Tiller talks AVS, two unannounced games 25 Jul, 2008 / Comments: 8

By Jason


By reading The Pumpkin Post, you could learn about this interview with Bill Tiller by Kezins. Tiller supplies lots about the current progress of both A Vampyre Story and its first sequel, as well as a bit about two - count 'em, two - unannounced adventure games we should expect to see from Autumn Moon in the future. It seems that to reflect the crazy amount of activity going on at the studio there has been some significant expansion:
To accommodate doing three games we expanded from five people in house to eleven in house people. And we about that many out of house now too. We also now have a business manager and president, and he has really helped us grow and get more organized, and soon will get us involved with investors to help expand the business even more. We also have a new background painter, rigger, programmer, writer and two engine programmers. So it has been an incredible last six months and exciting things are starting to happen at an alarmingly rapid pace.
It is also suggested that we should expect an appearance of the game at this year's Leipzig convention in August, which may coincide with a site redesign.

Anyway, do read it all, because you will learn much. Plus, there's a new screenshot!

    I think you missed a crucial bit there - about the next unannounced title being for fans of LucasArts adventure games. I thought A Vampyre Story was for those fans?

    I would assume everything they do is for those fans.

    Yeah, which makes me wonder why it was pointed out specifically for the new game! Maybe it's Grim Fandango 2! (Nah)

    I highly doubt it, but it would so unreal if they did, wouldn't they? He already stated that the new unannounced game is original IP with themes that you can find in every kind of media nowadays, my guess is its pirate related. But the good news is that they'll be announcing it, and the other new game which just began its conceptual stage, soon, around Leipzig maybe?

    I haven't been excited about adventure games since the 90's. I mean with a vampyre story, the abbey, Wallace & Grommit, Sam & Max S3, and the whispered world all coming Q4 08 - Q1 09, the adventure genre is FINALLY coming back. It's been worth the wait.
