An MMO RPG with siege sessions.
Drakula 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, neither of them good
A grand duke held his castle and the peace around it for centuries. Then the Inquisition came, took the duchess, and killed her while he was becoming what he is now. The land went to ash — and the light is taking it back, fortress by outpost.
Drakula
- 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.
DRAFT — story per COORDINATION.md §17 and §29; the lore canon (§3) is still open.
What you play, and why this one
You grow from a peasant with a pitchfork into a strategist who commands the defence of a fortress from above.
-
A pair, not a class
Five combat pairs per side, six fighters in each. You take one role in one pair; the other five in it are bots. The sixth human slot is the strategist.
-
62 fighters, 12 of them people
Thirty-one per side: ten combat roles plus the strategist. Any empty slot becomes a bot, so the same siege runs with six people or with twelve.
-
Clearance, not levels
The fortress opens once you have finished one role in each of two different field pairs. Two roles from the same pair do not count.
| Usually | Here |
|---|---|
| The boss is a script you learn by heart. | Drakula 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. |
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, Drakula'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.
Press and contact
Logo, wordmark, screenshots, key art and a fact sheet in one archive.
The archive is assembled once the brand and the footage are final.
The subscription form opens as soon as the list is live.
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.
