Deathblight RPG - public release

We just released Deathblight RPG second release on Patreon, and with that, here comes the first public release of Deathblight RPG.

It's only the first version which is public, so contrary to the second version it only contains the first half of the first level.
Deathblight RPG is a FREE game, it will not be sold once it's fully completed.
So everyone gets to play the second version sooner or later.

You can download the first public version here:


Also, you need the RPG Maker VX Ace RTP which you can get from the official website:


Here is a changelog of what's different in the second version:
Changelog Release02 - 29/03/2017:

- Added second half of first dungeon!
-> You can now finish the first mission and fight the bosses
-> All associated cutscenes, battles and CG-scenes have been implemented

- Added NPC-Girls in cells in first dungeon

- Added secret Ferania cutscene
-> If you want to find and trigger it, you have to be alone with Ferania in a certain location

- Changed intro slightly to allow players to freely move around and explore the hotel room when first entering
-> Can't leave the room, if you want to leave, talk to Minori to advance the intro
-> Important objects "sparkle" (Closet, beds)

- Added Mission Log/Guide/CG-Album at PC in hotel room
-> CGs and CG scenes viewable after finishing dungeon

- Changed dialogue timing in intro, for better flow (some lines now advance automatically)

- Added skip function to CG-scenes (game asks you if you want to watch the scene)
-> Only the capture scenes have it for now, not the overall "Game Over" scene

- Added cloth-changing and character-viewing mechanic to wardrobe in hotel room
-> Go to hotel room, speak to one of the two wardrobe/closets in the bedroom
-> "Change clothes" is for restoring clothes and removing the "Torn", "Naked" and "Slave" states
-> "Look into mirror" is for viewing the chosen characters current outfit/state (full-size picture)

- Added healing to beds in hotel bedroom
-> Speak to one of the upper double-beds to take a rest and heal HP and RST

- NPCs now react differently to the player (party leader, e.g. Ferania), based on their state (Torn, Nude, Slave)

- Inreased Minori's "Ryuuseiha" skill to 30 (was 20)



New CG scenes have been written by Sierra Lee.

The second release will be made public once the third release hits Patreon.
This means, Patrons are always 1 step ahead of the public releases.
Patrons get early access because they support the development of the game and make all of this possible in the first place.

Thank you very much to everyone who's supporting us either on Patreon, by spreading the word about our stuff, or in whichever way you might help.
It really means a lot to us!

Deathblight RPG status report + Character popularity vote #3

First things first:

Let's start with a quick status update on "Deathblight RPG - Operation Thunderfang".
Most likely, if no major bugs appear last minute, we should be able to release the second version of Deathblight RPG to Patreon this month, and this means the first version will be released to the public as well.

In case you're wondering, we're mostly posting status updates (usually several times a month) on Patreon and updating the blog only once in a while with major updates.
(Patreon is small updates all the time, as well as previews, access to new graphics and earlier builds of the game etc.)


What's left to do until we can release it:

- playtesting and bugfixing
- implementing the last few events into the game
- Boss game over CG scene
- 2 more capture graphics for the combat system
- 2 more hentai graphics for the combat
- all enemy graphics fleshed out in full quality
- boss enemy graphics
- secret extra
- pixel graphics for the NPCs
- rebalancing of the combat

(the crossed out things have already been taken care of at the moment this blogpost had been made public)

The 2 remaining graphics for the combat system will be finished in todays live stream.
We would be happy if you'd stopped by to watch!
Also, feel free to ask questions about Deathblight RPG, the webcomic, or Crescentia's artworks in general.

The live stream will be today (saturday) 4th march 21:00 GMT +1.
Obviously it will contain NSFW content.

We're also announcing our live streams on twitter:

After that, we'll only need to finish the remaining CG scene and implement everything into the game as well as do testing and bugfixing.
It's still some work, but we're close to the next release.



Now for the third character popularity vote:

It's been a while since the last one, and we're always eager to see which of our characters are more liked than others. This has no influence on our current game projects, but it might help us to understand which of our characters are more popular than others, and this might help us improve some of our other characters.

As usual, the vote will be running for about 4 weeks, and you can vote on multiple characters at once.

Here's a list of the characters along with pictures of everyone to help you identify who's who.


Demon Hunters:

Ferania
Minori
Chiira









Claire
Aurora
Catheline









Faye













Phantoms:

Empress
Laika










Hyena
Schnee












Others:

Esmoda
Grizelda


Bahia
Mia






Banshee
Shiwa












The vote will be running until 31st march.
Have fun voting and see ya!
(and yes, the next blogpost will most likely include a download of the first public release of Deathblight RPG)
