Image
  Buy the game on Steam - 40% Launch Discount for early Adopters (click here) The wonderful moment has finally arrived, on this beautiful day of October 2nd, 2023! After years of hard work, long hours, tears and sacrifices, this new game is finally born into the world, ready to bring joy and beauty into many lives for decades to come. A small dent has been put out in the universe, something dark and beautiful, a little spark of (de)light, ready to be enjoyed for generations to come. And we get to be part of its journey, we were there the moment it was born. It was neither huge, nor perfect, but it was beautiful in its own dark and twisted way.  Thank you all for following its journey, thank you for testing the multiple unfinished and painful iterations, thank you for sharing your feedback in these last three years, to make the game better. I managed to implement a lot from your feedback, but there is a lot more that I would like to do in future updates. So feel free to speak your mind

Launching and pricing - Vlad Voievod Dracula Ep. 1

After three years of working on the game, refining the concept over and over after player feedback, rebuilding everything from scratch (three times over), we finally have a game ready to be shipped and enjoyed by fans of the Classicvania genre! It's obviously not perfect, a lot of things can be improved, and are planned to be improved in future updates, but we have an awesome game for you! The full price is $8 (or $7.99 to be precise), to make it more affordable for most people, but it will launch with a 30% discount (so around $5.6) to reward the early adopters. I plan to offer the same 30% discount (+/- 5%) during Steam sales, and I plan to keep the same price for about 1-2 years. So if you're interested in the game, I encourage you to get it at launch, or during Sales events with this 30% discount, if you don't want to wait 1-2 years or more for a more significant occasional discount. (It's already affordable, don't wait 3 more years to save and extra $0.8, when

  Vlad Voievod Dracula: Dungeons of Edirne First gameplay footage! Most of the code for Dracula is done, we have two functional enemies, and mock-ups for the background graphics and HUD. There is still a lot of work, many enemies and obstacles are waiting to be added in the game engine, but we have a first preview that encapsulates the vision.  Awesome milestone!

  We have a launch date! Wishlist on Steam!  After three years of working on the game, refining the concept after player feedback, reworking everything from the ground up - we finally have a release date: 2 Oct. 2023. So check out the Steam to wishlist the game; the trailer is attached below!  Episode 2 is work in progress, but I'm also working on: VVD: Dungeons of Edirne (see preview here ). This is a minigame with GameBoy style graphics that takes place before Episode 1. While in the Ottoman capital of Edirne, Dracula explores the dungeons and recruits one of his knights that will join him in Episode 1. So the games are connected, but also different. Dungeons of Edirne introduces a health bar / multiple lives system (requested by players), here you play just with Dracula, one sword, one throwing weapon, and the camera will function a bit different - more updates on that later.   Launching: 2 Oct 2023!
