From the Creators of BioShock: Romancelvania: BATchelor’s Curse Goes To Kickstarter
Deep End Games has announced that Romancelvania Metroidvania: BATchelor’s Curse, which “combines classic RPG with base-building, reality TV and romance,” will be released in late 2021 on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Yesterday, the developers launched a fundraising campaign for the project, which has already raised $ 45,000.
Romancelvania: BATchelor’s Curse features battles with weapons and magic, exploration of locations with platforming elements, and a selection of lovable monsters “you can’t resist. ” The game takes place in Transylvania, where you have to build your castle.
You play as the most legendary vampire Drak. Death with a scythe made the protagonist participate in “reality show Me”. Drak’s task is to find the most suitable monsters in the world, make them move to his mansion, and restore their former glory, killing everyone in their path. Guests that you convince to live in the castle will give bonuses to characteristics and skills.
The independent Deep End Games studio is made up of people with experience developing AAA games. Here are some of them:
- creative director Bill Gardner, who was the lead designer for BioShock and BioShock Infinite, and creative director for Perception;
- Narrative director Amanda Gardner, who wrote the screenplay for Perception;
- CTO Lida Tang, who worked on BioShock as a lead programmer and was involved in the concept of Saints Row;
- Sound Engineer Jim Bonney, who contributed to the sounds of BioShock Infinite, Mafia 3, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, and John Woo Present: Strangehold.
Deep End Games’ goal is to raise $ 200,000 for the development of the game. Upon reaching $ 400,000, the studio promises to add a female version of Drak.
