It's like she's a vampire or something! 10 Sep, 2008, 23:21 / 5 comments

Wanna see Mona, the heroine of Bill Tiller's upcoming A Vampyre Story, turn into a bat? Well, as The Pumpkin Post points out, the game's official site has been updated with two extremely brief video clips of Mona performing her bat-transformation power. I most enjoyed the background effects.

The screenshot gallery has also been updated with "two new screenshots," but I can only find one. Anyhow, check it all out! And hopefully we'll all be playing this at the end of next month.

    I liked these...lots of great animation going on the background. Scrolling clouds, undulating water, drifting snow, nice fire effects - looks great. I hope the audioscape is as rich as it was in COMI.

    One thing I've always thought now that the 3D characters are lit by in-scene lighting, is that the HUD elements (cursor, inventory window, etc.) should be 3D and lit (without reducing core visibility) by the scene as well. I think it would help them feel more integrated into the game, and less of an abstraction applied on top of everything else behind it.

    hmm, that's a nice idea.
    indeed, this would be cool.
    reminds a little bit of the hand in black & white.

    They are pretty underwhelming in my opinion..
    It seems strange to me why they would choose to show these tiny clips as part of the promotion, you would hope they had something better to get us excited with.

    Indeed a pretty strange choice. Maybe they are only the beginning and we will see more footage soon.
