(Las siguientes animaciones de correr/andar/saltar NO SON finales. Lo que estás viendo en este video es meramente para finalidades funcionales en el testeo. El resultado final será 1000 veces más realista, inclinándose hacia un sistema de parkour de saltos y running)
El equipo se ha inspirado en juegos como EVE Online, Secret World, Assasin's Creed, Batman Arkham series y muchos otros. Hemos incorporado elementos de interacciones sociales avanzadas entre jugadores y NPCs, libre de ataduras de movimiento entorno a vastas ciudades, y también hemos intentado preservar y recrear ese estilo gótico/punk del universo.
El mundo de los no muertos llega con buenas longitudes para esconderse de los ojos de los mortales. Esta sociedad inmortal ha existido durante siglos pero está en la naturaleza vampira resistirse relacionarse a si mismos con ningún tipo de organización o concepto ideológico. A medida que el tiempo ha pasado, solo cuatro grandes organizaciones han emergido. Los Kindred prefieren llamarse los Sabbaths, en memoria de la Inquisición que identificó erróneamente las reuniones de vampiros con cónclaves de brujas.
Domini es la alta sociedad de los vampiros, interactuando cercanamente con las civilizaciones mortales y tomando interés en la educación y las artes. Fuera de todos los Sabbaths, Domini son los más cercanos al mundo de los mortales: disfrutando los frutos de la civilización moderna, los Domini viven verdaderamente en el regazo del lujo incluso tras la muerte.
Los Hort Packs siguen las reglas primitivas de la supervivencia y la selección natural, preservada desde tiempos ancestrales. Esta vieja existencia significa que no hay necesidad de ningún tipo de jerarquía, los no muertos de Hort pueden recorrer el mundo solos o bandolear juntos en pequeñas familias con lideres nominales o ermitaños. Como buitres de ciudad hambrientos, ellos vagabundean por los suburbios y bajos, buscando presas alejadas de su rebaño, cazando incluso gente enferma o intoxicada por alimentos (Los Hort no son nada quisquillosos con la comida). Mientras tanto, los laberintos de los callejones de la ciudad esconden sus guaridas, en silencio dando testimonio de los rituales primordiales de los Hort Packs.
La Teocracia Ortodoxa es una organización religiosa conservadora, una sociedad-iglesia soberana liderada por Holy Crown. Esta Ortodoxia nomuerta cree en su lazo de parentesco con el creador, ante lo cual no ayuda las ofensas de sangre. Ellos construyeron una sociedad donde los mortales son corderitos de sacrificio, y sus inmortales pastores rinden su correcto lugar acordemente al designio del creador. La Teocracia presenta una posibilidad de una reconciliación natural con tu depredador natural no solo para todo aquel que se introduce en sus rangos, sino también para los creyentes de otras sociedades también. Como tal, se ve como un camino recto por muchos vampiros, ya que no sólo justifica el proceso de la caza ( y la actitud de los vampiros a los mortales como vasos de alimentación ), sino que también lo santifica. Según el creador, su propósito es alimentarle a Él y a todos Sus virtuosos hijos.
La CRUOR Corp es una corporación global, establecida durante los tiempos de la revolución industrial, conocida por los mortales como un exclusivo propietario monopolístico de un gran número de compañias de aplicaciones domésticas, alimenticias y productos farmaceuticos para el consumo en masa. Entre los no muertos, CRUOR es conocida como una sociedad de inmortales quienes escarbaron en los secretos de la sangre, y su influencia y efectos en los objetos tanto vivos como inanimados. Practicando "Theurgy", magia ritual, los vampiros lentamente cambian a los consumidores y unos pocos inmortales pueden predecir las consecuencias de esos experimentos.
Controlling the character is done by combining the targeting system and mouse-look – you can either use mouse and keyboard, or a gamepad, like in many 3rd person action-adventure games. These controls let you freely move around the city and climb the rooftops, implementing a parkour-based movement system. You can control the camera with a mouse or gamepad analog stick.
Combat is done in action mode – by aiming with the mouse/gamepad, you can use hand-to-hand attacks, firearms or special powers. You can also switch to the aiming mode, either to increase the effectiveness of firearms, or to lock onto target for hand-to-hand combat. The character always maintains their freedom of movement.
Vampires are supernatural creatures, but their bodies are not. Abilities grant massive physical and spiritual power, allowing you to change your body or affect the items around you, but they don’t make the Kindred all-powerful. Vampires aren't capable of true magic, their abilities are just brute force. Sharp fangs and teeth, the might of 10 people, mind control or ritual witchcraft – this is the extent of the most common vampiric powers.
Our main task was to create a flexible system of creating and combining various skills while their effects can be positive, negative, or mixed. For example, nobody will stop you from getting an ability that is both offensive (by inflicting damage) and influencing the enemy (or your character) by applying various effects. This type of combination will allow the character to create a large variety of combat skills, accompanied by diverse visualizations.
In the future, we will expand the list of possible Abilities and implement special skills that have their own unique effects and aren’t tied to the main combination chart (or have only partial connection).
In this game, you can permanently lose your character. In order to track your character’s well-being/sanity, we have created an indicator that changes every time the character commits these deeds.
But don't worry. This is only a last resort and I doubt most of you will experience death for yourself. Eternity is waiting for you.
The city nightlife is centered on numerous night Establishments. These places are the most important part of the gameplay; they are centers of the nominal city districts they influence. As a player, owning an establishment will increase your influence and the range of your territory. When visiting establishments, vampires can access the Black Market, make business deals and interact with mortals.
The game is based on the principle of free trade; any item can be put on sale on the Black Market. Just visit an Establishment, register the trade offer (indicate the price and the length of the auction) and pay the tax set by the owner of the Establishment.
Potential buyers, interested in your item, will pay the necessary sum and will be able to pick up the item from the chosen location. Market interfaces are available in every Establishment and will show offers from all around the city; however, you will have to pick up the item yourself.
Things can be created with mortals. By using their skills, your mortal servants can gain the trust of certain representatives of large companies or corporations. After establishing these connections, you can manufacture your own goods through their companies.
By having necessary materials and components, you can order the manufacturing without raising any suspicion. However, while you will be manufacturing large quantities of goods, you will not be able to lay your hands on all of them, as this might draw unnecessary attention. This is why the items produced for your own needs or the Black Market will be sent one piece at a time or in small installments.
Finally… we understand how hard it is to spend a lot of time in the game and it’s even more difficult for those who don’t have that much free time to begin with. We will try to solve this problem by developing online/mobile services and API so that the players can get access to a limited number of game features, even if you don’t have a game client nearby. Mobile apps and web-resources on smartphones, tablets and browsers will allow you to make deals, control your mortals and exchange emails and messages.
Our soundtrack is the part of our game that we particularly like and therefore pay a lot of attention to. We've communicated with many musicians and composers to create a unique soundtrack for our game. Among them are famous Russian composer and sound designer Misha Dioxin, and musical projects such as Chiasm, Project Hypoxia and Darkmind Project.
We have spent more than a year developing the project in our free time and in the last couple of months, we have received a lot of positive feedback about our work, both from our Russian fans and from abroad. Now we’re finally ready to realize our dream.
The team has almost finished working on a prototype. Movements, interactions with objects and opponents, mechanics of various locations and the ability to travel between them, and so on. We are still working on various other models and lore. Now we hope to turn this into a full-fledged game.
However, we are an independent company and would like to keep it that way. We don’t receive any sort of external financial support and the costs to create new content and improvement to existing work will keep increasing. The team needs expensive equipment, software, a lot of effort from the artists, designers, programmers, and a lot of time as well. We need to create new animations, better textures and effects, tweak the game balance, and put in new content along with other exciting game possibilities. Out of all of this the team could only do it with the help of the community.
With your help, we can finally make Dogma our number one priority and put all our time and effort into it. Collected funds will be put into necessary tools for our team and we will be able to take up development on a scale of a full-time job, or even longer, if that’s necessary.
After the Kickstarter is finished and we're done with all the preparations, all of our efforts will be put into developing the final version of Dogma: Eternal Night (assuming the campaign is successful). Collected funds will be used for the following:
TEAM SUPPORT - allowing us to finally focus on the project full-time or longer.
SERVERS - Purchase of powerful server components and their placement in the best data-centers we can get. This will ensure stable connection, quickly connecting thousands of players to the game.
EQUIPMENT - Buying (or renting) powerful state-of-the-art equipment will make the set goals easier to achieve. We will be able to create (and later, demonstrate) quality environments, realistic character models and breathtaking effects.
We are planning to get one of these. Xsens MVN will allow us to create extremely high-quality animations for your characters.
SOFTWARE - Development of any product requires professional software. Your help will allow us to acquire the best tools to create the best graphics, gameplay and maximum client and server optimization.
LORE AND STORYLINE - We are building a large universe with advanced storylines, but this requires a lot of effort from our designers. Your funds will allow us to hire more professionals to make this part of the game better and even more interesting.
MUSIC AND AUDIO - Atmosphere, music and sound effects are an important parts of our vision. To create that, we will need quality equipment and partnerships with recording studios. Furthermore, we want to hire professional musicians for some parts of the soundtrack.
CHARACTER DESIGN - Character appearance and clothing are one of the most important parts of the game. We put a lot of effort into creating clothing and accessories but we want to give you guys even more.
This reward will be available to everyone who supported the project with any sum. We will put your name (or nickname) into the “Thanks” section of the credits, as well as on our website and social networks. This reward will be available immediately after the end of the campaign.

Our pledgers will receive these rewards once the game is released.
Another reward for everyone who supports our project. This is a set of five full-sized pieces of concept-art which we will send you to be downloaded digitally. The set will be based on the official works of our artists. We will prepare this set soon after the completion of this campaign.
This is an official digital edition of our soundtrack, containing main tracks from the game. It will include the best tracks created by composers and musicians with whom we collaborate or will collaborate in the future. The creation of this soundtrack will take some time. Therefore, we plan to give you this award during the alpha or beta testing.

In addition to the previous reward, you will also receive an invite to one of the phases of the closed beta-testing.

Once in a lifetime chance to become one of the first Kindred. The phases you’ll be invited to will be decided by a random draw, as we will be working to ensure the stability of all systems. We hope we will be able to reach the first alpha release in the fall of 2016.

We will add more, if you reach the maximum.
Prelude Games Factory is a young team of developers, formed in April 2014 with a goal to create and develop a setting called Dogma: Eternal Night. Our team has members from post-soviet countries, such as Russia or Republic of Belarus, as well as those from numerous other countries from around the world such as the United States. The most important tenet our team upholds is “for the fans, by the fans” and each and every one of us are, first of all, a part of the gaming community and secondly, we’re then developers.
The idea to create the team and the project first appeared at the end of 2013, as the rumors about the cancellation of a well-known IP began to circulate. As cancellations for many promising games happened, in April 2014, the members and the administrators of a Russian community decided to join forces and create their own game.
Riesgos y desafíos
Game development is a difficult and risky endeavor, and Massively Multiplayer Online games are among the most challenging. The Dogma: Eternal Night team, led by Denis "AiryKai" Petrov, consists of some of the most passionate developers, gamers and professionals in world.
All time lines have been planned and estimated as well as possible internally, however game development is an iterative process and this means that schedules cannot always be guaranteed. This includes release dates for stages of development, betas (internal, Alpha, etc).
Our commitment to you:
We will use ALL of the funds raised to directly further the development of Dogma: Eternal Night.
We will do our best to deliver each stage of the game on time and with the highest level of polish possible.
We will stay in constant communication with you, our community, to let you know of changes to our content, features or schedule. This can be already seen on our social media platforms as well as our forums.
