Dracula (Unreleased game)

Recommended Posts

After 40 years of wait, we've decided to tackle this project! :)

With Dracula, we're going with something different
We're building the game in a 3D environment 
To my knowledge, it's the first time this technique is ever used for a ColecoVision game.

Dracula is probably be going to be part of our Experience Club in the near future
In the meantime, here's a few works in progress screens

''Your vision is our vision''

Are you sure you're not doing Dragon's Lair here? That's the first words that came to my mind when I saw the "crypt" screenshot, if that's indeed a room inside a crypt.  :D

 

Hahaha, there's certainly a bit of inspiration taken from Dragon's Lair on the ADAM  ;)
That's the kind of graphics we would have seen if Coleco didn't abandoned the video game business 
More storage mean more detailed graphics

Astounding! About how many "rooms" will the full game have? You'll have to use some impressive graphics-compression technology to fit a lot in, especially if all the rooms are hand-drawn. No doubt it will be a 512 kb game. (I don't think a 1 MB game is possible with SGM on Colecovision?).

 

I hope wish you the best of success in completing the game.

Is this inspired by Scott Adams 'The Count'?    I remember sitting there with my friend on a vic 20 increasingly getting nervous and frantic discussing the next command.  We never knew if the next time we pressed 'enter' would end with 'the count' getting us and GAME OVER.  Fun times.

 

GET SHEETS, GET UP, N, W, GO DUMB-WAITER, RAISE DUMB-WAITER (heh)

The game should have 30 to 40 rooms
It will run on a plain vanilla Colecovision, without the use of the SuperGame Module

I was not aware of that game, looks great!

No, Dracula has never been developed by Coleco
It has been confirmed by a former Coleco employee 
The only thing that was made is the mockup/flyer (done with Pantone paper) 

Interesting.

 

I just played the prototype.

 

Is there other screens besides the bedroom?
