Crimson Moon - Free Online Vampire vs Werewolf Game

New Update System

If you're reading this message this you've noticed that the update system has changed quite a bit. I've decided for updates to move to 3rd party sites.

There are several reasons for doing this.
1. SEO optimization by having this information listed publically.
2. Since these are 3rd party sites and most would be looking to updates if the site was down. It doesn't do much good to post updates on the site that is down in that rare occurance.

I've actually put 2 new updates areas and will use 2 different 3rd party sites very differently. This blog feed will list what everyone would refer to as the old updates I would post. These are not as often and usually occur more with major releases, game changes, or news. However, I plan on changing this more.

The Twitter feed is going to be what I am calling Quick Game Updates. These are anything and everything I change on the game which is perfect for Twitter and it's low character posts. I've implemented a Twitter Feed on the Welcome Page showing the latest 10 tweets.

Note that on this blog anyone can make comments on updates and I encourage you to do so.

Late Night Changes

A couple changes have been made and are as follows.

- If staying at the Inn, you can no longer be Plasma Drained. If you can't fight it only makes sense that a drain can not take place.

- A bug in the mine system was fixed that would allow the mine hp to go into the negative causing you to earn negative amounts.

-The Melania Pub has been re-skinned to mesh with the game layout and and the side ads have been removed.

- A bug was fixed in the chat where players would sometimes show up as Lurking and Chatting at the same time.

Don't forget....Halloween is fast approaching and we'll be doing something again to celebrate your Trick or Treat this year. Read More

Rise of the Ancients

For too long have the Ancients of Melania sat dormant. Tonight the weight has been lifted and those who hovered at level 32,767 have now found it possible to continue their journey forward.

As one would expect this new journey forward will be more difficult but with time and patience anyone could become the highest level creature in all Melania.

Take care to watch your step..as more player climb higher more challenges are likely to come forward.

The Dark Forest in the Outer Area begins to awaken and will soon welcome those brave enough or foolish enough to enter.

Shocking news of the impostor in the Mythical Creatures going by BigD has surfaced. Outraged by this Delvagan himself will enter the arena bringing an army of creatures at his disposal. You didn't really think you could best Delvagan did you?

Change is coming...... Read More

Friendlist, Clan Chat, and Rate Profile Author: Delvagan

Friendlist: A bug in IE has been fixed that was not allowing players to use the check boxes to delete players from their list. In order to implement this change some redesign of the friendlist had to take place. When you arrive on the friendlist you're in view mode which gives you options for your friends. There is a new link towards the top to put the list into edit mode. Once in edit mode the options will vanish and will be replaced with check boxes that you can then check and click the button to delete those players. While all other browsers worked fine with both features on the same page, IE was being picky so this was the way around it.

Clan Chat: A bug on the My Clan page was showing all players in any Clan Chat rather than those just in your Clan Chat. This has been corrected and it now shows only those in your clan currently chatting.

Rate Profile: In the past you would rate a profile only once and then it would not let you rate the profile ever again. This has been changed where you can actually change what rating you gave a profile. You are only allowed to update a profile rating once per day. Profiles are always changing and so should the ability to rate them.

I'm currently working on getting the ability to ship CM prizes direct from CafePress to your house which should give players more options as to what they wish to win from the store.

I've also not forgotten about the battle script or uncapping the levels and these are still a work in progress.

Battle Script

Work on the new battle script has been a little slow while we await some new formulas. Rest assured we hope to have an all new version of the battle script up very soon.

We are also working on some new additions and fixing some old areas of the game. Read More

Busy…Free Time Coming

The last few weeks have been crazy around here. The usual beginning of the year things have kept me tied up but I have some free time coming to continue working on other areas of the game.

As well I'd still like some suggestions on accomplishments you'd like to see.

We are also still in the process of ordering new game merchandise with new logos.

More to come! Read More

A New Year in CM

As the new year begins we'll be spending some time behind the scenes gearing up for another great year at CM!

We've committed to a rather hefty advertising budget this year in hopes of continued growth for the site.

Keep spreading the word about CM wherever you can!

A break down of some things currently on tap for this year.

1. Finish Stock Market - Currently underway and am working out the details of how this will interact with the economy etc.

2. Finish The Covens - Layout coding has been completed and am currently working on formulas and abilities and how they will all play into the new victim system.

3. Look at Level Cap - Currently looking at the best way to increase the cap and make it much harder to level after passing the current cap. Am looking at several options here.

4. Looking at making marriage play into the game somehow via some bonus for those that are married.

5. Battle Script - Currently looking at a rewrite of the script to scale better with the rather large amount of stats some players have.

6. New Character Pictures - Looking into more artwork being available for characters pictures shown in the profile for VIP members and also perhaps as rewards.

7. A nice new feature that will take some time that I"m extremely excited about and feel will great increase the competition in the game. More on that as I make some progress.

Santa Claws

After a few complaints were filed with the supreme vampire (myself) I had a visit with that sneaky Santa Claws and he has repented from his wicked ways.

The way he did business was to allow everyone a chance to either pick from his satchel of regular gifts or give up that chance to pick from his special bag in hopes of getting a really nice present at the risk of losing something precious like stats etc.

In keeping with the holiday theme of giving he no longer is doing this and instead is giving everyone 2 chances to win a gift this year.

Each player will get once chance to pull from each of his satchels. So everyone will get a regular gift and if you so choose you can also try for the special gift knowing you could and mostly will lose something in hopes of the rare gift.

Now those that already chose a gift won't get to do it again but you'll still get your chance in the other satchel if you choose.

For example if you chose a regular gift you can still risk it in the special satchel.

If you chose from the special satchel hurry and claim your guaranteed regular gift before it ends at 12am game time on the day after Christmas which is Friday.

Gearing up for the Holidays

Getting ready to make the runs over the next few days so I probably won't be around much. If anyone has seen Four Christmases that came out this year it describes my Christmas perfectly. We usually have about 5 stops to make.

Who knew Christmas could wear you out:)

I hope everyone has a very safe and MERRY Christmas in 2008!

Crimson Moon now being found at a search engine near you!

I've been doing to work on how Crimson Moon appears in the search results of various sites. Some issues were keeping the game from being shown at all and that has now been fixed.

Excitingly we are now showing up in either the 1st or 2nd page when the right keywords are searched for pertaining to the game.

This should help increase the game player base and presence on the web.

Keep spreading the word! Read More
