[Question] Vampire creation + Coven management?
Added 2023-06-01 01:39:08 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Our programmer is wrapping up the character creator and soon he'll start the NPC schedule and relationship system. Something we were discussing about today, was that this is the right time to expand NPC interactions as a whole and tie several systems (including kinks, puppeteers, daily schedule, toysystem, influence, loyalty and negotiation) together in the same framework.
And an idea came to mind: What if you could create new vampires during gameplay?
What would you expect of a system like that? Would you like to have a way to control your newly born vampire in the world sandbox just for fun while waiting for new quests to be released? What about companions?
Let us know your thoughts because even though we already have a solid plan, now is the right time to hear your feedback and ideas so we can hopefully grow this system towards a direction that you directly contributed!

I think its a good idea. For the lonely theme at the base of the story, now she need allies. She will still be an independant one, the Ruler but have a companion which she can trust.

2023-06-06 10:46:59 +0000 UTCIt's more or less along these lines that we are thinking. And also to maybe play as them in the sandbox. Not on quests though. Just some animal hunting and negotiation with bandits. Things more related to the content we already have

You are right that the companion part can increase the complexity significantly if it involves many reactions to many different events. Maybe, you could consider a concept whereby you allow the companion(s) in a sandbox environment / at home but where the main character still has to venture out on her own for the quests. She can find solace in her own world but is alone when venturing out to meet the adventures. Something like that, maybe?

2023-06-05 16:16:39 +0000 UTCI'm a little on the fence about the companion system because it can take away a bit of the idea of being a lonely vampire. Also because it would mean that we need to add their reactions to certain events. But we have some other plans that once we have it better formatted I'll be really, really excited to say.
