Indie Vampire Syndicate: Gangs of MoonFall - Isometric Cyberpunk Vampire RPG

[Sykar]

Can I be an frankenstein monster vampiric mummy werewolf..... possessed by demons and abducted by aliens?

It only counts if you were properly probed. Meaning the probe is still in your rectum!

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Ah...That's right... I forgot this was a porn game.


..... and aliens addiction to such things like probing.

 

[Tyranicon]

Boy that's one SERIOUS voiceover.

Yeah, not sure how I feel about it. It's just a stand in for now.

Since this is p0rn Can you choose the protagonist looks and choose the gender

Yes.

Left to right

1. Colonial Marine - Recently discharged and has found himself in the seedy underbelly of Moonfall. Think futuristic Travis Bickle, as he clumsily navigates the myriad realms of porno theaters, weird fetishes, sex clubs, illegal prostitution, pimps, and minorities.
2. Cthulhu faced human - willingly either got surgery or banged a smaller starspawn creature and was gifted with this. Either way, tentacles are fully functional. Can breathe in the void and underwater. Females have octopussy as well.
3. Hairless werewolf - Fetish party specialist, often dressed out in full gimp gear with a muzzle.
4. Bride of Frankenstein - Super human strength combined with incredible muscle control.
5. Rrrrahghbldhuahg
6. Male offspring of the Black Goat of the Woods. He's a notorious gossip and has information of all sorts to trade. Female offspring have tentacles that end in smooth mouths.

You're not too far off. This is 4. Don't put your dick in that.

Why not? If this is a porn game there should be an option to get freaky with that.

 

[Tyranicon]

Why not? If this is a porn game there should be an option to get freaky with that.

Bard: Is that a dragon? Call I roll to seduce it?

DM: Sure, roll me a survival check.

Bard: Survival?

DM: Yeah, cause the dragon is going to try biting your dick off while you seduce it. Beat a 19 and you're good.

 

[Rean]

Can you choose the protagonist looks

While I very much enjoyed Memoirs of a Battle Brothel and the reputation/faction system (and I have no idea of the scope of this project) I highly recommend stealing some ideas from this talk: https://youtu.be/1OrUhqgueAE . The pinned comments and some of the other comments also offer ways/examples of generating reactivity using tagging, pre-planing. Especially since you explicitly mentioned F:NV it bears mentioning.

Also with regards to:

The fugly characters crawled straight outta daz 3d deranged clone factory.

You're not wrong there. We're running them through some other software to remove the fuglyness, to where they're almost presentable. Not quite there yet, but I think we're making strides.

Consider how Wildermyth's simple art style led to the ability of creating more expressive/adaptable characters (while they use procedural generation and you probably won't). Stylized art would stand out from other Daz models, even if it's just a filter on top of everything.

Also, you've mentioned before in your discord channel that you haven't played any/many 3D adult games. Since you're making one and would probably like to a) Know what your competition visually is on that front so you can stand out and b) See where/why people might have a stigma against 3d adult games (So that you can convince them that you're different). I'd suggest you check out this channel's video's https://youtu.be/1LsBnI5Z7d8 especially the monthly round ups. A lot of the games use Daz renders, as you could soon tell. The channel's discord also has a separate channel with/for creators that like talking about this stuff so you don't have to play all games in the scene individually to be able to get more of an understanding of what the market of 3D adult games looks like. You probably won't be able to beat the visuals/models/animation of something like Operation Lovecraft: Fallen Doll (which is also vaguely "gritty" sci-fi/fantasy) but one thing I can say immediately is that very few of them have as robust of a faction/reputation system as MoaBB.

With regards to adult RPG's from the lineage of this site (cRPG's) you should maybe check out how Team Deer's Price for Freedom: Avarice, and the Top Patreon's and Steam games in the videos of the channel I just linked to see what the market at this moment likes when it comes to adult games. The previously mentioned discord also had speculation on where the trend is heading which could be handy information to have since you'll be releasing this game Atleast 3+ years from now.

 

[Tyranicon]

Also, you've mentioned before in your discord channel...

Thanks, kind internet stranger who made a codex account/alt purely to comment on my thread :D.

In regards to Daz3D, I would have to agree with the majority that Daz assets veer (or dive headfirst) into uncanny valley. The reasons for this have been discussed ad nauseam in adult dev circles (I have been cheating, and talking to devs about their processes instead of actually playing their games). I would not have gone ahead with Daz if we didn't have a way of mitigating this, and I think my artist did a great job so far.

Spoiler

And if you've been following me so far, you'll probably know I have a thing for monumental challenges - as long as they are efficient. I chose RPGMaker because it was simply the most efficient, low-resource engine for what I wanted to build. The same is true for Daz.

Both RPGMaker and Daz have a notorious reputation in their fields, since they are both user-friendly, low cost software. Overcoming this stigma is difficult.

Overcoming this stigma to produce a large, polished cRPG that is both critically and financially successful? That is the kind of challenge that appeals to me.



And thanks for the suggestions, I'll definitely check them out. An hour long video from Josh Sawyer? I have a sinking feeling I've seen that one before :D.

 

[vazha]

I dont think I am the only one who s not impressed with wildermyth s over the top fairy cartooney style?
And while it more or less fits the narrative there, this seems to be whole other kind of game. I d say go for AoD aesthetics instead.

 

[jackofshadows]

Yeah both PRGM and Daz have notoriously bad rep and rightfully so mostly thanks to looots of retards complete amateurs which are working with them. Treasure of Nadia, the game from that link above is one of the most successful adult games currently and it's done on RPGM, actually. Being a DIK's author, who works on his project all by himself (allegedly), showed that it's possible to mitigate Daz3d's uncanny valley effect by a great deal paying due regard to posing, model mimics, post-processing and so on. It all comes down to skills and talent rather than the tools.

 

[plem]

seems like this will feature a lot of my favorite things, wishlisted

I have to say I prefer the 2D of battle brothel to 3D, though it being isometric may minimize the uncanny valley effect

 

[ChildInTime]

Added to the wishlist, godspeed, Tyranicon. Vampires and cyberpunk are two of my favorite themes in fiction.

 

[santino27]

Wishlisted. Love the concept, appreciate the move to 3d, and don't want anything anywhere near the Wildermyth's art style. The art snippets posted have looked great.

Chill buddy, I think it's an overview of what games have done so far as against what ideas that krautblood came up with.
Personally I think New Vegas did it ok.

It's like having a conversation with a Markov Chain.

---

On topic, I'm in the camp that the name sucks, primarily due to "Vampire Gangs". It just sounds silly and unnecessary, are there no non-Vampiric gang members? I'd say drop the "Vampire" from the title. But I hate Vampires so I may just be biased.

yo this game needs choices and consequences to troll moral relativists that choose good options in games like pathfinder. I propose a sexy witch waifu vampiress that offers the player sex but shortly turns into a 100 year old withered corpse with worms and skin lesions and unnaturally ugly evil body. She tells the player to retain her youth she needs to go swallow the souls of the few kids in a incubated state downstairs. Player can choose be her enemy but she is somehow keeping everyone SAFE in the community of vampirefall if he does so.

To build her relationship the player has to accept nightmares of stuff like beetles bursting out of his skin leaving 2-3 inch skin lesions on their entire body. So basically its like dating a comically evil entity like stephen kings IT.
