I am confused by many things here, but mostly...
(a) Still not sure exactly how this differs from the original Goblin Burrow game
(b) Mostly confused by the sub-title "I'll Borne" which... is a contraction. "I Will Borne" or (future tense) then (past tense). Are we sure this isn't supposed to be Ill and not I'll because Ill (or sick/bad) makes much more sense for a game about breeding evil monsters than "I will/I shall" "already be given birth to".
Then again, this is Japan, so maybe that is a sentence that makes more sense in the original language.
The dlsite page makes it clear that the official title chosen by the creator of the game is "I'll borne". No idea why. Clearly, peperoncino doesn't really know English. At least, I don't think they do, because the title makes zero sense.Is it supposed to be "ill borne" instead of "I will Borne"?
As for what's different... well... more girls than the previous game and all of its DLCs, for one. Changes to combat balance. Changes to the skills, in the sense that goblins now can only have a single Active skill, rather than two. The addition of passive skills that have a lower rate of inheritance. A complete overhaul of the Training system into the "ritual" system that has overall better bonuses but which can be much more annoying to use in other ways. Changes to the breeding system that make it more annoying in some aspects and more fun in others...
Overall though, it's still mostly the same game, and you can still get away with a lot if you have Shamans with fuck-huge Magic stat and Thunderhawk.
The interesting bit is that you can register a save from the original game, and load it up into this one. It keeps just the goblins, and assigns them the first skill out of the two you had active on them, but it lets you start with an OP Burrow if that's what you feel like doing.
Either way, in my case, I'll be waiting for however many years it takes for the translation to be polished out of poetry for most of the game. The previous game only has a small number of characters that are still poetry, and I expect this one to be just as popular in the long run, so I'm prepared to wait. Maybe boot up the old one now and then and build up the uber goblins even more so I can just one-shot most things when the time comes.
