Halloween came and went with nary a hint of news on A Vampyre Story: Year One...at least, not for anyone who doesn't follow Bill Tiller on Twitter. Apparently, Bill has joined up with Munky Fun, another one of those ex-LEC startups, to lend his talents to an iOS5 FPS that he describes as "free, cartoony, fun, and silly."
Bill taking this gig means that production on the AVS prequel is "pretty much on hold till December at the soonest," but it may also translate into quid pro quo. Bill speculates that he and Munky Fun (who assisted Autumn Moon with creating their proprietary engine) may end up collaborating on the completion of Year One after this project is done.
In the meantime, enjoy the latest delay of A Vampyre Story: Year One!

Pls and what's the status with AVS2 meanwhile? Any news here since the 2010 interview? The page http://www.avampyrestory2.com/ exists, but has no info at all...
The implication is that there are financial issues to hash out between Autumn Moon and Crimson Cow, though there are no details. Since the rights for AVS2 are tied to Crimson Cow, Bill is working on AVS: Year One in the meantime, though because it's self-funded it's a slow development that relies on his pulling in favors and taking other gigs.
