It’s been a few months since our last update and as we wrap up 2024, I wanted to share what we’ve been working on.
I’ve been adding new characters, but I want to highlight Arthur, our resident museum curator with a peculiar fascination for ancient artifacts.
You’ll be able to collect various artifacts you find in the world in the museum and even auction them off for gold. Naturally, higher-tier and wealthier visitors will be willing to spend more, making this an excellent way to earn additional gold.
As a vampire, the sun is not your friend! Lingering too long in the morning hours will result in some crispy consequences. You’ll incinerate - losing blood and gold. Make sure you get back to your coffin (or at the very least, indoors) in time! However, as you rise through the ranks of the vampiric council and grow stronger, you’ll be able to resist the sunlight a little longer with the help of some nifty crafting recipes.
We’ve been focusing on worldbuilding, drawing inspiration from vampire mythos and popular media. Be sure to interact with and examine objects to uncover pieces of lore and even new crafting recipes.
Based on feedback, I’ve introduced a larger homestead area south of the town where you can build your farm and place crafting stations as you please. This area is still a work in progress but it will include new structures that you can repair and upgrade over time. You’ll need to complete a few quests to unlock this area first.
A big thank you to our closed beta testers! I’m happy to report that your feedback has been addressed along with many other issues. Keep an eye out for a new build in the coming weeks with tons more content as we push towards Early Access in 2025.
As we close out the year, we want to express our gratitude to all who have supported Vampire Rancher’s development! As a tiny team, your enthusiasm keeps us going. Wishing everyone a happy and restful holiday season and a fantastic new year.
