SYNTHETIK 2 finally launches into Early access on Steam and is out NOW!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can find the full feature list patchnotes above!
Spoilers: It's pretty big

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find a rough roadmap in the in-game pause menu for the next 2 weeks, a full one will follow soon. The next patch with some new content and plenty of changes based on your feedback + the Recon class is expected next week or the update after.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game is playable up to and includes the first version of the final boss, so it does not cut off at half
Please keep in mind that the multiplayer has been delayed (too many new features which need polish first) The build also includes the full modding suite. Please check out the full S2 Feature post!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We hope you enjoy the launch of the early access version! A lot of work went into making Synthetik 2 the best it can be and we hope to get you on board right away! Much is to do and much is to come, this is only the beginning!

Especially now at the start is the best time to shape the game with us and you actually also have the same tools to do so!

Have fun! - Team FFG






For the people who already joined early access and gave their input, we already did many
sweeping changes based on your feedback!

You can now recycle items in the upgrade menu "U" (or ESC)
This is a rudimentary first implementation

Due to the attachment workshops not working as well as hoped due to the big levels,
attachments are now purchased through an upgrade button in the weapon menu.
We will add more polish to the menu interactions and popups in the near future.

We noticed the game is way way longer than Synthetik 1 and does feel too stretched, which also made balancing of loot very strange. We now moved the mainboard level as an alternative to Oilrig, and you will get to Arctic afterwards now. This makes the game shorter and adds more variation, while also allowing for better loot and less stretched content. It will probably still be longer than S1 but we keep an eye out. Keep in mind that Arctic still needs work and will be improved next week.
You will get more non-weapon chests and terminals due to the map change as well.



- Terminals and chests have been slightly increased
- Attachment workbench removed for the new system mentioned above
- New Stat upgrade chest
- Chests have improved visuals

We are aware of the pacing issues in some areas, but we do think this is mostly due to enemy spawns and level layouts, less from actual in-fight speed, this issue has a pretty high priority for us.

- Movement speed slightly increased for all classes
- Base Grenadier Frictionless boots gain movement speed buff due to the long dash cooldown
- Base Chrono Trooper movementspeed slightly increased
- Increased reload speed across the board

- Increased Exp gain by around 150%

- Pickups now have info popups
- Added a dark overlay for abilities on cooldowns (will be expanded to other areas)
- Removed display of charges recharge time if not needed
- Item / Weapon popups now show the weapon rarity color
(more cooldown / charges display improvements are coming next week)
- Mod upload has a better explaination
- Keybinding rebinding now works again
- Added character to End screen back (end screen will be improved soon)
- 16:10 improvements
- Improved weapon ammo display on right side

- Varied performance improvements
- Added static shadows, still work in progress

- Better default audio volume
- Improved audio mix slightly in some areas

- Varied small map improvements
- Breaching charges projectiles ares now shorter
- Curses work
- Shock grenade launcher damage increased
- Deathstick damage increased
- Riotguard tear-gas no longer affects friendlies / self
- Chrono trooper chrono charge has better feedback

- Last Defender now works as it should
Edit: apparently still shy, fixing on monday

- Many fixes






We hope you enjoy!
The next update is coming next week, stay tuned! A roadmap will also follow soon.
Don't forget to play with UniversEdit!

Hello all bioluminescence enthusiasts! Are you ready to dive into the science of Biolum? Hold your breath because the ethereal beauty of earth’s lesser explored areas, bioluminescent flora and fauna are still a mystery to many.

You might not know this, but fireflies are an example of the bioluminescence we witness on land. They’re reputable for their synchronous light displays, a chemical reaction occurring within their bodies in order to attract a mate. They are often found in open fields or in forests near water and have long been a source of fascination for biologists, but they’re easier to access in comparison to other forms of bioluminescent life, those that exist in the depths of the deep sea.



Down in the inky blackness of the ocean, where the light begins to dwindle, the underwater crannies and caves are home to a wealth of bioluminescent diversity that has been barely touched. Scientists have discovered a number of life forms that can only be described as magical, from The Firefly Squid (pictured above) which emits jewels of light from its underbelly, camouflaging its silhouette against the sea surface; to The Flashlight Fish, a badass looking creature that darts around the ocean with its eye-like luminous organs.
These bioluminescent creatures are an example of nature’s beauty and bizarreness combined. The latter of the underwater organisms, pictured to the right, has organs under its eyes that contain a bioluminescent bacteria. The bacteria produces the dazzling light, and enables the fish to communicate with each other via the blink of an eye, just like a built-in headlamp! A fishy creature that would freak anyone out if they ran into one.



Whilst scientists have discovered an array of natural life, from fish to fungi, there is still fascination surrounding how and why this luminosity occurs. It is believed by many scientists to be a language of light, and since 76 percent of ocean animals are bioluminescent that would make it the most spoken language on earth! But studying the phenomenon has proven difficult, as access to the deep, dark depths of the ocean, where much of this nature thrives, is often impossible for humans. The renowned marine biologist, Edith Widder, said during a TED talk that “one of the things that’s frustrated me, as a deep-sea explorer, is how many animals there probably are in the ocean that we know nothing about because of the way we explore the ocean”, and she’s not wrong. Accessed either via nets on the back of ships, that drag through the ocean collecting such creatures in an undignified way, or submersibles and remote-operated vehicles, both of which often exhaust their bioluminescent ability when captured or the process damages their light producing organs.

Creators Abel Kohen and John Rowe were inspired by the mystery of these bioluminescent creatures. In Biolum, we meet the Needlehead Worm. This creature infects individuals by passing up through the food chain and is the source of light that radiates throughout the underworld area being explored. An abundance of luminosity within a corner of the ocean, it’s a feast for the eyes. The captivating impact of virtual reality is achieved via a careful yet creative combination of many elements, including interactivity, visuals and audio. An underwater setting provides the perfect scene for these elements to be explored.

The recreation of bioluminescent nature is done in a bespoke way, and has allowed for prefrontal cortex to develop and apply effects, such as a complex lighting system, using procedural shaders and optimized real-time lights designed to replicate the luminescence of the creatures and vegetation (such as corals, kelp, and seagrass) that are featured. Biolum is an example of what can be achieved when you mix the intricacies of technology with an artistic idea, and combine biological fact with the imagination. And if that’s lit up your imagination, stick with us for the next article, when we’ll be chatting to indie dev, Paul Kirsten, about how he and the prefrontal cortex team, including lead technical artists, Felix Herbst and Tim Schuster, transformed the story idea into (virtual) reality.
