The Blood of Dawnwalker - Fantasy ARPG from ex-CD Projekt RED developers

[La vie sexuelle]

Cute female Devs

 

[toro]

Cute female Devs. 8-9/10 lead Devs are male. All look like competent and with their T level in acceptable range. Lead Dev was banished from CD Projekt Red for being sexist bully who whipped Devs there too much and made them to crunch (does explain how in 2.5 years, this summer, they'll be able to already have gameplay showcase lol). Also ZERO NIGGERS, only one mongolian higher vampire, looks like Khan. That makes sense, with backdrop being Carpathia 14th century

What's to be overtly upset? Nothing. Good that this is happening

Let's quote twitter:

This whole "Christianity le bad and vampires le good" seems pretty woke honestly.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

But vampires are not le good here, right? The cinematic is pretty ambiguous as to their intentions, but the description of the setting implies the vampiric influence on the local gentry and the protagonist to be a negative?

That's not the impression I got at all. Multiple times was said by Devs how Vampires are manipulative, ruthless but fair. Previous Human Lord was almost the same minus fair. Main Character's family is trapped by Vampires and he is like partisan fighting alongside other human rebels to topple Vampiric rule over valley

Did you know that almost all modern game Devs from West avoid portraying cross in their games at all. I saw 99 crosses. This ain't WOKE da ga jebeš

We have been living in a satanic-oriented culture for over ten years. Of course vampires are good.

More like for 100 years or at least since 80s. Westerners have as their main holidays: subversion of Easter - some dancin rabbits shit, subversion of Christmas - Coca Cola Commercial and what? Halloween FFS

Game Studio is called Rebel Wolves. Do you wonder why? This team is CD Projekt Red from 2013-2015. Literally & metaphorically

Wish them luck*

You will know this game by its portrayal of vampires and humans.

If vampires get to be "just one of the peoples" with their daily rat race struggles, just trying to find love, immigrate to a new land like one does, you know - nobody has to say anything anymore, but this is going to be stupid woke shit.
If they are machiavellian predators that see themselves above humans, and have goals that not neccesarilly include survival of humans, then we have something we can work with.

If humans are just a bunch of greedy, corrupted cunts without virtues, you have modern grimdark pozz.
If there are good ones that are not witches, gypsies, women or some other modern minority, we can work with it.

So far, I have not seen enough to be convinced into either of these extremes.
Dawnwalker will probably be somewhere on this "quadrants", but it is hard to say where.

 

[Litmanen]

Damn, I hope this game turns out great, otherwise The Wall will kill himself, and I'll miss my favorite Nazi whore.

 

[Ibn Sina]

black death europe is a cool setting. Is certainly better than coming up with a fantasy world from scratch.

Has masquerade vibes.

Nah, you've got it all wrong. Vampires are supposed to represent and fight for the underclass, especially as pansexual anime femboys or cringe idiot gay hipster grandmas named after zoomer mumble rappers. Throw in some refugee werewolves too.

This is why recent VtM games are selling millions of copies every day, and not getting out-competed by mid-effort RPGmaker porn games.

The world needs what it fear [vampires]

This could be the reference to the protagonist: he is a vampire (or half-vampire) so he is feared, but the world needs him to protect it. The trailer clearly shows they feed on human meat (or maybe blood. Hard to tell), at the very least. So the protection could be from other vampires (hence the mentions about Coen fighting for his humanity), as well as from other monsters. This would imply the vampires aren't a benevolent force, just more pragmatic - yet still ruthless - overseers. I would expect Dawnwalker to be morally grey so that it is easy for the player to side with either side. Oh, and you will probably have to fight your sister as the result of your ultimate choice (or whoever that girl is Coen is trying so hard to save).

 

[Elttharion]

Doesnt look too bad even tho I am not particularly thrilled by the snippets of gameplay they showed. At this point of the video they show a boss (?) fight and the player character takes a huge part of the screen:



Hopefully its just something for the trailer as this reminded me of NuGow and those games feel really claustrophobic to play.

 

[Lord_Potato]

Did anyone pay attention if there was a dark-skinned "person" in the material shown so far, this game might have an edge over Kingdom Cum 2....

There was a glimpse of this travelling vampire from Mali, randomly visiting the Carpathian mountains to advertise Mūsā's legendary wealth and the depth of his gold mines...

 

[Reinhardt]

i guess proper vampire hunter is too toxic for current times. muh grey shit, humies are real monstarz.

 

[Fargus]

Trailer looks good and far more interesting than new Bitcher garbage, vampire centered games are very rare and the ones done well are even rarer. But only crumbs of gameplay are shown. I still expect nothing from the game itself. Maybe a competent semi woke arpg where you dodge roll like fucktard. I think The Wall is gonna get burned once again and not by daylight

 

[markec]

I would be more forgiving to the trailer if the humans were some rogue mercenaries pillaging under pretense of helping contain the plague. Making a lord comically evil by going personally supervising killing everyone including children just seems forced.

 

[itsme]

I will be surprised if this shit ever gets finished. Even if it will, it will be a totally forgettable shit.

 

[Morgoth]

Finally some badass looking Vamps, not just some Metal faggots.

CGI trailer did get me more interested in the story than Witcher 4's did I'll admit.

For Witcher 4 we've got Ciri running about killing monsters like Geralt does and living the same life no hints at changes to the formula or anything deeper and diferent. Don't care or mind that Ciri is calling herself a Witcher or is the protagonist but actually having her go through the trail of grasses and drinking Witcher Potions now feels like it's completely against Geralt's character or Yennefer to ever consider helping her do this to herself. Hell Lambert considers it evil if I remember right.

It also feels lazy gameplay wise just recycling how exactly Geralt plays but putting Ciri in there now instead. Could be wrong sure as we've seen nothing of gameplay for it but huge doubts and the story as it feels like you could just swap Geralt in for all those scenes and it would be the exact same thing instead.

As for The Blood of Dawnwalker trailer wasn't special but I liked finding out the nobody who was running from the king and his men is the character you'll play and the vampire who saved his sister and broke the crown did a good job of promising nice things while feeling dangerous. And does the job at least feeling like I'm not just going to play Geralt again with a fresh coat of Ciri paint on top or just Geralt again.

I do hope though they go with a semi Gothic feel of you a semi-nobody at the start even with vampire powers and all.
Such that you're a new blood and slightly stronger than a average human but a joke to over vampires and most all monsters that you eventually grow over time.

However, that bullshit about 30 days and 30 nights time limit kills that hope as we won't see your character growing over the years to be a competent semi-vampire/dawnwalker and see how this Vampire ruled kingdom grows over the years since we're capped to a month even if it's just the "the time only progresses as you do the main quest" nonsense the narrative of the game no matter what is bound to just a month is extremely lame. Give me a few months at least.

And you'd hope that these devs who made Witcher 3 would have learnt that having the narrative be about a deseprate search for Ciri with everyone acting like the clock is ticking yet Gerlat fucking about both literally and figuratively on side quests was a common complaint they'd learn not to repeat that with their new game because if it's not a real 30 day limit as the messaging in the later part of the event seemed to suggest we're right back to square 1.

What we saw of gameplay for this game from the teaser felt so little doesn't feel like it's even worthy of consideration for now.

It was about 1500x better than the Witcher 4 trailer

The only thing that sucked was the tiny amount of gameplay, but at least they showed some

New screenshots for Dawnwalker dropped, including this character:

What are your thoughts, guys? Who is he? A companion, quest giver, or perhaps a villain? Human, vampire or both?
