Remnants of Prehistory - A Tribute to Durango: Wild Lands
The story follows - through survival logs written by them - the (mis)adventure of a group of friends who ended up having to survive in a harsh world filled with prehistoric animals, trying to regroup with each other and find the way home. Or at least, discover the truth about their fate.
Disclaimer: some of the characters, story elements, and all 'Durango Notes' are not mine, they were created by What! Studio, and/or Nexon, Korea, under a 2018 (or so) mobile game - now defunct, unfortunately - called Durango: Wild Lands. I really just started writing this in my free time as I've been inspired by the game's storyline and worldbuilding, then after a hiatus I came back to write and indulge in its lore archives, because I miss it. Could say it was the best MMORPG I've ever got to play, not just the best free, or best mobile, but best overall, it's really sad that it ended... Hope if the devs ever find my work by accident, they'll see it as a free ad for... Project DX/Durango World/Durango Reborn/whatever they decide to name the successor - while I did borrow some of their story for my own writing, I do not intend to ever attain a single penny of profit from this, and I acknowledge that doing so could be considered theft. To the devs: if what I'm doing here is still not fine, please let me know if possible in the comments, and I will take it down myself. Thank you for your awesome game regardless, have a lot of fond memories from it.
Disclaimer 2: however immature my own characters behave at the start, the mature tag is on there for a reason. Inspiration taken both from Michael Cricthon's Jurassic Park, and Durango's - sometimes kind of grotesque, gallows humor kind of - lore snippets... Just so you know what to expect. Violence, gore, and foul language are kind of inevitable when you throw a bunch of people among the raptors.
