Dev Updates March 2024
Few weeks ago I had a power surge at my place which made my laptop stop working. I had to order a cable for its component which is not available in India to get it repaired. I received the cable yesterday, but that was not the correct one. International shipping returns are more expensive than the actual product, so I ended up buying a new laptop. I have been setting up this new laptop all day long today for dev work. I should be be able to start working on XBox, Windows and Steam Deck builds again this week. Once I have everything setup, I will update the release date on the store page.
I have been using my M1 mac Air for mac development. And there have been some good performance improvements in the past few weeks. This was from 2 weeks ago. (Consistent 150FPS)
This is from Today (Consistent 200+ FPS)
Simple reason being not every one has a gaming laptop. I want the game to be able to run on older computers as well. I would love to see these performance gains on my Steam deck (which I will be testing in the coming days). ----------------------------- I hope this helps with understanding where the project is. Due to the lack of testing on other platforms, I am a little scared to update the release date. If you are not following the game on Steam, please feel free to do so on the store page. And as always, thank you for all the help and support. - Prateek

Performance Updates
I have been using my M1 mac Air for mac development. And there have been some good performance improvements in the past few weeks. This was from 2 weeks ago. (Consistent 150FPS)
This is from Today (Consistent 200+ FPS)
Why do these performance improvements matter?

Embark on an epic journey as Brocula, a vampire awoken from a 500-year slumber in a world unrecognizable to him. Stripped of his wealth, he must navigate the daunting maze of capitalism, taking on part-time jobs at the local garage, coffee shop, and restaurant to earn a meager living. But that's not all—his ancestral castle, now in ruins, poses another challenge. Work tirelessly to repair the dilapidated fortress, all while facing the bureaucratic hurdles of reclaiming its ownership from the town's mayor.
Engage in a captivating gameplay loop that revolves around money and societal struggles. Tend to your crops, cultivate a flourishing farm right next to the castle, and sell your harvest for profit. Immerse yourself in the art of fishing, honing your skills to reel in a bountiful catch that can be used for cooking delicious meals.
Yet, as a vampire, your responsibilities extend beyond mundane chores. Manage your cult, restoring the once-forgotten church and conducting regular sermons to gather the lifeblood you crave. Venture into the treacherous depths of the everchanging forest, an enigmatic dungeon teeming with monstrous creatures and valuable treasures, ripe for the taking.
Experience the rich tapestry of Brocula's world through stunning visuals showcased in our screenshots and cinematic trailer. Will you rise against the perils of capitalism, reclaim your heritage, and forge your own destiny? Unleash the immortal within and embark on an unforgettable quest!"
