Random Aside - Dork's scrapped game

Kinda just wanted to talk about a scrapped project from like 5 years ago lool

The images are a mix of old concept visuals and stuff recreated from my memories (because a lot of the concept visuals don't exist anymore lmao)

The game takes place in a medieval fantasy setting. The player controls a little knight who stumbles upon a dying vampire in the middle of a forest.

It turns out that she's the princess of a royal vampire family, but she got kicked out of her home [for reasons i hadn't decided on]. Since she was lacking in blood and weak, the monsters of the forest were hunting her down. The player offers their blood to the vampire.

The player then helps the vampire princess make her way back to her home, while helping her through her personal issues and her weirdly toxic family.

The gameplay is similar to Vampire Survivors. The only controls available are moving around, and a button to let the vampire suck your blood and fill her meter. The vampire fights automatically for the player, shooting out blood bullets, releasing bats, etc. Her skillset would depend on how the player builds her with items and skilltrees.

Each "stage" would consist of waves of monsters, and then a "stage boss". The boss would be one of the vampire princess' sisters, who each represents an insecurity of the vampire princess. i.e. an uptight sister to represent the princess' clumsiness, a smart sister to represent the princess' ditzniess, etc.

By defeating the boss, the player helps the vampire princess overcome each insecurity.

Between the stages, there would be a visual-novel style sequence where the player gets to talk to the vampire princess. Choices made during these scenes would matter, and they would determine what ending the player gets. If the vampire princess doesn't work through all her personal issues, the game would result in a bad ending.

• I'm a big fan of Kiss-Shot, so the plot ended up being very similar to Kizumonogatari.

• I had the idea for this game around the time Helltaker came out, which inspired me to make characters who all follow a similar design scheme. Much like how the characters of Helltaker all have white hair and wear suits, these vampire girls all have red hair and have unique horns.
