Ukrainian indie developer and publisher, author of the popular game STONKS-9800 Ternox, on the occasion of the Ukrainian Games Festival 2025, announced four new game projects that will be released in his opinion.
The first of them is the science fiction visual novel Valkyrie Iteration, which Ternox, who acts here as a developer and publisher, describes as a "pocket simulator of training a mech pilot." It seems to be something like Volcano Princess, where you have to plan the girl's day, training, rest or conversations to influence her skills, psychological state and connection with Valkyrie. The author promises an interesting story with many endings.
The next game is Manic Pixie Dreamgirls, another visual novel from the Ukrainian Visual Novels Jam, in which the player must control a team of fairy girls who can travel through the world of dreams to uncover the secrets of their classmates and confront terrible nightmares. The game is developed by the Kajan Collaboration team and published by Ternox.
The next project is Born for the Light ~Wavelength Radiant Collapse~ - another visual novel that explores themes of religious trauma and illusion. The game's story takes place in a world where children live high above the ground, inside a giant Tree, believing that one day they will fly to a distant Kingdom. This is a game from solo developer qDrot. Publisher - Ternox.
And the last game, Desktop Akari ~my cute companion~ from Ternox itself is an AI girl who lives on your desktop. The main character of the game is a girl from the developer's previous project, the free pocket dating simulator PockeDate!
Well, it's nice to see so many announcements at once. It seems that publishers of small indie games have finally appeared in Ukraine, not even 35 years have passed.
