The next developer diary for Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Heart Of The Forest offers up a look at how the team is using their past to help build this Werewolf game
It is easy to know that Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Heart Of The Forest is going to be linked into the greater universe that the World Of Darkness has set up. It kind of feels like it has to be that way as of late with how media has been going as of late, but this one has a long history that Different Tales is fully respecting. It also looks like this Werewolf will have a few other things in common with other IPs out there too. Although, it will not be any kind of lore and story though. More to help quell concerns any might have with the team making the game.
As it turns out, we have some members from those of The Witcher and The Witcher 2 working on this adaptation of a different source to make something new. That is a bit of something to tout for the game in terms of making sure the story feels original but still is fully respectful of everything else in Werewolf: The Apocalypse too. It is something that Storytellers in the system need to do, but this is a little more outside of that normal scope. This just builds up even more that we should have a fun Werewolf story that fits in to all of the other IPs out there in some ways.
