Cool, fun screen shake, cool concept, good sound effects. Really nice UI. I am unable to progress past the first level, is that a bug? When I beat the first level and click "Main Menu", the level complete screen stays up and covers the main menu so I can't buy anything.

Nice work!

serpentworks-games 2018-04-24 01:38

Oh dear! That is def a bug. Thanks for letting me know @Chris Hall!

chris-hall 2018-04-24 01:40

Sounds good! Lmk if you fix it and I'll play again!

serpentworks-games 2018-04-24 01:50

@Chris Hall Easy enough fix! Had to fix some other UI bugs in the process. It should be all good to go now unless something else breaks terribly.

The sound is too loud. Even if you turn it off.

Hm I still have the same issue on the Windows build of 1.03, heres what it looks like when I return to the main menu. When I beat the first level, what is the correct way to progress to the next level? Maybe I am doing it wrong lol vampire main menu screenshot.png

That is... So odd. Hmmm. Might be something on my end with how it's checking the level index to load. I will investigate this.

EDIT: there's a good chance the script didn't save before I built the exe when I went to fix it. Once I can start at code without my eyeballs aching I'll check on that.

Thank you so much for your patience :bow:

Haha sounds good. I still have a headache from this weekend xD

Nice concept! I really enjoyed playing and get upgrades. Great job :)!!

sabeurre 2018-04-24 08:52

Nice graphics, sound are a bit too loud, and there is some bugs with the input reading (pressing E key, activate again, and again dialogs) but pretty nice game ! :smile:

Love the idea of continuing to deliver the news even after being turned into a vampire. It is quite hard to bite people, or maybe I just didn't get how to do it ...

serpentworks-games 2018-04-24 08:59

@Al3x3d thank you! I will!

@tokkiseul thank you!

@Sabeurre Yeah, that's a known issue. There's something up with the trigger colliders and for the life of me I can't figure out how to fix it. Thanks for playing!

@Corbak It's related to the above bug unfortunately! You're fine, you just gotta like charge the villager to bite them. Thanks for playing!

I didn't get it at all the first time :sweat_smile: just died and exited the game. But it's good to see you continue developing and improvint it :thumbsup:

serpentworks-games 2018-04-25 22:13

@roaderful Oh no! I'm sorry about that; player feedback and giving information to the player is on the list of things to work on.

Thanks for trying it out though!

Simple blood sucking, paper delivering fun.

ente 2018-04-27 23:20

Hey Nice concept. I didn't really get what advantages talking to people and sucking their blood brings... And I think the stats don't change, when you buy the sun and shadow enhancer thing.

coachsisyphus 2018-04-27 23:43

Love delivery!

serpentworks-games 2018-04-27 23:51

@Ente Good to know about the stats. I'll look into it. :)

northernhawk 2018-04-28 16:25

Nice concept! I didn't understand the "sucking blood" mechanics also the, way shooting mechanics feel a little bit clumsy. I didn't like the fact that you have to go back to the main menu to progress to the next level, that should be easily fixed with the Unity Scene manager. Good job!

miroky 2018-04-28 19:23

I didn't get the mix of genres... But I had a great time!

alejandrodecea 2018-04-28 19:26

Talking with the characters didn't seem to have much effect on the gameplay itself, but it felt nice when shooting the enemies and dodging them!

sebastianscaini 2018-04-29 19:50

This is the most aggressive newspaper throwing I have ever experienced!

serpentworks-games 2018-04-29 23:55
