  LAST 5 HOURS FOR KICKSTARTER!

  Hi everyone! IT'S THE FINAL DAY FOR SYNTH BEASTS' KICKSTARTER!!! We've been having an absolutely amazing week, and yesterday was no different - we're now 360% funded!!! In the last Kickstarter post I announced how we added one final stretch goal to the game, and how that was the Battle Tower, a tough as nails post-game location inspired by Pokemon's Battle Frontier. We're so so close to reaching it, we need to get to 400% and we're currently at 360%. If we just do slightly better than yesterday, we'll get it! So, if you want to help us reach this final (and extremely cool) stretch goal, anything would be ultra appreciated, whether that's through backing, increasing your pledge, or sharing the project around with friends! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44090564/49da370ac4229e56230de26e23d1e546c66a6aea.png I also wanted to announce that 2 days ago I uploaded a new YouTube devlog that covers Synth Beasts' recurring rival boss! It covers not only what it plays like, but also the decision-making that went into making it a well designed and balanced boss. If that sounds like something that interests you, watch it below! Either way if you want to help us reach the 400% Battle Tower stretch goal, make sure to support us as it's your final chance! We also have some leftover tiers, such as the "Create a Beast" one, so make sure to get those if you want to be involved in the game's development creatively! Again, this is the last chance! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44090564/fd527e0e29e17521c91b8e4b86c671be93bb611c.png Anyways, that's it for this update, and thank you all so much for the incredible support! The whole campaign has been amazing, but this last week has been especially so :) As I mentioned before, if you want to help us reach the 400% Battle Tower stretch goal, backing, increasing your pledge, or sharing the project around with friends would be incredibly helpful! Thanks again for everything, and see you in the next update! Conrad, Lead Developer

  Demo OUT NOW + Crowdfunding RELEASE!

  Hi everyone! 4 months ago I announced that Synth Beasts would be coming to Kickstarter, and... I'm excited to announce that it has JUST LAUNCHED! Check out the campaign here. It's a Monster Taming Action RPG, so think Pokemon with real-time combat and a Metroidvania-inspired open world. It's also got a free demo here on Steam, so go check it out on the store page! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44090564/5d3e6a969ff277ac8707992a0eac547c08270c9f.png There are 2 main reasons I decided to bring Synth Beasts to Kickstarter: Firstly, while the game's core development is almost done, I want to bring it to as many platforms as possible. With Soul Stalker, we initially planned to only bring it to Steam and Switch, but because of our awesome porting partners at Origami Panda Studio, we were also able to bring it to Xbox and PlayStation! Now that we have experience doing all of this, I wanted to continue doing so with Synth Beasts, and the Kickstarter make this possible! Secondly, I absolutely loved involving the community in our previous games' development. Some of the best items, characters, and monsters were all designed by you guys through the creative backer tiers, and Synth Beasts is doubling down on that. Some of Synth Beasts' creative tiers include: Design a Boss ➜ Create its look, mechanics, and backstory. Build an Island ➜ Craft a whole explorable area with lore, puzzles, and combat. Create a Synth Beast ➜ Bring your own playable monster to life. Make a Gizmo ➜ Invent an equippable item that alters creature abilities, inspired by Hollow Knight’s Charm system. Build a Statue ➜ Immortalise yourself on the Hero’s Isle with custom visuals and an inscription. Form an NPC ➜ Bring yourself to life as one of the game's scientists! You get to decide what the NPC says! Message in a Bottle ➜ Leave riddles, secrets, or heartfelt notes for players to discover. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44090564/2bae74242d2d6c1a353fa5e0e8eb485066adffc5.gif If Synth Beasts sounds like your kind of game, make sure to ...
