Either Paradox, who these days own Vampire: The Masquerade & World of Darkness writer White Wolf, are stepping into the Netflix & Chill game, or they’re they’re gearing as much as reveal a long-awaited follow-up to the legendary VTM: Bloodlines.
They’ve give you Tender, ostensibly a courting website. Whose metadata simply so occurs to learn “Whether you’re looking for meaningful friendships, true love or simply a late night bite with a kindred spirit, Tender is here to help.”
By the pricking of my thumbs…
I signed up nervously for Tender, readying my determined justifications ought to my accomplice stroll in and discover me creating a web-based courting profile whereas she exhaustedly hauled our e’er-vomiting child round the home. Fortunately, it wasn’t lengthy earlier than Tender turned much less about strangers honking one another’s pud, and extra about nihilism, hobbies together with demonology and standing updates about consuming cats.
As far as I can inform, there’s at present no solution to truly talk with or in any other case progress a relationship with one other attractive/bloodthirsty soul, outdoors of with the ability to select canned traces approving of their statuses, however that this can be a) clearly an alternate actuality game and b) is tagged beta and talks about new options coming quickly, Satan solely is aware of what it’s bought in retailer for us.
Here’s my auto-generated profile description, after I picked pursuits together with board games and murderers:
Definitely, positively about boning, and nothing to do with videogames about more and more corrupted immortal souls, I’m certain you’ll agree.
I’ve carried out slightly burrowing into Tender’s supply code, and turned up just a few extra nuggets of observe. First, right here’s a video which performs when you’ve accomplished the preliminary spherical of profile-setting duties and some brief quizzes about e.g. Robert Plutchik’s emotional wheel.
You try to persuade me that, for one factor, it isn’t deeply sinister, and for one more that the closing music doesn’t positively scream vampires.
My digging additionally turned up point out of somebody named ‘Alice & Smith’ as being liable for a few of these movies. Who, whaddaya know, become a Canadian developer which specialises in ARGs, together with the John Walker-approved The Black Watchmen.
All this implies extra Vampire: The Masquerade, or I’ll eat my historical boxed copy of Bloodlines (if I could be bothered to dig it up from the attic). But what type will it take, who’s making it and once we will discover out extra? Also, when will I get a booty name from an nameless cat-eater?
