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.")

In a candle lit tent filled with towl headed but otherwise fully naked sand niggers, an anonymous GNAA representative announced his plans to assassinate George W. Bush for his attempts to suppress faggotry in the US. While masturbating furiously during an anal sodomy, he was quoted as saying, "[George W. Bush's] bill to ban gay marriages may have been largely defeated in the US Senate, but the GNAA does not stand for overt insults to its sodomous ideology."
After an abrupt orgasm accompanied by profuse sweating which provided much needed drinkable liquid to the otherwise arid area, it was stated by the GNAA representatives that George W. Bush's assassination will be carried out "soon." They plan to deploy 37 Apache helicopters in a formation depicting an erect penis to the white house painted proudly with the Penisbird emblem. After suicide bombing the white house with a few of the helicopters, some of the remaining ones will land and initiate a full scale foot assault on the establishment. Fully erect and positively naked GNAA soldiers will capture the president and incapacitate him through a series of vicious and unrelenting sodomies, finally ending his miserable life by forcing him to suffocate by orally accepting the penis of a Gay Nigger.
Meanwhile, the secret service and other fascist American establishments will be kept at bay by GNAA's third corporate infantry, which consists of a Nigerian and Afghanistanian assembly of Gayniggers equipped with the weapons of mass destruction which were never found in Iraq due to the negligence of the now analy and orally sodomized president.
The GNAA has appropriated these weapons during it's recent hostile takeover of Electronic Arts and has profited $200 million in its third quarter due to its sale of Decapitation Insurance.
The assassination of George W. Bush will send a clear message to America that the GNAA cannot be suppressed through legislation. "Erotic torturous sodomy causing the death of the president is just the beginning."

You do realize that Slashdot anonymity isn't very anonymous, right? Slashdot logs your IP number, and your ISP (or the place where you work) logs your IP number, therefore anyone with the right access can find out who you are.
And since you just threatened the president, you might want to think about that.
I have nothing against the secret service getting rid of a few trolls. :)
Hell, I have some at work they're welcome to take with them, too... ;p
The GNAA is everywhere, it is all around us, even now in this very message thread. You can see them when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel them when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. They are the trolls that have been pulled over your virtual eyes to blind you from the truth.
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!"
Yeah, yeah, great news. It's nice to see the adventure game genre getting another chance. Sucks that Lucasarts have seen fit to turn their backs on the genre that played such a huge role in building their reputation.
All trite but true. However...
PLEASE, can we spell it "Vampire"? Please? Is that too much to ask? "Vampyre" just conjours up images of sad gothy kids and somethingawful awful-link-of-the-days.
...suck.
Admit it, you were all thinking the same thing.
I wish the Autumn Moon folks best of luck.
However, I am a little sad that they wound up going with the Syberia engine. I suppose it's just as well -- I suppose it's more modern and all that, and they listed their justifications -- but I would have gotten a kick out of it if they could have used the ScummVM engine (a free reimplementation of the old Lucasarts adventure engine, and what anyone playing Lucasarts adventure games on a modern OS uses today). Their earlier games at Lucasarts used that engine. They could use freely and was written by developers that had the same love of adventure games as the artists at Autumn Moon do.
May we never see th
lucasarts is an adventure game all by itself. http://www.internalmemos.com/memos/memodetails.php ?memo_id=2344/
After approximately 5 years of lying dormant the adventure genre is finally getting back on steam. I guess you can say that Syberia is the game that put the adventure genre back on the map. Now there are a lot of interesting games that are youst released or in the making. Check Adventuregamers.com and Just adventure + for details! I am not in any way connected to these sites, just very interested in new adventure games. The future is looking good! If only they would start making a new Tex Murphy game!
-- Cheers!
If I was a publisher, I would pick this up in a heartbeat... Just because LucasArts are RETARDED and don't realize they can profit on their great legacy like Sam & Max, Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, doesn't mean some other (smarter) publisher can't either.
... Longest Journey, Syberia, new Leisure Suit Larry game , this one .. I'm almost afraid to say it, but maybe, MAYBE, adventure games are making a comeback?
I, personally, can't wait to play this game, even though I'm not a big fan of White Wolf games
Sounds awesome, now if only they'll support Mac users like Lucasarts used to. There's nothing mentioned in the article, does anyone know if any ports other than the Xbox one are planned?
How about a graphical adventure called Mam & Sax: Free to Hire Investigative Peacekeepers?
*bangs a ruler on the desk*
I know it's a Monday and we're all sleepy and would all like to be back in bed right about now but let's keep it together, eh? Pull those heads out of the clouds!
