Synthnostate DEMO [ALPHA]

Version: 0.8.3over 2 years ago

Game Soundtrack

3 songs

B-grade turn-based pre-apocalyptic hard-scifi RPG

In this hard-scifi CRPG set in the 2010s, the UFO hunters were right - somewhat - and it's just your luck to get caught between their crusade and the blowback.

  • Gameplay-focused small independent production. Snappy custom engine. Half-decent 3D-iso graphics. No voiceovers, no cutscenes, no gimmicks, no apologies.

  • Tough turn-based combat, B&E, espionage, impersonation, seduction, blackmail, hacking, trolling, and more.

  • Nonlinear fragmentary narrative. Real choices. Systemic consequences. Over 10 drastically different endings. No unkillable NPCs.

  • 10 quicksave slots, autosaves & manual saves for all your savescumming needs.

  • Platforms: Windows + Linux (64-bit)

    • ZIP download includes bothWindows & Linux executables and is simplest for modding. Windows EXE also runs great in WINE.

    • AppImage may be more convenient for newer Linux distros

IN DEVELOPMENT - free for now

Last week:

-power-out lighting in the first main area

-idle animation variations

-fixes & performance improvements

Combat is the focus this week. Bug fixes, and more of it. (Maybe all the NPCs really are out to get you, lol)

It's been a busy week.

-boilerplate stats for all common NPCs

-calibrated damage for all weapons

-modeled 3 SMGs

-armed all the NPCs (9mm's for law enforcement & gangbangers, and some .45's)

-unified npc/item/savefile format

-improved editing tools

Working on combat again... armor piercing formulas, weapon stats, ammo fixes, and a special gangbanger attack animation for any character with the "thug" trait and a handgun!

Bead curtains & fully interactive stripper poles! Yes, a dialogue-based cash-farming minigame, lol.

Now rated Mature for textual sex & 'realistic' violence, but non-NSFW.

Need hardwood floors, I think, and nicer walls.. red brick? something shiny?

2

Finished up the basic normie clothing for all sizes, so you can get mugged in the parking garage by a wimpy little dude with a black hoodie and a baton. The first warmup fight.

Also adding friendlier NPCs to tell rumors about this place.

Itch vs GameJolt: they each have some pros and cons. Let's try running a devlog on both for a while to get a better feel.

Just a quick we're-not-dead update. Where have we been for the last two weeks? Distracted by politics like everyone else. First the Trump impeachment probe, then China.
