Here is an open poll so we know if we should prepare builds for any specific platforms other than Windows. While Mac and Linux can be done fairly easily, Android is another story. We would have to prepare an interface that works well with phones, so it would take time, but if there is some interest, we could do it. We appreciate your feedback!

In the next update, we will add a protagonist portrait to the game. You will be able to see Alex's expressions, which we hope will make it easier for the player to connect to him.
However, if you prefer not to see the protagonist's face, you can turn portraits off.

We also added quick saving and loading. However, there is still a bug that sometimes causes characters to load with an incorrect sprite variant.
The final Demo preview is planned for Sunday.

2023-06-06 22:26:33 +0000 UTC View PostHello Everyone,
Here is promised demo preview. It includes the first 20 minutes of the prologue. We plan to release a longer demo on Sunday, so if you want to play through the prologue in one go, you might want to wait until then.
Please remember that nothing you see here is final (art, sound etc.), and we had to disable parts of the UI in this preview as we discovered a game-breaking bug shortly before the release. Therefore if you want to quit the game, you will have to press Alt+F4, and you can't save right now. We...

Here is the old animation of Amy with voice acting and SFX. It's being reworked by our new animator because we weren't satisfied with the results.
2023-06-01 22:13:42 +0000 UTC View PostHello Everyone,
We're sorry, but we will have to move the demo release to Friday. We found out we're missing some voice lines, and VA won't be able to deliver them until Wednesday. It's an important scene that feels off with one character mute, so we made this tough decision. I hope you understand.

Caught ya staring!
It's a scene from the first date with Violet. The naked variant is an exclusive treat for our patrons - it won't be featured in the game!
Here is the animation of Sarah servicing Virgil to prove her loyalty. The audio mixing still needs adjusting, but overall it's almost done.

Welcome to our very first dev blog post, where we'll offer you a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Bloodcrave!
Let's begin by exploring the game's central location: the city of Newport. Bloodcrave's action unfolds in the enigmatic city of Newport. We did our best to ensure this location isn't merely a superficial backdrop—Newport boasts a rich history, unique architecture, and fictional brands to bring the city to life.
Don't worry, though; we won't bombard you with massive lore dumps. Instea...

April is an energetic and mischievous gal who happens to be Alex's neighbor.

Let's discuss the dating system in Bloodcrave, a critical aspect that determines your relationship with the six main love interests. Each character will have affection towards Alex, influenced by his actions and how he treats them. You can increase affection by giving them gifts or going on dates. However, it decreases when you act in a way they don't like. It's worth noting that each romanceable character has a unique personality, meaning some may enjoy it when Alex acts boldly, while others prefer when he's not too pushy.
Dates are a...

Meet the antagonist of the story and his team. Virgil always punches above his weight, so he needs a versatile team of vampires, humans, and other beings to help him achieve his goals. He is a master of manipulation and intrigue, and he doesn't have many powerful fighters in his ranks. Instead, he relies on a team of cunning spies and assassins who are experts in sabotage, deception, and infiltration. So far, this approach has paid off very well, but keeping such a group of subordinates in check requires extraordinary methods.

Let's talk about sexual content and the kinks you might find in Bloodcrave. Three main themes in the game are romance, corruption and sex under necessity. Let's start with the last one, which invites the most questions.
Sex under necessity - means that characters engage in sexual activity to gain benefits other than pleasure, such as power. In Bloodcrave, the main protagonist, Alex, has unique hormones in his blood that give strength to vampires that drink his blood. This effect is amplified if they drink it when he is...

It's a WIP of video of the first sex scene in the game. The enthrallment of Amy by Virgil. It still needs some polishing, voice acting and sound effect, but you can see all stages of the animation that will be included in the scene.

While it's the first sex scene with Chloe, there will be many kinky scenes with her before that. It was one of the first scenes we created to help us find the right art style. Our BG artist still has to draw the background, and it will be slightly reworked to match the current art style. It has five variants.
The scene happens around the end of act 1, so it won't be available in the prologue.
