Hello everyone!
It's been a while and I'm bit late to this update as you can see by the title. But I promise you that it's for a good reason. This year started strong and I've been not only working on this update, but putting together many essential pieces for MIDNIGHT ARMAGEDDON, the new vampire game I'm working on. Below this paragraph you will be able to find both the new content added to RAVENSBURG in this Valentine and take a look at the new Vampires and Mortals that are coming for the new Horror RPG.
Since this will be lengthy post, I remind you now that if you enjoy the updates rate the game leaving a REVIEW on the Steam PAGE! That always helps the game, hell yeah. And join our Discord, there you can make suggestions for this and the next VAMPIRE game that I will read and respond.
• A New Portrait for Arcain the 'Vampilar'. With 4 new expressions added to the 4 old ones. Thanks to Ella_B, who sketched these new expressions expanding and updating them beyond the 4 original ones I made initially.
• Old Arcain and Luminita Dialogues Updated. Both Luminita and Arcain had new expressions added in the last two updates, these were slid organically into their old dialogue so you will see more variety into hen you speak from the beginning of the game.
• Expansion from 5 CGs to more than 45+ CGs & Variations to Rosaire's Route! This might be the longest expansions made to a single character route yet. Nope, is not favoritism. Is just that as time goes, I get a better understanding of how to make cinematics. The whole scene was remade, and new dialogues were added to match them. Those that decide to push their friendship with Rosaire further into the story will be able to experience the full, posh attitude of ELVEN FRIENDSHIP.
• Choice for Remembering what happened last night. For those who already did the route but want to see the more than 40+ new CGs and the added dialogue there will be a neat option to experience it all again from the beginning without the need to loading a previous and distant save. Hint: Try asking again for what your friend needs.
• All the new CGs were added to the Codex Memoriam. After re-visiting the new dialogues the CGs will be permanently unlocked in the magical book.
• All changes are retro-compatible with previous saves. You can just load your most recent save if you're an old player and play from there.
MIDNIGHT ARMAGEDDON IS COMING!
I already started to work on the next game: MIDNIGHT ARMAGEDDON. It will be a Horror RPG that mixes Punk, Horror, Vampires and Victorian aesthetics in a post-industrial society, of course, the sexiness of RAVENSBURG is coming too. Because I'm very picky with names, some characters still need one, but that aside TAKE A LOOK AT THE VAMPIRES AND MORTALS THAT WILL ACCOMPANY YOU:
Here we found 4 of our protagonist's group. They're part of a heterodox nomenclature of non-conformists rebels that we're going to call the Anarchists for now.
1. Our twin-tailed, upper left. She perfectly encapsules what's vulgarly called "street wisdom", she knows how to navigate the streets and how to never get caught - isn't ideal to leave anything shinny within a 3 meter radius of her. Favorite show is a weirdly bizarre cartoon about alien trying to conquer Earth. Don't ask her to do math.
2. The edgy fellow, in the upper right. The deuteragonist of the story, is the so called leader of this anarchist group (they don't call him that) and generally the one who calls the shots or... at least the guy they listen to when the show's about to go down. He's considered a badboy in the streets and dangerous criminals by authorities.
3. Tomboy bully, bottom left. She's anti-social, she doesn't like to talk, she doesn't like people, she doesn't like you and she's already tired of this description too. Deep inside she has a warm heart in the same way you can find magma at the bottom of a volcano. She's our twin-tailed heroine best friend.
4. Bipolar Ghoul, bottom right. The leader of the anarchists group found her abandoned, decided they don't have enough nutjobs in the cage and brought her to the apartment. After discovering she resembles to an unvaccinated dog with rabbies who can switch personalities in a minute she got adopted by the anarchist girls at the cry of "one of us! one of us! one of us!".
Here come the Kerrat brothers. These guys are part of the anarchist group, despite being members of the mortal races, they're well-aware of the vampires' existence and their deceptive schemes.
5. Archibald "Archie", the one at the top. The right hand of the Edgy Fellow, both went together to the last Providencial war in the frontiers of the city-state and is one of the few who returned in one piece. He's as dangerous as the edgy fellow but manages to keep a low profile.
6. Dorothea "Dorothy", the one at the left. This precious girl is a survivor, she makes a living stylizing the hair of the divas in The Blocks, was the one who tough Twin-tailed Heroine and the Tomboy Bully that is not fine to run around the neighbourhood with looking like a flea ridden stray cat.
7. Ernest "Ernie", the one at the right. That he's innocent looking glass-wearing face doesn't deceive you, this dangerous nerd has pirated unsummonable amounts of Magnetic video tapes from music to movies and documentaries, bringing the term "holding like a rat" to a new scale.
The Excelsio Siblings. Unlike the anarchists the Siblings belong to Las Casas, the more established group of vampires that roughly coincide when the mortal concept of nobility. The protagonists of RAVENSBURG belong to this group. Like a lot of nobility, they're very weird.
8. The Bored Baddie. In the left, she is the older of the siblings. She doesn't especially hate nor like mortals, she doesn't like other vampires outside her family much either - she, in fact, has a very limited selection of things she likes. And she is not very happy with having to collaborate with the anarchist group but will do so if that elevates her status and fulfils her duties.
9. Deadpan Guy. On the left, younger sibling. Even between weirdos he's considered a special case. Yeah, maybe he likes his sister and the companionship of snakes a bit too much, but he's generally more agreeable and concerned for his fellow bloodsuckers when he gets a bizarre interest in them. Saw a dude kicking a puppy and the dude was found poisoned next day.
Now that I have the main characters, factions and strings of the plot, is very likely that the next update you see on this project is with screenshots from inside the game!
That's all for now folks, until next night.
