Who is your favorite potential side love interest? This is another copy of the poll we recently ran on Discord. Feel free to vote again. You've previously stated which of the main characters were your favorite, now I'm curious which of the side characters you are more interested in? You can choose more than one!

Hi,
I'm still working on version 0.8, making new renders and animations for the next story update.
In the meantime,
As you may have heard, a while back Itch.io delisted all adult games. In addition to this, they had a long disruption in processing payments, most likely from many authors requesting payouts at the same time. Many of us waited 30+ days or more with no payments being processed. Itch has not told us what the fu...
Hi,
It can be hard to estimate a real number on progress percentage, since certain parts go quicker than others, but version 0.8 is coming along. Coding has become quite fast now, while rendering is still the bottle neck.
The game development is essentially split into 3 parts: Writing, rendering and coding.
There is a lot of post processing done on the renders, but I've got that streamlined down to where it is a quick process.
I'm pretty much constantly writin...

Hey everyone,
First, a huge welcome to all our new supporters and a heartfelt thanks to those who’ve been here from the start, you’re the reason this project keeps growing.
I’m deep into work on Version 0.8, which pushes the story into the next day (Friday) of the game world. It’s a big one, so it’ll take me a couple of months to get just right. In the meantime, I’ll keep sharing progress so you can follow along.
So what’s in store for 0.8?
...
Hello,
Version 0.7.6 is now live. This version does not include any new content. It is simply a bug and dialogue typo fix. Some scenes have been further optimized for animations, so if you had problems with crashes or slow performance, this version should fix that.
If 0.7.5 was already running fine for you, no need to download this version.
Now I am back to working on 0.8 with new scenes.
Thank you!
Trailer for IWATV 0.7.5
I Was a Teenage Vampire is a narrative-driven adult visual novel, paying homage to the sex comedies, horror flicks, and dramas of the late '80s. Think The Lost Boys meets Fast Times at Ridgemont High, with a dash of Risky Business and a whole lot of VHS grit.
The story follows a group of misfits navigating their final weeks of class in the sleepy town of Silver Lake, 1989. You play as a broke teenager trying to scrape together enough cash for a car, jugglin...

As some of you may have heard, there’s been a wave of policy changes across both Steam and Itch.io regarding adult content. Itch.io has already begun delisting all adult games pending review, and this affects every developer working in this space, myself included.
Because of this, I’ve had to take a closer look at some scenes in the new update. While I’m not pla...

Hi everyone,
Quick update on my work for version 0.7.5 of I Was A Teenage Vampire. Here are a few preview shots to give you a taste of what’s coming. This update includes several new scenes: a special invitation from Lorie, a little adventure at Cheddar’s Pizza, some expanded details at Bellecorp, and a few more threads pulling you deeper into the vampire mystery.
I’m aiming to have this build ready by the end of the month.
Some of you have as...

Hey everyone. Here’s an exclusive look at my roadmap for developing I Was a Teenage Vampire. The story is getting deeper, the nights are getting bloodier, and MC finally found a job... but has he found love? Here’s what’s coming next.
This offers some insight into what to expect with development, and why your support here on Patreon means everything in helping me bring it to life. Releases are planned based on days as they happen in game, within the story itself. This all...
2025-05-31 23:32:17 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
The new update is finally here! Thank you for your patience, I know it has taken longer than expected, but rebuilding the entire game from scratch was a massive undertaking. I have been working steadily on it since December, and I am proud to say the foundation is much stronger now. Moving forward, updates should come faster since I have a much better handle on coding in Ren'Py.
You can download the new version from the updated link ...
Hi everyone,
The new build, version 0.7 will be available on Tuesday, April 29th
Thank you for your support.
Good news, everyone!
I'm not dead...
Instead, I’ve been silently working away to deliver the update many of you have been waiting for!
I’ve completely rebuilt the game from the ground up using a new engine. That means: No more janky navigation, no more gameplay bugs, just a smoother, cinematic visual novel experience
This has taken a huge amount of work... most of the original script was buried in Unity’s nod...

Working to get this next update finished hopefully this week.
I get asked a lot what my process is. To make everything, I render every scene and person in Daz3D or Blender first for reference. Then I draw over top of it in Photoshop and add several filters. This takes an extremely long time but it gives me a unique look that I really enjoy.
Savannah is one of my favorite characters. A secret is that most of my characters are based on real people and are meticulously designed from my...
The next update includes some scenes like MC getting a job and helping Astrid relieve some stress at the office.
Chrissy gives him a reward for helping her at school.
MC can ask some girls to come to the photography studio for private shoots. Depending on their relationship, they will be willing to do various types of photos.
Coming soon...
Some people have expressed exploration in the game is too difficult, so I'm trying out ways to simplify it such as interacting with the environment through menu options and automatic movement.
In the latest version, for example when you first meet Clarissa, the player automatically walks up to her rather than requiring the player to manually click on her. During Day 4, the player automatically walks betw...
Please see the link at the top of the page to download the latest version from Itch.io
If you have a chance, please rate the game on Itch, it helps a lot.
I hope you enjoy the return to this story! For players who like Clarissa there is some extra spicy content as long as you have played your cards right.
This new version adds more content to day 3 and begins day 4.
I will be adding more scenes to day 4 soon and fixin...
Here are the notes for the update coming soon. I am trying to get this finished in the next few days. I just need to finish a couple more scenes and do some bug checking.

Lorie is getting some character development in the next update! What do you think happened in the hallway image here?

Hi all, I apologize about the long absence and lack of update! Unfortunately for some time I was busy dealing with problems in everyday life and work.
Right now I am finishing a huge update for the game to be released in April which will double the current content. There are new scenes for all characters and the next day in the story.
Thank you to everyone who has been following this project!
Here are some previews of the next version. The story continues with the player returning to school to investigate what happened to his missing friend. Your teacher Ms. Smith helps to add some details to the mystery and might offer you some cookies if you are nice. You can also make some phone calls to friends and will have more options for that in the future. You can explore some new areas around town and might even make some new friends if you play your cards right... Thank you all fo...
2023-05-22 07:02:51 +0000 UTC View PostWould you like to see more horror elements in the game? Not things like jump scares but more monsters, blood and darker aspects. 
I am working on the next version to release soon. The update will have a journal detailing what to do, guiding the player along. Eventually the journal will show your relationship status with other characters so you can track how your choices effect how much they like/dislike you. There are new scenes at the school with your school mates and teachers, progressing the main story as well as some scenes at Bellecorp for more plot around their family. Bugs such as, not being able to g...

Feel free to write in a comment for "someone else".
Another awesome request from one of our Directors.

Still working on the new update. This time of year is very busy!
Day 3 will introduce some new important characters and potential love interests as well as further your relationship with the existing ones.
Thank you all for your patience!
Working on finishing up the next update with Day 3 of the story and v0.0.5
This update will open up some new areas and allow for more exploration while the player does some detective work. Will the MC get a job? More importantly will he finally get laid? Stay tuned to find out...
Also working on window resizing options and improving cursors/hit boxes.
Thank you all for your support!
