BLOODBOUND: THE SIEGE CHAPTER 3 NOW AVAILABLE

(with the disclaimer that just like the first two chapters, it is subject to change and should be viewed as a continuation of the demo, not an official release)

AVAILABLE ON ANDROID, MAC, AND PC. DOWNLOAD HERE.

happy new year! I hope your 2024 is off to a great start. my belated holiday gift to you all is a new demo chapter of Bloodbound: The Siege. I originally wanted to drop a revamped demo, but realized that for a lot of people, replaying the demo with new features wouldn't be all that fun, so I decided to drop a new chapter instead!

a couple of notes:

if you played it lives within, this works the same way (i hope lmao). in order to play the new chapter with your old save file, you need to still have that save file on the device you're using.

If one of your bug notes is that a character doesn't remember a previous interaction (i.e., anyone acting like this is the second time meeting you, not the third), this is because ren'py doesn't load new variables into your old gameplay. I'm not really sure how to explain it, but the issue will certainly be addressed by the time the full release rolls around.

This is kind of a test to see if you can redownload the game and pick up where you left off for future releases. if that doesn't work for you, please let me know--the more detail, the better.

I still haven't been able to crack additional GUI features (i.e., the closet, the dialogue "bounce"). Expect these with the full release.

It's still a work in progress, and like the first two chapters, is subject to change, but I hope y'all like it. Happy new year!

Oh my God! I just love so much that fans are making the sequel PB refuses to give us (like I lives within and Bloodbound). I haven't had the chance to read them yet, but they're sooo on my to do list. The people who are taking to time to contribute to the fandom in that way, investing their time just because they love those books deserve the world.

Thank you so much for your dedication @itlivesproject @bloodboundsiege

Me, playing the BB Siege demo 🩸

First, love the cover of the game. Red on gray background, very stylish. Nice color combo. I will post my play-throughs on my side-blog when the game finally gets released like It Lives Within and any other sequel game project game. So, this is my BB: The Siege Main Character. Her name is Amanda Crimson. Similar first name to the original BB Main Character, Amy. Actually the Main Character options were amazing that I had a hard time choosing between this face and the Hispanic face (+ other hairstyle then), but I decided to go with this, since I already have a lot female Hispanic Main Characters already chosen on the Choices Game App.

The playable demo can be found under @bloodboundsiege

I'm so happy just with this inclusion... I love Bloodbound with all my heart, and I remember being a little sad we couldn't choose a male MC for this one (Book 3 explains why, but still...) Being trans or genderfluid could've worked.

I also have a Trans Bloodbound OC, so I'm grateful to the fan developer @bloodboundsiege for adding this.

Attention Fans of Bloodbound!

There is a new fan production in the works under the name of Bloodbound: The Siege!

Reading the About section it looks like a spin-off/midquel of Bloodbound during Book 2 probably while the BB crew were in Europe and Gaius was wreaking havoc on New York. It also looks like you can choose which side you want! So you could be part of the resistance, the middle or side with Gaius! Plus it's Gender of Choice!

Bloodbound: The Siege (fan-made Bloodbound spinoff) demo is coming out in just a few days, and it inspired me to finish this modern Gaius edit I’ve had in my drafts for ages. Super excited for the project, @bloodboundsiege best of luck to you with the demo!

Though Vandus now slays Bloodbound with even greater efficiency, I am perturbed. There is a wildness to his strikes that I have never before seen in my friend. Yet still we need him here. We are not the only army set to receive reinforcements, and scouts bear reports of an even larger host three days’ march away. I pray this battle does not escalate into a siege before we can rout the foe before us. There’s a look about Vandus now that reminds me of my youth, the look of those who had grown old in the fighting pits, rendered cold and hollow by the ceaseless bloodshed.

Yeah tendency of Stormcast to lose themselves in the Reforging is really going to get addressed soon.

The beginning of these diary entries discusses a black tower some older Stormcast are kept.

..............

I suspect the 4ed Stormcast being "Ruination Chamber" being unleashed, those so far-gone that they are just sent out as pure engines of destruction.

TDSP WEEKEND UPDATE

Remember when we said we had a CG scene that had over 200 styles due to the different MC and LI? Well, we have some big news about that!

And it’s one of those “Good News, Bad News” situations.

The good news is that they will be shared with the fandom until further notice. The bad news is that it won’t be in the final game because it’s too much for the artist to do.

But have no fear! We said we have a CG scene as a replacement, and our artist is doing the final tweaks on the last one. Another thing The Captain allowed our artist to do was to create promo art scenes whenever they wish to do so. There were some great sketches for the (now official) final CG scene that the artist didn’t want to let go to waste. 

Our First Mate has drafted some mini battle scenes, and some of us will be doing editing over the weekend. As for Dirty 30s, we’ve decided to have them in a span of at least 4 chapters apart. As for how many chapters and how long they will be, we still don’t have an answer for that. 

AND NOW TO THE EXCITING FAN-MADE SEQUEL COMMUNITY NEWS!

We are very eager to play @bloodboundsiege‘s demo on March 30th at 5pm PST! Bloodhound: The Siege is a spin-off that takes place during the second book of Bloodbound where MC is a newly turned vampire navigating around Gaius’ regime...and yes, you can romance him and it’s GOC!

i really like your sequel poll. That's such a great idea. You could also do a poll of which upcoming sequel game project people are more excited about. @ nightboundfanfiction , @ bloodboundthesiege , @ thedistantshoresproject , @ Immortaldesiresproject , ... Or last poll option: ALL OF THEM 😀

Let's find out!

[rosepetals1]

Annora, Aurora, Arielle... Are most of your Choices Main Character their names start with the letter "A"?? Or coincedence here? Whatever, I find these names gorgeous. Especially the name Aurora and you know that already 🌹

Honestly, most of my Main Character I named (recently?) all share the first letter "A" too. This surprised me actually 😅😂😂 Take a look:

Alex Clarissa Fontaine (Nightbound)

Aurora (A Courtesan of Rome)

Amber Burke (It Lives Within)

Amanda Crimson (Bloodbound: Siege)

Astrid Nightbloom (BOLAS)

Except of Nightbound MC who wasn't recently named, but I use her the most soooooo... 👀😅🤫

Asgdhjfk noooo, I promise not all of my MC's names start with the letter A 🙈 I honestly didn't even notice until you pointed it out 😅

I just happen to like a lot of pretty names that start with the letter A, I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️ Whenever I'm searching for names for my MC's, that's the first letter that pops up, so I just go along with what I find

[ask-the-crimson-king]

😌 main go to theme song & 🙂 secondary theme song for magnus (although I'm curious for Kazakh too tbh)

[Muse theme song]

[Each have their own unique reasons, and some are less apparent than others. If you wish to know of them, they will be under the cut (plus I got into a bit of Kazakh’s lore too for the last one). If not, then there’s your answer, anon.

Magnus main theme – The Magician by Aether Realm

Kazakh main theme – Veil of Elysium by Kamelot

Magnus secondary theme – The Warlock’s Trail by Bloodbound

Kazakh secondary theme – Roads Untraveled by Linkin Park

The Magician - Aether Realm

No, this is not because of the title. Well, okay, a little bit because of the title. However, there are various other aspects of the song that strike me as being Magnus-esque. First of all, the lyrics. Notably among them; 

Stray not from the Path you’ve chosen,You may yet find what you seek.You will learn to command the Aethereal Realm,And fulfill your Destiny!Cast out of his Land for reachingFor that which lies out of Mortal Sight.Like a Beast he is feared and hunted,Like a Beast he intends to fight. […]Take hold of Strength divine,Shape the World to your Design,And release the Power you keep inside your Heart!

This has deep Magnus vibes for me, precisely about his discoveries and how he started investigating his powers connected to the Empyrean. Now, this is more of a song that I feel reflects a young, very naive and extremely arrogant Magnus who was eagerly learning all he could about the Great Ocean without heeding warnings about it. Plus a small bit about how he was kind of hated for being a psyker (among other things). Also, the last three lines I included I associate a bit with Magnus encouraging his sons to explore their powers, to not shy away from them.

Another thing about the Magician – this little bit right here;

I am the Light when a Life’s at its End,The still burning Candle when Darkness descends.I am Desire, Warmth from the Fire,Fueling your Steps when your Journey began.

I am the Fear twisting tight round your Throat,The Life giving Spark hiding deep in your Soul,I am your Aura, Hunger for Honor,I hold the Power you seek!

The meeting with Tzeentch. The pact to try and save his sons from the Flesh Change. That is what this reminds me of the most. Especially the ‘the Life giving Spark hiding deep in your Soul/I am your Aura, Hunger for Honor,/I hold the Power you seek’ – very Tzeentch-y to me, and something he would convey to a young primarch who wants to save his Legion. In addition to lyrics, instrumentally, this also just… fits. In ways that I can’t quite describe. It does have a bit of a mystical sort of feel to it throughout, from the intro to the guitars, to even the singing. 

Veil of Elysium - Kamelot

Alright. Why Kazakh? Why is this song about a brightly colored birb daemon who collects and hoards shiny things? And possesses knives. One – the chorus. From how the synth-symphonic bits swell, to how Tommy Karevik sings it. It sounds very grand, very loud, flashy, even. To me, anyway. The rest of the instrumentals sound a little more… subdued. Which is a part of Kazakh that isn’t often on display, due to many reasons but I won’t put them here.

Another is the whole theme of a sort of childlike innocence, of remembering good times while one weathers the bad. The lyrics don’t really fit Kazakh in any specific sense, save for:

One day I know we will meet again,In shade of a life to die for.Watching the world through the eyes of a child,In Elysium.Will I find you there?In the darkness of the shadow that comes over allDear friend, will I know you then?Will I know you then at all?

Why? Well… maybe the explanation for his secondary theme will help. But know that Kazakh is a bit more than just a brightly colored birb.

The Warlock’s Trail - Bloodbound

Okay, listen, it is NOT just because it has warlock in the name, this one actually is based on lyrical and instrumental content. 

Yes, I know, ‘oh but redundancy’, hush. Honestly any of these songs can change on a given day, and Wrong Side of Heaven by Five Finger Death Punch and Rise of the Dragon Empire also by Bloodbound were good contenders as well (although the latter is more of something I associate with all primarchs.) Citizen Zero by Kamelot is also a song I associate with Magnus at the Siege of the Fenris system but I already have Kamelot on here and I wanted to be variable with my bands.

If anyone reading wants an explanation of Citizen Zero or any of the other two, go ahead and send an ask.

The main reason why this song fits – The Burning of Prospero. Lyrics:

When we summon the legion of fire and flame,And open the portal of fear.When the quest is so long and the silence is all we hear…

In the mist of the morning a winters day,Came a man in robe from far away.Out of ashes and clay of the magic vale,Cause sorrow sail on the warlock’s trail.

The ritual leading up to Magnus projecting himself to Terra. The first three lines are more Legion-specific, what they were kind of going through, and then the chorus itself is Magnus emerging through the Webway. ‘Sorrow sail on the Warlock’s trail’ can be used for many things – that Prospero will burn, Magnus’ folly, and Horus’ betrayal. The other lyrics, notably the two verses, also work for the battle of Prospero. The first describing daemons and the gathering of the Host to Kill Magnus, the second more of the actual battle itself.

Sorcery, Enchanted by the spell,A stone is magical, Becoming like the gods,Elements,Gathering into the holy light,In life we burn!  

Magnus quickly doing the spell that unmakes his physical form and spirits his sons to Sortiarius. Plus the ‘in life we burn’, kind of the whole Thousand Sons are damned to being dust for eternity. So this can also work for the Rubric

Instrumentals – listen. Just listen to them. They work. That sort of cheesy, cherry sort of whimsy? The bridge with ‘sorcery’? It works. It is aesthetic to Magnus, even if it’s not the ‘I-fucked-everything-up’ Magnus. To me it works.

Roads Untraveled - Linkin Park

Okay. I hear you asking, ‘what sorcery is this?’ A Linkin Park song for a colorful daemon birb with kleptomania? Are you sure you don’t want to add another happy, cheery, cheesy power metal song? Something like that?

Yes.  I am sure.

One of the reasons why Kazakh exists, and one I haven’t really been able to touch on – he’s a companion for Magnus. Kind of like a familiar. An Emotional Service Bastard. Or Birdstard. Or Birbstard. 

That was the intent behind making him, initially. When I originally picked up Magnus as a muse, circa May 2018, pre-Tumblr, I knew that he was sort of a strong, stoic-ish character. As I learned more and more about him, I started to see that regret and sadness were beginning to leak in. Magnus was becoming a bit depressing.

So, to counter this, I made a brightly colored daemon birb to keep him company. Also, something to balance out Magnus, and something for others to have fun with while interacting.

A few people have picked up on the fact that Kazakh is a good companion, one who doesn’t mind being held or hugged when someone is feeling sad. And that is his original intention, he’s supposed to be like that. And yes, I did also originally make him hoard shinies. The knife thing was an addition that came on later, something I didn’t intend to make a mainstay for his character, but other people enjoyed it. I was having fun with it, so I kept it.

There’s the sort of meta-explanation. Now, with this all in mind, look at the lyrics:

Weep not for roads untraveled,Weep not for paths left lone.‘Cause beyond every bend is a long blinding end,It’s the worst kind of pain I’ve known.

Give up your heart left broken.And let that mistake pass on.'Cause the love that you lost, wasn’t worth what it cost,And in time you’ll be glad it’s gone. […]

Weep not for roads untraveled,Weep not for sights unseen.May your love never end and if you need a friend,There’s a seat here alongside me.  

It’s Kazakh speaking to Magnus. I have not yet penned down exactly how they first met, but this did factor into it.

Let’s just say Kazakh has been with Magnus for a pretty long while, and has seen him go through some… things.

So long as Tzeentch doesn’t obliterate him, he’ll be staying for a pretty long while too.]

Is it weird that I'm enjoying Gaius in more than his really out-of-place 17th-century clothing?

I always thought it was a metaphor for how he's stuck in his old ways of wanting to rule over mortals like a tyrannical king, but seeing him in different clothing is interesting.

Makes it seem like he's capable of change but doesn't want to.
