it's the one with werewolves!

the demo and blurb that appeared on the poll:

post-apocalyptic werewolf detective

you'd play as a human in a town that's collapsed after a werewolf outbreak. werewolfs run the town now. this would be pretty bloodborne inspired, in that it's kinda gothic horror. the primary mechanics would be going around and talking to people to get information -- but also asking the wrong kind of questions to the wrong kind of people would raise some heat meters and make trouble for you.

the first chunk of content i'd write would be a fairly basic content demo where you're going around, trying to find out the identity or hiding place of a certain masked hunter who's been killing off werewolves.

this has a contentless proof-of-concept tech demo of the dialog system: http://tzaphiriron.sidemoon.net/static/text/wolf4.html

in terms of sexual content, this game would have: a whole lot of sex with werewolves, humans, partially-transformed humans, and other assorted monster beasts. very little transformation, since it's not actually "get bit and turn into a werewolf" rules.

i've been following the poll and since it appeared pretty likely this one would win, i've been picking at it a bit and fleshing out some of the other aspects of its design, since it's not just gonna be dialog into dialog into dialog.

there's an updated demo / mechanics test here: http://tzaphiriron.sidemoon.net/static/text/wolf5.html if you wanna check that out; there's still minimal content but it gives a better idea of what the game might actually be like, i think.

so time to get to work on this! the release schedule for the next two months will be as follows:

march 1st: demo release at the $7 tier for whatever i've written by that point
sometime in mid-to-late march: $4 post about the options on the next poll, which will be different directions to extend this game (more npcs, more story content, etc. obviously options tbd depending on how much progress i make in this initial stretch)
april 1st: public release of the march 1st demo; new demo release at the $7 tier for whatever i've written by that point; new $1 poll for further development direction

depending on how writing goes, there might be additional $4-tier posts before that, but no promises.
