Crafting Future From Ruins: A Writer's Guide to Designing Post-Apocalyptic Technology

Photo: Standard License- Adobe Stock

Crafting post-apocalyptic tech involves blending creativity and realism. This is a guide to help you invent tech for your post-apocalyptic world:

Tinker, Tailor, Writer, Spy: Start with modern tech. Take it apart (conceptually or literally if you're feeling adventurous). Using the basics, think of how your character might put it back together with limited tools and resources.

Master the Fundamentals: Understand the basic principles underlying the tech you're working with. Physics, chemistry, and biology can be your best friends. This understanding can guide your character's resourceful innovations.

Embrace the Scrapyard: The world around you has potential tech components. Appliances, vehicles, infrastructure - how could these be deconstructed and repurposed? Your characters will need to use what's at hand.

Cherishing Old Wisdom: Pre-apocalypse books and manuals are the new internet. A character with access to this knowledge could become a vital asset in tech-building.

There's a world out there, on the edge of human space, where a virus has spread that rots off human skin. They interact with aliens more then humans so there's not much fear of it spreading, but for the people on that world it's like humanity is slowly being eaten away.

Most people can't afford to quarantine or to go off world. It's attached to everything, it's in the water, in the air, in the soil. After a few decades everyone is infected, children born on the planet are born infected, it's just a matter of when it begins to take hold.

People live their lives with their skin slowly rotting away. It just looks like they're pale and sickly at first, but then slowly, useally starting with the fingers, it starts to take them. Due to technology on the planet being sufficiently advanced it is survivable, but the rotted skin must be replaced with an artificial skin, that looks and feels like black rubber. In the early stages it looks like someone is just wearing black rubber gloves, but as time goes on it gets to take up more and more of the body. By the end stages everything is replaced with a shiny black covering, the face has to be replaced with a device that looks like a gas mask as the mouth and eyes are particularly ravaged by the virus. Due to eating being impossible when someone's face is replaced injections must be taken regularly.

People live their lives mourning what they've lost. They'll go to the beach for one last time. Eat their favorite food knowing they won't be able to. They'll ask their loved one's to play with their hair or stroke their skin before it's gone. People will make love for the last time before the virus takes their genitals. They'll look at the things and people they love before their eyes are made lidless and covered in glass. Its made worse by its slowness, everyone counting down the moments, and watching as they lose more and more of their bodies.

But people can cope. They can still live even once the virus has taken everything that it can. People start customizing their artificial skin with paint and stickers. Some people add loose hoods or even wigs to their skins so they won't look bald. They end up picking out masks that they feel suit them the most, changing them sometimes. People live entire lives without skin, when you're like that for long enough it stops being your top priority. You have to live your life nomatter the pain, though once all your skin is gone you end up more numb then you are in pain.

Eventually most of the humans on that planet reproduce through cloning. Sex is mostly out of the picture once you don't have skin, but humanity still needs to exist. It's important to people that humanity survives on this planet in a part of the galaxy where humans are rare. After a few generations people are skinned at birth, as it's seen as less cruel then letting them feel the pain of losing their skin. And when you're in a world where nobody has skin, having skin seems weird and scary. Eventually warriors and nobility from this planet opt for a more metalic and armored artificial skin, further changing how this branch of humanity relates to its condition.

When a fleet of humans from another planet comes to visit that world, hoping for an alliance between fellow humans in a place where humans are rare, they don't even still see eachother as being part of the same species.

Hic est nihilum

[DEMO] Last update: 19/04/2024 | [ROMANCE OPTIONS]

SYNOPSIS

Hic est nihilum is a 16+ fantasy story set in a desolate, post-apocalyptic wasteland. Assume the mantle of the Omen, a rebel who endured a harrowing betrayal. Embarking on a perilous journey through the lifeless Abysm, you must rescue your allies from the clutches those who'd sooner see you dead and stop two loving, loathing gods from taking control of your mind.

PLOT

After a lifetime of enduring the Matriarch's iron grip, you dared to defy her tyranny. Empowered by the enigmatic Sud the Time's End, the smiling harbinger of death, you led your forces to reclaim a portion of the desolate, lifeless wastes of the Abysm. Victory seemed within reach, until betrayal shattered your ambitions.

Left for dead in the unforgiving desert, your survival now hinges on an ambiguous mission from your divine benefactor. As you navigate this treacherous path, the fate of your allies hangs in the balance, while the Matriarch's dominion remains unchallenged.

Yet, amidst the chaos, whispers of alternative powers echo through the Abysm, offering salvation at a steep price. Will you bend to the will of fate, or forge your own path to freedom? The choice is yours, but in this land of turmoil, nothing comes without sacrifice.

FEATURES

Play as a male, female, or non-binary character and choose your sexuality.

Customize your appearance and personality.

Decide on your skills, weapon, and fighting style.

Gather a patchwork group to rebel against the Matriarch.

Interact with two gods who want to take you as an ally, servant, and saint: Erichea the Drowned Maiden and Sud the Time's End.

Decide how you'll lead your rebellion: Will you be a ruthless rulebreaker, an idealistic liberator, or a pragmatic diplomat?

Don't lose your mind. Or do.

ROMANCE OPTIONS

Faz Sharaan is a tech expert who mysteriously appeared at your doorstep, offering his expertise. Though invaluable to your cause and a man with a heart of gold, his past remained a tightly guarded secret. It's as if he emerged fully formed from the desert sands.

Yuan Lixue is your steadfast ally and fierce protector. From the outset, she dedicated herself wholeheartedly to your cause, her loyalty to freedom unwavering. Yet, the crucible of battle has left its mark, turning her into a hardened warrior with an appetite for blood.

Rhys Dariann is exactly what he says: A flesh-eating demon. Yet he seamlessly transitions into kind town doctor and devoted chaplain. His reasons for aiding you are veiled in secrecy, but one thing is clear: an old hatred towards the Matriarch fuels his every action.

The Angel is an enigmatic and inhuman celestial being sworn to your cause without explanation. Their price? To never again take a life under your command. You've always wondered, however, if they're fallen from grace or merely overlooked by the gods of the Abysm.
