Another busy month at Modern Synthetic.  This month was spent doing a lot of polish, thanks to an amazing Beta tester we had enough to go through a full polish pass. 

More scene transitions and art has been implemented in order to make things really feel like an interactive visual novel not a text-based interactive novel with some incidental art.  The display was prettied up and we got some nice polish adjustments like displaying a day and week as opposed to a numerical day.  We also cleaned up the events interface to improve its logic and provide a solid base for

Another much-requested feature involved more programming than we've done so far, a character screen which will summarize your stats, what 'ware you have implanted, and your inventory.

But not everything was just polish, we also finished up all the shopping, some more events, and a special segment of day burning the midnight oil for those true cyberpunks that are willing to alter their metabolism with 'ware or drugs, including an Easter egg and some other fun events.

If you want to be one of those valuable beta testers, please leave us a comment!

Time for the midmonth stat check to keep us honest!  Every 15th of the month (A day early because of the short month this month) we'll post up some basic stats on the growth of the game. Right now here's what our automated test tool is telling us: Statistics: The game contains 1,242 dialogue blocks, containing 24,457 words and 137,305 characters, for an average of 19.7 words and 111 characters per block. The game contains 56 menus, 22 images, and 27 screens.

A new year, and a new build in the works!

Hello everyone! After taking some much-needed holiday time for us (and a vacation to Las Vegas by the head dev) we're back and ready for action! At the moment we're waiting on playtesting feedback, and still desperately seeking playtesters willing to help with the process! Not everything has been waiting and twiddling our thumbs though, we've added the start of each romance and friendship path! The evening period of the day isn't quite playing out the way we like, so we're looking at options to rewrite it to see you spending less time at home and more time out socializing! Expect updates soon! If you're interested in beta testing, drop us a comment, plenty of people are still needed!
