Please keep in mind Kickstarter only gives you 7 days after the campaign to resolve the problem (Which should leave about 4 more days).
Should the problem still persist, and if contacting your bank and/or credit card issuing company doesn't resolve the problem, please make use of our Paypal Pledge system or the Backerkit Pre-order store. (Please read below for more information)
BACKERKIT
As we have mentioned in our previous update, Backerkit Surveys will be sent out to existing backers around the start of November (subject to change).
The Backerkit Pre-order store will open around the same time that will allow non-backers (As well as backers who simply cannot resolve their Credit Card Problems) to purchase add-ons and specific sets of goods included in the reward tiers!
We will only accept direct pledge payments via Paypal for the specific tiers listed below:
"Odin's Believer", "Heroic Spirit of Valhalla", "Rebirth", "Flower of the Battlefield", "Demonic Hero", "Demon Emperor's Succession Candidate", "The King's Companion", "The Overlord's Harem", "Untold Tales of Yggdrasil".
For these tiers, please contact us with the specific tier you wish to pledge to as well as your name and shipping address (if your tier contains physical goods) before sending us the money via Paypal. (Please pay an additional fee of 1100 yen for Japan or 2200 yen for International Shipping if there are physical goods in your pledge/add-ons).
As for the other tiers, please make use of the Pre-order store (that will be released soon) to purchase their contents.
tl;dr: For backers, just wait for the survey. For non-backers, use the pre-order store that will be released in future to buy your digital or physical goods, and only pledge with Paypal directly for the money pool tiers and tiers that include working with us to make custom content.
Shikishi Rewards
This bit is specifically for those of you who backed the tiers containing a Shikishi that ISN'T the replica Shikishi. (The ones signed by the Voice Actors or the Hand-drawn ones)
We will be sending out messages via Kickstarter to ask you for your choice of Voice Actor/Actress (For the VA signed shikishi tier), or your choice of character (For the Hand-Drawn Shikishi tiers), so please keep an eye out!
*If you do not know the name of the Voice Actor/Actress, just tell us the character he/she voiced and we'll get you squared away.

Thanks to each and everyone of you lovely fans, the VenusBlood FRONTIER English Localisation Project is a success!
We've also managed to achieve a few stretch goals, and so we at Ninetail are simply ecstatic!
In order to bring you fans the best localisation possible, we at Ninetail will give it our all. That's a promise.
We also plan to make periodic updates regarding the progress of the localisation.
Now then, onto some news that some of you might have been waiting for!
About the Backerkit...Surveys will be sent out to existing backers around the start of November (subject to change).
We will also be opening up a pre-order store around the same time (via Backerkit) that will allow non-backers to purchase add-ons and specific sets of goods included in the pledge tiers!
Other than that, we will be accepting new pledges for specific tiers via Paypal! The tiers that we will accept Paypal pledges for are "Odin's Believer", "Heroic Spirit of Valhalla", "Rebirth", "Flower of the Battlefield", "Demonic Hero", "Demon Emperor's Succession Candidate", "The King's Companion", "The Overlord's Harem" and "Untold Tales of Yggdrasil".
For these tiers, please contact us with the specific tier you wish to pledge to as well as your name and shipping address (if your tier contains physical goods) before sending us the money via Paypal. (Please pay an additional fee of 1100 yen for Japan or 2200 yen for International Shipping if there are physical goods in your pledge/add-ons)
As for the other tiers, please make use of the Pre-order store (that will be released soon) to purchase their contents.
tl;dr: For backers, just wait for the survey. For non-backers, use the pre-order store that will be released in future to buy your digital or physical goods, and only pledge with Paypal directly for the money pool tiers and tiers that include working with us to make custom content.
And next, we would like to touch on the Untold Tales of Yggdrasil Money Pool. Because we have to consider possible Paypal pledges towards the money pool, as well as calculate the money bonuses added depending on how many Stretch Goals we might achieve, we will only be able to announce how many scenes will be added at the end of November.
It will be around that time where we will update backers of the money pool tiers with extra information on how to vote for characters and send us suggestions for the scene's contents.
And the last thing on our post-KS explanations checklist, what to do if your credit card pledge has been declined! Please follow the instructions on this link:

Stretch Goal #1 Achieved + Untold Tales Money Pool Update!
over 5 years ago
– Thu, Oct 18, 2018 at 11:36:11 PM
*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Hello, folks! Some really exciting news for you guys today!
What is it, you ask? Well...We've just achieved our first Stretch Goal, "The Song of the Battlefield"!
Now then, let us explain what this 'Song' brings to you folks!
1) Personal Episode for a Heroine*
It's exactly what it says, there will be an extra scene added for one of the heroines! This scene will be a H-scene, and thus can only be accessed via the uncensor patch.
*These new personal episodes will be decided based on the results of the backer-only popularity poll (Click Here to Vote Now!). HOWEVER, please keep in mind that we at Ninetail will check the results and make our final decision. This means that a character getting 1st, 2nd or 3rd DOES NOT GUARANTEE that the winner is the character who will be featured. (If you wish to re-vote, just send us a message with your id and backer number after re-voting and we will delete your previous vote)
*The content will be similar to what comes with the Untold Tales of Yggdrasil tier except without the new commander unit and standing portrait.
2) English ED Theme
A new English version of the ED sung by Koike Joanna!
3) Opening Song by nao (another version) added to the game's soundtrack
An alternate Japanese version of the VBF OP (Key of Destiny) sung by Ms. nao added as a bonus track to both the game and OST CD!
4) 6 New BGM tracks (by SOLFA) added to the game and OST CD as bonus tracks!
5) Re-translation of UI and Parts featured in the SRPG Trial by Arunaru!
Just to clarify, by parts we mean ALL parts, so what that means is that the entire game will be re-translated by Arunaru!
Certainly great news. Let us keep this pace up as he head towards the second Stretch Goal!
Untold Tales Money Pool Past 100%!
And we have even more great news! The Untold Tales of Yggdrasil Money Pool has exceeded 100%, and we are currently at 103%!
Just a friendly reminder that only those who backed the money pool tiers (Odin's Believer, Heroic Spirit of Valhalla, Demonic Hero and Demon Emperor's Succession Candidate) will have the ability to vote in the poll for who will get featured!* Not to mention, only those backers will be able to make suggestions for what kind of scene they would like to see in this new scene! (Please read the FAQ for more details)
*The votes are weighed in favour of those who pledged to the higher tiers
Regret Breast Pillow Update!
Hmm...Is it just me or do the colour of her breasts look very different to the rest of her body...?
Heh, jokes aside, the cover is currently being...developed, and this is what it looks like partway through the development process, where they're testing out the silicon bits.
*Please keep in mind this product is still under development and this picture does not represent the final product.
Special Column feat. Ninetail's Director and VBF's Scenario Writer!

*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Greetings, everyone! So we got a neat little update for you guys today...
To celebrate having reached 100% funding for this project, Ninetail's director Keimaru and one of VBF's writers, Akumakko (Hisami Tomokazu) will introduce VenusBlood FRONTIER's characters and discuss their appeal as well as what makes each and every character unique!
They have many composers and vocalists that breathe life into many different aspects of various works!
In the VenusBlood series, they've made a variety of music to fit the battles and stages, orchestral pieces and melancholy tunes...The music they produce is, in fact, a big part of the overall appeal of our games. We believe that the music fits perfectly with the situations portrayed in VenusBlood's stories and really enhances the player experience!
You can listen to some of these lovely tracks on their youtube channel, so be sure to check them out!

----------------------------------------------
Next, we would like to introduce the person who sang the English OP for VenusBlood FRONTIER, Koike Joanna!
Koike Joanna is a trilingual singer who is fluent in English, Japanese and Tagalog (Phillipines).
Although singing is her main vocation, she is also an artist who does songwriting, translation, movie editing and production.
We were lucky enough to have had a chance to meet her, and thanks to SOLFA's cooperation, she agreed to sing the English OP of VBF for us!
Thanks to her lovely song, the English localisation team over at Ninetail were suddenly filled to the brim with energy and drive to make this project a success!
Koike Joanna does a ton of work for anime and games, so definitely make sure to check out her Youtube channel!
----------------------------------------------
And finally, we would like to introduce someone who has been a great help to us when it comes to the VenusBlood series, Ms. Nao.
She's sung the various opening songs for VenusBlood GAIA and onwards, and has just about become the staple of the VenusBlood series at this point!
Her songs have always shown off the appeal of the various VenusBlood game, and in regards to this project, she will sing an alternate version of the VBF Opening should we reach the first stretch goal!
Ms. Nao is also a fellow lover of the VenusBlood series, specifically their world settings and as a game.
All we have to do is make it past that first stretch goal, and we'll be able to hear an alternate version of "The Key of Destiny" sung by Ms. Nao as well as have it be added to the game's soundtrack!
