Vampire Diaries
We'll answer some questions you might have below.
What's in the update?
It's an almost complete overhaul for vampire characters. The absolute basics remain the same, but there are new mechanics and a lot of new content, including new NPCs to meet.
Is it free?
Yes, this is a free update and will download into your game automatically. There are some credit-locked options within it, but the vast majority of the content is not locked.
Does this add supernatural elements to cpd's world?
No. Our vampires are genetically engineered mutants. Nothing supernatural or magic about them.
How do I play as a vampire?
Being a vampire is a mutation choice, so you need to play as a mutant character if you don't already have one (either by restarting or getting an alt character). Be aware, however, that being a vampire is mutually exclusive with being a cannibal mutant, so don't pick the latter option first.
How do I get the most out of this content?
There are multiple paths to take as a vampire, but at one point you'll be offered the choice to join a coven. This is where the most content lies.
Will I be able to found my own coven?
This is planned content and will be credit-locked when it comes.
What about non-vampires?
This update is all about vampire characters, but during the event there will be some preview items and unique access codes, and maybe some other things during the week... we'll see.
Have fun, and remember: it's finger lickin' good.

Devlog #18 - Kimchi Man!
The first update of the month, Kimchi Man, was a big one, focusing on the brand new mechanic of Current stash. Now your characters have a value for consumables readily available to them, such as ammo, pills and food.
You can have fixed or mobile stashes, all relevant pieces of clothing now have a corresponding carrying capacity, and even new items - such as packs and bags - were added to the Outfit tab. The update also contained a lot of other tweaks to items, with different stats being changed or removed, prices being adjusted, and shops being reorganized.
As usual with completely new mechanics, these changes are paving the way for content to come. Our goal is always to add more depth, immersion and realism to the gameplay, without adding too much in the way of micromanagement. Choice is also important, so the system is flexible in terms of how you manage and deal with it.
In particular with the new Current stash mechanics, the idea that all your stuff is always available to you all the time – even in places such as jail – had frequently been pointed out as immersion breaking by players, so it was time to do something about it. This new system is designed to balance immersion and micromanagement by abstracting the amount of stuff that you’re carrying to a single number. So instead of having to select exactly what you’re carrying all the time, it’s enough to know that you’ve got the things you need with you. How much you’re willing to carry is up to you. A big backpack will let you carry a lot, for example, but isn’t particularly secure or stylish, whereas a small purse might be all you need for a night out on the town.
But what new content requires these new mechanics? Whilst they make sense for jail and some other areas of the game, there was one in particular where not having a mechanic like this before it launches would really not make sense, and that’s the Badlands. Watch this space.
Although there were no other large updates, we released four small patches. Sorting mechanics for common items were overhauled, making the process easier and smoother; job mechanics such as junk contracts and the fuel depot underwent adjustments; and there are new items to be found in shops and your workshop.
The app itself also received some love, going through some performance upgrades and having the UI refined. New tabs were created and some rearranged so as to make it easier for you to find what you’re looking for; and mouse hover notes were added with some useful information.
As always, plenty of other minor changes and tweaks were made, new content and art added, and bugs and typos fixed. If you want to see the thorough, detailed list, the changelogs are all available here, on Steam. Check them out.
Speaking of feedback, it’s always great to hear from you and understand how your experience with the game is going so far. If you think of something, or just want to chat about cpd, don’t forget to join the discussion at our discord server. You can also find us on twitter, for a touch of Cinci and the occasional news.
That’s it for now. Thank you for your time, and I’ll see you next month!

Devlog #17 - Access continued
First of all, thank you to everyone who joined in and played during cpd’s anniversary. The event spanned an entire week and saw plenty of players, both old and new, jumping into the game. We’re happy to have engaged so many of you with the flow of business and action that’s always moving through the streets of Cinci. If you missed it this time, don’t worry, there’s always next year!
And what exactly may have you missed? Although many players claimed for another chance to grab the Sinzil Crimson X, the spotlight goes to the brand items exclusive to this year’s anniversary: the Azokiwear Zone One, another phone with extra functionalities; and the Square-edged machete, a unique weapon with a powerful fear effect.
And of course, there’s The traitor you choose, a short story that opens a lot of future possibilities for your character. Depending, of course, on your choices. If you played at any time during the event, don’t worry, this story was already unlocked and will be available for you even now that the event is done. If you didn’t, keep an eye here or on our discord and we’ll let you know when the next event – and next exclusive story – are coming.
But May wasn’t marked only by the anniversary event: we kept updating the game and revamping old systems, as usual. Our last update, Access Continued, completely reworked how access codes function within cpd. Now codes can be found in several places, be it in our discord, through exploring the game with your character, or some other way.
With a new rule for not sharing codes and the new system allowing for codes to be applied to specific characters in specific circumstances, we hope to provide a more personalised and meaningful experience throughout different playthroughs.
This update also featured more than changes to access codes. Several changes were made to sorting goods and the clothing system, as well as to some cards. We also added ZingZing eye drops. And, as ever, plenty of tweaks, typos and bug fixes, and new art were added to the game. Keep the reports coming, we sure appreciate it. You can always check the full changelogs in our discord server or here on Steam.
Thank you for the interest in what’s going on with us and the game. If you want to talk about it, be sure to join us at our discord server, the hub of our community. And keep an eye on our twitter page for any news. Until next time!
