A world where men and women carry magic in their blood, and spilling it can unleash terrible power

Thanks to Hugh for the heads-up; you can check it out over at BloodSpell.com.

Here’s some blurb from their site to whet your appetite before I go and investigate with my scifi magnifying glass (actually, I might have to switch to fantasy mode).

It is a story of a world where men and women carry magic in their blood, and spilling it can unleash terrible power.

Where these “Blooded” hide in fetid slums from the Church of the Angels, commanded by their divine masters to “cleanse” the Blood Magic.

Where choices are fraught, alliances rarely safe, and blood is all.

A young monk named Jered flees the Church when his own Blood Magic is released. Now he must survive the pursuit of the Church, the gladiatorial pits of the Blooded underground, and the hidden truths of the ancient struggle. The choices he makes will tip the balance of the war between Church and Blooded, and change his world forever.

Mixing a vivid world with fast-paced action and punk attitude, we think BloodSpell will be like no film you’ve ever seen.

It is made using the game Neverwinter Nights, and is written and directed by Machinima pioneer Hugh Hancock.

I have to admit this looks very intriguing and the press notice they’ve been getting is pretty spot on.

But do computers ever get facial expressions and body movement believable?

Now.. where’s my fantasy and scifi magnifying glass?
