Hi Lachie,

Thanks for taking the time to help out.
I appreciate this kind of feedback and you are probably right.
The perspective of the items plays in my head.
I'll have to find a solution to that.

I have been working constantly since my last post.
The release is next monday and there's plenty to do.
We came up with the idea to let every level have a doorkeeper who will only let you pass once you paid a certain amount of money to him.
Kinda like a corrupt vampire bouncer.

First I came up with was a bat-like heavy dude with his arms crossed.
And hated everything about it.



Then i decided to do something smaller and drew inspiration from the little mean dude that sits next to jabba the Hut: Salacious Crumb.



Here he is, eating a bag of chips.
I imagined that we found a way to entertain himself while sitting on that bench the whole day. Doing guard duty.
It will be very odd to see him eat his chips while the player is murdering his kindred in the same room.

Of course, animating it took me longer than I imagined.
I'll be posting some more in the following days.

Hi all,

Me and my friend just released the first version of our game Pimps vs Vampires.
We did it for a jam where you get 7 days to make something.

It's hard to put the game down on a genre. Especially in this early state.
But it's best described as a top-down turn-based shooter.
It's also about the eternal war between the vampires and the pimps.

Would you mind if I use this topic to keep you updated on developments?
I'm not sure if I get banned when I provide links so let's say this:
-You can dm me for a download link



i'll also be posting updates on my

Tell me what you think.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my game.

I agree that from this screenshot the enemy's rod color is questionable.
Part of the anwser is that there are 5 levels. This level happens to be reddish.
But this wont be the case with all of them.

We are considering adding purple to the mix.
Visibility might indeed be a viable partypooper.

I am trying stuff without background outlines,

The demo is out soon.
We'll look at the response.

Thanks man. I think this might be it.
Actually most helicopters have 2 blades so in theory it would always have the same length from the side. But we need this stuff to animate!
I'll give it a try.



Close enough, Many thanks Wurfle!
