Another few months have passed and another character profile for the next edition of the mod is ready to keep your fangs watering for the next edition of Clan Quest Mod!
The Mack
Clan: Lasombra
Quote: " You’re probably like most people, ain’t you, pal? You’ve got certain desires, fantasies … things you wouldn’t want your wifey or girlfriend to know about. Maybe things the police can’t know about. The Mack isn’t going to look too closely at what gets you hot and bothered. But as long as you got the money … you’ll always leave satisfied. "
Background: The Mack, a flesh peddler in East LA, is part of a nomadic pack, briefly stopping over in town to re-group. This mysterious figure keeps himself as far removed from the city's politics as possible, instead spending his nights chasing material wealth.
Progress Report
Maps/Environment: 95%
Not much movement, here, but not much left to be done, either.
Writing/Dialog: 98%
This is all but done! Mostly all that's left is new work I've created for myself, and some of the Malkavian lines.
Programming/Cut Scenes: 85%
The new story involves the interaction between NPCs a bit more, so there's quite a few new cut scenes. Finally starting to put a dent in those.
Voice: 90%
A lot of work has gone into moving this forward. Virtually all the dialog is recorded now, so it's just a matter of animating it all!
Models: 65%
Still looking for help on this front, still appealing to any fans that have modelling experience and have interest in learning how to do it for Vampire, and to help with the project, to contact me. I have tried to do this myself, and have gotten far enough to understand the process behind making new character models, but sorely lacking the ability to do it with any proficiency. This does lend itself to me being able to help any interested artists getting setup and going.
There's always more news to come, so stay tuned here on Moddb or by following me on Twitter. You can also watch my channel on YouTube where I occasionally drop some hints about what's to come in the next edition of the mod. Right now I'm slogging through Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption in a hilariously painful to watch Let's Play series.
And as always a big thank to Anchefanamon for her character concept art; and thanks to Sebastian Baar for lending his voice to The Mack
Clan: Lasombra? So there will be more than 7 playable clans?
P.S. Good that you mentioned about your YouTube channel, I'm a subscriber now.
Not quite! The Mack is of Lasombra, but the player is of one of the 7 Camarilla clans.
Always glad to have a few follower! =)
Hi, what kind of modelling skills are you looking for?
I might know someone (it's a big "might", but trying won't hurt. Where can they contact you?
Basically someone that's comfortable using Blender, and additionally, using an out-dated version with some very large limitations on what they're able to do with it. It's a very "special" challenge =) These are the unfortunate restrictions that the Bloodlines engine imposes on creative hands.
Your friend can reach me here, preferably. Or PM me, and I can give you my email!
Those two girls like him already.

I wish we could get Standart-clan and Antitribu-clan versions of the mod. Seems like the only way to add other clans is to make two versions...
Haha, nice screen cap =p
Yea, because of limitations in the game files, it's extremely difficult to have more than the 7 Camarilla clans. Additionally, most of the story and dialog is written for a player that's of those 7 clans; it would be REALLY unusual for the Archbishop not to address the childe of some Lasombra antitribu, wanting back into the Sabbat, differently than he would someone that simply wants to defect from the Camarilla.
Have you considered asking around on PV for 3d modelers? I know there's a few aspiring ones around on there.
Great work by the way!
I haven't solicited any help there in awhile, though I did reach out to someone on there a few months ago about making some skins, but I never heard back =/
Looking good, can't wait to play it ;)
Thanks, the voice work is pretty spot on =)
Tell me if you need any more.
Good work
BURGERMEISTER! NEED YOUR ATTENTION!
There's a guy on planetvampire making new models.
His username is Xalter and he wants to help with CQM!
He's looking for you- Started his own thread displaying
his new models titled "New mod underway".
Please contact him as soon as possible!

Thanks for the note! We're in touch with each other now, so -- fingers crossed!
I was going to say that I was sorry that you couldn't find good help with the model-making, but it looks like that's off to a good start!
Question: Will Mercurio have anything to say regarding East LA?
Will we be able to participate in rites?
They are pretty important to the Sabbat, so you know, at least a couple =)
Yeeeeeees!
