Hi! Do you have a YouTube channel where you post about your game? I could have sworn I scrolled past a video about a vampire farm game on my recommended, it disappeared because I accidentally refreshed my feed😅

Hello to you as well! I do not - I started working on this in earnest only a couple weeks ago, and I don't really feel like I have enough to actually start sharing things. I'm only really posting it here because, as my art blog, this is as much a log I keep of things I make as it is a way for me to share things.

You might, however, have encountered a video on Moonlight Peaks, which has a very similar you're-a-vampire-and-you-farm premise, but which is much further along in development and, presumably, not made by a single lesbian who can't program. I only learned of it's existence myself just today, but it looks neat.

Hey, maybe the croissant can be a kipfel. They'd look pretty much the same at this scale.

Some 16x16 item sprites I've been doing for a weekly challenge in a pixel art server I'm in. Maybe I can use them for vampire farm, though technically croissants would be anachronistic for a game set in a ~14th-15th century analogue. That said, the vampire's outfit is anachronistic too, so maybe that's fine.

Running water seems like an issue for vampire farmer.

Also there’s a pun somewhere about you being a necromancer because you’re animating the dead.

lmao i suppose i am at that! and yeah, it absolutely is - I'm considering having streams and rivers be natural barriers blocking the way to areas you have to unlock.

i love your vampire farm! the art and idea are like. astoundingly good! can i ask what size canvas you use for the sprites and portraits?

Thank you! You sure can, though I'm not sure you'll be impressed with my answer: I only got into pixel art properly about a month ago, and all the art I've done so far is really just like, visdev for this project. I don't have set scales for everything yet, I should probably figure that out. Looking at my working file, the living saint portrait - that's the armoured woman - is... 392 by 337 pixels, so I suppose I should use something like a 400 x 350 maximum for the portraits. It not being a multiple of 128 bothers me as a trained 3d artist but :shrug:. The character sprites seem to be about 80 pixels high. Again, I should probably establish a standard before I start making real assets, huh?

#does 'vampire farm' mean that the vampire is farming the local population for blood#or is it an actual wheat-and-cows farmer who just happens to serve cunt while doing so A mixture of both, I suppose? The general premise is thus: You're an ancient, millennia-old vampire, and you're bored. You've done everything, experienced it all, and it's gotten old. As you wander your dark castle aimlessly, a letter tumbled out of the dessicated pockets of one of your past meals. The letter, addressed from your meal's grandparents, contains the deed to a farm just outside the town nearby your castle. You've never been a farmer before, how hard could it be?

various things ive been trying and making for a videogame passion project. It's been over a decade since I last made pixel art... probably more like a decade and a half, honestly - I used to do edits back in my fire emblem fandom days. It's been interesting to (re)learn.

Nothing I've made has ever gotten more than a handful of notes before; I'm not used to this much attention. Hi? Glad you all like her, I guess.
