Vampires Quest (working title)

[thewalrus]

     Congrats on continuing your work on this awesome looking game! I have no doubt in my mind that you will finish it (why waste all the hard work you put in to it already???) The concept sounds quite original and I love the graphics.... Best of luck!!!!

Looks very cool.

I think if you were to go in real time (as far as blood decreasing goes) it would ruin the sense of it being an adventure game, where you unlock new things as you progress. It would also remind me too much of the game Soul Reaver- which was fun, but often frustrating in a repetitive way.

Looks nice so far, even if I am more partial to pixel art graphics.

I'm glad this is coming along, and I'm very pleased you're enjoying it. I feel compelled to point out that the title needs an apostrophe. It should be, "A Vampire's Quest".

I hope you don't mind me pointing that out!

[Josh R]

Certainly not. 
I'm actually still trying to figure out what the real title will be, but hopefully it will be grammatically correct.

Also, I definitely don't plan to implement any real time blood thirst or anything. It will just be progressive as I mentioned before.

Anyhow, thanks for the comments. I'll update with some new info/screens pretty soon.

 :o
honestly i think you are doing a great job with your project, and i encourage you to keep up the good work. however, you are going to have to rethink your title to your game. please let me explalin.

i do not want to deter your honest work, however i am the owner of vampires quest at www.vampiresquest.com

i am also the holder of patent, trademark and copywrite of that game, and respectively the game name vampires quest and online turn based vampire games.

i see below that you are still trying to figure out what the real title of your game will be, and i hope that you pick something fitting to the theme. if it were not for budding game artists and coders online gaming would not exist, so cudos to you!

keep up the good work, and good luck to you -

according to the whois for that domain it was registered in July 2006, this game was first announced in 2005, i'm no law expert but it seems to me he was using the name first and would probably be entitled to use the name provided he includes a disclaimer saying that the game has no affiliation with your site.
he could also stick an apostraphe in the name making it Vampire's Quest.
do you actually hold the patent and whatnot for the name, the game, the name AND game and ALL turnbased online vampire games, or did you just stick (c) or TM at the end of the name thinking that was all you needed to do?

[Hammerite]

why not just have a different name like just 'Vampire'.
The 'Quest' is pretty much useless.

[ManicMatt]

Let me rephrase Hammerite, as he is as blunt as his name suggests.

Y'know, a hammer.

I think what he means is that it's A)Obvious a quest of some kind will be involved and B)"Quest" is an overused and now cheesy title, and conjures up memories of old Sierra games.
