RE:P Dev Log
Hello all!
A quick little update this week to lay out where we are with RE:P’s development and upcoming alpha.
- Writing: Polishing Intro/First Night script, working on Night 2, outlining future chapters
- 2D Art: 2/2 NPC portraits complete for Alpha, MC customized portrait complete, working on intro CGs
- 3D Art: Rounding up models for both placeholders and potential future full-game use
- Programming: RPG basic framework complete (movement, object/NPC interaction, dialogue), implementing MC customization
Alpha Progress: Roughly on target for a late December/early January Patreon release
RE:P’s alpha will be around an hour long, and showcases the intro/MC’s first night as a vampire. While only a few skills/traits will be implemented, there’ll still be a good taste of the variations and roleplaying you can expect in the full game.
What’s Next?
Next week, we’ll be revealing another NPC! Like Sal, they’re a major character, and will also show up in the alpha.
We’ll also be talking more about traits and skills soon, particularly the ones that’ll feature in the alpha! If you’re curious about what roleplaying attributes you’ll have at your disposal, keep an eye out!
There may also be a little overview of Las Vegas’ vampire underworld written by a certain new NPC, so if you’re curious about the Fourth House, the psychoplague, and the political games, stay tuned…

Questions or Comments?
Feel free to send in questions about RE:P and any AG/GAG games (or dev-related questions)! Our Ask Box is always open.
Q: One of the best things about the previous RE entries are the soundtracks; do you have an idea of how you would want REP to sound and can we please please have a hint?
A: Thanks for the question! We suspect there will be a dark trip-hop influence in RE:P’s soundtrack, as well as some guitar-driven and eerie ambient tracks. However, given some of the in-game action…there may be some dark electronica/dance and (hopefully) a splash of metal, if things work out!
