I refuse to get hyped...

There's like a 5% chance of this actually turning out good but god damn, I'm so ready to roll the dice and see what happens.

So you're saying this only succeeds with a natural 20?

[–] TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago

No no, it only succeeds on 4 success and you’ve got 6d10 to roll. If only they’d had more dots in intelligence or expression.

Thanks for the post. I'm happy that it's being worked on, but I have no expectations. Not even the expectation that it gets released.

But if it releases and is decent at conveying that special World of Darkness feeling, I'm ready to forgive quite a number of technical flaws (after all, Bloodlines 1 is littered with technical problems and still the most amazing vampire RPG).

So it is really happening now, huh? I hope that I can play my Toreador again! We shall have fun :)

"I refuse to get hyped..."

Ugh, same. I really really really want this to be good. My late best friend introduced me to the first VtM Bloodlines game, as well as VtM more generally. It'd be cool if it did end up being decent, but I don't think it will

Random stranger here but genuinely sorry for your loss. Hope he/she is in a much better place.

I am surprised. I already made peace with this game never actually being released. If it does, then great I guess. Nice to know someone is still working on it.

[–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

The best case scenario is that it releases in whatever broken mess it ends up being, with good bones and the same kind of thoughtful worldbuilding B1 had, and the community picks it up similarly and makes it into a cult classic.

I'm not holding my breath though, people are still scratching their heads on the developer announcement.

Oof. The new develop is not a well known indie…. Not looking good for handling a AAA sized scope…but we’ll see

[–] Hubi@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup, this is giving me Duke Nukem Forever vibes. I hope I'm wrong though.

Current developer is Dear Esther's developer, so I already don't have any hope.
