Paradox offers indie developers to make their Vampire: The Masquarade

Tired of waiting Vampire: The Masquarade – Bloodlines 2? So do your own! The World of Darkness brand belonging Paradox Interactive, I launched the initiative of Unbound, in the framework of which indie developers can create a game based on the fifth edition of the desktop "Masquerade".

Selected entertainment will receive marketing support and will be published on ITCH.Io. Developers will be able to help out up to 67 % of sales income and decide how much to pay the site.

The authors will belong to all game elements, except for those directly related to the "world of darkness". That is, original assets, including artbooks and soundtracks, will allow you to distribute it independently.

As World of Darkness notes, Games under the auspices of Unbound will not become the canon of Vampire: The Masquarade. Therefore, the developers are allowed to use creative freedom in full swing.

Actually awesome news. Among the pack of indie there will probably be a dozen excellent if the community is getting down to business

Vangu that the situation will be approximately like with games in wahe

T.e. they are at least and sometimes even quite good?

All this is certainly fun, but

Developers can create a game based on the fifth edition of the desktop "Masquerade".

On this fun ends because the fifth edition of the masquerade in the first time looks like some kind of Early Access from the world of board games. Secondly, what the fifth edition can offer is extremely toothless content rotating around the mental throwing of the Cainites about their humanity. Okay, but the masquerade is not only about it. And in general, as the fifth edition can be called a masquerade if it is based on what humanity now knows about the existence of vampires.

In general, all this sounds like swan

Then, they are counting in advance on single-button chehmic games for an hour, which can then be sold by gangs in Steam 15 bucks per Bandle, without giving the developers any profit, since the income section was agreed only within the ITCH platform.Io.

As World of Darkness notes, Games under the auspices of Unbound will not become the canon of Vampire: The Masquarade. Therefore, the developers are allowed to use creative freedom in full swing.

Congratulations, you killed the whole point of this venture. Well, why is this “complete creative freedom” if you have set the framework in advance in the form of using only the fifth edition?

Yes, you’re right, I have not read the news to the end … Now the context is clear

I agree, a bunch of ready -made ases and like. Take and do!

Throw off for treatment, I will not mind

If the WOD brand gives indie developers to make games on the setting of vampires, then they are in vain to give the opportunity to make other subtyttings of the game. Let them better try to give games about magicians, or werewolves, or the same spirits. The field is not bad, since from relative to games in these complaints only one copy and several readers.
