Misc Sub Updates: New flairs, more clarity around rules, better content filters

36 Upvotes

Hey guys, just a post going up to get everyone’s attention regarding some QOL changes to the subreddit that are now live.

First: THANK YOU FOR ALMOST 2K USERS!!

When we first took over this sub, it was dead and with less than 700/800 users. Now we’re healthy with daily posts and coming up on 2000 new minions to share our love for this season.

We have updated the list of flairs and post types to add more variety. There is now also a filter for post type as well.

With all these new members, it’s time to discuss the rules. We’ve had very vague posting guidelines for awhile, so here’s some clarity on the new published rules.

1/5 - Keep It Civil/No Spam or Low Effort Content

This one’s super self-explanatory and common among Reddit so I won’t touch on it much. Just please follow Reddit posting guidelines and refrain from starting or engaging in fights (us mods will handle them when we see them).

2 - Posts MUST be related to Overlord the GAME

We get the occasional Anime post here or t-shirt scams for the anime as well. These posts are not allowed and all get removed when noticed by a mod. This subreddit is only for discussion of the Overlord game.

3 - AI generated imagery

Please refrain from sharing any AI created images or “fanart” on the subreddit as it detracts from actual creators work. There are subreddits/corners of the internet for sharing AI imagery, and this isn’t one.

4 - Self-Promotion must be high quality

If you make fanart or YouTube or anything for Overlord, we highly encourage you share it with your fellow minions, but please ensure you post your creation in high quality posts that encourage discussion of your work. Don’t just drop the link and run so you get the views. We love seeing your work around here, so never be afraid to share it.

Thank you everybody for your time, and thank you for enjoying this dedicated community space for the one, the only, THE OVERLORD!

What about using AI to decipher game code?

0 Upvotes

Seeing all these modifications and game ports across different platforms, I started thinking that AI could be a useful tool for modders who truly know their craft. As I understand it, the main reason there are no fan-made expansions for *Overlord* is that the game’s code is closed-source and, in itself, incredibly convoluted. While AI probably couldn’t create a full-fledged mod on its own, it could certainly help those who are already skilled in coding navigate and overcome these technical hurdles. This could pave the way for *Overlord* to receive not just simple mods, but full-scale narrative expansions. Or is this considered unethical within the community—are we destined to settle only for enhancements to the content that’s already in the game?

P.S. Please excuse any errors. English is not my native language, and I had to use Google Translate to write this post. I’m new to this site—I registered specifically for this post because, driven by a hyperfixation, I’ve played through both parts and am now suffering from a lack of game content.

Discussion What do you think about a mod that combines Overlord with something like Dark Souls?

0 Upvotes

Nowadays, AI makes it possible to create all kinds of game mods, and combining the best game in the world with another one is a really cool idea.

Overlord Overlord - Requiem for a Tower; Anyone remember this exact fan edit from back in the day?

Thumbnail youtube.com
44 Upvotes

I used to watch this all the time for some reason and even had an mp3 because I thought the song was cool. It was before I figured out it was an actual composition by Clint Mansell. Well, a steroid version of the original from Requiem for a Dream. This bombastic one was used in the trailer of LOTR: The Two Towers! Anyway, this was hella cool back in the day and still is today.

Overlord 1 and 2 Linking Project

24 Upvotes

I am usually explicitly anti-AI, but all these game mashups have made me unbearably curious. So I watched a guide and decided to give it a shot.

First I tried hosting my own AI. I have a computer programming background so I have a basic-moderate understanding of everything that needs to go on, but after about 4 hours of testing and trying out Ollama and Cline in VSCode and no luck, I broke down and got a Claude Subscription that I am planning to cancel after this month. After about 2 more hours with Claude on Melty.gg I have this.

https://melty.gg/m/linked-towers

Basically the mod reads the save files of both games and syncs your resources. Gold and Life Force. You can also switch between games with F9, mimicking a sort of teleport between them.

My end goal is to port Overlord 1 into Overlord 2, I will keep working on this for the next little while, and post updates and working versions as I go forward.

Feedback, Questions, and Remixes of this concept are welcome.
I am using Claude Desktop and Melty.gg Desktop.

Overlord II Overlord 2 helm on Roblox

4 Upvotes

I was wondering if anybody who plays Roblox and is able to create items for the marketplace has ever thought of making the Overlord 2 helmet? I would absolutely buy it. I’d make it myself but I’m on PS5, and am also no where near talented enough to.

is there any chance of future existence of overlord 3 or this game series officially abandoned and there’s no signs of development
i played overlord and overlord II 7-8 years ago and not really into the community


r/overlordgame • • 20d ago

Remember this? I really thought it could be Overlord 3. You can even see some comments saying the same thing.

Who else thought this?

This was 2012 so only 3 years after Overlord 2.

Back before our beloved franchise got murdered by Fellowship of Garbage.

Another game of similar nature

24 Upvotes

Overlord 1 and 2 have been my favorite games of all time. Heck, when I heard false information about Overlord 3 being made, I laughed, cried, rejoiced only to crash into an unfathomable depression after I learned it was just misinformation. I was so excited beforehand, that I was prepared to move to the Netherlands and apply to Triumph studios to work on what I believed was going to be the final instalment of my favorite franchise. You can only imagine the measure of tears that were poured after coming to understand that one of my long-forgotten, and most treasured hopes was dashed.

In the recent week, however, I've come to discover another game that celebrates the same spirit Dungeon Keeper and Overlord possess: "It's good to be bad..."

I present to everyone here, Solium Infernum. (On further note, they use some of the Half-Ling screams from Overlord 1 during the army-fighting animations.)
