This game looks promising, and I can't wait to play it. The art alone is phenomenal.
I'm a huge vampire fan, to the point of making a large Morrowind mod myself (almost 80 quests, but I'm not posting any links or names here, as advertising isn't my goal, I gave this info, because I'm asking your for a specific permission).
Do you mind if I list your nickname as a source of inspiration (I swear I won't copy or plagiarize anything from your game, cross my heart and hope to die), you know, in the same way people list classical vampire games Castlevania, VTM, and even movies like Underworld, Fright Night, etc. as their source of inspiration?
So, it would be just that: listing you in the "thank you" section, as a source of inspiration? I do it a lot with other works, and I find it cool, because ppl can actually go and enjoy these games/movies and maybe feel compelled to do something themselves.
