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!

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.

Anyways, that's it for this update, and see you soon :)
