Apex Predators (WIP) (On Hiatus)

Werewolves in this world actually generally don’t hunt humans if they can help it: unlike vampires, who actively need human blood to survive, werewolves are just humans who unfortunately transform every full moon! Most of them try to lock themselves away to keep from infecting other humans, so they’re more like mankind’s protectors than predators. (Which is why they’re often in conflict with vampires, though the two don’t instinctively hate each other like many depictions.)

Ooh I’ll have to check the Steam sale out, @resuri08! Thank you to you, @nulCat, @Djone1, and @Liza_P for your encouraging words and support! It means so much! :hugs:

@Djone1 “Callidora the Moonlit” (or whichever first name you chose) does sound pretty cool! I love the idea of walking into a Fay gathering and everyone is like, "Sup, Moonlit."

Can’t wait to hear the backstory (if you write one for all of them) for the nicknames also I just used my real first name both times lol (did not think there was going to be a second name XD)

There will also be a point in the game where you have to decide what your original birth name was: it can be the name you go by currently, or it can be something different that you’ve since discarded! XD And yes, I plan to have a small backstory for each nickname, but it will just be a few lines! :slight_smile:

Ooooooooh I love your idea and love this WIP. I’m into fun and silly games too lol. Everything shouldn’t be too serious. Looking forward to more.

There are so many possibilities, though! Edward Cullen, Anita Blake, Lestat de Lioncourt, Van Helsing… (Sometimes on replays of games I’ll name myself Poop Poop…)

@Hoang_Dieu Thank you so much! :smiley: And I agree, silliness can be very cathartic!

The premise is definitely interesting. I always wished there was the choice to be more of a benevolent super being in Choice of the Dragon, this has a somewhat similar concept to that idea, albeit very different in every other way. I don’t really like zombie apocalypse stories as a rule since they’ve been done to death for fourty years now and has basically devolved into something similar to modern military first person shooters and D&D style fantasy worlds, but this is a twist that has the potential to actually make it interesting again.

I kinda hope we can potentially end up getting Tracy as a member of our survivor community. Zombie apocalypse survivors always seem to be some sort of hardass, or a relative of a hardass. Having a character around who has the strength to kill zombies with their bare hands without worry about infection and needs other survivors as a sustainable source of sustenance though would make the survival of the ditsy party girl who always gets horribly killed early on as a matter of course far more plausible. XD

So, I’m obviously torn between Nick and Aleister because apparently your idea of fun is making me s u f f e r with indecision.

I’m also super interested in just learning more about Claire and Allen’s past relationship because haha, wow I’m not even sure how they would have even gotten together, so I need to hear that story.

I also can’t wait to see Olivia worship the ground Barry walks on. I’m going to imagine her as Tina from Bob’s Burgers and there’s nothing you can do to stop me!

And Dolly just sounds so sweet and delightful I already love her!

Basically, this just sounds like a super fun game! :smiley:

I love this idea. I’m super interested in this.

The idea of turning into a Wolf later is neat to me even as a Vampire.

Reminds me of some game I played when I was younger that had Werepyres and what not lol.

Oh, wow. This is one of those stories, I’ve never knew I needed. I mean zombies VS vampires? Lovely, just lovely.

What happens when a vampire takes a bite of a zombie (and the other way around)?

I believe it was mentioned you are immune to the disease so nothing other than maybe having your throat out and you biting them you rip their throat out?

@rinari - I enjoyed the intro … I’d actually enjoy the story before the story you are writing - I’m all zombied out. :woman_zombie:

A couple of questions: 1 - there are beaches in Arizona? I’ve been all over that state and I don’t think I ever encountered a beach there, not even near a lake-shore or such. :wink: Just having the concert at a beach in Arizona made me break immersion there - I’m most likely a minority but I thought I’d give you the feedback nevertheless.

2: Well, this one escaped into the nether - interruptions tend to mess with thoughts. I’ll post the second if I re-think it.

Good luck with your projects.

Do all titles have effects? And if they do can you list them please?

What kind of zombies will we be running into?

Also, with Shapefift, do we turn into a full-on Twilight Jacob clone or a humanoid lycan?

Bat, mosquito, tick, and other things that drain your blood. In all seriousness probably a big animal relative to your size.
