 Happy Hollowed Month, Everyone. I'm Grimwit and this is Bloodlust. I'm jumping on this game right as it leaves the gate because a. It's October and it's time to be spooky! b. This is the kind of 90's Vampire: the Masquerade, Forever Knight, Blade, Lost Boys that I can revel in. c. I got a lot of stress in my life and I just miss playing games for fun. Istead of these high effort videos and art projects. Figured we'd all have a good time ;earning about this game together. So, What is Bloodlust? Retro Vampire RPG with proceduraly generated dungeons. Not a loot fest, per se, but the reviews I read say Bloodlust have a lot of enphesis on exploration. The graphics are second rate, but the music is good and even though it's an indie game made by a one man team (citation needed), it has full voice acting. Basically, it's an indie labor of love with ambition. Also, we can spawn our own family of vampires. Why hasn't anyone else thought of this? How are we going to play this? Blind. I have no idea what the game is going to throw at me and, in the interest of just relaxing, I'll play as we go. You throw in some ideas yourself, or, Hell, if you want to do your own blind LP, I'll throw it on the OP. Basically, I wanna have fun and take you all along for the ride. I say in the video that I'll update three times a week for the month of October, but this game is actually fun to play, so I may update more often. Never more than once a day, however. Spoilers? Black box that poo poo. I don't want to know what's going on, but from the looks of it, it wouldn't surprise me. Still, maybe others want to play, too, so be courteous, yo. To set the record straight, this game is cheeserific. As much as I riff on it and some of the silliness, I love this kind of thing. Makes me wish they still made B-grade vampire flicks from the 90's. LEt's get into it, yo! The Spooky Videos! Part 1: Blood Scarecrow Part 2: Floating Blood Head Part 3: Bl-LASER-SPIDER!!! Part 4: Blood Wall Stuck Part 5: Blood Nina Part 6: Blood Passage Part 7: Blood Buffy Part 8: Blood Dancers Part 9: Blood Arena Part 10: Blood Hank Part 11: Blood Massage Part 12: Blood Pawn Shop Grimwit fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Dec 6, 2015 |

ArchWizard posted:I was surprised to see silver resistance as a stat since it's werewolves who are known for having that weakness. Then I remembered that many cultures consider silver to be a bane against supernatural baddies of all sorts. It's one of the reasons vampires don't have a reflection when they look in a mirror So much of this game reminds me of old Vampire movies I've seen as a teenager. Remember First Bite, with George Hamilton as Dracula? The hunter showed up with a gun loaded with silver bullets and shot him to prove he was a vampire. Hamilton sat there and said "You're thinking of werewolves."

As of now (about to record the 3rd vid) I'm pretty pleased with the game. Yes, it's much better than, say, Crypt Worlds, and drat ambitious for what it is. Near as I can tell, the developer was working on this since '99, but I don't know what tipped me off to that. Meanwhile, here's Episode 2, with significantly more Bunny cartoons (by which I mean more than 0). Part 2: Floating Blood Head Edit: Sometimes I can't control my hand.

Here we go. I'm starting to realize that, even tho this is cheesey as hell, this game is kind of awsome. Maybe the old school goth fashion and the blood-Prefixes are what make it so. Anyway, here's the next episode. Part 3: Bl-LASER-SPIDER!!!

ArchWizard posted:I'm pretty sure the babypin is just a safety pin. They're commonly used to secure cloth diapers, after all. Makes me wonder if there are epic level safety pins. Imagine being blinded by a safety pin bursting with a dark aura. This diaper pin has been known to lay waste cities! Such darkness!

Dreadwroth posted:Bad VA aside this actually looks pretty fun, it really does look like a mid 90s crpg/shooty game. It's giving me some Hunter vibes, if anyone remembers that game.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter:_The_Reckoning_%28video_game%29 Currently editing episode 4 and, let me tell you, this game is a hidden gem. For $12, it's so far the poor-man's Vampire Masquerade: Bloodlines with hints to a rogue-lite game play. Did I mention you can sire other vampires? Yeah, you can sire other vampires. Why isn't this a thing is other vampire games? And let us never forget...  Also, Thank you! This game brings out something from my drawing hand.

D-d-d-Double Post! I have been recording one hour at a time (two episodes) and decided to myself not to play anymore until I've edited and posted those episodes. Honestly, I want to play this game more, so here's the next episode! Part 4: Blood Wall Stuck

Doopliss posted:I genuinely can't tell if I want to buy this game or not. A lot of the menus or mechanics make it seem really (or at least vaguely) interesting, but the gameplay and dialogue makes it seem kind of not, and so little is actually happening. 1. Buy it. It's $13 bucks and it's fun as hell. Only thing I'll tell you is I've finished recording Episode 6 and found where grind can happen (Looking for silver-nitrate rounds). Looks like I may have to cut boring poo poo out for later episodes, but it's not any worse than, say, Borderlands 1. 2. Having your friends see the game titles is the very REASON you should buy this thing! Find out who your friends REALLY are!

This episode, Bunny dives into an actual random dungeon. There's thrills, spills, spiders, and really big guys who leave their boots behind. Part 6: Blood Passage Also, Nina continues to be completely awesome... if a little high.

Gideon020 posted:Also, your art is awesome. Do you have a gallery or album where I can enjoy more of it? I work at a bookstore for money, but my REAL job is a cartoon artist! Here's my DA account Here's a link to Scarlet Acres which will be my main comic when I get my act together. And, of course, Natch Evil dot Com. Glad people are enjoying the cartoon adventures of Bunny the Vampire Vampire-Hunter. Here's Bunny vs. Buffy. And here's the video representation. Part 7: Blood Buffy

JossiRossi posted:This game is pretty surprisingly cool looking. If I had more than 30 bucks in my bank account I'd be buying it... But... It cost $13 bucks? What's the other $17 for? Gideon020 posted:Maybe the silver bullets are in a different area of the restaurant you haven't been in? Funny you should mention that. I've decided to completly cut out the grind. I doubt you want to watch me dig around for level upon level, and as I need to go deeper in the Passage (there's like, 100+ levels? Maybe?) it will get more and more boring. You guys don't deserve to be bored. Also, I hang my head in shame for forgetting the name of the movie I suggest. Crucify me upon the tree of woe. That said, onwards to...

Guys! Guys, I made a terrible mistake! I made the mistake, and I can't turn back the clock! We'll just have to live with my horrible blunder! In this next episode... Part 9: Blood Arena ...I realize too late... Hank's hat isn't a fedora, like the Blues Brothers, it's a trilby. Hank is a Vampire Neck Beard! Uh... Also, some people's votes didn't get in in time. Next Fledgling will be female. Grimwit fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Oct 25, 2015 |

Now that I've picked up Forever Knight again, this game has an added layer of charm! Unfortunatly, I'm also starting to see the bigger faults in the game, mainly the huge amount I'll have to start cutting out of the footage. This 28 minute video started at 1hr 6min. That's more than half on the cutting room floor. Also, Hank. Part 10: Blood Hank

Some Holloween surprised this video, including dungeon puzzles, Massage Parlors, and Youtube counting this video as copyritten! Finally, I'm a youtuber?!Part 11: Blood Massage Welp, I'm officially too sick to drive and the smell of my van will never be the same, so I don't know when the next update will come. Maybe I'll do a sick special and share my disease with the WORLD of Youtubesz! "Hey folks, I'm Grimwit this is  "Rainbow showers of candy for EVERYONE! (that last sentence has been found to be copywriter material and cannot be monetized claimed by [Copyright Troll Inc])

Well, knowing now that it's part of the main quest does dull the luster of the puzzle a bit. You make good points and I'm too sick to counter any right now. Let me just add one of my own complaints.  I WANNA CUSTOMIZE NINA!Heck, just the option to change her name would be nice. In the beginning, there seems to be this hint that you'll be able to wear what you want and choose based not just on the Str bonus, but how cool it looks. Alas, we find that is not always so. Only the glasses and hat and weapon seems to change the character model; Since there's no minion inventory that's a double fail for Nina. (I imagine she's all ninja'ed up) Okay, I'll stop wining. The game is still good for what it is and I still plan to play more until I get sick of it. It fits my Forever Knight binge.

Holy crap, I'm alive! Seriously, bed-bound for a month, distracted by getting a job while coughing my eye out as if they were tonsils. SOOOO much vomit. ...and fallout 4... Anyway, I'm back and put my fangs back in. Sorry for the wait. Let's go places we're not aloud! Part 12: Blood Pawn Shop
