Hello, Kindred of the hour, and Happy Halloween tonight.
Tonight I want to talk about some of our game's characters, as well as some information on what to expect for the demo.
Our game's demo will contain the entirety of Chapter One of our game's storyline, this will include the main story, and multiple side quests. As of right now, the main story scenario is done, as well as the story scenarios of most side quests. There are still things to edit, like certain choices and specific dialogue. As the writer, my main focus is currently to zero in on clan variations. (Malkavian and Nosferatu of course, are in need of the most attention to matters like this) While I can't wait to share the story, I will not reveal anything here, many things shall be revealed when you play it for yourself.
Instead, I'd love to get into discussing and explaining characters that will appear in the game. Keep in mind, while there are several portraits that have been beautifully handcrafted by our portrait artist, there is (in the first chapter alone!) around twenty characters so far. If you want to help us with character portraits, please consider helping us out on our ko-fi! I do intend to get as many characters as possible to have their artwork done.
Without further ado, lets get into the characters:
Lucy - A local woman. Lucy has lived all over America but settled down in Milwaukee to live her golden years out. Lucy currently runs a soup kitchen called "Lucy's Place" in the northside of Milwaukee, where she puts her heart and soul into keeping afloat. Her kids have grown to adulthood, and so she spends most of her time running the kitchen. While most Kindred do not pay her any mind, she is a boon of information and a wealth of knowledge for people and places all over Milwaukee, and can help the player find information, as well as just find someone to talk to. Lucy is a no-nonsense type of woman, and isn't looking to have her heartstrings played with. If you can show her a calm and mature side, maybe her tune will change. Or perhaps you can show her your monstrous nature, and remind her that while not all vagrants are dangerous, some certainly are.

There are MANY more characters to find and meet in Orphans of Caine, but we will save them for a future devlog updates and for more reveals. Thank you so much to the overwhelming support people have given us in both comments, follows, and affection. We're so excited to share our story with everyone, and to explore what our game has to offer. When we next meet, I will be talking about information involving mechanics, UI, and gameplay.
Until next time, and have a spooky Halloween. 🎃
