- CHANGES IN VERSION 2.0
-
- 1) The title screen has been improved! Wow! I didn't think that was
- possible!
-
- 2) Our talented graphic artist touched up on some of the icons. The game
- looks much better now! Good job, Brian!
-
- 3) It has been brought to my attention that the (O)ld Game command is kinda
- flaky. For example, if you die and end up in Heaven, reloading the old
- game would still leave you with a winged character. The players statistics
- are not updated either. These problems have been fixed.
-
- 4) If you are running Vampyr from your 3 1/2" drive B, then I guess you've
- noticed that the game always seems to check for files in drive A. Well,
- never again! If you want to run from drive B, so be it!
-
- 5) We really screwed up on combat with the monsters running away. Everything
- is fixed now. Those annoying thieves are as good as dead.
-
- 6) Have you ever noticed that you can never hit things that are on the edge
- of the battlefield with a missile? Well, again, we messed up. Forgive us.
-
- 7) The lightning bolt problem has been fixed. If you know what I am talking
- about, good. If not, don't worry about it. It's too embarrassing.
-
- 8) A new command! (CTRL-I) Check it out!
-
- 9) The keyboard buffer is flushed in a couple of places by request. You won't
- get nearly as many bothersome "overflows" now. Write to us if there are
- any other special places where you want the buffer flushed.
-
- 10) Your weapons should last longer now. I guess breaking something every
- couple of battles WAS a BIT harsh... oh well. Just trying to make it
- realistic.
-
- 11) Imagine my surprise when I found out that the king wouldn't admit you've
- solved mission #5! Geez! What a retarded king! I have taught him a
- lesson and he should behave himself from now on.
-
- 12) The Enemy Disintegration spell was going haywire. All the dead should
- disappear properly now instead of hanging around.
-
- 13) The "Judging" was a bit messed up. It seems to go into a recursive loop
- sometimes. Well, I guess the Gods should spend more time squashing bugs
- than frying people.
-
- 14) We really must apologize for this one. Have you ever noticed how your
- skill points seem to mysteriously disappear? A very very big mistake
- on our part. Oh well. I guess good games have to be frustrating
- sometimes, huh?
-
-
- Special thanks to Ken Humrich for locating most of these problems for us.
- Ken also helped with the beta-testing of this new version. Thanks, dude!

- VIC AND BRIAN SAY...
-
- When version 1.1 was release in the middle of October, many people complained
- that they didn't know what to do and how to play the game. Well, you see, the
- reason why we are not providing you with the document is that we want you to
- contribute a minimal amount of money for our efforts. Believe me... you can
- find answers to every single one of your questions in the 30-page document.
- Of course you can live without it; Vampyr is not all that hard to figure out.
- But if you really enjoy this game, do us a favor and give the public domain
- concept a push. Just think of the fact that you are helping two very
- intelligent <ahem> to-be-doctor and engineer to go to college. It's a great
- cause! (By the way, Vic is going to University of Virginia. Alumni, you
- know what to do.)
-
- The hint book can also help in a big way. It contains almost all the maps and
- just enough hints to get you going on all the missions. Vampyr has many
- secrets built into it; there are at least two subtle ones that I don't think
- anyone has figured out yet. Solving these two "secrets" can be incredibly
- helpful to even the most powerful characters. Well, if you haven't found them
- yet, or simply don't know what I am talking about, order the hint book and be
- enlightened.
-
- (By the way, does anyone know if there's a way to do subliminal messages on
- the computer? If not, then just imagine this screen fading in and out with
- 1/60th-of-a-second intevals. in and out... in and out...)
-
- In any case, If you have a comment or suggestion and have no money, write to
- us anyway! We don't mind! (Well...) We'd love to do some more
- bugs-squashing!
-
- Well, that's it for now. Enjoy yourselves.
-
-
- P.S. For ordering information, please use CTRL-I during the game and read
- VAMPYR.DOC on disk 1.
-
- P.P.S. Kids, you don't have to consult your parents before sending in the
- money!!!
-
- And a final note: DON'T do drugs, DON'T drink and drive, and NEVER EVER let
- them see you sweat...
