If you consider yourself somewhat of a game developer, you can now employ your skills to craft a semi-official World of Darkness game thanks to the new Unbound initiative. Unbound allows just about anyone to create a video game utilizing the 5th Edition of the Vampire: The Masquerade ruleset, provided they release their project exclusively on the itch.io storefront and deliver 33% of their profits to Paradox.
Here's a quick overview of this system:
Following the success of our Vampire Jam event, World of Darkness opens up to independent game developers with a new initiative – now, you can make your own Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition games and monetize them using itch.io!
Main perks
Make your dream Vampire game
Use Vampire: The Masquerade IP and create your own world within it. In Unbound, you are responsible for the game you want to create and its contents, as long as you adhere to our Licensing Agreement and itch.io rules.
Monetization
WoD Unbound developers retain up to 67% of monetized projects - you decide how much to pay the itch.io platform.
Join the community
Get more eyes on your game through Unbound library on itch.io, connect with other developers, get a chance to be featured on World of Darkness social media and streams!
Own your assets
Any assets from your game that do not use WoD IP elements are yours, and you are free to distribute them - think artbooks, soundtracks, asset store entries. For more details, see our Licensing Agreement below!
