Part 9!

Things have been... wild to say the least. But we're here, part 9 has begun! 

So many poor decisions have been made for your amusement! Kori is a badass! Acro is traumatized, and Iliana might yet learn something from YOU, the players. Gareth has offered you a free brain chip of his design, something more open source than the mass-produced chips of Butterfly Network, and you've accepted! Someone named Flek seemingly sent you their dying message... asking you to make sure Vekari never comes into being? Ash has stepped foot on Earth in our current time???

I have lots of updating to do, and unfortunately things may still be slow as I simply have too much happening at once. But we'll get through it! One little update at a time :)

Iliana's story part will update in a few days to include the second half as well as her poll. These polls are supposed to close October 18th. If you'd like to play a part in deciding where the story goes, please participate! I don't require any information from you to do so.

Ash seemingly found a way to make his way here... for better or for worse. Maybe the rest of Killing Dolls will follow? Does that mean Alden can come through as well? Ash was spotted at London Comic Con (Canada) and has announced his plans to return next year! He may also show up at other events. Will interacting with him in person affect the story at all? Is there someone you DO need to interact with to make sure Vekari never happens?

This weekend I will be trying to get most of the new features provided by your brain chip set up, as well as all of the dialogue relating to it updated. You'll be able to get all of the secret links and hidden text highlighted for you to quickly and easily spot while navigating the site (on/off toggle)! You'll be able to check out VR tokens without heading all the way to Celestial VR (and will be getting some from Ambrose!) You'll be getting stats and combat skills to customize, and a turn based combat system to go with your new threats (including rewards!) This will still not be a combat-focused game, rather combat will accent your exploration and dialogue options and provide you with new materials, routes, ways to earn X, and new characters to meet! 

Halloween is the 1 year anniversary of Vekari: Remote Bypass fully running, outside of early access, and it has been a rough first year with the way life has treated me. But we've made it! Through October, you'll see little celebratory images around the site. You can click these for secrets such as items, VR tokens, and even instructions to access secret areas! Enjoy the hunt!

The Vekari TTRPG is going to be getting its first expansion in the form of a simple TCG! You'll be able to collect cards featuring characters, places, items, and creatures from Vekari: Remote Bypass to play through a solo (or with friends!) dungeon crawl through a glitched building, build up a party to play against a friend, or use to supplement your existing TTRPG campaigns! I am hoping to have a very small set of these first cards by the end of the year, at the very latest. The cards will be available through itch.io digitally as well.

If I have updates delaying any of my plans, they will be posted directly to the site and the official Discord, so keep an eye out there! Thanks for joining in on the chaos
