*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 Asgardian Council Scene Vote!
Now then, let us begin!
*For NSFW Sumaries of the Scenes, please check out this list.
Brunhilde
Winning Scene (24.5% of the vote)
B09 My Beloved Loli Hilde Can't Be This Cute!
Summary (SFW):
Hilde becomes lolified through some means, and seeing this, Vali was reminded of old times where they were closer to him and would cutely call him onii-chan, but was surprised when she calls him that.
The lolification also seems to have reversed her memories and she is under the impression that Vali had a growth spurt before her. And at this point in time, she respected and loved him a lot as her brother.
Interested in the situation, he then decides to bring her to his bed and 'play' with his adorable little sister.
The outfit requested was the same as in the Stretch Goal Artwork.
--
Runner-Up (23.9% of votes for her scenes)
B01 125% Brynhilde
--
3rdPlace (13%)
B04 An Unexpected Visit
--
4th Place (10.3%)
B06 My (Loli) Valkyrie Idol Little Sister Can't Possibly Be This Cute
--
5th Place (8.7%)
B05 I Love You, Big Brother!
B08 Loli Goddess' Bath Service
--
That's right, spoiling the result right away with that face portrait!
That being said, can you believe the top 6 were all lolification scenes? It's almost like everyone wants a cute little sister loli version of Hilde! (Then again majority of the scenes were loli ones!)
Now then, Hilde's voting battleground was interesting. The runner-up took a very early lead and seemed insurmountable, but some votes that came in near the end built up B09 and propelled it to the top by just a very scant amount of votes.
Truly a worthy 1v1 battle between 2 popular scenes!
Linde
Winning Scene (44% of the vote)
L11 Dreams Do Come True
Summary (SFW):
Linde, who always dreamed of becoming Vali's bride...Her dream had finally come true. Now that peace had come to the land and Vali has become the new Overlord, Vali and Linde held a wedding ceremony together.
Her dream had come true, and it was as if her brother was there, watching over her, happy for his sister and best friend.
--
Runner-Up (15.2% of votes for her scenes)
L02 Sexy Dragon Maid
--
3rdPlace (10.3%)
L07 Demons can be Idols too!
--
4th Place (8.7%)
L04 Eastern Little Sister Dragon
--
5th Place (6.5%)
L09 Linde's maid service
L10 Cat in Heat Reception
--
Ah, Linde. A loving wedding ceremony of her dreams with the man she loves...How wholesome.
Now, Linde's voting landscape...Was relatively peaceful, all things considered. L11 was propelled to the top very early on and nothing else came even close to dethroning it.
The council saw a happy ending for her and their hearts united, going all in for it. Truly a remarkable event.
Nanna
Nanna
Winning Scene (23.9% of the vote)
N03 The Birth of the True Chief God?
Summary (SFW):
Despite deciding to become a proper subordinate goddess to Vali, she sees the other goddesses and loses confidence in herself. She wants to be more useful to Vali, and tries out the key that he always uses on himself.
As such, she transforms into a transcendent form of the Chief God, with a glamorous body and becoming an adult...At least, in form.
Nanna is happy, but as she is still a child on the inside, and she struts about as innocently as usual. However, seeing such a defenseless woman who is unaware of the effect she has on others, she causes people around her to be troubled by this new form.
--
Runner-Up (22.3% of votes for her scenes)
N01 Like Spiritual Mother, Like Spiritual Daughter
--
3rdPlace (19.6%)
N04 Becoming a Wife, Becoming a Mother.
--
4th Place (7.1%)
N08 Bow Before the Might of the Ultimate Idol Nanna!
--
5th Place (6.5%)
N02 Nana's Soapland Funland
N07 A Secret Private Lesson
--
Ooh, 'True' Nanna, just like her predecessor Odin. Considering we never really got a proper adult form for her in the base game, it's interesting to see it come true here.
Nanna's voting landscape, now this...This was a true battlefield. Chaos all over.
N01 took an early lead but was heavily contested by both N03 and N04. For a short time N04 took the top spot, but N01 promptly stole it back, before N03 barrelled in near the end after staying in a steady 3rd place, proceeding to take the top spot.
From what we can tell, N01 was heavily supported by the western voters while N04 had a strong domestic backing. Meanwhile, N03 had steady support from both sides, so perhaps it was natural that it would win out over the one-sided votes of the other 2.
Certainly a voting battleground to remember!
Sigyn
Winning Scene (33.3% of the vote)
S02 The Succubus' Gratitude
Summary (SFW):
The night after Sigyn said her goodbyes to her old home, a mysterious girl enters Vali's room. Using a secret succubus technique, she turned into a younger form, and is wearing a dress from her younger days.
She wants to thank him for giving her life new meaning, and by thanks she means what succubi do best.
--
Runner-Up (32.8% of votes for her scenes)
S01 Milking The Cow
--
3rdPlace (13.3%)
S05 Loli Sigyn Disciplining
--
4th Place (8.9%)
S07 Overlord of Light
--
5th Place (6.1%)
S03 A Longshot!? The Dawn of the Super Sexy Succubus Idol!
--
Interesting that the Succubus would get a loving scene, eh? Oh and would you look at that, it was obviously a lolification scene! Perhaps it winning was only natural.
A somewhat similar voting pattern to Brunhilde, S01 started off strong with a huge backing, but then more and more votes went into S02 which eventually propelled it just barely into 1st place.
The difference in votes between 1st and 2nd were oh so very, very small indeed. Truly a hard fought win for S02.
Vidar
Winning Scene (46.1% of the vote)
V06 Another Ending
Summary (SFW):
****SPOILER HEAVY SCENE, SKIP IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS****
This is the story of an alternate ending to the climactic battle between Vali and the Overlord Loki. Unable to keep control of his newfound power, Vali dies in the battle against Loki, and his beloved partner, Vidar, has disappeared.
Some speculate that she followed Vali into the afterlife, while some believe she is hiding somewhere. And thus, the world enters a new era of peace, ruled over by the Overlord Loki once more.
One day, Loki received a report that his daughter Vidar was found alive. Loki rushed to the scene to verify the report, but finds that Vidar, having lost the love of her life Vali, has gone completely insane, and that she is forced to do unsavoury things as reparations for the many atrocities that she committed by Vali's side.
Despite the harsh treatment she is subjected to, she seems...Happy. In her insanity, she has come to see her tormentors as her beloved Vali, and happily accepts all of their orders as she would her beloved Vali.
Loki contemplates ending her miserable existence, as such a fate does not befit her...But he is unwilling to let his daughter die a second time, and despite it being all in her head, she is at least able to be with her beloved Vali once more. And so, Loki decides to let her be happy, whatever form it may take, and leaves her to her new fate.
****SPOILERS END HERE****
--
Runner-Up (20.6% of votes for her scenes)
V07 The Demon Princess' Amazing Lesson
--
3rdPlace (11.1%)
V04 The Blood of the Chief God Succumbs to the Overlord
--
4th Place (8.9%)
V02 Demon Princess' One Day Reverse-Bunny Work Experience
V05 A Cursed Tool, Now just a Doll
--
Ah...A somewhat unfortunate end for Vidar, the new girl. Perhaps a fitting end after all the suffering they will bring in the Chaos route.
Surely the world will also benefit from this ending, with a true Overlord back to steer things in the right direction. So...Rather than calling it a bad end, perhaps it is best called...Another Ending.
Interestingly, V01 has a strong following early on, but it eventually got buried by an avalanche of votes for V06 as well as the runner-ups. As such, V06 being the winner was decided somewhat early on.
Whether people just wanted to watch Vidar suffer after the success she saw in the campaign, or perhaps they simply wanted a good ending for the old protagonist turned deuteragonist... We may never know.
Kobold Fencer
Winning Scene (38% of the vote)
K06 Exciting First Time!
Summary (SFW):
A beastwoman who was born into a noble family, her one weakness is how easily she falls in love. Despite this, she has never given her body over to any male she has fancies, but this wasn't the case when Vali, a really bad boy, managed to cajole her into getting with him.
--
Runner-Up (26.1% of votes for her scenes)
K05 The Worries of the Fluffy Bodyguard
--
3rdPlace (14.1%)
K03 For the Price of Bread? A Beastgirl Sold for Cheap
--
4th Place (10.9%)
K01 Strip Fencing
--
5th Place (6.5%)
K02 Fencer in Heat
--
Always fun to see a scene that delves deeper into the story of how the bodyguard came to work for Vali! And it helps build some character for a character that didn't factor into the story terribly much to begin with.
Similarly to Hilde and Sigyn, this was a decidedly heated 1v1 battle between the winner and runner-up. It was a deadlock until the very end where, on the last day, a huge vote dump came in for K06 which propelled it to the top rather handily.
Empusa
Winning Scene (45.7% of the vote)
E02 Climax Treatment
Summary (SFW):
Empusa tries to dissect Vali in order to perform emergency treatment on him, but Vali does not like such a 'direct' approach and casts hypnosis on her, saying that bodily contact would be the most efficient treatment method, and this succeeds. And so, enjoying himself, has her 'treat' him.
Empusa endures all of this in order to 'treat' Vali, and this session continues for quite some time.
--
Runner-Up (43.5% of votes for her scenes)
E04 The Curiosity of the Female Doctor
--
3rdPlace (8.7%)
E03 Nurse, I'm feeling stiff!
--
4th Place (2.2%)
E01 Vali's Army's Nurse
--
Ah yes, hyptonic suggestion to turn a healing session into a...'healing' session.
Still, if Vali is so injured that he actually needs emergency treatment involving cutting him up...Won't he just die or go into a coma from messing around and not allowing her to properly treat him?
Hmm...Perhaps thinking about this scene too deeply isn't recommended. Oh well.
There seems to be a lot of this 1v1 pattern in this round of voting, eh? Once again it was a dead heat between E02 and E04 with E02 narrowly squeaking out the victory at the very last second.
Now then, that's all for this update, and we hope that you all enjoyed the wild ride that was the Asgardian Council Vote! Do look forward to seeing these scenes in game!
Asgardian Council Voting List / アースガルズ評議会シーン案リストの公開

*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, folks!
Just one more day before the Asgardian Council Scene Vote begins, and just like the Round Table Vote from HI or Energeian Council from GI, we will be releasing a scene list site for everyone to view!
Even for non-voters, do take a look at what zany and awesome ideas our voters have come up with!
And, well, in the end, only one scene will win per character! I wonder which scenes those will be?
*(NSFW WARNING) Due to the nature of these scenes, the suggestions are NSFW by default and should only be viewed by those who are 18 years or older of age.
**Some, especially Vidar's scene suggestions, contain Chaos Route spoilers. Please be careful if you wish to avoid spoilers.
*Of course, only backers of the Asgardian Council and Legacy Backers may castvotes
**TheScenes were reviewed and may have undergone some changes before being put on the list
We will leave it on the list for people to read and enjoy, at the very least. Even if you try to vote for it, your vote will simply be invalidated. Thank you for your understanding regarding this situation.
If you are a voter, please read these rules very carefully:
All scenes are assigned a 'Scene Code', for example, V1 or B3 or S2 etc.
Please email us with the scene code as well as how many of your votes you wish to put into that specific scene idea.
Example: 4 Votes for V1 & 4 Votes for S4
*In the event that the winning scene proves too difficult to to fit into the game as is, be it storywise or theme wise, there is a chance that small changes will have to made to allow it to be inserted properly. We thank you for your understanding regarding this matter.
Asgardian Council Character Vote Results! / アースガルズ評議会キャラクター投票結果発表!
about 2 months ago
– Thu, Jul 25, 2024 at 12:15:40 AM
*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, folks!
Now then, it's the moment many have been waiting for, the Asgardian Council's Character Vote Results! And boy, we guarantee that you will not be able to predict the results of this vote!
The % calculations are based on total votes for heroines for the main heroine bracket, and total votes for bodyguards for the bodyguards bracket.
As a reminder, we have 3 main heroine slots available, and 2 Bodyguard slots available, so with that in mind...
Main Heroine Bracket
1st Place
Brunhilde (21.2% of total votes)
In first place, we have Brunhilde!
Wow, could this be the fabled Main Heroine power? People wanted to give the original Main Heroine some love after her position was all but usurped by the newcomer...
Either that or it was the effect of a certain Stretch Goal Image where she was noticeably...smaller.
Well, no matter, a well deserved win for our (Vali's) beloved sister!
2nd Place
Linde (14.3% of total votes)
In second place, we have a non-goddess candidate, Linde!
She was trailing behind at 4th place for most of the voting period, but some last minute votes just barely propelled her up to 2nd place!
Even the non-goddess heroines deserve some love, and our beloved Linde very much deserves this place in the spotlight as well!
Viva-la dragon girls!
3rd Place
Nanna (13.7% of the total votes)
The successor to Odin in RAGNAROK, the Chief God of a New Generation, Nanna!
She, too, was lagging behind somewhere around 4th or 6th place until some backers dumped in votes near the end, just barely bringing her up to 3rd place!
It was a close one, but I guess the voters could not resist the cute and funny (heh) Nanna and decided to band together to give her a scene!
Big Victory for Nanna! Hurray!
Sigyn(13.7% of the total votes)
Perhaps an unexpected choice, but after getting a scene from a Legacy of the Overlord backer, Sigyn is back with a vengeance, attempting to grab yet another scene by tying for 3rd place!
Well, that being said, her spot here is more or less attributed to the love of a single powerful council member, and one could say it definitely paid off with her snagging 3rd place.
Truly, one cannot underestimate these succubi, to think she'd already seduced this backer into giving her all his love and votes...
Vidar(13.7% of the total votes)
Well, well, well...Here we go again, one might say?
Because of course, Vidar, the rising star, the almighty newcomer to VBRI, Ms. "May as well be the Main Heroine at this point", has once again clawed her way into the spotlight, tying for 3rd place and vying for another scene to add to the long list of scenes that already await her from other backers!
Truly, her popularity knows no bounds. She already got the record of 'most new scenes attributed to a single heroine' which was once held by Milia from G before this, and now, she is set to get another.
Like mother like daughter, I suppose. The Chief God towers above all, and her daughter has certainly dominated in gathering loyal followers who would give her scenes and votes.
So...Wait...What?
A THREE-WAY TIE for 3rd place? Oh dear, whatever shall we do?
Eh, well, what can you do, I suppose. It'd be a true shame for all 3 to have gotten enough support to qualify for one of the slots, only for 2 to have to be shoved off.
Therefore...
WE WILL GIVE ALL 3 IN 3rd PLACE A NEW SCENE!
Ah, but that's not all...
6th Place
Ullr (13.2% of the total votes)
A decent showing by the beloved idol, Ullr, but alas, she fell short of 3rd place by just a paltry single vote...!
But do not despair, Ullr fans, for your beloved idol has been given a second chance!
That is correct, as a super duper super super super special service to all of our beloved fans for all of your love and support...
Ullr, who fell short of getting a scene by only a single vote, WILL ALSO GET A NEW SCENE!
However, as Ullr will be getting a new scene as a special case this time around, the content of her scene will be decided by Ninetail and she will not be part of the scene vote.
...Which brings the total up to 6 whole new scenes for the Main Heroine category, and this also means that every main goddess in RAGNAROK will get a new scene! How fitting.
However, this time is a rather special case, and this is more of an exception that we are making to make things more exciting for our fans who have supported us all this time.
In future Kickstarters, we will set proper rules on how to handle things when heroines end up tying for a scene spot...
But that has nothing to do with the current vote.
More scenes are always welcome, would you not agree?!
Oh and for those who are curious, here are the placements for 7th and below:
Fana (7.4%)
Jorm (1.7%)
Heimdall (0.5%)
Bodyguards Category
The Bodyguards did not see that much of a fierce voting battlefield, a few backers spared some votes for them and pushed 1st place way over the others.
1st Place
Kobold Fencer (71.4% of total votes)
The fluffy and cute kobold fencer won 1st place with an overwhelming 70% of the total votes that went towards bodyguards!
She is kind of the face of the bodyguards, in some way, so perhaps it was a natural outcome.
And hey, cute is justice, no?
2nd Place
Empusa (14.2% of total votes)
That bloody white coat combined with those massive...weapons she carries around with her makes for quite the combination.
But hey, despite how she looks, she is a very dedicated healer who just wants to see you well...even if she has to resort to extreme measures.
She won 2nd by a very small margin, but again there weren't many votes spared to the bodyguards so maybe that isn't saying much.
And those are the 2 bodyguards getting a new scene.
3rd and 4th place are as follows:
Kaathe Madmoiselle (7% of total votes)
Dhampir (7% of total votes)
Certainly an exciting update packed with a ton of information, no?
We hope that you are all satisfied with the result, because we certainly are! The amount of scenes we had planned for Main Heroines has essentially...doubled, but hey, it'll all be worth it to make an even better game for everyone!
The Scene Suggestions Voting Phase will begin soon, so any Asgardian Council Members, best start thinking about what kind of scene you'd like to see these characters in!
Information about Backerkit early locked orders + Limited Goods Information / 早めのバッカーキット請求&ロックについて + 限定グッズの情報

*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, everyone!
Some important information about Backerkit today, so please do give this a careful read!
Some of you might have noticed that your orders were charged early and locked.
The reason for this is that, the yen seems to be recovering somewhat, and we wanted to charge your cards while the yen was relatively weaker to lessen the financial burden on our backers.
However, due to some systematic restrictions on Backerkit's end, we are unable to unlock orders after charging credit cards, and any further add-on changes require contacting support or us directly.
Due to limited goods being, well, limited in stock, we realise that contacting support would be tedious and unfair as things might sell out in the meantime.
Therefore, for anyone interested in purchasing Limited Goods as add-ons but have had their backerkit order locked, please make use of the pre-order store.
After purchasing the limited goods items you like in the pre-order store, please DM or email us your Backerkit account email so we can waive your second shipping payment/merge your orders.
Thank you, and we hope that you all are able to snag the add-ons that you all want! Don't forget that the limited goods will be put on the store tomorrow!

*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, folks!
Quite a few things to get through today indeed, so let us get started right away!
Stretch Goal #8 Achieved!
Good day, folks!
With the extra time we had allotted post Kickstarter for extra, we have hit the final Stretch Goal, SG 8!
Simply amazing. 300%...
We definitely could not have gotten this far without the love and support of each and every one of you lovely folk who backed this project!
Thank you all so very, very much!
Now, as to the content of the Final Stretch Goal...
New Personal Episode for a Main Heroine (With a new outfit, standing portrait & commander unit)
Like with Stretch Goal 4, we will be getting a new personal episode for a Heroine including the new outfit, portrait and unit!
And once again, who is chosen as well as the content of the scene will be decided by the Asgardian Council.
With this, we have gotten all the Stretch Goals that give us new scenes...Or, well, literally every Stretch Goal that exists for this project!
Once again, thank you all so very much, and we hope you will continue to tune back for future updates where we are sure to have interesting information to share as development progresses!
Asgardian Council Voting Period
Now that we have the last stretch goal in the bag, everyone should know the total number of characters who will be able to get scenes, we are sure many want to know when the voting period will begin!
Well the schedule will be as follows:

Time-Limited Rewards Sales Period
Now then, time-limited goods, things that involve making any sort of content with us, essentially.
We said it would last 1 month past the end of the Kickstarter Project, but a slight delay in sending out the surveys required us to make changes to the schedule.
The new sales period for Time-Limited Goods will be as follows:
Start Date:
13th July (12pm JST): Planned date for all surveys and the pre-order store to go live. (Smoke Tests have already been sent out)
>
End Date:
27th July (1159 pm JST): Planned end-date for Time-limited Rewards
If you were interested in rewards such as Rebirth, Flower of the Battlefield, or the Tentacle Gate (Memories of Yggdrasil) for backers that qualify, this is your last chance to pick them up! The Shikishi related rewards are also part of this time-limited bracket, so please make a choice you will not regret!
Limited Goods Announcement
Not time-limited, but limited stock goods, basically.
We have received some requests for the re-sale of some goods from the previous Kickstarter, and we found surplus stock for some items, and we have decided to sell them on the Backerkit and Pre-order store, while stocks last!
These items will be added to the Backerkit Add-on store and pre-order store on the 20th of July at 12pm JST.
