Good day, folks!
Bit of a packed update today so let us get underway!
First off, another Backerkit related notice to start us off!
As mentioned in a previous update, we need addresses to be written in the English Alphabet, and to avoid special letters like ß and such, and we would like to expand on this more.
Please also avoid using special letters outside of the basic alphabet like é, ö, è, æ, ø and such.
Basically if it is not a basic abcde type alphabet and has some kind of...mark? on them, please avoid using them in your address. Please substitute them with the alphabet equivalent, such as ø -> o. Don't worry, your goods will still be delivered to the correct address.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Oh and don't forget that the VBHI goods limited re-run begins on the 25th of September at 12:00 pm (JST).
Energeian Council Preparations are Underway
To the members of the Energeian Council as well as those who are curious about it, we are happy to say that we are hard at work ironing out the rules and how we go about it, so please just wait a little longer!
But today we would like to share with you an image of the council hard at work!
Hard at...work? Well maybe there aren't enough swords flying around or furniture being tossed, but one look at the Archdukes's exasperated expression should tell you all you need to know.
World Arcana Heroine Scenes (Short Summaries)
In preparation for the Energeian Council vote, we have decided to reveal the heroines chosen for the World Arcana, plus a short scene summary of them to help inform possible council decisions!
Exciting news indeed! Let us begin!
Milia
Law Route (2 scenes)
TheCrimson Beauty Milia: That one where Milia gets excited over Theo becoming a Shota. So she was a shotacon after all...
After the end of the Civil War in Alhazred, Milia decided to dress up for the occasion. However, it would appear that some rebel remnants infiltrated the venue, and Theofrad ended up cursed as a result. Milia managed to clear out the rebels, but after seeing Theofrad turn into a shota as a result of the curse, her heart started to race, and then...
Marksman Captain Milia: During a routine mission, Milia has a secret rendesvous with Theo...
After defeating the final boss, 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 the research room and happened to hear some...unsavory noises coming from within.
Chaos Route (1 Scene)
SorcerousAngel Milia: A netori* scene where you take the girl from...A Law Route Theofrad from another world?
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.
*Netori is a sub-tag for the Netorare (NTR) tag, wherein we follow the perspective of the person who takes the girl. This does not go against the rules as the person taking the girlis Theo, even if the person being taken from is...also Theo.
Kukul
Law Route (1 Scene)
MythicElfPrincess Kukul: Theofrad decides to tease a wedding dress clad Kukul with tentacles.
Now that the fighting is over, the Mikos return to their respective countries. In Kukul's hometown, a wedding ceremony with the spirits was to be held, and Theofrad was invited to bear witness to it. However, a boring ceremony with nothing interesting happening was a bit too much for his...tentacles.
Mary
Law Route (1 Scene)
SwimsuitPirate Queen Mary: Teasing a swimsuit-clad Mary with tentacles.
Mary, the pirate princess, has joined the team. However, Theofrad was not satisfied with how things ended up, and still wants to tease her in some way. Therefore, he handed her a swimsuit with tentacles embedded in them, and had her attend a meeting in that outfit...
Tamamo
Chaos Route (Technically 2 scenes)
SyntheticDivine Beast:
Part a) Mindbreaking Experiment resulting in loss of personality
Part b) Mindbroken Tamamo became a MSGK*
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.
*Nope, not explaining it here. Look it up.
Carmilla
Chaos Route (Technically 2 scenes)
AwakenedHoly Mother Carmilla:
Part a) Carmilla turning into a goddess through the sacrifice of her zealous worshippers
Part b) Breaking the Goddess Carmilla with tentacles.
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...
Vanilla
Law Route (1 Scene)
Brideof Twilight Vanilla: A loving scene with Vanilla in a wedding dress
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.
Teria
Chaos Route (1 scene)
PureSinister Dragon Teria: Teria, clad in a lovely white wedding dress, exposes her dark side to everyone.
After having won the conflict between himself and the 5 Miko alliance, he 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...
Ash
Law Route (Technically 2 scenes)
MartyrAsh:
Part a) With his tentacles, Theofrad imprints a new object of worship in her mind
Part b) Enjoy Ash being dressed as a pious nun, but with restraints and other such accessories on her.
Although presumed dead, Ash was found in a near death state by Theofrad and co. after the battle. Her intense fanaticism and zealotry when it came to Bahamut interested Theofrad, and he had her captured and hauled back to Energeia in order to experiment with her, possibly changing the object of her worship to benefit Energeia.
Turia
Chaos Route (1 Scene)
Twin-BladeCarnage Turia: On the surface, just an intimate moment shared between Theo and Turia.
After the battle with Theurgia ended, Theo decided on a whim to repair Turia. Reprogramming the youngest sister of the trio and registering himself as her master, she becomes infatuated with him, even though he only sees her as a useful tool of war and body for experimentation.
We hope that these summaries managed to ignite all of your imaginations, and that you will look forward to seeing the scenes in the final game! Design Drafts and such will be introduced in future updates as well!
*These summaries are written based on a draft written by/together with the backer, and is subject to change (minute or not) during development of the actual scene. We thank you for your understanding regarding this point.
Sub-Heroines Selected for Flower Scenes
Hmm? Whatever do you mean?
Well, if you took a look at the list of sub-heroines, as well as the units available to be chosen for Flower scenes, you might notice that members of Theo's bodyguard squad are available to be chosen. Well, some backers certainly have not passed up the opportunity to give them a Flower scene, so we would like to quickly inform you all who was chosen!
Nocturne Blade
The Love and Respect of the Loyal Nocturne Blade
The leader of the Energeian Royal Guard, also know as Theofrad's personal bodyguards, the Nocturne Blade. Cool-headed and loyal to the bone, she pledged herself to Theofrad. However, hidden inside her heart are feelings that may surpass that of just respect or admiration...
Nocturne Scholar
The Nocturne Scholar, getting used to some tentacle loving
As the head scientist in Energeia, the Nocturne Scholar, having recently gotten over her fear of Tentacles, almost finds herself craving their embrace...? How this came to be, is something that can be explained in a very recent memory...
Horustaur
Horustaur Milk Production Experiment!
As the population of Energeia continues to grow, Theo had to give some thought to the nutrition of the Arcane Avatars. It was there that the Horustaur who was in charge of Agriculture and food production in Energeia decided to put her body on the line to fix this problem.
Ether Wisp
Early Experiment Logs regarding the Arcane Avatar Project
The trump card of Energeia, the Arcane Avatar Project...Even today, Energeian forces search for females with a high rate of adaptability. However, the only reason this theory was considered feasible rather than discarded as theoretical was thanks to the cooperation of Theofrad's loyal bodyguards.
Ah, it's nice to see Theofrad's bodyguards all get some love and time to shine as well!
There are unfortunately still 2 bodyguards of his that have not been chosen for a scene, but hey, the Council Vote means there is still a chance for them to get some love as well!
Now then, we hope that these scene summaries have been an interesting read for you guys! For any Council Voters, first comes the character vote, and after the heroines are decided, then comes the scene suggestion stage...We most certainly hope these scenes have inspired you to think of an amazing scene idea as well!

★Chinese Notice Included (新增 有关中文版/中文使用者的注意事项)
Full title: Backerkit Surveys Sent & Pre-Order Store is Open + VBHI Limited Goods Re-run Sale Details + Other Important Notices Regarding Backerkit
--------------------
Good day, folks!
A packed update today, to be sure, so let us get started!
Backerkit Surveys & Pre-Order Store
As promised, today is the 15th of September and so today, we will be sending out BACKERKIT SURVEYSto every Kickstarter backer, as well as open up the Pre-Order Store!
So for everyone who backed us on Kickstarter, please check your EMAIL for the BACKERKIT SURVEY! We would certainly appreciate a speedy response, as without the backerkit survey being answered, we won't be able to send you your rewards!
***IMPORTANT***
For anyone who lives somewhere where the address can be written in another language, we would like to ask that you please write your name and address down in English Alphabet.
The reason we ask is because our system for tracking and sending physical orders overseas can only read English or Japanese addresses.
For example, if you live in Germany, and you write something like Straße (Street) in your address, the address cannot be properly read and recorded.
If you live in China, Taiwan or any such country other than Japan that does not even use alphabet, writing the address in that format will also result in errors.
The final deadline for answering the Backerkit survey is December 15th 2022(Midnight JST), though we definitely would appreciate a prompt reply!
Time-Limited Add-Ons will only be available for purchase until October 10th(Midnight JST), so if you were interested in getting any of them, definitely do so as soon as possible!

What to do if you can't find your Backerkit Survey
On our end, it says the surveys have already been sent out to everyone, so if you aren't seeing the email in your inbox, then it is either in the junk folder, spam folder, or the settings you have on what kind of emails you receive is not allowing the email to go through.
First of all, please check your junk and spam folders for the email.
If that does not work, then please access this site:
And type in the email you used to back the Kickstarter with, and they should re-send you the email.
If you are still unable to receive the email, please review the settings you have set on incoming emails to allow emails from @s.backerkit.com (specifically "[email protected]") and try again.

Backerkit Smoke Test + VBHI Goods Announcement / バッカーキットスモークテスト + VBHIグッズに関するお知らせ
over 1 year ago
– Tue, Sep 13, 2022 at 06:59:02 AM
*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, folks!
A few things we would like to cover today, so let us get started without any further delay!
First of all, the Backerkit smoke test...What exactly do we mean by that?
Well, how it works is that, before we can send the Backerkit survey out to every backer, we are required to do a 'Smoke Test' to confirm there are no problems with the content of the survey. As such, we will begin the test before the 15th and approximately 5% of backers from every pledge level will be sent a smoke test survey.
This survey is the same as the one that will be sent to everyone else, so in a way, you're basically just getting it early. If you do get it, we would certainly appreciate a speedy response!
Everyone else should be getting their survey on the 15th (JST), basically in a couple of days as planned!
Oh yes, and the pre-order store also goes live on the same date as the survey date!
VBHI Goods Limited Sale
VBGI Goods Limited Sale? Whatever do you mean?
Well...
Due to popular demand, we will be having a re-run sale of a SELECT FEW ITEMS from the VBHI Kickstarter Project.
Do keep in mind that because this was a limited print run for the VBHI KS, what we are selling basically amounts to the stock we had leftover, so they are only available in VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES.
So...Yeah, FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.
These Add-ons will only be made available about a week from this update (Around the 20th or so) to keep things fair, since some people get the Smoke Test and have an advantage of getting the survey early and all that.
There will be more information on item availability and other such more detailed information on the next update, so do keep an eye out for it!
World Arcana 11th Selected Character / 運命のアルカナに選ばれた11人目のヒロイン

*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, folks!
Just a quick and simple update
World Arcana 11th Heroine
Now, some of you might have seen that, near the very end of the Kickstarter period, the number of World Arcana Backers ticked up by 1! That's right, we have another scene being made for a Heroine!
Now then, who was picked for a scene? Well, that would be...
"I was chosen once again? I see... I will do my best to live up to your expectations!"
Milia Elifard!
Once more, the 'Main Heroine' of GAIA has been chosen for a scene, bringing her total scene count from World Arcana backers to 3! A number of scenes that no previous Kickstarted VB Project Heroine has reached...
Sasuga, as expected, as it is only natural...!
As one would expect from what some consider the face of GAIA!
Do look forward to finding out what kind of scenes awaits this most celebrated Holy Dragon Knight!
