An MMO RPG with siege sessions.
Dracula Bastion
The place he will not give up.
PLACEHOLDER — the tagline belongs to the brand chat (COORDINATION.md §1).
One recording, no promises
The September build is an offline slice: one map, one player against the AI, the whole loop from role select to results. Not a trailer cut from things that do not exist yet.
Demo — 30.09
- 62 fighters in a full siege
- 12 human slots
- 11 roles per side
Two sides, and the siege between them
A grand duke held his castle and the peace around it for centuries. Then the Inquisition took the duchess and killed her while he was becoming what he is now — and the land has been burning ever since.
Dracula
- The undead, the coil and the arc
- Everything he does, he does to bring her back
- His methods are terrible. His motive is not.
The Inquisition
- Steam, rivets, fortresses and outposts
- They zombify people with faith and burn the rest
- Their intent is not evil. Their means are.
Why this one
One role in one combat pair of six — the other five are bots, and the sixth human slot is the strategist. Progress is clearance, not levels.
| Usually | Here |
|---|---|
| The boss is a script you learn by heart. | Dracula is played by a person. He is announced, and half an hour later he picks the targets himself. |
| The strongest gear is on sale. | Artefacts, armour and upgrades are earned by playing. Strength is not for sale. |
| An empty server is an empty game. | Bots fill every unclaimed slot, so a siege is a siege at six players or at twelve. |
DRAFT — story per COORDINATION.md §17 and §29; the lore canon (§3) is still open.
Three stages, each one whole
No dates here on purpose. A date is a promise; the honest thing to publish is the order.
-
Offline slice
1 player against the AI
Menu › role › Preparation › Defense › Results › garrison. One Bastion map with field, wall and courtyard. This is what 30 September shows.
-
Sessions with people
12 humans in one siege
The same loop with other players in it. Dedicated servers, matchmaking, anti-cheat — none of which exists in the slice.
-
Persistent world
1000+ in the world
Open map, seasons, Dracula's world events, the ashen lands, and a manor of your own to defend.
The bot-fill is what turns this into a chain instead of one impossible project: the slice is a finished game before a single server exists.
Not yet — and that is deliberate
September is a recording of the offline slice, not a build you install. An installer with nothing behind it costs more trust than it buys.
There is no public build to download. When stage one has one, it appears here — and the list hears about it first.
COORDINATION.md §6: the September demo format is footage on the site — no web build, no downloadable build.
Press, contact and working together
Logo, wordmark, screenshots, key art and a fact sheet in one archive — and a line open for partners and investors.
The archive is assembled once the brand and the footage are final.
Partners and investors
Publishing, funding, engine or art collaboration: write once, with what you do and what you are looking for. Every letter gets a person's answer.
The partner address opens together with the September recording.
The subscription form opens as soon as the list is live.
