This is precisely why I enjoyed CBDE (despite it testing my nerves with its grindiness and terrible combat). It helps I'm a sucker for D&D drow, but I feel Darktoz really captured the characters well enough that the game transcended its porn nature. A pity he never developed a sequel, he had all the building blocks to branch off into a full RPG set in a dark elven city. Could've made a legit game out of it, too (with a hefty dose of smut, of course).
Thank you! And yeah,
VtMB is definitely one of the best old-school games ever made, right up there with
Morrowind for me. The
World of Darkness as a setting is full of dominant women, it'd be child's play to write a femdom game in it. And you don't even have to suspend disbelief like in so many other games - older vampires are a lot stronger than younger ones, and there's a bunch of mommy vamps who are highly-ranked in their respective organization like the Camarilla. So not only can they dominate the Player physically due to age/power, they can do it socially through status/orders, and also mentally by (ab)using various blood Disciplines. I mean, the game practically writes itself! If I wasn't working on
ToLLA, I'd probably be doing a vamp-themed game, I love that setting so much. It's one of the few IPs that naturally gravitates towards femdom - even if you're not super hardcore into it, the whole setting nudges you in that direction. And cainites' whole society is built on hierarchies, adding yet
another layer that reinforces the femdom/seduction premise.
Possibly... But that never stopped any of the other IP-knockoff porn games out there. Most of their devs flag the projects as parodies, which gives them enough legal coverage to evade banhammers on Patreon. I think it's more that the people making said games grew up with newer IPs like
Avatar and
Harry Potter and whatnot, so that's the settings they develop in -
World of Darkness was popular back in the 90s and early 00s, it's mostly gen X and older millennials who played it (and continue to do so). As one of the latter, I had high hopes for
Bloodlines 2, but Paradox screwed the pooch on that one... seems we're destined to never have mommy vamps bossing us around.
And there's such a huge market for it, too - look how much fanart

got!
God I miss the Hot Topic aesthetic of Bloodlines...
Lmao I get what you're saying. I have to mentally slap myself every time I write 'alright'. Though I fear it's gotten to the point where I'm about to give up and just start embracing the textual degeneracy!
Not yet, I'm waiting for our next release to drop so I can set up an account (it's a real pain in the ass setting up there, they make you jump through 1,000 hoops, and payouts are a hassle as well). But we're

if you wanna toss a few bucks our way and own a 'legit' copy of the game.
