>>3931549I like Hakika's thick girls. I put a ring on Chemica. Wish I could ring Malice.
>>3931549
>>3931549Is she always angled away because her tits and hips would be too big and crowd out the other characters?
So what are the predictions regarding who be the next returning party member for the next Sequel game?
>>3931938Lestea, easily. She's omegapopular and I've heard she was tased in Thirst
>>3931938What a cutie, I want to give her headpats
>>3931549Out of all the characters thus far in that game the ones I'm interested in are the sister and the angel everybody else seems secondary so far, I wonder if the H scenes of this one will be canon compared to the non canon of Innocent Rules, L.Deph and Asylum where they existed as an obligation rather than part of the story, each game you can beat without getting lewd once compared to the sequel series where mana tank will be plapped, through I haven't played any of them in a while, I think awake and kludge can be done without getting lewd with anyone cept getting sucked off by Kuruha at the start.

>>3931549Somehow I feel like the angel will be another face hugger
Was the ino game any good?
>>3932059Yes. I really enjoyed it.
The entire series is on RPGmaker VX Ace right? Has anyone tried to get it working on an android handheld with joiplay? Have a long trip coming up, might replay everything.
>>3932092Yeah just had to install the VX Ace RTP's on top of it. Sweet.
>>3932092Atline through Silver Tower are on VX, and everything after kludge is MZ. They still work though, just the need the RTP for the VX stuff too
>>3932079Fat
>>3932138Fat is good.
>>3932033
>>3931938It's time for her revenge
>>3932232Agreed.
Way late but just finished the IR main story and feel like I understood basically nothing from the plot. Does the postgame flesh things out more or am I going to need to replay and pay more attention to the story?As an aside, the huge cast felt like the biggest stumbling block for the game as a whole - almost zero party interactions during the story, only 2 near-identical scenes per character, party management of XP being a nightmare (equipment too to a lesser extent), and skill trees were greatly shortened as well. The last two in particular felt the most discouraging for swapping up the party during my playthrough which seems like the main intent of the game. Maybe it'd be worth a second go limiting myself to only the monster girls you can find in each zone to force some more experimentation?
>>3932280There's a lot more in the postgame, but something you may not have realized is that the game takes place in Cocooned Land.>The last two in particular felt the most discouraging for swapping up the party during my playthrough which seems like the main intent of the game. Maybe it'd be worth a second go limiting myself to only the monster girls you can find in each zone to force some more experimentation?I wouldn't really suggest that, the postgame is where you really are able to experiment with party combinations due to being able to get monsters to level 99 easily and because of genesis stone skills giving you more options. As well as all the skill crystals you can get.
Never really tried anything from the SEQUEL series before, but kinda feel to play something rpg-makery. Does it's still stand out as a good game, if i'm not planning to jerk off to it? Like Black Souls, Lonarpg or MGQ paradox was.
>>3932358>Does it's still stand out as a good game, if i'm not planning to jerk off to it?Very much so. There's a reason why we're on /vrpg/ in the first place.
>>3932358I started this series to jack off, but I quickly started playing with both hands. They're genuinely charming games, very good characters and world building. The story ranges from absolute kino to absolute dogshit depending on the game. Gameplay Is your standard RPGmaker stuff, but very polished and fun.
>>3932282I was spoiled on that part before finishing the game, but still feel like I'm missing the implications of what that entails for the game/series.As an aside - trying to go pick up any of the items/companions/dialogues I missed across the game, and had a few questions off the top of my head:1. There's a room visible from the ladder down to Lavigny with a corpse and an item - where does the door behind it connect to?2. I can see there's an event for the ninja owl on the island, but can't seem to trigger it - do I need to finish a certain sidequest?3. Who's the last girl I'm missing? All I know is that one of her scenes is called 'Mana Devourer' but have no idea where I should be looking - I've cleared all of the main story sidequests + miniboss fights.
>>3932471>There's a room visible from the ladder down to Lavigny with a corpse and an item - where does the door behind it connect to?There's a gated door in the area, I think it was near the reason of wings for the upper portion of the area. Bring the oil slime>owl spotBring both the owl and the snow woman>last party memberDo you have the mimic girl and unidentified? Mimic girl's in Ainoa, she'll be hiding behind a wall when you gather everyone in the parlor. Unidentified in Signine, there's another password for the magic circle you can find if you look around again Paradise

>>3931944I'm surprised she hasn't. She's peak saviorfag and had some pretty big plot relevance/development. I guess the plan is to pick up some of the earlier cast chronologically.
Hollowwald is planned to release around July or August.https://ch.dlsite.com/matome/531999
>>3931938Anisa, i think she was mentioned at the postgame
>>3932589
>>3932748Not only that, a new Miruess Army silver member was namedropped. エスピア・ラートル [Espia Raatol]. I still think Tirma or Anisa will take the party member slot though, but we'll definitely see this new girl as well.

I'm forced to post with fucking Edge because Captcha keep having strokes on FF and it's driving me nuts bros.

>>3932877Do you use X? I saw there was an opened issue regarding Captcha on the github.
>>3931549Imagine a collab between hakika and the black souls 2 dev. Hakika’s art & music combined with BS2 dev’s programming & combat mechanics would create the greatest porn game of all time
>>3932881I only have a twitter account to look at hakika's account page, I seldom use it. I did use it yesterday and today though, guess that might be it
>>3932886I meant X as in 4chanX, anon.
>>3932887Yes
>>3932494Livre was the missing party member - thanks. Now the next step is figuring out which monster ornaments I'm missing and getting to work on the lords of reason fights - Tahati seems way out of my league for now after one-tapping my entire party.
>Check the older games section on subpar's blog>The most barebone, least-useful-to-anybody synopsesI'm really gonna have to play through hkk's older, janky, unpolished and untranslated games to get a grasp on the backstory aren't I?
>>3932992https://leafgeometry.miraheze.org/wiki/INNOCENT_RULES/MonstergirlsThis has all the accessory locations
>>3932993Probably just Liberty Step? Sometimes lore backdrops are better left vague, I think I trust hakika enough to give what he feels is necessary or worthwhile. I guess you'll miss off on some emotional payoffs like in Awake's postgame. Maybe people who have played more of his catalog can comment.
>>3932993Anon, they're all translated except for Ruinswald. Also they're really not that janky either. If you have any problems, just ask here or look at the japanese wikis.
>>3932358Not rly. There are plenty of better games developed by full teams with a larger busget to play if you don’t want to jerk off. Anybody who disagrees is lying to themselves
>Anybody who disagrees is lying to themselvesSpeak for yourself. Most devs could only dream of being as good at making games as hakika is.
thinkin of replaying one of the sequel games while waiting for that Thirst translation, which game would yall replay?
>>3933132Notch nukes Hakika’s Japanese ass out of the water and into the sun
>>3933136who?
>>3933135Awake with the party patch to let you replace Kuruha, I was thinking of doing that myself.
>>3933136>NotchDude made one sandbox game, left it unfinished, sold it to Microsoft and fucked off forever.
>>3933137i think he made Lonarpg
>>3932282Did I skip the spoiler somehow? I thought Tahati just started in Ordowald but escaped it by HUGE GENIUS MAGIC creating the stars separate from Ordowald.
>>3933149From kludge.
>>3933150I'm not sure if we can construe that as proof.
Chemica Sex
>>3933132Where's the full image for this
>>3933135Blight NG+ if you haven't. Also on my list since I never revenge on Rafata for kicking my ass.>game good game bad talkIt's typically hard to make a game with an ensemble cast and flesh out everyone's personalities enough to the degree you care about them. Having roots closer to visual novels tend to help. Look how shallow the Fire Emblem characters are in newer iterations, pretty much relying entirely on their assigned quirk plus maybe 10 moments of dialogue through the game. You can have an exceptional story but if I care about none of the characters I won't care for any of the story meanwhile in games like this and Dragon Age: Origin I'm always looking forward to the slower moments of sitting around talking to the party.
>>3933232
>>3933291Can't believe i missed this, thanks
>>3933129Normally I would agree with you, but consider the games he cited as examples.
>>3933153>>3933150nta but there's enough there to make an argument either way. Still, would Tahati Have lied about being outside of Ordowald?
Is it me or is the (Awake/Colony) Sheena revive a little bit messed up for the series moving forward. Every time someone dies I'm like why can't we just go grab them from the underworld again. Did I miss a decent explanation for it like maybe she dies in OoA which had stronger mana connections or something? I'm only asking because I credits rolled in Colony and I'd be fairly surprised if we don't do it again knowing all that we know.
>>3933471>Every time someone dies I'm like why can't we just go grab them from the underworld again.This is explained later in colony's postgame. Only people that die in Palgadol get sent to the Underworld like Sheena did.
>>3933471It's been a while since I've played awake, so I could be very wrong, but from what I remember I believe the only reason that worked was because it happened in Palgadol and because of how quickly they went to go do it.
>>3933474>>3933475Ah darn thanks, I shoulda just kept playing but I was sorting out my feelings during the credits roll. The writing's gotten a lot better! Both Auris and Shin are great characters, I'm glad hakika felt confident enough to offscreen a lot of stuff so the player could fill in the gaps themselves on both ends concurrently as they played through the science logs.
>>3933477It'll never get this good again sadly, he was possessed by a muse when he wrote Colony. There's still moments of greatness from time to time (I personally don't like Asylum as a game but I found the lore very good), but Colony was lightning in a bottle (and kinda begins to crack in the postgame in the Alzhett chapter honestly)
>>3933522That's kinda why I'd prefer the writing to return to the standard of Blight. Just give me a simple plot that lets the characters shine.
>>3933522colony is as good as it is because hakika likely had way more time to think about its plot. The game pretty obviously cannibalized whatever he had done/planned for Brand of Ronis, which began its development before even blight. I think the plots of all the games are at worst mediocre, with awake being the only I actually do consider to be only mediocre, but I feel colony shows that hakika could definitely make more intricate plots if he gave himself more time to cook. Not that I necessarily feels he needs to though, he can still make a great story within a year,
>>3933414I don't think she would, has no reason to. She wanted Ino to be there voluntary. In the first place, outside of Ordowald can mean anything, except being on the fucking world map of Ordowald.
Thirst translation this spring, trust!
>>3933566I'm leaning towards the opinion of >>3933522 the hook for these games to me were cute girls funny adventure, lots of dialogue, and decent pacing on gameplay and story. I'm not opposed to a tone shift, but if you're going to try to write a story with darker themes you should do it with more nuance and I think he's successful in that regard. I just rarely see it be successful and I'd much rather have a charming story with a middling plot than the other way around. It's funny how you can see it so plainly in Colony in with Rabi purely being played as comic relief. Reminds me of getting into Priconne anime as a silly IP SoL only to get hit with a banger 2 season drama. If he returns to Blight/Awake level plot but keeps the cast loveable I'll enjoy it all the same.
>>3933622Whoops. I flipped the two replies but you get the idea.
>>3933623it's no so bad, the game was pretty bleak and the tone pretty somber and tense til Rabi joined up, her rabiness helped Auris relax which as a whole broke Lestea's wall too where as emela couldn't hope to do that since she just blindly follows auris's direction. every party needs at least 1 unfettered character it's why Kludge's cast is so weak
>>3933653>every party needs at least 1 unfettered character it's why Kludge's cast is so weakAbsolutely. You also want at least one returning character, to keep the audience comfortable with the new cast members and to be a sort of audience surrogate.
>>3931938Lestea seems the most likely since she's in Thirst's postgame. If it takes place in Elcehil then I think Rabi once again is also a likely candidate.
>>3933674>>3933653Yeah it's twofold, Emela probably should have played the comic relief role a bit better but she was mostly played for one-note lewd jokes and the "we have a monster friend" plot device. Auris also has a nice touch of light-heartedness, you can tell hakika course corrected from writing a more serious protag with Kuruha where you can still have a laugh through all of the tension. Not to mention having a decent villain. The container interaction gags didn't work into Kuruha's personality at all while it felt in character for Auris. A happy-go-lucky character with an established backstory was for the best all things considered. Smaller casts are a little harder to write since their personalities demand more complexity whereas in a group of 7-8 you can just pull characters as needed like throwing Nazuna & Alma into the mix for a full gag skit. Dire being the tsukkomi is always my favorite bit, he's my audience surrogate more often than not.
>>3933619Is there really no tl for thirst yet? Maybe that one anon was right about Hakika botting engagement and sales.
>>3933700Qudere’s working on it as we speak.https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/557733869/#557769345
>>3933653How is Lusica not unfettered?The reason Kludge's cast is weak is because there's only 2 fun characters, Kuu and Lusica, in the main party. Faria, Yolnaya and Yubeil are all whatever and Dita is actively detrimental to the banter that SEQUEL is known for.
Yubeil's only flaw is that she's not equipped for anal, Lusica really dropped the ball on that.
>>3933750It was on purpose, she didn't want competition on her specialty.
>>3933749>Kludge's cast is weak Games prior to Kludge lacked any sort of tsun archetype despite having a glut of heroines to oshikatsu from. Dita scene with her hat off mogs every Colony scene combined. Not every character needs to be an ADHDmaxxed smarrel noja memequeen.
>>3933750Hard agree. It was a real shame, there was barely any anal in kludge. Dita didn't even get any, despite have an anus licking scene.
>>3933839Just cumfart it out and slurp it back in the vajoo, Yubeil
>>3933750Girl who constantly talks about anal and how she's got a sex toy or two up her ass 24/7 gets 3 licking scenes for some reason. Damn shame.
>Lusica mentioned
>>3933944kek
What happened to the Sequel threads on F95?
>>3933979Probably removed due to loli content.
>>3933979Deleted because a mod threw a shitfit after deleting the thirst translation thread. The Vitamin Quest 2 translation thread was deleted too
>>3933986This is what happens when you offer janny role to anybody with $20
>>3933979>>3933985Removed because the mod who fucking owns the black souls 2 thread thought its content was too problematic.
>>3933944I like it better when you add her face to it
>>3933991I want to say nobody is that retarded, but then again I remember those server of eld that would happily advertise admin position for donators.
>>3933994>the mod who fucking owns the black souls 2 thread
>>3933991
>>3934012Skimming through stupid badges tells me everything I need to know
>>3934012Normies HATE her nice body.
>>3934062I hate Uula because she raped me.
>>3934278You led her on. You shouldn't have been wearing that outfit.
>>3934278Is there any girl in this series that doesn’t rape?
>>3934318I mean technically...
>>3934319Jumps on you with the maid outfit in his final scene. Non-consensual means rape.
>>3934321It's not rape if he doesn't have rights, ask any lawyer.
>>3934322Damnit, you’re right
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/141579785I don’t play Trickcal, but damn. Hakika draws the girls really well.
i just came
>>3934318Lestea would never
>>3934338to this thread to say hi
>>3934318I remember most of Pirila's being pretty sweet. Slightly depends if you buy into the whole barbarian encouragement custom but those occur at intimacy 2 so I'd give it a pass. She's still the most consensual/non-dom of the ones I remember. Very wife-coded.
Kuu is such a thirsty slut.
>>3934351>Lestea would never
>>3934378Her closest thing to non-consensual sex is her handjob scene, otherwise she doesn't really rape.
>>3934440She's a very nice girl, she just wanted to massage your balls because they work so hard. She almost won me over with how far she got from her first scene but it's unfortunate she had to exist in the same game as Maria.>ColonyJust finished the mastery boss, surprisingly a lot less difficult than the previous games. I think the defensive options were a bit much when you can apply two different damage debuffs and three different raw defense buffs by turn 2 on top of the favored brands. Multiple HoTs also free up Emela too much to cycle stat buffs. Hopefully Saxa's dungeon has a little more sauce. Seems like they completely 180'd my complaints about Bottomless Gramtoa and now the post-game zone is just goofing off with her.
>>3934493I'd also suggest you do the Alzhett chapter too, you get a lot of good gear there that helps with Saxa's dungeon.
>>3934498Oh yeah good call, I did put that off. I think Colony made reincarnating a bit too fast between Vivid Seeds and an autoable pre-emptive aoe so I feel I overleveled the fight. I was usually reincarnation 0 until the actual uber boss in previous games.Story spoiler question so Trau was enabling/overlooking the initial scientist who started all of the fae experimentation and Shin clone creation to control the fae because she fell in love with him? The dessicated arm was Trau's right since her model in the fight had one arm, but the pest scientist we found in the blockaded cabin asking where his arm is threw me off... I'm guessing it was because he eventually dissected Trau and had some attachment to it.
>>3934505The timeline's this:>knight left Alzhett to the seas to reflourish (Swordspear)>knight washes ashore on Schisma and meets Trau (Flutterer)>knight learns that his valet is also in love with with Trau and thinks of it as betrayal, so the knight kills the valet (Egoistic Man, Cane)>faeries lock the man up in the house, but Trau releases him (Gun)>Trau makes the knight leave Schisma, but the knight lops off her arm before leaving (Trau, One-Armed Pest). >knight eventually returns to Schisma, becomes a pest (Gauntlet)Trau is the original sin (Shin), and her arm is how Alzhett's folk made Shin and the clones.What's important to also note is Trau shares Lestea's dark magic skills from her skill tree. I'll leave that to your imagination.
>>3934543Oh my god there's a details button for menu items/logs I have so much reading to do. Thanks for compiling everything, I actually missed one of the weapons. The funny part was I did feel I somewhat spoiled myself overthinking about the dark magic tree on Lestea since it seemed odd a mysterious swordsman phys attacker has a very out of place magic tree and debuffer/pestilence motif (Winds of Putrefaction) so I felt she may have carried some sort of curse when she first entered my party. I didn't expect hakika to take it all the way to the end. I think I'll choose to let the gaps in the story naturally fill themselves, what a beautiful conclusion.
>>3934552>Oh my god there's a details button for menu items/logs I have so much reading to do.It's been there since blight. There's a LOT of lore to be found on equipment and items throughout the games. If you ever have some time to set aside and just read the descriptions on everything you can find in every game I highly recommend doing so, as you'll get a lot of insight on the plots of each game as well as just the setting in general, including stuff that'll make more sense whenever you get around to playing the Era of Myth games.
>>3934575Yeah they definitely took the souls item trivia bit to heart. Just gives me a good reason to go back and play Blight's NG+ but I'd like to catch up to translations first. I'm pretty retarded thinking back on it, I figured they just found out about additional weapon/armor effects through field testing or datamines. At least I found out about this while I still have a good amount of Colony left to go through. I unfortunately can't remember where I picked everything up like this item. Was this found in the Riverside Hut? Did that knight... Ada? Ana? Who betrayed us in the beginning of the game eventually find the truth too and was she the pest we killed in there? I'm dying to remember some of the conversations that happen in the area now. I guess in some ways I get to experience everything twice right away lol, going to grab a cup of hot cocoa and read through stuff. Thanks.
>>3934583>Did that knight... Ada? Ana? Who betrayed us in the beginning of the game eventually find the truth too and was she the pest we killed in there? Exactly that. She went back to Schisma on her own and uncovered the whole mystery. She spent her final moments regretting doing what she did.
I owe barbarian tribes sex.
>>3934583Are you a woman, or are you Japanese, perhaps? The mannerism with which you type suggests an unusually potent feminine quality. I suppose even a woman might be roused by a boyfriend or such to play a hentai rpgm game provided he pesters her enough.
>>3934623No I’m an African American man. Problem?
>>3934493Did you know that she's name dropped in Blight? full name and all
>>3934710They should use their last names more, I forget them pretty often. Except Tulpa because it's a funny word.
>>3934634nothing, sugar plum.the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice
>>3934634Honestly no. In fact, I think hakika made the right call by making Mana Tank a tan skin color instead of white. That way, pretty much anyone can enjoy the scenes.It does make me wonder though. The existence of black women like Yolnaya and Lusica does imply that there were black men in the past, right? Yet we’ve never seen one in the series at all. Unless you want to count Clar as one.
You also may consider that skin color genes could’ve originated from monster girls crossbreeding with humans, albeit that seems unlikely. Monster girls are a relatively new thing in Ordowald, aren’t they? The monsters evolved to have feminine forms so they could get mana more easily via milking men. Such a thing only happened because of the modern mana shortage.
>>3934754I've always considered the brown girls as tanned, as they have none of the negroid phenotypical features.
>>3934829Yeah, you can make that case. Just the typical Japanese tan/brown gyaru girl memes we see nowadays, atypical of what’s in real life.
>>3934634Hey, I'm not the only one.
>>3934710Wait, when was this?
>>3934916Nta but Pirila’s mentioned in one of the weapon descriptions from the Palgadol chapter in blight. Gotta craft it at the barbarian village.
>>3934920I swear, hakika will never stop surprising me with how often he manages sneak in little teases at stuff he plans on doing later in his games.
>>3934950Having a skeleton of where you want to go with things, even something as simple as a name here and there or a blueprint of characters goes a long way into worldbuilding since you can start vagueposting. He probably has a vault of unreleased character designs at the ready at this point.
>read sub par's notes that Sheena has a verbal tic that's kind of difficult to express in english terms so the compensate for that he had her draw out some letters of her speech namely noticed in her h scenes where she's lost in lust.What exactly does that mean? I wonder if any other characters have something like that going on
>>3935327I haven’t looked at the JP version of awake at all, so maybe some other anon knows.
>Cute loli succubus mom>No oyakodonI'm gonna fucking lose it.
>>3935389Unfortunately hakika made Olivia in a time before he really opened up to threesome scenes
>>3935389Because of their mother-daughter relationship, there are only a few ways that it could happen without feeling forced, like a mana milking competition started over jealousy
https://ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/1121/article/1734519Hollowwald progress report. The game’s getting delayed a little bit, it’s still coming out in July-August though
>>3935415Yeah high chance it may have felt cheap, but the heart wants what it wants. Maybe they could have really opened up to eachother about her being part succubus because that final development happened so late and there was barely any time to expand on it. It was almost played like a gag>>3935400Sexo, I think she might have been my favorite scene which was a welcome surprise so late.
>>3935429It was 100% played like a gag, she spent the entire game being racist to Emela and now it came to bite her in her plump ass.
>>3935400I still don't think he's a particular fan of threesomes. It just happens to fit in well with the sisters and lusica/yubeil. No repeat since.
>>3935500He’s said that his main problem with them is framing the scenes, he has difficulty making art with them (either PoV or just in general). Honestly I don’t blame him, it’s probably very difficult to find references for threesome positions.
>>3935506The succubus church 3P in Colony was pretty rough, made me realize it might be one of his weaker points. I think the way he progresses through a scene with CGs with a single poses makes it harder on him in general. The magical puppet scenes tend to be less interesting for me visually too, it's not very believable they're clones. He doesn't need to have a high volume of them though but sprinkling them in here and there with a bit more care would be nice. I don't think it'd kill him to at least switch poses in a multi-person scene especially when the cast is smaller.
>>3935506Well I guess he wants to keep Manatank's face hidden which limits the angles that will look good. But if you just put a girls with a fat ass (plenty to choose from) on his face then that's not an issue.
>>3935529The L.Depth threesome scenes are absolute peak though.
>>3931549Is Hollowwald another spinoff or is it a mainline game
>>3935607Nice, I'm just wrapping up the rest of Colony's post-game and it's off to asylum. Looking forward to seeing what else hakika can pull out of his hat as he checks off more and more typical 2P scenarios. The cast is getting a little big for me at this point but I'll reserve judgment when I get into the next mainline game.
>>3935628Hakika said it’s a standalone, but it should end up being a spinoff in some fashion.
>>3935634Whatever it is just hope he changes it up a bit. He’s been reusing the same FSM tilesets and core gameplay loop for over 5 years now
>>3934756Alma and Yanie double paizuri
Post canon threesomes
>>3935703You can't convince me nothing happened with Yanie and Shiela under the same roof.
>>3935699That’d be good
Ino just got shit on my dick even though I instructed him to only eat small portions of veggies or don’t eat at all. I am so pissed.
>>3935862Ino's asshole is pure. The only thing in there is my cum.
>>3935862Dragons don’t poop, they have cum-milking organs just like succubi.
>>3935703Emela,Rabi, Mana tankyou didn't say we actually had to see it
>>3936122I’m still miffed we never got an h-scene for it.
>>3936122Yeah I meant "canon" as in it likely happened off screen at some point. This one was pretty direct, pretty unlikely pairing and it would have been fun just sucks no scene.
>>3936127>>3936133That's not even likely, that's straight up confirmed. You even get the cloudy white liquid form it.
Man I'm not vibing with Asylum yet. The map design feels as aimlessly soulsy and it's kinda quiet just traveling with your familiars. I wish you interacted with them more. Going to keep powering through and hopefully things get better.
>>3936435It absolutely gets better the further you get into the game. I think the worst part is just when you're meandering about after finished Albus's Tower, the game didn't really click for me until I was past the halfway point. The h-scenes also clicked for me long after I had finished the game.
>>3936435No, that's the game sadly. It's controversial for a reason. Familiars really drag it down, they're both uninteresting to hang around and boring to play. Add the aimless map design and some rather disgusting scenes on top.I found the lore pretty cool tough, so it's not all bad.
>>3931549So every game has a designated femboy, right?
>>3936435I actually love the exploration in ASYLUM, but the lack of real companions is a big downside.At least you've got the versa doll
>>3936723Not L.Depth, but the rest so far does.
>>3936795Versa is cute, my mental voice for a deadpan girl who is resigned to her doomed fate makes me want to save her.>>3936712I thought the vibe with cute familiars being goofy and maybe helping out Malice in her lows would have been perfect but Malice has the personality of a cardboard cutout right now. It can't be hard to write non-dialogue mascots. >>3936518Yeah I'm at the end of the gaol, I'll end up finishing it.
>>3936856The familiars really should've been able to talk at least. Or emote a bit. That way, we could've had some dialogues while exploring that weren't the adventurer notes or from the Versa doll. I think how the familiars emote in their scenes is done well enough too, why couldn't we get that in the main game outside of the scenes?
How is the Thirst translation progressing?
>>3937344see >>3933704
>>3936796Well then, who is bestboi?
>>3937362Up to you to decide that. Some like Fake-Rabi, some Clar, some Kuu, and some Ino. Fake-Rabi and Ino are the most popular by far.
>>3937365I really need to finish the first game so I can experience the other bois.So far though Frabi has been top-tier.
>>3937369Most do consider him to be the best, just because he got development in two games instead of just one. The others are great too though.
>>3937345oh nice i missed thatthanks
>>3936435It has a dog fuck scene in it though
>>3937381The amount of confusion when I skipped the latter half of his questline and find out everything after-the-fact with Dire in the later games was a trip.
>>3937365Don't forget about visplords
Fat fuck
>>3937500Actually you only get the lowdown on his lore if you marry him in blight, which the vast majority of people don't do. It's just another weird thing blight does. At least it's rectified in colony.
>>3937530If they were real, we'd be doomed as a species.
>>3937554Oh well that's good to know, I didn't bother with his last two scenes. Colony did cover everything properly like you said. Frabi is fun, I wish he had a platonic route but that would clash too much with the spirit of the game imo.
How badly will I get spoiled scrolling through Hakika's twitter I just finished Awake? I want to see all the silly art.
>>3937577I think you'll be alright if you look at the earliest SEQUEL arts on pixiv and go up the pages from there. Like sohttps://www.pixiv.net/search?q=SEQUEL%20&s_mode=tag&type=artwork&p=16The newest stuff hakika has retweeted isn't really spoilery either, I'd say
>>3937592I've always appreciated hakika sticking to smooth and mochi flatness rather than the bony spare ribs that more artists gravitate towards these days. It's just so aesthetically pleasing.
Kiss the bunny, love the bunny
I want to take off Krim's nun clothes...
>>3937788tummychads rise...
I'm still listening to the Colony OST while playing Asylum, the post-game depression is strong. Maybe I should take a little break before more SEQUEL binging. Also the rendition of My Theme from Blight feels straight out of Maplestory and is hitting some crazy nostalgia.
>>3937788Anon I think he does it because it’s easy not because he thinks it is better aesthetically
>>3937916Not wrong, but also looking at his trickcal art he's really made the style his own.
Oh this is Malice's house... I thought the familiar table north with the bunk bed was. Whoops, that's a lot of scenes to catch up on.
>>3937953Nevermind it's a public spot and I just entirely missed it. Carry on.
>>3937899Colony’s OST is just amazing in general, I listen to the clinic themes on loop every now and then.>maplestoryIt’s not just me then? Rabi’s theme from blight and colony really reminds me of one of the Temple of Time songs.https://youtu.be/TpKE4mKFSZYhttps://youtu.be/C8QEN16MXWo
>>3937958Yeah that's what prompted me to mention it in the first place, a lot of MS (and specifically ToT) BGMs are incredible so inadvertently drawing inspiration isn't out of the question, even down to the instruments. Maple music is good company to be in. His use of bass strings in a couple Colony tracks and the rendition of Rabi's theme makes me want to revisit my old playlist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3RCDa6qo6w
>>3934754We've barely seen any men at all. That's a part of the setting, after all. Few men, and most of them locked up in houses getting fuckered everyday.
>>3934754From what I've seen on the topic Japanese people don't really think of characters as black or white racially, skin color is just part of the aesthetic of the character. I think if you watch enough anime you probably get into this mindset too. For example, you don't really feel an incongruity watching Naruto because he's a white ninja in a very Asian setting and this never gets addressed, that's just what he looks like because it's a memorable aesthetic for a shonen protagonist, and that's as far as that thought goes. His bright blonde hair wouldn't look as good from a color design perspective if he was as pale as Sasuke. Similarly, white hair makes for a striking contrast on dark skin, hence, Yolnaya.
>>3938011I think I get it then. Japs just like tanned girls then, right?
>>3938323Black skin's basically a fetish. It's like their default view of skin color is either not ebony or ebony.
>>3938324oh i never really thought of it like that
favorite paizuri scene from each game, go!
>>3935384Sheena's so cute, it's hard to believe this is a rapist
>>3938430>blightTirma’s paizuri blowbang>awakeSheila’s ones>colonyEmela’s first one>kludgeShizuki’s
>>3938452I wonder if there's any bedroom fight scenes in thirst, it kind of reminds me of the whole battle fucking thing in other games
Very few screenshots of the two redhead characters. Is hakika hiding them until the game is released?
>>3938495Likely because hakika doesn’t want to spoil too much. I think he learned from kludge and L.Depth’s pre-releases. For those, he really gave a crapload of previews, way more than usual, so there weren’t many surprises. I’m glad he reined it in a bit for thirst and this new game.
>>3938504It’s definitely gonna be incestge.
>>3938529
>>3938504>>3938650Very unlikely but I won't be surprised if these two happens to be Auris and MT's love children, or at least descendants
>>3938668You mean Ino and MT's love children.
>>3938670Maybe.
plap plap plap
>>3938668The offspring spinoff games just writes themselves.
>>3938668What if they're MT and Olivia's kids...
>>3938704NOOOOOOOO
only found the sequel games a few weeks ago and i need more nazuna, not giving her a single scene in colony was bullshit
>>3938753Be patient for thirst’s translation
>>3938753Go watch her scenes from the Monmusu TD collab, they’re on rule34video
I know you're here, faggot. Don't drag Ino into it.

Blight is still by far the best sequel game.
Is there a list somewhere of must play cute/funny rpgs? I'm only aware of SEQUEL, dohna, BS, and the one with the brown chick who tries not to get molested
>>3939607Colony is usually considered the best though
>>3939615Didn’t like most of the castStory is mehMuch worse party building
Awake > Colony > Blight > IR > Asylum >>> Kl*dge
What’s with the kludge hate
>>3939608You might like tsukinomizu’s games
>>3939626Some people have some strong opinions against it. Personally it’s my second favorite game gameplay-wise, and I love the music. I just wish the main cast was better. Vyner and Reda should’ve been main party members too.
>>39396221. Dita is a fucking bitch2. Story sucks3. Dita is a fucking bitch4. Main cast is weak, Lusica/Kuu can't carry hard enough5. Dita is a fucking bitch
I Love Dita!
>>3939626The story and worldbuilding should have been much better and somehow I don't have a single scene in the entire game I want to rewatch. I'm also a Colony Yubeil truther, so even though Kludge Yubeil is good, it's just not the same
Also Lusica's tits not being free is easily one of Hakika's top five crimes.
>>3939709I do as well, but Vyner is better.
Dita is very cool
>>3939758Yeah, I like her a lot. She would be great as a blob
Hello! I got robbed a few weeks ago and all my data was on the notebook.It isn't much of an issue cause I make a point to beat most games so I can ask for Clear datas later if I ever wanna do an NG+But Ghost Path was one of the few games that I was midway through.So does anyone have a Save Data from around the point you get the flying ship? Or if you don't, do you know how I can cheat through it? I don't really wanna do the start of the game until then again, so if I could blitz through all that some way I'd be glad.
>>3939769Are you from /mgggg/, that harpy loving fuck still there? Tell him I slaughtered a million harpies in a another game and one of them looked like that stupid little chicken one from part 1 I'm not sorry
>>3939626I thought it was great, even though Dita is my least favorite main girl. Story seemed fine to me.
>>3939769Probably the fastest way to get through the game quickly is to talk to the debug chicken next to Shake’s house to get access to the debug room, and use what’s in there to progress quickly
I will rip off Dita's stupid coat and make her show me her body.
Going from the one-two kino punch of Awake to Colony to an experimental spinoff and then Sludge is such a slog right now. I'm a couple hours in and it would be a miracle if Dita is redeemed. You'd think a JP writer wouldn't deviate from an ensemble cast without an element of boke/tsukkomi but Yubiel is worthlessly autistic, Lusica is happy-go-lucky with no one to balance her out, and Kuu is a doormat. No wonder all of the oshiposting outside of the token femboy I see is just Vyner because this cast is weak. These characters are more like second string personalities but there's at least 6 party slots so I'm praying to god Reda/Vyner joins or some character I actually care about.
>>3939878>at least 6 party slots so I'm praying to god Reda/Vyner joins or some character I actually care about.https://youtu.be/U1UtRnGn5hcThe gameplay is good at least, I legit think it's the best the series ever had, really good balancing and challenge level and every character can pull their weight.
>>3939758Her hat is her sole redeeming characteristic
>>3939878One of the saving graces of kludge is in the postgame, past some of the mandatory postgame bosses. Do look forward to it. Trust me, it’s great.
>>3939879Fuck.>>3939961Yeah I mean to play through all of it anyways, game's not bad by any means just the whiplash in my enjoyment is a little rough.
>>3939878I like how you didn't even mention Yolana/Faria cuz what even was the point of them? Wasted character slots.
>>3940065Faria at least has some story relevance later. Yolnaya has basically no story significance though. I think she only existed to let hakika put a lovey-dovey brown girl in the game
>>3940082>she only existed to let hakika put a lovey-dovey brown girl in the gameAnd he was right to, I just wish she had more going on
Almabros...
>>3940217I like big cats.
There aren't many scenes where someone's put in the amazon position in this series but every time It happens I can't help but laugh at it a little because of how outside of the realm of fiction it's a completely irrational position for pleasure or even humiliation
>>3939878>awake>kinowhat?anyway the main issue in kludge is that the scenes are fucking gross>dick cheese>pubes>borderline scat>mandatory faggot character that thankfully you can ignore but he's the healer so it makes the game a bit hardera lot of stupid choices here that's for damn sure
We're back...
>>3940363Have you tried not being a normalfag
>>3940436You know, this may be late but Hakika isn't really good at drawing legs and feet is he? I may be overthinking it but I feel like the Angel is going to be everyone's favorite
>>3940473He gives almost everyone gloves so he doesn't have to draw hands that precisely. I think he draws
>>3940436I realized during the downtime that I would panic if we lost this place before Thirst's release because I don't know where I would look to try and find it outside of the Sequelbin...
>>3940525If you were here when 4chan went down last year, you should already know where to go.
>>3939828Good idea and I was gonna do that. But>RGSS20E.dllWasn't found. What's that? I have the RPG Maker VX Ace so it shouldn't be an issue. I thinik I had a similar issue when I installed some SEQUEL game in my original notebook.
>>3940583Original Ghost Path (and the other prequel games Silver Tower and older) were VX, not VX Ace.
>>3940583You need the RPG Maker VX RTP.https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/run-time-package
>>3940527nta i was here but i always forget the alternatives like three days after we come back up
>>3940591Alright it's working
>>3940473The thing I hate the most about the new style is the hands. Everyone is a basketball player, big palms, long sausage fingers. The second thing is the mouth lines.
>>3940436The fat cow is gonna be the favorite, calling it now
I liked Dita and married her
>>3940675That body is KRIMinal. I must plap.
Err how do I use the Debug Room in Ghost Path? I activated the Debug Chicken and got the Debug Token, and it says that there is a Warp in Shakes' bed but I keep clicking and nothing happens and the Debug Token is unusable
>>3940684Seems it automatically becomes available after you progress a bit. It's working now
>>3940506I'm legit really curious how Mana tank ends up fucking this, she legit doesn't seem that into sex so she probably does it because she catches feels for the guy then again Tirma gave me the same impression at first as well then we find out she's a total freak ready to make bed springs sing
Many thanks for the Debug Room idea!This is hella OP and in 1 hour I managed to cross through the mountain and desert, reaching the village you recruit the clairvoyant girl even though I was talking to every NPC along the way and the like.I'm now hopeful I'll soon be able to reach where I once was. And furthermore, for the games with progress lost, the same using easy modes and the like.
>>3940748You can equip the Blessing of Myth accessory on Shake too, that thing is handy for regular play and for postgame grinding.
>>3940751And it's done!
These threads kinda died with subpar gone.

>>3941071Who’s Shesta?
>>3941078Fuck I meant Lestea, I've been playing MGQ Paradox and had a different bug wife on the brain
>>3940363Funny, everybody always says Kuu is so good, i always though Lusica was better, boost her agility with equipment and she can heal your party, boost defence, put up barriers and more.
>>3941009It's over. The world will be plunged into darkness before we get thirst.
>>3939626Weakest cast in series carried hardest by it's characters.
test noja
>>3941302
>>3940675I think she’s a fan favorite for the time being. I’d hope hakikas knows exactly what to do for her scenes too. Personally I really want more frog embrace position scenes like the shark ones from colony or Kaamos’s scenes.
Any chance we get some NTR next game? Maybe mana tank fucking the protags sister or something of the sort?
>>3941481Doubtful, really. It doesn’t even seem that Mana Tank is going to be in Hollowwald. Also hakika doesn’t do NTR in the typical sense, he usually just does cuckqueaning since he seems to have a thing for it.
>>3941481We'll see NTR/maledom in 10 years when hakika is an ojisan and done with the sequel series.
>>3941481Manatank potentially fucking his great great grandma, I like it. Let's also make him fuck his great great grandpa twink while at it too.
Uula will become the president of the Aurum Company
Awake was the best game by far
>>3942012>Awake was the best game by farWhat's your ranking of the games?
>>3942129Awake > blight > colony > kludgeAwake had by far my favorite cast and I thought the story was fine, even if nothing exceptional. Probably looking at blight with rose tinted glasses but I just have fond memories of the game and really liked the class system.Colony had probably the best plot but I found the cast dreadfully boring for the most part. Kludge also had a boring cast but also a terrible story.Also played asylum and innocent rule but those are hard to really judge against the mainline titles.
>>3942172I kind of agree, Lestea and Auris did carry colony. Emela and Rabi could have been any two characters from the series with minimal changes to the overall storytelling.
>>3942012Awake's first 50% was the best.
>>3942179Emela is mostly comic relief, however Rabi is comic relief + an audience surrogate since she's a familiar character.
>>3942266Yeah don't make half your main cast comic relief. Also we have Mana Tank for audience surrogate duties.>t. biggest rabi hater itt
>>3942172For it me depends what you're looking for because I would rate Blight, Colony, and Awake higher depending if I want a fun gameplay adventure HRPGM, a good story with some H and a smaller more intimate cast, or a visual novel with some gameplay respectively. I think someone put it best back when I started the series that all of the games are worth playing because each of them has their strong points. Even Kludge for the post-game and Asylum for the freaks.>>3942269Mana tank is self-insert for PoV mana draining but surprisingly I vibe with Dire boke/tsukkomi routines more than anything. Emela was basically invisible until post-game but Rabi balanced out the cast really well. It's a lot harder to write for a fixed/small cast than to write whatever while 8 girls peg you daily because then any sucker would fall for an oshi and consider the writing decent. >>3942179>X and Y carried ColonyBruh that's half the cast and the ones mentioned were both of the plot centric characters I think you just give credit where it's due.
Surprisingly enough he had the most relevance in kludge compared to previous games
Rabi is in every way inferior to her femboy copy
>>3942496Rabi can get pregnant
So as someone who dropped off around halfway through Kludge, what have I missed?
>>3942858Frabi is dead
>>3942858You've missed quite a lot. L.Depth was really good, albeit short, Innocent Rules was good, and thirst is apparently great according to those that have played it. All the era of myth games have been translated too, aside from Ruinswald whose translation is in-progress anyway. It's about 70% done, Mythseeker said previously.If you didn't finish kludge, you probably should to see Olivia's stuff in the end of the postgame too.
>>3942858Inel
>>3942381A bit annoying because we'll never know why there's some kind of tracker for him alongside the Kuuem chambers, and also what's it for
>>3942858Nothing good
We got plenty good.
I still can’t believe this series somehow got a collab with a gacha
>>3943474The bar for ero gacha to collab with is very low
>>3943249I want double paizuri from prim and krim. In fact, I want everything.
Huh, Faria's ancestor perhaps?>>3943474To be fair they did make collabs here and there with other games. But it's great it got something.
>>3943590Yep, it's Faria's ancestor Lisferia.
>>3943596Holy shit she is nearly identical. Faria's genes must be ultra dominant
How easy is it to miss the scenes in ASYLUM?I kinda hate that they can be missed...
>>3943717It's not that they can be missed. Some scenes are just exclusive to ending C. And you can't get some scenes if you do ending A, but nobody does that ending anyway, so don't worry about it. Endings B and C are the only two that unlock substantial things in the postgame, namely the superbosses and aforementioned scenes
>>3943743I see. Thanks!
Is there some lore reason for this abandoned castle down south? The skeleton is a blacksmith and everything is in ruins.Makes me wonder if it's just some Dragon Quest reference.
I NEED a threesome with Rabi and Frabi
>>3944071Same. It’s funny, I think that we never got one since hakika both made them too possessive of Mana Tank.

Was there ever any sprites for Rabi/Maria in the newer games that are closer to 128x192 like the ones in Asylum and onwards? I'm trying to import them into Elin but the older small sprites don't fit my world.
>>3945075Just Rabi, but it's not a complete sprite set. Since she had a cameo in Innocent Rules.
>>3945086Oof. There's no left/right walking in-between frame but I can totally work with this. Thanks for saving me a ton of work and the spoiler since only I'm on Kludge post-game and want to take a break. Can I ask if there's also one for Lestea? I managed to find bugmom and I want to get them together in a party, I can probably gene edit Lestea's eyes and turn Shin into a dark caster fairy.
>>3945096Yeah.
should i play the old games before sekwel? i dont care if there isnt porn
>>3945252Play the Sequel games first, I feel. That way, when you go back for the era of myth games, you’ll have a lot of mindfuck moments
>>3945075 (Me)Man, Auris's Kludge sprite is insanely pretty. It's hilarious how small Olivia is in comparison. Ended up making Auris a succubus ice warmage and Olivia a paladin, there's probably ways to finetune the unit spells behaviors and such but I'll leave it for now. Time to level.
Anyone knows how I trigger anything here?
>>3945625Nope, there's nothing there at all. I think something was planned to be added there, given that Ghost Path already got one update for Lisferia and Planetaria's quests, but hakika probably moved on to Erra Saga before doing any more updates to the game.
>>3945632Alright makes sense. I saw Kakashi's doll and someone mentioning her, traces of people that passed here and there so I assumed it'd lead to something but I guess their cases are other sidequests.
did Thirst address why Idea's plan in Vastas basically amounted to "create a big stalemate fan so a figure strong enough to fix everything eventually emerges"?
>>3945650Thirst doesn't bring up Idea or the Calamity at all.
>>3945656wait really? does it deal with some of the other plot threads or does it just do whatever because lol lmao?
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT
>>3945669The latter. Thirst is very hyperfocused on stuff from Shikinowa, there's a lot to it.
Jesus Christ he is fucking powerful
>>3945677I came back to fight him way later. I remember trying it basically right after I beat the main story and I got my ass beat.
Alright>>3945680Daaaamn
I'm lost. I'm at the Pyramid in Ghost Path. I triggered a button, I got the elevator key but I dunno what opened nor where the elevator is.
>>3945745The elevator's near the start of the area, if I remember right
>>3945753Alright I found it. Was in one of the ''dark windows'' near the first trap chest.
Thought it'd be better to post this for posterity in case the others get mentioned in future series or SEQUEL.Arknoah knows there are 7 Dragon Gods, but only 3 still have their name known.Shandor is likely Shandol, which the Succubi Nun from Alzhett have a faith around. In SEQUEL Colony it's deduced their church's propensity to firearms has some relation to his fire attribute, but it may be something even older than that as the helpful robot in the Pyramid was also a gun wielder.
Makes me wonder if the other two are mentioned too.
>>3945769You get to see all the dragon gods, don’t worry
when Ruinswald translation >:(
>>3945779Sugoi
playing the old games reminds me how much i hate random encounters.
Been playing Asylum again and i must say; Asylum's attempts at copying darksouls' themes does not work because of the mechanics. Darksouls is mostly skill-based and real time execution gameplay which gives more weight to players who give up becoming hollow. Asylum's gameplay is number-based and turn-based execution. Meaning with enough mundane repetition (grinding), which doesn't constitute to effort, the player will surpass their obstacles. Anyone can do it with the right meta knowledge really.
>>3945805Thankfully Atline, Ghost Path and Erra Saga are the only games with random encounters. Hakika learned pretty early on that they suck.
>>3945833The game was pretty experimental and I don’t think it turned out the best. It’s weird because hakika was pretty close to having grinding not do much, since levels only give HP, SP and skill points. But there are some skill tree passives that give stats too, so basically he made the stat upgrades from levels optional. I still think the “intended” thing to do when you get a tough challenge in front of you is to explore elsewhere, since new gear and more stones of sin for your familiars does make a big difference, on top of more skill points.Also, your point on Dark Souls: grinding is plenty doable in all the souls games for a big advantage. Not usually in a stat-based way though. Grinding in a soulslike is usually for passing stat checks for new equipment/spells or for equipping new armor and being able to roll better with it. I remember grinding sometimes for that kind of thing. Grinding for HP early can also make a huge difference. You still have to get gud at the fight, but more HP = more allowable mistakes, which can make a boss clear so much easier.
>>3945871Environmental design was too samey. Hakika can definitely retain the stagnation thing and give each zones some variety. It genuinely felt like walking through an actual jungle the moment you exit Albus' tower. It's too easy to get lost which hurts the exploration.As for the dark souls part, i was talking about the skill ceiling. you can give all the meta knowledge to a noob and a pro and the noob would struggle more. It elevates the going hollow thing in the narrative. In Asylum, with all meta knowledge, all players function basically the same so the heart broken thing doesnt mean anything. It's not even a mechanic, just a narrative device.
>>3945877There's no interesting landmarks so it's really easy to get lost. The mountain/cave zones are retarded.
Are you kidding me she was fertile
>>3945891Well yes, of course she is
>>3945805Tell me about it. I'm rushing through it to recover my progress and even Ghost Walk that bypasses them is erratic>>3945868I usually don't have much issue but Ghost Path has a world map and all, it's big and Hakika was flexing how much he came from Atline. In this case it's detrimental when you need to explore a lot.Though this dude really is something. How the fuck his first two games were this developed? Like, sure they have their issues but while they aren't quite SEQUEL they still beat like 90% of the RPG Maker games AND a good portion of the popular ones at it.By the way found Sudoraguna, the Darkness Dragon. That's the fourth one. I also liked how before his bossfight had this book exposing that you can't protect from the insta-death by, well, insta-death. And it follows with Shake musing if insta-death doesn't protect, maybe this emphasis on ''Darkness'' could mean something.I've also found interesting how Hakika has established the nature of some elements early on. Shake naturally learns Light-attribute spells while leveling up, she doesn't naturally learn Darkness BUT she is the sole member of the team that CAN learn Darkness. This is something that is called in ASYLUM that light and darkness are always close to each other.
>>3945871Personally I love the exploration of ASYLUM. Scenes are decent. I like the characters.But the severe lack of banter anywhere that isn't the base was a big downside.
>>3946005Yep, hakika just dropped the ball with the banter in Asylum, which was a damn shame. At least he did better in Innocent Rules with Ino and Fiede, their banter was great.
>beat Ghost Path>Hakika: UOOOOOOOOH I AM FLEXING
I wonder if this thing is gonna or was important somewhere in SEQUEL.It reminds me of whatever that creature Sibluml summoned in SEQUEL Awake was. And it's a similar pattern too of the big bad summoning a creature first before engaging in battle.That said it felt too weird you know. We barely met Charis and marched to battle. I'll put the Debug Weapons again to speedblitz the Post-Game because I'm curious for answers. Too much needs explaining. Specially the Atline cast being here since the World Fusion should only happen by the Runeswald game. Atline does expose world transfer is a thing as Jack finds the Shard of Another World that Kakashi uses to find her home but it isn't like we learn further why Rifar, Arknoah and Jack ended in Ghost Path's world
>Shake: are you a masochist?>Arknoah's response
Oh wow
>Arknoah mentions she isn't surprised because she does ''similar stuff''>Remember her quest in AtlineOh... huh?! SHE IS A GHOST PATH USER?Now that I remember, Rifar also had the whole dream entering. ANd the quest could only be done by Heretics like Jack and Arknoah on the party... the three that are in Ghost Path.Of course, all the other humans from Atline are mana-dependant. They can't even more without mana in range.
>>3946269This nigga is everywhere. It's like the wyvern skeleton in monster hunter.
>>3946202IR is still not that good at banter. A proper cohesive party is needed. 3 is the bare minimum, but ideally 4-6 like in most mainline games.
Holy fuck i'm getting aneyrism from Thirst font choice in japanese language. How do I chance it?
>>3946404>How do I chance it?i usually go for bow then double maul, but some people bolt insteadgl on your pking
>>3946404If you have RPGM MZ you can edit the main font in Database -> System 2Maybe it's also possible to change if you fuck with the font files in the fonts folder without RPGM but I have no idea if that can fuck things up.
https://x.com/cushion_cover/status/2033302230745653402Hakika… the dating sim… when…
>>3946484
>>3946276Arknoah knows a lot of magic, I don’t think she knows Ghost Path though
>>3946573Mok also explains he is the one that wrote down the Ghost Path and spread it in books across the world.As an outworlder, Arknoah likely just had a curse spell of similar results rather than the Ghost Path proper. She could build weird internal worlds and all in Atline.Thinking back, Hakika was likely teasing she was from another alternate world as she arrived recently in Atline. Wouldn't surprise me if so was Rifar.
Any idea how I invade this place?
HUH???Ghost Path is in Atline's world?!
>>3946821You access it from the water town to the south. >>3946829Eh, that’s not it. Each game in the era of myth is its own world, they all get connected together when Ranie makes Ordowald later. But in the era of myth itself, important characters like Jack, Arknoah and Rifar seem to be able to travel to different worlds on the regular. We don’t know exactly how.
In the blight postgame rn and was wondering if there's a more efficient way to farm those chickens in the spire. My current strat was have 2 people use bind and 2 people use queen hell afterwards, but the chicken still goes first and half the time they just run away, is there a way to always get first turn that I don't know of ?
>>3947014Emboldening Command from Queen. Here’s the sequel bin’s writeup on chickener farming.>The easiest way to kill Chickeners is to respec your characters to be two Queens with Emboldening Command and two Assassins with Search Shot, as well as Mechanic's EXP boost passives on everyone. You may still have trouble killing Rare Chickeners before your first reincarnation; try to get a strong 2H Bow for both Assassins, and unlock Striker's ATK passives and Assassin's crit chance passives on them. If you're too weak to kill Rare Chickeners, Emboldening Command combined with Royal Bind, and then followed by a DEF-ignoring attack on the next turn like Warrior's Breakdust skill or Striker's Striking Blow skill will allow you to kill them no matter your level.
>>3947026Nice thanks, completely forgot about that skill, I (wrongly) assumed the casting time is based on the user AGI, but it makes sense it's always the first action
>>3946484That was basically Awake and was the best thing about it.
>>3947407I think you’re about right, actually
>>3947566I miss Maria like you wouldn't believe, I didn't even want to give a Ring of Promise to anyone else in Colony+ >AwakeBlight was the gameplayfag game with 10 trees and customizable multiclassing characters, Awake was the visual novel with 8 heroines and 100 scene fap marathon, Colony was the plot/worldbuilding focused game. It was nice the trio of initial releases all had good strengths.
>Planetaria girl has a bunch of high level skills>>>spent all the potions I gave her while attempting to open that door in the caveSheesh
>>3947600She's really not the sharpest tool in the shed.
>>3947789Succubus nun propaganda!
>>3947704Feels fitting how the two strongest motherfuckers helpers were the dumbest too.That said kind of questionable how in the Final Dungeon we only had the help of Mok's former partner for a single battle. I get that Hakika wanted us to change helpers with natives of each place or travelers like Rifar but after the forest we recruit Melt that mechanic was only used like twice since.Planetaria feels like the only time this is done right with her tagging in through the full exploration.
>>3947844Yeah. I think hakika did keep it as 3 party members just to have a guest party member like Blanc here and there. Perhaps Blanc was meant to be the final permanent party member too, that would've been great compared to what we got with him.
Compiled this for anyone interested. Shaandor is likely how they translated Shandol in Ghost Path, the Dragon God that the succubi nun of Alzhett pray to.
>>3947873Yeah, that’s correct. Also one differing translation from colony’s TL was Vailant the light dragon god, it’s Wilant in the era of myth games
>>3947887Wait, so this guy? I lost my screenshots and notes from Colony and ASYLUM, but is this also Ino's predecessor?
>>3947889No. Play Silver Tower if you’re interested in that.
No newshttps://x.com/alasharx_/status/2034666070037127410Cool Nao.
It’s Friday…
>>3948228
>>3948258>thirst has balljobs tooSasuga, hakika
>>3948228Time to dress up and bring out my dildo again
95% done!>>>/vg/560980712Give him your energy!
>>3948409Alright and I'm soon to beat Ghost Path too
>>3948426Good luck anon.
>>3948462Thanks
>>3948228>>3948397I need to stuff this slutty homochicken.
>>3948409So would 2-3 weeks until release be a safe estimate then? He said on f95 before that he starts a TL session by editing what he translated in the previous one, so I assume it'll be ready to go after he hits 100%. Either way, nice to see it's almost done.
FRIDAY IS OVERNO MORE NAKED MENONLY NAKED WOMEN NOW
>>3948409Soon i'll get to understand facehugger Nazuna's scene and see just how freaky Prim really is
OH GOD SHE'S ON MY FACE
>>3948624Just let it happen…
How many of you guys are going for the hag?
>>3948925Either Prim or Aruko for me, I'll decide who I like more as I play
Hey there. Been a while. In preparation for the apparent release of thirst's translation. v2.02 has been added to the bin. It'd be wise to get it in advance.
>>3949162SUGOOOOI
>>3949162the punished fish lover...
>>3949162Finally, something to be excited for, aragato fisshu-chan
>the bashing wound from Kludgelol
Wait what
>>3949347Maybe something she got from Tahati.
THE BUNNY
In Colony, Maria is described as being in the top 10 most powerful people in the world, how many of the top 10 do you think we know? List your top 10 of those we do know too, if you like
>>3949668
Just popping in to say we'll be playing thirst somewhere around mid April at worst and the end of March at best. I'm not the translator himself tho.
>>3949714Saxa and Yuris are up there. Also the Colmanas.
>>39497141. Ranie. She's an idiot, though. source: she made Ordowald and let in...2. Idea: A god who shouldn't exist, a being from a nightmare that Ranie fused with reality.3-5. Saxa, Yuris, and isn't there another one of them? Reality warping brats.6: Ino at full power/the Silver Dragon - successfully contained the Calamity for a time.7: Versa/the Calamity at full power. Unlike Ino, she's much closer to her peak than he currently is, or at least it seems so.8: Humans from the Era of Myth, whoever still live. That includes Arknoah. If Jack was still around, he'd probably be a higher tier.9: Unnerfed warp fishies.10: Maria with home advantage - she's powerful, but she's not world-breakingly powerful.The Colmanas seemed below super-Maria when they were fought in Blight, right? I'd also consider current Versa and Ino to be below Maria and not make the top 10, and include Tahati somewhere instead.
I love this series, I have just finished Innocent Rules and extremely eager to play Thirst. In the meantime, I was wondering about Era of Myth games, should I go from the beginning? Is there a recommenced order? Should I go chronologically? I read through some archives and saw the earlier games have random encounters which I hate, reminds me of Zubat. I do intend to play them all eventually, but I'd like to be eased in slightly, if possible
>>3949776Just play the era of myth games in release order. You could also play Liberty Step first if you want, that was a lot of people’s first one since it was translated first. I say start with Atline first though and play Liberty Step after.
>>3949776Atline Town of Gears, Ghost Path, and Erra Saga have random encounters. They're also the first three games in the series, and the rest have on-map encounters.After them are Ruinswald (currently being translated, the rest are translated), Silver Tower, Ghost Path 2, and Liberty Step.You'll need the VX RTP for the earlier games, and the VX Ace RTP for Ghost Path 2 and Liberty Step (you probably have the latter already since I'm assuming you've played through Sequel).
>>3949783>>3949784Cheers lads, I'll just bear with the random encounters and play chronologically, can't see myself beating superbosses (if Era of Myth games have them), but I really want to see the lore
>Random encounter discussion here>progress in Ghost Path; party falls down a hole and gets scattered>Shake muses that combat would be more dangerous alone and she should play safe>>>game changes from randomized encounters to proper fixed onesHOLY SHIT
>>3949808Must’ve been hakika testing non-random encounters. Ghost Path came out in 2012 and both Erra Saga and Ruinswald came out in 2013, after all. I think Ruinswald got more attention of the two 2013 games, given it doesn’t have random encounters and it’s apparently very long.
>>3948409>nonzero chance it might drop on my holidays which are roughly 3 weeks from now on mid-apriloh FUCK yeah, sasuga translator-sama
>>3949755Shouldn't Malice be top 10 after ASYLUM?
I'm playing Atline and I don't know where to go Just got through the ice section, the wiki says the doors to the middle of the sunlamp should be open but they aren't, Jack just says he thinks there's something but the doors won't open
>>3950057Been a while, but I think the right door was near the end of the underground maze.
>>3950068Thanks man, completely forgot about that door. Much appreciated
>>3950073Cheers
>>3931549Bro what is taking them so long? I just want to play the new Sequel already. Is there a serviceable MTL?
>>3950135See >>3948409
>>3950141I did the math.Since it's out for 1 1/2 years it's still gonna take 27,5 days. That's a long ass time.
>>3950159It's alright, anon. Just go play something else in the meantime.
>>3950159You've already waited this long, what's another few weeks? Just go play a long JRPG or watch a long TV show
Another Atline question, how the fuck do I get Red Cat to join? I think I've done his events, up to the smoke one anyway. The wiki says "If you finish all the events related to Rifer and go to the weapons store in the big house in the third compartment with the information about Nightmare Payment in mind, you can talk to Rifer." I'm not sure what Nightmare Payment is referring to
>>3950226Postgame only. You get him after you get Arknoah pretty much.
>>3950227I'm in the postgame, still can't find him, let alone recruit him. I have Arknoah too
>>3950228Really gotta progress the postgame and keep doing side stuff, he'll eventually end up in this house. I remember you have to do the miniature world sidequest too. Make sure you talk to everyone in Atline too, it's important for sidequests to show up
>>3950237I found it, had to talk to the sighing woman in the big house, I must have spoken to everybody in Atline except her about fifty times. Thanks though, it's a fun game but I'm very spoiled by the later games' QOL
>>3950240It's pretty jank for that reason, as are some aspects of the other era of myth games. There's more and more QoL as you get closer to the Sequel games though.
I'm probably not gonna check the thread. So could you guys please make a /v/ on release? That would be awesome thanks.
>>3950241I'm really looking forward to the rest of the EoM games honestly, the lore is always great but even as early as Atline you can see some interesting parallels and early ideas. Jack often reminds me of Dire when he interacts with his party. I'll get over the QOL stuff, it's something to do while waiting for Thirst anyway
>>3950048I'd say that depends on if you consider the extended ending or not. If so, then she's solo'd (since the homunculi are kind of like extensions of their master, right?) both the Silver Dragon and the Calamity who were giving it everything they had, and that would put her right under the reality warpers. Canonically, though, she beat a non-full-power Ino and then stopped there, so while she's the strongest protagonist, she's nowhere near Maria on her home turf.
>>3950251I could.
>>3950253Her biggest feats may not have happened in canon but it does show what she is capable of. I think that should count for any power rankings.
>>3950266True, but that situation can't happen any longer. Malice's real danger might be the fact that her growth doesn't seem limited by any sort of human boundaries - she can go from a strong ordinary person to a being capable of soloing the Calamity (which took 4 heroes of the Era of Myth in Silver Tower). None of the other protagonists have that much swing of power.Sure, they've taken on chibi-Ranie and Saxa, but chibi-Ranie is just a scrap of Arknoah's power and Saxa probably wasn't fighting seriously. On the other hand, the Star Dragon and the Calamity were fighting for their own lives and the lives of every other being, since a freed Calamity Malice will only seek more and more prey. To sum up, I would agree that Malice belongs on the list, but rather as a * than from 1-10 - in the right circumstances and after absorbing enough power, she could come out on top over potentially any of them, but right now she doesn't rank since she chose the friendly path... although I still wouldn't be surprised if she was the final boss of the entire Sequel series if Versa can't keep her under control once she gets out of Asylum into Ordowald proper.
>>3950271I actually think I reasoned myself into agreeing with that anon while I was typing, but I still stand by Malice not being rankable since part of her power seems to be getting stronger until there's nothing left for her to hunt.
HOLY SHIT
>>3950326Not the most diverse skillset but...
OH someone remembers the rumors >>3943590
There should be more kissing scene with globos. Not even fucking. Just a scene of a lesser man giving in to his urges to perch on another man's lips.
What if Call isn't the only family member Sun gets to breed.
>>3950404Really wouldn’t be surprising at all, hakika is a bit more degenerate with the scenes in the spinoffs. There’s that one hooded red haired girl we don’t know anything about either
>>3950418Or maybe that's his femboy dad
I beat all the dragons in Ghost Path. Why is Rifar not doing anything in Cat Island? I also took down the curses there. I know he is cursed, he displays the same behavior as Jack but it seems I can't find the source?
>>3950418God I need to fuck that angel
>>3950448>>3950448Rifar goes to Olhide after Cat Island, according to the wikihttps://w.atwiki.jp/hakika_ghostpath/pages/15.htmlGotta check the expandable section at the bottom, it’s for postgame curses
>>3950418Clearly the hooded girl is the evil second sister (you fuck her too, of course)
Hakika’s been pretty quiet as of late. There’s a decent chance that means we’ll get a new April Fool’s game this year. Any predictions?
>>3950418Touch the cow.
>>3950463Thanks
>>3950418Jeeze damn near all of them have some ridiculously voluptuous bodies
>>3950679I mean, hakika uses the Voluptuous tag for all his games
Did hakika ever tap the infinite potential of the oppai loli?
>>3950802Not really. I think the closest thing to one is the spectral?
>>3950974Why are mekakure girls always stacked?
>>3950802We know Hakika loves small girls like Olivia (hag) and Uula (NICE) but has he ever shown interest in loli (true)?
Globos are so...

So Krim does not like heights...
>>3950162I'm trying but everywhere I go I see this fat fuck. I also have to edit Maria's sprite sheets and marry her a second time later but first I'm leveling jewelry to make a good engagement ring.
>>3951213Can you have a threesome with them in that game?
>>3951225Olivia is fine with even more than a threesome but Auris isn't so they'd start to kill eachother. It just wasn't meant to be.
>>3951213Maybe this is my sign to try get into Elin properly again. It and Elona both filtered me but they also look like they'd be damn fun if they finally clicked.
>>3951235The early to mid game filter is more intense than other games I've played, but it's a sandbox in the truest sense and really kills time while we're on the home stretch for a Thirst. If you ever do give it another shot don't be too stressed about being lost since it gets better. I also gave my Lestea a few appropriate mutations but these days she's just farming at my home. It's nice seeing all these characters move around on their going about their daily life. I can also fluff Nazuna's tail.
>>3950463Do you know where Lisferia went? I searched the Key, she is gone, I assume her father is the old man that asks me to check her.She mentioned Sangoi but I didn't find her there. She is likely cursed considering Mok's reaction
>>3951349Forget it, found her at the bottom of the Dragon Tower.
So that's where the Cursed Eye comes from
I like this trait how the Heretics all have super stamina. Jack notes he could still find and fend for himself until the curse rendered him stunned there, Arknoah was just suffering a burden and Rifar lasted an entire travel across the world.Also I'm not sure if this >>3945625 place was intended for a future update or an indication of where the trio arrived from. It could mean they went to Outside from Atline and somehow a place over there sent them to Ghost Path
Expected a better title
>beat all dragons>got all their blessings from the temple>exorcised Jack, Arknoah and Rifar>I (think) I finished Planetaria's quest by clearing that temple. She mentions a ''master'' who I haven't seen.Is there more to her?>I (think) I finished Lisferia's quest by talking to her in Sangoi after controlling her curse (as exorcising the Cursed Eye would have killed her). Talked until she asked our names and she went to travel, disappearing from SangoiAnything more to her?>check the wiki>The secret final dungeon can be accessed through a large hole in "Alim, the City of Farewell." However, to do so, all 50 curses must be resolved.>mineNot really in the mood for that. Anything at the end of this like cutscenes or teases for the next game? Cause if noto I'm really gonna call it a clear. And if it does I'm gonna beg someone to tell me what happens or post a cutscene cause I don't have a way to track the exact curses remaining.
>>3951370I actually would suggest at least going in to see the real final boss after getting all the curses. You don’t have to beat him, but honestly, he’s not very difficult either.
>>3951060Nosh and Nordol.
>>3951060>>3951623Also Solte and the oil girl from IR
>>3951595The main problem is tracking all the curses. I went everywhere through the game. There is no place left for me.I have RPG Maker VX Ace. How do I edit the game so it thinks I did all that? Cause if I could just skip this process I'd go straight for the final boss.
>>3951653I have a list from an anon in a previous thread. I hope you’ve been keeping track of what you didCurses1. Terra start2. big hole in Alim (need to do)3. Guy in house in Muro4. Chiwa - Wine5.

>>3951667Alright done! Only the Symbol monsters remain but Mok reacted differently to the hole. That it leads... to the soul of the World itselfHm, do I miss anything but ignoring the last Symbol Monsters?>>3951794Lmao
Fuck. What the hell is this last dungeon? I made it all the way to the magma zone, that hints I need to use Ghost Path when nowhere is everywhere but this map is gigantic
>>3951826There’s a certain room where you need to Ghost Path at, it’s pretty obvious
>>3951826I recommend the wiki for that. It has a map
>>3951841It, and the MTL, aren't helping much. There are three GP marks zones and 2 bosses. I'm roaming in circles here in this gigantic map.If you could dumb it down for me, just tell me which are I'm meant to be to do it and it will be enough. Cause every time I miss it I'm back to starting line.
>>3951962It's probably easier to imagine the hint as "Dead Ends" - I might be missing one or two, I don't remember.
>>3952072okay!
Need...translation...so...Thirsty...
>>3952515How thirsty?
Hakika bring her back to me, I miss her.
where is the fucking translation
Be patient
So this is the Final Final Boss of Ghost Path? Am I supposed to recognize him from SEQUEL or something?
>>3953151Nope, that's not the final boss
>>3953152Oh, a Great Hole. I see.
Oh
>>3953156Yep, that's him.
>>3953161Oh shit. I knew there was something to the Evil Snowman in Colony since one of the curses Shake slays is in a Snowman.I guess this means in a future entry in Zephyros Continent we will re-explore Ghost Path
>>3953163Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if Faria would return for that Zephyr Continent game either, she's the new traveling cursebreaker in Ordowald. Shake's successor.
Remember like ten months ago, when you anons said Thirst translation would be out in a few months?Anons must have been smoking crack.
>>3953168Long gone are the times when we had sub-par cranking out translations in mere months. People get old, they have more responsibilities than just translating games
>>3953181At least when Hollowwald comes out I'll be putting my focus on it, and fortunately for the speed of my translations I don't have a life outside of work.That is, unless there's a more preferred translator (I'm the one who did Erra Saga, Silver Tower, and Ghost Path 2) for the game.
>>3953189Honestly, go ahead and claim it now, I’d even say make a thread on ulmf for it soon after the game’s release to exclaim that you’re translating it
Welp finally done with Ghost Path and frankly, I didn't like Ghost Path. Since I lost all my saves I used the Debug Weapons to speedrun most stuff and drop using them here and there to enjoy the game but due to that I see that there wasn't even much to the game.Atline had more to it, to its people, to the party, the neighborhood and so on. Something I feel is missing in most SEQUELs even. Ghost Path has an entire world but it doesn't have much to the world, not even to the adventure. We didn't even learn much on why Terra was so important and we kill off Charis as soon as we finally meet him. We do get some exposure on him before he got corrupted but... that's it.Atline was simple and all but it was much more fulfilling. Everything I do in Ghost Path is like Hakika had a really good idea but it's followed by a really bad implementation, specially with the temporary party members that he dropped along the way.
>>3953190I don't know what ULMF is, but I post on my Bluesky (won't use twitter so long as Musk owns it) when I start working on a TL.>>3953192IMO Ghost Path is Hakika's weakest game. Atline's strange little world and party dynamics are more fun, and Erra Saga has a clean simplicity that keeps it from dragging out too much (at least during the main game, the postgame's a slog).
>>3953195ulmf is an forum, google it. They don’t allow game links either, it’s basically just for eroge discussion and translation discussion
>>3953195>ULMFOne of the forums of these games. Not sure how it differs from F95 zone but some games are there instead in f95>Bluesky>TwitterI don't really care about whatever is holding each but neither are needing me to go through full age verification UNlike discord so I use mostly twitter because most artists are there.
How far is Innocent Rules' translation?
>>3953241Soon^tm
>>3953241Anon... it's been done for over a year now
>>3953252Okay in that case how long is the game roughly? Cause if it's like utra long I'll get something else out of my backlog since I just beat Ghost Path and would rather avoid fatigue
>>3953257I think you can get at least 30 hours out of it just from doing all the non-superboss stuff
>>3953262Alright
>>3953189I'm currently playing Erra Saga and the translation is totally fine. 0 complaints from me.I say go for it
>>3953215Still owned by f95 from what I've heard so not a safe place for translations I think.
>>3953266It’s a safe place for translations, you just can’t post images of a game if it’s risque
>>3953192Ghost Path 1 is pretty much hakika's worst game, but it's required reading for fully enjoying Ghost Path 2. That one is honestly one of the best era of myth games, even if it has some problems like the postgame being so gigantic.
Replaying Kludge, just beat Versa with only +1 weapons, do I need to grind much to beat the combined God? Not sure I can be bothered
The translation being done won't change the fact that there's still no FUCKING DATING SIM HACKIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>3953369You don't really need any of the weapons from beating Versa if you have +1 gear already. You just need a +1 weapon and armor on everyone, maybe a Mashinarc Dusha +1 on some party members too, and some parts upgraded to +1 as well (especially those ones from from the mechagods)
>>3953386Cheers, it's the shard grinding that's been annoying, I don't mind beating the weapons or Mechagods but fucking about looking for the Windstilla cloud guys is boring. Think I'll replay IR, maybe come back to this depending how long Thirst takes
Any Anons who have actually played and understood Thirst, where would you rank it in the series?
>>3953395Second best game in the series. It was pretty close to beating colony as my favorite.
I need more Hakika ham. More perfectly seasoned slam pig.
>>3953377Who thisCaamia?
>>3953530Anon...
https://x.com/RenoAndika0_0/status/2038082860805177456
>>3953553Ironically, Rabi already did the whole title drop thing back in Blight
>>3953572kino....
>>3953572OK but where is the translation
>>3953738Being annoying about asking for it repeatedly won’t make it come out any faster, anon. In fact, it’d do the opposite.
>>3953803You dont know that. Unless you are the translator, which I highly doubt, that is, ofcourse.
>>3953803Infact, maybe bullying the translator might actually work in our favor.
>>3953803Maybe, but it makes me feel better
>>3953846Respectable
>>3953803>withholding a translation just to spite annoying posters on a Lumber Appreciation ForumSomeone wouldn't really do that, right?
>>3953803We should go back to the days where we'd chain our translators to their desks and force them to continue until the job was done.
>>3953976This but in the cage under my bed.
>>3953992How about tied to the bed?
https://x.com/oryodayon/status/2037902543960076705Kuu CG set from this guy soon, seems like
What am I doing wrong here? Replaying and can't remember for the life of me
>>3954150nevermind, that's postgame, I found the correct entrance
April Fools tomorrow for Japan.
Playing Atline, where'd the baldy selling ailment resistance gears go?
>>3954400The workshop guy? His basement. Go save him
>>3954419I cleared out the basement but he's still gone.Jacccku even commented on it when i came out, surprised that the guy "hasn't returned yet" or something along these lines
>>3954420You have to go talk to people outside iirc
>>3954422Yeah seems i had to talk to some pixelated whore outside, ty
I need to jork it to the new bunboy real bad...
Is Atline actually his first game?I wasn't expecting much from it but it's greatIt doesn't feel like someone's first game
>>3954552Yes, it was
Can someone remind me where the option to cross through time is in IR?
>>3944435I came here to check on that too. Shame. Has subbar completely disappeared from the scene? I thought his translations were pretty good.
>>3954552Yeah, I've finished Atline a while ago and had tons of fun with itHowever, I'll never play another Hakika RPG without a guideGetting ultimate weapons or secret bosses is completely bullshit without looking shit upNow playing Ghost Path and you have to click on a certain chest 50 times till it explodes and reveals secret passage
>>3954613Yeah. Sub-par hasn't translated anything in years, he's done with translating.
>>3954573This guy in Ainoa
>>3954613INNOCENT RULES was so bad that she gave up on the series.
>>3954625>innocent rules>badJust face the facts, anon. Nobody can be a translator forever. Sub-par's time as a translator was going to end eventually.
>>3954629I'm not joking, that's literally the reason. IR combined with Kludge made her lose interest in the series. To the point of not even trying out Thirst.
>>3954654Is there proof of this or are you just bullshitting? That can't be the only thing to it if that's the case, since sub-par hasn't translated at all anything since L.Depth. Not even anything that wasn't a hakika game.
>>3954659
>>3954664This just sounds really cynical to me. And it doesn't even apply to L.Depth either, which was sub-par's last translated game. That game had a great story that was entirely contained in its own game. I still think he's skirting around how he doesn't want to do translations anymore.
>>3954684>>3954684ou have to accept that sub par simply was done with hakika after 3 disappointing games narrative wise. Interest overall in the series sunk like a rock after Colony it was alread wavering with Awake and Asylum but Kludge, Innocent Rules and L.Depth just weren't enough to keep enough eyes on it.This is just personal opinion but I bet the same will happen with Thirst, people will only care because they like Nazuna and Hollowald will probably be the big last chance for a lot of people even in this general assuming it even gets translated
>>3954724>Interest overall in the series sunk like a rock after ColonyWhat the hell are you smoking? More eyes are on this series than ever before. We even got new translators to step in instead of having sub=par do everything.>Hollowald will probably be the big last chance for a lot of people even in this general assuming it even gets translatedI have my optimism tempered for it, but I very much doubt it could be worse than Asylum or kludge.
i'm going to not cum until I have this game on my PC everyone who played thirst talked a big game about it's h scenes being really arousing this time around especially the new animated ones I've yet to see i want to be as aroused as I was seeing sheena, tirma, auris scenes
>>3954748Well you probably won’t be disappointed in that regard
>>3954737I'll give Hollowwald my best effort when it comes out.The one thing I'm not sure about is how to handle the inevitable updates. If it was VX/VX Ace, I could use Translator++ to compare the scripts, but since I've never worked with MZ before, I don't know if that would work.I could also wait until it's finished updating to try, but I don't think people would want to wait that long if I could get it done earlier...Maybe I could translate the update files separately and copy them in and let them paste in as they would naturally? Again I'm not sure how MZ works since the most recent RPGM I've worked on was MV, and that was only one game years ago.
can you autobattle in atline or is the hold Q to speedup the only thing
>>3954724>Hollowald will probably be the big last chance for a lot of people even in this generalIsn't it supposed to be completely unrelated?>>3954737>I have my optimism tempered for it, but I very much doubt it could be worse than Asylum or kludge.Also pretty much this. So long as we're not Asylum or Kludge tier I'm happy enough. I do want more plot advancement, but it is what it is.
Can't tell if it's a compliment or not that people are so critical of and have such high expectations of one guy's RPGMaker games
https://x.com/hakika_/status/2038908454434484436April Fools game confirmed?
>>3954934titlets bewareTirma has a big scare!
>>3954684>KludgeDogshit main story, only saved by its above average postgame, though it teases "what is to come" more.> L.DepthYes good self-contained story, but doesn't move forward with the overarching story whatsoever.> INNOCENT RULESWhat even was the point of this game? Story was so bland it makes Kludge look good and basically comes down to teasing "what is to come" even more. > Next SEQUEL takes place in ShikinowaSo at this point it's already obvious that the overarching plot isn't gonna move forward much, cuz we would've gone to Zephyr or Elcehil if that were the case. Maybe Thirst has a good self-contained story but let's not pretend like the overarching story has been going in a good direction.
stop huffing farts, it's a porn series
>>3954982ikr, we need to gatekeep these retards>"Erm, actually this story wasn't nuanced enough to my taste"fuck off you pretentious bitch
>>3954982>stop huffing fartsNo. That's what Hakika is into and what he hopes we are into as well.
>>3954980>>INNOCENT RULES>What even was the point of this game?It really was just a follow up to Asylum. Also a good excuse to explore Cocooned Land. And the game did give us more good worldbuilding, such as Luora’s backstory which is likely related to Caith’s, Tyvar’s origins with one of the dragon gods, and Kilma’s family. I think it was also good to have a comfy adventure game after kludge and L.Depth were so bleak too.The game was also an excuse to display Ino’s transformation into a free-use manwhore for both females and males.
>>3954986Hakika doesn’t like farts though
>>3954654>her
>>3953553God, I hate normalfags and their humor. Is it really soiling this series for a couple of updoots on xitter? Is it worth it spreading this to potentially bad actor secondaries?
>>3955012We need to gatekeep harderAt least the artstyle is already a decent normalnigger repellent but i wonder if that's enough
>>3954934https://ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/1121/article/1766868
was there an april fools game in 2025
>>3955035No
>>3954990He clearly likes scat so I wouldn't be surprised about farts but I haven't seen any indication of him specifically being into farts.
>>3955010Yes
Is the gear of time and space something i can get? Sounds like some kinda home return item
Surely next thread the translation will be droppedI mean that is two months
Thread's almost over
>>3955044that "she" has a penis, dude
>>3955066Eh, we’re at the top of page 10, it’ll still take a day or two for the thread to get archived
>>3954989I wonder if we see Ino again, would be nice to see him in next Sequel game.
>>3955067Neat!Though I don't know that she does
>>3955073little brathe was asking for it
>>3954854I wouldn't say it's people, it's one guy that just doesn't like the series anymore and equates his dislike to everyone else not liking it either. He used to stay contained to /hgg2d/ but I guess he's coming here now too. It's easy to spot him because he always brings up the fact that subpar isn't into the series anymore to back up his claims.
>>3953410You can't marry the trap in the Thirst though, right? I think I heard that bunny only has some scenes but that's it.
>>3955077You must be thinking of someone else, I actually still like the series despite its flaws.
>>3954854You're not a fan if you can't be critical
Is Uula still an aphrodisiac addict in Thirst?
>>3955150She actually dies of overdose, it's a big shock
>>3955150No, she becomes corrupted by power instead
>>3955191Sounds like an improvement. I'm playing through Blight right now and I don't like how she turns into a junkie, kinda.

>>3955213What's this?
>>3955218Oh, English.
Full of Thirst spoilers by the way, heads up.
>>3955224Don't care, it's made me laugh within the first few minutes already. Good work.
>>3955224SHIIITTTTT I was gonna play!
>>3955360You can still play it if you want
>>3955361I can't it would ruin the enjoyment if I don't understand the characters normally before seeing them enter silly mode at least I'm not missing out on lewd moments that would shake my resolve a little
A lot of people are gonna be retroactively mad in a few weeks, that's all I'll say.
>>3955371sore wa dou kanna
>>3955371thank god i'm always mad
>>3955371Why?
Bwuh?
>>3955371I've always been mad at this world. My happiest moments have been after the rain breaks, the birds sing, and humans are invisible.
>>3955387Young female MT is cute
>overarching storySEQUEL has one of these? I thought it was a comfy pornographic adventure series with a new Land Of Adventure with every installment and everything else was just a continuity tease.
>>3955465The overarching story is really part of the appeal. Ordowald in general is just interesting because of how hakika has set it all up. Country conflicts and whatnot. Exploring one region per year keeps it interesting too.
>>3955729lollmao
>>3955457If Mana Tank got genderswapped, would there still be girls tripping over themselves for him/her?Would we have to change the name from Mana Tank to Mana Jugs?
>>3955954That entirely depends on if she had mana milk (or discharge, I guess, but milk is more fun).I can imagine that one scene in Awake with the egg guy and MJ pulling out her tits like a pair of guns.
>>3955371>retroactively?
>>3955979you are already spoiled
