Good day, everyone!
Some exciting news in today's update!
Continuing on from the last update, today we will be introducing more Jet-Black Hero chosen characters and their scenes! Specifically 2 more.
*Note: These design drafts were not drawn by the original artist. However, rest assured the finalised design will be done by the original artist.
Awakened Cheerful Gal : Sylvia

The younger sister of the Demon Empress Karvia, Sylvia Hamartia.
Despite being Demon royalty, she is only half-demon, and was treated as an outcast by the Demon nobility when she was younger. She was never allowed to attend the prestigious 'Empire Academy', an educational facility that young demon noblemen and noblewomen would attend.
However, she had read many books during her time in the castle, and wished not only for the opportunity to learn tactics and general education in the academy, but also for the chance to make friends, perhaps even meeting her destined prince charming...Tis a dream that could never come true, a dreamlike story that exists only in the romance novels she reads.
Time passes, and the war on Helvetia rages on. Sylvia, who fought hard alongside Leonhardt, was one day handed an unknown Tactica, one that was sent by an anonymous sender...
As one might be able to tell from the rough design, looks like her dream might come true in some fashion! Do look forward to the actual scene!
The Mini Mad-Scientist : Eleanore

One day, during her research...Eleanore discovered a potent medicine that reverses the aging process. As per usual, any new breakthrough means immediate experimentation, and she began testing the solution on lab animals. While she was observing one of these animals, her assistant Tetra came into the lab with some freshly brewed coffee...Only to trip and fall, causing the cage holding the animal to break open. Once it was free, it began its rampage around her Elea's lab. During the subsequent fallout, Elea was bitten by the animal, and as a result, she regressed in age and shrunk in height.
Despite this, Elea remained unfazed, and was rather fascinated by what was happening to her body. As she was about to begin further research into the phenomenon, she was greeted by Leonhardt, who just so happened to pick that day to come over and inspect her lab...
And so, we get a loli version of Eleanore...The ideas some of our fans come up with are truly spectacular, wouldn't you agree? Do look forward to the actual scene!
Tentacles of the Round Pre-Voting Period
As mentioned in the previous update, despite the proper voting period beginning on November 6th, we will be contacting the voters early.
You can cast your votes within this time period, though the results will only be calculated and announced to voters on the dates listed on the schedule.
Please remember that if you miss the voting deadlines listed on the voting schedule, you will not be able to cast your vote for that specific step of the voting process, and we will not accept requests for refunds for lost votes.
The main purpose of this early contact is to ensure that we can reach our voters via the messaging methods we have available to us, as we would like to avoid situations where our voters were unable to participate due to problems with our methods of communication.
Therefore, once you receive the Kickstarter message or Email from us, please provide us with a speedy response. You do not have to let us know your vote until the actual date on the schedule, but we would appreciate a reply. Even a simple "I'd like more time to think" or "I'll let you know during the voting period" response would be greatly appreciated.

Great news, but most likely not the information most of you want to see the most, yes?
You all read that title, and you want to know about the latter section, right?!
Well...Here you go! A simple introduction to 2 of the chosen characters and their scenes!
Beachside Dragon Lord Bride: Julia
Courtesy of the Jet-Black Hero 「Expecting YOU!」
Story:
The war that engulfed Helvetia has ended. Following those events, Leonhardt has settled down in the Country of Dragons, Archlond, which is currently ruled by a Julia who was trapped in a soul cage and eventually awakened by Leonhardt. One day, while she was busy with the internal administration of Archlond, she remembers that she had never gone on a honeymoon with her beloved Leonhardt, and hastily and giddily began to make plans for their perfect honeymoon, while Leonhardt remains wary, remembering the one time she had resisted the power of the soul cage. In a swirl of emotions filled with expectation and trepidation, what awaits the two at the resort that is to be the location for their honeymoon...?
Do look forward to seeing how Leon and Julia's honeymoon plays out!
Fairy Dragon Princess: Liese
Courtesy of the Jet-Black Hero "R-amber"
Story:
The war on Helvetia continues...One day, the young princess of Archlond, Liese, found that her body had undergone a bit of an unusual change. Having deferred the case to the royal physician, even he was forced to throw in the towel when faced with a case he had no way of fixing. Liese's body...Had shrunk in size, with no discernable cause. Although this would normally cause one panic, the reduced weight from the smaller body size allowed Liese's underdeveloped wings to function as originally intended, allowing her to soar high into the sky! However, all this fuss caused Leonhardt no small annoyance, and he decided to just pluck her out of the air, and proceeded to 'teach' her not to be so noisy...
Now, considering that you can see in the height comparison bit of the picture that she has...Shrunk somewhat, this is sure to be an interesting scene! Do look forward to it!

*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, everyone!
Just a quick update today.
As you can tell by the title, this update is to help those of you who are unable to 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.
If all else fails, then please contact us. As a last resort, we will reply you with a personalised url to access your backerkit survey. Note that this process may take some time if you sent the email during non working days or off hours.

We are rendered speechless. There are simply no words to express how we feel at this moment.
The final stretch goal, stretch goal #6, 300% funding...We actually did it, we actually made it!
You guys are just amazing. The best fans ever, and we mean it. Honestly, we never thought we'd make it all the way to 300%, but here we stand corrected.
You guys are amazing, and we love each and every one of you who supported us on this amazing journey!
Now then, the final stretch goal is similar to Stretch Goal #3, and the content that comes is as follows:
1) A Completely New Character!
A new character that was not present in the original VBH will be added to the game! Do look forward to who it will be, and what they will add to the story!
2) New Story Scene
A new story scene featuring the new character will be added to the game!
3) New Stage
A new SRPG battle stage featuring the new character will be added to the game!
4) New Common Units
New common units for use in battle will be added to the game!
5) Extra Artbook Pages!
The artbook will now contain an extra 8 pages, with no extra cost to our backers! This will, of course, stack with the amount of extra pages we got from the previous stretch goals!
Simply amazing. There are just no other words to express it. We have reached the final stretch goal!
All of your support to help us make it this far is nothing short of inspiring, and we will do our utmost to repay the favour by making VBHI as great as possible!
Thank you all once again!
Backerkit Surveys & 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***
Please answer the Backerkit Survey by the 4th of November 2020, as the amount we gather at this point will be calculated towards the final stretch goal!Do note that this does indeed mean that any addons purchased and paid for by the 4th of November will be set in stone, and we will not accept cancellations past this date.Should you wish to add any extra add-ons after the 5th where we charge your cards for your Backerkit purchases, just send us a message and we will oblige aslong as the pre-order store is still up! (Except for time-limited add-ons which will disappear after the 4th)
***IMPORTANT***
For anyone who may have missed your chance to back us on Kickstarter, the PRE-ORDER STORE is for you!
You will have access to most of the pledge tiers (save for Jet-black hero and the round table tiers) and all the add-ons, including the time limited add-ons (only available until early November)! Payment is accepted either via Credit Card or Paypal.
*If you require special assistance, feel free to contact us!
*PS: Regarding the Tentacles of the Round Table voting period, we are still busy preparing for it, so please wait a little longer for more information!
VBFI Goods Limited Sale
VBFI Goods Limited Sale?
Yes, we tweeted about this yesterday, but to put it simply, due to overwhelming demand from fans, we have dug through our leftover stock of VBFI goods, and are doing a limited run/stock clearance sale of select VBFI goods!
Do keep in mind that because this was a limited print run for the VBFI 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.
We will put these goods up on the addon section and pre-order store on the 17th of October 2020 at 12:00 JST on the dot.
If you have already completed your survey, simply access your survey once again, click on EDIT YOUR ORDER, followed by EDIT YOUR ADDONS to access the add-ons page once more!
As Shown Below:

This is your FINAL chance to purchase these VBFI goodies officially, so make sure you leave no regrets!
Backerkit Smoke Test + VBHI CN Version Confirmed + Localisation Survey! / バッカーキットスモークテスト + VBHI中国語版発売決定 + ローカライズアンケート
over 3 years ago
– Fri, Oct 09, 2020 at 05:02:29 PM
*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) as planned!
VBHI Chinese Version Confirmed!
This one is more for our Chinese fans out there.
That is correct, VenusBlood HOLLOW International will be getting an official Chinese version as well! Thanks once again to the cooperation of KAGURA GAMES, we are happy to announce that yes, VBHI CN will be coming!
Ninetail Localisation Survey!
Perhaps jumping the gun a little bit, but we would certainly appreciate it if you would help us out by answering this survey of what you would like to see localised next!*
*This survey is only open to backers of theVBHI KS, if you plan to back via pre-order store or other means, please type in the name you plan to use for your backer name.
**This does not guarantee that #1 will be what we localise next, or if there even will be another Kickstarter
