With bombs being 100,000 valis each I really hope we can tweak that so it's not aggressive. It would be a shame if one lone goblin appears and the party member pulls out the big bucks for an overkill
It's adorable until you realize after 10 times you wasted a 1,000,000 on 10 little goblins and they didn't even take you out to dinner before they fucked your wallet.
In the video it does not say "miss", the ones missing are the goblins. Liliruca skips her turn correctly to avoid monsters' aggro, but yeah, I will try to make her more useful in future updates by having a small "action" menu where you can issue a request to your party members such as "heal me!" or "throw a mana potion at me!"Usually when her turn comes up it says "Miss" then moves on. It doesn't seem like she does anything for her turn. I never actually got to see how she handles low hp since low hp isn't a thing for me
Just seems like at camp I should have the option to ask her for stuff and she would haggle the price with me. Maybe an in dungeon merchant is a bit much still it would increase her usefulness.
I'm not sure who would suggest blowing themselves up
Here is a capture of how a typical fight on the 9th floor plays out
I think I may know what concerns you with Demeter (you can just DM me if you do not want to spoil everybody else), however I do not shy away from making changes when there is a good reason for me to do so... Her "ara, ara" vibes were too strong for me.
I thought of having a little menu with speak options such as "Heal me!", but those options would be fulfilled in a smart way... Rather than using a random health potion, during the companion's turn they will check your inventory, the difference of your maximum/current hp and then choose the appropriate potion.With bombs being 100,000 valis each I really hope we can tweak that so it's not aggressive.

It uses the light novel as the main reference, not the anime.
1 more in the recent releases (lap pillow), but her route truly begins once you train with her later on in the story.
Dungeons are not long, they are in fact quite compact and to make sure of that, they are done manually tile by tile, no procedural generation, as such the placement of the rocks and other decals is actually unique (the structure of the wall is not though, there is still some variety and should not be noticeable right away).
I already answered to this, but speaking of alive... Since I have mentioned the companions, I should also mention the banter system which is available at the rest points in the dungeon.
This is blatantly false, it takes only a few different choices at the beginning to see the story branch differently when compared to the source material.
All of this is a pretty fair point.
It actually is.
can you choose class that you play? Is it hard, easy or normal.
There are no hardcoded classes, the player starts out as a rogue-like character like in the source material, but you can train him differently through your actions.
How about making her cheer you on when she has nothing to do?
I'm not sure how I feel about them ignoring my commands. There were plenty of times when I was fighting bosses in other games when I would be at full health and tell my party to use Elixirs as the blow I knew was coming was going to be painful and knowing the parties reaction time they would heal after the fact. Perhaps instead of rough ai they go with "This seems wasteful but it's your money... Greater Potion!"
It's not that the dungeons aren't pretty but they do lack fauna to go along with the flora. Early levels are a good example as you would run into other Adventurers which would interact with the player, maybe sell them goods or info, have a cute little scene, antagonize the player, ect. There is a reason old school games had random battles but newer games switched to more showing the enemies on the map. When nothing is moving on the map it feels lifeless even if a lot of time and effort when into the zen garden, making sure each rock is in the right place, the secret passageways lead to interesting things. This is also why at dead ends other devs place chest, ambushes, and such as if the player makes it to a point that they see just a dead end they feel cheated.
4 tends to be the tapping spiral which really makes it feel larger. I miss the cartographer though having an option to sell the player's maps would give more reason to explore. Little interactions might not seem like much but overall they breath life into the dungeon. Coming across other Adventurers having sex in the dungeon would add a bit of surprise
Some of the darker parts of the lore was monster girls, slave trade, shady underworld black markets, etc. A crafting system would also make the player pay more attention to what monsters drop as even though you have them drop unique things if it's just converted to money then the player is only going to see it converted to money.Quest do help to some extent as long as they aren't a super rare critter that takes an hour to find because they player can't visibly see them on the map.
The dungeon design in itself is pretty. The controls remind me of the snes mystical ninja maze game
The Golden Egg would be overkill unless you added something like pimp out the Hestia manor. New windows, silky soft beds, oh I could see the downward money sink that could bring
I can't image how many hours I've wasted once the option to redecorate comes along in games.Pretty eyecandy
From your previous game interaction with the girls is more your forte but at least you don't have Bell rescuing girls from goblin gang bangs Awesome! I like seeing the interactions and feel like I wasted a ration when there aren't none.
In OverlordH you could change which girl you initially explored with and see fun things. Perhaps it's something like Liliruca becomes your party member and they would like to see their waifu be dragged along down the dungeon with them. Something about that last bit sounds kinky but lets roll with it.
Letting the player buy equipment would help them get off the beaten path. So far Bell is a knife wielder because he couldn't afford better which is odd if the player could afford better.
Well that's actually really funny, just earlier today I was thinking of adding bubble dialogue boxes to the tokens in the battle system (I am in the process of overhauling it atm), while I was not thinking those exact sentences, it is definitely something that can and will be added.
They would take that decision on their turn, so if the boss is between your turn and Liliruca's, then she would heal you.I'm not sure how I feel about them ignoring my commands. There were plenty of times when I was fighting bosses in other games when I would be at full health and tell my party to use Elixirs as the blow I knew was coming was going to be painful and knowing the parties reaction time they would heal after the fact. Perhaps instead of rough ai they go with "This seems wasteful but it's your money... Greater Potion!"
Perhaps if they were smarter sure but when I ask the party to do things I expect them to follow my orders like the tyrannical tyrant that I am.
Part of me likes that you over think things but other times I wonder if this is how skynet gets built
You can still meet adventurers in the deeper floors, but it is not something that is meant to happen very often... Most adventurers stick to their own groups, especially once the encounter rate increases.
At some point Bell will be able to heard milion of valis easily, so the golden egg becomes less of a big deal... The monster is rare and would surely escape from newbies before they had the chance to hit it.The Golden Egg would be overkill unless you added something like pimp out the Hestia manor.

Hestia does gift a much better knife but it would be fun to have the other girls gift Bell things as their relationship improves.
Poking fun at the lore is fun. Keep up the good work Winterfire
Liliruca lap pillow when?
Over thinking it
He says it is worthless because the blade is alive only when a member of Hestia familia/Bell is using it (Can't remember which).Over thinking it
Not many know the value of that knife as an appraiser told Liliruca it was worthless. At least that happen in the anime which it's fun to watch if you haven't.
Liliruca gifts Bell a sword in episode 6 of the anime sighting that a knife doesn't have the distance to handle larger enemies and convinces him of that. Real word insight of the effectiveness of different weapons and ranges.
Welf is also known to craft weapons and armor from monster loot.
Magic Swords are considered op by the masses however they break easy so it keeps them expensive.
Then again these systems are baked into RPGs as you could compare stats, attributes, weapon degradation, etc.
Just going with "The original story said so so why bother" is not letting yourself flex your creativity
In episode 4 when Liliruca steals the knife and gets it appraised they say the knife is worth 30 valis. It's not very sharp and it won't cut anything. The blade has gone completely dull.
Yeah, because the blade "dies" when Bell/Hestia familia member is not wearing it. That is why the runes light up everytime Bell wields the knife.
