Hello everyone!
Now that my shock has worn off, I'm happy to announce the survey is now out ^_^ You should receive it at your Kickstarter email address. If you'd like your Backerkit assigned email address to be something else, message us here as I have to manually edit it on my end. It will be the email address you will need access to in the future in order to retrieve all of your digital pledge rewards. It doesn't change the KS email updates though.
I've been told by the team to take a break. Their goals for me are to fix my sleep schedule, play video games to gain new ideas, and read books. So far, I've managed to touch base with artists (must find more art references) and been busy chatting with our new and lovely history and culture consultants ^^; How am I doing so far...? (I can hear my teammates and dev friends groaning through the internet).
Perhaps I should finish that Zelda BOTW game that's been halfway done since 2018... I've been steadily working on Mizuchi and Red Rebellion ever since after all ^_^; I do have a short vacation coming up, so I'll try not to work... (too much...)
Anyway~ I would like to introduce our first history consultant, an English medievalist, Thaliarchus! He'll be joining the team as a developmental editor in both story ideas and nailing down the medieval-friendly language format for the game's dialogue. His strengths will be a big help with getting the world-building accurate and helping me with finding research material. He'd like to say hello!
"Hi everyone! I'm Thaliarchus. I have a doctorate in medieval English and in my day job I teach and publish on the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries; I'm also into VNs, anime etc, so when I heard about Red Rebellion I figured I should probably lend a hand. I'll be bustling round my local legal deposit library to gather background material, and chipping in where I can to advise on the writing. I want to help the team draw on historical details, but—remembering that this is historical fantasy—without ever letting history cramp their style or block a good idea for the story. I'm excited to see this project grow!"
I've been really inspired by his gathered research material so far, which will make the scenes feel extra real :D Care to guess what this may be?
Wish us luck!

This cutie gift is from our lead artist Nalcyon! ^_^ We blasted past the stretch goals at $14950 with over 400 backers! Thank you for showing us how much faith you have in our team and project! We hope Red Rebellion becomes one of your favorites someday.
Some comments from the team:
"Thank you to everyone for their support, and we can't wait to bring Red Rebellion to life!" - Reina
"We're blown away by the love and support this has gotten, and now more than ever, we want to make the best game we can possibly make!!" - Candace
"There are more than thank you to you all... For showing your interest and even backing. Congratulations you are now in!" - Nalcyon
"WHOOHOOO!!! WE MADE IT!! The KS campaign may be done but there are more updates to come. For those of you waiting for more music, I'll be sharing some news soon. Thank you! Love you all!!! Much Love, <3" - Glim ^oo^v
"For an editor, I'm pretty bad with words when asked to present my own, haha. At the moment I don't know much more about RR than the audience does, so I'm just as excited to see how the girls' story plays out. Anyway, cheers!!" - Geck
"O_O *shocked speechless all day*" - Roxie
We forgot to share with you one last surprise. If you pledged to our Kickstarter at any tier, and sign up for our newsletter, you will receive an exclusive Red Rebellion wallpaper! It will be sent out to you via email whenever Nalcyon properly finishes the CG ^_^ It's a rather big one so it's been a challenge. It is a different image from the $5 KS exclusive wallpaper. What makes these 1920 x 1080 sized wallpapers "exclusive" is their BG colors and expression variations combination will not be available elsewhere.
You can sign up here for our sporadic bimonthly updates: Mailchimp Sign-Up
Be sure to let me know if your KS email and your newsletter email are different, so I can make a note.
We also have about 14 backers that seem to have issues with their credit cards according to KS. Be sure to get that addressed within the week if possible, so there are no delays to your perks! If you are having problems, let us know so we can discuss a plan. Our next step is to get the Backerkit set up, so we know how many Mizuchi keys to request from Steam and Itchio.
See you really soon!

350+ backers and $12K+ funding = Extra artwork stretch goal, we shall have it all! ٩(ˊᗜˋ *)و
We are also again less than $400 from reaching our 2nd Stretch Goal!! *_*
Glim would love to share these concept ideas of one of our songs he's been mulling over:
Which will make the final?! I have no idea but it looks like it's gonna sound pretty magical!
Yes, I heard from quite a number of you that the extra love scene is really tempting! (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) The $1000 and if anything beyond will be used to not only add a new scene and extra art, any leftover money will allow us to polish the other love scenes evenly too. Maybe we'll get extra images or variations...? We shall see how far we move toward that stretch goal.
Let's see if the community goal helps us move ever closer to that final goal!
With the last help from Dahlia, we hit our final goal of 3 Reddit posts! The Sexy Patch with CG images will be available at the game launch, and the Sexy Sketches Digital Booklet is now available as an add-on. Reminder again it's a KS-only special and will not be available on Backerkit or anywhere else. You all made this happen, so you have special access should you wish for it (:
We have less than 27 hours left! It'll be a close but exciting finish!

Twitter retweets have been reached! Bravo!!
The key is set, we just need one more Reddit post, thanks to the help from Zelene for #2! We are also only $400 away from our FIRST STRETCH GOAL!
Also one of the $100 Tier - Make One's Mark! has been re-released. If you wanted that digital character sketch, one lucky last individual may snatch it up now!
Here is a pretty obvious clue about who one half of a pairing you'll find in the sketch booklet is...
I'm the type of writer who writes with pure intentions... then later realizes how others may actually interpret it >_<;;; I'll just leave it be.
Carry on!
