- Synthetica 0.7.0 is live! - 3 August 2025
Hi there, long time no see! :DSo, Synthetica version 0.7.0 is live. Yay! But let's start from the beginning.Version 0.6.0 was published at the end of February, followed by some minor updates in March. The game was okay, still too many features were incomplete, and the overall experience was, well, not very inspiring. We also started to have a lot of internal conflicts in our small team, because of the differences in the game vision (which, from my side, hasn't changed since the start of the project). And then The Crunch Time at my workplace slowed everything even more. So, by the end of March, I was a solo indie developer again with an increased workload and a list of over 100 things and features to design, implement, balance, and so on. It was a massive overscope for a single person. I had a lot of mixed feelings about the situation and considered various options. But after thorough co…
- Version 0.5.0 is live! - 1 January 2025
Hi everyone! The new, major version of Synthetica: Cyber Club Manager is live. This is a huge milestone for the project because the core gameplay is here. You can craft and level up your Android workers, match them with clients' desires, buy new parts, participate in dialogues, and manage your club for days. This is amazing, but much work remains. We can switch our focus to content and secondary gameplay mechanics, such as research, boosts, perks, ratings, etc. I hope we can start public playtests in a few months and that you will join us in the unique world of cyber club management! Changelist: A full-scale dialogue system with interactive events, stories, and results. Interact with your clients and help them solve their issues and problems. Reworked client interaction and overall behavior in the club. Clients can finally wait for the free spot and walk around the club. The overall int…

- Version 0.4.3! - 6 October 2024
Hi everyone! As you may have noticed, we switched from 2D pixel art to 3D. It was a hard decision, but overall, it would greatly improve both the quality of the game and the speed of development because our team's expertise in 3D is much higher. Today we finally have a stable playable build with the new art style and reworked, well, everything? Most of the pixel-version legacy is gone (except for some icons and the overall UI) and the new 3d club, androids, and clients are already in the game.
- Version 0.3.0! - 10 July 2024
Hi everyone! Version 0.3.0 of Synthetica: Cyber Club Manager is live on Steam! We had a bunch of internal builds between 0.2 and 0.3, but from now on, there will be more updates on Steam. We spent a lot of time finalizing the game's vision, features, and most UI mockups. Now we can move to the active production phase and I hope we'll be able to give access to the playtest build in a month or two. Changelog: Skills for your androids! News generation system Another UI overhaul. We redesigned every screen and laid the ground for future UI implementation. New indication for available actions Reworked client queue The player can now open and close the club to control the number of clients The player can finish the interactions with current clients at the end of the day Rent payment is now every 3 days, not each day as before Lots of fixes in UI, AI and core systems Stay tuned for more update…
