I just feel like the game is too dark, it could use some funny moments.
It has a mix of everything: R11 is quite dark but ends in romance, R12/R13 is dark (Covers Kiba's backstory) but it has also its funny moments and ends up with fun (Rias/Asia scenes), and R14 will be the pool episode which is just fan service.
However, at it's core, it's still a dark universe and in some parts the game will be darker than the source when required as it won't always be 1:1 with the source.

i still await the day the oppai dragon song gets put as the main menu music (even if it's only for a month, like say during the march-april-ish update *wink wink*) and the next update in general.

Good idea, although it'll probably be just on 1st April as an easter egg

hmm battle system seems without bugs, (might need to replay from beginning now. is the earlier battles implemented in R12?) but i have some small suggestions.
make the Esc key or something a/another method of deselect and probably cancel casting.
the ability to take an action then move if the player decides to do things in that order, instead of move then action.

A button called "Cancel Casting" should appear when you select a power, it doesn't appear in your game?

As for the action/move, that's done on purpose to avoid cat chasing (Although most enemies so far are quite fast, but Mira for instance will have 1 tile movement, at least on her first battle).

The old battles are slowly getting added, as Exalted said, there are only the first three ones so far.
On R13, I focused on replacing other placeholders instead... It bothered me too much how Ddraig's CG looked so dumb, so I redid it and also used the same asset to make his avatar as well.

When it comes to Mira, I already replaced her Avatar a few releases ago so I can reuse that to make her battle assets as well,
I can also reuse Saji's logic (also pawn) for her, so the only thing left to do is make her naked sprite when the protagonist uses Dress Break on her (which would happen on her second battle).

nah the button appears, i just am greedy and want another option. and imo the Esc key would be ideal.

as for cat chasing... aww. personally i would think it'd add a layer of strategy until issei gets his dragon shot ranged attack unlocked. and even after a small bit. but i guess it might piss off too many noobs with the AI doing hit and run tactics against them 'too soon' in the game. >_>

only 3 new retro battles for now got it. i'll wait on a replay then, thanks for the answer! so by r14 or 15 all the early game battles will be done? or will you possibly (kinda don't think you will but wanna check anyways) update the public version of r13 with the missing battles when you release it?

The issue with the rest of the retro battles is that at that point (past the first Mira battle), the player can potentially dress break them, which means an extra image for me to make. I'm not sure if I can promise that right now as the priority goes to the update itself (and I'll have to soon make the bikini version of many sprites + Summer uniform).

At the very least I can promise that all future battles will be playable, so whenever the rest of the retro battles are ready, you can simply load an old save just for the sake of dress breaking those enemies and unlock their cg.

All heroines.
I get that the original series does this because Japanese readers are scared of mature women, but in the case of a character like Rossweisse that really lessens her appeal to me.

Also Irina kills me in one hit in the fight this chapter. I haven't played any of the previous fights (Since they didn't exist in previous updates), am I supposed to be getting my ass kicked?

on this subject, how's that gonna work for yaksaka or however her name went (yokai fox milf)? she can't be a virgin even with the crazy lore of DxD universe right? could've sworn there was mentions of kunou's (the fox youkai daughter) father once or twice.

also rossweisse being a virgin actually makes sense tho. she's quite a bit of a workaholic before joining the devil crew.

as for irina fight, you need to dodge her attack in the first turn by going up or down one square prob boosting after movement just in case. that will allow you to dressbreak her next turn and/or survive a hit (if your defence is decent enough) if you make an oopsie.

Lore-wise, she's more powerful than you with a weapon lethal to you, so yes.

However, you're given the tools to overcome tougher opponents: You can use promotion to boost your stats, and/or your boosted gear to double them.

In the source material, Issei tried to hit her with a Dress Break and failed, maybe you might succeed =P

What? Rossweisse has even the catchphrase for it.

Yes, but I didn't plan that far ahead (yet).
These are the planned heroines:
https://f95zone.to/threads/vox-gremory-dxd-parody-game-development-thread.154218/

All of them are virgin, it'll be a while before I'll have to worry about Yasaka, but yes, she wouldn't be a virgin for obvious reasons.

Finally tried this game, I had big expectations after playing my favorite "Overlord H" and sadly, this game is the worst i played from winterfire :cry:.
H scenes almost non existing (this game is in very early development so I understand), but those "scenes" that are implemented already into the game are just bad as hell. Just 1-2 image? of mc and naked Rias, lot of text and that's it. That's the sex scene. Or BJ scene.... again, 1 image of that girl name i forgot and that's the BJ scene.

[I was looking forward to this game as i loved "High School DxD" until they made MC a pussy and biggest perv of all and entire plot that was demons vs angels/fallen angels/humans to ... boobs. The entire season as i watched (don't remember which it was) was just BOOBS. Boobs this, boobs that, mc become boobs king, the fuc*ing badass dragon become boobs follower like xd :KEK:]

But back to the game. H-scenes does not exist, h-images boring as fu*k and very few, overall gameplay is very bad, "fighting" system is... or will be just "ok" in future updates when dev will implement it as it's non existing too for now. (Just one/two battles you can fight but it got buggy for me as i couldn't defeat one enemy at all. (He got no damage).




... really the worst game i've played in like 4 years.

ah, you're only referring to the main cast + raynare and kuroka. gotcha.

hmm, correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't ophis join before ravel does in canon? kinda silly she's not listed. :p

just wait for r15 or somewhere around there. winter planned to have first vag sex around there.

for the BJ scene, i'm pretty sure it won't matter how short it is once the real sex stuff starts. knowing winter he might expand on it at a later date too.

i assume the 'buggy' fight you're talking about is the feed fight right? he has high ass evasion so you gotta plan for missing hits and tanking a lot. (aka use koneko or if you have high defense stats issei to tank.) if not the freed fight, than please do winter a favor and go into detail sheesh.

Vaginal sex already exists on R13 with both Asia and Rias, with R12 hinting at it before Freed cockblocks you, which gives a neat effect of hate from the player himself as well.

I don't think he's referring to the length or even quantity of scenes, but rather the fact that they're composed of static cgs.
While I do plan on adding animations (only for the scenes in the hub), story related hentai scenes will stay static for two reasons:
1- I am still learning animations
2- I suspect that once I do learn animations, they will take me quite a lot of time to make, which is not something I can afford on a monthly schedule.

This was not a recent change though, I switched to this style after Overlord H because I realized that no matter how good a model on koikatu looks, it'll never be as good as the drawn thing and in a parody I believe that not only the soul but also the looks of a character matter.

This is one of the CG from R13 for instance:
prev.jpg

I believe the quality of visuals (and accuracy of Rias' looks) is much better than Overlord H or even most of Legacy of Hestia, but it comes at a high cost of time. However, I think it's ultimately worth it.

Fighting in this game is very strategic, and you need to be able to use your units properly:
-Rook is the tank, so she should charge first and take the beating. With some luck, she can give a beating back.
-Knight is the dps, he can deal and dodge damage, but if he gets hit by a powerful attack, he might be a goner.
-Pawn is the "utility", Saji can use the absorption line and stay in the distance while he continues to absorb HP, and the protagonist can move away temporarily to boost and promote to the needed piece (Also keep in mind that you can also checkmate and become a Queen piece, which is even the strongest piece you can become).

If it's a legit bug, which could be possible, do let me know how I can replicate it and I'll fix it asap.
The combat system is still under construction, on R13 the attack formula has been improved for better scalability and the protagonist still lacks the summons (which will serve as cannon fodders in 1v1, to allow him to boost in peace).

Ultimately though, some battles are meant to be tough or even lost like in the source material, that's why the game is very forgiving and won't kick you to a game over (except in very rare specific cases).
The game, being a game, still gives you a chance if you play well, but some enemies are meant to be dangerous... Like Freed, who could 2v1 Koneko and Yuuto.

I even put a big reward in exp/money if you somehow manage to defeat Kokabiel x) Which is basically impossible unless you cheat. That's meant to statistically show how powerful Kokabiel is, and how even more powerful Vali is.
So, don't be afraid of losing battles, as long as you avoid the Game Over ones, it's all good.
