Development Log October 4th (Patreon)

Build: PreAlpha Stage 2

Finally we made it to October, the spookiest time of the year. Hope everyone’s had a great past couple of weeks!

We’ve been quite busy with some reorganizational work with characters and main game scope, and I'd like to share some of that insight with you all. I had made some decisions about the course of the project, and we plan on focusing on the main three girls, Pandora, Sistine and Luna to be the primary protagonist characters. Along with Towa, who is a supporting character who will be added after the first Demo is released. The goal is to focus on the three main girls. The amount of work required to do every character I desire would take an astronomical amount of time, and I think people would like to see something as soon as possible.

So the goal is currently to finish the first two chapters of the main three girls stories, along with each of their unique scenes to get the ball rolling. As we get feedback, we will continue from there on out to complete the Full Demo. This will contain the first 8 or so chapters of the main girls, with a few additional characters like Towa having 1-2+ chapters out. 

We will likely take it to a vote once the early demo is released on which type of monster girl we want to see next. At that point, we will be releasing it on steam as a free demo game, along with several other websites when this part is completed! From there, we plan on completing the main three girls stories with the occasional new girl / continuation of a specific girl throughout the project until the game is complete.

Along with that, we made some adjustments to the discord to include forums, which will serve as a place for people to discuss feedback, report bugs, or help each other out, along with pledger-specific forums. We will also be allowing the Vampire Tier to be opened up, allowing you to access those pledger-specific perks. There will also be more tiers when the demo comes out, including a limited Tomestone for pledgers to have in-game for supporting the project as early as you have! People who are currently pledged as of October 3rd 2022 will automatically get one! Additional new people will have to subscribe to the true True Vampire Tier and higher once it is available.

The Tomestone will be an in-game object that is within a zone near the Manor that is a large graveyard. It is a unique object which will be intractable by anyone who plays the game! It will say your pledger name (or something else you wish to be referred to by) and a short sentence or phrase you wish others to see. We will be reviewing your phrase so please refrain from using anything that would normally get you in trouble saying, use common sense. 

We will alert you when this is available, and yes, the spots are limited, we haven't decided how many spots just yet. Once we request the quote, you’ll have a few months to give us your quote if you wish, and we will repeat the alert several times a month in case people forget. If you do not respond in the timeframe or wish to forfeit your spot, you will revoke it to be raffled off to a random True Vampire pledger instead. We will handle it in a forum when the time comes when we’re ready, so please be patient!

We’re also planning on posting a public development log to gather any interest on the project towards the end of October. They will also gain access to the discord server so there may be some new people who will join. Please be respectful to each other as we do not wish to have any conflicts. We will handle if anything goes awry and hope we can expand to create a chill and friendly community.

Also we’ve added some new emotes to the discord server! As well as some new art for patreon. The new emotes/stickers for the server is art of the current characters! Pandora, Sistine, Luna, Towa and the Master! Hope you enjoy them!

Updates for the project will be posted as a public post and in discord! Hope you guys have a great October and we will see you soon!
