When I first heard the pitch for this game, I assumed it would be a joke and we would move on to a more "serious" idea. But soon enough, I found myself working on a game about trying to kiss as many vampires as possible. Oddly enough, I think Down for the Count! is the most fun game I have worked on to-date. Designing the map over four days was a fairly uncomfortable process for me, being my first real time working in Godot. But with our programmer's good movement work and lots testing, I believe the map design is almost kinda fun! After the project was finished, seeing people speedrun the game was really rewarding, and I think this experience taught me a lot about making fun worlds.

If you're interested in a silly 3d platformer dating-sim fusion game, I hope you will try our game. Even if you don't like how that sounds, I hope you try our game. Who knows, you might be the next dashing hottie to kiss all the vampires before the ball drops.
