Rembrandt saves them in the nick of time>as a blizzard rages, everybody fights, and eventually the pests are cleared away>before Bearko can commend everybody on their strength, we suddenly notice that the party got separated>Rembrandt, Nazuna, and Anemone are off in one group and decide to enter a cave to take shelter>they have food at least as Nazuna seems to have hidden some snacks in every nook and cranny of her clothes to Anemone's questioning stare>after eating, they ponder where the rest of the group may be, it's lucky they found this cave at least>but then suddenly the noises of a loud animal>bears?!
>the other group that got separated is Nidra, Higanbana, and Kuro>Kuro decides they should aim for the top of the mountain as she leads Nidra by the hand>Higanbana tells her to be careful lest she slip>she says she'll be fine, before slipping off a small cliff>the blizzard is dying down at least>Kuro abandons climbing to the top of the mountain and instead wants to retread their steps back where they came from>however the blizzard erased all tracks>Kuro yells out for the baby bear, but Higanbana warns her to be quiet lest she cause an avalanche>they do end up hearing something, an avalanche?>no, the rest of the group Danchou and Bearko glad to find them, but also Nazuna's group who are being chased by bear robots>Nazuna has no more sweets left as she begs them to stop chasing>Higanbana doesn't think they're hungry>Rembrandt asks why they're being chased and Nidra guesses because they're running>maybe they found the baby's dad and we're just trying to report to us>that doesn't seem to be the case as Bearko notes these aren't the robots they sent out earlier>Kuro thinking for a moment suddenly realizes>these are the bear robots from last time and she forgot to pick them up>maybe they're angry at being left behind, but for whatever reason they're out of control
>after subduing the feral bear robots, we reach the top of the mountain>the view is magnificent and even the baby bear is enjoying it>the papa search has again yielded no results, but memories were made and the bearkos are happy to have come>it seems they'll be head to another world now to continue their search>Nidra and Rembrandt should probably be getting back to their worlds now as well>the Flower Knight residents decide to hold a grand farewell party at least once we get leave the mountain>Nazuna wants to prepare something exotic for them>just thinking about the party is making her hungry>you're hungry already?>but you ate so much emergency food?>I ran a lot after that!>at the banquet, Rembrandt gifts Anemone some art she drew>Nidra seeing this decides to try to gift Higanbana some gold to buy booze with, but Higanbana declines as she'd much prefer just drinking together over the cash gift>Bearko earnestly thanks the Danchou for his help and also has the baby properly say their goodbye>hopefully they can come visit again and Danchou is glad to so long as they don't do anything troublesome>a few days after, the otherworlders are finally setting off through a gate after saying their goodbyes>after they're all gone, Higanbana can't help but feel she's forgetting something>probably because you drink so much>it's not that, it's a sort of hazy dream like feeling...>well Nazuna's happy they're back safe and sound so all's well that's ends well>as the Flower Knights return to their peaceful daily lives, an enigmatic and foreboding cliffhanger ends the event like with the rest of the collab stories
HOw do you guys play this in english? I saw some videos with proper subtitlesCause I was using Bepindex but it has the character count limit per dialogue box
>>1975886Can you link a video, I can't find any myself
>>1975904Actually found it and as it turns out in the post he mentions what he used: Lunatranslatorhttps://capybarachan.org/mg/res/40817.html#43150
>>1975920Now we're really getting somewhere
>Okyuu drops in first and SHOOTO'd all over the Rime Witch and then proceeded to completely single-handedly defend her entire side of the map>Even got to use every single Monster Girl on the team over the course of the fightAwesome. Not entirely sure how the restrictions worked, though, I don't know if it's counting scouts as melee or ranged. Maybe I would've done better if I'd changed around a couple of the girls. But everything worked out in the end!Waemawa was great fun too, but I had far more trouble trying to defend her side of the map, as even though Okyuu could handle the left entirely by herself and was even able to re-position to start helping out with the right as well, I struggled to find a good combination that could both output the necessary damage to deal with all the herds and still manage to actually survive while waiting for the skills to recharge. But ultimately the solution I got to was using Hariella, because even though I haven't actually made Hariella's weapon yet, she still benefitted from the beast gods reducing her cooldown, so she was able to redeploy Waemawa and help her keep up the thunder output, and once I was able to put down Rycliff safely the three were ultimately able to handle it.
How do you guys set up Lunatranslator in TD?
They censored Lulu's nipples for being too powerful
>>1976233her paws just keep getting bigger
>>1976227I'm going to look into it, but I will probably take a month just to get started. Considering noone has even mentioned it its likely noone here has used it.
>>1976240and its pawsitively adorable
>>1976243>girl with the uncontrollable power to make everyone love her>ends up the most popular girlIt's just hilariously appropriate
lulu so popular that they had to send her to a different game to not give her another alt
>>1976250I'm pretty sure this is the third time she's gotten to go to another game, too.
What race is she going to be though? Twinkle has characters divided between Human, Angel and Demon with her being none of those 3.
>>1976255Everyone loves her therefore she is otherworldly angel
>>1976255Demon is pretty the anything not pure human category.
>>1976255she has an angel form already, so probably that
>>1976637actually forget this, there is already a girl with animal ears and dog paws and she is a demon. maybe she will be the first demon/angel.
>>1976233>Light symbols all over outfit>Fire element
>>1976233Where's her head feathers?
>Cthulhu TD has already run into issues and had to start emergency maintenance that delayed the launchhave they already fallen victim to the mahjong gambling addiction?
>Want to keep 45,000k for potential girl I really would be sad not to have>But need gold keys and Asta's alt is neat and I have enough to spare a few rolls>Maybe I can spare a few just so I can get the extra keys>rate up>get hopes up>cow>rate up>get hopes up>cow dupI feel like I just wasted some potential good luck.I should've stuck to the plan and saved........
Oh, getting distracted by that caused me to realize the new TD Game's online now.Okyuu planned it out all along!
I just decided to calculate how many more rerun event maps I have left to do that are currently unlocked. I feel like I've done atleast half of them>231 maps left to do. I want to give up, they are all so easy and mindnumbing.
>intro feels a bit disjointed, even way too rushed>rather than trying to set things up, things happen rapidly without much pacing>multiple character factions are brought up before even being properly introduced or clarified>it's another "I'm from japan and now I'm in (fantasy situation)" episode>main girl trauma dumps her sad backstory 2/3s the way through>some set pieces aren't really made clear and more character development is given to "human man number two" than any of the other girls (I don't even know who the other girl in the tutorial fights is, and Riffle just talks on the phone and keeps getting hung up on)>"human man number two" is promptly killed off 3/4s the way through>feels way too rushed and obviously set up just for this one purpose>main girl keeps getting cut in half>Girls are mostly automated in battle>BUT>That's because you don't play as them nor command them>You're actually playing as Cthulhu himself (because he wakes up when you ask for help, he's just a swell guy like that)>Also Cthulhu is a war veteran in addition to the space pope and pretty much beat the shit out of everything himself the first time around>Also all the Cthluhu girls are directly descended from him>Pretty much the entire budget went into making Cthluhu look as based as possibleThey knew what was important, and that's what matters.
>>1976876I found it kinda fun, but I did all of them before I did the labrynth or anything like that, and before I tried to powerlevel anything.
New cthulu game earns a "Certified Kusoge" award from me
>>1976938>>1976886Man, the story is total ass, and the "gameplay" just feels like several steps down from MMTD. I'll give it a chance, I guess, but if you're not even having to control or position the towers, or even PLACE the towers, and every map is just a straight line from right to left, then is this really a tower defense game, or just some kind of auto-battler that was disguised as one?I'm gonna be honest if they actually did kneecap MMTD's budget for this then it's a waste and disgrace. I don't even care about the girl I picked from the pre-registration to keep because Neon's kind of a nothingburger. Riffle was the other one I liked the most and she's nice, but, well, Okyuu exists, and she just kind of bodies this entire cast already on her own. It's just not really fair because I feel obligated to compare them.Cthulhu's a fun novelty, at least, but with a battle system that feels this stale I feel like a novelty is really all this game can hope to be. You just can't have your fundamental core gameplay be this damn boring, man.
>>1976959Fun novelty? I don't think I'll last the night, honestly. I'm only using it as a distraction while I wait for maint and can roll for the new Lulu.And yeah this is 100% an idle game autobattler. There's even idle resource collection and I believe I even saw Level Sync. No idea why they're trying to market is as a TD game when it feels like a watered down version of other idle games like Muvluv or Techcronoss.It's even missing basic features such as remaining enemies or wave number that you would like to communicate to the player so it just feels and looks bad.
>>1976962.....Honestly, I don't think I will either.I was actually having fun with the goofy Frog Event they added where the water dragon girl gets turned into a frog at least. Sure it's easy and everyone just kinda punches the enemies down, but it's far more engaging to play at least, and significantly more fun to watch.I like getting to, you know, PLAY the game. Put girl here, move girl there, help girl kill thing, and then press the frog and put out all the poison. Also the event story's pretty neat so far.And you're right I somehow didn't even notice the UI was so lackluster it didn't even have such basic information. It's not even the girl designs anymore, the game design itself is just.......well, total shit. There's no delay that would fix this.It's just a shame, man. Such a waste.
aaaaaaaaand now it's back down for more maintenance, fuck me this is just embarrassing.Right, then, back to the frogs I go.
>>1976977Indefinite emergency maint is truly the mark of a kusoge
Apparently, the new cthulu game already has paid pack units that you can only get by spending money. I don't think this is it guys, hopefully they don't make me play this flaming dumpster as part of the TD collab.
>>1976985>check account>they haven't even announced the takedown yet but they're shilling this instead>look further>it apparently took them two and a half hours to announce the game was playable after maintenance was over and then they took it back down again>almost everyone is shitting on the game, some relentlessly soWell at least it's not just us who think it's an absolute trash fire. Saw someone make a bet that the game wouldn't last a month. Honestly, with this kind of a launch, it very well might not.
>oh, so that's where she's introduced>comfy moe birdClearly, Okyuu knew to redirect me to the cthluhu game after I was disappointed with the pull, to show me how terrible it was, so I could come back here and run into a Harpy and get cheered up. It just makes sense! She's so considerate!
>>1977029>Disappointed with the pullI wasted a full ceiling on the school gacha and only got one (1) legend which was from exchanging my 1500 medalsIt was atrociously bad and I don't think I could ever be more disappointed than I am
>>1977033ouch. Sorry to hear that anon. Your luck was definitely worse than mine.
>waitress assassin keeps trying to goad them into having Elyut "interrogate" her for information>because they essentially tried to assassinate the guy and force their way into the island solely just to see her>not even that they just fell in love with Elyut and start screaming gibberish at them the moment they see them again>HARDER>SCOLD ME MORE>screams that she's a filthy pig>Elyut is completely freaked out>Frantically tries to deny this is her fault, because she was like this when they met>Vivi points out it was probably because of that one time actually>Protagonist and everyone else is extremely uncomfortable and creeped out>They briefly consider if death is the best solution>And then realize that because of how undeath works here she would immediately come back as a ghost>THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL>THEN I COULD SPEND EVERY DAY, 24/7/365 WITH YOU! >FOREVER>Elyut starts slowly backing away from her more and more while she continues ramblingIt's like reverse mind-break
haha wouldn't it be funny if the dev funds for this year went to rlyeh shoujotai
Lulu's birthday was a few days ago and none of you celebrated it.
>>1977202I-I didn't know!
Also, every Twinkle character has a constellation. Lulu's constellation is Nano.You would be able to see it if her gigantic orb wasn't blocking the way but you can see it when the card on her back spins around.
>>1977300>Lulu's constellation is Nano>Because she ends every sentence she says with 'nano'kek
There's also this cute Lulu sister (The name for the Chibified characters) that you can getPaid only
>>1977115>open announcement in mmtd>new tag was added>rlyeh is now advertised as an IDLE tower defense game>and it's still being promoted as part of the groupall of the funds and budget went into this game, what I want to know is why did they make a game so shiti don't want this in the collabs
>Ryleh failing kills all 4 TDsNo way this could be it, right?Not like this...
>>1977402It's okay Goshujin, We will take good care of your Airen and Lulu in the games they have taken refuge in.
>>1977407Doesn't that mean you'll be taking care of him as well?
>>1977433Unfortunately having a dick disqualifies you for refugee status in another world. There's only space for one master around these parts.
>>1977402The Beach Resort doubles as a panic bunker in times of emergency! Quickly, get in! We're safe in there!
here's a rundown so no one else has to play this trash>gameplay>laughably untested, some classes don't even function>grindy as fuck and boring as hell>girls>the 3* units are all the worst characters and the 1* units are all the best characters because of how ass-backwards they designed their unlock system>stability>filled with bugs, numerous cheaters already present>story>laughably terrible isekai trash with zero tonal consistency>can't decide if it wants to be super dark or comedic>plot jumps all over the place like it has ADHD>*mono-colored mspaint jpeg* "your special effects, sir">characters>90% of the cast are either solely defined by a single character trait or a bunch of self-righteous assholes>protagonist is a whiny neurotic dick who cares more about some random guy who died in ten minutes than anyone else>neon is a callous smug prick who knowingly tries to fuck over all her teammates and steal their credit just to make herself look better because she's mad she didn't get the job she wanted>calls humanity a bunch of pre-historic shitters; proceeds to lose every fight>tells the protag he's basically just a trophy to her>her teammates catch up to her>she mocks them because she stole credit for all their hard work and rubs it in their faces>protagonist decides to support her, because (put reason here)>bedrooms>reportedly every girl only has a singular one and most of them are just the same>overseas already coping and seething>check collaboration promo>they changed the banner for TDF to now say "play four games">site now has a campaign for rusheday shitotai>all rewards are just generic single pull ticketsthe sheer audacity for them to have so much confidence in this is fucking hilarious
>>1977465>they changed the banner for TDF to now say "play four games"needs to change to play 3 games so I don't have to play that dumpsterfire
>>1977473from what i read they might have even moved the next TDF up to april specifically to coincide with this.
>throws all budget into new game>everyone hates itwhats this strategy called
>10k for paid pack unit at launch
>>1977476So that's why they ended the -Krus storyline in the last 3TD.
>>1977465I need monmusu to reference these powerpoint presentation effects and make fun of them
G-Goushujin-kun I don't feel so good.........
>>1977478They even added a battle pass
Well, if there's one thing, at least we can all come together and be united in agreement that this game is atrocious.One could even say it's level of quality is unfathomable
>>1977465>see 'character stories are the best part even if the main one sucks' echoed on wiki>fuck it i'll just find an upload this ain't worth anything else>surely, the game's heavily promoted deuteragonist and featured main girl has a better explanation than "i'm just assmad i didn't get the job i wanted">read story>she hangs around his house all day, complaining about 'yellow turbans'>she's hacking into the city's "shoujo-tai" network for the sole purpose of finding missions they're currently undertaking so she can "interfere with them, take the credit, and leave">the protagonist explicitly says "it might seem like she's a commendable figure who's lending her strength to help them, but the truth is, she's actually doing it to make her competence known and degrade the shoujo-tai" and so literally everyone hates her>re: the entire driving goal of the shoujo-tai game's main featured girl that they placed all the focus on is to literally spend her entire life completely fucking over the entire shoujo-tai group for the sole purpose of making everyone involved look bad>she then informs them that yes this the only reason she bothered to help the protagonist in the first place>"i am amazed at your foresight" he says and then goes on to praise herthis has to be some kind of money laundering scheme.no, really, what the fuck is this.you make a game called "shoujo-tai", featuring the "shoujo-tai", and the main girl is on a conceptual level designed to make "shoujo-tai" look bad.truly, this will be the game that surpasses aigis and makes the trio look outdated.
>>1977465lol, accurate>>1977484were we not supposed to read that as -culus as in homunculus?
>>1977573NTA but the original was more like "cross", as in crossover, because it was crossing over into other worlds and also the reason for the three-way crossover happening. "-krus" or "-cruz" are probably more accurate.
>they dedicated two entire chapters to mind-breaking neon>the first has her realize everything she believes in is a lie because (shocker) lovecraftian beings don't really care about any of their subordinates so big c just lets his city burn>the second has an angel just tell her point blank that she's a worthless drifter who does nothing but ruin everyone else's lives by stealing the credit for all their hard work, solely because she's coping about not actually being as talented as she thinks she is>neon freaks out and starts coping that actually she's just super special so cthluhu just needs her to prove it more, and one day she'll be able to treat everyone else like slaves>angel just calls her delusional>neon just starts screaming and trying to kill her as a war trophy>angel BTFOs her out (again)>angel points out to the protagonist once more than she doesn't care about him or anything really, they're all just trophies to be sacrificed for her personal glory>protagonist acknowledges she's totally correct>but neon is fighting to protect him because he's just a glorified trophy to fuel her ego, so he still loves and trusts her>angel just sighs at his third pretentious retard tangent where he continues to complain about the one human guy who was written just to die and be his forgotten gay loveri am glad i got far enough to find one character i actually like at leastit's a shame she's the fucking antagonist that you were supposed to hategod, i hate this protagonist so muchalso the gameplay doesn't even matter, none of the battles are canon or involved in the story compared to the other three games>>1977573yesalso remember that if they do have a collab there's a very good chance someone is going to be shipped over hereputting a monster girl in this feels like a punishmentthere's a comment chain joking about "evil god lulu" which i admit i found funny though
>>1977599ルルゥの家、ルルイエなの!
>>1977606そのうちコラボするだろうから遊んでみるか。邪神戦記ルルゥ。>ルルゥイエー!なの
>>1977599I almost immediately went into full "oh god please don't put Okyuu in this game" mode because I don't want her wasted on thisI'm just so disappointed I can't really even be angry anymore because if they can't bother to care then why should IIt's just some generic revenge fetish shitty isekai idle game that disguised itself as a tower defense game until launch and dressed up in cthluhu skin to get people's hopes upSurely, the next tower defense festival will be good at least...........r-right......?
Instructions unclear we're sending Okyuu and Suzu to Rlyeh as part of the 3TD collab
>>1977618Well, at least she's having a good time
>people really are using 1-stars in cthulu game because they're much better than the 3-star charactershaha wow they really made a pay 2 lose game
>>1977621did you not believe me i wasn't kidding at all when i said it lmaoit's understandable though because of how absolutely retarded that idea sounds, but it is trueessentially, the geniuses behind this decided that in this idle gacha game, they were going to lock HALF THE KIT behind rolling duplicates, because you literally cannot use one of their two default attacks without either getting a second copy of the girl or paying out the ass.seriously, it's greyed out. they cannot use their other skill until you get them again.on top of that, you also need duplicates to UPGRADE the skills.imagine if you rolled lulu, and then in order to upgrade one of lulu's skills, you needed to roll lulu again three more fucking times, and then you needed to roll lulu four times to unlock her other skill and then upgrade that, and then you needed to roll two more lulus to upgrade her ultimate skill.and once you have those nine lulus, just to make the girl usable, THEN you get the awakening bonuses from the extra five lulus you get after that.as it turns out when you apply this system to a fucking gacha game built around idle stat bricks all of those super rare 0.0001% odd character suddenly become actual literal trash because they're left with half a kit and can never upgrade themselves while all the low rare commons turn into the chosen warriors because they're the only ones who can fucking upgrade themselves.i bet they expected people would fork over tons of cash to upgrade the rares, but when you designed your game to be as braindead statbrick based as possible then you get what you deserve
>>1977633I mean, normally in gachas people use low rarities as a cope while the whales with 3-stars use their 3-stars because they got lucky or have money but seeing whales using 1-2 star characters is deeply funny and amazing to me because they have money, they can pay and they can get every character but they're still forced to use lower rarities like the plebs because being whales means that the amount of dupes they rolled for said lower rarities makes them better than their expensive 3-star characters.Honestly kind of wonder who's going to win between Kumafes and this dumpsterfire, cheering for twinkle in this one because I really do not want to see anyone support the awful practices and mechanics in the cthulu game.
>>1977636>normally in gachas people use low rarities as a copeto be fair, it's either 'cope' or 'commitment', there are people who will just stick by one girl no matter what solely because they like herbut lets be honest that doesn't apply here lmfaoand yeah it's pure comedy gold. even the most ardent whale has to use the common characters because of how much stronger they are than everyone else due to getting so many powerups so easily. they made the most ass-backwards system possible. it's absolutely incredible.>Kumafes vs thisit's not going to be a contest. i honestly can't recall anything in the kumafes that could possible make this game look good. i saw people apologizing to technocross after playing this game, and that's impressive.
>>1977639>i saw people apologizing to technocross after playing this gameme genuinelyI've been playing Techcronoss since it's launch and while I think it's amazing and extremely beautiful visually, the gacha and battle systems are so fucking bad because the gacha is designed to squeeze you like a lemon while giving basically zero freebies and the battles are horribly unbalanced because an enemy can tickle your team or oneshot your entire team ins econds with zero counterplay other than welp guess you gotta roll more! It's very hard to find any information strategywise too and even if it was easy, building a character is a commitment and takes several days of stockpiking resources to do so. But honestly? The new Cthulu game makes me think perhaps I treated Techcronoss too harshly since it looks like a contemporary masterpiece when compared to this newer release.
How are you guys playing the Cthulhu game? Luna Translator? Bepindex?
>>1977645Very funny that you think that game deserves any attempts at a translation.
>>1977645per >>1977647 i started off the first post i made saying i'm doing this so no one else should feel tempted to play this trash.the most i'm doing is just spitting on the main characters because they genuinely deserve that treatment for how horrendously written they are. you should not develop a game where your main characters are tremendous selfish assholes and every other group behaves normally, and then try to paint everyone else as evil or nefarious and the assholes as saints you need to feel sorry and root for. frankly, this game is just a checklist of what you should not do when developing any kind of game in general. they got pretty much everything wrong.
>>1977651Jesus
>>1977653If you must pick up another game, consider one of the Kumafes games, currently the roulette has landed on Twinkle Star Knights for the 7-day login campaign that will give you a Legend rare ticket in this game if you collect all 15 tickets and it'll be Mist Train Girls next as the final game. Techncronoss and Muvluv girls gardens are decent games too if you're a fan of idle games but I am definitely not.
>>1977655I'm kind of into Lovecraftian stuff lately after I started playing Chaos Zero Nightmare. Though CZN is scheduled for a rewrite and all due to controversies.Regardless, due to that I was searching other stuff and this Cthulhu TD felt like exactly what I wanted as a Monster Girl game focused in that theme.Sucks to hear this happened though.
>>1977655i'm not gonna lie man technocross genuinely hurts my eyes. i'm sure you understand.and yeah idle games are just not it.>>1977653>>1977657really just see >>1977465 if you want the rundown on it.even the okyuuanon was skeptical prior to launch and then gave up on it almost immediately after it finally did because of how awful it was.it is a shame, though. i understand what you mean.hopefully mmtd stays strong though. i admit i'm usually the one doom posting in these threads, but if this has done one thing for me, it's given some hope that my belief they were trying to intentionally kill mmtd in favor of this game will no longer come true, because they would have to be the biggest morons alive to still try and go through with that.hopefully you can like mmtd itself, though.it is quite nice at least. and it's got some bizarre girls in it too.
>>1977465>>1977665Man I had such high hopes from the announcement. What the hell
>>1977657>>1977655I liked Girl's Creation, I genuinely really love the enemy designs in it, even if all the girls you work with are just normal cute human girl artists I still found it to be quite endearing a place. Maybe you'd like that?It's surprisingly dark, but in a very well-written way, and not a trite cringe inducing way like, well.......the cthulhu game is.I also just find the gameplay pretty fun though. Gameplay is the most important part of a game after all.>>1977665>and then gave up on it almost immediatelyI didn't even bother bringing it up again in that other thread because there's just no point. Like I said I'm just where I'm too disappointed to really be angry anymore and it's not really fun to rip into it. It's just such a waste.I do hope MMTD gets that budget back though, this game shouldn't go down because of some crap like this.
>>1977669Will check
>>1977668>I had such high hopes from the announcementYou and me both, huh..........They only added an 'idle' to the description after the release. It was never advertised as such prior to then. Had I known what it was from the very beginning I would have never gotten interested by it in the first place and would never have bothered. It's truly just a sham from the beginning.>will checkHope you enjoy it anon.
>>1977633surely events have character shards or there is a daily for them or some shit. this sounds absolutely insane otherwise. Also makes sense why my 1 stars were cleaning house and my 3 star I pre-rolled was doing one 1000 damage hit like every 7 seconds.
How many people have actually kept up with the Kumafes logins anyway? As in, haven't missed a ticket yet.
>>1977674The only thing I read about it was the MMTD ingame annoucement, and there it said the new game was for people of all skill levels or something and that tipped me off to ignore the game.
>>1977675>this sounds absolutely insane otherwisethat's because it is insane.and yes there's shards to upgrade them instead but as I said they're fee-2-pay.dailies? lmao. people can't even fully finish their dailies because some of the things it asks you to do haven't even been added into the game yet. no you either buy them directly or you get them by whaling in the gacha until you get enough (insert gacha currency name here) to buy a *singular* one.
>>1977678The in-game announcement they recently released was what confirmed to me that it was just a scam from the very start, because it was just described as an upcoming TD Game prior. And now it's "idle game for all skill levels" which translates to "waiting simulator for you to give them money". I was worried when they showed no real gameplay in previews, but maybe I just don't play enough stuff like this to have realized other signs sooner, and I ended up just being critical of the girl designs until release instead.
cthulu failed to get #1 on their launch day btw
>>1977682i'm not surprised considering how much they fucked it up
Evil god Lulu has triumphed over the Evil god Cthlulu nano
So what is the Japanese reaction to Cthulu not getting the 1st on their literal launch day? Kinda in the mood for some popcorn
>>1977688i haven't gotten to see that yet tragically but if i'm able to find some before another anon does rest assured i will share it because fuck me they've been tearing this thing to shreds already for a wide variety of reasons and it's pretty great.
With how strong the Lulu whales are, I wonder if they'll give her another alt this year.
>>1977686>Their opponent was THE Lulu the Carbuncle GirlThe battle was over before it even begun.>>1977693>Aqua Alt Never Ever>Aqua Costume Never Ever>Aqua probably isn't even getting an EX IIGrowing to like a girl who debued in a collaboration is truly painful......granted, Okyuu doesn't have any costumes either paid or free, but her alt is absolutely awesome at least and ridiculously fun to use. I once had a dream where the swimsuit alt got a costume, and all it did was put Okyuu back in her normal outfit but replaced all the water guns with tommy guns that fired skyuu as bullets. It's never happening but I still love the image.
>>1977692did 5ch ever come back up? or where did people go after that died
>>1977688>>1977692this is pretty good too
>>1977698no idea anon, your guess is as good as mine. i'm just carousing through the wiki comment forums and twitter to find what sends my sides the most.while i haven't found reactions to it failing to get first on it's launch these were from the launch day itself in reaction and they're all pretty great.

>>1977677I have, pretty sure. monmusu, girls creation, fkg, and now twinkle. I have not read the story in any of the games other than monmusu because the monmusu side did not really catch my interest enough to build teams in all those games to unlock the stories.
I guess I checked MMTD's comment section at the right time lmao
to think we wouldn't have all this funny if they had stuck to their original launch date
Well what do you know. Shota erasure was real
>>1977729>stick to the original launch date>launch with catastrophic bugs>delay the launch date>get lulu'd and still launch with bugssasuga, shoujo-tai kun..........
I'm starting to feel the haterade bros, the funny is going strong
>>1977730>Cthulhu tries to erase shota>Gets utterly humiliated by MMTD's collabHerocruz didn't learn his lesson from not having enough of Master present in his final form
>>1977735I don't think it's truly hate for me like I hate a lot of gachas and really dislike the mere thought of them but Rlyeh isn't among them, it's just funny seeing them crash and burn like this. The game is such ass that I can't really develop strong feelings for it since I played it for maybe an hour or three before giving up so I'm just enjoying the funny tweets and comments over it.The fact that no more budget will be wasted on it is very nice too.
>>1977740I'm sort of joking, I just mean I'm no longer in the "I can't enjoy making fun of it" phase and am now having increasing amounts of fun watching it flounder around. The ruthless comments are just really, really entertaining to read.It is nice to get to enjoy all the funny though, at least we have that. Hopefully MMTD gets that budget back for something fun too.

>they couldn't even angle it so he's not clipping through the fucking map
>>1977915Was the story written by an AI?
>>1977946I will give you a basic rundown of it's intro so I can set up a point to explain why i think this happenedhere is the prologue. this takes place over three chapters. this is roughly twenty minutes.>guy fails to save girl from falling into pit>guy then washes up on island somehow with no explanation>smug prick interferes to save him from orbs while teammates complain>tentacles!>turns out he's now 1000 years into the future or something>then suddenly a generic human male npc named arata also shows up>everything focuses on ARATA and neon holds off enemies so they can run away to rlyeh>arata gets five minutes/several paragraphs for his tragic backstory before main girl rejoins them>get into rlyeh>talk to maiden>'i'm sleepy, also cthulhu is a good evil god, also a human was chosen, find da key'>leave rlyeh>neon gives a couple sentences for her sad backstory (NOTICE ME CTHULHU)>angels>neon gets btfo>angel explains how they're trying to help people>guy screams at her for being evil bastards>angel says she's just trying to find da chosen key human>maybe it's arata>arata gets hit by sacred light>nope>gets five minutes for his death scene giving guy his sister's keychain and asking him to give her his dying monologue to her (despite them being in the future)>arata either gets vaporized or killed by some kind of cave-in?? somehow??>guy then decides that the girl he failed to save must have been his sister because they had similar keychains>but then maybe not really>neon gets btfo again>suddenly dream sequence>loli with bubbles shows up>one grimy bubble>loli speaks with an adult male voice telling him to grab it>then suddenly, he has da key>FUCK YOU ANGELS I LOVE ARATA>cthulhu wakes up>holy shit it's cthulhu dudes aaaaa i'm going insaaaaaane>blacks out
>>1977946>>1977963i think the best way i can explain this is by (like most japanese users) comparing it to mmtd, which has a similar "guy with memory loss ends up on an island with non-human girls" set up.compare>master washes up>vivi helps him>grows to befriend girls>he then helps save many girls>story then spends five chapters developing his character, the girls, the antagonist, revealing his origins and purpose, how he came to be, and ultimately spends five chapters building up to him resolving to fight head-on and take charge and sets up the rest of the game by showing how he became the de-facto leader of the islandwith this shit. >>1977963it is beyond rushed. master's prologue consists entirely of his initial arrival, and they dedicated five chapters to how he got to the special position that he is in. this game tried to condense the entirety of their arc and main character's set up from a prologue and five chapters, into THREE INDIVIDUAL EPISODES. Imagine if the entirety of mmtd's prologue was three story episodes. there's just way too much that was supposed to happen, you couldn't possibly make everything fit.that's what this is, it's rushed, it's trying to heavily rush you through everything and skip over everything and all the set-up and explanations and stuff just to put you into the setting so it can tell some grand le ebin' story about da fate of da world, but as a result fails to actually make you attached or connected to any of it because you're never given a reason to. instead, the only girl it tries to make you attached to is a tremendous prick, and a generic human male npc gets treated as a martyr and unironically becomes this whiny bitch's entire character motivation that he will never shut up about. literally, his entire reason for saying the angels are all heckin irredeemably evil and have no right to do or say anything and the protagonist's hate literally "trembles with hate" is because they killed this fucking guy.
https://x.com/rlyehshoujotai/status/2034926593609801749Wow, it really was too shameful to tweet "Hey, we got 2nd on our launch day!"
>>1977971they're even being made fun of for it in the replies lmao
Reminder to do your daily logins and don't get absorbed in Cthulu memesYou need 7 days login in Twinkle Star Knights for rewards. Also the game's kinda nice so give it a try if you haven't.
>>1977977>While I was working, my charm power activated, you know... Then, all the customers in the shop rushed to Lulu at once.Is she talking about when she was working as a waitress at Okyuu's Cafe? Or is she also working customer service in this world too? Genuinely curious.You know what, even if I have absolutely zero interest or knowledge in whatever this game is, I'll give it a try just out of respect for Lulu. Better to support stuff like this.
>>1977981Yeah, she's referencing the maid cafe incident.
>>1977981Also, if you haven't played it then you might want this. This guide was tossed around on /jp/ so you should find it useful as a beginner.https://rentry.org/x9ynwpin
>>1977983>>1977985Based, thank you for letting me know anon. Good Girl Octopus strikes again! It just makes me happy to know that Okyuu's efforts to help Lulu train after that even succeeded, at least a bit. She's just a really nice girl you know? I did finish making Okyuu's cafe a while ago, I should really get back to working on that mini-mod project sometime.Hopefully Okyuu gets to be in a Kumafes someday and we can learn more fun things about her too. Apparently Lulu's birthday was the day that MMTD entered early access, so maybe her birthday was the day she got added to the pre-registration.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mvopo-lMJtU
Yeah this isn't for me, this is why I usually try to ask what the game is actually like before going to look at it. I don't know what this is but this definitely is not the kind of game I'm going to enjoy at all. I'm still glad Lulu got to show up in it though, for the anons who like her and this game. And I'll probably still try to log in and roll for her but I won't do anything other than that. Definitely better than the other game just to be clear, it's simply just not a genre of game that I like.I did get the angel girl who showed up in MMTD though (Anna I think) so that's nice at least.
>>1978024It's your typical fantasy battler VN and the MC is a gary stu who leans into the straight type.He is NOT (You). (You) will never be him.*insert clip of cat-eared montuber crying that the MC is too cool to insert himself into the story*
>>1978037I liked it because of that personally. I dearly miss simple fantasy JRPG games and the game's just that.The girls tend towards the petite side too instead of the usual trend of competing to see who can have the biggest tits so it's exactly what I want in a game.
>>1977963I half abandoned ship at the first line when the red circle showed up on screen and then fully abandoned ship at the random nobody male npc getting voiced. as an aside, all these green posts are killing me. haven't laughed this much in awhile.
>>1978037Anon I'm talking about the GAMEPLAY, what the fuck did you think I was talking about? I thought I was being pretty measure and respectful, even.This feels more like an aracadey rhythm game than anything else, and I'm just not into that kind of thing, I have no idea what you're going on about. This feels like a really bizarre tangent from way out of nowhere. I didn't even mention the story or characters, I literally just said it was a game genre I don't personally enjoy. Don't be weird over it.
>>1978051>This feels more like an aracadey rhythm game than anything else,Not that anon but you got it wrong, it's a turn based game but it's presented weirdly.How the bar is presented does make it look like a rhythm game and I also thought it was a rhythm game when I first saw it but it's actually a weird depiction of the ACT bar found in games like Final Fantasy except you can visually see the characters approaching the bar at the center of the screen instead of in a small corner of the side of the screen. It plays precisely like a turn based game too but delays and haste are too strong so it ends up like a Trails playthrough where I spam delays and don't allow the boss to take a single turn.
>>1978055I mean, I know it's supposed to be an act-based turn based game, but I said it "feels" more like an arcade rhythm game because that's what it actually feels like to play it. A bunch of bright flashing lights, c-c-combo!! noises, bouncing boobs and butts all in the face, and it's just presented in a really unusual style that feels disjointed to me from how I prefer the JRPGs that I play. I just don't like the presentation or visuals or the feel of the gameplay.I don't begrudge anyone who plays and likes it, because as I said in the first post, if you like it then I'm glad for you because it seems like a perfectly fine game, it's just not a game that I'm interested in playing.I don't get how such a statement suddenly provoked a schizo moment where I'm suddenly slandering the game because I must somehow hate the protagonist for being too cool or whatever-the-fuck that anon was talking about. It's just a really bizarre response.
>>1978060I think that anon was just making a joke or reference to a video and you misjudged or misunderstood, I don't think you were slandering the game and just replied to point out it's just a weirdly presented RPG.
>>1978062Maybe, I guess if it was a joke then it just didn't land since it just came off like an oddly accusative non-sequiter.But I appreciate the understanding at least so thank you. I'm glad if you all like it, even if I don't. Lulu still totally owned Cthulhu, and that's what truly matters here.
>>1978065>>1978051Thought you meant the game as a whole and you posted a picture of the story so I just talked about that.Meant it as a joke reference to montd streamer, Nekonosora, describing the story to chat but the words I used were too strong.My bad.
>>1978065>>1978062The weird presentation works in my opinion since it'd look somewhat generic or overdone if it was presented in the usual 4~5 girls in a row standing still while waiting for their turn and a FANZA company doesn't have the budget to make a high budget TRPG nor can they force something like that on a browser so finding a new way to present it was very smart of them while making the game feel faster which also tackles one of the usual complaints of turn based games being slow or taking too long to play.The cut-ins are also sometimes hotter than the H-scenes themselves though I kinda wish the battle UI was more descriptive, detailed or informative since it'd be nice to see buffs on my units, debuffs on the enemy or current EX cost of my skills since there are abilities that can reduce the costs of it.
>>1978078Sometimes I wish there was an option to not have the cutins so I can play it in public.
>>1978070>you posted a picture of the storyWell, to clarify, it's just Anna cropped out from the victory screen to show that I had managed to roll Anna since she also happened to show up in MMTD, which I thought was a nice coincidence.Still, I appreciate it, so thank you anon for understanding.although ironically I do kind of find the Master to be the most relatable (in terms of personality and worldview, definitely not his situation lol) protagonist to me in recent memory. Well, I'm just quite fond of him in general, he's really endearing. I don't want to self-insert into him though, because I like him as his own character and it's just nice when he gets to be happy.
>>1978078>>1978089I've never had an issue with JRPGs being too slow or too long (I actually dislike it when combat's over too fast, because it feels too easy) or at least not viewing the battle system itself on a fundamental level like that. I really love it when they have a deep and intricate combat system that opens up to allowing you to experiment in many ways. But also JRPGs have a lot of other stuff to them that I love, like the overworld, running around, meeting and talking to everyone you can, etc, it's a lot of fun as well.But this isn't supposed to be a normal JRPG, it's meant as a browser game version, and understandably that kind of experience would be pretty hard to fully replicate in one. I don't fault them at all for trying something new and experimenting with their own take on the genre.It's the kind of thing where I feel like I can say "I think this is a well-made game, even if I do not personally like the game", if that makes sense. It seems perfectly fine for what it is, it's just not for me. And I think that's fine, it's better for something to not be for everyone in my opinion because then it knows what it wants to be, compared to something trying too hard to be "accessible" and "welcoming" for everyone, and then failing when it's for no one.Although granted I did come here from MMTD collabing with one of the most absurdly in-depth and intricate JRPG games I've ever played, so, maybe that's also part of it lmao.

>>1978107it's fine. it would probably be a bit of a whiplash if you're a fan of traditional smt-style rpgs and went from those to tsk. at least you got to enjoy lulu and her being in the cafe.hopefully they give lulu a second beast god form to commemorate her victory.
>somehow one of the top 100 ranked players on the server i'm on>when all i did was beat the first chapter and punch the training dummy in the face a few timesi'm going to be honest i really don't know how to feel about this, i'm actually kind of amused.is this a 'server has no players' issue or is the game really just that dead?also figured i'd add one more thing since i only caught this while trying to figure out how to skip the story while just getting from level 9 to 10 for the one last ticket in the Three Actually Good Games but>to the game's credit it does not claim to status quo away all the destruction>it will, however, refuse to show you that destruction and still looks perfectly intact>trying to skip the dialogue (because protagonist is doing yet another internal monologue and i can't be assed) i notice neon is panicking>look at what she's said>turns out she's finally getting a job, from the boss himself>which amounts to "go look in my old house you fell into yesterday">she's overjoyed and finally displays an emotion other than "giant asshole" and becomes much more sociable and friendly>they remind her this is only because she stole credit for their work>she doesn't even care about that anymore, now she has a job>manager tells her there's a catch>because she kept screwing with all of them (and also they don't like her) they have chosen one of their squad to be her and protag's professional tardwrangler to make sure they don't fuck everything up>neon is fine>protagonist actually complains about this and gets told to shut up or they'll kill him (based)>cuts to next day>her tardwrangler is the one girl she kept fucking over and ridiculing the most, and also the one who hates her the mosti will accept this as a good enough moment to feel contentshout out to the poor shota-loving goat mommy who was forced to live in this shotaless city, best girl
>>1978172>Top 100 playersWow you're a pro now, you should start making guides for the game!
>>1978173sure>tip oneyou probably shouldn't play this unless you really want those three ticketsi can make an actual tip list if you want, but i will be doing it in the unprofessional manner i'm sure you'd be expecting given what my descriptions of the game are like.it really is a tragedy that some of the designs are going to be locked in here though. i actually really do like shenmue quite a lot, and she feels like a girl who would've been right at home in mmtd. which is fitting since she's clearly based on shubby. helps she's one of the 1*s who's been really useful, too.
>>1978181I was actually joking given the top 100 thing, the game is such ass that I'll just get my tickets and leave.If I was so desperate for an idle game then I'd rather suffer with Techcronoss or Mabugal.
>>1978185i figured you were joking, i just thought i'd ask is all since i didn't feel like putting in the effort to do that unless someone wanted me to. it's just a disappointment. i'm glad some of you have found my posts over it to be entertaining though.
I've been thinking about it and I find it somewhat baffling how it's easier to ask a question and get a straight answer for all these porn gachas while if you try to ask a question in one of the 'normal' gachas then you'll get culture war shitposts, some idiot telling you to roll who you want or casuals that have no clue what they're talking about
>>1978223is that 'roll for who you want' directed at being for someone who just started out, or don't actually care about any character on something, because if that's the case then i can see that being really annoying to get an answer yeah. but there's some people who just like the idea of everyone using characters they likein general though>why are normal threads like an insane asylumthe people who play these games are very dedicated and will have very strong conflicting ideas over it and the larger the group the worse it will be. gacha is infamous for this. even this thread hasn't been immune to that before, it's just very rare and usually doesn't last too long.and i'm pretty sure every casual player here left a long time ago. there's not really anyone left but the people who are committed to it now.
Pro: Filters out the easily shamed types and can get straight answersCon: Getting stuck with unashamed autistic types is a dice roll of helpful to floorshitter
>>1978237>>1978234It's usually directed at everyone, I've always thought that trying to get information for gachas or games in general is like pulling teeth because you end up having to dance around the subject, dealing with the 'Roll whoever you want!' casuals that will scream if you ever ask about meta or gameplay things or the casuals that log in maybe once a week or don't actually play the game but like hanging out.Meanwhile I ask for help in a DMM game then someone would help me create the most soullessly meta team ever made to cheese every stage possible or seriously try to help building a themed team that is actually helpful or workable instead of slapping random units with zero considerations to synergy, gameplay or skills because gameplay is for losers.
>>1978238I like themed teams
/vg/ also has the misinformation like GOD there is so much fucking misinformation and by the time you find out the truth it is too late
>>1977702For one moment I thought this place's description of the Protagonist was under weird japanese that could cause misunderstandings but seeing comments like this looks like I dodged a bullet.>>1977728And these>>1977915I don't really have an issue in protagonists that can't fight like Guda from FGO or Sensei from Blue Archive. Just showing them contribute their own way works. Sensei for example had a part the elite team of SRT defeated all of the police sent after them and there were only 4 remaining by the time he arrived. He led them and actually succeeded in bringing victory them.Small scenes like that displaying how an MC can help and not being dead weight do wonders.That said what the hell is going on? This is like the fifth gacha I see that it completely misses the point of a game like this. I can understand western games hiring retarded women that can ruin a franchise but I can't understand eastern companies shooting themselves on the foot like that.Seriously, it's something so ridiculously simple. Make cute girls and have proper interactions. They can be brash and even tsun at first, the MC can be selfish or a manchild but you just need to give them bare minimum likeability.Fail at that and your game is sure to die. Like, this is the one requirement you need to fulfill. And you need it just to have a *chance* at surviving.A game with nothing to its name won't survive like that. I can only imagine it was some retarded nepotism situation that put the writer in place and even then that's stretching a lot.
>>1978260the depressing truth is that dogshit games can survive if they have sexo designs that make people horny so I guess they're aiming for that and just not hitting it
>>1978260fun fact i didn't include, it took until the literal very end of the first chapter for him to mention he was an archeologist, despite him falling into old ruins when the angel blew up the city, because that's how little he actually matters despite them seemingly building him up to be a self-insert god. neon is a smug jackass but she's still preferable to his constant pretentious internal monologues that half the time are about a guy who was clearly written just to die.>>1978264while you're absolutely correct, as i mentioned early every girl only has a single sex scene and it takes a bit to get to them for multiple girls.i think there's four likely explainations for this>the story is being severely rushed to get it into a bare minimum state because they really wanted a fourth tower defense game for TDF>it was written by a pretentious and extremely entitled moron who focuses on neon and the protag because they're self-inserts for them, and by extension the writer probably just got where they are by stealing ideas and taking credit for others work until they were finally "recognized" for their "true talent">nepotism hire/pure incompetent attempt at an intricate melodrama due to having no understanding of restrain or pacing or time>the game is just a trojan horse to leech players off of tower defense game and the story is an excuse plot no one cared aboutbeing entirely honest with you I actually think it's the second one at this point, because everything just comes off as extremely pretentious and indulgent, as if the writer thinks they're a genius and wants to constantly get pats on the back for arata being a magnificent narrative tool despite him having no real setup and dying immediately just to give the protagonist an excuse to think angels suck.
>>1978242With /vg/ the big issue is that half of the gacha players left during the site downtime to the other site and then only those who care about posts per minute then left /gacha/ when 4chan came back, this made a big difference in quality.
>>1978297That site is just the big gacha generals though, if you play a niche game or a DMM game then you're forced to here and those people are too.And honestly, I don't like the ID system a lot since it discourages you from voicing your true thoughts so I've always liked the anonymity of 4chan even if it does come with massive downsides.
>>1978300Fair enough but from my point of view in the fastest generals, those are a need. Every big gacha general had a dedicated shitposter, some of them spamming CP or scat every single minute. The mods weren't just incompetent but outright detrimental as every new measure to block them was circumvented and made life worse for the average poster. Eventually they started banning the people that were reporting that because they gave up.I'll take IDs any day over having to go through that shit again.

Which VPN do you guys use to run DMM? I tried Tunnelbear and it worked for a single day but then it stopped working at all, can't connect. SO I need another one.

How do I get through this part? It looks like the tutorial wants me to activate her skill, but it's not charged, and the game is paused so...

as an aside, they mentioned honoring and worshipping the "three gods of xoth" in r'lyeh recently, which i realized was actually a reference to the xothic legends story series, which centers on three of cthulhu's direct biological sons. one anon had mentioned theories of some of the girls being based on his sons or other obscure references, and the game confirms this as true, as one of them, the former npc leader, was released as the first event character and is clarified as a child of ghatanothoa itself (cthulhu's most famous son, although the game goes with a japanese nautilus theme based on an old tv monster and not the canonical 'elephant-like-whatthefucktopus'), which would mean the frog-girl from pre-release was indeed based on ythogtha and the other girl is zoth-ommog.which, well, combined with the admittedly subtle reference to yog-sothoth, starts to make me a little sad.pretentious and terrible as the main writer is, there clearly were SOME people who worked on this game that were truly genuine fans of lovecraft's works. cthulhu himself, or hastur, or cthulga, or even the generic and archtypical outer gods like shub and azatoth and yog, that's one thing.to place special importance on uncommon, seldom-seen ones from the mythos, ones not often referenced and barely known, even dedicating part of the setting's religion to them and favoring them in leu of more common and recognizable individuals such as the deep ones and dagon/hydra or such, and not even touching on popular icons like nylathotep or atlach or even staples like shoggoths yet, was the kind of thing i was actually hoping for in a game like this. at least some people on the team really did care, which is just really unfortunate.
i just realized on that note that >>1978629 is built around summoning special minions which, as one can observe from the depiction behind her, is an amorphous bat-like abberation that also has several forked tentacles ending in splits and a starry sky like mass. they're byakhee, which are commonly associated as servants of hastur and answer the call of sorcerers, especially servants of their master to act as their steeds. which also originate from one of my favorite stories (the festival). she's built around summoning a ton of byakhee.which just makes me think of this and it's endlessly funny now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYjCIor2C7E (the other song is good too but the end of this one i think really sums up this game more than anything else)
Anyone here managed to set up Lunatranslator? I feel I'm stuck here
>>1978710I can't GetGlyph
So I managed to by toggling SHOW in the corresponding boxes of dialogue and character title. But it will start clogging with the UI if I do more since it all shares the same slow.I plan to combine with Bepindex later tonight to see if I can set it so Luna can still extract the original japanese text to translate dialogues while Bepindex deals with the UI
>game has a character story for cthulhu as it turns out>but appropriately it takes the form of manuscripts>to my surprise, it is actually quite apt for lovecraft>opens with a man having spent his savings to bring his dearly beloved wife on a renowned cruise ship for a weekend trip>the time in the sea feels incredible to them, but as they get closer to their destination, the sea starts to still>one night he has horrible dreams, and as his wife comforts him the ship rocks, and then breaks>ship's going down, people are panicking>when the two get to the top deck, he finds there's no lifeboats at all>but the crew makes an announcement so they're still here>he leaves his wife at the deck and tells her to stay safe while he tries to find the captain>begins to suffer a headache>he finds the captain, a bloated drowned corpse, mouth ripped apart and eyes bulging out the sockets like someone tried to make a human look like a fish>captain mocks him, informing him that this was a one-way trip, and they have arrived>you all shall be sacrifices for our evil god>horrified he runs back to find his wife>when he sees her, his wife shrieks with horror and runs>he turns to see his reflection in a door>he has also begun to mutate, his body horribly warped>the ship break apart, and they fall into the sea>when he dives into the ocean to find his beloved wife, he sees 'it' rising from the deep>the evil god>rapidly his mind and personality are erased>he forgets about his whole life, even his love, and ponders why he was so worried at all>after all, this was just a simple trip, and now he's finally back home>in r'lyeh, where he always lived>......>............>oh, right, this is the "GOOD GUY" here, and the protagonist's entire reason for hating the angels was that they killed one innocent person and so therefore the angels are massive cuntsyou know i'm starting to think their idea was conceptually flawed from the start
oh also>think the event will be helpful due to no stamina meter?>don't worry they thought of that!>you get five plays of the event, one for each of the five stages in it>want to play more to grind the event and get the items?>give 50 gacha gems for one additional play at an event stageboy, i'm sure that's gonna work out
Just to confirm cause I'm following the https://pastebin.com/U1s5GWxYAnd it says:Next we place both Bepinex into your mmms_td_r18 folder, found in your main directory next to documents and download folders on windowsFor example C:\Users\Me\mnms_td_r18\Extract Bepinex first, then the auto translate and make sure that the Bepinex folder is directly inside making it look like thisC:\Users\Me\mnms_td_r18\BepInEx\I am meant to put these resulting Bepinex, core, patchers and plugins in the TD folder?

Bepinex works simultaneously with Lunatranslator for anyone interested. This means you get to have the UI and log translated while also having a text box with the translation onscreen bypassing the character limit for a smoother experience.The mouse icon of this box allows you to click through it in the game too.
>>1978791I dunno if you still need help but you put the core, patchers and plugins folder inside the bepinex folder
i will not lie anonsi quite like shemerane (formerly shenmue)just erase the cringe protagonist since he isn't based enough like the guys in the other games
>>1978840So with that the game will be fully translatable, good to know. I take it the Luna translator doesn't work with the UI properly which is why it works for the story.Now we just need someone to go through the story and get it all translated, preferably with better than google v2, then share it.
>>1978907NTA but I've already translated (or at least done my best to translate) chapters 1-5, what would be the best way to share that?>>1978902Well I'm glad there's at least a girl you can like in there anon.
>>1978909Probably just catbox.moe the files, they should be quite small as text too
>>1978901Yeah I tried again and again until it worked. Not sure I had to reboot the PC or if I did something wrong at first. Then I combo’ed with Luna here >>1978840>>1978907Technically it was always translatable via Bepinex. The issue was more that Bepinex had inconveniences like a character count limit in a text box that couldn’t exceed the original. Since japanese is at least a syllabe per character and at most an entire phrase in a kanji, this caused a cutoff that needed you to repeatedly check the Log.So every time someone spoke you’d have to stop, click log, check what was said, close log and repeat in the next dialogue.Luna doesn’t have that issue. It will display the full content in its box, which makes far more convenient for reading. But since everything in Luna is shared in the same textbox, you will clog everything with a full page if you set it to translate all elements of the UI at once.By setting up both translators at once you circumvent both issues since Luna seems to translate from the inner Japanese when you set from Hook instead of by what’s onscreen. Meaning you get Bepinex to deal all those elements of the UI while Luna will give you the full dialogues.The weird part is both Luna and Bepinex are translating from Google so there shouldn’t have been differences in the results but Bepinex seem to struggle more. Like if someone stutters it translates everything as separate words and the like. I’m thinking Luna’s method of dragging straight from the origin somehow makes it have more consistency.
wow, they actually are going through with this man, but maybe it's just way too late for them to back out of it now and there's just absolutely nothing for them to do but keep going and hope to god that something turns aroundeither way i have no idea why she was the one they picked for mmtd when she's really just a magical girl and the other two games got monster girls. though granted aigis gets neon and i'd rather not that cunt be on the island. she is unworthy.
oh, and just as a heads up for our okyuubro here, i think you can probably breathe a sigh of relief.she's not coming. or at least she's not "the one" who is the representative.the featured mmtd girl this time seems to be varina, surprisingly. maybe because there's just so many similar looking girls, okyuu wouldn't have stood out from the crowd at all? or maybe it's because okyuu would make all of them look bad. or, potentially, okyuu would just fucking hate all these people because of how terrible so many of them are. maybe all three. let's go with all three.also r'lyeh got turned into a living city monster girl as you would expect, but like, do any of you actually care enough about any of these other games for me to even bother posted the stuff that isn't strictly mmtd related?either way for the poor bastard who was hoping they weren't gonna make him play any more of this, hope you're ready to go insane.

>>1979257if it's any consolation, due to aigis being dmm's posterchild and one of it's longest runners as a whole, that seems to be the reason why aigis gets all the 'main character' treated girls, and everyone else gets the others. the developers to my understanding also treat cosplay outfits and character costumes as being wholly representative of the girl they're designed after in question, and they are treated as if for all intents and purposes, they are that girl.so, essentially, okyuu was already picked for a collaboration and put into a game. it's just in the form of a representative cosplay, and she's in aigis, where the most popular and most featured girls (usually) tend to go (lulu was an outlier but i think that one ranger looking identical to lulu might be why). and as you know since i've seen you talk/post about it before okyuu did have a major role in the last tdf due to it being the finale of the og arc that was also her own debue, even if she was mostly just in the first half of it. so even if it's not the same, it's probably the reason, and at the very least take consolation that she was recognized and treated well since the unit is good, even if it's still not the same as having her herself. better than the alternative at least.atheel and mauro getting to be over there in full for the atheelbro and maurobro itt is nice too. i guess a lot of thread enjoyed girls are in aigis.
>>1979293Well I do really want the Nieve Okyuu Cosplay Outfit so I guess that's true, plus it was really quite fun to read the other two events and see Okyuu being perfectly Okyuu in them and her fun banter with Kuromi. Honestly the three mirror versions and focus on the protagonist trio as a whole was fantastic and I really loved that story arc as a whole. So thanks anon. Hopefully I'll be able to get Okyuu's handmade cosplay outfit she used to help promote her store, even across the dimensional boundaries of other worlds!!And hopefully this collab story ends up being good too, since it's for the tenth anniversary of Castle:RE.
since it's concretely been added (as the inbred stepchild) to the good game trio and they'll almost certainly start adding missions to "encourage" you to """play""" it, i have decided to take a quick moment and provide a helpful showcase for everyone to speedrun things. from day one i could tell what was meta and at a certain point in the arena every team has 3~5 of these girls.assuming average luck these are currently the strongest characters in the game>chasey (1* pink jellyfish)melee. chance for all damage to be true damage for 3 sec each attack. gives regen to all frontliners and boosts the hp of her faction up +30%. auto is high damage aoe that heals up to 50% of her health. skill gives all frontline lifesteal for 20 seconds.>lucerto (1* giant)tank. attack buff when beating enemy. innate regen and DR. also has an aoe that heals up to 50%. skill fully heals, increases hp up to 80%, attack up to 300%, and makes all attacks aoe for 30 seconds.>lofi (1* seaweed?)archer. reduces enemy speed by 10%. also gives frontline passive regen, and buffs her faction's attack by +9% (this buffs chasey). every 5 sec will fire a spreadshot at +150% attack with true damage. skill is her spamming this for 20 seconds.>magnara (1* seaslug)the honorary 4*. deals +30% damage to poisoned enemies. passive lowers all enemy poison resistance + bonus close range poison. auto spawns sludge aoe for 5 sec that rapidly damages enemies and slows+poisons them. her skill spawns one that covers 1/3rd of the field for 15 seconds. damage stacks if they overlap. she's utterly ridiculous.>igna (2* cthugha)gunner. mascot of the cthugha faction and one of the promo girls (going to Castle:RE). bonus damage on kill. passive has her attacks be doubleshot. auto gives her next attack up to 200% damage and makes it six-shot. her skill gives her this INDEFINITELY. it's cooldown is massive but if the fight lasts long enough to activate she will obliterate everything. you WILL need her to kill hastur.
>>1979328oh also awakening characters gives much higher stat buffs than leveling them up. you can beat most content severely under the level recommendation with awakenings. the level recommendation accuracy also varies wildly. most of the time it doesn't actually line up if you did put them to that level without awakening them.in any case game bad but hopefully this makes it less trial-and-error to deal with.
game fun
>>1979342game can be fun in some ways but still be badthe pvp mode is getting to me though, it's just really really funny in a way
>>1979215So who's going to be sacrificed to cthulu?
>>1979214Okyuu would teach them how to make her takoyaki
They should send Okyuu to Cthulu because they both have tentacles
Kind of sounds like they wanted to make monster girl game where the monster girls don't automatically love the MC and also assholes on top of it.
>>1979369NTA but that's probably how things would start out.However while I was reading through some of the sidestuff (because the main story evidently is just not worth the effort to bother) they're pretty racist and unpleasant to be around.And I don't mean that in a "lol rape" way or even just the implied/informed/shown murder and sacrifice. Or even just, well, the majority of the cast being extremely rude or arrogant, they just lack basic common sense.They literally do not know what the word "cleaning" is, for example.And he has to explain the concept to the shub girl at some point, and their city is filled with trash and refuse that attracts a ton of bugs and rubble and all their pips are frequently clogged. When he tries to explain it while cleaning trash a lot of civilians throw trash at his face for fun. Also the shub girl turns out to have horrifically mutilated and killed numerous humans because her 'tentacle milk' is actually a mutagen that turns them into her 'children' but the process frequently kills them in agony and the one you see that survived chases her down to try and tear her apart while groaning "mama". All the while she doesn't understand why it's turning out this way because she just wants to comfort them. And the only reason she did it was because she was trying to save them, because the citizens value humans so little that they leave them abandoned to die alone in the streets without aid.It really does feel like Okyuu would be super excited to get there at first, and then once she actually arrived would realize what the place is actually like and regret ever going. I had a dream like that actually, where she was increasingly outraged and then eventually hit a point where she was too disappointed to be mad anymore and she just wanted to go home to be with Master.Also they don't even need to eat (thought they can) and are more amused by the idea. So I don't know if she'd even succeed in the endeavor anyway.
>>1979378>And he has to explain the concept to the shub girl at some point, and their city is filled with trash and refuse that attracts a ton of bugs and rubble and all their pips are frequently clogged.damn so you're telling me the game is set in india?
>>1979378yes her story is surprisingly darkwas pretty good compared to most of them though, i just started skipping a lot of them for being too boring and samey.>but the bugs are cute though!
I did the story for the flat plant girl and the banner healer but I just wanted the H-scene and didn't really pay attention
>>1979379basically yeah r'lyeh is just arab/india in the ocean. complete with like four different groups who keep trying to destroy/infiltrate it. mostly yellow hats who hate them.like say what you want about gespenst island, and about their girls all being retards. they're still not THAT bad. kuromi has a panic attack and goes into a coma when she thinks the protagonist believes she has bad hygiene. they actually keep their island very clean.>>1979381honestly i've skipped most of them at this point, because the only one that stands out in my memory is shemerane's. i think the pipes being fucked is from neon's though, since dealing with pipes is the mission she takes just to spite the group that's supposed to do it. most of the others just feel too much of the same thing of>tentacle girl doesn't understand feelings and (basic human thing)and shemerane's stuck out because it went from that into 'ok but what if we remembered for a minute that this is lovecraft and there's supposed to be eldritch horror shit going on'. also the idea is kinda hot. she claims it turns out like that if you try to resist and go against it and it makes it go wrong which is why she never tries to forcefeed it to anymore and she doesn't even use charm magic she knows either. people just panic when they notice the changes and it snowballs.
any translation for the lulu story in tsk?
>>1979384So it's like a darker take of monster girls where they actually show you the results of their instinct and whims unlike in our game where the gag genre tag protects everyone especially Goshujin-kun.And the protagonist isn't blessed with a friendly partner like Goshujin-kun, Prince, and Dono.
>>1979393at least several have nearly killed him by accident if not attack him, many threaten to just kill him for being annoying, and a lot of them (neon) also frequently mock humans (wow, humans are that frail?? wow, are humans really that dumb??)and yes they show you the results of both what happens with lovecraft monster girls do things (AAAAIE I'M GOING INSAAANE), when lovecraft things do things (NIGGERMAN HELP MEEEEEEE), and ultimately your side really do not look like good guys or even neutral guys at all and evil god is apt, all of the factions are murderous cut-throat and pretty henious, you just ended up in r'lyeh because your dead gay boyfriend who gets his own va and more screen time than any of the main characters in the prologue was killed by an angel on accident from trying to see if he had da key and so therefore you hate angels now for doing the same thing your side does.>the protagonist isn't blessed with a friendly partner like Goshujin-kun, Prince, and Dono.he is.it's neon.yes, really, she's supposed to be that. that's part of why i hate her so much, because she's pushed to death as being your best friend when she's just a giant asshole who steals credit for everyone's work out of spite for not being as good as she thinks she is.there's also the oracle of cthulhu (she fills the vivi mascot role) but she does pretty much nothing and all her dialogue is just "i'm sleepy".
you know actually i have a better way to put ityou know some anons have made complaints about mmtd regarding a lot of the things being extremely cruel and a lot of the girls being cunts and the enemy faction is the only one that gets sympathy from them and actually they're the good guys here and your side are massive hypocritesthis game is basically that, except all of that is actually true this time, and not just extreme hyperbole.
>>1979402well, maybe not all of that the angels don't really look like good guys either, but the only one who talks make a lot of good points that they can't refute.
I feel like a manwhore, I feel dirty and ruined now. It was only 10 seconds as I skipped it but that doesn't help.
Could Goshujin-kun resist some of the insanity effects? I think he was the only one so far in the Kumasan collab to be able to resist the hypnosis from the baby bear and needed extra hypnosis so maybe?
>>1979404Some things have a price that I'm just not willing to pay. Not even on TD instead of TDX.If I don't like a girl she doesn't get looked at, simple as.You should've known, but i still kinda bad though.Just pretend it doesn't happen.>>1979405Shotamatter means he's build different, if he can banish demons with his underwear he can probably look at Cthulhu and not go insane.Although this also kinda hinges on how they're doing it, since classic Lovecraft madness is actually you going TOO sane instead of insane because you suddenly have become aware of the true scope of things and then get thrust back into the normal world, so everyone loses the ability to cope with the truth they've been forced to learn as it's too much for them to bear. But given how ridiculous his world already is he's probably fine.
>>1979408They break the 4th wall all the time and he somehow never gets it. I'm sure he'll be fine.
>>1979412I always saw it not as 'I don't get it' but him deliberately choosing to ignore it and move on because he knows better, which is basically what one of the best protections against this is anyways so yeah he'll be fine either way.
>the new art is vivi hypnotizing masterkek
https://x.com/monmusu_td/status/2035706171466924196It's time to grow up, Goshujin-kun. Time to start supporting the family and raise money for your baby brother like your older brothers, Prince and Dono, did for you.
>bother finding out what's meta for Ryleh>it's water team with constantly regenerating bruisers and ranged with massive AoE damage and poison with half the comp being low raritySome things never change.
>>1979512it is unworthy, undeserving
Beg for forgiveness and you may find it Silva
How long does this event last or how many nodes are there? I'm gonna be busy with work until Thursday so I won't be able to progress much
>>1979661Vinegar Tamina
>>1979661it has the duration of the event under the title of the event (3/16 - 3/30), it's just more like (3/15-3/29) due to japan being a day ahead
>>1979664Alright that will do
>>1979661Please, replace that autogeneratedtranslations file with thishttps://files.catbox.moe/w10crn.txt
>>1979693Okay! Once I get back home cause I'm about to go to work
>>1979693But what will happen to my vinergarTaMiNa?
https://youtu.be/2LwXDPFP1lU?si=C-wjrtbPgr7dolal
you know it's funny i actually think the ythogtha girl's battle model is cuter and more attractive than her art, but it makes her look more adult and i'm not into lolis (re: goat mommy) so i guess that's why.also looking at her i can guarantee you all that once the 3* girls start getting upgrades, she WILL be the strongest ranged dps in this game. her skill at it's default level is magnara's skill at it's highest level except it trades bonus poison damage and 5 seconds of duration for stronger slow down, her trait's natural crit/crit damage buff, and being applicable for all of the r'lyeh faction buffs and her default attacks become capable of stunlocking things with rapid damage once her passive is unlocked. and when the skill gets upgraded the aoe does up to 400%, twice of magnara's, with a shorter initial use time and the same cooldown. maybe it's a bit early to call it but i think she'll probably be the raikon here.
>>1979711Gone, like a fart in the wind
>>1979378>Also the shub girl turns out to have horrifically mutilated and killed numerous humans because her 'tentacle milk' is actually a mutagen that turns them into her 'children' but the process frequently kills them in agony and the one you see that survived chases her down to try and tear her apart while groaning "mama". All the while she doesn't understand why it's turning out this way because she just wants to comfort them. And the only reason she did it was because she was trying to save them, because the citizens value humans so little that they leave them abandoned to die alone in the streets without aid.stuff like this is why I expected the sex scenes to be rapey from the girl's side but both of the ones I've seen had the girls being dominated by the MC.
>>19796617 story nodes + 4 ex nodes without story
>>1979809nta but it's because the protagonist is your generic obnoxious self-insert isekai japanese salaryman who gets to become the center of the universe that everyone wants to possess and has plot armor (literally, the intro girl has intervened four times by this point in order to keep him from getting killed, he only survives on deus ex machinas). so that wouldn't work, because he's supposed to be the giga-based chad guy everyone loves like the master or prince or lord, he just didn't actually do anything to warrant it beyond waking up squiddy by crying about his dead gay boyfriend being killed by those mean greek angels.in any case while i agree lovecraft stuff should been more rape-aligned he and neon keep getting paired up in every story and already have that whole kinda generic isekai lover thing going on which for a girl collector game like this seems quite abnormally strange. to be honest with you this whole game really feels more and more like the writer just wanted to make his own anime/manga/etc but wasn't able to so he put it in a gacha instead. the story's terrible already sure but it really would have worked better in a different format.
I've pulled her four times now, is she good? I was hoping I'd get to be able to break open the unlocks for one of the other girls, but I guess everything keeps funneling into her so I might as well try to use her.
>>1979836she hits very hard and lowers the magic defense of what she hits but her gimmick of instant death ends up feeling like a tag-on. you only need to unlock her close-range attack and then focus on the rest. the problem is everything she does has extremely long wind-ups so she'll sometimes shoot a place where things aren't located anymore, and unless you try to predict where things are going or have a cc method to keep all your targets in place (like squiddy's desk slam) she's liable to miss her skill. if you put her to auto she will always waste it every time.she's pretty mid, but this is a statbrick game so just stat the brick so she'll be good to throw at things.
ok yeah this guy's just bootleg randolph carter and the deus-ex-machina girl is nyarlathotep they've even abruptly decided to just throw him into the dreamlands and had him go to ulthar where the payed-girl-on-launch character lives and they're just gonna copy through the gate with the silver key and the dream quest.i figured she was nyarly, but the rush to just force her in has just killed all interest in her and she's just turned into a waste. she even pretty much said she's having to directly intervene so many times now that she might as well introduce herself personally at this point when she's whipping the angel prior to this. it's all way too rushed.
>and now he's being called the demon king>but it's in dreamlandif this is literally something that will happen only in his dreams i admit that's actually kind of funny in a way
>dreamland!neon is the noble hero fighting against the demon army (dream!shoujo-tai) who is committed to killing the demon king (protagonist) and saving the land of based talking cats>already know this won't actually pan out and real asshole neon is gonna have to come backdamnit
They cowarded out on a Gespenst-style punishment scene with that angel. sm hDidn't want to ruin nyarl's image before even releasing her I guess
and his motivation given to keep going forward in this situation is still his promise to arata the dead voiced human male npc from the intro because he wants to find that kitten keychain and give it to his sister who will somehow miraculously be alive over 1,000+ years in the future still.seeing how totally-not-nyarly was isn't worth this, i might go back to skipping everything again.>>1979894given the flame wars that have happened over them (especially when the girl's onscreen to do it herself) and it not being a common fetish in the first place i guess they actually did learn one lesson from mmtd despite taking fifty steps back in every other department. either that or nyarly was too busy giving her super philosophical and dramatic monologue since she kept demanding she get finish it and they didn't want to show the angel with her body covered in charred flesh and a wing bloodily torn off, since that is what the angel looked like at the time.
>>1979894You can get your fill of cuckoldry from all the other scenes since he's basically cucking Neon with every girl in the game despite swearing his heart and soul to her.
To say something nice about the current kumafes game, I really like their OP song honestly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye4Hjb37TqcThe fact that it's by fripside is very surprising too since they're pretty mainstream singers
>>1979939It is a nice song. A lot of their openings are pretty fun to be honest.
Can Tantaru go in the next collab and give him the prostate massage he so desperately pines for?
>>1979974master or isekai-guy
>>1979421please let this be the day 1500 vivi scene
Look I'm not gonna lie this has been the most fun thing in the entire game that I've played so far and stuff like this (monster girls playing fun minigames) was also what I always hoped a game like MMTD would get eventually but it's been the best part of this entire launch and I'm not really sure how I feel about that.Hopefully I can find something redeeming about Neon.........
>after the engulfing light our group finds the school has turned into a dungeon>they panickedly ask Vivi what's going on and she reveals even she didn't know the true capabilities of this dangerous item when she accidentally lost it due to carelessness>it turns out this whole treasure hunt was just a way to get the whole school to search for it as she didn't expect much real help actually just asking for it>on the topic of the special Vivi treasure it appears its location has shifted when the school did as well so we have to find it yet again to reverse this mess>it seems Asta can feel it since she left some saliva on it>on MC's questioning if she was trying to eat it she claims she wouldn't eat boxes, she was just drooling a bit at the thought of food being inside>following Asta, the area is disorienting, but suddenly for Silva a familiar feeling>it's her previous club room along with her previous underground club>it's only been a day since her promotion to teacher, but it already feels distant>Silva tries to explain she didn't actually quit the club, but is interrupted by their outbursts>her prior club is angry/sad at her leaving and want her back which is their wish in the treasure hunt>after beating them down, Silva explains she's still going to be a part of their club>not just that she plans to become their official advisor making them into a real club with budget>Asta stops MC from trying to be a partypooper as Silva's club gets into a big group hug and they drown in those honkers>even Podel admits defeat in the boobs category>now off to continue searching for the special Vivi treasure
>nearing the treasure, we spot a poacher from poacher academy>as MC tries to accuse them of wanting to poach, it turns out the poacher has found the special Vivi treasure>upon being asked to hand it over, he says if the poachers are left off the hook for poaching which is simply off the table>taking them out like usual, we retrieve the special Vivi treasure>just a bit longer before the treasure hunt period is over too>Petra wonders if they need to shut the lid to reverse all this, but try as they might it won't budge>suddenly, a Margell shaped silhouette shows up asking if they'd like a deal
>trying to ask Margell more about the treasure, she explains she wants a deal>Vivi asking what she wants, Margell reveals she wants to expand the purchasing department>grant her wish and she'll tell you how to close the lid>or give her the treasure and she'll close the lid herself>the group is hesitant at having all their work going into winning this event taken at the last moment>asking Vivi, she says it doesn't really matter to her who wins~>just kidding>those who work hard should be rewards as this is a school after all>so we choose to have Margell reveal the method through force>she however has prepared hired help and calls for the knights of knight academy
>defeating them, Margell's plans for the school store to expand into a franchise are over>where would you even open them>also how did you get those guys to follow you>I threatened would reveal all the dirty books they purchased to the public if they didn't>how pitiful>Vivi tells Margell to cough up lest she have to threaten her too>Margell decides to whisper it to MC>what!?>you want me hug the special Vivi treasure tight and stroke the lid while whispering sweet words to it!?>there's absolutely no way, is this your fetish?>Margell claims no, but she would like to acquire MC's ASMR work>Vivi just tells him to try it and start the recording>Petra encourages him while also suggesting he do "praising a girl who's trying her best">reluctantly performing the actions required, the school turns back to normal>we skip to a few days after with everything normal>for the wishes, Petra got a clubroom for her crafts club, Silva got a budget for her underground club, and Asta got infinite bento from the school store for the life of the school>MC asks Vivi about the threat of the school actually closing down due to that last one and it seems Vivi has hoisted responsibility onto a struggling Margell>Petra thinks back to the ASMR bit and would like it to happen to her>Asta also wants to be stroked, she can even turn into a chest too>Silva wants to do the patting instead though and embraces/envelops a quickly muffled MC>and so the story ends though not a few hours later, there would be riots at the school store>it turns out Margell had recorded MC and started selling limited edition recordings causing massive chaos, but that is another story
Finally time to read the collab
Gespens mentioned
Wow that was the biggest nothingburger everThe kuma girls entered the twinkle world, asked MC if he was the dad to which he said no and they left just like that with literally nothing else happening. Also, the MC didn't get hypnotized at all since I remember someone asking about it.
I'm still surprised this one isn't the one people were trying to get me to play the most, it's just really fun and satisfying
>>1980368Welp guess I have nothing to do there then.
>>1980368what'd you expect from that game desu
>>1980397Less of a problem with the game and more of a problem with the collab honestly, the entire thing feels wholly undercooked and like they barely communicated or prepared.One of the biggest signs was the TSK collab starting while the FKG one was still ongoing and the FKG account tweeting out that they were going to reveal who was going to the TSK world in the kuma channel soon so "stay tuned" when the FKG collab ended.https://x.com/flower_staff/status/2035914934429847592Mind you, this happened when Lulu and Nordhausen were already in the game and most people had already rolled for them so the entire thing smells like lack of communication unlike last year's collab that was a lot more fleshed out.
>>1980401well, considering the disaster it started off with, yeah i can't deny that it felt wholly rushed and lackluster from the start
>>1980392I heard Girls Creation had a weak launch. Not as bad as rlyeh but it wasn't good. Improvements during its 2nd anniversary made it better overall.
>>1980547Ah, well, that's unfortunate, but the gameplay feels pretty fun in the current state it's in at least.I did read that there were troubles with GC's launch while looking more into the girls of the game, but the majority of what I had read was that there were creative delays and problems that abruptly occurred for them due to a sudden copyright extension they didn't expect to happen, as one of the two featured/main girls of the game was apparently planned or is still intended to be Picasso, who had the protections on his works extended even longer. As a result the girl was turned into Arte, a nameless girl with amnesia who just picked a new name for herself, and all the Picasso themeing is reduced to a bunch of really subtle stuff (like the association with roses), and they can't include his paintings either IIRC.It's funny though because while I never disliked Arte as she's a well balanced cheeky, 'skilled and secretly caring but very proud and haughty' sort of personality that is common for artistic eccentrics, I was really curious for a while why they had the poster girl for the game come across like a jerk in a lot of her dialogue, especially compared to how depressed Van Gogh is. And then while looking to find what her Image is supposed to be (she didn't even have one for years apparently) it turned out "oh, she was meant to be Picasso" which would completely explain everything because she's still significantly nicer than the actual Picasso was.
People didn't like logging onto 5 different games for the first collab but they really overcorrected by making the first 2 games 2 weeks apart when they didn't do a 2nd half.Idk maybe this is actually just part 1 with the setup and login/stamina burning events and part 2 which should've been the 2nd halves will be run all at the same time with some sort of raid/boss fight.Wish there were more interactions between the characters though. That's the most important part of collabs.
As an aside while on the topic, Rembrant in a hilariously ironic way feels far more like a protagonist from a lovecraftian cosmic horror story than the actual protagonist from rlyeh doesAlthough it's probably heavy spoilers since it does start to come up in the main story>artistic creator with a passion for darker works>one day stumbles upon a forbidden and profane form of art>the Art of Death, which brings only harm>she knows the art is "heretical" and against the natural order of her world>but she becomes enthralled by it, possessed of the forbidden knowledge>continues to delve deeper and deeper into the research of this dark and blashpemous art>the forbidden knowledge begins to corrupt and curse her>her body regresses and is in pain, she loses sense of taste, she struggles to speak, she can no longer sleep at night>but she keeps going further>slowly begins to amass a large, private collection of AoD>joins the museum, claiming to be researching the AoD, in order to actually acquire even more Art of Death for herself>intercedes when some works are about to be destroyed in order to secret them away for herself and has her assistant cover her tracks>but begins to become friends and care for the Director and all the Artists>she is conflicted over hiding the truth of what she does>she's only able to resist it just enough to avoid going all the way>even so everyone else only knows her as the kind and well-meaning if socially awkward friend who just wants to help others by researching how to counteract the evil work even if it's causing her painI was surprised at she's actually like given how she seemed at the surface level from the event and her introduction where she mentors you on it and then manhandles some thugs. It's a really well done story arc for her with how it's shown.She's my favorite character in it solely just for the plot.
>>1980571Hopefully, I was pretty disappointed when there wasn't even a welfare character given and they didn't even reset the rewards in the first event like they usually do.
>>1980392the flat chested chibis ruin this game for me
you need tits on chibis????
>>1980721That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read.
separate thread for mmtd/this whole group of garbage when?Not much of a point to going to a thread with the topic MonstermusumeTD and seeing literally no posts about it.
>>1980727>Feel free to talk about other tangentially related DMM games.Has been in the OP Posts for an extremely long time anon, and the games being discussed are games in KumaFes and TDF. It's not like anyone's keeping you from talking about MMTD. The thread is simply very slow usually, so discussion being generated by the other games involved with it is natural.
Post a video of your new Apocalypse Dragon then
silva just having giant milk pumps as a bra is maybe the most insane costume I've seen out of this game
>>1980810it's a bit much
I like the other game posts because there's literally no other place on the English speaking internet that I could get others to discuss or talk about these games so it is very enjoyable to see others bring up these games, talk about them and genuinely enjoy them by writing huge informative and helpful posts about them because it feels like someone actually likes the games and wants to share the experience with others
I know that you all abuse the auto settings for skills, but do you make it so that they atleast wait until their skill is active before they use the ACT guage?I have only just decided to make a few units on my main team wait after playing for months, as for telling them to wait until a enemy is in range, that's pointless as almost everyone increases their range on skill.
>>1980822I'll have you know that I play this game myself and I almost never actually use the auto setting unless it's a situation where I'm actively planning out when x skill will be activated at a specific point in time in advance in order to combo things together!But yes, when I do actually use it for that specific purpose of 'activate skills in tandem', I set it so they'd use it when they have the act full.And the "wait until enemy is in range" thing is so you don't have moments like your melee characters wasting their entire skill when no one is nearby.
>>1980819Thank you anon, I'm glad to get to see stuff like that too. Even if it'll be rare to talk about them outside of the collaboration festivals.
>>1980826I still have 14 permanent reruns to do (out of 79), they are all dead easy and not worth paying any attention to, they are just setup and alt tab. I'll probably go back to paying attention when I start on the later part of the hard mode maps.
>>1980835ah, well, if you saved those for last then I guess fair enough but even when I do the reruns now I think it's kinda fun to do them manually. I dunno.
i hadn't even thought of it like that, this really wasn't a well planned out motivation for their secondary main character at all lmao
>they're already gutting their entire elemental attribute system so that there's no resistances>so what's meta will be usable everywherewater (and igna)'s gonna keep on winning it seemsshame about hastur; almost every girl from his i've tried has been terrible.
Not that it matters much since they balanced the difficulty spikes around elemental advantage. It's like TC now.
They're also adding 3 star potential mats to the event exchange in a few days. The game must be flopping pretty hard for them to backtrack on the dupe baiting like that.

>>1981266Cthulu game feels like someone released FKG on present day and tried to pass it as a tower defense game in the year 2026. Whoever was in charge of that project was really smoking the good zaza.
>>1981266I've already dropped it, it's just so boring. Even the "rogue-like" mode is painfully easy and the tower is a tedious snooze-inducing slog. I could forgive it if the story itself was great, because I am a very big Lovecraft fan, but that turned out to be the worst part of the whole thing. Character and Story is far more important than some of these developers realize, if you don't care about any of the girls or what they do or what happens to them, then why should you bother even trying to pull for them? They didn't even have the boss fights or gameplay line up with what happens in the story and even the scenery never changes to match. It just feels like nothing actually happens.>>1981299Is this really what Flower Knight Girls is like? Oof.
>>1981358>Is this really what Flower Knight Girls is like? Oof.Yesn't. FKG was okayish in it's day but it is a 13~ year old game and gachas used to be pretty player unfriendly back in the day which shows because the graphics, UI and everything also haven't been updated in that long. And to clarify, I'm not implying or saying FKG is a bad game because it used to be top fanza for several years before falling off.Cthulu basically evokes the same feeling and probably has around the same amount of budget put into it but with like 10x worse monetization and worse designs which is just sad.
>>198136913 years, that'd explain it yeah, I tried Aigis and I could definitely feel it's age. While there's parts of it that I did still like, my main takeaway was that it's an extreme benefactor of the grandfather clause and if anyone tried to make a game like Aigis without changes nowadays it would not do nearly as well. In a sense, this new game has proven that.Although to clarify I was more asking if that was what FKG's gameplay was like (idle game slop) because I would've been disappointed if I had tried it and only found out then.
>>1981380FKG is just a normal autobattler, the girls have skills that they use every turn automatically then the enemy takes a turn and the battle proceeds without your input.What makes FKG different (and fundamentally broken) is that the characters precast all their abilities before the enemy can do anything so modern FKG powercreep is characters buffing themselves with like 20 offensive buffs, 10 defensive buffs and 5 types of barriers so their damage gets to somewhere in the hundred trillions.The comparison was more about how outdated the game looks in modern times and how nobody in their sane mind would look at picture and call it a tower defense yet that's basically what the devs did for some reason.
>>1981299Yeah the game was very clearly rushed and made by people who didn't know what they were doing.Some odd things I've noticed so far:>Seals are the most valuable currency in the game because you only get a tiny amount from the tower/events, they're permanently lost if you remove an engraving from a character, and you can only buy them from a single one-time pack and the monthly pass.>Seals are also extremely important for power scaling your account, so if you waste them on bad engravings, upgrade engravings on bad characters, or fat finger the reset button, you're fucked and have to wait months if not years to recover.>You can't reset character dupe unlocks, so if you pick a bad one, you have to spend thousands of yen to fix your mistake. Meanwhile in MMTD you can reset dupes with 500 gold.>Artifact stat buffs are additive, meaning they are ignored when getting buffed from other sources. This is most noticeable with attack artifacts, which give massively reduced damage while most skills are active, making them worse than crit artifacts in almost all situations.>You can't see what artifacts in paid packs do until you buy them.
>>1981358How do you make a gacha that leans into the mythos without characters dying left and right?
>>1981390Yeah that doesn't really sound like much of a game at all but I guess you could get away with something like that more easily back then. But I would definitely agree with you that looks nothing at all like Tower Defense and instead just an RPG time capsule. I have absolutely no idea why they would ever try to make something like this and then attempt to so haphazardly pass it off like it's 'tower defense'. Them adding 'idle' to the descriptor after launch still feels especially egregious to me, it's almost like they knew people would either hate it or be uninterested if they were honest about what it was like.Even though I've never played it because I was never interested in it I'm just gonna be honest, plants vs zombies looks like it's a better designed tower defense game, I at least know you have to plant the plants yourself and can't move them around afterwards and the whole thing is properly gridded. What's the point of even using shielders in R'lyeh to block the gate if enemies will literally just walk around them or shoot above them?
>>1981413This game also has that though, even aside from all the countless npc casualities shown and spoken of and that one dude solely existing to be killed in the intro for a crappy attempt at drama, the girls suffer horrible injuries all the time. Neon was shredded into meat chunks at one point and someone else had to shift through the pile of blood and gore to re-assemble her face so she could talk, and the frog with the umbrella was reduced to a nearly unrecognizable smear in the event.There's stories in the mythos WITHOUT everyone or even anyone being shown dying horribly too; what usually happens in those is they either go mad from the knowledge or rely on support to hold on to their mind. My impression is they are trying to do the latter here, the problem is just that pretty much every main character focused on is either one-note and forgettable or extremely unlikable and unsympathetic, and Cthulhu comes off as inept or lazy at best and callously indifferent to everything at worst. And Cthulhu not caring about even his own cultists in pursuit of his goals is perfectly fine and in-character for him. It's showing him behaving that way and then still trying to paint him as a noble and great protector that bothers me.While I'd have to think about how I personally would've done it, I think the setting they made could potentially be salvageable as a basis, the problem is almost entirely how it's presented and written and what they chose to focus on.
>>1981467>Cthulhu comes off as inept or lazy at bestWhat, did he dutch tape the key onto the back of a rock too?
>>1981412It's more like>only wakes up at x time because either the protagonist had a plot power or he finally felt like defending his city>later the city is attacked again>he has a magic barrier around the city so everyone thinks they're safe>giant angel robot begins to destroy his barrier while girl angel talks to Neon and the protagonist about how they don't really understand Cthulhu at all and that he's not the only God or even that nice of a God>they look at Cthulhu>Cthulhu does nothing>giant angel robot destroys the barrier>angels flood into the city and start slaughtering people>buildings and city segments reduced to rubble>"I don't understand!">they have to flee underground after nearly dying>two chapters later they come back above ground with three characters>only NOW does Cthulhu actually stand up and then effortlessly manhandle the giant angel robot that was trashing the place>totally destroys it>angels flee>puts the bubble back in place>goes to sleep>thousands dead if not more>at least half his city is destroyed>Iä R'lyeh! Cthulhu fhtagn!He also got bamboozled by a cat in the dreamland and he might or might not have been brainwashed too but the whole dreamland thing was such a total waste that it's not really the biggest problem I had with it. In general he's just really unimpressive here.They totally wasted the dreamlands as well, they didn't try, it's literally just used for a "we're trapped in an RPG World where I'm the Demon Lord, and everyone else is an NPC!" arc, complete with looping dialogue lines, and has almost nothing to do with the source and is promptly rushed through in a single chapter. It's literally just there so they can have an isekai IN their isekai and use it to talk about how the protagonist is a threat to all reality because he's just so important and cool guys. There's not even a good excuse for how they got there in the first place, it abruptly begins and ends.
>>1981503sorry meant to reply to >>1981487
>>1981503>they had to brainwash neon to make her likable>also it's just bonus isekai slopi'm even more disappointed now, and he was still complaining about his dead gay boyfriend throughout what i did read of it too, why do they keep trying to focus on that guy
>>1979693Like, overwriting it?
>>1981415>What's the point of even using shielders in R'lyeh to block the gate if enemies will literally just walk around them or shoot above them?this is my biggest complaint. even the enemies that start in the same lane will still walk past the defender. also the canon enemies just shooting over them to one shot the wall is annoying. this is the same thing for 2-30, the boss just shoots the wall. I got to ~79 in the tower and just stopped playing since it's all basically the same level on repeat. I could grind out story missions and fuse higher level stones to ascend the characters, but why?
>>1981577Yeah just change the name of the file you downloaded to _AutoGeneratedTranslations and completely overwrite it.
>>1981726Every single fight in R'lyeh just feels exactly the same. The gameplay is so disjointed that there's just no satisfaction to anything.
>start going through all the scenes in r'lyeh>nearly every single sex scene plays out exactly the same>generic maledom, girl lies down on back/side, stick dick in girl, UNGA BUNGA OUOHUHOHUOHH to mac and cheese noises>some of the girls even lose their monstrous traits in them>some end up looking completely indistinguishable from normal humans even, one has her tentacle hair to turn out to be a fucking hat that she just takes off>one is "different" by having the girl be on the top instead, and then continuing like all the rest>bafflingly the appearance of the male character isn't even fucking consistent despite them even giving him a portrait in a couple of these stories>body build, skin color and even his dick keep varying>some even have him look large muscular and TAN despite him literally being shown by the portrait prior as being pasty and noted by others including himself to be out of shapedid they not even settle on this guys appearance until the very end or something??? like holy shit it's past the point of being distracting now. all of these are terrible.
>>1982281>Focusing on the guy during sex
>>1982293try to imagine if nel was the exact same as she always was and then you open the bedroom door and suddenly she's a total sub who only ever has completely normal and vanilla missionary position sex. and also goushujin suddenly got abruptly replaced with a generic tan muscle maledom guy as if that's what he always looked like. it's just distracting, man. and more to the point it's just really boring. they all talk down to him constantly and the game makes it clear how they're all far superior to humanity then suddenly UOGUAOGUAOGH.also it's a sign that these scenes are so shit that i actually did end up noticing all the terrible and inconsistent parts because that really is just how boring all of these are.
>>1982281>nearly every single sex scene plays out exactly the same>generic maledom, girl lies down on back/side, stick dick in girl, UNGA BUNGA OUOHUHOHUOHH to mac and cheese noises>some of the girls even lose their monstrous traits in themthis tracks with the fire 3 star and the crab scenes I skimmed.>some end up looking completely indistinguishable from normal humans even, one has her tentacle hair to turn out to be a fucking hat that she just takes offholy fuck, this can't be real lmao

Her design is also pretty sick too. Shame she's another 'cool alt form locked behind paygate' character, even for those who do want to use her for the cheese. I'd be happy to get the OG Elyut some day too, though.
>>1982666lol, what a joke. this is like if rakion took her extra arms off or the dragons popped off their horns and tails.
>>1982878indeed. it's just such an asinine idea. even for all the faults of the worst designed girls in mmtd i don't remember any of them pulling crap like this and just stripping off all the monsterous or barely-monstrous parts like some kind of cheap cosplay. hell some of the girls even do the opposite, chupina ditches her literal cheap cosplay and looks like an actual dog/bat-thing in her scenes, it's the one redeeming trait of her (design-wise).
>event story actually starts to get interesting by revealing the new continent is Mu, immediately giving an extremely clear yet still very subtle explanation for Nautia's change in behavior to those who're familiar with it>'Mu' is the Continent of Mu, and more importantly is where Ghatanothoa resides>Nautia is the Ghatanothoa Girl and directly descended from him, and it's noted she's the only one who's suddenly changed>Neon to my shock actually does something purely selfless and entirely heroic this time>orders everyone else to run while she attempts to save someone she knows genuinely hates her and is currently possessed and trying to kill her>no credit stealing jokes or anything this time>it's because she knows it's the right thing to do>she admits she does not know what she can accomplish, but she cannot just leave Nautia behind, and tells the rest of the squad to evacuate with who they've rescued while she fights the "thing" inside Nautia, that she might subdue or help her somehow>the protagonist is very concerned during this entire ordeal, and voices his fear>for Neon>and NOT Nautia, the one who's possessed and currently insane>literally "WHAT ABOUT NEON?!" while they're getting him to the ship>this is even what leads to Neon telling him that they can't just leave Nautia there and she has to at least try to do something to help her>he tells Neon not to overdo it which even gets Neon to tell him to shut up and go alreadyI hate this guy so much

Chin!
>>1983313Is this the boss fight for april fools? I joined after them but had seen the giant boss fights with the dela-versions of the girls. I was half-expecting a Giant Suzu, but this is probably a better decision to make. Although I would've expected the Four Heavenly Kings equivalent used to be the Four Beast Gods you travelled around collecting.
This game has really, really well designed boss fights, I'm genuinely very pleasantly surprised! The 'research' areas all have a three-tiered difficulty level that seems to reset monthly, and when it resets it also allows you to get the bonus gems for completing them for the first time again, and each of the levels has their own boss with it's own unique attack patterns, gimmicks and low-health-mechanics. They're pretty fun and challenging; one of them was down to the wire even and Airen was only barely able to take it out as the last girl standing, and would've lost if she hadn't killed it that turn. I didn't even know Anemone had a once-per-battle Auto-Revive Mechanic until this! Simply thrilling.I was very sad to learn that Airen apparently had a third accessory despite all my efforts to make sure I got everything related to the two girls from the event that I could though. I cannot even find any information about that accessory on the game's own wiki or any promotionals. Ah well.
>>1983326>I cannot even find any information about that accessory on the game's own wiki or any promotionals. Ah well.GC does have a lack of information in general. Apparently the game had a very rough launch and they only fixed the game relatively recently so I was finding it hard to find other people who play it or any informational resources so I didn't stick too long to it since I really enjoy talking about things or researching the games i'm into.
>>1983327It sounds quite unfortunate, yeah. There was plenty of information on all the other collab girls though, just not the two from this KumaFes specifically. I have to wonder what the problems were that led to such a harsh launch, but at the very least, I'm glad they've been able to fix the game to be as fun as it is currently, and hopefully it has or will recover from that.
>>1983320Well something like that, plus event
>>1983340Oh, I'm glad the other three will be rerun too! I've seen a lot that Dela-Selene's reward is very good for Brynhildr so I'd be happy to have it for her.
Well that's done. Honestly, started feeling kind of nostalgic once I had to start doing some floors manually. Reminded me of the old flash defense games back in the day. The bosses are vulnerable to instant death, but they should be reasonably doable up until floor 480 not relying on the probably 1% death proc. Vast majority of floors could be autoed until somewhere in the 300s. Then every XX1st floor required switching to a more defensive/manual team. Other floors just required a well-timed Cthulu smash for consistency after floor 400. There's pretty much only 3 real threats among normal enemies besides your walls being zerged. Archers, wheels, and kidney stabbers. They're thankfully all frail enough that the well-timed Cthulu smash is what deals with them and why other floors can't be fully autoed.
Teams by the way, left was for autoing every floor besides XX1 and boss floors. Right was for every XX1 floor and bosses. Apparently there are proper team comps for dealing with the bosses and Automaton(summoner) stalling with tokens, but having the green haired lady just lets you cheese the bosses though water team can force clear up until 480 and 500.
>>1983512i am still so disappointed that she's just wearing a hat
>>1983510>>1983512>the teams in this game really are all the sameIs it even WORTH doing, anyways? It's just such a boring slog.
>>1983595Your floor clear level also gives daily income similar to main story, but way more purple orbs which is the real bottleneck for leveling. Though leveling is nearly pointless as the stats it gives is nothing compared to LBing which can be done at any level.

>>1983661There's no real specific team. Production is very split in Japan and there's a lot of intracompany contracting. MMTD is under Studio Kumasan which covers primary production of the games under it. This is stuff like artists, writers, etc. Programmers though are likely contracted across a multitude of games and it's heavily theorized that all the Tower Defense games under DMM have been worked on by the same unknown team/company despite no official crediting. Rather DMM is itself a game dev company, so they're the official devs of quite a few games under the Exnoa name. The CEO of Studio Kumasan actually used to be employed under Exnoa/DMM before spinning off his own company. This does not mean Studio Kumasan does not have its own programmers, but basically the amount of people working on any one thing ebbs and flows from project to project and it's very closely related to Exnoa. They are also likely not the only dev studio in this large complex web of development. Such as the other company also confusingly named KMS.Ryleh appears to be DMM developed, so who actually is involved in its development and running is unknown. DMM has a lot of games generically under its name and some are infamously bad. Ryleh is above average if you'd believe it. Stuff like Arms Armory and pic related you'd had to have seen to believe. What's likely is people can pitch their ideas to the company, but actually rounding up production is left to them. You have a lot of random people with a lot of random connections(the sheer amount of random VN collabs is proof of this) making games.
I just noticed none of the rlyeh chibis have mouths and it's just really weird to me now
I can't believe japan hated this guy and the entirety of the chapterThey even had the balls to do what R'lyeh or really a lot of these don't have and actually showed in-detail what happened to his victims; done through the close friend who worked with the protagonist and artist girls in the police force; even if he went out like a champ and managed to hold on long enough to have one last conversation before being put to rest he had an absolutely brutal death. And that guy actually had a pretty good amount of screentime over the prologue and two chapters prior to this so I actually had grown to like him by now too.Most of the comments I read weren't even accurately reflective of what happened in it, but it would be hard to believe that they re-wrote the entire thing, and it seems like it was always this way from launch. Maybe it's just a bit too dark compared to what it seems like Kuma usually does, so they weren't expecting it, but I loved this chapter.
Oh and since they didn't have a cg of her or a full shot from the intro here's his masterpiece Zombie-Spider-Rose-Plant Monster Girl that served as the boss alongside him for the anons who're just here for more Monster Girls. It's hard to tell but she has two pupils in her one remaining eye. It's implied this might've been his wife, too.I think it looks pretty sick ngl. Probably for the best you destroyed it though. It's only vocalizations are to scream in pain.
alas, I was unable to roll lulu........

Thank you for your hard work Okyuu
As it turns out, giving Okyuu the King Geist's Management Subskill in order for her to have the honors of testing it ended up revealing that in fact Okyuu actually makes it completely bug out; not only did it suddenly become difficult to make inputs until the battle ended but the Luka Expy abruptly ceased to exist and her own tentacles turned invisible on top of that.At first I was worried about if he had been swallowed up by chaos, but they'll probably fix this eventually.Probably. They might not announce it though, they seemed to sweep the unicorn palooza under the rug until they fixed it. Whether they address it or not just informs if we get gems out of it or not.Still really proud of her though she hard carried that match.
>>1985523Actually apparently it's working now? I'm confused, but he's suddenly fine in one of the event maps.Maybe it's just very specifically the dungeon that caused the problem? I'm not sure, but I guess it's a very bizarre glitch or something. I'm curious what caused it the first time now though.Ah well, at least Okyuu's fine and got it to work! I'm not sure how good it is still though, but the idea is nice.
>>1985523You didn't actually put a token subskill on Okyuu did you? You cannot use any token subskills if the unit already has a token, though the new one should be ok on Okyuu as it only buffs the ones already deployed.
>>1985583I'm already well aware of that anon, when I got the picture of Okyuu with the Kraken I did that by giving it to Aqua specifically just to see the two together since otherwise Okyuu only gets the 1.5x damage multiplier. She did use the Kraken Soul + that one boss event subskill that allows her to inflict darkness to completely obliterate Dela-Rin but that's mostly because I think giving her Kraken Soul is very soulful.Since there's zero point to give Okyuu any of the human token ones, I only gave her King Geist Management in the dungeon. The Young Hero's subskill is on Charis, because she's one of the girls who can actually make good use of it since the non-token benefit only works on rare or common girls. There was no difference in Okyuu's subskill loadout between those two pictures. The Tokens just glitched out completely in the dungeon for some reason, which is why it confused me.
>>1985583to clarify it's hard to notice but you can actually see the young hero's health and skill bars in the picture, he was actually deployed, he was just invisible and his skill didn't seem to work properly. if I'd given it to Okyuu, I wouldn't have been able to even deploy him in the first place, so this interaction was only able to happen because she only had the new KGM subskill and someone else deployed the token for her after Okyuu was already on the field.
is this the place to talk about flower knight girls?
>>1986203This would be a place to do it yes
how can i play the r18 version of flower knight girls? the link in the wiki's new player guide seems to be dead
>>1986227I don't know anon, all that I know of regarding Flower Knight Girls comes from the KumaFes Collaborations and what other anons have said in this thread. Although the KF period has passed I decided to try it out today though just out of curiosity.I ended up missing the chance to read over the full log in the intro and now I am struggling to maintain my composure because the very first girl I'm being introduced to is named "rapeseed" and I had to look that up to realize that's not a mistranslation or something, Turnip Rapeseed is a very real thing, and the source would mean her name is actually more like turnip turnipseed which is almost as ridiculous as her just being called "rapeseed".I'll check and see if I can find the x version for you though, it's probably somewhere on fanza.
>>1986277tyvm
>>1986328yes it's on Fanza, if you're playing on browser all you have to do is change the flower to flower-x.
>oh right, it's new month>spend friend points to buy the 1 epic+ and 10 tickets>go to open one>maintenanceIt's okI can waitI didn't want to pull right now anywayI can wait
>>1986635I was reading the story until just now. I didn't know it still let you read past maintenance like that. Also the story was good. Not sure what 2641 was supposed to mean as the year though since those are usually jokes.
>>19866662026 April 1st?
>>1986666This entire event was hysterical
>one day later she had to announce the park was canceled
>>1986675Fuck. Yea, that's definitely it, thanks.>>1986687I was laughing at almost every line. Loved the whole event. I wanted to try beating the level with just the humans they give you at the start, but a few started to get by and dropped the tripod. She just covered the entire map with her range and killed everything before it got on screen. Might have to reconsider bringing her into maps since she turns off the game lol.
>>1986711I had a genuinely really fun time with MAX Level difficulty, it was a great fight. Enjoyably difficult and very fun.Also Okyuu fought Dain in a one on one for like four minutes while chaos rained all around her so that no one could be stunned while her guns + Waemawa/Hild/Lucretia/Airen/Fermi fought off the army. Hectic and awesome. Okyuu definitely hard carried the most though, not just for holding off Dain and SHOOTOing up the map with her giant water cannon, but especially her resource management because I genuinely wasn't gonna beat this without her being able to earn so much cost so quickly and allowing everyone else to deploy.The whole thing was 10/10
Got the lion girl, she's super strong with her upgraded weapon passively blows away mobs on the entire map.
>>1986996>makes all allies immune to poison and stun just from being organized into the teamthat's kinda cracked isnt it
Herenoir's legs look pretty toned in monmusu
I just realized that despite being the 'poster girl' for the Hastur group Herenoir never actually showed up in her game's story at all, she's not even mentioned, so I don't actually know what she's like. And I still for the life of me can't tell how good she actually is in her home game, especially since she genuinely needs her duplicate just to function properly at all.But here it turned out Okyuu was the perfect girl to test out how Herenoir works in MMTD; because they actually fixed the problem she has in her home game, which is that Witches as a class absolutely SUCK because none of them can stack or work together and their tokens all seem to be incredibly weak. So instead of having her passive be to just summon one disappearing token to an ally, Herenoir just buffs allies for each summoned token.And Okyuu's tentacles all count.Each individual one. That's like at minimum +700 attack, and then the +100 from the Byahkee itself. And she also boosts their damage. I might actually try to get her just so I can have her in a game that's actually good and have fun comboing her with the Okyuu the Based Kraken Girl instead of cringe cthulhu-oid ripoffs.
>>1987103>Herenoir suddenly replaces all the Kraken Tentacles with Byahkee>Move Okyuu and Aqua out of range and give them back the Kraken Tentacles>The attack number from the buff did not go down or stay the same>It just keeps getting higher>Every time Okyuu re-summons her Kraken Tentacle with IT'S A CRAZY OCTOPUS PARTY! it increases by another 100>Every time another Kraken Tentacle is deployed it increases by another 100Is this bugged?Is this bugged or is this intentional?Like if this had been last year I might've thought this was normal but after all the crazy shit that's happened I really cannot tell anymore. If this is a bug and they nerf her I guess that's just par for the course at this point, given how fucked and cursed rlyeh is and what it's brought upon this game.
>>1987113Her attack buff has no duration listed and is every time a friendly token is deployed. Any token. So yes, it is intentional.The game's buffing economy has been different ever since Nonoa.
>>1987189Alright thanks anon just wasn't entirely confident that was the case, I'm sure you understand why of course. They don't have the little bingo card they usually do for new banners this time, which seems a little odd to me, but I might try to pull for Herenoir anyways just so she can be in a good game and I can turn the OG Okyuu into a Super Kraken. I feel like Okyuu's EX II might actually be really strong for that combination even.>NonoaI noticed yeah lmao
If anybody's opening castles, there's 2 free packs in the store that dump 100 rolls with 10 guaranteed 7*s.
>100 rolls for Rlyeh Varina>0 Varina>No gems and no incomeDropped
>>1987254>read through her profile>while it's mostly par for the course (pervert, masochist, probably wants to be fucked by all the tentacles) one part does stand out at the end>she thinks the evil gods are supposed to be "deviant" gods, i.e, perverts>bio then says that if the girls in r'lyeh found out they'd become incoherent with rage (and knowing how they act a good number of them would probably try to kill her out of anger) but they find her so annoying that there's too many other things about her for them to criticize first to notice this>she's basically ragebaiting the entire citykek
>go to spend ticket>they fucked up the summoning animation>it just isn't there anymore>this on the collab that's supposed to draw people to itreally putting the best forward aren't they
Oh hey, I actually managed to pull R'lyeh->immediate pop-up for "Commemorative pack for acquiring the Stone City of R'lyeh">Want a dupe for the passive? Just pay money!Jokes on you I got a junk 3* orange stone from the first event I had no use for until just this moment because I can now actually use it on her and get it that way!Seriously though would it kill them to cool the monetization a bit? I don't remember another game doing this, or at least not any of the other TDF games or 'gacha' games I've played.
>>1987307She's actually the best of the 3 if dupeless
>>1987311Yeah I saw they actually added a new feature to allow you to actually check the effectiveness of each girl and what they did while I was going to grab some of the stones needed to make the rock she needs for an awakening and, well I could tell it was obvious during the battle but still whew lad that's pretty nuts.Surely giving her that dupe-rock wasn't bad for her though. It gives her bonus damage and defense after all.Also I gave her the mini-cthulhu thing and it probably helped a bit too, it just felt appropriate. I like that three of her plushies are of his sons too. I'm still not really happy about how this game turned out, but it's a cute detail.
>>1987204what am i supposed to be rerolling for in this game
>>1987323I don't play it that much myself, but I probably have more built that anybody else here. Cannons serve as early carries, but the game is buff meta late game. Books and conches have some of the best units in the game. The unit you should be most considering from the tickets if you are in fact rerolling is the Underworld/Hell type unit(castles are categorized by terrain, it's the colored orb on their icon, underworld/hell is purple). These are essentially the heroes/limiteds of the game and the tickets contain 1 guaranteed hell unit.I don't note what pools these tickets pull from and the amount of castles in the game is huge, so you essentially just have to scrutinize every 7* you roll on the JP wiki through google translate.https://scre-swiki-jp.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=scCollab units are also naturally gimped since they're typeless. While they now received terrain advantage regardless technically making them all terrain, Castle's end game content works by forcing specific terrain castles otherwise suffer horrible debuffs/damage which means they're practically banned. One exception is the new Aigis unit having really insane squad buffs.
autoing the tower again in the cthulu game. made it to 320 previously but got stuck. I bought the weapons from the event shops and figured out the inscription system. still autoing at 370. if it ever fails I just run it again and win somehow.>>1987307they probably learned this from twinkle star knights. pretty sure monmusu started doing it too after it was successful in twinkle with the merchant demon girl popping up when you clear ex stages. twinkle has a popup to buy gems after everything you do.
>Neon is broken op in AigisP-Prease, play with our new girl and new game
>>1987431>meanwhile, in the story:>does nothing>dies five+ times>NOTICE ME CTHULHU-SAMA WAAAAHthey are really desperate for this to somehow work out
Oh so thats what the mutation thing does. No idea how good either of these are for her but I'm assuming it's probably fine.
Anons...They wouldn't have our boy start gushing over that new loser like the other human main characters he's encountered, right? Can't fight and isn't cool.S-Surely they won't push him THAT hard..
>>1987480master doesn't know any better, he does not know that the self-insert isekai guy is an incompetent asswipe who does nothing but pine for his dead boyfriend and use a konosuba-tier plot coupon power to ask cthulhu for help nicely
>>1987436So any thing in this game got salvaged or rewritten? It is rare but not unheard of of a gacha having a rewrite after a mess of a story.
>>1987381any suggestions for cost generating units to look out for? i have a few strong characters but i never have enough cost to use their skills.
>>1987500nta, you would literally need to redo this ENTIRE story from scratch to have it not be a laughable farce. and last i checked (yesterday and today's event story) they still didn't even change the special effects to not be mspaint blocks. it would also be incredibly embarrassing for the other three games.well, frankly it already is. but it could easily get worse. this whole thing has just been shameful.
>>1987254there are still 40 rolls in the login bonus. 55.4% chance you pull her off of those.
>six rolls in hope for herenoir>get the gachaponfuckhow far do i need to get in castle:re to get any rewards out of it for more rollsI can't delve below the 45,000 in case of anniversary alt emergency reserve but I do want her
>>1987504There's>generates additional cost over time>has tokens that generate additional cost over time>has +1 ki on kill or grants it somehow to other units>discounts cost useI'm not sure what to recommend to you as I've somehow lucked into some of the strongest limited units for this purpose over the years. Pic related is what I use for cost purposes if you're looking long term.Hikone is the one non-limited here(also a limited version besides her) and she's evergreen due to having 40% cooldown reduction on top of Ki tokens and very cheap deploy cost.https://scre-swiki-jp.translate.goog/index.php?%E5%BD%A6%E6%A0%B9%E5%9F%8E&_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=scThe game over the years has repeatedly given out a specific kind of 7* pick ticket with old 7*s which includes her and she's basically the one thing you take out of them. The game also gave out a very recent pick ticket with the recent event. Looking at comments, the wiki says good things about Atlantis(book) and Kyoto Shinjo(Tea Cup) and they both have cost generation. They're near the bottom as more recent units are at the end of the list. Kyoto Shinjo is the flat dark haired Tea Cup class second row from the bottom, not the blue haired one on the bottom.Alternatively you go for 4th Edo Castle(Conch) who grants giantification discounting. However, you can only use one Conch per team and Summer Poenari will replace her if you ever get her.
