Asking for feedback - Community and development

The setup

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! https://gamesardor.net/top-steam-games-to-look-out-for-in-april-2025/#vindictive-drive-2-maidbot-archive

What I need

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.

In a nutshell, if you feel like it, please:

• Give me your feedback, ideas, reviews, suggestions etc

• Those confident enought to make guides, please do, we have a wiki and you can always ask me if you have doubts, add me on Discord, I'm bal_dev or at @boukensha_bal on X

• Those who know youtubers, please suggest them to cover the game either of the Steam or Mobile version,(or the manga) I don't mind giving free keys for it

• Those who know any press you find cool, please send them a messege

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. love
