Dhampir Super Sneak Preview - Alpha Build
A side project of mine that is vastly different than Vamprotector. This will be a original game made by me. All the sprites, artwork, and assets will be hand-drawn by me. Dhampir is a tribute to one of my favorite movies that got me into Anime, Vampire Hunter D. In Dhampir, you will play in the role of D the Hunter. You will be able to accept bounty's and eventually a final confrontation between D and Count Magnus Lee. You will be able to switch between "Sword Mode" and "Hand Mode." The gameplay will resemble the gameplay from Simon's Quest. I probably will do a small 1 stage demo first and then run with it after Vamprotector is done. If anyone wants to input ideas or feedback I am open to all ideas.

Right now, I kinda figured out how I want Sword Mode to work. Basically there will be some sort of power-up for you to collect to make your sword more powerful. The gameplay for D will be like Ninja Gaiden. For the Hand Mode, there will be different attacks like a projectile, and of course the wind suck from the anime.

I am open to color artists and such to work on the project with me. This will be based on the original Vampire Hunter D anime, not Bloodlust. (I don't have the time to replicate the art style from that movie.)

Ahh the good old Vampire Hunter D. One of the best movies I have ever seen ... both the old movie and Bloodlust. Good to see a fan making a game in the name of the movies

Thanks man! This project gives me a little bit more freedom with game design and I get to do a little voice acting as well!

Dark....! Dark...! DrakManX, HOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I like your idea, we will be able to stick on walls like in Ninja Gaiden too? Maybe using this Wind Suck thing to stick her hands to a wall?

I didn't even think about that?! lol Maybe not, because you don't see D really scaling walls in the Anime. That is a very interesting idea though, I'll make a note...

I've never watched it, but thanks for thinking about that xD

Worth the watch, considering it has been said that the part of the idea of Castlevania was born from this anime.

looks great Darkmanx! Keep it going, love Vampire Hunter D, almost as much as Alucard himself..

Thanks man, once the coloring gets in there and I hammer out the subtle details in the animation I think it will look pretty good.

One tag team comprising Alucard and D... that would be awesome. I'm intrigued about how this will end. The playstation game was not a bad game.

I haven't even thought so far yet, right now I like the idea of being able to deny or accept bounties, it reminds of that ps3 game Hitman. It also allows me not to have to be exact to the Anime and gives me more freedom.
