Hollowwald's 1.10 update should be coming out next week. Rusty Cradle's translation is still in progress.Thirst’s translation from qudere still isn’t out yet.
Man, it's hot in here.
>>4124571Maybe combine the two terms? Plateau of Circulatory Pilgrimage? Sub-par had to do something similar with how sindeed was translated in Asylum. Otherwise just go with Plateau of Pilgrimage and put in a TL note, maybe. It's pretty inelegant that way though.
>>4124733This guy is gonna get so fucking plapped I feel like>>4124739You know, it only now hit me that she only has 1 eye
>>4124743>You know, it only now hit me that she only has 1 eyeNazuna...
>>4124740Given how much stuff is based around blood in Hollowwald, I feel like calling it Circulatory Plateau might be the best I'll get. At least Sindeed is snappy in a chuuni sort of way.
Hollowwald mtl player here. Don't play it. The items aren't translated and rusty is nearly finished, so it's definitely not worth.
>>4124764Yeah, I’m a fan of sindeed myself, it worked really well in-context by being a mysterious word that you understand later
Yeah, this Hollowwald mtl is poor work. It's one thing if you're resorting to machines to translate for you, but for you to actually miss dialogue and leave it untranslated is the deal breaker.
Still missing her everyday...
>>4124770>>4124818You probably didn't update the translation, the items are translated.
>>4124849I want to give Lestea a little sister
>>4124740>咎>"less common">literally a component of the extremely common word 咎めるCongratulations on your designated troonslater being an imbecile, a LARPer, and a dekinai.
>>4124854Oh, you're right. Thought I had the updated one, but I didn't. Everything's properly translated now. Thanks.
>4124879Meanwhile I don’t see this mouthy anon translating anything.
>>4124733what's up with the tranny colors
can't fathom being a translatorit's too easy to learn a language in the modern day and age so feel nothing but disgust for retarded eops
>>4124740I suggested that earlier and I still think it's the best option. It may be a bit long, but that's totally ok for a location name.
>>4125009A certain girl’s eyes.
>>4125009They represent the majority of people who play porn games.
>>4125140>WHIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>4125140>kissShould have been Nazuna kissing MT
>>4124740>hollowwald TL story translation 80%+ done alreadywhat the fuck, if anon isn't bullshitting then lmao at the idiots who fell for MTLslop and ruined their experience for nothing
>>4125440still going to have to wait for 1.10 and 2.00 so its still going to take a while
>>4125440it's more that thirst has been "90% complete" for almost a year now
>>4125467Then it must definitely be close!
We do a little thirsting.
>>4125440story, but what about items and scenes?
>>4125572Right, forgot that hakika got the rollslop brainrot and a random prop or item description can be more relevant to the lore than main quest>Smaller, The Voluminous One>It is the container that held Zanzibart's forgiveness.
>>4125443Hollowwald 1.10 is coming out next week though, and surely won’t take that long to translate. I don’t think the game will be getting a 2.00 update either. Hakika hasn’t mentioned anything like that.
Hollowwald was so damn good. It's absolutely Colony-tier.
>>4125780are they marching off to their deaths?
>Hakika posting TrickalHakika, you chibifucker
Finished and married Tsue. Out of all the girls I liked her the most.Tsue>Outoku>Prim>Nazuna=Awayuki>Yuuyami>Aruko>Uula
so is Hollowald yuri or what
I've fully completed Hollowwald, but don't ask me anything because I was retarded enough to miss four whole sidequests. I've found one of them, but I have no idea where the other three are. If anyone knows where these three are, I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me.
We should start putting the dazed TL in the OP
>>4125989>Those thoughts
>>4125989based ranking, very true
>>4125989God I wish I was unconsentually raped.
>>4126379From when was this
>>4125443I don't believe any spinoff so far has gotten a 2.00, at most a 1.10
>>4126488When you gift her chocolates
>>4126379back when she was flat...
>>4126618Wdym? She was way larger than the other cutting boards on Blight.
>>4127156because she belongs to the boob army, fun fact, she and leone are the only paizuri scenes in blight, the others aretoo flat to do it so it's either teasing, sex or blowjobs for them.
>>4126618>>4127161??
>>4127156>>4127393I consider anything under G-Cup flat
For those who played thirst, I need help on finding what the wiki calls a withered desert flower. I found two gravestones and I can check it, but nothing happens. After being confused, I checked the wiki and realized I was missing an important item. I looked all over the desert where its supposed to be, but I just can't find it.
>>4127510There's a spot with 4 pillars, its right in the middle.
>>4127585Thanks, I found it.
Hakika isn't a human being for designing this last superboss in thirst.
>>4127603He’s a fan of Etrian Odyssey, he loves making bullshit postgame superbosses
>>4127850It's extremely easy to tell that he likes EO. His series is just riddled with its influence.
>>4127857Ghost Path 2 and Liberty Step also straight up have the Etrian Odyssey enemy HP bar display. The script is called this>世界樹の迷宮っぽい敵選択カーソル (Etrian Odyssey-style Battle Cursor)
>>4127859I just remembered that ghost path 2 was translated already. I should probably get to that since hakika isn't going to release another game until next year.
Jesus christ, Hakika. Calm down on the tits.
>>4127925Thrist might be the most pazuri heavy game in the series, everybody with boobage has a paizuri scene or 2
>>4127925>>4127974Hollowald follows up with 3 out of 4 wives being of the breast persuasion.
How the fuck is thirst translation (not sloppa) not done yet...
98%, trust. Six months.
>>4124733Every time i give this series another chance (the first game) i always get bored around the time they get their infinite energy stone stolen. The quest are ass too, just a bit charming but not fun at all.The game isn't that fun to play, does it get better later on or in the other games?
>>4128697Honestly, if you didn't like it so far, I don't think this is the game for you. It seems you reached the end of chapter 2 (correct me if I'm wrong, haven't played Blight in a very long time) and if you didn't get interested in the worldbuilding or the build-up for future confrontations, you are most likely not going to enjoy the rest of the game or future games in that case. If your issue is the grind I can say it will get better, although the improvements only happen on Colony, with Awake having the worst grinding requirements imo.
>>4128697Sequel blight is really rough around the edges. If you want, go play Sequel colony. That might get you interested in the series, it's a fan favorite for a reason.
>>4128697I'd agree with this anon. >>4128759 The games do get better over time but if you're not interested enough in the first game to get motivation to power through some of the less refined bits, you probably just won't like the game.
>>4128697The main game of blight is honestly one of the weaker points of the game, if not the series, while the post game story is widely considered the best part of the game.That said, it sounds like you're just not enjoying it at all.I wont tell you to give up on the game, but it doesn't sound like your impression is going to improve much later on either.
https://ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/1121/article/1989089Hollowwald 1.10 update notes. The patch isn’t out though.
>>4128697This sounds like heresy to some sequelfags but i recommend to just straight up jump to second game (awake) instead of torturing yourself trying to finish the first gameYeah you might get confused about few things but so what? I did exactly that and ended up becoming a fan of this series instead of falling asleep playing first game (in its defense its still better than most hrpgs outside of H content) and completely memoryholing this series
>>4129155It’s not really heresy to me, lots of people accidentally start with awake since it starts with an A and blight starts with a B. I also feel that awake does its job pretty well as a first game too.
>>4129165>lots of people accidentally start with awake since it starts with an A and blight starts with a Bwuh?
>>4129167It happened more back in the day when awake was the only game allowed on f95
>>4129175But then that has nothing to do with alphabetical order, it's just plain availability.
>>4128370Translator gave up after someone did trashy MTL on it. Just kidding, the guy probably stopped on his own accord after the f95 threads got nuked. Otherwise he would have made a blog or something where there could be posts about the progress of the translation. Someone new should honestly just pick it up and start translating. I mean if someone did when the guy was first time 95% done the translation would probably already be out lmao.
>>4129185Rusty said that he’d pick up thirst for a translation is qudere still isn’t done by the time he’s done with Hollowwald
>>4129188Sounds good to me. Also probably only way we're getting the translation. I have had 0 hope for qudere's "95% done trust" bullshit I've heard after the first month or so this was parroted here. I wish all the best for our new translator buddy.
>>4129155Personally I don't feel like Awake is much of an upgrade compared to Blight. It's just as experimental and thus rough. Both are still pretty good compared to what else is out there, but it's really Colony when the series truly pops off. >>4129151Seems pretty small in scope. Shouldn't shake things up too much for Rusty. >>4129185It wasn't the thread nuke, he kept giving updates on /hgg2d/ until 3 months ago. Last update he said he's proofreading and there wouldn't be any further updates until the release. Since it's taken so long since then he's gotta be either dead/injured/sick/etc or his perfectionism is making him unable to publish the TL because he hates multiple TL versions floating around (kinda failed on that front thanks to a certain impatient person). Probably the latter.
>>4129177No, no. It makes sense. nta btw.Awake is the first gameBlight is the second gameColony is the third gamedKludge is fourth.
In this case, the wimpy dick is Ino but whose wimpy pussy? Lilith? She stops mana tank before he can put it in because she's afraid she won't be able to handle it
>>4129966Lilia you mean? My vote for weakest pussy would go to her and Dita.
>>4129972Yes, Liliaquila
Hollowwald update’s coming out tomorrow, most likelyhttps://x.com/hakika_/status/2110311391190233126
>>4124740I actually think "sindeed" sounds kind of cool, but there is a Western theological term that means the exact thing: "hamartia"
How does Hakika manage the event chain for recruiting member in Liberty Step. Is there a way to unpack the game in rpgmaker and see the mechanism?
>>4130138Just slap a Game.rvproj2 in the game folder (from making a new project, then just copy it over to Liberty Step's folder) and open it with the RPGM VX Ace editor. The english versions of the VX Ace games are already decrypted, so you can peek around that way
Hollowwald update’s outhttps://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ01641149.html
Cursed mashup...
>>4130609Blessed, you mean
Nao's Too Cute. I think she's the cutest girl Hakika has drawn!
>>4130643She'll get stuck (again)
>>4130606
may a brother have some downloads?
>>4130989Fishy did it already
>>4130990found it
cool, there a new companion
>>4131004Hollowwald update spoilersUnfortunately she has no scenes. Maybe in Hollowwald 2. Thankfully, Emunal got threesome scenes finally, and Mishpatal got more scenes too.
>>4131015Forgot pic
WHERE IS THIRSTS TRANSLATION FUCK
Hollowwald v1.10 TL is ready.https://gitgud.io/dazed-translations/hollowwald
Is Hollowald's Hakika's threesome training arc?
>>4131261>posting slop when hollowwald already has a proper translation in progress and not even vaporware like thirst TLthanks for confirming you are a malicious retard
>>4131004I'm gonna assume this person is only there for 1 battle like Call was in the demo, then again I know nothing of the main game I don't even know who this is>>4131261but she seems nice, that background is way too pretty for something lewd to be happening there.
>>4131269Also going back on his word for the umpteenth time.
>>4131268I think L.Depth was that, but it does apply to Hollowwald as well.
>>4131280Kludge had it too. Also magical puppet scenes.
Is Kludge worth finishing? I gave up halfway through.
>>4130985Arigato fishy-chan
>>4131269>>4131279I did say going forward I was doing all Leaf games and updates on release. Feel free to ignore them don't mind me.>>4131275Don't get your hopes up for scenes or anything like that.
in spin off titles Hakika says the sex is actually non canon, so Asylum, L.Deph, Innocent Rules, anything lewd happening there didn't actually happen in the story, is Hollowald any different or like the others before it, you can go through the game without getting lewd if you want a "canon" run?
>>4131283Yes, it is
>>4131261I got my hopes up just to be let down as soon as I saw dazed in the link.
>>4131282I always forget that kludge had two threesome scenes, they were just unremarkable. Unfortunately.
Auris and her puppet scene was great just because it made Auris confront her lust, she's cute when she tries not to be perverted.
>>4131283it's my favorite along with the hollowwald
>>4131283The good parts of Kludge are in the postgame.
>>4131430I actually really agree with this anon. Kludge’s postgame is definitely better than the main story.
>>4131283I'm a Kludge postgame truther as well.
>>4131443bananasex
>be me>playing hollowwald>the whole thing is blatantly us being told the wrong story from the get go but whatever let's continue>meet the dragon, there's REALLY some bullshit afoul and my theory about the hollow being caused by light seems to become more true by the dialogue box>get to the village of hope>get to the basement>mfwit's time for the mandatory crimes against humanity sequel section isn't it? also did the scholars in here try to create pseudoimmortality by using the light element to mess with time or something? this and the lizard's story reeks of wena being the bad guy and the dragon keeping the entirety of the land in check because it would otherwise be a spreading disaster or something
>>4131498Just keep going
>>4131515Reaching the village of hope and seeing the messed up things that went on there is one thing, but seeing it get recontextualized with further information down the line is what really elevates it into kino in hindsight.
>>4131283Kludge ended up being my least liked game in the series. Worst cast and and overall plot imo.The people saying the post game is the best part are correct tho’.
>>4131515so what, they trafficked children to the scholars seeking immortality? are san and cor also part of the children they may have experimented on? is the fact that san and cor don't seem to age (and according to dialogue, san doesn't go to the toilet) because they were experimented on via light magic or something, so they're stopped in time like the town? are the church of wena a cult that started the whole light experiments or something since they mentioned they may have started as a shady organization? am i schizoposting? find out next episode of dragon ball z
>>4131580Just keep going!
>>4131585i am fucking trying to but the second i reached the next big story hook everyone got the new scene available markers and now i'm getting sidetracked getting molested by the entire party IT'S NOT MY FAULT>>4131576>>4131444>>4131430i think the part where idea goes "oh idahsa" and everything just clicks at once is absolutely fucking kino, especially with how cool her theme was also olivia's reverse ntr marriage
desu the main issue with kludge is that it suffers from excessive backloading and you don't really get the full picture of your journey until the postgame, whereas the other games where mostly self-contained stories with the postgame expanding on them
>ovus was experimenting with dragon bullshit and may have caused the hollow dragon to exist>the light scholars were probably experimenting with light bullshit to the degree it caused the hollowfarers and quite possibly the hollow phenomena itselfwere they doing a fucking competition to see who did the most unethical research on eternal life or what
Can you guys shut the fuck up, you're playing MTL trash, you dont get to do this! Go back to /hg2gg/
he fucking does it again i kneel
>>4131671Surprised the hell out of me when I first saw it. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about whether Hollowwald was before sequel or after sequel.
>>4131671Yep, one of the biggest OH SHIT moments in the series so far. Bravo hakika
>>4131716might be either a very distant sequel or some sort of alternate bad end timeline where we fuck up and don't save the world since a big apocalypse seems to be the overall direction the overarching storyline is heading at
I actually forgot how the hollow areas formed. I mean Arteria is dark elemental with her immortality being due to an overabundance of that. People of Ovum unsealed her from the swamp region, found out about her immortality and then did mad science experiments to reproduce that, which led to infighting and Ovum's devastation and the creation of San and Cor and their family, being basically Arteria's kids. Now, when of them dies, a grand hollow is formed for some reason, with the one who died as the lynchpin hollow. I seem to remember something about the angels hitting one area with too much light element, which mixed with the dark element of Arteria's kids, which then somehow bursts out when they die? But how do the smaller hollow areas form?
>>4131784all hollow areas are basically the places where the 63-ish failed envoys fucking imploded upon their death and turned into keystone raceless, with the hollows forming with themthe real big threat was not them but rather arteria's curse overflowing and essentially causing the end of the small pocket of the world left by that point
>>4131784All those special areas are born from a mixture of extreme light and extreme darkness which comes from all the envoys falling apart. There were over sixty of them if I recall correctly and they all ended up falling in different places. As for the angels, it was actually just a single angel who did it, and she launched an attack at a specific person. You should know who both of these were. This was the very first intersection of light and darkness and it was the start of Wena. Actually I wish I could be more specific, but my memories of the game have already grown a bit hazy.
>>4131787Ironically enough, it was her curse that ended up providing the initial hope of survival for Hollowald. If it weren't for her existence, the entire world would've turned into a void of light. At the same time, her encroaching darkness was going to lead to a different kind of destruction.
One day, light poured from the skiesand engulfed all that there was.The people startled, feared, despaired―and were destroyed along with the world.A world of scarce nature and troubled spiritsroamed by great numbers of monsters……And yet, among all that,-from Ruinswald
>>4131576I may have said that, but even so I also think Kludge was very weak due to cast and main plot. Scenes were mixed but it had some peak ones at least.
Don't know anything about Hollowald, but is the name referencing the underground world you visit in the first game/Vaeltria?
>>4132290No. Hollowwald is basically disconnected from sequel.
does hollowwald have marriage? where's the godsforsaken ring if so?
>>4132312No marriage.
>be me>doing the new 1.10 storyline>wow that story sure was cool, wonder if we'll ever get to know what happened to her>get to the post-quest dialogue>mfwoh fuck you hakika
>>4132079Kludge was weird, it really felt like some things were planned but ended up going nowhere(?) or the conclusion of some themes were just anticlimatic.We got the return of the cursed eye with Faria that ended up going nowhere, I guess it was just a nod to older games as there aren't even curses anymore so I don't mind it that much, but still. And the whole Yolnaya's kidnapped friend which was painfully obvious since the beginning that it was Kuu. Although judging from the characters' reaction it was meant to feel anticlimatic (?) Idk.Don't get me wrong, I did like the main story even though it seems most people have a different opinion about it, but it just felt that something was missing, and I can't quite explain what it is. At least some of the worldbuilding was good, which is my favourite part about Hakika's games desu.
>>4132658You see, kludge is actually the best because the unfinished feeling you get from it is a meta reference to Errasaga, which also felt unfinished. Hakika has done it again.
>>4132715Kek
>>4132658Wasn't the snowman from Colony basically a curse? I seem to remember something about Zephyr having curses too.
Nao's speech patterns are filtering me so hard, bros. I can actually understand the game assuming I read carefully but that character is a gigantic pain in the ass.
>>4132791拙者は貴公の終焉She's basically a period drama samurai.
>>4132767You might be right, although I do wish Faria got more involved with it. I have a vague memory of her saying she's never seen a curse before (which made me assume they're gone for good and I completely forgot about that Colony side quest) but I'd have to replay the whole game to confirm that. Definitely being nitpicky about it but I hope we end up seeing more of her, and we most likely will when exploring Elcehil
>>4132715This is what lorefags unironically believe.
>>4132658I played the first four games + Asylum back to back, so I was probably burnt out by the time I got to Kludge. Plotwise it felt more like the first game, lacking the mystery aspect of Colony and Asylum, so I probably also felt like it didn't have the intrigue of those games.
https://x.com/hakika_/status/2111749660113248482Hakika retweeted Vyner art today and he said this too>A character that's apparently called "banana" overseasDoes he lurk here?
>>4133297Byners!
>>4133297We've suspected he lurks the sub-par discord for a long time now. For example a week ago we were in fact talking about Vyner's nickname.
>>4133385Do japs even use discord though?
>>4133392yeah, dokata's cord is pretty cool for example
For the blowjob scenes, opinions on having the words misspelled like the girl has a dick in her mouth, or should I not try to do that and just have her talk normally?
>>4133425How is it in jap?
>>4133428Her speech is kind of halted, but that might just be her getting really into it. There's no extra sloppy talk, but I looked at the scene and went to myself, "there's no way she can talk normally with a dick in her mouth." so that raised the question. Although, this is the first such scene I've done and it's with Eusteza, so it might be different with the others.
>>4133432>there's no way she can talk normally with a dick in her mouthOP seems to do fine on a regular basis, however.
>>4133425Depends from scene to scene. I remember one of Auris’s blowjob scenes was like that, but Lestea’s weren’t. Might be worth comparing the JP to how sub-par translated it
>>4133601I looked the scenes up. Auris drops completely into hiragana and messes up some words in the JP version of Awake, but Eusteza does not in the scene I was working on. What this tells me is that at least for this scene, I should keep the text fairly normal. MT just has a bigger dong, Auris has a smaller mouth, or both.
>>4133667Yeah, that sounds good to me. Just keep an eye out for that sort of thing like Auris had
>>4133667>>4133601Auris is an amateur at blowjobs and Lestea was a prostitute, so basically she's a professional. Idk about Eusteza but if the Japanese has no signs of slurring then I'd stick to no slurring in the translations as well.

Hello guys im playing Thirst and had the credits rollso then i get into post game where I am supposed to kill 3 shadows. but the robo ice oni absolutely pushes my shit in. am I missing something? I feel there is a huge power spike and no new equipment to counter balance this. I gave the offering box enough coins to get a second orange weapon material but that thing isn't really cutting it. I leveled like 20 levels in the other postgame area where you supposedly get to the serpent. the exp is nice but was I really supposed to grind so many levels? I don't want to be overleveled for the next quests.
>>4134557IIRC the other two were the easier of the three bosses, go try and do those for better equipment. I remember you had to put fire brands on your characters to deal with the oni’s shield. Nazuna has a skill that attacks with fire 4 times, that’s really good for that fight too.
>>4134569Oh nice i didnt expect a reply so fast.Well maybe I should try the others first then. Was put off by their weird fight description and the ice dude seemed to be the least complicated. I used Nazu for the fight because i need the brand slots for defense or i die randomly. I tried the fight again and got it down to 60% which was huge but then got randomly nuked. I'm not entirely sure but maybe the super ice aoe attack is a counter move when it has the ice armor. That thing kills me.
Hakika... it's been years...I just wanna hang out with my cute girls and get milked...The dating sim... please...
>>4134596Got the ice oni the next try. The super ice aoe really was a counter. Then killed the other 2 on my 2nd try because of missing ailment immunity.
>>4134598We need to clone Hakika so he can simultaneously work on his regular games and games for pure gooning with more room for hardcore fetishes
Is there a way to check what some of the equipments do that change no stats on either status screen? The oni pearls you get in the beginning of Thirst for example.
>>4134751Select and press A. It's in every game's tutorial but people forget it.
>>4134751Hover over the item and use the A key, or whatever equivalent button on your controller. Items with colored names have effects you can only see that way
>>4134756Select or any button on my Dual Shock 4 didn't work, but A on keyboard worked.Thanks.
>>4134985I'm not sure what kind of rpgmaker Thirst uses but I think I could configure keys with F1 in the old one.
>>4134422>dragon>demonic hound>cow>moth>robotharpy is very close
>>4134988MZ
>>4134987I don't believe every button can natively be mapped to a gamepad. Keyboard or an something external like joytokey is needed for item descriptions.
Her pantsu should have been black!!

Ok, I allow you to release the thirst translation.
We’re back
>4chan died>Thirst TL *still* isn't up
>>4136000It's 99.999% done, dw about it.
>>4135408Well, it seems Hakika really did stop with the flesh scleras after all, should have expected it with the Hollowald character portraits but still... feeling a bit conflicted as really liked that part of his style.
>>4136077Yeah. I guess I don’t mind it, but it’s weird to see old girls get it when Nazuna and Uula didn’t in thirst.
>>4133432I say do it.
Anybody on the memory heinous criminals for the Hollowald v1.10 update? Is this about the time when you need the minmaxed party without any fun allowed? I'm lvl99 and got full memory guardian equipment. This feels worse than the other superboss bullshit hakika comes up with since there's still one superboss beyond that.Speaking of which, what's rusty using for the 大罪人? The dictionary one seems too wordy. Great Sinner or just capital Sinner feels better.
>ruinswald>ordowald>hollowwald...what did hakika mean by this?
>>4136651>ruined world>all the world>hollow worldla creatividad
>>4134756Took me a few days to realize, by 'select' you meant, to hover over the item and not pressing select on the controller.It's still annoying that all the major functions like, text log, text skip, flask, teleport, item description and so aren't mapped to controller buttons by default. Like you make an extremely complex game with millions of scripts and stuff and you can't take a minute to change the default button script, when the controller has so many unused buttons?Come on
Guys, I got a question, without spoilers please. In Thirst I did the whole sphere quest, as in Amira is on earth and the sphere went into space, and for the final boss in the sphere I got 20 million exp. Every single normal encounter in the sphere also gave me so much exp that it should be around 1 fight = 1 level up and the 20 million should be almost enough exp to get me to max level from lvl 1. Ive hit max level a long time ago, so I'm starting to worry, if I missed some sort of rebirth mechanic, where you get back to level 1 with enhanced stats, or if I missed a level break mechanic, where you can get past 99. Otherwise, i can't make sense of all the exp which has been been useless for a long time now. The only thing I didn't do, except all the stuff that happens after the sphere arc, is beating the super versions of the 4 robo girl parts. Got pretty much everything else up until that. I thought maybe you could rebirth at the tree, where you offer the sake with ito, but there is nothing to interact with.
>>4136741Also can someone help me to kill the second battle of the super version of Amei? I get it down to 50% then it says 'the dawn breaks' and it just uses an omega attack I can barely survive, then the next turn it uses the omega attack twice and I die.
>>4136390I currently have them as the Great Sinners of Draulm, although that's subject to change.
>>4136779Please help. I think its the only thing left to do in the game and I want to move on to the next one.
>>4136741There’s no point to exp in the expansion’s desert areas, I’ll assume the enemies give a fuckload of exp just in case someone’s not level 99 by the time they’re doing it
>>4136977Alright, so no rebirth. Got it
>>4136779Nevermind. Apparently the fight is more or less on a timer and instead of playing it super safe, I just bursted it down.
So to understand where we are thus farEra of myth game number 8 and last one still being worked onSequel Thirst being worked onHollowald next in line but has a MTL for those who can't wait anymoreThat right?
https://x.com/hakika_/status/2113558952298627487/photo/1Is he going through all main characters?
>>4137442After his threesome training Hakika should definitely use what he's learned on these two and man, it feels nostalgic in a way, we haven't seen them in so long and they're the least popular heroines and it looks like kuruha's tit fat moved to her thighs, they're almost as huge as Rabi's now my god, wouldn't it be funny if the horn on the hat is actually peaking through the hat and Kuruha has it sticking out of her head like Ichigo?also where ocould they be? I see skyscarpers and other modernized buildings in the background
>>4135408Tirma looks like she's in the world that never was about to kill some heartless, when did she get a cloak, did she get promoted?
>>4137457She’s still a silver, looks like. But I like the cloak.I have a thought about her location, but it’s a spoiler. I think it’s probably somewhere we haven’t seen yet though. Same with the pic from today >>4137442Kuruha looks great in that pic, I gotta say.
Got the third Nue shadow down. Took me way too long and got way too close in the end. This fight was also on a timer. Got the new mats to make the new shiny weapons and they all suck Dx
>>4137456We NEED a Rabi Frabi threesome scene
>>4137456I remember from a dialogue that not even Kuruha herself knows what the ornament on her hat is, which makes it even funnier.
>>4138273It's part of her lore, if you weren't aware
>>4137442kuruha's face looks too much like the angel muppet's one from hollowwald
>>4138446Awake's story is the one I remember the least, I was so turned off by the giant amount of collecting to craft gifts for everyone and the whopping 30 mana required to strengthen that I just beat Saxa, did all the events and called it a day, still the only sequel game that I haven't even completed the memory space after years. I do plan on replaying it eventually to refresh my memory though.
how dare you call them muppets
>>4137456>also where ocould they be? I see skyscarpers and other modernized buildings in the backgroundIsn't that the Outside?
https://x.com/hakika_/status/2113921447496409569Pirila!
>>4138675Oh nice hakika remembered she exists
>>4138725Kek
>>4138725Pirila > Uulaprove me wrong
Alright, i think im done with Thirst for now. Beat the 4 buffed nue shadows and i think thats it for me. Took me a whole day to beat the 4th shadow. I will come back and beat super nue eventually, but i want to jump into the next game.This is easily the best SEQUEL game. Its huge, all characters are fucking hot, except Prim, individual levels are well designed, skills are fun, the setting is the best. Character arcs are great, exploring was fun, scenes were great. Even all the side characters are cool. Its biggest strength was how it played its cards really well and does not feel like you could read the progression of gameplay and story in advance. Well done. I think this is the best JRPG ive played since Octopath 2 and even there the story and gameplay development felt very predictable. I think this will be the peak of the franchise.Ive played all the SEQUEL games over the years but i can hardly remember anything about them. Especially with the trans continental development and how it all connects. So while playing Thirst, a lot of stuff which seemed to be big story reveals, went straight over my head and i felt like Nazu the baka character. I thought Kludge was the absolute lowest point of the series and he would never recover. But Innocent Rules was already a neat little game and now he made this crazy good game. I was wrong. Well done. I hope Hollowwald doesnt disappoint.The translation was great. Good job Dazed.Nao best girl.
>>4138786>congratulating or thanking DazedHe literally didn't do any work though. He just cuck translated the game.
>>4138832Not sure what you are trying to say. Is waiting 3 years for a translation by a guy who has been saying 'any day now' for years better than casually getting an acceptable MT? Or is no translation better than MT? Or is Dazed a faggot for machine translating it? Whatever it is he made an easy patch translation for tech tards like me. The only one in the world. He even has an update exe so i dont have to search the internet for updates + he fixes stuff. There wasnt a single out of box text or insanely retarded chingchong english sentence. Even the glossary popups worked.Can't say the same about MTool.
>>4138846Speaking of the glossary, was it worth making that and keeping most of the names and terms in romaji? Normally I'm not a big fan of doing that but for the setting in Thirst it kinda feels right.
retarded eops and their retarded problems, so tiresome
uh-oh tranny melty
>>4138786You really liked Thirst that much? Storywise, I felt it was pretty good, but it was just missing content dealing with those slithering snakes in the abyss. It was too vague and didn't elaborate enough on the details there. While the boss there was an excellent cap off to the main story, the main story itself felt a bit disjointed and didn't really come together in a smooth enough manner. The post game was at least very good though and everything else, like gameplay, H scenes, and quality of life was also good. Colony is still unsurpassed in terms of story, Blight still has the best postgame, but Thirst can secure its place as the second best game in the series overall. You should go check out Hollowwald though. Hakika truly outdid himself there.
>>4138923i didnt mind the story. like I said I'm waaay out of the loop regarding any story details, as in i didnt know if stuff was a reference, or if im missing something, so i took much of what's happening in true nazu fashion and just rolled with it.the whole esthetic of the game hooked me. usually i like 1 or 2 girls in the sequel games but here almost everyone was a winner. i really love sequel again. i'm probably gonna replay them all after hollowwald and try to make more sense of the whole thing.while downloading hollowwald I read the jap Thirst wiki and apparently there was a hidden super boss I was missing. so hidden that it didn't even have a quest entry. i always wanted something like this in these games. i got filtered.anyway i started hollowwald and just got past the first major event in the cellar and i'm hooked.great start.
>>4138832could be just one of his discord bootlickers, he did link this thread on his server in the past
>releasing a more than serviceable machine translation is ... LE BAD!Get real you fucking faggot retard
https://x.com/hakika_/status/2114282783808106977New girl. Thoughts?
>>4139648a girl with thin hips and thighs, hakika's changed,man but I'd love for him to get his own Prominstien, she's got fat boobs too, i'm surprised she doesn't have a cig in her mouth.
>>4139648I'm not feeling it
>>4139648Does that imply he moved on and there will be no Hollowwald 2.0?
>>4139666I doubt there'll be one immediately
>>4138734This is objective truth, though? She's cute and I like her scenes. Unfortunately, I have issues with girls with cripplingly low self esteem, otherwise she'd be my favorite from that game
>>4139673I mean historically, did he post new stuff while still working on old stuff, in the past?To me, who has no clue, it seems like he moved on.
>he takes pride in letting another man fuck with his beloved work of art and convey his twisted approximated thoughts to him
>>4139666Too early to say, I think she could be a Hollowwald character.
>>4139698Didn't even think of that. I doubt it, but its still a possibility.
>>4139648>thin hips and thighsBASEDFat bitches are sex offenders. I see them and I'm sexually offended.
>>4139648another smelly nerd that isn't chemica...
So, how's San in bed compared to previous leads like the lead of L.Delph, I guess we'll call him Will's consciousness? Ino and Mana Tank? Mana tank has some scenes where he'll be the dominate one where as Ino tends to lose even when he's the one moving
>That reveal in Hollowwald's 1.10 updateShit man that twist gave me goosebumps.
>>4139978>dominate
>>4132079Her scenes are so good that I always forget they're from Kludge.
>>4140017Elaborate please, I don't mind spoilers
>>4140189The new character introduced, Thora, was revealed to be the past of the great sage of Ovum who is the secret boss of the postgame. She's also the one who basically kickstarted the events of the entire story out of an obsession for life that went wrong.
>>4139648>>4139666Hakika said today she’s a former Sage Group memberhttps://x.com/hakika_/status/2114634353468911761
>>4140256It took me a moment to connect the dots and think back what pioneers I actually encountered since I had finished it months ago. I get why hakika did Fiyal as the update instead locked swamp part, but the story (and probably difficulty, wouldn't know about it being fully leveled and geared) would flow better if you went from the Great Sinners (first time) to Fiyal to the locked swamp part. The devil calling the blizzard is probably a variant of Versa. Also regarding superbosses: I still haven't beaten memory Thora. Need to somehow get Emnal's regen on all party members before getting her below 25% hp so passive heal can cover the AoE while emnal does party or solo guards. And hope there's no turn limit death before like turn 25.
>>4140338Ahah, the timer is 22 turns, so I had to swivel to more aggressive tactics. You really need to have WiiU survive by the skin of her teeth through the AoEs Thora throws at you. And now I have to fight the "ideal" Student Swordswoman who casually throws out red debuffs doing 3.5k/turn, a +500% damage received red debuff and even if you troll your way out of that by undoing the provoke the next turn is a 10k damage AoE AIEEE SAVE ME NIGGERMAN.
>>4140080Kludge is weird with scenes. Overall pretty weak but has a couple of absolute goated ones.
>>4139666Why were you even expecting a HW 2.0 in the first place?
>>4140359Nta but a bunch of JP players asked hakika if he was going to make a full series from Hollowwald, and he said was considering it. I’d imagine now we’re getting the next Sequel game, but after that, we could get Hollowwald 2.
>>4140359I just started Hollowwald and was considering putting it on hold if a 2.0 might drop. I don't like drip feeding. These updates are cool but waiting a year for an update when you are completely out kinda sucks.
>>4140427I wouldn’t worry about that anymore. We’ll probably keep getting new concept art for the next SEQUEL game now.
>>4140469Good. I'm presumably pretty far in. Would be bad if I had to drop it now.
>>4140469It would prob be worth the wait. I consider Thirst to be pretty fucking perfect. Wouldn't have the same feeling if I had to revisit it for the big update.
>>4140489To each their own. Me personally, I enjoyed returning to thirst for the 2.0 update since it was sizeable enough for me to play for a few days.
Huh. Didn't expect them at all.
>>4140586You can see them around in different spots too
>>4140609Cute. I'll keep a lookout then.
>>4125140L E T ' S KISSING!!!!
Is there any working TL of Thirst?
>>4124733I know little about this game (and the SEQUEL games in general), but why is Devola and Popola from Nier part of it now?
>>4141000CheckedYes Dazed made a good one
>>4141012Hakika is a Nier fan
It's almost November but I'm still here waiting.
Being honest, if thirst's tl isn't done by the start of november I'm just gonna use the dazed tl.Even vitamin quest 2's tl got released.At some point the promise of a better tl stops being an incentive to wait when the estimated wait time is essentially and seemingly forever.
>>4141272Personally, I’ll just wait for either Rusty orqudere. An anon a while back already said it was fine to play Hollowwald without playing thirst beforehand
>>4141128Need to check, but I'm assuming it's in a previous OP or anchor?
>>4141287Nah, people really hate Dazed here for some reason.You get it here.https://git.dazedtl.dev/dazed-translations/sequel-thirstAnd the game from Google > sequelgod
>>4141309>for some reason
>>4141323It's not like he isn't a completely insufferable dipshit every time he shows up or anything.
>>4141333He literally has been samefagging here and making loss ass AI generated paragraph responses to people for shitting on him. Dude's a tool.
some fans don't take pushback very well. bunch of tsunderes really, I'm sure they'll warm up eventually
>>4141309Because it's all MTL slop. We already waited 2 years for it, might as well wait for Rusty.
>>4141404Specifically it being an unedited slop by a man that doesn't even speak nip is what puts me off from it
>>4141417What do you mean unedited? There are tons of edits you can view in the repo. Didn't even notice any real mistakes in my playthrough.
>>4141417The incessant samefagging and pathetic "I'm just a neutral poster who is totally not him" schtick probably doesn't help either.
Dazed really raped your brains for good.
>>4141417It's "edited' by another AI model...No I'm not even joking, he literally said that
>>4141433>Didn't even notice any real mistakes in my playthrough.Unless you can read moon and compare it directly to the original script this is meaningless with AI translation. It's smart enough to ensure it doesn't say anything that's immediately retarded sounding, it's what makes it especially insidious compared to older MTLs. It makes sure it's all grammatically correct so you won't ever question it but that doesn't necessarily mean it's accurate.
>>4141535you can say the same thing about human translators though, happens all the time. What's the difference between the AI getting it wrong and a person? if something like that matters that much to you you're better off just learning the language
>>4141539I agree. People ideally should just learn the language. I'm in the process of doing it myself, but ignoring that, at least with a human translator you have an actual person going over each part of the script, comparing both versions, and ideally, consulting other people for their interpretations and assistance as they go through; as well as just the fact that there are just certain nuances to context in language (especially in anything remotely prose adjacent) that a machine simply does not have the capacity to understand at the current level the technology is at. This is all exasperated when the person using the AI itself doesn't know the language it's translating from and it thus literally incapable of checking it himself at ALL. The fact that he first released his Hollowwald translation the very same day the game came out, when you can't even PLAY the average hakika game that fast doesn't speak well of his quality standards on top of that. It's simply not comparable to the unfortunate but also undeniable reality that sometimes humans might make mistakes here and there in translation. Yeah, they both have their issues, but it's not the same.
>>4141535>>4141544The demo put out by qudere for thirst has mistakes too. The opening scene has lines where the translation is just plain wrong in the demo whereas its fine in the mtl so I think no matter what that kind of stuff is going to happen. Dazed usually has multiple people playthrough the games he translates and makes edits based on their feedback for a long time after release. I do agree its never going to be as good as someone who knows the language going through and full editing each line though.
MTL hater trannies in shambles
>>4141539Real translator >>> AI > localizator
Read original runes>quality: 100%>takes 4 years2026 Tranny Translator>quality: 80%>takes 1 to 3 yearsMTL>quality: 75%>takes a day
>>4141323>>4141333>>4141338So other than his personality, how is he as a TL?
As someone who believes that AI can be a useful tool in the right circumstances, I believe that all the MTL dickriders should be executed. At least the Innocent Rules guy bothered went through and did a lot of quality control, Dazed couldn't even do that.
>>4141593That hits the nail on the head. Shit's just gonna get better too. Give it five more years and there won't be much reason not to use ai.That being said i only beat Awake a few months ago. It'll be a long time before i get to Thirst anyways. So for now i'm willing to wait because i've probably got a good year+ before i even get to it. Surely the translation will be done by this time next year.
>>4141593>takes 4 yearsit takes like 6 months if you're not clinically retarded and can spare 1-2h a day learning
If you don't do it in 3, you are basically a disabled toddler.
>>4141636>Give it five more yearsI'd give it one.AI models are advancing at a pace that the average person not paying attention can even imagine and things people thought would take five or so years for AI to do decently are already at the turning point.Next year is going to be wild cause white collar jobs are fucking done.
smells like /v/ in here
>>4141815You cultists have been saying "next year for sure" since LLM were inventedGet a grip
>>4141616The general consensus is that it's technically alright but utterly soulless and loses all of the character the games were so good for. Kind of what you'd expect from AI translation.Also this shithead said he knows he's not welcome around here but stays to teach us a lesson, if you want to try the TL you can easily find it on F95 or from all the fucking links him and his fagots always plaster all over the threads but please don't enable this retard and his ego trip any further, it was a nice comfy place until him and his discord faggots started splitting it up.
https://x.com/hakika_/status/2115370180125786386Cute
>>4142037https://x.com/hakika_/status/2115412436211966023Two monster girls in one day, whoa
I really don't want to support mtls over real translations, but those who say that these ai mtls we have for hollowwald and thirst lack effort and don't properly convey characterization are just wrong. There are better ways to disagree with something other than lying or ignorantly spreading misinformation. There are just two main problems: mtl is a gateway to laziness and it invites annoying faggots to shit up threads or it reveals people who were already a part of the thread as annoying faggots who start shitting up our comfy threads. IR was mtl'd, but then it got heavily edited into something properly understandable. It's the exact same quality of what we have right now. If you don't want to read what's currently here, then just patiently wait like you have been waiting. If you can't wait, then just go ahead and play it. There's nothing wrong with that. If you don't like something, don't act like a nigger over it. If you like something, don't act like a nigger over it. It's hard to find comfy threads these days, so I don't want these ones turning into a cesspool over something this minor.
>>4142220>mtl is a gateway to laziness and it invites annoying faggots to shit up threadsYes and that's why mtl was generally shunned around these parts and why we're pissed someone is trying to shove it in here. What's even the point of your post.
its the ai antis who keep shitting up the thread because they can't just stfu about it. case in point the faggot above me.
It's not about being against AI it's about bastardizing a game that deserves better than that. Amei, Nao, and Awayuki all come across poorly through the MTL Thirst because of it. They're dialogue is very stiff throughout which is disappointing because they are all well written and deserve to have received better translations. Awayuki's speech style is archaic and completely lost in the MTL by making it a literal 1:1 translation that removes her particular accent. Nao especially was done dirty as another here has pointed out since her speech patterns are more unusual too.
>>4142244This. I just came here to post my update on Thirst and anon got triggered by me thanking Dazed for the translation and posted a retarded cuck jak image in response. Then i asked him what the problem was and he went on to move his goalpost 3 times, only to get logically blown the fuck out and then try to take the moral highground, while having no clue what the fuck he is talking about.MTLs only have a shitty stigma, because of the early word-for-word translation, where you constantly ask yourself what the fuck was just said. We are WAY past that.I was happy I got a translation after years of waiting and I was grateful for that. But then you retards started pointing fingers and spouting baseless nonsense. You want to wait for a real translation? Go for it. But don't be a faggot about it.
>>4142270>he went on to move his goalpost 3 timesYou mean this post? >>4138832I literally did not post beyond that but you sure are free to have your schizo delusions about whatever conversation or argument was made up in your head.
>>4142276I really wish you could understand how fucking retarded you are.
>>4142269then go tell dazed to fix it or don't and move on instead of replying with retarded bait to anons sharing their thoughts on the game
>>4142238It's Dazed samefagging
Can we just chill, it’s almost Friday too
>everyone that disagrees with me is the same personSchizo level: MAX
Holy tranny melty
>>4141815I really can't be certain a year is enough time. Especially for it to perfectly translate tone, keep lore terms consistent across games etc. But it will get there, probably by 2030.>Next year is going to be wild cause white collar jobs are fucking done.Yeah that's got me freaked out. We are just not going to have enough work for everyone.Either way for the time being, it can be a useful tool if you go over everything and edit it after. Bulk translating and then dumping it on the net works for mid range slop that'd never get translated otherwise, but i wouldn't use it for any series i actually care about. Of course i'm assuming we'll eventually get that translation. I got into this series a bit over a year ago and i remember seeing Thirst was "almost done" then too.
>>4142319All work and no real TL makes anon go crazy.
>>4142535Crazy? I was crazy once.
>>4142009So there's no good translation of Thirst? Just MTLs?MT... empty.. empty L's.
you guys are gonna have to grow up like the MGQ fandom did and accept the MTL if you ever wanna play, Subpar is GONE! you should be thankful you still have fishy-chan at least.
>grow up like the MGQ fandom
>>4139906
Does anybody know where the "Deed Of Life" boss is? I thought it would be in the pit under Ovum, but I haven't seen it yet. Admittedly, with the darkness, I could have walked past it. I got the one in the chapel yesterday.
>>4142833Deed? 命の業? More like karma.Anyway, From the Dark Clearing in Hollow's Mouth there's a hole in the wall next to it. It's in the northern part of that map.
>>4142841Ah, the mentions of the crimson sea had me looking at those crystals - but never in the right place. Thank you.
In HollowwaldHow are you supposed to fight the 3rd sinner, without skipping the initial Fear affliction with bind and then trying to burst him down before the next fear affliction round?I cant survive the next round without bind. If the fear removal special command had priority I prob could do it, but it doesn't and it has a read border so there is no other way to survive it.
Alright I finished Hollowwald.Finished everything but the last four 1.10 battles. I didn't like the game. It's not bad but coming from Thirst it's just a massive downgrade. First of all I don't like playing a sissy male. The gloomy stuff was ok. I think Asylum did it better though. I didn't like the characters and most of their scenes were sissy stuff so also not for me.Best girl is Vera. Best character design aswell except for her stupidly large tiddies. Still pissed that you can't play as her.The open 'world aspect' got me excited in the beginning. But it wasn't nearly as open as I wanted it to be and pretty on-rails in the end. 5 characters is way too few. I was hoping for literally anyone else to join but it didn't happen. Dont know if that was foreshadowed in another game so the number couldn't be changed but that was a massive downer. The items and skills weren't really fun in this one. I got a rare drop from Murder Maiden which was cool and made me check the drops from other enemies. Unfortunately its literally the only rare equipment drop in the game. In Hollowwald in most endgame battles you are way slower than your enemies which isn't fixable so you constantly battle from behind which basically means you have to know the exact turn order of enemies. I get the idea but I didn't like it.The 1.10 stuff was super lazy. You have a room and can rebattle stronger versions of bosses. Then you get to another room with other bosses you can rebattle. Then you get to another room with other bosses you can rebattle. The story setup is minimal and the area boring. Storywise it's a nice little addition, but that's it.I'm pretty sure there won't be a 2.0There is one thing I haven't tried and that's NG+. The angel said there might be stuff that changed, but it might aswell have been a lore explanation for going back in time. I do a quick check and see if stuff actually changed and then I'm done.Hope the next game will be better.
>>4142948That would be the re-fight or the memory battle, right? Since the quest version doesn't do the massive 2nd turn AoE from what I remember. I found I needed to bind for his first use and then use Krim's mega debuff for the second one, and then kill him before you get a third one. Also mind that Emnal and Krim are slowpokes anyway, and if you aren't using Krim for damage you don't need to remove their fear.
>>4143152You didn't like Eusteza's scenes at the very least?
>>4143262She actually had my fav scene along with that one surprise sex angel scene
We're going to Elcehil!https://x.com/hakika_/status/2116096018341302553
>>4143475That means seeing Faria, Nyx and Caith again maybe Kaamos too
>>4143475Holy fuark!
>>4143475HOLY LEGSIts like Hakika made a 2m tall woman from the waist down, then added a small woman on top. Excited to see nyx again too
>>4143475LOG LEGS
Can anyone summarize the story from all sequel games so far? Is there an overarching plot or is it just lets go to adventure here and let's go to adventure there?
>>4143477Kaamos returning would be absolutely kino
>>4143475What do we think of character not being lolis anymore?
>>4143706Mana Tank (you) are a mystery man capable of producing large quantities of mana (semen) in a world where both men and mana are dying out. Without mana everything dies. Each region is dealing with its own problems and mana shortages but you are just along for the adventure (and sex). Current major arc involves a world ending calamity that manifests every few centuries that wipes out the majority of the population and a mysterious God that has her own currently unknown overarching plans for the future with all of your actions and adventures having been either predicted, tracked, or intended as part of her plan. It has been implied that Mana Tank (or another individual with similar mana qualities) was created for some purpose or use.
>Qudere reached the proofreading stage. He said his next update will be the beta release. Nobody knows when that will be though>posted 3 month agoGuys, I think I'm gonna download the MTL now. I'm sick of waiting for something that might possibly not even exist.
>>4143824Thanks anon!has that mysterious God been in any game so far? i kinda forgot. there have been so many different godlike entities.
>>4143830Yes, she's a God that predates the current era.
>>4143852What game was that? Colony?!
>>4143827>IIRC it's like 97% done and if we're lucky enough is should release this may>posted 6 month agoI actually forgot how bad the situation is. Are we sure that qudere is alive or has ever actually worked on it? This is absurd.
>>4143858Kludge
>>4143866Thanks loremeister anon. I'll start a replay of all the games later tonight and take some notes so my scatterbrain won't miss stuff.
>>4143805It’s really not surprising to see them aged up at this point. We’re all old now, including hakika, and these threads have been around for 6 years now too.
>>4143477Caith is so freaking sexy. I've been wanting to see her more for years.But knowing hakika, if we get any h-scenes for her, they'll probably be some cringe fetish.
>>4143475Wait a sec, I don't see anything in that post about Elcehil. Was it in the story of Hollowwald where Rabi goes to Elcehil?
>>4143852Im confused, are you talking about Versa? or are you talking about someone else? I don't remember much from playing Kuldge.
>>4143866I still don't understand the lore of that game. It's been over a year since I played it but still.Dita is a Provisional Saint who's meant to pilot the Ark and destroy the world, but there was that room with several broken tanks with illegible text (Was that in the Ark? I'm looking around and can't find it) which listed Dita, Kuu, and I think MT? They were engineered by the researcher who created Alzhett among others things, or am I mixing things up?Why does it seem like there's always no less than 2 potential apocalypses in Ordowald at any given moment? And what was the kludge in Kludge? I can't remember if MT and the gang had to hack Vastas or find some workaround, or if it was the hack/workaround that was behind the central conflict. Does anyone make lore videos about these games?Also holy shit I can't believe it took me so long to notice this, but Kuu's name is Russian. Kuuem=Кyём, 1st person plural of the verb Кoвaть/Kovat' (to forge) meaning "We forge". Now I'm seeing it everywhere.Like the Peshtani Wastes always sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. The two ideas I have are пeшкoм/peshkom meaning "To walk on foot" and пeшкa/peshka meaning "Pawn" in chess.Alzhett is a really interesting one. It could correspond to AЛЖИP/ALZHIR which is the name of an infamous GULAG camp. It's an abbreviation of "Aкмoлинcкий Лaгepь Жён Измeнникoв Poдины" meaning, "Akmolinsk Camp for Wives of Traitors to the Motherland". I can't remember enough about Alzhett lore to know if there are any connections there, but it piqued my interest to learn that it was a camp for women.
>>4143904The God Idea
>>4143928Ordowald is the result of an idiot goddess smushing together many worlds with their own world-ending calamities/madmen. So instead of one every once a while, you now have trouble all the time. Little wonder Tahati said fuck that noise.
>>4143827Understandable, but at least know that RustyCradle (who's proven to be a fast TL with several EoM games out) has said that they're gonna pick up Thirst by the time that HOLLOWWALD TL is fninished, if qudere's TL still isn't out yet by then.I'll be patiently waiting for either qudere or rusty. Only if all hope seems lost would I even consider playing low effort MTL slop.
>>4143998thank god for rustycradle
>>4143998Does RC have qudere's 97% progress version though or he'll start from scratch?
>>4143873Get in the line, I have been waiting for a decent Faltoga scene for such a long time. It's probably never happening but I refuse to give up just yet.
>>4144001Unfortunately no. All we have from qudere is that translated demo from two years ago.>>4143875See thirst's demo
>>4143805>>4143871I don't think Rabi was ever intended to be a loli nor do I think she's intended to be aged up by more than a year here. The text has always implied that Rabi is what we in English call a shortstack, one that happens to lack tits. Similar to (canonically accurate) imp Midna. Rabi resembling a loli in Blight is more a consequence of Hakika's chibi-esque artstyle back then than a conscious design decision. It's just how almost all of his small chested characters have looked for the early games.
>>4143875Rabi going to Elcehil has been foreshadowed a ton. Nyx is apparently with her according to Uula and the recent journey art also shows that. Think there's a decent chance Nyx will also return as a party member. Other possibilities are Lestea and Faria. And we'll maybe (hopefully) finally get Caith as a proper party member.
>>4144006Why would he draw such an erotic Faltoga and never have any scenes planned?
>>4144006I believe in Faltoga being the main heroine of the last SEQUEL game (or at least of the current arc, if we get more after).
It's been a very long time since I've played so forgive me if this question sounds stupid but have we ever heard of Cocooned Land? Out of all the continents that wasn't explored yet, it seems this is the one without any info.Zephyr is where spirits live, like that lord of star from innocent rules, Wen Scala is still mysterious but we heard a bit of it from Lestea, and Elcehil has the guild, which already sets up a lot for a future game. But I don't remember a single thing from Cocooned Land.
>>4144088Cocooned Land = Innocent Rules
>>4144092How? I thought IR took place in Tahati's little universe.
>>4144092You have to be shitting me, I don't remember it being mentioned at all, I guess my brain really is starting to fail.
>>4144112
Did you had a nice friday?
>>4144114I still need to play the original games, but I think Idea is the one who created Ordowald?What does this dialogue mean though?Is the robit saying that the Calamity, the cosmos in the caccoon, and Idea are all forces that manipulated and gave power to something?And with the last line, are the "Transcendent being" another force on the list, or is that a different thought?I love the writing in these games, but there are so many times I can't make heads or tails out of what's going on behind the scenes.
>>4144126I was scared for most of the day that I was going to get fired and possibly heavily fined and also jailed, but it turned out that I hadn't made any violations. I'm still a bit nervous though.
>>4144148What the fuck did you do
>>4144152I work in the mental health field and have a license for gaining clinical hours. It's not a real license though, so I do the same work as people straight out of grad school.Anyway, I didn't renew my "license" in 2024 and thought that I'd been practicing without a license for 2 years. While that's technically true, it doesn't change anything other than the fact that I'll probably have to dispute and appeal the last two years worth of hours.I'd actually done the same work for a year before I even took the exam to get the license, and there was never a problem per state code. But I had forgotten about that and was sure that I'd be terminated, sued, fined, etc. etc.In the end, I just filled out an reinstatement application. I'm probably gonna have to work longer to get my hourly requirement.
>>4144144Ranie is the absolute idiot that connected a bunch of real worlds together and also smashed in the Liberty Step realm, which was a tremendously bad plan because things like Idea got to manifest in Ordowald's reality.The wished-for calamity could refer to Versa since the world may be hoping for an Era of Darkness to reinvigorate it (since Hollowwald states that Dark is full of life and Light brings stagnation, and after Rifar kills the previous Sin of the Era the achievement is named Era of Light), or it could be Calamity-Malice (appears in the bad/extended noncanon ending of Asylum but seems to get time-reversed out of existence) since Malice was a being the villagers of a particular town wished for.The transcendent beings may refer to Saxa and the other two like her, or that could mean something else.
>>4144175Saxa is the superior being.
I wonder if I should do all the endgame content for Kludge and IR before starting Thirst. I could never beat Versa in Kludge, and I can't remember what I was even doing in IR when I stopped.
>>4143824It can be easy to forget that so long ago ManaMan was just found lying around in an abandoned laboratory for no discernible reason.
Do you think eventually hakika will make a character whose first scene with mana tank is being rape corrected then every other scene is her turning the tables on him until the final scene where they both are trying to out rape the other one only to end up a panting pleasure spent mess? Don't say Mana tank doesn't have it in him, he raped Rabi and Uula in a lust before, granted he never did that again to any other girls but still.
>>4124733are those the twins from Nier?
>>4144126Yea I picked up a real hot onehttps://x.com/hakika_/status/2116457739627172097/photo/1
>>4144616Holy fuck. He’s back
>>4144175Yuris is one of the other two, mother of all life
>>4144616This might have the biggest returning cast members yet Shiela might be here,too she was interested in coming here as well when they talked. I wonder if Yanie came too since she's become attached to Shiela ever since the rape correction, the question is, is Mana tank here? he shouldn't be, the ending of Thirst kinda has him tied up with another obligation.
>>4144616Damn Clar is looking great
>>4144616FAG ALERT
>>4144616from silly femboy to serious and hardworking femMAN
>>4144630Tbh I hope that the cast size remains a bit limited because I really want 5x2 scenes per party member (before patches). >>4144692Clar was always a bit more serious than the rest you know. He doesn't try to rape you when he finds you alone in the wild and he's quite a book reading nerd.
>>4144630That makes me nervous. Hakika seems to struggle more with the large cast in a Sequel-size game as seen in Awake and Kludge. If the game has a big cast, I hope it has a longer playtime to make the best of them.
>>4144750Yea a bigger cast like Awake had needs to be a substantially bigger game. Like the base game would have to be the size of thirst + patches.But if he's bringing back Rabi, Clar and potentially more then the expectations are gonna be high, so a very big game is very much warranted.
>>4144616Oh my god, finally. That secretary look is making me absolutely feral too and don't think I didn't notice how huge his ass looks in that pencil skirt Hakika. Christ just imagine getting into an elevator with him and he teases you by pressing that fat ass right up against you so you find a quiet place to feed him as much pent up mana as you can flipping his skirt up to reveal his garters connect to what is effectively a lacy lingerie jock strap that's barely containing his bulging cock and balls with his wet and hungry asspussy fully exposed for you. Aaaaaaaah I want to fuck him so bad!
>>4144616Oh my fucking GOODNESS
I hope we get threesomes in the next SEQUEL and I hope one of them is mmf. Gotta show Rabi what gay sex looks like.
>>4144618I was losing hope we would ever see him again, nice to see a redesign too
>>4145140Same here. I think he’s the least popular trap so far. He still has a dedicated fanbase though, like he scored #24 on one of the popularity polls if I remember right
>>4145236Its funny, I don't like femboys in general but out of all the sequel traps he's always been my favorite. Probably because he's a really chill guy with interesting hobbies.
>>4145249All the traps in this series are likeable because they offer more than their looks. They're great characters.
>>4145249I like them as characters, but I don't watch their h-scenes. A Nyx/Clar scene would be really cute though.
The next SEQUEL game will not have any H...I wish I was trolling...https://ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/1121/article/2009932
