Crimson Cow Games, who hold the publishing rights to the first two A Vampyre Story games, have made a post on their Facebook page regarding the sequel, which has infamously been in a state of arrested development for three years. Unfortunately, the post is in German, so the best I can do is the best Bing can do:
Hereby, as we increasingly addressed story 2 lately on A Vampyre, we want to take this opportunity and keep you up to date. Unfortunately, there were various disagreements between developer and Publisher which resulted in that AVS 2 until today could not be published. But we work under high pressure to find a solution. This, especially your opinion interests us. What about her on the subject of episodes?

Update from Crimson Cow on their Facebook site:
"Thank you for your feedback regarding episodes and AVS2. We will refrain from doing episodes and try to solve the problem another way."

The implication, then, is that the problem is money, and therefore nothing has really changed.

Where can I buy AVS1 anyway? It doesn't seem to be on Steam, is it just retail?
AVS1 is available from pretty much every digital outlet EXCEPT Steam. You can find it on GamersGate, The Adventure Shop, etc. Shop around because it might be significantly cheaper in some places than others.
My only concern about AVS2 being episodic is that it started out as a single game. If breaking it into pieces is what it takes to get it out, fine, but I'd rather an episodic game have been designed that way from the start.
("under high pressure" from German just means they are trying really hard)
