The Autumn People

A proof of concept project built for the 2021 Vampire the Masquerade game jam. This is meant to showcase setting, story, gameplay, characters... pretty much a little of everything!

This is a snippet of time out of a much larger story spanning centuries where the player takes control of one of 3 characters at various points in the story. For this proof of concept, the player takes control of Florence in modern downtown Phoenix, sent on a job to find a man named Gideon and bring him in. Of course, like any good game of VTM, things don't go as planned.

Big o'l CONTENT WARNING inside this game, violence and cursing and potential self harm if using a specific discipline on an enemy.

This is based on scenarios and stories by my good friends Christopher Turco and Matthew Gibbons with whom I play VTM tabletop and who expanded my WOD experiences past VTM: Bloodlines, thanks so much for all the good times.

This was built in a month, and as such, there are many many things wrong with it, but it was a blast to make! Here are some of the known issues, feel free to comment and leave more that you find, I'm always looking to tighten things up.

AI needs a BIG pass, so I'm sorry that they won't be very fun to fight against...

Known Issues:

• MANY gaps in geo
• Poor design around staircases REALLY BAD (will be fixed ASAP)
• Looking down can put own characters head through wall
• Missing textures on props in upper areas
• MP5 pickup prompt doesn't show up but can still be picked up initially
• Terminal Decree Discipline missing it's targeting visuals making it hard to use
• AI has trouble locating sounds and chasing player/turning toward player
• AI not animating properly in many cases
• AI combat voice lines not playing at all
• Weapon swapping while leaning acts super funky
