KickStarter Vampire Syndicate: Gangs of MoonFall - Kickstarter now live!

[Tyranicon]

Excellent, its exactly the type of trailer that appeals to me

It seems like you are toning down the whole porn element and you use words like " explicit 18 + material available "

Is that because you dont want it to be thought of as a porn game but rather a game with optionable porn components?

Also did you create the main narrative? Did you think of the overall themes or did you get someone to assist but you had a broad view of how the story will unfold

But fantastic trailer, Im definitely going to be buying this game

If anything, the porn part has potential to be way more... involved than Memoirs. I just didn't want to get caught by YouTube censors.

Would you believe if I told you this was just one part of a massive machiavellian scheme worldbuilding project that I started more than a decade ago?

Ask him about his lore book

This is a real thing. I made a lore book for a porn game.

Eh don't worry, it's Brucie. He'll believe anything you tell him.

Unless it's true, then we have a problem.

Looks great, best of luck :]

I do believe you about the narrative, the reason Im interested is I have never engaged actively with someone who is creating a game that I want to play in its design phase

And the overall narrative is a big part of the fun in any game for me, I need to have a reason to want to play and it cant just be about combat or gaining levels

I use to DM in D&D and I used purchased modules but I also created my own campaigns and they had specific narratives

So yes Im keen to understand how you created the ideas for this IP. Like all games it will have resonance and concepts from established games like Vampire factions which is normal and expected

But if you can share as much as reasonably possible about the themes and ideas and then the inspiration for the game world but more importantly how do you decide final outcomes and consequence in the quests and story?

Is this something you decide or do you get feedback from other people, I hope Im making sense

Dude don't ask this shit, he's risking a Masquerade violation just by making rhe game as it is.

[BruceVC]

But there is a legitimate question around creativity and ideas and what people are inspired by when they create a narrative or write a story

Have you ever heard of writers block, its similar to what Im talking about and can happen to any creative person

[Storyfag]

Well, I've officially reached the point where YouTube stops sending me updates because comments and subs are flowing too quickly.

I'm doing my part

 

[GentlemanCthulhu]

excited for the game. Hope to be able to play it some time soon. Also make sure to not tone down the explicit content. Ideally there should be explicit solutions to quests etc.

Hey, Polish game journos wrote about your game!

[Shaja]

I don't care how basic / junky /simple it turns out to be. I will buy your game just for the vibes

 

[Vincente]

Tyranicon , will you have ingame stores for wardrobe customization, or are clothing options are all unlocked from get go like in the trailer?

 

[Zariusz]

Didn't expect this would look almost like a not porn game, maps look very detailed and atmospheric (though from the available footage it kinda feels like almost every map was on the same flat ground level), combat ui reminds me of the Colony Ship. Maybe you could try different font for the in game dialogues since it really stands out compared to everything else in game, maybe even VTMB style font differences for dialogue choices? I didnt expect i would be interested in a porn game of all things but here we are, tbh i expected that trailer for this would have slower view growth but now it has over 20k views and its not even been a full day after premiere. It seems that you have a chance to conquer a nice niche in the market, or cumquer if we are talking about coomer market, well good luck.

 

[Grunker]

Sorry, Tyranibro, but those amibitions for a solo dev? If I was forced to bet money, I'd place them squarely on "either you deliver less or you technically deliver it all but a lot of it is underwhelming."

Trailer has Cyperbunk-levels of ambition, and we all know how that went. Don't get me wrong, it looks cool, but anything with so many promises probably would.

Congrats on the attention you've received though. Nice milestone to reach.

You're missing option 3 where it takes a full 5 years more than the planned two decades of devtime to release.

 

[Habichtswalder]

Congratulations, seriously.
Not only for showing what is possible in the solo sector with such an ambitious project (and to have to courage to even try), but also for deservedly going a little "viral" with the trailer. Already over 20,000 views in a short time is good for a smaller channel. And certainly many people will be interested in Kickstarter.

I guess Grimoire and AoD both mean there's a bit of precedence for that option 3, but both of those are mediocre in my book

 

[Tyranicon]

Side note, you mention being a writer; have you considered publishing any novels set in this universe? You could even turn the main plot of your game into a book. Seems like there's plenty of material and good potential there for maybe even a series of books.

These games are the books. I have no plans to going back to writing novels.

Uh.... I was going to repost the video above for laughs but these are super broad questions that will get super broad answers.

Like "well, when I was a child I liked to read books" broad.

Can you be more specific?

 

[Grunker]

Hell, I'll throw a dollar or a hundred your way if there's a Kickstarter. That just doesn't mean I think there's a chance in hell you'll deliver

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Can you be more specific?

I think he's asking where you are ripping off all your setting details from.
A lot more vaguely and a lot more politely than I put it, of course.

 

[Alienman]

I expect AAAA quality, nothing less!

 

[ERYFKRAD]

We'll get it, one way or the other.

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

Bombs away

Some of those visuals look a bit too high detailed for the scope, while others like the faction hideouts look about right.
I understand these are for the trailer, hopefully it goes viral but I hope for the game itself you have a more achievable consistent quality level throughout. Looking great so far.

 

[Vincente]

The only quality AAAA we're getting is Tyranicon's screams as he crunches himself to deliver this game.
