2025 recap and Roadmap 2026

Happy new year everyone!

I hope this post finds you well and you have an incredible NY celebration. I won't keep you for long, but I wanted to make this post to recap the year and provide the roadmap for the next one, as well as give you a bit more transparency on the current goings on.

--------------Recapping 2025 -----------------

Oh boy, where to begin. You all know that I generally try to keep my personal life out of these posts and focus on Transylvania's development, but there are times where the two ...

World Companion & Maps: Sneak Peek

Happy holidays everyone!

I want to share with you an update on the World Companion project and gather your feedback.

As you know, the request for an official walkthrough or other documentation is a common one, which is why we've been working on a tool that will address both the need for a guide, as well as serve for future in-game assets.

In short, you can check out a prototype preview here: 2025-12-28 20:08:42 +0000 UTC View Post

End of the year update schedule

Hello guys,

2025 is drawing to a close, which means that it's time wrap up one dev cycle and lay the foundation for the next one.

Following the pattern from previous years, the entire team will take a short break for Christmas and New year to spend time with family and to recharge. To make this smooth with the update schedule, we are merging the last update of the year into one, which will drop in late December.

Here's what you can expect in December:

1. Transylvania 0.5.19 - releasing between Christmas and New Y...

The Halloween update is here!

Happy Spooky Season, everyone!

Another Transylvania update is here, along with season celebrations, rewards, and more!

First thing's first - patch 0.5.18 brings a final branch to Felicia's new romance plotline in Chapter 2, including a new location, multiple plot branches, new scenes, animated illustrations and more!

We have also started the Journal pages overhaul, bringing the first animated background featuring Ionut, done by our joining pixel artist, GodLike.

In other news, to celebrate the season of everything spo...

Transylvania 0.5.17 + brief update

Hey guys,

It is somewhat later than the end of the month, so first and foremost - apologies for the delay, and the lack of heads up. I got swiped up in another one of Life's Big Waves(tm) and am landing on my feet, yet again :/

Since I was not able to complete the full story with everything planned for Felicia's end romance (and I want to do it justice), I have decided to push out some things to keep it going, while continuing work on the longer branch.

So, this update brings you the last scene from the Intimate interaction...

Extra Content Survey

Hey guys,

With an increasing demand for an official walkthrough for the game, I have started exploring the option to create a World Companion for the game, with an interactive map showing you all points of interest, lines and steps for each task, and so on.

However, before diving head in, I would love to get your thoughts and feedback, to gauge how much demand there is for this, and how much time and resources to dedicate to it.

I am also taking the opportunity to get more feedback on digital goodies and merch. You can fin...

Transylvania 0.5.16 - Feline Sensations, pt 1 is now live!

Hey everyone,

It's time for another update - this one is part 1 of a substantial Felicia content drop, focusing on a variety of options to further enhance your relationship with her in Chapter 2.

The key for 0.5.16 is "I want to touch and to feel"

Without further ado, the patch notes:

General
-added new pixel art buttons in the "You" section;
-added new animated headers in the "You" section;
Felicia
-added a new module in Chapter 2, where after saving Felicia you can pursu...

Patch coming next week

Hey gang,

My best friend is getting married this weekend, and as the best man I got a bit tangled in last-moment preparations. As a result, I will be taking an extra week to finalize this patch, ETA is next Sunday, August 10th.

For this update we are working on a package of illustrated intimacy scenes with Felicia, with lots of choices on how to approach the cat and further develop your relationship.

See you then,

Transylvania 0.5.15: Dreams and Visions

Hey everyone,

It's the end of the month again, and it's good to be back!

This is a smaller update, as we are picking up the pace and getting back to the regular pipeline. It introduces a new Dream Sequence at the end of Chapter 2, with 6 brand new animated scenes with various delights and horrors for you and Alex to experience.

Hope you will enjoy!

The key is "I will dream of Lust and Decay"

Transylvania has rewards for you!

Happy Pride Month, everyone!

I'm finally back to writing and working on the project, and it feels good. Despite the delay, I also wanted to celebrate Pride with all of you, as well as Transylvania's 6th birthday. It's a very special time and we have some very special rewards for you.

Personal update + patch schedule (Pt2)

Hello guys,

This is a follow up to my pervious post here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/short-personal-127424166

I have some good news and some bad news to share.

The bad news is that May has been another extremely difficult, turbulent month in my life. I've had to deal with some heavy matters, travel to see family, and arrange further logistics to the changes of my living situation. As such I was not able to dedicated adequate ti...

Short personal update + patch schedule

Hello guys,

I'm not entirely sure how to best approach this post, so I will try to focus on brevity, transparency, and the things most concerning the project.

Unfortunately this month has been one of the most challenging I've had. It started with a major life event, which caused both a great degree of emotional turmoil, as well as a necessity for immediate logistical steps to re-arrange my living situation to the new state of things.

As a result of this, eating, sleeping, and keeping up with chores has been difficult for m...

Transylvania 0.5.13: Demonology is here

Hey guys,

It's time for another update! This one brings a new activity with the bruxas, along with lots of scenes, art, and general polish. The new interface is also advancing quite well, and I hope you will enjoy the animated sidebar and actions.

Without further ado, the patch notes:

*Interface*

-updated code for icon animations to properly trigger on hovering different kinds of actions;

-icon animations now trigger in the sidebar when hovering menus;

-new sidebar animations: YOU, JOURNAL, FEATS,...

No patch February because I'm sick :(

Hey guys,

A very quick message from me. I'm currently sick - don't worry nothing too serious, just a shitty flu that has me fighting not to vomit. I've been trying to wrap up the new update but it's been going pretty slow going the current situation.

I've considered pushing the patch for Sunday in the hopes of wrapping up the current scenes and pushing out what I can. But right now I feel like the scenes just aren't baked enough and I know if I push them out now, next month I'll have to move on to the next thing and so on, and I'...

Transylvania 0.5.12: A fresh coat of Black is now live!

Hello everyone,

Another month has rolled by, and it's time for another update! Following the years prior, I have established a sort of tradition for January, where we start the year by re-examining some fundamentals and taking the opportunity to make some more general and more interesting changes to the core game.

This year, we are starting with a new interface! I am happy to announce that I've been working with a new pixel artist for a while, and you will get to see the first stage of a comprehensive systems-wide overhaul of UX ...

End of the year schedule update

Hey guys,

A brief note from me. As we are looking ahead to December, me and the team will need to take a week off for family and holidays. To avoid the crunch of rolling out an update around new year's eve, we've decided to take last year's approach and roll the November + December patch into a single larger update, released shortly before or around Christmas.

Here's what we're working on for update 05.11:

-a rework of feeding the bruxas;
-more special interactions with each bruxa;
-a new devilish punishment;

Transylvania 0.5.10: The Halloween update is here!

Hey everyone,

Spooky Season is upon us, and we bring frightening delights! In this update we have finally dug into the meat and bones of the Chapter 2 remake, reworking the core "challenge" mechanic, adding new characters and events, art, animations, tasks, and more!

First, let's talk vampires. Specifically bruxas - Sabrina has 2 of them, and we have made sure to bring them as a rightful part of the journey. You will find new events and mechanics as well as art to really sink your teeth into.

Next, a note on the mechanical ...

Transylvania 0.5.09: Quality of Death + DevBlog

Hey guys,

Another month is rolling to a close and another update is here. This time we're doing some maneuvering with the production pipeline, so I'd like to begin with a few words on what we're doing and why, followed by more details for this update and the next.

Following the last patches that started the Overhaul of Chapter 2, we have now reached the meat of the matter and started the major changes involving the succubus transformation progression, as well as the dark pact, an...

Transylvania 0.5.08: Silk and Midnight, Part 2

Hey everyone,

With a bit of a delay, the new update is finally here! Continuing our rework of Chapter 2, we are bringing the second half of Felicia's ordeal with Elise, coming with more interactive illustrations and various choices to make! Another key focus is a rework of the Laboratory plotline - it is now a sanity/lust challenge with multiple options, in line with the overall themes and mechanics of Chapter 2.

There were other things we worked on that were not quite ready to push out, so we've done some chopping up - a next st...

Patch coming next weekend + a few words

Hey guys,

It's the end of the month, but our update isn't quite wrapped up yet. This month has been one with a lot of pressure in work and IRL stuff, so unfortunately my time for work has been more limited than usual.

We are currently working to finalize two new interactive scenes for the update, one being the alternative branch with Alex and Felicia during the Elise quest (you may have seen a preview in the Discord!) and the other being a complete remake of the encounter with the henchmen in the laboratory.

Another importa...
