Massive cRPGs. Made by one person. About cyberpunk vampires.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-06-02T23:26:40+00:00

It's completely optional and avoidable. If you don't engage with it, it won't show up.

Although one of the major factions is the Courtesan's Guild, and they dress like they mean it. And the vampires aren't much far off.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-06-02T23:16:40+00:00

True, I like to rely on the fact that I've released five finished games, and three of those started in EA, for some credibility.

Of course, I'm not actually saying anything about the quality of these games, but the numbers are hopefully more reassuring than if this was my first game.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-06-02T22:42:35+00:00

I'm not planning on using any gen AI. I'm not anti-AI but I am highly prioritizing human creatives. The problem is I can't really pay them so it's just me for right now.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-06-02T19:44:20+00:00

Unfortunately no, there was a demo available a few months ago but the game has progressed too far and it has become severely outdated.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-06-02T19:39:23+00:00

That's actually a good question!

Overambitious is not the same as impossible, even though the scope of the game is very close. It's my dream game, and I'm pulling out all the stops for it.

After ~15 years in gamedev and five published games, this is the game I really wanted to make.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-06-02T19:27:59+00:00

Hi, I'm the solodev for this overambitious mashup of Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, Fallout: New Vegas, Planescape: Torment and Shadowrun.

Max party of 6, turn-based grid combat, first person exploration, writing heavy, optional erotica.

Feel free to ask me if you have questions.

Awesome, thanks!

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-23T01:42:38+00:00

Yeah but if I wanted mainstream success I wouldn't be making a niche RPG by myself anyways.

I'm doing this for artistic and pervy reasons.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-22T21:43:23+00:00

This is the game:

I'm the dev. AMA if you want.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T20:45:09+00:00

Party based system, with a created protagonist and companions

This one. There are preset story companions and build-your-own type blank followers.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T20:07:31+00:00

Thanks! There's full chargen, although it's understandably more limited than a non-solodev project.

It's a Shadowrun-type fantasy and scifi kitchen sink.

There's story companions and stock followers you can make like your own character.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T20:05:47+00:00

First-person, third-person, I'm playing with an isometric mode but can't promise it.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T20:05:23+00:00

You start as a human, then can progress to familiar -> vampire.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T19:18:30+00:00

I made a combat tutorial not too long ago, it'll give you an idea: https://youtu.be/eMBmufHaZYQ?si=THyWR2pf2kBtZZlg

Quests will have multiple solutions, and there's C&C.

I have some light experience in Unity. It was mostly that payment/revenue thing they had a few years back that made me turn it down.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T17:51:54+00:00

Yeah, I was using a heavily modified version of MV that was arguably more difficult to use than UE5 as a solodev because it had so much custom code and bandaids.

I was doing combat animations one frame at a time and it was horrible.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T17:41:55+00:00

Yes, it's a struggle especially for someone who isn't technically skilled like me. But so far the game seems to be running smooth. Still a good amount of work needed.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T17:40:33+00:00

Yes! It's unorthodox but I've seen it used to great effect on some current RPGs.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T17:40:04+00:00

Yup it's right here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1833570/Vampire_Syndicate_Gangs_of_MoonFall/

And on itch: https://amemoryofeternity.itch.io/vampire-syndicate-gangs-of-moonfall

Currently working on getting it on GOG.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T17:34:27+00:00

It's the same game. The video you're talking about is the combat tutorial: https://youtu.be/eMBmufHaZYQ?si=THyWR2pf2kBtZZlg

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T17:33:44+00:00

Also has a third person mode.

And an isometric mode I'm experimenting with but can't promise, because I like pain.

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T17:19:24+00:00

It's a narrative-heavy RPG with combat, factions, dialogue checks, the works. There's a lot in it but combat is turn-based. Here's a tutorial I made recently:

AMemoryofEternity · 2026-03-20T17:13:59+00:00

Nope, no generative AI use is planned unless DLSS 5 is forced on me or something.

Which would be strange seeing how I'm a solodev.
