Quick update - I'm halfway done with the Synthnostate v0.8 Alpha series, big one coming in ~2 weeks, October target for Beta 1.
Go to https://doomcult.itch.io/synthnostate for downloads + devlogs.
Next up
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…
v0.7.4 released - Dialogue, Class System, Scene Traversal
The important parts are all in. Now I need another month to follow up on turnbased combat, AI, the GUI system, equipment UI, and debugging.
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)...
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.
Demo v0.7.2 released
Content editing & inventory management
(Next two releases will focus on gameplay!)
v0.7.3 released
Ported and overhauled ~95% of combat code from V1.
New title: READY
Lore, scripts, midgame conspiracy quests: 90%
Combat GUI: UNACCEPTABLE. The code's a mess, I need to rewrite it. I've had some design changes in mind anyway.
Will anyone miss the current one?
Devlog moved again due to platform issues here!

SIDEQUEST: conspiracy overload is hampering development of this game, so I started the next one, where you play an eldritch vampire in a cyberpunk-gone-wrong future, because times like these call for a nice comfy fuck-the-world power fantasy.
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.
