What can I say? If there were such grimoires, I'd probably do much more reading.




Also, I'd probably play or even complete Grimoire.

Lore book is available on itch and steam. Steam version has a sale since it's a DLC whereas the itch version is a standalone.

Hmmm. I'm gonna buy this book, probably next week.

I know I'm bad at titles, so I'm thinking of changing Vampire Gangs to something else. What think?

 

[Dadd]

The main thing that can be improved with the title is making it more concise and evocative. Both names are too long and don't evoke much for people who don't know anything about the game.

 

[Harthwain]

Vampire Syndicate is certainly a much better title. "Gangs of MoonFall" as a subtitle is OK. I also like the style in terms of font and the colours - it may be a pink-ish red, but the lighting makes the letters appear more "solid" (for the lack of better term). I'd say: roll with it.

But do add a visual cover to it. Something you usually put on a book or a video game box. It will help you sell the idea what your vampires are about a lot better than the words alone.

Blood Cabal: gangs of moonfall - got that rhyming bonus too.
That said, don't your vampires have a collective organisation whose name you can use?

But to me cyberpunk is more like this

I think powered armor and such are quite at home in cyberpunk.

Ghost in the Shell

Anyway, I wholeheartedly approve of the near-full-body prosthesis armor idea. If you can go full vampire, it's only fitting that you can go to the other extreme as well. I also agree that Vampire Syndicate is a much better (and more cyberpunk-sounding) name than Vampire Gangs.

 

[Technomancer]

But as a prosthetic I think it's kind of cool, especially since you can lower the head even further down into the chest cavity to further protect it.

Omnesiah please. I've been waiting so long for full body cyborgs in RPGs, or some inhuman shell upgrade options like when anatomy gets altered (like you said, brain in armored chest) yet no one fucking does it. I'm tired of just limbs and implants. And I don't care if its a vamp game that finally delivers.

 

[Peachcurl]

New title is better. I'd consider to change "Gangs" though. Sounds much less professional or organized than syndicate, not sure this fits together. It does reference the same aspect, right? Doesn't that make it redundant?

Maybe something like "Predators of MoonFall"? "Strife of MoonFall"?

Oh, I got one:

If nothing else, it sure brings back good memories!

Blood Cartel: Vampires of Moonfall

Red Cartel: Moonfall

Overall I think Cartel is more appropriate than syndicate or just simply gangs.

Earliest American Cartel was the Chicago Outfit under Johnny Torrio, Capone, and Ricca. In the criminal sense, it's essentially an alliance of gangs within a community to corner a market of some sort. The Outfit was and is made up of dozens of powerful gangs, and acts like a corporation in many ways more than a crime family, with the many bosses/capos functioning as a board of directors.

They elect a boss to be a day to day operations guy, and they've had shadow executives in the past, such as Tony "Joe Batters" Accardo (his nickname was from Al Capone) who were essentially retired and not collecting anything but you had to come to them to get permission for a hit or murder of any kind.

The day to day or front boss runs the direction the Outfit takes, the board oversees things and elects a new boss in case of issues. An example is after Joey Doves Aiuppa went to prison from the casino take, the Outfit elected Black Sam Carlisi I think to be the front boss, while Joe Accardo would act as temporary advisor but still remain in retirement.

Blood Cabal: Vampires of Moonfall
Blood Syndicate: Vampires of Moonfall
Sanguine Syndicate: Vampires of Moonfall

Alright a little more serious:
Moonfall: Crimson Syndicate

I thought it might be nice to name the game after the place it takes place in. At least, that what the name Moonfall so far suggested to me. Crimson to be a little less on the nose that the game is about vampires. Also is somewhat recognizable with Vampire: Bloodlines. I hope at least.

 

[Tyranicon]

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll think more about it before I request a name change through steam. Don't want to do it too many times.

Collectively the vampires are called the Uzakh Drucah, but that doesn't really have wide appeal.

 

[Zombra]

Make it punchy.
CYBERVAMPS
I mean geez, I already want to buy a game with that name.

 

[kangaxx]

Had a look at some of the renders on Steam... it looks great. The idea appeals to me too. God speed good developer, I'm rooting for this one to be good.

 

[Drowed]

The isometric view screenshots look great and the description of the mechanics is very interesting, but... God, the models (and anime art) are creepy as fuck. I was going to make a comparison to poorly made 3D adult content, until I saw the part mentioning adult content, so, oh. It all made sense I guess. Best of luck, of course.

I second this. It effectively gets the concept across

My suggestion would’ve been something like “Cyborg Vampire Gang Wars.”

Didn't the guy behind the game say that vampires can't be cyborgs? It doesn't make sense if so.
