Cutting straight to the chase - Bill Tiller has updated the Autumn Moon Blog page with their current status.
It's mostly to do with the new staff members joining the team, but there is a quick encouraging paragraph about A Vampyre Story:
I want to give you all an update on what we are doing and give you some news. First, we are frantically working on all the bug fixes and scripting for AVS1. No firm release date yet but we are getting close and I'm thrilled with the progress.Interesting how he refers to the game as AVS1, even though I know we've known that sequels are a dead cert. Anyway, I'm excited! And you should be too - A Vampyre Story is nearly here!
I am excited for the game, but, Jesus, just release it already.
