From the author of A Dogs Life, A Dragons Life, and Warriors: A Darkness Within, comes the Wolf Pack Series!
Born silver to dark pelted parents, you are considered cursed and cast out, along with your littermates, to another pack. You must survive as an Omega in your new pack, alongside one of your brothers, under a cruel Alpha and Betas.
But then one day you witness something that will change your views of your new pack and make you question everything about them. Will you survive as Omega? And as Omega, will you find out the truth of what happened and rat out your packmate? Or will you keep quiet until something else happens? Survive, learn, attempt to rise, and adapt yourself or change your pack.
Play as Omega, and train for your potential rank
Learn the truth behind why you are considered cursed
Own language, includes a terms page (& rank sub-page)
Mate choices available (but they ask you, you cannot ask them)
Dangerous territory and packmates
Witness a terrible event & either learn the truth behind it or ignore it.
Learn the truth and expose your packmates crimes
Ignore it and just continue your life alongside the pack

Yes, I am aware I have multiple games, but due to issues with my previous laptop I can no longer access any of those files (except what I have uploaded to Dashingdon). This game is actually older than A Dogs Life, but never written down formally. A friend is loaning me their laptop while I save up money to get mine fixed, so that I can have something to work on. While this game is a very serious, completely devoted to working on it and getting it published, if I can find a way to work on A Dogs Life I will work on both at the same time (both have the same writing style, similar stats, and are referenced to each other in a few parts though they are in completely different times).
I am also aware that a few years ago I posted about this game under a different account (which I admit I completely forgot I had) under the name hextala, but I cannot access that account, which doesnt both me as my current account has all my posted WIP by this point.
I like what you have so far and looking forward to more. I am also glad to hear that A Dogās Life isnāt dead. I wish you good writing and inspiration.
More choices into the first day of your new pack
Meet your fellow pups
Meet the elders (note only āTell me about the packā is done, rest of the choices are unfinished)
Names actually cant be chosen in this game, unlike my others. Names are given by your packmates, to respect who you are.
Names will depend on your rank (Guard, Hunter, Tracker, Den-parent, or Omega) & reflect your looks, skills or personality.
Granted u end up as Omega regardless, u still get to train for the rank u want (so Omega Hunter, Omega Guard, Omega Den-parent, or Omega Tracker)
really makes you think about how to adapt to them & either accept the direction they go or how to change them back (like fighting your own personality)
Will work some more on the upcoming pre-cria scene today
Also, about the Cria:
Separate scenes for each part
Fighting
Tracking & Hunting
Lore
Self-reliance/survival
Alphas Decision
Determines your rank
Higher fight skill leads to guards
Higher hunt &/or tracking skill leads to hunt guards
Higher lore & high relationship with guard leader leads to pack guard
Iām confused by this. The alpha banishes the mother because he discovers the pups are his? Wolves donāt have sex for pleasure, they do it to reproduce, so this would not be news to him. So unless heās just a major ass who mated with her knowing sheād be banished, this makes no sense.
Not everything in the game is based on reality. If it were, I would not be writing it at all.
It gives a reason for the character growing up in one of the most cruel packs (that isnt ājust becauseā), not to mention theres the fact that the MC is a sevit, which in itself is enough to get them banished to a new pack, & it gives a bit more to the character than just being born under a lie.
The main issue with the false pups though is the fact that Cinder lied. She couldāve told Moon Alpha about the pups being his as soon as she got back, or when they were born, but she lied and claimed another wolf sired them. Lying to an Alpha can be considered treason in this universe.
ā¦right. I feel like that breaks immersion a little bit then. Why not have the already exiled(?) wolf be the one to sire them? That way the mother would still be shamed and it doesnāt seem like the alpha wolf is picking up chicks at the den. Also the way it is now, heās more pissed about it than his mate isā¦ none of this makes sense.
Edit: I know they need human characteristics to make them more relatable, but they still need the fundamental things that make them wolves. Basically wolves mate for life like us, but they donāt sleep around and have one night stands. Thatās just not how it works.
I said she lied about who the father was. That means that the wolf she said sired them DOESNT EXIST. That Moon Alpha is the father. & she lied to his face, in front of the entire pack. Causing him to make her the packs lowest Omega. While his new mate, who is heavy with pups (& itās written in there), is there.
This is a game, not a documentary. They are still wolves. They still have most of the characteristics of real wolves. But to make this a FANTASY game, it has to be changed.
I know how wolf packs work, Iām aware that theres a lot of humanistic tendencies in my game that are not at all consistent with how real wolves work. But again. Itās a fantasy game, not a documentary.
Edit: are you even aware that this was a fantasy game from the start? Iām sorry to be blunt, but I really feel like you have not really read the game, at all, like you are expecting it to be completely realistic or something.
Iām not trying to cause problems, and yes I know this is not āWolf Simulatorā. Iām so stuck on this one point because it is a huge outlier in an otherwise believable take on wolf hierarchy. For me itās sort of stuck in this āuncanny valleyā type situation. They speak and express themselves like people, but theyāre not quite human enough in both personal and social aspects to act āhumanā. Idk, I feel like Iām derailing the topic but thatās not my intent.
