Vampiro.Life — Build in Public: Entry One

Hey folks 👋

This is the first update in the journey of building Vampiro.Life, a passion project I’m developing on weekends and late nights while working full-time in Supabase Support. It’s a slow grind — no investors, no VC pressure — just me, a keyboard, and way too many dark, brooding ideas. 🦇

Why Vampiro.Life?

If you’ve ever wanted an AI Dungeon Master that can truly handle the more complex, adult-oriented narrative styles — think betrayal, murder, manipulation, and yeah, even sex — you’re not alone. Most AI storytelling tools still feel like they’re stuck in PG-13 land, and while that works for many, I’ve always craved something deeper and messier.

Vampiro.Life aims to bring that experience to life, especially for fans of Vampire: The Masquerade, where the lines between monster and human are always blurred.

What’s Been Done So Far

• 🧮 Pricing Schema
  Right now, pricing is primarily based on GPU costs (gotta keep the AI blood flowing, right?). It’s not perfect and I’m super open to feedback — especially from folks who want to use this often but find the pricing a barrier.

• 🌍 World Building
  The world-building engine is alive — buggy, but breathing. You can already set up your own dark cities and story settings, and it’s just about enough to run a solid Vampire: The Masquerade session with the AI as your DM.

• 🧛 LLM-Agent Interaction
  This is the big one: the AI DM now understands how to be a vampire. Your character can now bite and harm humans — which sounds wild, but is crucial to delivering a believable vampire experience. This was a huge step for making the agent behave less like Clippy and more like the Prince of the City.

Roadmap Ahead

Here’s what’s next on the coffin-shaped whiteboard:

🚨 P1 — MVP Essentials

• Disciplines Action Button: This lets players actually use their vampire powers in-session. Mandatory for a working MVP.
• Skill Check Action Button: This brings in proper dice mechanics for actions — using Vampire: The Masquerade’s classic system for a more immersive feel.

⚔️ P3 — Next Layer of Gameplay

• Quests: Players can accept and progress through quests created by the DM.
• XP & Leveling Up: Actions will start to matter, and characters can grow (or fall).
• Battles: Combat mechanics beyond just narration.

🌐 P4 — World Building Revamp

• More intuitive region editing
• Better navigation to keep large cities and stories manageable

🎨 P5 — Map & Visuals

• Improve the background image
• Possibly swap out the map engine for something more flexible and visually engaging

---

That’s it for now. This is still early days, and I’ll be building slowly but steadily. If you’re into narrative-heavy RPGs, love the World of Darkness setting, or just want to follow the chaos of an indie project trying to do something weird and wonderful — welcome aboard.

Let me know what you’d want to see in Vampiro.Life, or just say hi. I’m always down to chat vampires.
