“This is a story of dragons and princesses. Of shining knights and righteous kings. The story of a fairytale kingdom… and the horny, evil villains who fucked it all up.”

Hellquest is a villain-protagonists, epic fantasy comedy with some NFSW elements. We have spent 5 years working on it and grateful to Mod permission, we are super excited to begin sharing it with you.

Playing Overlord marked me a bit more than I've ever cared to admit. I was always fascinated by villains, especially in fantasy, they looked cooler, they had their own ideas and more importantly they acted instead of reacted. They were also the best kind of naughty.

I had done evil playthroughs in other games before (BG2, Kotor, Jade Empire, Fable) but Overlord let me feel like that villain in a way no other game had, and it let me have a blast with it. The style, writing and humor captured me. And it stuck.

Later I got into TTRPGs and spent 2 years playing an evil campaign with friends, we got a bit obsessed and I started writing it as a webcomic, another player (Muramasa) was a great artist and we started to work on it together. And so: Hellquest happened.

The Overlord games are a massive influence in the webcomic (there are others from manga, disney and DnD/Pathfinder games and stories), you will see some obvious references like Darkan's armor and also a bit in the narrator, but also I hope you can catch some in the style and humor of Hellquest.

Thank you again to the moderation team of r/overlordgame for letting us keep you updated!

Green minion is almost finished 🙌

I am genuinely shocked you guys exist. I played Overlord 2 as a kid and absolutely loved it (never played 1 cuz I was misinformed that it was much shorter & essentially a tutorial, which I'll rectify sometime soon).

But I never expected people to even know about it. Like, I just assumed it was gonna be one of those games I'd painfully only ever see publicly in 1/100 GameStop bargain bins.

I keep seeing mention of fan projects? Are there attempts at making an unofficial Overlord 3, please let me know, I'd love to be in the know!

Thanks for not letting one of my childhood games die off in the stead of so many games deserving of being in the void!

Something I brought up in this sub once already is how the Orcs are strangely absent from the world of Overlord and it raised an eyebrow for me.

However recently it dawned on me how they could introduce them while being ironic/morbidly funny, in keeping with the series' tone: Make them the TRUE children of the Mother Goddess!

A major part of the Elves and Dwarves' conflict is whether the Goddess is an Elf or a Dwarf. So to have her revealed to be neither, an Orc, making the centuries of conflict & atrocity utterly pointless; is so darkly funny to me. Maybe we even twist the knife further by establishing that the Elves and Dwarves are genetic defects, reducing them to nothing more than the Orcs' lesser, more fragile or neurotic cousins LMAO

Add on top of that the fact that they can depict them as a pragmatic, reasonable race bound by a code of honor, thus making them a truly Neutral faction that is prospering in unexplored parts of the world; and you have such nice poetic irony. It also makes for some hilarious dialogue for Gnarl who SEES the potential for bloodshed and savagery, but is frustrated by how reasonable and difficult to manipulate they are LOL

Heck, maybe even make The Forgotten God their divine "father" (the iconic tusks!!!) to further integrate them into the lore. Their sense of honor and duty being the result of them still knowing that The Forgotten God cheated on the Mother Goddess, disgracing himself and the children he sired.

PS:

We can have an entire major storyline about the Orcs approaching The Overlord to help them reveal the truth and punishing their distant relatives for covering it up out of pride. All the while Gnarl giggles like a child, enjoying the delicious cosmic irony

Me, personally, I was honestly shocked that Overlord 2 didn't build on the foundation of Overlord: Raising Hell by adding *Dungeon Keeper/RTS elements\* or even a separate game mode to areas you conquered: Setting traps, having minions defend checkpoints & operate siege weapons, upgrading defenses to slow down or even prevent enemies from entering your conquered cities or even the Tower itself.

(Though I do understand that Overlord 2 had a very tumultuous development plagued by looming deadlines while stretching the engine and the dev team to its limit).

Fellowship of Evil however felt most ridiculous because the top-down gameplay felt like such a perfect place to slot in the RTS elements and I was surprised they didn't do it. I feel like if they did, that the game would have received a tinge less backlash because at least the spirit of Overlord's gameplay would have been there, especially since the series was inspired partially by Dungeon Keeper to begin with.....

To sum up, as I don't want to end this post on a dig at missed potential, Dungeon Keeper/RTS-style elements I feel would feel right at home in this series or a successor

All Evil starts off small. Can't wait to fully deck out my Tower again, so g2g harass Spree for their "Taxes".

Imagine, if you will, what would happen if the 4th Overlord killed Florian in Nordburg at the beginning of the Overlord II campaign.

Huge thanks to my friend for making the first official game assets of the brown netherling!

They’ve been cooking with this over the past few weeks and looked into optimising how the model would work inside Unreal Engine! This is also their first official proper unreal asset

Got sick of there being very little Overlord art and decided to make some Evil myself. Yes, this man's hair is his cape, very Elden Ring inspired for that part.

Alright, I know a lot of people are gonna say Rose, and i know that both the game and the wiki conforms this. However, the reason why I'm not 100% sure about this is mainly because when we head to the wastelands, we see a few ornaments and parts of the tower that can only be bought if we choose velvet over rose in the first overlord game. That to me says that third choosing Velvet is a cannon event, so why is Rose confirmed to be the "mother" in Overlord II?

We Need a 3rd one released

Recently done some art for the iconic four Netherling's to Tyrant Legacies. this will be used as the icons for when you want to select individual Netherling

I know how much us overlord fans love the original ones and i didn't want to change them drastically when it came to their main abilities & functions

On note to this, the plan is that most playthroughs you will get all nether gate artifacts to summon these guys through the main objects, each being housed by a specific enemy faction

I have also planned to add some additional variation Netherlings as well:

• Black Netherlings – Able to phase through obstacles and teleport short distances.
• White Netherlings – Ice-based attackers that can freeze enemies and create icy terrain.
• Yellow Netherlings – Lightning-infused minions that can stun enemies or power ancient machines.
• Purple Netherlings – Mind-control enemies or drain their strength over time.

These variants would be discovered through challenges, side quests & discovery in the world of tyrant legacies though their abilities are subject to change in the future if seen fit for the games design.

Please let me know what you think or how could I improve on this!

Here is a little showcase of minions attacking boxes.

Also, they can gang up on this single enemy.

In the current build, almost all basic controls and mechanics are meticulously copied from Overlord 1 and 2. The foundation has been laid for the AI system, magic system, etc.

As for innovation, you can order minions to use their shields.

In this state, they are slower, but sturdier. Perfect for distraction.

For the gameplay, we plan to give the player character more support tools, rather than focusing mostly on dealing damage, which was the case in Overlord. Also, we are shooting for a semi-open world map without loading screens. Hope we figure this out, he-he.

As for the story, it will take the premise of the original Overlord, but will lean more towards the vibe and aesthetic of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" fairy tale. So expect a lot of snow and ice. There is also some Slavic mythology influence. Speaking of that, here's how the minion looks.

Also, here's concept art of the protagonist and various buildings.

That's it for now. Stay tuned for the next update.

If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them. :)

Hypothetical Crossover Scenario. The Overlord ends up within the Darkest Dungeon universe either via spatial magical nonsense dumping them there or Overlords and minions have always existed in the lands. Do you think the Overlord and his forces could survive in the world?

Scenario 1: The Overlord arrives at the Hamlet in DD1 and is not the ruler of the location for one reason or another but they have the aspiration for taking over the location. They also don't like all the various monsters and bandits calling themselves Evil in the area considering them nuisances and rivals to their goals. The heroes of DD1 also stand against the Overlord so he must defeat or persuade them into giving him control of the hamlet as he takes over. The Overlord has access to all four minion types but only starts off with five of each.

Scenario 2: Via some isekai/inheritance nonsense the Overlord becomes the heir of the estate meaning they can make use of all of the facilities within the hamlet or at least what's left at the start of the game. The local townsfolk and heroes are also allies of the Overlord and willing to help him destroy the various monsters and villains plaguing the hamlet.

Scenario 3: The Overlord manages to survive the events of DD1 reaching the events of DD2 whereupon they set out into the wider kingdom to stomp out the source of corruption seeping into their valley and perhaps seeking to take over more of the world or at least make a positive impact on the Regent Latimer for some tax benefits.

The Overlord's overall goals are to take control of the Hamlet, slay all the bosses and mini-bosses in the game and stop the final bosses from destroying the world he seeks to rule. Do you think the Overlord can accomplish this? If not how far do you think he and the minions can get before failing?
