Vampires and Werewolves Badges and Buttons

For those who have been keeping up with the Shot In The Dark Mysteries blog for a while, you might remember last year when a tragic techno-accident caused me to lose all of my files dating back to 2006. That was EVERY game and design file in the history of my company.

It was very difficult, because I had a number of games in the works, and I’ve had to start all over again on a few of them. One of those was Vampires vs. Werewolves. The game was finished and I was waiting for the audio files to come back from the studio when the techno-tragedy occured.

Between Blastdoor Productions’ studio (the ones who do the mp3 mystery files for Shot In The Dark Mysteries’ instant-download party games), the emails I sent other developers and the work I had done on my portable devices I was able to recover most of the files from the games I was developing.

All, that is, except Vampires vs. Werewolves. I do a lot of pen-to-paper work when I’m writing though, and I tore apart the house to finding bits and scraps here and there. And with those bits and scraps and my memories of one of the largest games in our catalogue (not to mention one of my new faves), I was able to recreate Vampires vs. Werewolves.

WOOT!

It’s launching this week and I’m SOOOOO excited, not just because I’m launching another fantastic mystery party game, but also because I’ll be finished with it. I’ve written this massive game from scratch TWICE. But this version is even bigger and better than the one I lost, and I know you vampire, werewolf and Halloween enthusiasts willl love playing it and solving the mystery at your party this year.

In my post-game-production glee, I created some buttons. Take them, post them to your Facebook profile or whatever you like – my treat, just give a shout out to Shot In The Dark Mysteries wherever you use them for decoration.

Stay tuned later this week for the launch of Vampires and Werewolves – FINALLY!
