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

[Tyranicon]

I swear, the sheer incompetency of modern devs has made people think it's way harder than it actually is.

The entirety of that trailer was constructed, filmed and edited in the same two months that I learned Unreal and was finishing up a completely different game.

I'm more interested in seeing the demo.

More latex, rubber corsets and fetish fashion please. Rubber cyberpunk femme vampire asses should squeak when they walk.

 

[lightbane]

actually tried to steer my lineages/factions very far away from VtM. And besides the Egyptian-themed one, I think they are very different, unless there's an underground Lovecraftian goddess-worshipping clan in VtM that I'm not aware of.

You can't be a vampire werewolf.

Being a werewolf would probably take a whole 'nother game, just like being a Slayer.

The werewolf in a dark setting with vampires running things made me think of WoD. I bet there's at least one faction that worshiped Lovecraftian horrors in one of the dozens of books.
Shame you can't become a werewolf. What happens if you become a vampire while working for the woof faction? Usually, wolves and vamps are opposed, but you may have it different.

Honestly, I don't really think it's that hard to achieve what I want, but I know myself and my capabilities better than anybody else. It's mostly a money issue. If I get enough money, I will do great things. I'm pretty confident about that. It's not idle boasting, it's just a sober accounting of what I am.

Prepare yourself for stress, lest one day you decide to put pronouns in your bio and then start an one way trip to very dark places...

Baali sort of fit the bill.

 

[Grunker]

I expect AAAA quality, nothing less!

wow, settle down

i said i didn't have faith the game would deliver, not that it would be complete ass

Don’t worry about it. Since there aren’t many urban fantasy settings due the genre being niche or dead or whatever, especially in video games, you’re gonna continually be compared to that one because it’s the only point of comparison anyone has. Even if the comparisons are baseless, people are gonna make it anyway.

Or well, I suppose it will be “ass”, just not, you know, *ass*

Watching the trailer explode in popularity has been very satisfying. Love it.

Are you relaunching the Kickstarter soon?

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

Love all the plebs crying about turn based in the comments of the trailer

Yeah, it's been overwhelmingly positive, which is a slight surprise. I think people have just been waiting for something like this for a very long time.

I still have a few things to get together before the kickstarter goes live, perks of handling all the marketing material myself. It'll probably start sometime in September.

Will you make general lore breakdowns for each faction? You gotta have to follow the Bloodlines 2 method of dev diaries.

 

[Demo.Graph]

It's just a mascot, don't mistake me for a rodent or something.

Come on, we know that you're a miniature giant space hamster.

I was rushing pretty hard to try and get it in time for the Kickstarter but that was more or less an impossible task with the engine migration. I also don't want to put out something that feels rushed and tanks the hype I've somehow built up.

I really, really don't want to follow in the footsteps of the VtMB2 marketing team. I'll go on record saying that is one of the most disastrous marketing campaigns I've ever seen for an RPG. Personal opinion, whatever.

But I'll probably just link this video:

 

[ropetight]

Is this true,Tyranicon - did you have the playtest for some pre-alpha demo couple of months ago?

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Maybe ManlyMouseDan will do the squeaking (surely he'll be in the game).

After seeing some of those factions (esp the cthonic one) and then this rando comic today:

I have to wonder if you can screw various entities. Come on.. Tentacle porn to appease the squeeze.

Damn impressive in such a short time and by not setting a release date you aren't obligated to shove this out like damn AAAA studios.

Cheers.

Will I be able to remain human and exterminate those filthy demons of cyborgs & vampires?

 

[Tyranicon]

The old, very outdated demo is still available. I'm leaving it up so people can get a sense of the writing and world, etc.

Will I be able to remain human and exterminate those filthy demons of cyborgs & vampires?

I am planning paths that don't align with the vampires, but if you want a Deus Vult purge 'em all type deal, you'll have to wait for the Slayer Order game I'm making if this is successful.

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

One more thing: Can I completely avoid the coomer stuff and not have a single sex thing the entire game? I've completely avoided everything else you made because of that + RPGMaker (the look of those games makes me sick). This one caught my attention but only if I can avoid the coomer porn stuff.

 

[Tyranicon]

So there's a /vrpg/ thread where all the anons are accusing each other of being me. Thought it was funny enough to share.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Rabid vapid vampy the masquerade simps. They sure like to bite at thin air.

>>dev lost the respect of a random anon
>devbros... can we still make it??
Fucking kek

 

[Tyranicon]

I did learn something about /vrpg/ I've always wondered about, and I had it confirmed by those in the know.

I should be nicer to other devs from now on. It's not respectable to bitch all the time. I probably can dial back the smugness too, my ego is a problem I have to maintain.



Being an ass is more fun though :/

 

[jaekl]

Thinking of getting your nuts removed so you can fit in with your fellow game developers?

 

[Tyranicon]

Shhh, not out loud.
