It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Quote from: The Minsky Moment on September 26, 2023, 09:19:15 AMThe Little Mermaid has an evil witch and killer eels but I wouldn't exactly call it horror.
The prequel, though...

Did you know:

Ariel spent her early life as a pirate who would lure unsuspecting ships to their doom onto shoals so that she could plunder the wrecks for thingamabobs!

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Quote from: Caliga on September 18, 2023, 11:23:35 AMMeaning you want a game with vampires, werewolves, and ghosts, but you don't want it to be scary?

If so that makes sense, I'm just trying to understand what you want.
The Witcher isn't scary.  Yet, it has vampires, werewolves and ghosts.
And the vampires aren't glittery. :P

QuoteTo quickly recap, Mattias and Alex share:

Bloodlines 2's release window has been updated to the first half of 2025.

Paradox and The Chinese Room's commitment to delivering a high-quality action RPG for Vampire fans, new and old.

Some of the things they're excited about working on with the additional time.

The Chinese Room and Paradox will continue to post frequent updates, including Dev Diaries, deep dives, and more. We are not going into a quiet period; our teams have been hard at work making the best possible Vampire Action RPG and have lots of cool stuff to share.

Why are you updating the release window?
Earlier this year, Paradox reaffirmed our commitment to delivering high-quality games to our players, and the launch update is a proactive decision derived from this commitment. Though the game is in a good enough place that we could have maintained our planned release window, Paradox and The Chinese Room collaboratively decided to prioritize polish.

What will the additional time be used for?
It will be used to create a quality assurance buffer, giving more time between testing and launch, ensuring we release the game when it's ready. The extra time gives us an opportunity to adjust certain areas, such as Fabien, and incorporate other community feedback.

We will also use the time to expand the game's story, and now Bloodlines 2 will have more than twice as many endings as its predecessor.

Fine with me.  Just don't release a pile of bug-ridden trash.

Just make it good. We already have a Bloodlines game that failed to live up to its potential, we don't need another one.

I really do wonder what's wrong in paradox. Nothing is going their way.

Though a properly debugged and complete bloodlines would be nice.

Still fingers crossed for low horror.

Kids today seem to love horror games. Might be a winning move.

Of course that probably isn't the target audience  :P
