What is Softcore Works?
Softcore Works is a non-profit, community and passion-driven partnership between the creative director / commissioner "Austro" and artists that execute his vision.
What does Softcore Works create?
Softcore Works creates Western adult comics. Because they are Western, the language will always be English and nothing will be censored.
What project is Softcore Works currently working on?
Softcore Works is currently working on volumes for the comic "Jungle of Pleasure" it is a non-linear comic where every volume can be enjoyed isolated from other volumes.
What is "Jungle of Pleasure"?
"Jungle of Pleasure" is an original comic series being developed by Softcore Works.
The main character is an Elf girl who lives a primitive and wild life in the jungle without technology, clothing and modesty. In each volume there will be a different "enemy" she will encounter ranging from humanoids to creatures / monsters to plants. Each volume will depict the before, during and after of the non-consensual sexual encounter the "enemy" will have with the elf girl. She will be captured, molested and either let go or kept. How this is done depends entirely on what kind of "enemy" she is encountering and what their special abilities are.
What has Softcore Works completed so far?
We have completed "Volume 1: Caught by the Spider Queen!" It is available to the public to view and enjoy, it is a sample of what is to come by Softcore Works.
How will my pledge support Softcore Works?
100% of funds through Patreon will be going directly to artists that are executing my vision. Because this is a non-profit, passion-driven partnership between myself and the artists that are executing the artwork, I will never be making money off of the art they produce for us to enjoy. I only want to see content being produced and enjoyed by myself and Patreons and non-patreons alike. The more pledges there are, the more volumes get produced and also in a shorter amount of time.
What makes Softcore Works original?
Originality is the cornerstone of Softcore Works. We aim to give the Western adult audience tasteful, fresh material that they have not seen before. What sets us apart is that we combine non-consensual sexual contexts with softcore sexual acts. This means that even though the "victim" is having non-consensual acts committed upon them, the acts will never surpass a "softcore-level". Fans of non-consensual sexual scenarios and softcore sexual acts will now have the best of both worlds and not have to worry about the victim being physically abused.
What is your definition of "Softcore"?
"Softcore" means different things to different people. Some people believe it's when the genitals are not depicted, and some believe it's very light, intimate contact such as kissing and hugging. My definition of "Softcore" is when the sexual act does not include any penetration or pain. This means that sexual acts that would be normally be seen as "Foreplay" or "Teasing" would be the only acts depicted in our comics. We aim for the victim in our comics to only experience pleasure and not any sort of pain or abuse.
Why is "Non-Consent" the main theme in your content?
I fully understand that "Non-'Consent" is a dicey genre for many adult-content fans so I, as the Creative Director of Softcore Works will do my best to explain why I chose this genre as our main theme.
I believe there is a certain aspect to non-consent that people, including myself, enjoy. The victim little to no control over the situation, and being left completely at the whim of the "aggressor" if you will. However, the part I see too often depicted in this genre, and the part I do not like at all, is when that control the "aggressor" has over the victim leads to physical abuse and deprivation.
I am introducing respect and care into non-consensual scenarios. At a glance, this may seem like a massive contradiction, however, I do have solid reasoning behind my logic. I believe it is possible for the "aggressor" to respect the body of the victim while taking the freedom away from the person. This means that the person no longer exists to the "aggressor" only the body of the victim that they are "taking care of" against the will of the victim. In short, the "aggressor" seeks to pleasure the victim against their will,
And of course, this logic only applies to fictional works, where we have the ability to carefully craft scenarios where there is no pain or abuse, only comfort and pleasure. I in no way advocate for non-consent in real life.
What existing content is Softcore Works inspired by?
Throughout my life, I have been inspired by many different works, and both the frustration of works that I have enjoyed, but not being the way exactly of how I would have done them, and wanting to see more of works that I have really enjoyed, have led me to commission artists and kick start the Softcore Works partnership.
Some games that have inspired me are:
Linemarvel's Jungle Girl and Demon Girl
KoooonSoft's Shinobi Girl, Witch Girl and Angel Girl
Eluku99's Fairy Fighting and Wolf Dungeon
Vosmug's Xenotake and Ghost Hunter Vena
All of these games have both softcore and hardcore elements, however, one similarity they all share is that they have different types of "enemies" that inflict a non-consensual sexual act on the player. The sexual act depends on what type of enemy it is, and their ways of restraining the players limbs is also unique to what type of enemy they are. In Softcore Works comics, there is no "player" however, there is a victim that will face different types of "aggressors / enemies" of whom will inflict their will upon the victim using their unique abilities.
