Original post- Updated Toxic pt 4 to fix some unfair Wall Catches
- FIxed a crash when defeating Lina
- Removed Native Linux version in favor of the more stable and maintainable Proton Version
- Updated SteamAPI implementation
This isn't anything huge. We've been hard at work on new projects for the last year or so at this point, but we had some new bugs reported and a few layout tweaks that had been eating at the back of our minds for a while, so figured there's no time like the present to do a little fixing.
We hope to have an announcement for our next game in early 2026, thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy the fixes!

Original postFolks,
This is our final planned update for Soul King. I'm finally closing down the source files and putting them in storage. This is absolutely my favorite game we've made, I still regularly play it for fun, even after hundreds of hours. I really hope you all enjoyed playing Soul King half as much as we enjoyed making it.
We're moving on to another project, this time centered around oral histories of our state (Alaska) but we fully intend on returning to the Barclay Reserve one day with a continuation of Lynn's story in "Soul Kingdom".
Thanks,
Wyatt White

Soul King: Out of the Box is here!

Original postLynn must call on her abilities and blasters once again to brave the dangers of The Forgotten Place, face new nightmares, defeat new enemies, and find the pieces needed to get Grimzo Out of the Box
Even after freeing the Barclay Reserve and striking down the Soul King, Lynn is still trapped. A strange force still keeps Lynn from dropping into The Well to leave the Dreaming World. One person might be able to help her. Grimzo, a legendary inventor and dream weaver might have the knowledge and power to help her make her way back to the waking world. The only problem is that no one has seen or heard directly from Grimzo as long as anyone can remember.
However, after freeing the Barclay Reserve, one of Grimzo's old labs has opened up and revealed the strange place Grimzo has been trapped in for so long.
Ok but what's actually in Soul King: Out of the Box?

An unassuming wall crumbles away in the Barclay Reserve Rapid Transit station to reveal a strange prototype machine named Boxler. It has a strange story to tell, of an inventor named Grimzo locked away in a forgotten dream and that it was sent to ready Lynn for a dangerous quest to free Grimzo.
The Gauntlet provides a remix experience of the Soul King maps you've grown to love (and sometimes hate) providing both on-demand remixed levels as well as a weekly competitive remix that allows you to compete with other players for leaderboard placement. Each of these generated levels includes all-new finales with challenge-focused final maps that are sure to push your skills and our tools to the max, as well as small story connections that hint at what may be in store for Lynn in her next quest.
The Gauntlet is a whole new way to play Soul King, and is available for all Soul King players today!!

Original postA wild patch has appeared!
There's nothing too huge in this one, but we've been hard at work on new stuff and we wanted to get all these changes pushed out to everyone before we really lock-in on our new expansion content.
Changes in this update:
- Fixed some inconsistent Tea interactions
- Reduced base wall-speed slightly (2.5 pps -> 2.2 pps)
- Offhand Reloads now only pause when you switch back to a weapon
- Smoothed out bumping into walls (still will slow you down, but less bump/reduction)
- Added Helper Coffee (included in Dynamic Difficulty, spawns a powerfull Coffee pickup to help out players who are struggling)
- Ammo Pickups now accellerate reloading and offhand reloading by more
- Added Quick-Turn (For controller and Keyb-only players, turns the player 180 degrees in 1/3 a second)
- Fake Lighting (Players viewmodel and enemies are now recolored to mimic lighting changes, real basic stuff)
- Fixed Several spelling issues
- Keyboard/Gamepad control checks are now done consistently through play, not just when the game boots
- Fullscreen is now default for new players (sorry, that was a rookie mistake)

Sale King!
First things first, we've putting Soul King on sale for 35% off during Steam's Winter Sale (Dec 21 - Jan 4)! If you've been dragging your feet on getting Soul King there's no time like the present! We don't anticipate dropping the price this low for quite a while! In other exciti

In other exciting news, we've been hard at work on a new mode that we'll be launching at the end of January! The Gauntlet will launch on January 28 and will provide a remix experience of the Soul King maps you've grown to love (and sometimes hate) providing both on-demand remixed levels as well as a weekly competitive remix that allows you to compete with other players for leaderboard placement. Each of these remixed levels includes all-new finales with challenge focused final maps that are sure to push your skills and our tools to the max.
The Gauntlet is squarely focused on providing greater environmental replayability to Soul King, but we're not leaving the story nerds high and dry. The Gauntlet also serves as a soft-setup for our NEXT batch of new story content, which we expect to be available in Early April 2024.

Soul King is here!
The time has finally come. After two years of work, we've finally made it across the first finish line. We're incredibly proud of the game we've made, and we hope players will enjoy playing Soul King as much as we enjoyed making it. Drop into the shoes of Lynn, a new arrival in T
Original postThe time has finally come. After two years of work, we've finally made it across the first finish line. We're incredibly proud of the game we've made, and we hope players will enjoy playing Soul King as much as we enjoyed making it.
Drop into the shoes of Lynn, a new arrival in The Barclay Reserve an astral hub connecting dreamers together, which has been taken over by the Soul King. He holds each dreamer in his grip, submerging them deep into layers of dream or nightmare in order to harvet their power for himself. Lynn must break each dreamer free of their chains by delving into their personal dreamscape, fighting the ferocious minions of the Soul King to reach the mind at the core of the dream, all while outrunning the mysterious Whispering Wall that pursues her.
Each dreamer you free loosens the Soul King's iron grip, so maybe with enough effort you'll be able to shake the Reserve free of his grasp and defeat him once and for all.
