This would definitely not be the Codex's favorite way of teasing it though.

OK, so here are a few more details about this.

There were two different people who told me about a Vampire RPG in development. This was back in late 2017.

One of them told me he'd spoken to an external playtester. Interestingly, said playtester had been supplied with a build of the game that omitted the name of the developer. He had no idea who made the game he was playtesting. But by the style of the game, he was convinced it was an Obsidian RPG (which of course it wasn't)

So I mean it actually could be one

If it is, I hope they have Alice & Smith developing it. Their work on The Secret World was really good in terms of actually letting you get immersed in the world with their "investigation" quests and the ARG-like sites they created to blend fiction with real world. It almost scratched the itch left by Majestic when EA pulled the plug on it in light of 9/11.

We know Alice & Smith created and is running the current Tender ARG for them, so it's within the realm of possibility, I think.

Announcement from few days earlier about new Paradox studio at California lead by guy who made second life looks so scary now, it will be multiplayer project for 50% sure which makes me sad panda.

March 7, 2019 8:06 AM
"The studio will be led by former EA, Linden Labs exec, Rod Humble. Paradox Tectonic is a curious addition to the offbeat strategy publisher's portfolio.

Paradox Interactive is expanding its presence in the U.S. by opening a new studio in the Bay Area: Paradox Tectonic. The new internal development studio, located in Berkeley, CA, will be helmed by Rod Humble, former Executive Vice President at EA and former CEO of Linden Labs (the creative minds behind Second Life)."

SOURCE: IT IS FOR REAL, IT IS NOT FAKE NEWS [its branch article Infinitron] !
https://gamedaily.biz/article/656/paradox-interactive-opens-new-development-studio-in-berkeley-ca

https://secondlife.com/ looks scary like shit...

I bet these guys are much behind whole Tender like promotion agenda...


So get ready your vampiric asses to be drilled by some SimS like online freaks.

"Humble's pedigree in simulation games like :stunned:Second Life and the Sims:despair: (as he had his hands in both The Sims 2 and The Sims 3):badnews: bring an interesting flavor to Paradox Interactive's growing collective of bespoke studios. Each of Paradox's internal development studios -- including Seattle's Harebrained Schemes and The Netherlands' Triumph Studios -- have created immersive, strategic experiences with rich narrative in games like Battletech and Age of Wonders.

“Our aim with Paradox Tectonic is to create open, fun, beautiful games which respect the players' intelligence and enables their creativity, freedom, emotion, and sharing,” Rod Humble, Studio Head at Paradox Tectonic, said in a statement. “Our studio structure is using best practices for modern development: a flat organization in a low-friction environment with a team of highly experienced domain experts. It’s a privilege to be reunited with so many world-class colleagues from so many triple-A projects, and the team and I are delighted to join Paradox and be part of driving the company’s next cycle of growth. Our shared values of quality and putting the customer first made Paradox the perfect fit for us.”

It's unclear how Paradox Tectonic will fit into Paradox Interactive's strategy game portfolio, but CEO Ebba Ljungerud is confident that the studio's location, regardless of cost of living, will play into its overall success.

“Opening a studio in the California Bay Area puts us in the heart of one of the largest gaming and tech communities in the world,” Ebba Ljungerud, CEO of Paradox Interactive, said in a statement. “Rod Humble and his team bring a wealth of experience and a studio leader who has led work on games that have shaped the industry several times over. We hope to have some earth-shaking news to share from the Tectonic team soon.”

Just got a mail from Paradox that they've started a "TenderApp Twitch Stream", but it's not really showing anything new at the moment.

Probably old news by now but when you read description at http://tenderbeta.com/ it says:

"Whether you’re looking for meaningful friendships, true love or simply a late night bite with a kindred spirit, Tender is here to help."

Anyone registered an account?

maybe it's not a video game, maybe it's going to reveal that vampires are really real

I would be so disappointed if that was the case, I was waiting so much for this game :?
