MV - MASSIVE DEMO UPDATE: bio-Synthetica (Sci-fi Adventure)

bio-Synthetica is a dark sci-fi adventure featuring turn-based combat inspired by the retro classics. Take on the role of R3-M1, a newly activated robot, as they venture through a dark, dystopian world in search of answers. Yet, the clues lie buried within dust and ash, data files and audio clips left behind by decaying corpses from a not-so-distant past.

However, in the shadows lurks an ancient evil—creatures stalking and hunting you at every turn. You must follow the breadcrumbs left behind by your creator in hopes of locating and protecting her. She gave you life, and you must save hers.

• Scavenge resources, discover schematics, and craft a variety of items.
• Slower and more methodical combat requires a specific strategy for each encounter.
• Exploit certain "reaction" states with various abilities for additional damage and effects.
• New overkill system with a fatality-style finisher that's unique to each enemy.
• No random encounters. All enemies are scripted into each map.
• Find an ARENA-bot companion and upgrade them for additional abilities.
• Fully voiced dialogue by a talented cast of actors.
• Plenty of exploring, hidden rooms, puzzles, and combinations to decipher.
• Dark and atmospheric with a horror/sci-fi theme.

I love to play the demo or bug test it :)
looks nice and creepy.

Thank you Shadow! I will definitely be putting a demo up very soon. Looking forward to that, along with feedback :) Thanks for the LIKE!

this looks really cool seriously hella sweet (and shares most of a name with one of the best albums by one of my favorite bands of all time)

Hey! Thanks for the post. I'm getting closer to finishing my demo. Really excited to share with everyone. Feel free to join my Discord for more updates, but I'll also be posting on here. The first dungeon (which will be in the demo), along with the first couple of hours of gameplay is complete. I'm just waiting on the final bit of artwork to be finished (animations, enemies, HUD interface, etc). Once that's done... the demo will be posted.

Really liked that band, too. Added them to my Spotify!

It's been a while since I've done an update. I was waiting to get most of my artwork finished, along with some of my music before I posted anything. I'm excited to share a couple of things in the below video:

1. Sagrim's Emporium: Mysterious vendor that will show up throughout your adventure
2. Hud Artwork: Would love to hear feedback and recommendations
3. Behavioral Communication: Communicate via animated in-game behaviors

In bio-Sythetica, you'll be able to carry on discussions with various characters via the press of a button. Each behavior will result in a different reaction and dialogue from the NPC's you encounter. There are 7 behaviors in total: Yes, No, Question, Joy, Idea, Surprise, and Anger.

I'll always post updates on here, but feel free to join my Discord (talk with the community, ask questions, and get access to new screenshots and updates faster).

Looks very interesting! Out of curiousity, how do you get the voice over done? Are you using Fiverr/Voices or something else?

Thanks. I'm planning to put out a demo soon. Still working on getting some custom plugins done and a bit more artwork, but it's almost there.

I use Fiverr for the voice acting. You can find a lot of talented actors on there. There will be subtitles, as well. I just didn't add to that scene yet. You'll have the option to turn subtitles on/off, too.

First 12 minutes of opening gameplay & first look at combat!

Been awhile since I've posted on here. Wanted to share the reveal of bio-Synthetica's first boss, The Lurker. Check out one of his cut scenes and battles below:

Started "7 Days of Lore" on my game's blog, and linking on here. See above for Day 1: The Underling. Stop back daily from 9/18 thru 9/24 for more lore on bio-Synthetica! The link goes to my blog on RMN.

The final day of my "7 Days of Lore" event. All 7 days can be viewed via the game page above :)

This looks incredible. The voice acting is on point, love the art style and battles look real interesting. Can't wait to play it!

Thanks for checking my page out. The demo is officially done. I'm just waiting on a couple of things before releasing it to the public:

1. Waiting on artwork for my Steam page capsules (headers, banners, etc).
2. Going to grant access to my Discord testers first. Test a week or two and then launch.

After all of that... the demo will be ready to play. I'll post on all my social media platforms (including this one) and in my Linktree below. I also made a lot of adjustments to battles:

1. Additional reaction states for even more ability combos
2. Overkill attack that lets you brutally kill an opponent (possibly causing others to panic)
3. Added a couple more enemies to help battles be less repetitive
4. Balanced combat, EXP, and the skill tree

I'm excited to share this demo with everyone :) Keep in touch!

• Kill 5 enemy's to fill the Overkill bar​
• Select the skill "Overkill"
• Instantly kill your enemy with a fatality-style animation
• % of causing surviving enemies to enter a Panic State​

Each enemy will have their own unique Overkill animation.

So, I didn't want to share this because the Steam page isn't ready (despite what the end of the trailer says), but I'm too anxious not to share. Here's my game's first official trailer!

1. Steam Page coming VERY soon. Just waiting on capsule art and Steam's approval.
2. Demo is being tested and almost ready for public release!
3. Feel free to join my Discord (via the LinkTree) for daily chat, updates, and Steam announcements.

ENJOY!

I squash all the bugs for you on public release :) nice job getting this far.
the trailer looks nice, keep it up.

Appreciate that! Looking forward to you playing it. Been nearly 2 years haha Though... I took some frequent breaks during that time, as well.

bio-Synthetica is officially on Steam. COMING SOON... the demo! Make sure you go and wishlist the game, so you're notified when that's available!

I am incredibly excited to announce that the official demo for bio-Synthetica is now available on Steam! I'd love feedback, so feel free to leave some if you play! Hope you enjoy the demo!
