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

Synthnostate v0.7.4 progress

Converted and cleaned up NPC/item data on day one. 100% smooth sailing, feels good man.

Dialogue UI ported (and converted from big-box-of-text to 'speech bubble' over the NPC's head)...

2

v0.7.3 released

Ported and overhauled ~95% of combat code from V1.

2

Demo v0.7.2 released

Content editing & inventory management

(Next two releases will focus on gameplay!)

2

Demo v0.7.1 released

VERY BASIC combat, health bars, weapon/attack selection UI

Next: NPC creation tools, combat details, dialogue, etc. All RPG fundamentals should be functional in early March.

2

v0.7.0 Tech Demo released

What’s new? Nothing except JS scripting, internal cleanup, and fixes.

Details+roadmap: https://doomcult.itch.io/synthnostate/devlog/337948/v070-tech-de…

First demo uploaded! It's just a first glimpse of the new engine... I wanted to put this out before I switch script languages (wasn't happy with Lua, switching to JS.)

2

First demo dropping soon.. next week? It's feature complete, just needs cleanup.

2

Engine V2 is almost done. No art/style changes, just a rebuild in plain C with cleaner graphics+GUI systems, Lua scripting, and in-engine editing for smoother content editing & modding.

2

March 2021 big-picture update on Synthnostate: Crusaders of the Tinfoil Hat - basically the yearly “we’re not dead” post. I wanted this to be the WIP release announcement, but alas, I can only say we’re getting there.

Devlog moved again due to platform issues here!
