No, no new artwork this time, stay tuned for this, but some introduction
to the "First Father"
Adventure one is about Rudolf I, he was the first habsburg king.
And here i want to reveal the original text from 'The Book of Names':
(by Nick Macari, VEmpire Story-Writer...)
KINGS of Vempire
Rudolph I / The Babenburg Legacy 1237-1526
He is known among his loyal followers as the “First Father”. Though the dark lineage of the Habsburg dynasty predates Rudolph by at least two centuries, the First Father overthrew the Bohemian King Ottokar solidifying Habsburg’s power and place in history.
Claiming a pure blood-bond to the originators of the house, court traditionalists (and many on the elder council of vampyrs) accredit Rudolph as the progenitor of the dynasty.
With many of the records of the 13th century lost to time, I have been unable to confirm or deny such boasts. Though it is without question, Rudolph is indeed one of the oldest documented vampyrs. In truth, beyond this I know very little of him.
Unlike the other undead returned to claim their dynasty of old, Rudolph remains far from prying eyes. It is rumored even those summoned to his cause rarely gain direct audience to the First Father. An ancient king who moves to rebuild his empire from afar… manipulating those around him from the shadows, as a master tactician plays a game of chess.
—Jakob, The Chronicler ‘Book of Names
What will come!
Hi folks!
We do not have a complete roadmap yet, anyway i can already give you a rough plan:
1. Async-Mode
This is a hard one because technically not easy and as you've heard our technical lead is gone, this will be a true challenge, but we will hang in there...
2. "Adventures of The Kings..."
Yes you read right! It will come...
Each king can fight through his "version" of the habsburg empire. A lot of honor and additional, new cards will be there for you...
The plan is to start with one adventure and give it to you before we move on.
- Artists are already working on the adventure assets.
We are looking forward to giving you a demo for the async-mode pretty soon!
stay tuned, wolf....
Finally: VEmpire development continues !!!
Hi folks, true VEmpire lovers!
I am very happy to announce that we have formed a new team for further development.
But step by step...
What has happened?
After VEmpire has not made enough sales in Early Access, the team was disappointed and we did not have enough money for further continous development.
Even more sad: our main developer started into another project...
Anyway, beside a lot of stress going on around myself (job, family...)
i've managed to bring up a new, small but very engaged team for further
development towards the full release of the game.
We have plenty of new ideas, and within the next week i will reveal what will come up next.
Here you can see how VEmpire really compete against the "hyped" games that gets 5 stars on all big review sites (i guess they even share their content), just because they are so stupidly simple that the reviewers do not have to care about if there is more behind, though there is not anyway most of the time and even if they are good, the replay-value is... you know what i mean...
cheers wolf...
Async-Multiplayer is coming!
Hi folks!
We are currently busy on implementing async-multiplayer!
Please throw in your whishes and expectations about this, because
we are very "unskilled" in this topic!
Any suggestions are very welcome!
cheers, wolf!
VEmpire released on iOS - FINALLY!
Hi folks!
This is a big day for us!
I do not know whether you care or not, in fact gaming today is also happening on mobile devices!
The iOS devices, especially the iPad, was one of the reasons for starting this game 4 years ago!
It is just so smooth and easy, you know what i mean if you've played a deckbuilder with real cards!
ATM I am just very tired, but i would love if some of you join on the iOS also!
I know most of you have androids, yes it is also in the pipeline, just a little more patience!
Thanks guys for all your support, happy to have you, without you all this would not have been possible!
Main things:
- Power-attack cards, 2 per class! (3 different types!)
- Crowns in Rankings (10/50/100) - more is coming here!
- Cards and most graphics are newly rendered, because there have been complains about being too dark!
looking forward to your thoughts, and as always:
cry "alarm" if something is wrong!
cheers, wolf ... and
much love to all of you and your beloved and have a peaceful 1.Advent!
Exciting days in front of us!
Hi guys!
The following days will be exciting:
The iOS release will be this or next week!
=> Yes Android comes close afterwards!
A new update will come:
=> Crowns for Ranking-Points (Bronze(10), Silver(50), Gold(100))!
=> Addition for Attack-Cards, 2 in every class become Power-Attack cards!
- this connects the power of attack cards to:
- amount of completed groups
- amount of locations in your empire
- amount of acquired cards (within this turn)
=> All cards are new rendered, 20% more brightness
Looking forward to your oppinion!
cheers, wolf!
Update is up! Music is back!
Thanks to Patbook!
Update is up, music is back, ugly borders on textboxes are gone!
As always: Alarm me if something is wrong!
cheers, wolf...
Clarification with White-Wolf Publishing!
Hi folks!
Today I have mailed with the CEO from White-Wolf Publishing!
The guy is a very kind person, and I am very happy about this, so we are optimistic to solve this in a friendly agreement!
The thing with this "symbols", all from the mentioned Photoshop-BrushSet are their property!
Anyway we've removed all of them from the game already, the screenshots are also new and cleaned from them!
The next thing is the video(s) this one is harder, one I've taken down, the other one we will maybe make new, but this will take some time!
Please give me your opinion about the new PowerCard-Symbols!
- like them
- hate them
What do you say about the "Sum-up" of the mercenaries, it comes from mobile, because of limited space, but I like it on desktop too..
