Ex-LucasArts Developers Try Vampyre Graphical Adventure

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to an AdventureGamers interview with ex-LucasArts developers Autumn Moon Entertainment regarding its early-in-development graphical adventure A Vampyre Story. They explain: "With the drop in sales for [the traditional graphical adventure] genre, it became harder to get assigned to new adventure game projects at [LucasArts]. It seemed like the only logical way to be a part of that kind of project again was to create something independently." The late-2005 due project is still seeking a publisher, but is further profiled in the June 2004 Inventory PDF magazine, and the interview also explains the plot ("A young French opera star becomes the object of obsession for a deranged vampire... She must escape his castle and return to Paris"), and possible game duration ("The game will be shorter than Curse of Monkey Island and longer than Full Throttle.")

The Ultimate Irony

I know it probably won't happen, but in the back of my mind I just wonder how these guys would react if LucasArts published their game. It would send the most confusing statement to everyone. "We won't publish adventure games, but we'll publish them!"

All Vampire Games....

...suck.

Admit it, you were all thinking the same thing.

Here's another idea for the Ex-Lucasarts People:

How about a graphical adventure called Mam & Sax: Free to Hire Investigative Peacekeepers?
