Creatures of the night,

In todays devlog weve got plenty of news straight from Dracula's Castle , Transylvania. The main being the creation of Tavern .

The place is to become essential in your future adventures as its the first quest hub in our production.

Speaking of quests - weve added 2 new quests as well as a new mechanic being the time limited quests.

To make sure youll enjoy interacting with the in game characters weve been working on the new dialogue system which now supports branching dialogue!

We know that from time to time even the most committed vampire needs a break from the blood , thats why the water was changed and now is a collectible resource.

Not only have we improved the dialogue system but also worked on the fighting mechanics!

Your upcoming battles are to become more challenging as from now on, you can be fought by multiple enemies simultaneously. The post processing has also been added for better visuals. Youll also know exactly what youve gained after defeating your opponents thanks to the loot grid added to the victory screen

Weve also made sure to let you all track your stats with the Dracula panel. This panel will also feature the talent tree we plan to implement later on.

We are also working on steam achievements with the first one already added on the platform

There are also many smaller but not less significant changes weve made to the game. Dracula now heals while staying in the castle and the game tracks his location more consistently - no more teleporting. Expanding the castle upwards is also going to require an ever increasing amount of resources.

Last but not least, technical upgrades!

More UI and font improvements
Ultrawide resolution support added
Performance and loading improvements in the castle scene
Rebalanced sound throughout the game
Credits button added to main menu

We value your opinions and want our production to meet your expectations. Please give us your suggestions in the comments below this devlog and join our discord to discuss with other members of the community. To make sure you dont miss on any further updates please add our game to your wishlist.

BUILD

Manage the castle by expanding it, then build and unlock new rooms granting new mechanics to explore. The Alchemist will allow you to equip Dracula with mystical tools, unlock the bat cave to improve Dracula's Mist Form. The more you expand, the more your labour force can grow. You'll need to grow your army of servants in order to accumulate enough soil to sail to England on the Demeter.

EXPLORE

Travel Transylvania by night but watch out for Van Helsing. Stalk the towns of Transylvania, on the hunt for fresh blood, or attempt to overwhelm them to gain powerful bonuses. Feast, recruit laborers or "invite" a guest to the castle, the choice is yours. You'll need to entrap Jonathan Harker to fulfill Dracula's dark designs.

CUSTOMIZE

Grow Dracula's power the way you want to. Dracula possesses different attributes such as Power, Cunning, Speed, Charm and Magick. Choose which ones to train and equip the right relics for your build. Build new monsters at the Alchemist's Lab utilising recipes found in the Necronomicon! Craft or acquire new gear throughout your adventure.

FIGHT

Engage angry mobs, town militia and even dedicated vampire hunters in exciting tactical turn-based combat. Leverage Dracula's powerful abilities and forms to outwit and overwhelm the enemy. The spoils of battle are yours! Hand over curios and materiel to the Castle Alchemist to craft new items and raise new monsters to join Dracula's dark menagerie.

QUEST

Follow the early plot of Bram Stoker's masterpiece, the main goal centers around Jonathan Harker, Van Helsing and the trip to Carfax Abbey in England; but plenty needs doing in the dark corners of Transylvania. Engage in various side-quests given to you by Death and other denizens of the castle as you work on building up Dracula's regional power.
