The September streams were filled with lore, new designs, community guests, and one major reveal!! We learned a lot about Vampires from Mike, Jack and Xan in the Lore of the Dead stream. We learned about the various histories of vampirism across different cultures and where the inspirations for the Vampires of Deadhaus came from. Blood curses, viruses, silver, voodoo, rituals, death... Jack delves into the mythos and explains more about the Vampires we will come to know and love (and play as!). We learned that every Vampire of Malorum can be traced back to one single creature- the Red Lady. Bloodlines will be very important, and as Jack revealed, depending on which age you start with, there may be origin stories available to you only within that age. All the more reason to get a Supporter Pack and get in on the First Age...
James Macleod, the Art Director for Apocalypse Studios, gave us some awesome art tips in the Brushes with Death stream! We got to watch as James showed us his creative process and talked about all of his inspirations when creating his masterpieces. We watched as a plain sphere was sculpted into the beginning stages of the Draco-Liche right before our eyes! If you want to watch the master work his craft, don't miss out on this one!
In the Chains of Truth stream, we listened to CEO Denis Dyack talk about his own origin story and how he came to be the legendary game creator we know and love today. We also got to hear all about the founding of Apocalypse Studios!
We also had a full cast during the Community Scream Stream, starring our special guests Big_Haddy, Gilcan, and Horror_Historian! We covered their favorite classes and they fought their way through tough battle scenarios. We even had an extra special guest, Jericho the cat! Will his adorable face inspire you to join #TeamJericho? Or will the many-headed wight on #TeamHaddy steal your heart?
And finally, we had one BIG REVEAL on our Out of the Shadows stream! Denis announced that there will be a Combat Room Demo available before the end of 2021!! We'll get to play as everyone's favorite Vampire, Lord Zorin, and take out waves of our enemies from the Thacean Empire. If you'd like to help name the combat room, visit the forum here! We are currently asking you, the community, to pick your favorite name for this mysterious arena below Os Kurrox. If you have an idea you'd like to see on the ballot, it's not too late to throw your hat into the ring! Sign up for free in the forum and tell us what you want to see!
So join us every Wednesday for more streams like these for lore, art, design and always the possibility for more beans to be spilled! And don't forget, in the world of Malorum, our bell tolls for all...
