Transformation Games

[Beebimbap]

If I game were to appeal to transformation enthusiasts, how do you think TF should be incorporated into it? As the goal, as a 'game over', as happening to a player character or something you do to others? That sort of thing - I'm interested to know what you all think.

I've always wanted more werewolves in more games. Sadly the sheer awesomness that could ensue has gone untapped.

A board game? A card game? A simulation game (like D&D)? A computer game? (and what kind)

Perhaps if transformation was the goal of the game then players could collect something (magic, mojo, knowledge, something else) until they get enough to effect a transformation. Maybe to get past certain "gateways" in the game the player would need to transform into something else--then once past they could collect more mojo (or whatever) so that transformation would be easier next time. Perhaps start with "easy" transformations, such as into a primate about the same size. Then progress to harder transformations (radically different species, or different sizes). The hardest transformations could be into non-animals or into mythical animals. Ultimately one could transform into a giant dragon or something equally impressive.

there is one ps2 game called primal in where the character (girl) changes to various forms and its on the gameplay area where she needs the abilities of her new forms to pass certain obstacles in the game, as well as strenghts and weaknesses for certain bosses

If I could make a game, there would be two things in it. Werewolf main character, and bloody disgusting revenge. This could of course be followed by betrayal of friends and family via viral outbreak.

There is a website dedicated to just such a concept. It's called the Transformation Gaming Workshop. The people there are helpful and they'll be able to direct you to the kind of resources you need to make these kinds of games. I should know. I'm not just a moderator of the TFGW, I'm also a member!

I'd prefer it if site owners didn't directly promote their sites here. (TFC hosted users are excluded) After all, I don't go around posting how great TFC is If you'd like to setup links between our sites let me know, I'd be more than willing. You can email me at: admin (@ t)tfcentral.com

[ScottyDM]

True... but it is on topic, at least. Imagine a world where all the link spam was on topic. Paradise!

Perhaps it's the, "This is insanely great!" tone of the post. It reminds me of what someone once said about business names: "If they gotta put it in the name, it isn't so." Thus, "Speedy Printing" takes too long, "Discount Cleaners" charges too much, etc.

I felt a bit like a prick when I posted that message, but yes.. it was on topic. I wouldn't have posted it so vehemently if I didn't know it would be exactly what beebi was looking for. I may not be a site owner, but I'm one of the major mods of it, so I like to see new faces around; especially ones who might actually contribute to the site with game ideas.

That being said, Yeah..

I would do an RPG where at the beginning you are cursed, and over the course of the game you are trying to find a cure while slowly changing into a [Insert Fave Critter here].

And the end boss would be a really hot chick, in a bathing suit all wet from a swim, yeah.
