[h2]The new Generation will feature a new class, Battleship. A strategy based class.[/h2]

They generally have weaker stats than the regular Melee, Ranged and Support Maidbots, but they have special abilities that alter the flow of the game and maps, some can target a specific block for bombardment or artillery, some coordinate special attacks with aircraft, some will call in aircraft that drops healing items, some have special bonuses when you travel to faraway locations, you will have to configure your Battleship girl while in the Sortie screen and have precise timing for your travels.

You have a small time window to use their special effects, so plan your coordinated efforts and exercise good timing and they will reward you greatly.



You can visit our company website at https://www.bokensha.org/, here you can find some cool stuff like the Official Maidbot card list and Auditions info.

I've been talking to lots of talented VAs, there is a lot of wonderful artists excited to provide their voices for the project!
Some of them have amazingly noteworthy backgrounds, others, are underdogs of outstanding skill and rising stars, they will all get a fair shot at voicing the Battleship girls!

As always, check out my Twitter/X if you wanna learn more.

Thank you for your support, it means the world to me, if you enjoy the game, please share it and talk about it, all comments help, I always enjoy interacting with players, we need some coverage from Youtubers/Streamers, so every bit of noise we can get helps!
Most of the money I make from sales will go to production so, the game will get bigger the better it does.

With love

• Fixed some walking animation errors.
  
• Small changes to story chapter stages
  

I'm working hard and I will have some exciting news soon, thank you so much everyone for playing, make sure to check out my Twitter/X to take a peek.
New Maidbot class and major system fixes are coming soon.

Player feedback has shown this is now a game about Maidbots and Mecha, this update sets the tone for what's to come.



The game now begins at the Auriga, the player gets to meet the crew right away and jump into action, boss hunting and Maidbot crafting, we have a new intro sequence voiced by Notoh as Vitakrosis.

Hex's interface now has an updated look, its purpose is to give the player complete freedom about what they wanna do, if they want to go to collect Maidbots, they can do that, if they want to go and view the prologue and graphic novel content, they can do that too, I feel the first few minutes are important, way too important to be restricted to the prologue mission, so we have this now!

All of this doesn't mean much for players that already have a save file with all Maidbots collected though, they won't be affected and their progression is intact.



Additionally, I wanna update the art on all areas, I am far better artist than I was when I started working on this project, that is why you will find at this point a lot of art that is inconsistent in quality with other pieces, replacing all...it'll be a grind, but I am always ready for it.





Chapter 3 of Vitakrosis is under production now, it will be ready soon, for those unaware, you can read the origin of Vitakrosis here:

I wanna drive development to focus on Mecha and Maidbots, the following updates will be about including more machines to have as option other than the Hexsuit X, so you can mix with Hex's buffs and different Maidbots to get fun builds, more Maidbots of course, and to give them an active role in the story.

The feel of the game will transition from tech noir to a more 90s Mecha anime style. The game will also have some sort of change on its name, a subtitle that I haven't decided yet and a new logo, all around new feel.

Remember to follow me on Twitter/X for real time updates on development, I have commissions open and other ways you can support me, it's been a rough month to say the least, I am severely lacking on exposure, I am trying to reach out to press and Youtubers, you can also help me with feedback or sharing my content, I appreciate you all for playing and I will use every critique to make a better game.



Most...if not all...of the bugs are problems in the city and Stygian Traverse, I am working on programming a new way to proccess all these areas and its being a lot of work but it'll smash bugs like a Mar nuke, sorry for the dalay on those fixes.

Thank you.

Let's get this out of the way before I start: These won't be paid skins at any point.


With this out of the way, let me tell you what this is about, if you are here after clicking on an ad, you will be elegible for the first batch of Special Edition skins, this will alter the Maidbot card's appearance as well as the city graphics for that Maidbot.





Limited Edition skins will be decided by poll, if you want to suggest a skin for your favorite maidbot, design, or any idea for the Maidbots you want, you can participate in the Google forms poll here:

https://forms.gle/VSiBrXQY9AgXKAqY9

The first Special Edition skins will be delivered next update, IF the budget allows it, they will come with special interactions as well.



Don't be discouraged! You can earn these unique skins in future events, my game is severely lacking in exposure and coverage, so, I plan on running those as often as possible with different themes and tasks as objective, like getting very far in the Stygian Traverse, sharing a post on social media and more, ideas are welcome too.






Chapter 2 of the official manga is out! For those who don't know, I am producing also a manga with the backstory of Vitakrosis, at some point, the plot will cross in several spots with Arris' story, it is an intense and emotional fantasy story, you can read it for free here:

https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/vitakrosis-the-art-of-revenge/list?title_no=933635




The only reason I am doing this is to try and get some exposure for the game, at this point the game really needs some eyes on it, please, be vocal on your opinions, positive or negative, reviews help enormously too, everything you do will be very appreciated and every bit of money I get, as you may have noticed by now, is going back into the game. I really want this to work, thank you for reading, sincerely:
