Good day, everyone!
Here we are, at the final update of 2022! A lot happened in the world, but when it comes to us, this project, and each and everyone of you lovely backers...
From everyone at Ninetail, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR A GREAT 2022!
We managed to get all the Stretch Goals for GAIA, and we couldn't have done it without all of your love and support!
Words simply cannot express how thankful we are for all of the support we have received and we are blessed to have such amazing fans!
We will continue to work towards making the best version of VenusBlood GAIA International possible, so definitely do look forward to it!
And of course, we will continue to keep you all updated on our progress throughout 2023 as well! Do stay tuned for updates!
To end off the year, we wish to introduce another round of World Arcana Character/Scenes!
World Arcana Introductions Part 4
Marksman Captain Milia

Story:
After successfully solving the root cause of the world's decay, Theofrad and the rest returned to Energeia victorious. Afterwards, Milia was appointed as the captain of Energeia's sorcerous marksman squad. In the middle of a mission to protect a VIP, she walked by Theo's research room and happened to hear some...unsavory noises coming from within.
"Theo entrusted me with a weighty position within his country. Iowe him much, and so I will domy utmost to answer his expectations of me."
Having assisted Theofrad in his journey, she was granted a position in Energeia's military. The military life probably suits her better than some form of retirement, yes?
Still...What exactly could Theo be doing in his research room that it would make such weird...noises?
Do look forward to finding out!
And of course, just like last time, here is another Character Scene Introduction for you!
AwakenedHoly Mother Carmilla

Story:
After defeating the 5 Miko alliance, Carmilla was captured by Theofrad. While considering what to do with her, he remembered rumours of a crazed group of zealous worshippers, and concocted a sinister plan. However, he did not account for the fact that the results of this experiment would cause her affinity to reverse, resulting in the birth of a new goddess...
"Ohoho, I admit, I did not see this coming... Theofrad,I will be sure to repay what you have done to me with interest...!"
From a Vampire Noble to a Goddess, of all things? Somewhat unexpected, but you never know the kinds of things Theo can cook up in his experiments!
Still, to defy Theo not just once, but twice...She's certainly not getting off easy this time, especially against the Heretic Archduke Theo.
Do look forward to finding out how things go in the full game!

Good day, folks!
Another update where we introduce more characters/scenes from the World Arcana holders, so without further ado, let us get started!
SorcerousAngel Milia
Courtesyof the World Arcana Holderkukoso
Story:
Having given in to heresy, the Heretical Archduke has succeeded in suppressing all of his enemies...Until, all of a sudden, he was invaded by enemies from an alternate future. Led by the Sorcerous Angel Milia, these new forces invade in force, and thus the curtains rise on the final battle between two old friends.
"To think you would follow such a destructive path...You aren't the Theo I know, despite being the same person. I will stop you with these two hands...!"
A fateful battle between old friends. Knowing what the Theo of her world managed to achieve together with their allies, she could not bear to witness that very same man going down such a destructive path in the current world-line.
But alas, we all know how things will end, for Theo gave up many things on this destructive path, but his mighty power and strategic mind were still ever present.
What will come of this fateful battle...?
Ah, but this is not the only character to be introduced today! That's right, there is a second character to be introduced!
PureSinister Dragon Teria

Story:
After having won the conflict between himself and the 5 Miko alliance, Theo picked up a Teria who was left wandering around aimlessly without her memories. He decided to condition her to his liking, turning her into a pawn of his, changing her lovely white dress into a jet-black one as she reveals a darker, more sinister form...
"Master, what do you think of this new look? Do you like it...?"
A lovely dress for a lovely loli dragon. Looks amazing, wouldn't you agree?
As for what Theo could possibly do to her... Well...
Do look forward to finding out in the full game!
Backerkit & Pre-Order Store Closed
Just a quick notice that the Deadline for the Backerkit and Pre-Order Store has passed, and they are now officially closed!
Thank you all for your support! We hope that you are all happy with the choices/purchases made!
We will continue to work towards the game's full release, and also continue to release periodic updates until then, so do look forward to it!

Good day, everyone!
Today is part 2 of the World Arcana Character/Scene introductions, and we would like to get started right away!
The heroine in the spotlight today is...
Vanilla!
Bride of Twilight Vanilla

Story:
After all the fighting was over, Theofrad and Vanilla held an official wedding ceremony in the Alhazred Mausoleum. Clad in a beautiful white wedding dress, the beautiful bride smiles lovingly at her new husband-to-be.
"My dear husband... Thankyou. I look forward to spending the rest of eternity together with you."
Yes, a happy ending for Vanilla, one that is truly deserved, to be sure!
From a stranger, to a friend, and then to lovers and finally husband and wife. Truly a Vanilla filled love story, one might even say it is some sweet Vanilla for Vanilla?
Do look forward to the finished scene in the full game!
Backerkit & Pre-Order Store Final Deadline
We would once again like to post a simple reminder that the final deadline for the Backerkit and Pre-Order Store isDecember 15th 2022at Midnight (JST)!

Good day, folks!
Many have wondered when the updates would start introducing the characters chosen for the World Arcana tier...Well, wonder no more, for here it is!
For this first World Arcana introduction update, the chosen heroine we will be introducing is...
Tamamo!
SyntheticDivine BeastTamamo
Courtesyof the World Arcana Holder 黒犬つかい
Story:
Now that Theo has initiated hostilities against the 5 Miko Alliance, he begins preparations for the Synthetic Divine Beast Project. Via experimentation, he forces Tomoe to lose her personality and character, before attempting to implant the Essence of the Divine Beast Tamamo into the empty shell left behind, turning it into a convenient tool, nothing but a weapon to be deployed against his enemies.
"Hehe, you did well to gather before me, my subjects. Henceforth, you are all naught but livestock... I will take my time disciplining all of you. As long as you behave, nothing bad will happen... "
For anyone familiar with H-MAN, you may recognise what T-MOE means for the character...And for those who don't, well, no spoilers!
Do look forward to finding out what exactly happened to Tamamo and Tomoe in the full game!
Backerkit & Pre-Order Store Final Deadline Looming
Just a simple reminder that the final deadline for the Backerkit and Pre-Order Store isDecember 15th 2022 (JST)!
Still a little over a 100 folk who haven't answered their backerkit survey, so please double check!
Energeian Council Scene Vote & Guest Vote Results! / エネルゲイア評議会シーン＆ゲスト投票の結果発表！
over 1 year ago
– Tue, Nov 08, 2022 at 03:43:22 PM
*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, everyone!
Now then, the update we are sure that many, many of you have been eagerly anticipating! Yes, the results of the second Energeian Council Vote, which includes the scene and guest vote!
Now then, let us begin!
*For NSFW Sumaries of the Scenes, please check out this list.
Vanilla
"Ah... My Beloved Master, I could not have wished for further happiness than just being with you, but to receive such a blessing... I am perhaps the happiest woman alive. Hehe, although, 'alive' may not be entirely accurate."
Winning Scene (42.1% of votes for her scenes)
V2 Vanilla's Blissful Pregnancy
Summary (SFW):
Some time passes after her marriage with Theo, and as per his word, he managed to find a way to get her pregnant with his biological child. A few months into her pregnancy, her stomach has bulged as new life is housed within. Worrying for her body, Theo has been cutting back on being overly intimate with her, and although happy for his consideration, she misses his loving touch. Despite being pregnant, she feels that as a maid and as a wife, she wants to feel the love of her master/husband, and tells him such.
Now then, Vanilla. Her vote was a bloody battleground, no doubt about it, but it was mostly a 1-on-1 fight between two scenes, that being this one and 2nd place.
Let's take a look at the runner-up and other scenes that got decent support as well!
Runner-Up (26.2% of votes for her scenes)
V6 The Feeling of Being Alive
3rdPlace (12.8%)
V12 White See-Through School Swimsuit
4th Place (5.5%)
V5 Loli Vanilla's Predicament
5th Place (4.9% each)
V7 Coin-Pusher Machine: Vanilla
V11 The Cow Cries Lustfully
1st place through 4th place seems to share one common thread, that being mostly Vanilla scenes for Vanilla!
As in, loving scenes. Not only a wedding scene thanks to a World Arcana Backer, but now a scene like this one to follow it up...She truly deserved this happiness, and we hope that you are all happy for her as well.
A result that warms the heart, truly. Wouldn't you agree?
Lulu
"Reboot completed... What? Eggs? Participation in...The Arcane Avatar Project? What do you mean, just like I've been doing until now...?"
Winning Scene (33.3% of votes for her scenes)
LU15 Egg Production Factory
Summary (SFW):
Feeling bored one day, Theo reinstalled Lulu's old personality, where she hated the idea of participating in the Arcane Avatar project. However, through repeated sessions, she began to like it more and more...
Well, Lulu, then. Interestingly, her scene vote was rather tumultuous, a true battlefield all the way until the end where just a single scene pulled ahead and stayed there.
The whole process was truly a sight to behold.
Either way, we would like to share with you guys the runner-up scene, as well as 3rd, 4th and 5th places!
Runner-Up (15.6% of votes for her scenes)
LU4 Use me!
3rdPlace (11.1% each)
LU 6 Lulu's Personal Weapon: The S4919
LU 7 Lulu is the Queen
5th Place (8.9%)
LU8 Lulu and the dangerous swimsuit
Quite a split of percentages, with 1st place taking a whopping 1/3 of all her votes.
Speaking of the winning scene, well... It's eggs... I mean, the Arcane Avatar Project, which is kinda the whole selling point of G originally.
So perhaps this scene winning was a foregone conclusion? Who knows.
Lucretia
"Finally... I can finally spend some time alone together with my beloved husband without any interference...! Oh darling, let us make the most of our time together, okay? I want today to be a special day..."
Winning Scene (36.4% of votes for her scenes)
LC4Spending Time Together
Summary (SFW):
After all the fighting was over, Theo took Lucretia as his wife, but they never really had time to spend together as they were both busy with their work. And everytime they do find time to spend together...There's always that 1 pest that appears to steal that time together. One day, Theo and Lucretia devised a plan to avoid said pest and managed to spend some quality time together. Little did Theo know that today was also the day Lucretia decided she wanted to get pregnant with his child.
Now, Lucretia was definitely an interesting vote to watch happen. Even from the very beginning, LC4 got a huge wave of support. 2nd and 3rd place did as well, but LC4 was a sight to behold.
In fact,at one point, it held 50%! FIFTY PERCENT! That means HALF OF ALL VOTES TO HER...
Speaking of which...
Runner-Up (20.5% of votes for her scenes)
LC2 Come Again!
3rdPlace (13.6%)
LC8 Photography Show
4th Place (9.1% each)
LC3 Bunny Lucretia's Service
LC9 Tsubasa Market
We were frankly amazed at the almost visible, palpable PASSION of the voters who just wanted to give Lucretia justice, to give her a proper loving ending with her husband without a certain someone else butting in... (Watch her original ending for context when the game comes out)
Simply amazing. Rest assured we will do our best to deliver onto her what was deserved from the very beginning.
Esteria
"No... I... To think that I would be reduced to such a state... And yet, some part of me simply is unable to resist...!"
Winning Scene (42.5% of votes for her scenes)
E10Dragon Fall
Summary (SFW):
With his control over her waning Theo sees this as the perfect opportunity to harvest esprit from Esteria and bring the divine beast under his complete and unyielding control. Through repeated experimentation, a new divine dragon is born to serve Theofrad and destroy all his enemies.
How should I put this...Esteria was one of the more uneventful votes. E10 kind of pulled ahead early on and showed no signs of being overtaken at all, mostly a foregone conclusion.
Runner-Up (17.5% of votes for her scenes)
E9 Arcana Empress Esteria
3rdPlace (11.3%)
E7 Forbidden After Class Lesson with Teacher Esteria
4th Place (7.5% each)
E1 The Prideful Empress No Longer
E11 Female Dog Empress
Honestly I think the scene summary kind of speaks for itself as to what kind of scene she will be getting.
Perhaps people thought it would be weird to give her a Vanilla loving scene considering what happens in the story... Oh, no spoilers btw.
2nd place was somewhat intriguing in a comedic sense, but alas, there can only be 1 winner.
Orte
"That you would save me despite being your enemy... I thank you for your mercy. I will never forget this debt, and I will repay you with all of my heart and soul."
Winning Scene (41.5% of votes for her scenes)
O8 Ether Wolf
Summary (SFW):
After being heavily injured after their final battle, Theo figures he could save her by filling her with his ether, turning her into an ether-dependant life-form like himself. He does so, and she joins his harem afterwards. Also, that fluffy tail deserves some love!
Would you believe me if I said that Orte's voting battlefield was literally the most interesting and volatile one to watch?
It reached like, a 3 way tie at one point, then 2 of them pulled ahead, 1 of them got on top of the other, but then at the last minute, a few voters propelled the other scene to victory?
Insane. Absolutely insane and every second of watching the results change in real time was so very fascinating.
Runner-Up (31.7% of votes for her scenes)
O6 The Prideful Wolfgirl Humiliated with a dogeza
3rdPlace (14.6%)
O7 Forced? Recruitment!
4th Place (4.9%)
O5 One Shot is 10G
5th Place (2.4% each)
O2 Losing to Orte Bad End
O3 Yearning for the Moon
See, this one felt like a true battle between Law and Chaos, of a Vanilla Scene vs a more Chaotic scene.
Those determined to see her get a happy ending, and those who want to humiliate her and plunge her into the depths of despair...
And then, thanks to the final push by a few voters at the end, the loving Vanilla scene won the day.
What is this, some kind of anime? If so, I loved every second of watching it unfold.
Henrietta
"I am Henrietta, and Master Theofrad's word is absolute...Yes, absolute. I pledge all that I am to his service..."
Winning Scene (48.8% of votes for her scenes)
H7 A Gift for the Cloned Henrietta
Summary (SFW):
Theo made a clone of Henrietta to serve his own purposes. As a test, he makes her fight Mary, and Henrietta actually wins. He then grants her a gift in the form of any type of intimate reward she wants. He agrees to her request.
Much like with Esteria, one of her scenes surged to the top relatively early and just kind of...stayed there. So in a sense, somewhat uneventful as well.
I suppose the battle between 2nd and 3rd was somewhat interesting though.
Runner-Up (15.9% of votes for her scenes)
H9 Friendship & Love
3rdPlace (14.6% each)
H2 Henrietta's Training
H3 Defiled Dreams
5th Place (4.9%)
H6 Marionette Doll
Funny, it almost feels like everyone was determined to drop Henrietta into the depths of chaos. Like, even the winning scene, despite sounding almost Vanilla-ish, kind of...isn't. Especially with all the implications.
And don't let the 2nd scene's name fool you, go read the scene summary again.
Also if you read into it, it's also basically a bit of a spoiler, so...Don't think too much on it and just wait for the game, yeah?
That does it for the scene votes! We hope everyone was happy with the results?
Do look forward to what they will turn out to look like in the full game!
Now then, let us move on to...
Guest Vote Results
This is already a monster of an update so we'll try to keep this section brief.
As mentioned in earlier updates, there are 14 slots for guests. The winners are, in order:
14.1% of votes
A perhaps unexpected choice, but she certainly has her fans! Mostly 1 or 2 that literally pledged all their votes to her but hey, it was good enough to get her to the top.
11.4% of votes
The ever popular Ereshkigal from the latest VB game, who was actually nominated by multiple voters during the first phase.
9.2% of votes
The Good Ol' Classic, always popular and ever-present.
6.5% of votes each
Now THIS is surely a surprise, considering the reputation one of these two have in the fandom. Kind of.
Sigyn received quite a bit of support from domestic backers while Flora was more so support from the western space. Interesting that they would tie for 4th like this, eh?
6% of votes
Zombie girls deserve some love too! And she certainly got some from a particularly powerful voter.
4.9% of votes
Basically the only Male Guest to have made it this time, Hain from VBB! Following on from his appearance in Hollow, he certainly is a popular VB Protagonist.
4.3% of votes each
Well, see, Sylvia is kind of the obvious one. Elisha from VBS might have an element of freshness since S was the latest VB.
3.3% of votes each
Destined to be rivals forever, huh. Despite losing by a smidge to Sylvia in terms of vote, Anora making it in from Hollow certainly makes sense! Odin has always been a fan favourite and Rinrin, well, slime girls are great, you know?
2.7% of votes each
Leaving aside the potential spoiler the girl on the left represents, Julia and Tia, like, obviously, yes? After all, these 3 are all lovely dragon girls!
Now then, anyone keeping track of numbers might notice we have 15 guests shown. Well...What the hey, they managed to tie that last spot 3 ways, so we'll let them all in!
But actually, that's not all!
As a form of...Consolation Prize? Participation Medal? Hmm...
Well actually that sounds terrible, so let's just say that as an apology for the recent delay in proceedings for the Energeian Council, we will be giving all the characters that tied for 16th place a spot as a guest in the game!
We hope that you're all happy to hear that!
And well, that about does it for this colossal update. Once development has proceeded further, we will introduce the scenes in more detail, so definitely do look forward to those!
