>Nude mods got deleted online Anybody have a backup?

>>1041669 DQ XI: Definitive Edition on PC is the, huh, defintive edition in terms of content. However, for reasons beyond our comprehension, Squeenix decided to downgrade every graphical aspect of the game so it's basically a glorified Switch port I remember being absolutely stunned by the details in the vanilla game on PC https://sites.google.com/view/dqxi-commands/faqs/about-project-rebuild Project Rebuild tries to undo the downgrades Squeenix implemented and adds a ton of graphical improvements. Then for the shitpost value there's the NPC Appearance Swap mod, which lets you change the looks of the main cast with any character from the models contained in the game, some are implemented better than others but for the most part it can lead to some amusing cutscenes. Another mod I liked when I was screwing around in the game is the Mount Selector, lets you get one of the available monsters to ride on any one map and explore the areas in ways mods didn't intend to, can be fun if you're that kind of autistic person. Finally, the mod I liked the most was New Battles (Arc 4), which basically counts as post-post game content with boss battles with insane stats that require very specific items/party member coordination, once again making use of some of the NPCs as assets. There's one battle against Gemma that basically softlocked me and I just found it really challenging to beat. DQ XI modding is a huge rabbit hole, there's even someone who reworked the entire game to put a female Heroine in it, reworked text boxes and all. >>1041789 Only one I could find is https://basedmods.eth.limo/mod/oszy_glZC8AqMQHsZ_R6mxe9Y6thccjzpPnVwAgb_dg/ but if you find them again you should def rehost them on some other site

>>1041919 >for reasons beyond our comprehension it was because they ported the game to an different version of Unreal so it could run on the Switch and restoring all the graphical effects for the PC re-release would have required more man hours than they thought would be worth it. It literally was just a direct Switch port

>>1041789 Nude mods got deleted where? Try Wayback Machine. What's the nude mod names?

>>1041569 >I tried DQ3 for the first time with the recent remake, and it was a slog, and I dropped it. I liked newer Dragon Quests, like DQ11. Other classics aged well, I play them for the first time and like them, but DQ3 didn't age well. The remake fixes the graphics, not sure what else didn't age well.

>>1042273 He said he "tried it for the first time with the recent remake," he's playing the remake and obviously didn't mean DQIII's graphics. An 80s RPG with polish is still an 80s RPG, and some aren't into them.

>>1042267 It got taken off of loverslab but got reuploaded somewhere else https://nudepatch.net/games/dragon-quest-xi/

Has the Steam version been cracked yet?

>>1046336 Checked and DQ III HD-2D Remake still has not been cracked as of yet. Not that there's any real demand though, considering all the censorship and the fact that a fan patch to remove all of that now embarrassingly outdated ESG compliance bullcrap had to be necessitated.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake has surpassed its internal sales expectations, Square Enix has revealed in its financial presentation. >Operating income up mainly due to stronger sales of “DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake” than initial assumptions

>>1073812 These things sell inspite of the DEI shite and I have no idea why that isn't realized. It's just a form of cultural habituation and brainwashing at this point.

>>1069162 Its Dragon Quest, it always sells well so I'm not too surprised; disappointing that people didn't think the censorship was important enough to take a stand on, but I guess they'll have to learn the hard way.

Fingers crossed, I will probably attend a conference where Yuji Horii will take questions from fans. I'm not expecting to get any real answer to the genders/revisionism crap considering he has already expressed his negative opinions on it anyhow, but if you guys have any good questions I can ask of him, please share them with me and I'll report the answers if they let me ask more than one that is. Personally, I just wanted to ask him the design philosophy behind enemy encounters and party members, and whether the use of the same types of attacks for both player characters and monsters was a deliberate choice to subtly teach the player about the game mechanics or if it was just born out of necessity due to hardware limitations, or both. Hopefully he can also sign some physical copy, or they allow recording or whatever so I can give more validity to my claims. >>1069162 Steam numbers are abysmal, though I wonder what the Switch sales are. I don't really think I and II will do quite so well either, unless there's a lot more content thrown at either. >>1069075 Shame, I've run the HD-2D port on a Switch emu and aside from awful performance in some areas and glitched, blinding lights, it's such a mixed bag. I really wanted to try out some of the mods that restore the original localization or a re-translation project, too.

Ask him if he feels optimistic or pessimistic about the direction the game industry in general is going, and why being as specific as possible without naming names. And if he answers the latter, what does he think are actions people could take to improve those circumstances and outlook. I'm trying to think of a question that's general enough that it will answer actual questions without being dismissed as "extremist fodder" because I hate everything about the current industry. I hate the developers, I hate the companies, and I hate all these new platforms coming out. Outside of the occasional game released through realtively obscure methods that meet my what-I-consider-to-be "reasonable" standards, I do not see myself continuing to the support anything the industry does in the future. Also, does anyone have any intention of releasing beyond the trifecta of platforms that are the PS5, Switch, and Steam? No, Xbox and GoG do not count.

>>1073976 What >>1074539 said. Can't really think of anything new that would fall into revisionism or might've already been asked before by a Japanese print or Game Center CX. Better to gain some of his insights while he still has them for the industry and newer blood in vidya.

Same, I loathe the entire system, both the people trying to appropriate vidya for political purposes and those who "oppose" them by releasing oversexualized slop with barely any actual interesting content in it. The only game from the last six years I bought is Balatro, for God's sake. I'll see if I can reword what you mean into a workable question that gets past the censors. >>1074549 Yeah, I'm mostly going there to gain some perspective for game development purposes, since no matter what, he's still kind of a giant in his own way.

>>1074556 >The only game from the last six years I bought is Balatro, for God's sake. The most "Recent" for me was Blood West, Nayla's Castle, and Dreamcutter. And it sort of says something that, over those three games, two of them are porn. >I'll see if I can reword what you mean into a workable question that gets past the censors. Thanks

>>1074556 Here's a few possible questions I got from an AI after entering the stuff in, feel free to reword or disregard them <in the evolving landscape of interactive entertainment, what broader themes do you feel currently foster or hinder inspiration among creators? And how could the community better cultivate an environment where innovative ideas thrive? <in navigating today’s digital landscape, how do you balance the pursuit of artistic vision against the realities of commercial success, and what can creators do to foster authenticity within their projects? <in the context of the evolving landscape of game design, how do you believe revisiting traditional mechanics can lead to innovative breakthroughs in the industry? <what fundamental challenges do you see emerging for storytellers and developers in the gaming landscape, and how can passionate enthusiasts foster a healthier environment for creativity and innovation?

>>1074726 These are the AI questions of all time but I'll do my best. I don't know how many they allow us per person but I'll try.

>>1074798 These are supposed to be variants of that question anon wanted asked earlier but reworded to be more tactful so that they don't get filtered as 'Extremist fodder'

>>1074843 the fact that such basic bitch observations about the decline of the industry are even treated as "extremist fodder" answers the question itself. It's not getting better, not until the whole industry crashes and there is a hard reset. Games were great when it was racist White and Japanese MEN making them, once women and browns were allowed anything more than a token presence it was the beginning of the end. Modern gaming is just Hollywood 2.0 and it's all owned by the same (((people))).

>>1073976 Small followup: apparently the venue will also host a panel with Broken Sword creator Charles Cecil, and I had some questions I wanted to ask, including what are the industry's opinion on playthroughs of point and click adventure games hosted online and if they plan to innovate the genre to take advantage of how the medium is consumed right now. If you feel like asking him anything, I'll try and add your question to the list. The event will be held on May the 2nd, so the end of April is pretty much the deadline for any addition.

>>1074726 >in the evolving landscape of interactive entertainment, what broader themes do you feel currently foster or hinder inspiration among creators? And how could the community better cultivate an environment where innovative ideas thrive? This is getting a generic answer,there others will likely get one too

>>1074726 Since it was an AI question and i was too lazy to do it myself i asked it to make it in a way to avoid generic answer but it might be too much and now allowed. >In the evolving landscape of interactive entertainment, what specific failures by creators or communities do you believe have led to stagnation in innovation, and how would you personally address these shortcomings? >Considering the tension between artistic vision and commercial success, what compromises have you made that you regret, and how do you justify these decisions to your audience or investors?

>>1073976 Ask why you can't play as a girl in DQ10 offline/DQ3 remake.

>>1087154 Wait, what? Why do I keep seeing games I'm interested in but expect there to be some kind of fucking, end up with me finding out they want to fuck me far harder than I expected?

>>1073976 remember that question of the mangaka/musician/*horii's positon* trio for a new game that i posed to you

Still here, waiting for questions

>>1046336 In most cases, if there is a switch version, you can emulate that before it gets cracked for PC. Crackers legit don't give a fuck if a game can be emulated.

>>1094498 Can you ask his thoughts on series going away from turn-based? It sucks seeing so many series i liked going further away from it in the main franchise( spin-offs are whatever)

>>1096218 Will do

>>1096073 So, do you guys like DQ? Any opinion on DQ XII?

>>1112625 >do you guys like DQ? I love the series >Any opinion on DQ XII? Fun and engaging but gets long in the tooth after 50 hours, the last stretches of the game have got a lot of meaningless padding and boring sidequests. 8/10

>>1112709 I was talking about DQ XII to be honest, but both apply

>>860430 >Do you like playing Dragon Quest, anon? Yes >Are you looking forward to Dragon Quest XII? I'm cautiously optimistic >Which girl is the best girl? Bianca >Which monster is the best monster? Slime knight
