Soulcreek [v0.8] [Ryuo]

August 17, 2024F95

Welcome to Illayla; one thousand years after the collapse of contemporary society! What happened? No one knows.
The human race? Gone.
Centuries later, the last surviving human is found with no memory,
no past and a sprightly AI in his head that doesn’t know the difference between humans and computers.

This post-apocalyptic future consist of sparse, primitive tribes that cling to scavenged remnants of revered technology.
Their lives are made
hazardous by the lethal Blackzones; swathes of abandoned,
bountiful lands that are infested with ominous machine-creatures called ‘Demons’.
Only the illusive Blackrunners, a sect of deft survivalists,
know how to navigate the Blackzones and plunder them for precious Salvage in the name of their clan’s prosperity.

Together with the temperamental husky Loken, the last human must train to become the newest
Blackrunner and discover the mysteries of the Blackzones,
the incomprehensible creatures stalking them and the contentious question of his own origin.

Changelog:

v0.8

v0.7

v0.6

v0.5

Days 6 and 7 added. Both new days round up to 45k words, bringing the total to 180k.
Re-written introduction. The opening sequence has been revamped completely. Some lines have been kept or moved around and some parts have been totally redone. You can meet Loken and Byte all over again, with an added CG! After Drevonia and Takhi enter the scene, things play out mostly the same.
2 new CGs. One is present in the re-vamped introduction, and another appears on day 6.
2 new character sprites. Both Barrow and Miya, two minor characters that were previously only described in text, now have sprites with expressions. Miya’s dialogue is mostly the same with a few additions. Barrow’s scene has been totally re-written, and there is now much more to his story!
Expressions for Orion. It was criminal that the leader of the Mating Troupe only had one face! Now, he has expressions! These have been added to all his scenes.
Tweaks to the original script. Small additions or edits have been made throughout. In particular, the pacing in which Alex realises he is attracted to Loken has been dialled back. Now, it isn’t introduced until the very end of day 1.
All sprites re-sized. This is to improve their quality when they’re zoomed in and reduce the file size of the game.

v0.4

Day 6. Another 23k words, bringing the full word count so far to 136k.
New art. Elle has absolutely outdone herself this build with 4 CGs, two new expressions for Mylo and a new major character making their debut!
NSFW Content Toggle. Introduced in the last build, the NSFW content can be switched on or off in the main menu! This won’t make the game entirely SFW, as there will still be blurred out dicks and some very horny language, but it’s heavily toned down and you won’t see any nudity!
Re-writes for Byte. I’ve never fully been satisfied with Byte’s mannerisms, but wasn’t sure what direction to take him. For this build, I experimented with making him more of a jaded cynic and found myself enjoying him far more! I went back and edited some of his previous scenes to reflect this. He’s still the same character for the most part, but he reacts to the human’s interest in Loken more with resigned irritation rather than enthusiasm. It’s also allowed for more fun banter between him and Alex! Plus, has a worryingly sensual obsession with data now… For those who don’t want to re-read the the entire story but would like to see Byte’s new dialogue, the main altered scenes can be found in Alex’s subconscious at the ends of the first, second and third days, plus the first hot spring scene. There are also smaller changes throughout, but I won’t list them all here as they’re too numerous to count.
Changes to the Indulgence. It’s now possible for the human to trigger the first spicy scene with Loken at the Indulgence, in public. Previously, this scene would only occur after the event, when they returned home. The scene itself plays out largely the same, but with a few additional lines thrown in to emphasise the act being public. In order to trigger this scene, you have to take Flare with Loken.

Developer Notes:

Story and Code by Ryuo
Character sprites by Danielleclaire
Edited by Kopten Owl and Sam

Soulcreek is a sci-fi/romance FVN intended to be released in instalments. It features a human male protagonist with a changeable name and a single m/m love interest. Choices may alter dialogue or relationship dynamics, but are mostly used for roleplaying purposes and have no major consequential effects on the story. There will be a single ending.

Adult content can be toggled on or off in the main menu.

Soulcreek occasionally uses soundscapes to support the narrative. For the best experience, keep the sound effects volume turned on!

There’s no update schedule for the project as this is entirely a non-commercial passion project, however I will aim for an update every three months! If you wish to follow the development of project or get in touch with me, the best way is on twitter!
