World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from Hardsuit Labs

[Vincente]

there is only v5 and Age of Sigmar.

In an alternate universe, V5 is good and Age of Sigmar is about Iron Age barbarians and how Sigmar established the Empire.

I spare you the details:

To all of you asking: I have no fucking idea.

I’m still catching up myself, as I’ve been out of the loop so long on social outlets, but here’s what I can say:

- To be clear, me and Brian Mitsoda don’t get along. This is because he is way too tall, and I hate his fingerless gloves. He probably hates me because I am short and I do not wear gloves that aren’t made from human skin.

- I suspect Brian was brought on to give more validity to the project’s success and perception (Rik puts it better by using the word “soul,” below). Brian was instrumental in the pitch.

 

[Can't handle the bacon]

logically

Yeah. Because in fantasy settings, it's always best to boil away any sense of joy and wonder in favor of "muh 'realistic' explanation". And those dull, pedantic justifications are always canon. Mm hm.

I have no idea what your blathering is supposed to mean but it seems to be completely retarded.

Still pretending this isn't vaporware I see.
Hope springs eternal on the Codex.

 

[Tacgnol]

Chris sure loves scorching earth.

To be fair, Chris seems to avoid dropping any direct dirt. Interesting that none of his work got used, not that it would have been anyway considering the virtue signalling over the accusations.

He seems as puzzled by the firing of Mitsoda as the rest of us.

 

[fantadomat]

LoL love how edgy and no shit given MCA have become since the sjw rape with no lube included.

 

[Zombra]

Of course you don't.

 

[passerby]

Oh wow, Chris has no delusions of being able to work for the mainstream of the game industry ever again.

I think that it was more of a scam than vapourware. From what i read,it looks like they wanted star power to get gibz from paradox and then kept the company going at minimum and after some time cleaned everything and fucked off.

No MCA, no Mitsoda, no point to the sequel.

Nice to see MCA mentioning Wesp5 though.

Chances were high that even with MCA, you wouldn't have seen anything made by MCA in Bloodlines 2.

-To explain my contract: I worked on Bloodlines 2 for almost 2 and a half years, from 2016 to mid-2018, then my contract came to an end. They didn’t use anything I wrote during that time, which was a number of major characters and side missions, check my LinkedIn

 

[Delterius]

Nah the argument to make it retro is that no one likes the contemporary aesthetic because it is unlikeable, given that it is intentionally ugly.

baby's first 'do i fit in yet?' post

lmao the 1990s, age of based and trad

dayum

 

[Gargaune]

They haven’t done any RPG games themselves to my knowledge (yet, I guess).

I felt a great disturbance in the Web, as if millions of Codexians suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly buttoned.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

What the fuck happened to bloodlines 2? And my eternal fight with Brian Mitsoda about heights and gloves.

Really good reading, i'm waiting for the sequel.

Saving you a 10 minute read:

"I don't know."

 

[Tyranicon]

You know what I never got? Why some of these OG devs just don't solodev a RPG on Unity, GMS or even RPGmaker.

Stop resting on your laurels or hiring incompetents to do it for you. Seriously, even a 5-hour game with a big name behind it would probably sell really well. I would legit buy a game by Avellone made in RPGmaker with base assets.

thats a great reason not to solo an rpg

Because they don't want their game to look like Golden Fall 2.

A good game these days needs more that just a passable story.

Hey, RPGmaker is a great engine once you spend three years on it and realize you could've been building on Unity instead.
