-🌐 SOULSTREAM EXPANSIVE — NEW PATREON TIERS 🌐- (Patreon)

Hey everyone! I’m restructuring the Soulstream Expansive Patreon around how I’m actually developing games going forward.

Instead of forcing myself into “I have to make a completely new game every month”, I want Soulstream to become a growing collection of games that I can release, revisit, expand, update, and build into bigger experiences over time.

There are two main kinds of games I’m working on:

🌐 WEB GAMES Smaller, bite-sized games that you can jump into and play online. These are quicker experiences, but they aren’t necessarily finished forever when they release. I can return to them with new features, mechanics, content, improvements, and updates, while also releasing entirely new web games over time.

🎮 UNREAL GAMES These are the larger, more ambitious projects. Some may take ideas explored in the smaller web games and turn them into much bigger experiences, with more mechanics, content, environments, interactions, and continued development. The first web game is already available, and its larger Unreal counterpart is currently being developed. I also have other projects cooking behind the scenes that I haven’t revealed yet.

I’m deliberately keeping those quiet until they’re actually ready to show rather than announcing seventeen games and creating seventeen new ways for everyone to ask me “is it done yet?” 😭 With that out of the way…

HERE ARE THE NEW TIERS!

💙 $1/MONTH — SOULSTREAM LURKER

FOLLOW. SUPPORT. BE PART OF IT.

Lurker is the entry-level support tier for anyone who wants to help support Soulstream Industries, keep up with what I’m creating, and be involved as my games and worlds continue to grow.

This tier is focused on following development rather than accessing playable builds. You’ll get regular looks at what I’m working on, including game and character artwork, development progress, previews, announcements, behind-the-scenes material, and other things I share along the way.

You’ll also have opportunities to vote in community polls, give feedback, and have a say in certain ideas and decisions as projects develop.

💙 LURKERS GET:

📰 Development news, progress posts, and announcements🎨 Game art, character art, concepts, and other artwork👀 Previews and behind-the-scenes looks at current projects✨ Early looks and teasers for things I’m working on🖼️ Bonus images, videos, and game/world content when available🗳️ Community polls and voting opportunities💬 Opportunities to give feedback and be involved in development🎮 News and updates covering my different games and projects💬 Soulstream Industries Discord access + Lurker role

Please note: Lurker is a support, news, art, and community tier and does not include playable game builds or game downloads. Playable game access begins with the $5 Resident tier.

If you just want to throw a dollar my way, follow everything I’m making, see more of the development process, and be part of the Soulstream community, Lurker is for you. 💙

💜 $5/MONTH — SOULSTREAM RESIDENT ⭐

PLAY THE MAIN GAMES. FOLLOW THEM AS THEY GROW.

⭐ THE MAIN GAME TIER / RECOMMENDED

Resident is the main game-access tier for Soulstream Industries.

If you’re joining because you want to play the larger games I’m actively developing, this is the tier I recommend. Resident is where my main downloadable projects and Unreal Engine games live, including games like The Soulstream Expansive and other major projects I develop in the future.

These aren’t one-and-done releases. As development continues, Residents receive new builds and updates so you can play the games as they grow and change over time.

💜 RESIDENTS GET:

🎮 Everything included with Soulstream Lurker🏙️ Access to my main games and larger Unreal Engine projects⬇️ Downloadable PC builds🔄 New builds, features, content, and updates as they’re released👀 Development previews and progress looks for the main games🖼️ Additional game and character artwork and bonus content🗳️ Member polls and opportunities to vote on future ideas and features💬 Soulstream Industries Discord access💜 Soulstream Resident Discord role

💾 KEEP THE BUILDS YOU DOWNLOAD

If you download a build while you’re an active member, that downloaded copy is yours to keep on your computer. I’m not going to remotely take it away if you later leave the tier.

Membership gives you access to future builds and updates as development continues, so staying subscribed means you can continue following and playing the newest versions of the projects.

⭐ WHAT KIND OF GAMES ARE INCLUDED?

Resident is specifically focused on my main, larger-scale games. This includes projects such as The Soulstream Expansive and the downloadable Unreal games that receive ongoing development, new content, features, characters, mechanics, and updates.

The smaller web games, experimental mini-games, extended versions, special options, and additional side projects are Soldier benefits rather than Resident benefits.

💜 WHO IS RESIDENT FOR?

Resident is for you if you want to support my work while actually playing the main games I’m building and following their development from one version to the next.

If you mainly want news, artwork, previews, polls, and community involvement, Lurker ($1) is the support tier.

If you want the main games and their updates, Resident ($5) is the game tier.

If you want everything, including the web games, mini-games, experimental projects, extended options, add-ons, special features, and other bonus game content, Soldier ($10) is the complete tier.

Resident is the home of the main Soulstream Industries games. 💜

🧡 $10/MONTH — SOULSTREAM SOLDIER

MORE GAMES. MORE OPTIONS. THE FULL PACKAGE.

Soldier is the highest game-access tier for Soulstream Industries and is meant for people who want more than just the main projects.

You receive everything included with Resident, including access to my main downloadable and Unreal Engine games, but Soldier also opens up the other games, experiments, and expanded content I create alongside them.

As I’ve started developing more projects at the same time, I want Soldier to be where all of those extra ideas have a home.

🧡 SOLDIERS GET:

⭐ Everything included with Soulstream Resident🌐 Access to my web games, including POUR and future browser projects🎮 New web games and their updates as they’re released🕹️ Mini-games and smaller side projects🧪 Experimental games, prototypes, and unusual ideas I decide to turn into something playable✨ Extended versions and additional options for games when available➕ Add-ons, special features, bonus content, and other game extras🔨 Early access to select builds, mechanics, features, and experiments👀 Early looks at upcoming projects📋 Deeper development posts and behind-the-scenes updates💡 Opportunities to submit ideas and development feedback🗳️ Priority voting on selected features, concepts, and future content💬 Soldier/development Discord access🧡 Soulstream Soldier Discord role🏆 Optional name in game credits when available

🌐 WEB GAMES

Soldier is now the home of my web games.

Projects like POUR and future browser games are something I want to take further than simple throwaway experiments. These games can receive new mechanics, characters, scenarios, progression, features, balancing, and other additions as I continue developing them.

Some will be smaller, while others may grow into surprisingly substantial projects of their own.

🕹️ MINI-GAMES & SIDE PROJECTS

I’m constantly coming up with ideas that I want to make playable without turning every single one into another massive Unreal project.

Soldiers will get access to these smaller games, experiments, prototypes, and side projects as an additional benefit.

There isn’t a promise of a brand-new mini-game every month. I’d rather release these when I have an idea worth making than force something out just to meet a schedule.

✨ EXTENDED OPTIONS & ADD-ONS

Soldier will also remain the tier for extended versions, additional options, special features, add-ons, and other extras I create for my games.

When I make something that goes beyond the standard version of a game, this is where you’ll find it.

🧪 CLOSER TO DEVELOPMENT

Soldier still keeps the development-focused benefits of the tier.

You may occasionally receive experimental builds, prototypes, unfinished mechanics, early features, or other things I’m testing before they’re ready for a normal release. Some of this content may be unfinished, strange, buggy, or change completely during development.

That’s part of the point. Soldier gives you a closer look at the workshop while I’m actually building these things.

🧡 WHO IS SOLDIER FOR?

If you mainly want to support my work and follow development, Lurker ($1) is for you.

If you want to play my main downloadable and Unreal games, Resident ($5) gives you those projects and their ongoing updates.

If you want the full Soulstream Industries package, including the main games, web games, mini-games, side projects, experiments, extended options, add-ons, special features, bonus content, and closer access to development, Soldier ($10) is where you want to be.

Soldier isn’t about me promising another giant finished game every month. It’s about giving you access to the wider range of things I create, from the major projects all the way down to the weird little game idea I decided was too fun not to make.

If I make something extra, Soldier is where I want it to end up. 🧡
