Difficulty setting, and a couple of things redone.

I have added a difficulty setting yesterday, after much thinking I have decided the best way to do it would be to include said option at the beginning of the game rather than being able to switch it back and forth from the settings, that is because a few things tied to the rewards rely on the difficulty and changing them mid game might lead to some weird issues.

You can choose between two difficulties: Hard and Normal.
The hard difficulty gives you t...

Battle System Overhaul

Earlier today I have finished overhauling the Battle System to make it feel less "barebones", the overhaul added battle music, sound effects and visual effects for the various attacks and spells.

Alongside the setting I have added in R8, it makes the battles visually more appealing and faster, it especially makes spells like Firebolt and Lightning Bolt feel different, while also showing the raw...

A new way to track progress

Last month's poll is over and due to the results, I have added an extra way to view the game's progresses directly from Patreon.


This is a compact version of the progress report on discord, but displaying bar progress instead of a changelog.

Alongside the patreon posts (Plans, previews, and so on) you can still make a pretty good guess of what is getting added without having to read it.
Of course if you are ...

R9 Plans

On R9 I would like to focus on completing and overhauling some features such as the Journal and the Battle System, while also making some changes and improvements throughout the whole game to the best of my capabilities after taking some notes based on players' feedback.

That means the main storyline will not advance on R9, instead all the new content will feature postponed characters such as Lena, currently unavailable scenes for Demeter and even new scenes for some of the existing ch...

CG Preview - Currently testing!

Earlier today I finished the last CG (the one I am previewing in this post), that is the second scene of Eina, with Hestia also having two new scenes in R8.

I just finished putting everything in the game, and now I am testing to hunt bugs, issues and other inconsistencies.
The bugs I have found so far are quite small and easy to fix, with the most time consuming parts done, I can easily make a release by this weekend, and then update the walkthrough and game design document with the...

CG Preview & Current progress

This is one of the CGs I have done today, and the last one for today (Evening here!).
In this scene, Bell and Ryuu will be discussing levelling up while washing dishes, similar to the source material but in the game it will happen much earlier as I believe Bell would look into levelling up shortly after finding out Ais levelled up to 6.

I tried to replicate the Hostess of Fertility kitchen as shown in the anime, but added a few extra details (the faucet and how I believe the system ...

How would you like to view progress?

In all these years I have been updating my progress report through my discord and what I consider important news through posts, whose frequency may vary.
However, I have come to the realization that those who do not have Discord (or may not want to join my discord) will not be able to view the project's progress outside of the posts I make here.

As a patron, what would your preferred way to view the project's progress be?

I have considered two options:

First Minigame, Demeter and quests.

In one of the quests you will be taking on R8 there will be one by Demeter in which you will be able to help during the harvest season -through a minigame.

The minigame is rather simple, and unlike the screenshot suggests, there is no actual "time", you can progress it at your own pace. The time decreases everytime you perform an action.
Your objective is described before the minigame begins, but essentially you need to harvest as much food as possible, then move to the next area...

Guild location & Side quests

I have just finished testing a newly added location: The Guild.
In the guild you will find the Job Board which will include three daily quests (In the screenshot there is only one because I did not add any other quest yet), every time you finish a quest, the following day it will have the spot filled by a new one (If any is available)... That also means that if you never do any quest, the three initial ones will always stay there.

I was initially planning to create a system which wou...

R8 CG Preview

This is the last CG of chapter 4 for the main storyline, at the end I went for the "free week" before the beginning of chapter 5, and aside from various activities, I was thinking of adding some small scenes during each day... Something similar to the mirror events of Overlord H I guess.

Aside from that, I also decided against a dating system as I feel the whole dating and hentai scenes should be part of the main storyline according to the choices you have made.
Something like the Br...

R8 Plan

In these days after fixing all the bugs reported (although there are some more recent ones that will be fixed in R8) I have noted down all the stuff I would like to include in R8, and also some design ideas.

First of all, R8 will conclude chapter 4 with a lap pillow from either Riveria or Ais, depending on your initial choice; However, rather than beginning chapter 5 and heading straight to floor 10 just after you have finished exploring Floor 8 and 9, I plan to include a "free week" wh...

Should I reduce the excelia gain?

Many people have been telling me how they get too much excelia, and while this is to be expected as a level 1 or if you grind, it may not be something the majority enjoys.

Should I do a whole run (from beginning till the ending of R7) and look into possibly decrease the excelia gain?

R7 Progress Report + CG Preview

In these days I have been writing all the hentai scenes that will be featured on R7, and recently started doing the CGs (The only thing left to do, aside from testing the game).

R7 is still scheduled to release between the end of September and beginning of October, and in order to avoid a delay, I cut a few minor things from R7: Lena's brothel scene and the lap pillow scene with Ais/Riveria. Both of them will be added on R8 instead.

R7 will still feature four hentai scenes, and ...

Floor 8 preview

From wiki:
"The ceiling changes height from three to four meters from the floors above to nearly ten meters above. Moss covers the brown colored walls and the ground below becomes a short grass plain. The strong light from the phosphorescence above is similar to light from the sun."

I tried to replicate that look, and I think I did it.
I did not want it to be too bright like the actual sun because I feel that would not look right (especially when compared to Rivi...

Red Light District

I have mentioned a few times how R7 will begin to feature the first hentai scenes with either Hestia or Eina, depending on the route you have chosen.
In those playthroughs, all the hentai scenes will be about the woman you have chosen and will be mostly romance-based, while following the plot of the series as you would expect.

However, I remembered someone had told me their interest in seeing Samira in the game, and while I had not a clear idea of how to introduce her for a long tim...

Magic has been added!

Magic has been added to the game, you will be able to get your first spell during the main storyline.

Spells essentially work just like a normal attacks, with the exception they use your magic ability which should be 0 during this point of the game... So for most people, spells will deal far less damage than your knife, especially if you have been grinding your strength to a high rank.

However, what sets spells apart and makes them actually useful are the newly added monster res...

Three years old!

This month (on 27th September to be more accurate) it will be three years since I have been on patreon, and three years since I have began creating hentai games.

This year I made an early announcement because I am excited to let you know that the Walkthrough for Overlord H has been made public to the community as a way to thank you for supporting/following me all these years. Enjoy!

Of course, a big thank you also goes to all that have joined recently and started supporting my c...

R6 Progress Report

I just finished Eina's last CG for R6, which brings you to another date with her where you will pretty much reconfirm your feelings for her, an actual date.
Initially I had planned to release R6 with just Eina, but I have decided to take some more time and also include Hestia's confession after a few changes of plan.

In the past, I wanted to include Hestia's confession on season 2 (or at least put a secondary confession there), but I slowly decided against it.
Having multiple beg...
