KickStarter Vampire Syndicate: Gangs of MoonFall - Kickstarter now live!

[RaggleFraggle]

Like I said many times, I could just churn out low effort VNs and sell them for 5 USD a pop. They'd be extremely profitable if I started my dipping my toes in more extreme fetishes too. But that's not interesting at all to me.

yeah, but that money could help fund the stuff you actually want to do. Most localizers hate localizing porno games, but that's what makes money. Then they spend that money on localizing the games they actually want to localize, which don't make much money.

Tyranicon Is going to create the new innovation in porn games that will make all these wanna be copy-cats like Kagura and the like drool. They'll still be stuck in mostly VN world or RPG-maker land of some dopy knock off of candy crush dating simulators.​

No.... the NEWD and LEWD will evolve into the likes we've never imagined.

I wish you luck, dude, but I don’t envy you. I wish there were more creators even a fraction as driven as you are, particularly for underrepresented genre spaces like “magical creatures living in post-industrial periods.” Bloodlines came out 20 years ago this Halloween season, but nobody has yet to create memorable follow ups. We’ve gotten medieval fantasy crpgs by the thousands, but somehow the post-industrial period has been almost completely ignored.

Yeah, trying such projects without programmer/coding background sounds like a disaster, you are a writer / designer / creative lead kind of a guy. Tyranicon are you outsourcing writing code?

I know a little bit of coding and Unreal is mature enough at this point with visual scripting (blueprints) that it's not like I'll ever need to be writing C++ in Sublime. But yes, I can't use blueprints for everything and I'm already working with some coders to make the battle system, which will be the hardest part.

Most of the reason I feel confidant in making a game on Unreal is because I have enough experience to know how a game is put together. This is just a bigger iteration of what I've been doing so far.

 

[Tyranicon]

Starting to transfer over my characters into Unreal. It's a complicated process and Unreal store animations seem to be unhappy with both my boob size and placement :/

The masks are there for a number of reasons, but mostly so I don't have to learn facial animation.

Maybe you shouldn't overcomplicate your workflow, and keep the mammaries out of the massive category. What's wrong with a nicely shaped B/C?

Don't worry, billion dollar companies also can't into facial animation.

 

[Alienman]

Will Tyranicon ascend Mount Olympus to take his rightful place next to the Codexian father of the devs/gods (Cleve) with a Vampire porn RPG? It would only be fitting.

Just seven kickstarters away.

Unironically looks better than Cyberpunk 2077.

 

[santino27]

Looking good! I actually like the image/splash/logo in the thumbnail better than the official one you end on.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

huh you ended up making first person RPG?

wasn't the concept way seems to be isometricish?

Yeah, I ended up switching game engines and to FPP for exploration for a bunch of reasons. The main one being that small and narrow spaces are very hard to depict well in isometric.

Combat will be overhead free camera.

Is the plan to have pure porn scenes, or just sexiness, as in hot emo chicks?

 

[Storyfag]

I dig the music.

Both. There'll be porn, but you don't have to interact with them and can be avoided entirely.

Hot goth gfs can't be avoided though.

Is this a Dungeon Crawler?

 

[Tyranicon]

Is this a Dungeon Crawler?

It's not a dungeon crawler, but it may have dungeons in it. That'll have to depend on a lot of things outside me however, as I don't think I'm good at designing dungeons.

So I'll probably need a level designer to actually make them (very expensive, also little replayability) or go the procedural route (cheap and lots of replayability).

Most likely it'll be a combination of the two. We'll see. But it's not a top priority for me so don't expect it to be a major draw.

The combination of cyberpunk and vampire culture. The most sexy setting of all.

The true twist of the cyberpunk/vampire crossover is that the artificial blood that you need for your cyberware is useless to vampires, slowly starving them.

All according to the design of the megacorp leadership, who are fully aware of the vampire menace.

Funnily enough, high-end syndicate matters are related to corporate warfare. Specifically, between the companies the vampires own and the companies le new global conspiracy owns.

The vampires were the old global conspiracy, so they're not too happy about it.

 

[Alienman]

Tyranicon I see you got some traction on the PC gaming Subreddit. That's nice. Usually, indie game announcements disappear very quickly, and get little attention.
