20.08.2007 | Welcome to the crypt!
In the middle of the sparsely populated Draxsylvanian countryside stands the Castle Warg, the formerly majestic structure now consumed and corrupted by the forces of evil. On the balcony of the highest tower, a beautiful young woman stands staring sadly out into the distance. Kidnapped and imprisoned by the owner of the castle, her dream of becoming the world’s greatest opera singer having been extinguished in a single night …as was her life itself. Her name is Mona de Lafitte…and she is a vampyre!
Hello everybody! The team at Autumn Moon entertainment would like to welcome you to the official A Vampyre Story blog. We’re really excited about our partnership with Crimson Cow because they’re helping us to realize the dream of bringing A Vampyre Story to life. Production on the game is coming to a close – a lot of background art has been completed, all of the models have been….um….modeled, and the dialogue is almost complete (I just have to figure out what the horse says in a few sequences……I’m thinking “neigh” although maybe I should go with the more dramatic “NEIGH!”)
A Vampyre Story will be the first major release from Autumn Moon Entertainment, a company comprised of a group of game company veterans with just the right infusion of youthful energy and talent. A Vampyre Story will chronicle the adventures of the aforementioned Mona de Lafitte and her trusty sidekick Froderick the bat. Together the two of them will go forth and conquer evil…..or at the very least, take the first step towards a long and wondrous adventure which will bring them into contact with an amazing cast of characters. Some alive, some dead, and at least one that’s…well, hard to qualify. You’ll know him when you see him – he certainly has a thing for Mona!
It’s been amazing to watch the fan reaction to the game. Ever since it was first announced the Autumn Moon office has received messages from people around the world, asking questions or just voicing their support. Apparently, like the team working on A Vampyre Story, you believe there is a market for fun, light-hearted adventure games. What you won’t find in A Vampyre Story are running gunfights, carjackings, or unbridled violence. Although, I have to warn you that you may hear the occasional borderline inappropriate comment from Froderick, we’re trying to keep him in check – no promises though. That bat has a mind of his own…and a mouth to match.
The team at AME would like to use this blog to give you updates about the game and keep you informed about the shenanigans taking place around the AME office (which reminds me, it’s time for Bill Tiller to take his medication). Oh, and about that quote at the beginning? Don’t worry about Mona – her life is about the change for the better. She’s going to get an opportunity to escape that castle, but she can’t do it alone - she’s going to need your help. Are you up to the challenge? Keep your stakes sharpened, and your crosses crossed,
