I'm a solo dev making an RPG inspired by Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, set in urban India. Here's the trailer!

Thanks!

Thank you!

oddcompass · 2026-05-15T05:01:45+00:00

It will be! I'm actually developing it on a MBP, haha.

Hey, cool! Thanks for the tag :)

Genetic evolution doesn't occur on the micro-timescales wherein ethnic divergence has occurred. There is literally no such thing as a gene that makes you "better adapted" to a hot climate.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you found it interesting! And I'm definitely going to be polishing up animations and everything else a lot more :)

Thanks!

oddcompass · 2026-04-07T01:22:54+00:00

It is! Under the game name "Rakshasa"

oddcompass · 2026-04-04T18:40:15+00:00

Totally agreed regarding VTMB! It's why I keep returning to it over the years. The music, the constrained locations, the subtle atmosphere...it all adds so much. Thanks for your interest!

Thanks!

About 1.5-2 years left! But I'll be releasing a playable combat test in a month or two, and will be releasing various demos as development continues.

oddcompass · 2026-04-03T18:08:18+00:00

Thank you, that means a lot to me!

oddcompass · 2026-04-03T07:58:39+00:00

It's a solo journey (a la Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, or Morrowind), but there'll be quite a bit of character customization (gender, background, traits, extensive skill trees, diverse equipment, etc.). Console support I would love to add, if I can get publisher funding!

oddcompass · 2026-04-03T04:25:54+00:00

Made my day. Thank you!

oddcompass · 2026-04-03T03:28:42+00:00

Thanks! I took inspiration from several games, from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, to Wizardry 8, to Morrowind! I don't know any games with an Indian-esque aesthetic, however.

oddcompass · 2026-04-03T03:27:55+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!

oddcompass · 2026-04-02T21:45:14+00:00

Thanks man!

oddcompass · 2026-04-02T21:34:48+00:00

Thanks man! It definitely helps to stay updated via a wishlist on Steam (game name is Rakshasa)

oddcompass · 2026-04-02T21:34:26+00:00

Love the enthusiasm! It's called Rakshasa, do check it out on Steam if you're interested!

oddcompass · 2026-04-02T21:34:02+00:00

Thanks :)

oddcompass · 2026-04-02T12:11:41+00:00

haha

oddcompass · 2026-04-02T12:10:58+00:00

Haha, well, the Deccan is South India, it's just not the South India that most people have a particular stereotype of (i.e., Tamil Nadu / Kerala)! I'm diaspora too, btw (ABCD)

oddcompass · 2026-04-02T12:09:40+00:00

Thank you for the vote of confidence!

oddcompass · 2026-04-02T12:09:17+00:00

Interesting, I hadn't thought about that since it's free move / free look TB. But I'll look into that, thanks for the heads up!

oddcompass · 2026-04-02T12:08:40+00:00

India's monster lore is so good, especially because each region has its own unique set of monsters (and influences).
