Nice game
Looking at the code, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the starting name of the MC was not hard-coded onto the game & could be easily changed.
I was even more surprised that there was no name change mod yet, so I thought I'd make one.
So attached is a mod to change the birth name of the MC (the default name you start the game with).
Installation: Download the 00_ChangeName.rpy file & put it in the /game folder (found in the same location as TheBite.exe).
Open it with any text editor & replace RandomName with the name you want (remember to save the changes).
Eg: if you want John to be the starting name, "RandomName" should be changed to "John"
Compatibility/updates: The mod only initialises the default value of MC_DEFAULT_NAME with a different value.
Hence
it'll require no updates, shouldn't cause any compatibility issues with other mods nor cause any errors.
Worst possible scenario, it'l stop working & the default name reverts back.
Also it doesn't require a new game, the birth/starting name of the mc in your current saves will also be changed, i.e. the dialogue referring to the MC's pre-vamp name will use the name put in the mod file.
Use at your own risk if you do not understand anything about what was just explained.
Anyway, this seems to be a very nice game.
Best wishes to the dev going forward
