Game Idea

Hey guys! I've been at the drawing board lately, and I've come up with an idea for the next itch.io game:

The game takes place in a fictional city where tons of low quality B horror movies are filmed. You play as a technician working on one of these films and deal with the troubled production of an extremely awful homoerotic sci-fi horror flick, and all the supernatural events that are happening in the town, from claims of men being attacked by bats to handsome actors showing up to work pale and talking about feeling drained. (No, not in that way.)

Ever since I started working on games, I've wanted to approach 2 subjects, really bad old movies (Unleash was designed to feel like an old noir B movie, but was made for a game jam so it had limited scope) and vampires, so I figured why not combine them since vampires have a flair for the dramatic, and are known for using a lot of kinky powers that show up in B movies, like hypnosis, transformation, and domination. Needless to say, the vampires in this game would  be bearish and not the more mainstream sexy vampires you see in other stuff. Also they'd be extremely gay.

The game would be a mechanical sequel to Dysmorph, but probably not a literal one. That game has 20 endings and I'll be damned if I'm gonna try and decide which one is the canon finale. (The one where you marry a minotaur and have lots of sex with him is really high on my list though! ;P)

I want to include RPG elements, like consumable items, HP, spells, and more in-depth battles that put emphasis the player's choices, but don't want to make it the focus of the game, similar to how the classic The Ur-Quan Masters places a heavy emphasis on interacting with aliens and gathering resources to save your planet but also has decent amount of space battles. I definitely wouldn't have experience points or expect the player to grind though, and like everything else I've made, there'd be no real game over state.

I'm also toying with the idea of the main character becoming a vampire at some point during his adventure but I'm not sure.

What do you think? Do you like the ideas? Do you think the vampires are a good fit, but aren't big on the RPG elements or vice-versa? Lemme know in the comments, or if you're shy a private message. Depending on how well received this idea is, I might start work on development this month!

In other news my birthday is tomorrow, and my air conditioning is broken, so while I'm having cake, there aint gonna be no candles because there's no way im adding more heat to the air @,@

See you guys later, and enjoy your weekend! :D
