Here's my compressed version.

Note: This is an unofficial modified version of this game so if something goes wrong it goes wrong ;)

Image/audio/video quality is reduced to make this smaller. This is not a perfect process and sometimes can break a game. You've been warned so no complaining.

I think the font fits in with the theme of the game perfectly and is not hard to read. No reason to change it for the few people that have problems with it when they can change it themselves.

Highly stylized fonts work well as "Labels", such as "Character Names", "Titles", "Chapter Title Screens", "Place Names", "Dates & Times", but "Dialogue" should always be in an easily readable font.

It IS easily readable. Seriously I have read books with harder to read fonts. Why are people complaining about something that is not a problem and they could easily change if they wanted?

Personally I would agree, that this font is on the right side of readable/unreadable.

But I did find it more tiring and slower to read, then a simpler font would be. As the release is not very lengthy, at the moment, it is not a huge problem, but as the game grows it will impact the player more & more.

Then they should learn to read rather than complain. I don't mean to sound rude, but trying to get someone to change something so simple just because you(not you personally) can't seem to read it when others can read it just fine, is extremely selfish.

Alright... so I was a huge fan of your other game... and I have a feeling I'll be a huge fan of this. The writing is way better than I expected, the visuals are nice as usual, the girls are super cute, and I really love the lore/the setup of the story.

Most of all, I like how the story is being told/how you're not leaving out any details.

But there's one major, glaring problem that I hope isn't going to become the norm:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

One would think that in a vampire story, part of the eroticism is seducing/feeding on unsuspecting gals. At least... what the hell is the point of having an erotic vampire story if we're going to take some hard moral stance against feeding on women? Anyway, I don't know *why* it was the go-to choice or whatever. I'm not a patron or anything so if a reason exists, I haven't seen it.

But if this is going to be something that the story avoids just so that feathers aren't ruffled, it's going to severely dampen my hope for this game. The point of vampire stories is that they *are* dark. They're not meant to be pleasant. And feeding isn't meant to be some lighthearted, fun aspect of being a vampire.

I just hope this isn't some vanilla attempt to appease Patreon that we can expect to see for the rest of the game. I was pulling some serious gay vibes. If this is a gay story, tell us now. I don't have anything against games directed towards the gay crowd and whatnot, but they're not for me. And uh, before anyone even tries to say anything... sorry, but name me a straight dude that makes it a habit of sucking on other dude's necks. I'll wait. The MC didn't even speak up when she chose to charm a guy. How about a "can you pick someone who doesn't have a dick?" or something?

This left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended) after an episode that I greatly, sincerely enjoyed.
I think the dude thing was because our vampire "mentor" essentially gave us her prey in that scene. And she probably prefers men. After all, throughout this whole release MC is being lead around clueless about more things, so makes sense he wouldn't have much say in that either. Things will probably change as he starts mastering the whole vampire thing.

Hopefully you're right but that scene...

1. I think now it the time to change the filename to match the game title ^^
2. The font thing. I agree with pceney that it is readable, but there is nothing wrong with an option to use a more common font. I dont know how much work it is in renpy to add a font selection.
And I think it would look better if the label font is different from the text font.
Just as an example. The dialog font is a bit more common, but the name is a bit more extravagant.

For continuous text, a less complex font is simply more pleasant. For the names and interface elements, on the other hand, you can use a more unique font.

Ok - but now I will play the update ... :p

interesting game concept, I like the looks of it too.
Only thing its missing for me, is for such a long intro it has no sex scenes.

Great start, the game takes a lot of inspiration from the Masquerade lore so anyone who played and loved VTMB (like me :sneaky:) will find himself right at home here; the renders look great and the writing is obviously the work of someone who knows what he is doing (unlike in many other games), the plot is well written so far as all the characters we've met, Sharon is particularly worthy of mention (her dialogue with the MC at the club was great :LOL:); this game has a TON of potential and if the dev handles it well it will become something great.

Exactly the reply i was hoping for. i Grew up with vampire the masquerade, the PNP games, even purchused the clan books (Gamebook was green, ventrue and Toreador) and some novels too (games, all), thats why i recognized the rose from the Toreador, as well as the Domination power from Sharon, i think. Was more of a Ventrue guy myself but each his/her.... NOT Nosferatu, realy good broke dealers but creepy and Malkavians....... if you can controll them. Anyways gonna watch this one closely, it realy got 30y of potential, devs ruined it if they want. Bottom line... go for it.


Ups forgot the quote, the one above me from "TheFinder".



BTW you thinking of putting Assamites in the game? Or "Diabore" (the full suck of blood to get other clan's powers)?
