Build 2: "Out of the Black"

Build 2, titled ‘Out of the Black’, is here! I was able to get through this one much faster than expected, since much of it was already written before the first build went live. The wait for build 3 will be slightly longer, but hopefully there’s enough here to keep everyone going!

KoptenOwl and Sam have been doing some editing work behind the scenes for this and the previous build, so both are now credited on the front page of the itch.io page as Soulcreek’s official editors!

Final note; thank you so much everyone for all the support, kind words and theory crafting that’s really helped keep me motivated and inspired! I've been pretty blown away by the response! Here's some of the awesome fanart that has come from build 1!

Okay, onto the new build! Here’s what’s new!

• Day 4 has been added, with roughly 26k words. It also features a CG, an added expression for Loken and a new minor character sprite (minor characters will have static sprites).
• The backgrounds have been remade, and staring at them shouldn’t feel like joining the Informed anymore! The filter was turned down, and some backgrounds were remade entirely with different stock images!
• Byte’s teasing on day 3 has been nerfed very slightly! Don’t worry, he’s still the same AI, just a little more realistic with his banter!
• A few lines were altered that were included as on oversight on my part. I won’t say which ones!
• Minor changes (such as typos) made to days 1-3.
• Saved games from the previous build apparently aren't all working, so just be aware that some older saves may not function unless I can figure out why!

That’s all! I hope you guys enjoy! As always, follow me on twitter for updates on the project's development! You can also join the Soulcreek discord server to throw questions at me, theory craft or just chill out with other friendly folks!

Until next time, be kind to yourselves!
