The Voice Actress of Memorimo and Illuzoha blesses us with an amazing official song! The requirement to unlock Illuzoha in game is to listen to her song from the Collab Area.
Which brings us to:
CV: Tanja Tjong
A fabulous singer Maidbot built for entertainment and fun, though she constantly goes in an out of true sentience, which causes her to transform.
Her transformation can be triggered by grazing and shooting, she will turn into a neutral unit, capable of hurting the enemy as well as you, if you manage to contain her, you can regain her control with her new power intact.
CV. Rebecca Danae
The pride of the Tomboy Mine and honorary member of Trash Bandits L.L.C. This Maidbot was commissioned by one of our players, Bgundam2018b
J.J. is a tomboy from the Tomboy Mine...uuhh, she brings a new melee+AoE style to the table, as well as some healing meant for long battles, she's powerful but difficult to obtain.
Saori has been broken and not in a fun way for a long time, now I made her more fun while keeping her style. I completely remade her kit.
Illustrious received a generous healing buff, her bomb area is now double so that she can compete against the newer hard to catch enemies, she also comes with new voice lines by Rachel Herring.
Now the map offers the essential info, the minimap is also more efficient, using the map will now PAUSE the game, IT WAS ABOUT TIME HUH!? Also, the enemies section was removed because...
The Archive is now better, easier to use and has links to a complete enemy database with lots of info.
UI everywhere has suffered changes and upgrades, now the main hub is easier to read, and added a challenges area with key locations and objectives. The Collab Area has also changed a bit.
Added the Clanker Barrel, which already existed on mobile.
AI of ALL ENEMIES has been reworked to improve performance, they will also spawn at random on orange zones and beyond with intensity depending on how far you are in the map.
Full of bio-mechanical monsters, a new area with terrifying difficulty, 11 new enemies and a new epic boss.
Thank you for your support, this was not a great year for me, but I am happy I can end it with an update, this update isn't so big in terms of new content, but the game is now of higher quality than it was on September.
I am very blessed to have all of you, I know I have been behind schedule and couldn't make it to deadlines, but I promise you I try my hardest.
Thank you again, and happy new year, I hope next year is the best for you, do your best.
Love

Vicky is a Collab character that wasn't scheduled to go live today, however, the real Vicky is having some difficult times so I figured we could do something to help her out, as she has been a massive supporter of the project and gave the game a platform on YouTube when we have absolutely zero presence there.
Vicky pretends to be a cat girl, a vampire and also a robot for some reason.
Vicky is a vlogger who larps as a catgirl, she has the power of summoning cats out of nowhere and she throws them at enemies, the cats themselves seem to be indestructible and can pierce the toughest armor, she falls asleep in random places and is guarded by her two cats, Raleigh and Jinx.
She also pretends to be a streamer even though she’s just a vlogger who never streams. She claims to be from the United States of America, a fictional country she probably knows from comic books.
Vicky's cats can bounce and hurt multiple enemies, her swarm can also be redirected while it's active, gameplay is not as simple as it sounds but she's easy to use.
You can get Vicky by going to the Collab Area and visiting her banner.
Vicky has a tough situation going on, so I decided to turn this crisis those who help will be entitled to some rewards including a shiny, super cute unique skin that I will be producing this week, the skin will be awarded through a new system, redeem codes!
Redeem codes will be helpful for all kinds of interactive rewards and special events.

The champion has arrived! Invincible is the most delayed Maidbot of Gen 2, and I'm very sorry for that, so I ask you please pay special attention to her, I made her very special!
Invincible is an advanced endgame Maidbot that you can find somewhere in the Tomboy Mine, she rewards aggressive playstyles, so prepare your builds accordingly, her unique skill lets you stay alive after hitting 0 HP for a short while, if you manage to recover, you get to survive, this feature enables you to rush to execute bosses during their second phase to secure victory, use this unique ability wisely!
Find more info about her in the Archive!
Our silly internet vampire is looking more precious than ever and she comes with a buff or two, you'll love her, go check her out!
Remember you can find all the art and even some transparents in the Secret Maidbot Folder
We have that now! yey? The whole game allows you to play using a controller now, it was highly requested so I decided to just go for it now.
I've faced some serious challenges in this time, for those who are not up to date with the news, the studio split after a serious financial crisis, it's been very tough to keep this running, the game was also delisted from a certain other platform(not even sure if I can reference that here) which has reduced its visibility.
These problems however, opened oportunities, and I found new allies and friends, some of you may have noticed that the project now has a publisher, Moz the Tiger.
Moz has helped give the project some reach by getting it on different platforms, for those who don't know, you can play this on android! The PC version is updated more frequently however because it costs money, but you can carry your save.
To compare, that version is missing 2 Maidbots and no Tomboy Mine.(Maidbot game lite?)
Moz has been a real pal and I know that he shares my interest to give you the game you want, so don't worry, nothing sketchy or greedy is gonna happen as result of this alliance.
I made some other friends, some of them you'll get to know soon(maybe in the splash screen at the beginning) and we are gonna be preparing some unique Maidbots together.
Thank you so much to everyone who supported me in this difficult time, my players and this community are my treasure, and it doesn't matter what happens, I'll never let this project go.

First of all, I'm sorry that I come to you with bad news, we all play games to take a break from stressful things and just have fun or kill some time, and I get that, I'm not gonna do this again, but I want to put this out there in case anyone can give me a hand.
My Director got scammed at his work and needs to cover legal costs and pay employees.
He has a construction company and the one contract he has active has pulled out all funding, claiming the goals have not been met which is simply not true, he doesn't have enough money to pay for salaries that the workers families need as much as anyone.
We have one week to figure this out, if by next weekend we cannot cover the costs, he will have to step down from the project.
i'm already at my limit in terms of workload, the original song's MV, the volume 2 of the manga, and the very needed update to *monetization and release on Google Play and all of this happening at once, if I also have to do the administrative part of the job production will slow down and making a stable income will not be possible.
I added some ways in which you can help in the website, even for free by sharing a post and you'll get something from it.
Everyone helping out (even those with no money) will be credited in the game and in the next volume of the physical manga.
From all of you, one will be chosen to create a Maidbot that I will design following your instructions 100% free and she will become a playable character just like the others.
The New Maidbot will be featured in the back cover of the next volume of the physical manga with a special thanks to the person who designed it.
You can enter this campaign by checking the details in my website here: Support
For those who don't follow me on Twitter/X, you may not know this but work is getting done:
The first Maidbot to go live designed by a player will be J.J. and she already has a voice.
The volume 2 of the manga is in production.
The original song is finished! and the MV is almost done, release is imminent, the shong will be tied to the new Maidbot, Illuzoha, who of course, is voiced by the singer.
A new surprise Maidbot to come, Shotgun Wizard, already has a voice also and its in late stage of production, this character will be released with home screen interactions available.
*Future monetization changes: Due to many reasons, mainly because I don't like giving different versions uneven treatment, I think I should make this game free to play, ad free on Steam of course, but have some ads on the Play Store on mobile, it's too early to tell if its the right choice or not but I am open to hear your opinion on the matter and I will always decide putting what players want first.
(The game is already f2p on android but with slower updates than PC)
Thank you for reading, sorry that it wasn't such a happy post, I hope you have a good day.

The home screen feature let's you choose a Guardian Maidbot for the home screen, while in the home screen you can interact with her and you get a special buff, so setting your Guardian Maidbot could pootentially help you in different situations once this feature has a few maids in it, for now we only got Ark Royal taking advantage of the fact she's been needing a rework for a while to actually feel like an Ultra.
This is a trial feature so let me know what you think and also which Maidbot(s) you want to see come first and which alternate outfits you would like them to use, they will be wearing different clothes yeah.

The Tomboy Mine will work a little different than the other districts, here's some info about it:
Specialized raccoons will now take you to a new location, Tomboy Mine West, right where the boss spawns, provided you've reached the area once already, it will cost you 100 alfajores to travel, but as I mentioned earlier, beating the boss will give you 3000, this gives you more chances with FAZZ!

She was made to be a gag character, but players always gave her attention and brought her to bosses for fun, so, I decided to give her a nice update, you can still blow yourself up, but you have a chance to optimize her!
Her projectiles deal no damage, but heal you a generous ammount, so you may want to add some extra damage with rockets, maybe help her heals with the energetic buff?
Her nuke has a very short cooldown, this means you can deal a lot of damage but this also means a higher risk for yourself, the short cooldown synergizes well with Arris Countermeasures buff.
Her new unique ability, Nuclear Winter, makes you deal more damage to bosses on stage 2, stage 2 bosses usually have less HP but stronger attacks, execute them faster before they can kill you.
I know players are suffering, here's some ways out:

Hey dear players! Feel free to skip to tl;dr at the bottom if you don't feel like reading this novel!
It's been a wild ride and the game changed a real lot since the first days of early access, I took action every time the community told me something was bad, good or broken.
I'm gonna tell you what the plan was when I started, which is something I told some people privately but I never openly said, the plan was to just take this attitude, and keep making the game bigger until is way too big to ignore.
This week, after the launch on Steam and on Android a few players have been very vocal, which has helped immensely, and it's been recommended by a journo, so there's that!

The thing is, I've reached a point where expansion has stopped in terms of players, to keep this game profitable I need to ask you for your feedback, opinions, complaints, everything.
Don't be shy, and don't pull your punches (or the praise, if that's what you got!)
A game is as good as it treats its community, I need more talk online, so that YouTubers finally notice this thing, so that press also chooses to pick it up.
There is (currently) only one YouTuber making content for the game, so check out Vicky Spade: https://www.youtube.com/@VickySpade
The game is severely lacking in guides, unfortunately, I don't have the time to put these together myself because it's time I feel it's better used into implementing the things player want into the game, and in all honesty, it always feels like a race against time to keep a small studio like this running, I've been trying to send it to appstores, dealing with bureocracy, trying to find better strategies to market it, it's just too much.
With how complex the game is getting, and the many builds possible with the Maidbots and buffs/upgrades/adoption, the playstyles are growing more varied than even I can figure out
I'm not complaining though, this is what I wanted, it's actually a dream come true.
Thank you for reading and playing, I appreciate you all, back to production! I'm working on the new collab Maidbot as I write this.

This is an enormous update that puts the game in a different league in terms of quality, not much has been added in terms of new features, but a lot has been added in terms of game experience and quality of life, and it opens the doors for amazing things in the future.
Now you can download the Android version in the official website, it is being sent to appstores right now, but so far the game is available to download in TapTap and as a standalone APK.
The save files that you generate with your registered account will be usable in all versions of the game, so you can play it on PC and Mobile under the same account.
Thanks to Vicky Spade for showing the mobile game!
The Mobile game plays exactly like any twin stick shooter, controls very easily and it's very straightforward.
You can set a name for your character and register using an email and password, you will be required to confirm your email, if you lose your password, you can tell me and I will let you set a new one, I plan on setting an automated password recovery system however.
As it stands VD2MA is at 1.0, so both versions are very similar except for the player having access to the bridge in the Steam version, the bridge is not necessary for the game as its uses have all been transferred to Hex's dialogue screen, the game saves automatically, which is something players have been asking me for ages, and Maidbots are crafted automatically as their requirements are met.
The reasons for this are two, making the game's operation simple and reworking the bridge into a new community area, the plan is to give it a new look and use it for Kickstarter NPCs, I didn't have any room left for them before, but now I am working to accomodate the area so I can add more of them.
The Mobile version is FREE TO PLAY, and probably will only have ads to support itself, as of right now it doesn't have ads, but don't worry, I promise to not make them invasive, I will probably make them just optional for specific rewards that don't impact balance. I am a gamer like you, I know what bothers you so, I won't go to those places.
HOWEVER, we have to be fair, altough both versions will be updated simultaneously, the PC version costing money means that PC players will have certain additional perks, I've been thinking about things like skins for a long time, and I think this is the best time for those, cosmetics exclusive for the PC version that won't interfere with how the mobile players play.
Right now this is primarily a sandbox game, but the reworked story will be PC exclusive.
Canon events have changed, now the game introduces Arris as a pilot already on the Auriga, waiting for the new Officer, a character the player will name, Arris and Hex will be assisting you now.
Once the story rework comes, it will still focus Arris, but the player will have some impact as a character as well.
As I mentioned earlier, Maidbots are crafted automatically, their requirements have been made MUCH easier because I needed to wipe save files to build this new save system, BUT, you now have cloud saves and you will never lose your progress from now on.
This also means I can keep track of which Maidbots players prefer, who beats FAZZ or reaches far in the Stygian Traverse, or even who has the most alfajores!
This means I can host competitions and events, start the tryhard mode!
You can now visit and interact with Arris, she will provide you with buffs if you get enough points, which you get by being in combat, My purpose with this system is to build a skill trees feature in future updates, so get the hang of the three possible buffs and let me know which one is your favorite so I can properly branch them!
In the collab area you now have access to all the new art in the game, I will update it regularly and upload cool pics ideal for phone backgrounds and transparent pngs!
This was all possible thanks to you and thanks to the incredible people who got my back on Kickstarter, a special thanks to Chaotic Helleaven, if you love Rika, check them out! She's got her own manga and they also have a vtuber group with many cool characters that may actually join us in the game soon.
