goated game B)
Hey Madmate Games, when will the next update be? It's been a while since june😭
It has been a while :( New update soon.
when the public one?
guess it's time to do another playthrough. Missed the writing and of course I missed the beautiful Zoey
Hello Madmate.games, I would like to know when you plan to complete this game, unless of course you have stopped developing it
As soon as possible hopefully :D
There's quite a lot to go through still, and work is progressing somewhat slower than what I'd like, but I'm still working on it!
I see I hope to play the final version of this game soon. Madmate.games I want to ask you if you could add more abilities for the main character and more options for choosing the actions of the main character So that the player can choose which girl to build a relationship with and which one not to I will be grateful if you listen to me
Please don't abandon this VN.
is this abandoned already?????
Nope.
I wish u gl and pls never stop this visual novel
There are very few vampire stories that are truly worth it. I really hope your game gets the visibility it deserves! Keep up the good work.
How to export/import saves?
Saves are located on the partition where you installed your system, in the folder that's probably called something like this: C:\Users\%Your PC Name%\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\TheBite.
You can copy/paste them from there to wherever else you have installed the game (I'm assuming you want to transfer saves to another PC).
I loved !!! Plz, consider put on steam as well, i would gladly add to my wishlist and buy it when it officially launches
Ps: i'm sorry if i misspelled something, i'm from Brazil and it's not often that i can practice my English
Thank you for your kind words! I will think about eventually adding it to steam when the game is in a a bit more polished state.
And no worries about your English, it's perfectly understandable! :)
is this game one girl kinda story or an harem?
This game COULD have been a riot, but in the end, it's just another "You are a college freshman" game.
It's true that you aren't in college, and certainly not a freshman, but those are incidental points that are irrelevant.
What IS relevant is that, once again, you spend your time just standing around waiting for the next random chick to tell you what to do, where to go, how to act, what to say, and blah, blah, blah.
And, as for being a vampire, big f*ck*ng deal!!! I have yet to feed on more than one person, and that only happened because she told me to. When it comes to my extraordinary powers, they are just turning out to be scripted McGuffins that bail the writer out of a mess that they can't figure out otherwise.
I did drink from Zoey as well, but it was a story point, and by the time we got that far, I disliked her enough that I would have rather caved in her skull with a rock than spend another second with her.
I simply don't care that she was abused by someone sometime someplace. She has already demonstrated that she would knowingly sacrifice my character as long as she remains safe.
And all I could think was: If I'm the vampire in this situation, I would steal a car, drive 1500 miles away, and leave that entire bullsh*t political quagmire behind.
But, NO, my character is a simp, and unable to think or act even remotely for his own wellbeing; so he must stick close to the women that keep him on a leash.
So blah, blah, blah he will get used and abused by the women around him; blah, blah, blah he will face dangerous and deadly traps; blah, blah, blah there will ALWAYS be a McGuffin to get him out of trouble; blah, blah, blah he will have some sex scenes when the random women deign to allow him, blah, blah, blah and it will all work out in the end.
All because giving a man even the slightest amount of backbone is far to "toxic" for the 21st century. Even if that man IS a fictional cartoon character.
I'm not nearly bored, stoned, drunk, or stupid enough to waste my time with those types of stories.
You truly are pathetic ... You come around in almost every single game you play you find pathetic reasons to hate on the games and stir shit in comments just get a life man Zoey is perfect the way she is i knew you were bullshitting as soon as i saw your stupid comments on her character as to being controlled by women.... you will be able to choose who you work for and you cant fucking run because there is protocol in this vampire world you might not understand or might not want to understand And where did you get this college freshman bullshit you thought you did something with it but trust me when i tell you this you did absolutely nothing the term is just as stupid as you are and dont tell me your not boned stoned drunk or stupid enough to waste your time with this game or any other you talked about you clearly have all the time in the world to dedicate this effort on making your comments.... which clearly took alot from your pathetic brain.
That was a fun experience ! and I am glad I tried it out.
The writing was good and captivating and the motion and emotion you managed to instill in the ragdolls was surprisingly good. It took me a while to get over the Uncanny Valley but I managed (sorry yeah, 3D is hard i know).
If I may suggest to improve your landing page here. You have a good product but your page isn't able to capture that. I don't know how but I would make another pass and look at other pages and try to polish it more.
I'll continue following for now, Good Luck <3
Thanks for the advice and kind words! Glad that you liked it!
Yes, please fix the error with the name in the new version, otherwise I can't change it. I'm playing from my phone
Hi tell me can you make it so that at the very beginning we could choose both options or all 3 and you can also add a fashion cheat and the last question tell me when he is at home with Emilia, you can also control her there or put her to sleep as he did with her in the car
There are some cheat mods already out in the open that might help you out.
As for the error you get on your phone, I'm not officially supporting phone version, but if you send me the log I'll look into it.
Hi, I have to take a picture exactly where the error occurs?
I don't know how to do it to be honest. I've never played any games on a phone :(
Damn, this is bad, it's a pity that you only do it for the computer
nice update also glitch found cant Aquire Traits
Yep. This one has been mentioned a couple of times. Still investigating the issue, but it should be patched for the next game version. Thanks for the report!
Loving the game so far! is there any way to increase your attributes? i keep failing almost all the checks.
Sorry for not replying earlier, I didn't realize these notifications had to be clicked in a certain way to get to the post in question. Whenever I clicked on the notification that there's a new post it just brought me back to the front page. :D
Anyway, I've seen a couple of cheat modes here and there, but I don't provide support for them. Which checks give you the most issues?
no problem at all!
my agility, prowess and survival are at all 0 still. the rest seem to be growing very very slowly.
Can't acquire Reflexes or Pummel, i have 5 powers, i unlocked it in the storyline, still can't buy it. Well given that neither work i'm going to guess they are not yet implemented. Just in case here's the error code regarding Reflexes.
[code]
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Thanks for the call out and posting the log as well!
Yeah, the traits rework was planned for either this release or to be patched in sometime in January. But good thing you found it, I completely forgot that that module also interacts with the base game. Will patch it up so it doesn't interfere with the gameplay.
Love your work. The game gives me Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines vibes - one of my favorite games ever.
Hi. Is pregnancy an option? If not, would you consider?
Vampires are undead. I can't see them creating life.
Don't get me wrong, it's one of my kinks, but it doesn't fit the theme imo. Just my honnest opinion as a player though.
Game states there have been cases where vampires have had children with humans, so it may be possible with human love intersts though I doubt it will ever occur in this game.
True, and i guess the MC is a prime exemple of that actually. That slipped my mind. And him being The Chose One makes it possible he would be compatible with a lot of characters on that regard. Happy new year folks.
Oh man, sorry for not figuring out this earlier but I didn't realize these notifications had to be clicked in a certain way to get to the post in question. Whenever I clicked on the notification that there's a new post it just brought me back to the front page. :D
Anyway, I make it a practice not to reveal which kinks I plan on before they are in the game as I feel they are a bit spoiler-y, but I can confirm the vampires in this game are not undead.
I am rly excited for the next update take it easy pls never rush
Hey! That's actually a good call! Unfortunately, itch.io has a maximum requirement of 10 tags in total, which I've already reached :(
is this a proper relationship VN with consequences for cheating or is it a wish fufillment fantasy VN with multiple women for MC
Привет скажи можно эмилию снова взять на контроль если да скажи что для этого нужно
Хорошо спасибо жаль вы телкфонными версиями не занимаетесь ок спасибо
прежних версиях выходила ошибка когда пытались изменит
Привет можно спросить в новои версии имя гг
Можно изменит ато в прежних версиях мы не могли изменит имя выходила ошибка я играю на телефоне
If translation works, you are asking about changing of the player's name on phone versions of the game?
If so, I don't offer support for the phone versions of the game, only PC/MAC. For phone support you'll have to talk to whomever ported the game to Android.
I don´t know if its a bug or meant like tht but I can´t meet ciara and neither go to the estate where eliot is after I got the mail a 2nd time and do u got a disc server?
Not a bug. I forgot to include "end of content" message at the end of two implemented quests ("Psychology 101" and "School's in"). The three other quests are not yet implemented.
EDIT: forgot to reply, yes I do have a discord: https://discord.com/invite/vtr2QXG
alr thx for info
love the update but theres a problem with the missions they skip each other and lock out the other ones like you skip having coffee and get to know claire and go straight to metting her then you going home with her then you go meet her for coffee to meet her
That sounds like a bug. Do you mean you get the "Psychology 101" twice in a row? Like the mission repeats itself?
Let me double check some things and ill get back to you
Mission that are Done (Papers please, True Rulers) there in the finished quest section. Meeting the boss, I've never got taken or seen the CoreTech building. Lessons in Spirituality It won't let me go see Shevaun says she is sleeping. Testing the waters also won't work because it says Zoey isn't home, but it says I need to talk to her to before I go there. Getting away with murder isn't complete either do to the fact I can't do other missions or glitch. Then you were right I meet Claire 2 Times which is the scene where you can Comfort her or ignore it. Also, sorry for the long text i very much like the game went over it a few times now to check out stuff.
Sounds like something went horribly wrong with your game.
The quests Meeting the Boss, Lessons in Spirituality and Testing the waters aren't implemented yet, so that's why they don't work, but everything else should clear out without an issue.
Are you using any mods, game edits or translations? Could you send me your save game file?
No mods also i might have fixed it i changed routes (also redownloading it) a lot so what i did was go see Shevaun first then zoey then mansion the club then doc then coffee shop and it fixed it so i think talking to zoef first started the bug also idk how to send the save. Also do you have a community that makes mods for the games. Also since i finishies it was able to see more so all good
is this still gonna get an update?
I hope so, it has the making of one of the best AVNs I've ever seen
A perfect game for people with the VtM nostalgia. It will be very interesting to see the end result. Considering the trait window - it's a very ambitious project (by the way, something is wrong with the trait window - it's very laggy, needs some optimization).
VtM??
"Vampire: The Masquerade"
Without a doubt, one of the best VN games I've ever played. The worldbuilding, characters, mystery, and drama are ON POINT. Can't wait for more
Nice Game Also when is update is it gonna happen in every 3 months or are you still figuring out what you wanna do with it?
when next update
Hey, just finished this version, pretty good and intriguing story !
any femdom in this game and character name, please?
or dominating personality female character name
this game is very good its story is also very interesting
I would love an android version of this if possible 😀
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
omg i love this game. you have done a great job.
