    People have been waiting literal years for this company to do something with the IP, so of course some of them are going to be unhinged. I understand people are being empathetic towards the devs but this is a cycle I've noticed and it's forming a toxic parasocial relationship with a company that may or may not care about it's playerbase.

     

    The cycle is as follows:

    Anger -> empathy -> anger (again) -> coping -> more empathy (with covering up for their mistakes)

     

    The community is torn between understanding that the devs are human, and the devs being really incompetent. Reading some of these replies just making up reasons and excuses for the company with literally no proof is disheartening. I personally understand they're people too, they DONT deserve the super angry backlash posts calling them swear words and harassing them, but just because you feel bad for them doesn't mean you can make up a tragic backstory and character lore for actual people who exist. 

     

    The truth it, we don't know what's going on at masangsoft at the moment, and we are in no position to be covering up for them and making up excuses for their flaws. What we DO know is that they've taken games and ditched their communities and poorly ran them in the past.

     

    It's okay to have empathy, it's NOT okay to make up rumors and whiteknight developers without knowing who they are, what they're doing, and what's going on. What if hypothetically Levi was actually a horrible person, we don't know and won't know until we wait and see. Remember that corpos can, and WILL take advantage of community kindness, so give it to them sparingly. Do not expose how kind and desperate you can be because in the end, it's still a company, and they may take advantage of this.

     

    To us, this is microvolts, to masangsoft this is just another IP. Keep this in mind. Please.

    Points made and i also agree with you !!  And this is why i suggest a community mod so it could try to keep the peace.. hopefully we'll have more communication in the future to keep the players mind as ease...i could only dream on because its lacking haha.

    If the devs continues to keep this up, then its just poor communication on their part and it proves that they aren't professional enough to even run Microvolts..i know the community is very dedicated and the devs should also show that they are dedicated to be a part of the development but it ain't showing.

    And another thing to point out is that if they are this unprofessional i could only imagine how will they keep on audience when the game comes out (maybe the OG players will stay but im talking about the new players) 

    My purpose of my previous reply is simply that:

    Masangsoft is a incompetent company and they should do better but harassing the staff ain't gonna do any good but leave both parties hurt in the end. Hope they get a wake up call before they lose their audience who's been nothing but supportive and loyal since the games development.

    I appreciate all of you for how dedicated you all are!!! (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠`⁠)⁠。⁠*゚⁠+

    A reply for norman:

    I've been waiting for the game to "re release" i guess? I was waiting since 2018 but it was just in the back of my mind, i could understand why you are frustrated buddy.

    Really hope this post didn't hurt Levi in any way, he was a cool dude. Feel like he was just sorta being controlled by a higher-up which lead to a lack of communication. Hopefully we hear something soon, it's getting pretty irritating and it's going to do exponentially more damage as time goes by. If you lose your OG audience, the game won't have a chance.

    Yeah i agree with you, im new to the forum and are you all this mean and unhinged? Because reading this post and other past posts, almost all of you are hostile to the staff.

    It makes me wanna get away from this forum and forget its existence because of how negative you all are being.

    I could understand why you guys are getting pissed because you all have been waiting for so long for the game to come out but it doesn't hurt to treat people with decency? Im not justifying their behaviour like sure, they should communicate more and they still have a responsibility to uphold but it doesn't really hurt to just not be so negative almost all the time.

    Also at the end of the day, MVR is just a game like any game out there, if you are getting impatient you could always find another game to distract yourselves while waiting for the game to release.. maybe find a new hobby, work on improving yourself to be a better person or live your life.

    I hope Levi and the staff are doing both physically and mentally! Levi seems like a chill person! Levi or other staff member if you are happen to read this i hope you all are doing alright!

    Wishing everyone who read this post a great day/night! :' D

  3. Hi Um do you guys ever wondered about Sophitia and why shes a tragic character?

    Shes a priestess so she gotta live all this expectations and responsibilities layed upon her.

    As a kid she has to train all her life to become a priestess so she never got a good childhood nor even have one.

    And most importantly, everyone (or everyfigure) sees her as a mother figure when shes barely a adult herself? Like shes still 16 and thats still a young age though you'd still be a "kid" at that age.

    Also theory here but what of she never wanted to become a priestess in the first place? Because in some religions, priestess are chosen so you'd still be a 7 year old and if you are chosen to be a priestess then you are forced on extreme training. 

    Sophitia you need a break of it all it must be stressful dealing all that at a young age and you are one of my favs too!!

    Quick sketch of chibi Sophitia and thats all! Have a great day/night! ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

  5. Hello, yes this is for you to all those C.H.I.P and Knox players and users..This is based on my experience so it might be different for everyone but i wanna say:

    WHY ARE YOU GUYS THE BIGGEST SWEETHEARTS EVER?? WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO NICE?? LIKE ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE WHY ARE YOU GUYS SAINTS LIKE IT DOESN'T MATTER IF OTHER PLAYERS ARE RUDE AND MEAN YOU GUYS JUST SAY "Ok bro" AND THEN PULL THEM INTO A THERAPY SESSION OR SOMETHING

    AND ALSO WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO PATIENT??? ALMOST KNOX AND C.H.I.P PLAYERS I PLAYED WITH ARE VERY PATIENT WITH OTHER PLAYERS AND VERY ENCOURAGING TO THEIR TEAM ASWELL, ANY PLAYER WOULD BE ANGRY THAT THEY'D BE TREATED LIKE TRASH BUT NO YOU GUYS ARE JUST SO CHILL WITH EVERYTHING AND ARE DORKY BIG SWEETHEARTS like oh my god??

  6. Did a sorta of a crossover between MV and doki doki! Im sure some of you heard of the game before since it's popular.

    "Microvolts: Figure club!" I guess is what I'd like to call it.

    Also the uniforms are inspired by toywars

    I was planning to do a full illustration but then i remembered i have class so the best i could do for now is chibis since its quicker..i tried to make it as accurate to the games chibi from doki doki as possible but this is the best i could do but hope you like the art haha!

    Tha m you for stopping by and have a great day/night! 〜⁠(⁠꒪⁠꒳⁠꒪⁠)⁠〜

    Quick cash grab, I also wouldn't say they got lazy but they were running out of budget to handle employing people with original concepts. Remember that they started porting over arms races weapons and JP sets at the end of MVS because of this. It's not "super easy" to make concepts for sets that people will generally enjoy, there's quite afew sets that got shafted because nobody cared about them (like the oil barrel chip set). Sure we can make "easy" pretty concepts but we're also not working for a company that needs to sell said concepts to a large playerbase. And majority of the time, from what I've seen in other games, people who say "I'll buy that!" never actually buy it. 

     

    To put it simply, they didn't get lazy, they ran out of budget and eventually couldn't keep employing graphic designers I assume, which is why towards the end we got reskins and why we were able to get new content (like the OP ability sets) but having them be reskins basically. It feels like the graphic designers were the first to be let go.

    Good point, but im still bitter about it. They probably gonna remove the extra figures when the games out (thats what i think anyways) 

    Knowing that MVS is a small game with a small community i could understand why they'd cut corners.

    But if its a quick crash grab then why bother going far and beyond to make new characters if they just quick cash? They could just make sets for the OG 5 im sure some people would buy it.

    If they do intend to remove the extra figures..no one would probably care because they aren't as memorable as the OG5, sure some people would be upset but thats about it.

    What a shame though... D '

  8. Hellooooo~! I wanna discuss something and its about the missed opportunities about the character (outside of the OG5)

    If there's anything im still pissed and bitter about MVS its the lack of knox and C.H.I.P sets........aaaand also how the other characters basically got the end of the stick.

    What do i mean by that? The other characters didn't get that much sets as much as the OG 5 did.

    And its literally so easy to come up with sets for them, anyone with a creative brain can come up with ORIGINAL SETS! Like each character in MVS has their own uniqueness and charm to them and thats what makes them stand out and different. But then of course they got lazy with the other characters, just look at Amelia and Sophitia.

    Why didn't they make more original sets for them when its so easy? Theres so many fashion styles the possibilities are endless but nooooo they just slapped in a naomi set and called it a day. Basically like a copy and pasted.

    Dont get me started on simon and sharkill because they got it even worse, especially sharkill..at least simon has some original sets but sharkill only has that ugly recolour and him shirtless.

    And that also got me thinking, if they aren't gonna pay or even add any effort then why did they bother making a character in the first place? The other characters are a wasted potential..i could go on and on but i dont wanna make this post unreadable so have this Amelia sketch i did, i wish i could finish it but i have classes today 

    Thank you for reading and have a great day/night! ヾ⁠(⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠*⁠)⁠ノ

  9. Hello! I've been wondering if the figures from ToyWars is gonna comeback in mvr but i doubt it because they might be irrelevant to the mvr lore..thats a shame because the figures looks really cool and interesting (and also because they appear in loads of promotional artworks in toywars) and i like their personalities and they seem likable. 

    And not to mention, they all have signature weapons! Thats kinda cool aswell!

    If you wanna know more about the figures and their owners then go read the toywars story mode but only do it if you have the time because its tiring to pull out google translate in every dialogue.

    Anyways I'll put the names here in case you wanna know their names.

    The one that looks like a shrine maiden is Issen

    The one with green hair is Laeven

    The one with white hair is Jeanne

    and the one with blonde hair is Gald (Or Major Gardo)

    Maybe they could come back as sets? Because they are sets and people also said that you get them for free if you play the story (the jps communities words not mine) but people also said that these figures were in a bundle and that you need to buy them with RT (same as buying crac)

    Hopefully in the future we'd get to see em again but like i said i doubt it and its sorta a slim chance so all i could do is dream on.

    Thank you for reading and have a great day/night! (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠。⁠*⁠♡

    Yeah no rush dude, not like the forum is getting much traction rn anyways lmao

    Im back!! so here are the sources! Btw they are mostly jp or Chinese so google translate will be your best friend if you wanna check it out! 

    Animetimes.com

    4Gamer.net

    OnlineGamer.JP

    Toywars JP and TH FB posts

    UtoPlanet_Channel

    Toywars official live streams

    Toywars old dev logs 

    Wikiwiki.JP

    Toywars "presentation" reports

    Amustyle.Info

    And many more jp websites I can't for some reason translate..but I'll put the stuffs and info i gathered here (this info will be about characters outside the OG 5)

    For Simon, we could've had more lore and i cannot find his concept arts anywhere, the only ones i could find where sharkill amelia and sophitas which is a shame

    Theres more lore about simon but its lost to time and in the jp live streams its mentioned but I can't really understand what the devs are saying.

    Sophitias character was basically a "Random one minute idea" the devs logs said so and anything about her and her lore seems obscure? Its all surface based lvl so it ain't that deep

    Amelias "lore" is also obscure and nothing really changed on mvs version

    Sharkill has way more lore about him in toywars that were never saw the light of day in Microvolts which is a shame because the other characters actually have loads of lore but i guess Microvolts never really cared about it and just swept it under the rug.. (well I'll have them know i actually care about the games lore > : (

    Anyways if you wanna read more about the other characters go check out and read the websites that i listed 

    If you are having trouble then just search "Toywars JP" and at least one of these websites will appear.

    If you have any questions ill be here to help!!

    Can we get the sources? This is interesting and I wanna make sure some of it isn't wiki-related stuff. Cuz sharkill had "lore" when he got implemented at the end of MV surge's lifespan but he had ingame portraits way before when rockhippo was still the owners of microvolts, so it could be hard to tell. He could probably not even be brazilian originally or maybe he always was. I still remember the lore community thing rockhippo did for people to make "canon" lore for the game.

    Sure thing!  this is going to take a while but wait I'll probably just write it down and summarise what i read so ill be right back.

  12. Hi all! I was just digging some toywars lost media and old jp articles (i consider toywars lost media since only a small majority of people even bothered to archive it) and i stumbled upon Sophitias concept art and some other characters and they have character profile and yeah it turns out that SOPHITIA IS 16! I thought shes an adult because she looks the part but no shes actually 16 years old.

    Naomis character profiles age is blank and so is crac's.

    The only canon adult is sharkill and simon as far as i know.

    All the other character profiles ages shows blank even amelias is blank.

    If Sophitia is age is 16 and she looks like a adult figure then what about the other figures..how old actually are they then?? If  Also i thought that age is a non- existent, i thought they work like in toy story where the figures dont have ages but are in the same age range..?

    Eh whatever they are action figures its not even worth dwelling on..but let me know your thoughts about this.

    Thank you for reading and have a great day/night! (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

    So what have you guys been playing lately ? Tried anything new ? Maybe dropped league of legends and decided to join us outside ? xD

    Im too engrossed in drawing to play anything at the moment but i usually play wholesome and relaxing games like animal crossing for example.

  14. Meow ! Happy april fools day! The figures has turned into cats for a day! Don't worry they'll change back by tomorrow! 

    In the meantime.. these cats are looking for a new home for the day! Which cat are you taking home ? ฅ⁠^⁠•⁠ﻌ⁠•⁠^⁠ฅ

    Honestly a little lore would be real cool but not really needed, people played the game for its gameplay and not story, though what we have is pretty neat and manages to have the dude with the coolest name and an evil company. Battle royale simply wouldnt work with microvolts, too chaotic and spammy and if you remove those two things you cease to have microvolts, plus battle royale is overdone to hell and back. What would be cool if they were to make new game modes, like a survival mode where you and some other players survive wave after wave or better yet have a large map with objectives for you to do before being able to advance. Also an expansion to zombie mode in the form of zombie escape would be cool, figures ahve to go from point A to B and zombies have to stop it, like the classic game mode in counter strike.

    We actually have lore! But in toywars! (The JP version) and we had loads of extra figure characters that were never released in Microvolts, and toywars also has their own manga!

    While in Microvolts surge, we also did have lore but its kinda vague at best.

    Im not sure Microvolts and toywars are connected or in the same universe because the lore is way different

    For example, the toywars story line is about students in a figure model club or a model making club while in Microvolts surge its about a company.

    The lore of the game seems surface based and we actually never get to know what the universe of the Microworld and we are only given scraps and bits of pieces....i wish they could explore and give us a little bit of lore because well i like game lore haha but also i wanna about the whole "Microworld" and whats it like for the figues.

    I read the toywars story line but the story is incomplete, and it ended in the cliffhanger (im assuming the devs never got to finish it due to it shutting down which is a shame).

    The only version we are ever gonna have at least more lore its in the toywars.

    Regarding to the Microvolts surge universe? I dont know but hopefully they'll give us more lore in the future!

  17. Based on "Ori's" forum post it seems people on this forum is divided on the games state so...I'll give my predictions on the game development for this year.

    I'll try to make this short.

    •The third beta phase will be released on either end of march? Or April-may-mid june.. since one of the GM said "very soon" so i guess were getting close.

    •Possibly open beta will be released on July-August or mid September?

    On October to November, the game will be a state of polishing (fixing bugs, weapons sound, stats and etc)

    And the official release date will be on Christmas or maybe end of November (as said on the steam page..or thats the i remember it..)

    Thats my predictions.i

    i hope the developers doesn't stretch the release date to another year, i really want this game to release this year because the community will just lose hope and patience at this point and move on to other games, while toyheroes are literally making money out of the game they dont even have the rights to own. As much as i want to play the game right now...I refuse to play toyheroes. I dont wanna support shady people.

    Also the devs saying that they have a "roadmap" for the game and milestones? I sure hope they could at least reach it, im not gonna give them high expectations as they are a small team. But i still have faith on the team, hopefully we could finally play Microvolts this year.

    Dont let us down devs!

    Thank you for your time and have a great day/night! (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

    Oh yeah, took naomi out for a walk but she looks upseat, like is she trying to tell me something?

    WAIT YOU NOTICED THE MISSIONS MISSPELLED TOO? I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT NOTICED!
