Build 3: The Indulgence

It's time for build 3, and the Indulgence has arrived! 

Be aware that, following this build, updates will most likely be getting shorter (probably hitting closer to the 15k words mark). This is mostly so I can spend longer editing the builds. It's also because I'm spending a bit 'too' much time on Soulcreek and should probably cut back before it takes over my life!

Once again, I can't stress enough how important Kopten Owl and Sam were for all their editing and proof-reading! Here's a rough idea of what to expect in this build:

• Day 4 of the story, with 25k words of content.
• Choices on this day impact the events more than previous days, though there are still no 'bad' choices. Pick what you prefer, not what you think will make the characters 'happy'. The ending will not change!
• Lots of new art by DanielleClaire! A new minor character sprite (with expressions), a single static sprite, two CGs and "outfits" for Loken and Orion!
• Choices that impact dialogue from previous days can now be selected when choosing a starting day at the beginning of the VN.
• Re-writes for previous days. Some scenes were changed to fix pacing and character dynamics - most notably, the way in which Alex realizes he's attracted to Loken has been altered, and some scenes with Byte were changed for this. Just something I want to try! If it doesn't work, I'll change it back! There are a few other re-writes too, but I'll not spoil them here.
• A pre-censored version of the game is also available that's more suitable for streaming. It's a separate download, and you can get it here!

I also wanted to just thank everyone again for all the support and encouragement! I really never expected Soulcreek to be anywhere near as successful as it has been, and I'll admit that I get really anxious about disappointing people. That being said, I'm so grateful that people are enjoying the story (and the sexy stuff, of course!) and I'm completely intent on seeing it through to the end!

As always, twitter is the best place to follow the project and get in touch with me! I'm also pretty active, along with lots of other friendly folks, on the official discord server for the VN, so drop by and say hey! I love chatting with you guys, hearing your theories, questions and sharing future plans!

Stay safe, and be kind to each other and yourselves!

PS, I want to assure everyone that I do read the reviews and comments here on itch.io and really appreciate them, even if I don't respond on here! I'm trying to keep all my social media activity restricted to twitter and discord, as otherwise the project will probably start to drown me!
