Devlog #19 - Vampire Diaries and cpd's Roadmap
Vampire Diaries was the big update released into the game last month, adding new storylines, locations, characters and mechanics for those who choose the vampire mutation. Dozens of cards and thousands of words of new content were introduced, building onto the mythos of the vampire and showing their place in the border city of Cincinnati. You can now discover about the existence of covens, meet new vampires and learn about how they organise themselves and interact with the other organisations of the city. If youre a vampire yourself, you can even join a group of your peers.
This update also brought a new mechanic that impacts not only your character, but the city as a whole: Fear of the vampire. Its influenced by your actions and reflects the overall atmosphere of the city regarding vampires. Theres always fear of people being attacked in the night to have their blood siphoned, but how high that fear is will determine how the masses react to any hint of vampire activity. And how that affects you. There was also a lot of work on the food mechanics for vampire characters, giving more depth and variety to how you keep your need for blood sated. Many, many more changes and a lot more content were added for the vampire mutation, but we wont spoil it here. If you want to know more, make a character and pick the mutation. Theres a lot to discover.
Minor updates also introduced other changes. There was some balancing on pimp mechanics, new effects were added to waste poisoning, and some other cards received some work. As always, a lot of other small changes and tweaks were made, as well as typo and bug fixes. Thanks for all the reports.
But what about what's coming next to the game? Our next update, which will probably be released next week, has the usual range of material, but is mainly focused on more detailed mechanics and content for pimps. We wont spoil too much now, but its strongly recommended if youre a pimp to reduce the number of street prostitutes you have to around 20, if you currently have more than that. Dont worry if you still have a lot more than this when the update arrives, however. The core mechanic at play here is the concept of territory, and having too many prostitutes for the territory you have. But the penalty for having too many wont trigger straightaway, in order to give people time to make the changes needed.
Youve all been requesting a roadmap for a long time, and were finally releasing one, covering the next year or so. Weve kept it simple, and well keep it up to date as development progresses. You can check it out here: https://cyberpunkdreams.net/roadmap Thats all we have to share for today. If you want to read through all the changes released into the game, you can always find the detailed changelogs here on Steam. If you have a suggestion or want to talk about the game, the place to be is our discord server, all the discussion around cpd happens there. And if you havent already, check us out on twitter, we share something about the game there everyday. Thanks for reading, and until next time.

cyberpunkdreams Linux [1.1 G]
The city is spread before you, horizon to horizon, a vast sore squatting on the world. 24 million people, most of it lawless slum and favela. The last outpost of civilisation on the edge of the badlands. One of the most relevant, cosmopolitan cities in the world. Is it any wonder you ended up here?
cyberpunkdreams is an evolving text-based role-playing adventure with countless opportunities, and endless chances for destruction. Take on the role of a lone wanderer sent to the gates of 2090s Cincinnati. The dirt and grit from the badlands coats your clothes - with your memories torn from you, all you have is a weapon across your back and a mission to complete.
Enter a living, growing world, with new stories and other content each month, plus regular limited time events. You’ll always find new surprises waiting for you in Cinci's dark and dirty alleys.
Who will you become in this cesspool of a city? Will you play the games and climb to the top, or be forgotten amongst the march of time and tyranny?
![]()
Simple, uncompromising cyberpunk narrative
Enter a future grounded in reality: a world distorted by corporations and dominated by poverty. This is down to the bone cyberpunk, as raw as it gets. Experience just a turn of a corner away from our own, whether you're a genre expert or getting into cyberpunk for the first time.
![]()
Learn who you are through your actions & choices
Your abilities are intrinsically tied to your successes and failures. There are a multitude of ways to solve each problem you’ll encounter -- what you choose impacts not only your chances of making it out alive, but also how your character grows and experiences the world.
![]()
Choices have consequences, and the city remembers
Your choices aren’t detached from the lives of the people around you. Richly detailed NPCs will evolve on their own, remember and react to the alliances you announce, the mercy you give and the morals you stand by. If you’re looking for a true lesson of consequence, you’ve come to the right city.
![]()
Embrace yourself, flaws and all
cyberpunkdreams offers a highly customisable character creation system that continues throughout your entire time in Cincinnati. From your clothes and equipment, to your loadout and cybernetics, you are free to constantly upgrade and augment yourself however you choose... if you've got the cash.
With over 1.7 million words of content and updates at least once per month, you're in for one wild ride.
