SOLAR ASH REI DRIVER
This broad story set-up translates to reaching and clearing out anomalies that are interfering with the conduits, then defeating each area’s colossal boss creature.Īction-platforming is very much the main driver of Solar Ash, but it’s interested in worldbuilding too, and has plenty to dig into via story elements like audio logs left by Rei’s missing teammates, scrawled notes in the environment, a handful of survivors you can talk to, and quizzing Rei’s friendly AI construct Cyd on the details of the mission. These are necessary to power a gigantic, monolithic piece of technology called the Starseed - which, in turn, is the only hope to close the black hole itself and save Rei’s planet from imminent destruction. You are Rei, a Voidrunner who has ventured inside a black hole called The Ultravoid, and you’re trying to find out what happened to each of your companions and ensure the conduits they set up throughout the different sectors of the void are operational. In Solar Ash you’re faced with platforming challenges, light puzzles, enemy encounters, bosses, and impossible spaces - and you glide your way through it all, accompanied by an appropriately atmospheric, synth-driven sci-fi score. Surface analysis is neo- + - phyte, from neo "new, young", and phyte "plant.Solar Ash’s vivid colour palette is evocative of developer Heart Machine’s last game, Hyper Light Drifter, but transposed to a 3D open-world, in which momentum is the overriding design principle. The word is borrowed from Latin neophytus, from Ancient Greek νεόφυτος (neóphutos, “newly planted”), from νέος (néos, “new”) + φυτόν (phutón, “plant, child”). Pyat's nickname for Rei, "Neophyte", means "a new convert to a religion" or "a person who is new to a subject or activity," implying that Pyat believes he has managed to convert her to his religious, spiritual beliefs about the Starseed being a holy vessel sent to them by the divine, to be used to cleanse their world's people.
the gameplay video was posted as a video by Annapurna Interactive shortly after on their YouTube channel. In a PlayStation blog post, Alx Preston revealed that the character's name is Rei, that she is a "Voidrunner" and that she is on a mission to save her home world from the massive world-swallowing black hole known as the "Ultravoid." The blog also included a gameplay video, posted to Sony's own PlayStation YouTube channel and using footage of the game recorded on the PlayStation 5.
Preston also stated in the tweet that he will be going in-depth about her in a dev blog in a week or so. On March 25, 2019, at 23:07, Alex Preston revealed a promotional painting of the game's protagonist on Twitter, and in the tweet revealed that it is in fact a female character. The first glimpse at the game's protagonist was through the teaser trailer unveiled on March 13, 2019. Rei is a skilled combatant, able to move quickly and do complex movements and hit fast without immense precision. Rei is extreme agile, able to quickly speed across the ashen clouds in the Ultravoid with abilities akin to skating and cover great distances in the rift's world. It appears Rei is able to harness a form of hard light to produce a long sword-like weapon. She wears hard light bracelets, one of which seems to be able to transform into a sort of weapon. Rei is a slender female humanoid clad in dark clothing, with a glowing, transparent pink cloak/cape combo covering her upper body, a white mask, three blue eyes and long tangled black hair. Rei will meet other endearing friends along the way, battle giant enemies and unravel a sort of mystery, all while bewaring "the remnants that loom and bristle with hunger". It is familiar, though alien, beautiful, peaceful at times and supremely violent in others, and the gravity is wild. Inside the massive black hole, Rei will encounter incredible dangers and surreal spaces that feel like a dream none can escape from. Not much is known of Rei's story so far other than the fact that she will journey into a ravenous world-swallowing rift in space known as the Ultravoid in order to save her own home world.
