Overlord H + (Development Thread)

[Lug30976]

I see no reason to remove Neimel's route, Scama and Lillynette appear long after Neimel. Also Neimel was interesting when she accepted you when you transformed into a human, then she even seems to have accepted you and that they had conversations after that with which she was satisfied, I thought he was going to continue something with her but it didn't happen until almost the end when he appeared again alone to go to the other continent to look for the swords with Ninya, who I think is quite pretty by the way. In summary, instead of replacing, its route should be extended.

Will this project be worked on now or after Legacy of Hestia is finished?

It took me 2 years to start a project previously voted on. I'll be releasing two Overlord side games (smaller ones) before I begin this project, but it'll be reusing some assets (such as character sprites) so technically I'll also be working on this. I made this thread ahead of time to write a GDD so everything will be ready once I begin.

Two Words .. Cuckqueen Albedo. Honestly one of the most believable ways to start a harem is to have them start with a cuckqueen. And have her push the protagonist into taking more girls. Totally get how harems can feel artificial and selfish. But having the 'main girl' push the idea really softens that aspect. Somehow the initial dilemma of overlord H is annoying with Albedo going yandere mode on anyone you choose but her. Totally get how she's primarily pissed she's not the FIRST wife. But the initial restrictions feel like an unnecessary hangover from when the game wasn't supposed to be a harem. Sure let players refuse Albedo if they want to. But I think having her actively push the harem would be both hot, Not as artificial feeling and make more sense. And seeing her attitude to shalltears interest in the main series I actually don't even think it's THAT unbelievable.

also for the LOVE of all that's holy give Ains a male form that doesn't look like an anorexic high schooler who's had long dong surgery XD

It's kind of lore friendly since she does agree someone like Ainz should have multiple wives, her main argument is which is more worthy to be the first.

personally i'd think shalcahir is better for the cuck queen role. sure albedo agrees intellectually with ainz having many concubines or even wives. but emotionally... i can't see it well. canon wise i think the only reason she'd push another woman on ainz is if it's the only way she can see to get him herself.

also i selfishly state that yandere albedo is too good to give up.

 

[Crazy_Chameleon]

Well you CAN have both Cuckqueen if she's the first wife and have her go Yandere if she's not. Choice is good hehe.

Oh and a couple of technical suggestions I forgot ..

Firstly it would be nice to have a navigation menu that you don't have to scroll for nazerick. It's just a minor niggle. But Idon't think the pictures for each area needed to be as big as they are. This will allow you to check areas and see new events with less messing around.

Secondly it would be nice to know WHICH mirror event we unlock when we unlock it. I'm sure a lot of people like to view mirror events when they are unlocked. But if you've played the game before many of them will be previously viewed. This creates a situation where you're not actually sure which event you just unlocked. This could also be easily remedied if you are prompted if you want to view that specific event when it unlocks.

Cheats are enabled in all my games.

 

[agrozombie]

im talking an eazyer way to cheat

 

[agrozombie]

as in cheats built into the game

 

[agrozombie]

sort of like a reward

 

[agrozombie]

i think gender swaping mare would be a good idea

 

[Winterfire]

Oh yeah, fair enough. Yes, in my newer projects, cheats have their own menu. This one will be no different.
They will never be a reward though, all my cheats are only available on Patreon/Subscribestar.

 

[billyjoebobmartin]

i think if mare did intentionally change his gender it'd open a whole new can of worms with the other male guardians... if you mean mare being fem from get go. maybe winter would consider it since he's not into femboys, but for plot and lore related reasons he prob won't go for it. especially since mare becomes king of the elf kingdom in the original version of the game. it'd feel a little odd for that to be the same (because both of the twins would presumably be married to ainz at that point) and raise the question of why not aura in that case. so many things would need to be reworked.

slight topic change, how close/far do you think you are to starting the remaster atm winter?

Still writing the GDD, I even entertained the idea of simply doing a sequel instead of a remaster since people who already played this game (+ watched anime/LN) already know how it goes, and they're ultimately interested in having a harem and using it, which would be accessible right from the start in the sequel, with a new original story starting from the Troll Kingdom.

Still considering all the possibilities, but for context my current project (Vox Gremory) was voted all the way back in 2021:

You must be registered to see the links

I need everything to be set in stone before I do anything to avoid delays/abandoned games/other fucksup.

It also depends on how the LN progresses, I still haven't read the latest number yet.
For now, I have my hands full with Vox Gremory and also working on the last release of Legacy of Hestia.

I think I could do something nice like allowing the customizing of the beginning to fit player's preference, but that's also uncertain since every change done to the source material is done with a reason, such as Re-Estize, which allows Princess Renner not to be in Nazarick since she's not part of the harem, but still play an important role "lore-wise".

So far, the only thing I am certain about is that I'd like the game to have more gameplay elements since that's the direction I've been pursuing with my last two projects, but before dropping that into a bigger game, I'll probably test the waters and gain feedback by doing that on a smaller scale project.

game play elements eh? maybe RPG like mechanics added to when ainz is fooling around as an adventurer? dating sims mechanics applied to non-naz characters? similar but different dating sims mechanics applied to nazz characters that operate off something like a loyalty loss system (maybe with it being all/mostly in ainz's head and why he opts the fake it till you make it method)? another idea could be the nazz loyalty loss system bleeding into ainz's sanity and stress. possibly with the idea of X event with albedo, keno/evileye, or whatever 'main wife' the player has chosen could break the loyalty/sanity system. or just replace it with whatever more realisitc stats instead of ainz's overthinking. (yes this would make ainz more like juvnic. but in some ways it could really fit early-mid game if we're talking only the remake.)

I don't want to spoil it, but yeah we can leave that as playing around as an adventurer. Any gameplay mechanic will be optional, even more so since despite what I'm planning, most people won't be a challenge. Not much left anyway from where Overlord H left off, aside from a starved Troll Kingdom creating issues as soon as Ainz is gone.

I'll be mostly expanding on the new continent (Either completely made up by me, or if by then there's some lore friendly stuff, I'll try to base the sequel on that). Aside from that, you'll just play as God while having Nazarick as your hub where you can interact with your Harem.

I even considered the idea of making that as an explorable map, but according to the poll people do not really like the idea of walking around, although I could make it optional since Ainz can teleport around.
I'm also waiting to see if Rubedo gets an official design.

 

[agrozombie]

what about eveileyes parents can we revive them somehow

 

[The Pointman]

As long as it is harem am all good and maybe let us do some combat sure would be pointless since we are OP Ainz but would be fun.
