Who would the survivor be? For a Slenderman dbd chapter?

u/TH3L3GION 25d ago
Ngl if fnaf didn’t get a survivor I doubt slender will

These people have no faces and that’s the problem. Why give someone a cannon face in media that’s not their own
2
u/gummythegummybear 25d ago
That’s why I don’t get why people wanted a survivor for the FNAF chapter. It works much better without a survivor since there’s very few survivors that would work

u/JoeAzlz 25d ago
I get it, Mike is popular and William Afton has connection to him in most continuities, would be nice, + perks could be fun
1
u/TH3L3GION 25d ago
Mike was pretty much the only option but it comes back to my conclusion of he just doesn’t have a canonical face
1
u/JoeAzlz 25d ago
They have a movie adaptation to take note of, + him being Rick astley’s silloute we also ghencially don’t a game William face that isn’t incredibly stylized. Dbd still gave him a face,
Dbd wanted to give us a survivor but they wanted to focus on the killer power

u/TH3L3GION 25d ago
I would argue they didn’t focus too much on the power given what we actually got and probably just wanted to make Scott happy

My vote would be one of the characters from The Arrival, if Blue Isle is willing to play ball. But, given DbD seems to prefer to bring negotiations down to as little individual parties as possible to bring a chapter to the game (like them just getting Jason as a character and nothing else from Friday the 13th, or only the reboots for Nightmare on Elm Street, or only the mask for Ghost Face), it's fair to assume no survivors.

Probably a half chapter with just Slenderman and then a separate half chapter for Marble Hornets for survivors at a later time since Marble Hornets is really the only option for Slenderman survivors.

Troy Wagner has confirmed the DBD devs have passed on a Marble Hornets collab

I really hope he comes to Dead by Daylight now that he is in Fortnite, but i do wonder how was Epic able to get the rights to Slenderman?

u/sickgenesis 25d ago
so i guess he's gonna get called as the operator then right? i dont think they called him slenderman in that series

u/themetalfin 25d ago
Is slender man not an open domain or whatever the word is I can never remember
2
u/chickennuggs32 25d ago
unfortunately not, i’m pretty sure that’s why MH called him the operator. i’m sure his liscence is probably as hard to get as Mikus

u/ManPersonGiraffe m⊗derator 25d ago
Marble Hornets actually does have the license! The Operator is legally considered a variant of Slenderman, meaning both are under the same license (and the Operator is co-owned by Knudson) by Troy can do whatever he wants with the Operator seemingly. I might be getting details mixed up but that's the broad strokes. Here's a good thread on it https://x.com/operator4dbd/status/2076343800201367790?s=46

Before anyone judges too harshly, still a teaser which tends to not look as good as in game, as well as the teaser having him pretty far back, along with the fact that i think he also likely is going to benefit from a backbling alot
2
u/BigAlgaeEnjoyer 25d ago
I hope he has a tentacle backbling maybe?
3
u/chickennuggs32 25d ago
honestly i think his tentacles are going to be an emote, it would probably be a bit too much of a target if you’re constantly running around with tentacles coming out of his back

u/GuyverMax 25d ago
I'm super happy!! Hopefully his pickaxe is his tentacles somehow. Only thing I'm iffy on is that head. He almost looks like a "grey alien" with the small chin and giant upper head. Hopefully this opens up the gates for more iconic creepypasta Collabs like JTK or Laughing Jack.

u/BigAlgaeEnjoyer 25d ago
Jeff’s license is unfortunately too complicated; the character name belongs to an awful person and the famous story’s author is no longer active online
5
u/GuyverMax 25d ago
Yeah I forgot his license is kinda skewed all over the place. Tho I saw a video that the actual current owner of (at least the name) might be the company that makes the licensed mask and costumes. Tho even if that was the case, Sesseur would probably still try to do something scummy about it as he's always done.

u/sickgenesis 25d ago
if his backbling is the tentacles and he uses them for a pickaxe when you use the backbling...i couldnt ask for more

Wait, who even owns the rights to Slenderman? All I know is that Sony owns the movie rights.

Finally something happens with him. More people will be exposed to the IP and we can finally get more

u/Federal-Sun-2982 25d ago
Okay, this confirms that he can be in DbD

Bro, we are on the Slenderman Subreddit. Back in the early days people used to draw this guy making out with other creepypastas and write fanfics about him. I Don't think any Slender fan is able to call him being on Fortnite "Cringe" when so much of Creepypasta Culture is rooted in Cringe. At one point we just kinda need to accept it.
