Radioactivity - Synthetic Mind Corp.
Quick status update + a small invitation while I build Radioactivity EA.


Liquidators, hello!

A huge thank you to everyone who played the Onboarding demo (including during Next Fest) and left feedback!

TL;DR

  • Work on Radioactivity and regular updates are going to be resumed in November this year

  • I took a small break from creative stupor and built a smaller experience called Tales in Text

  • Lots of changes happened in Radioactivity EA; a detailed update will come in November-December

While you wait…

I would like to invite you to another, smaller title in the meantime, it's a really different adventure experience and very easy going, I believe:

Tales in Text is a growing library of interactive stories that reimagines classic text adventures and point-and-click games by adding a layer of immersion and full multiplayer support with dynamic in-game voice chat.

It will be out in November, and if you liked Radioactivity, you might like that one too. I always lean towards building games that I like to play myself. Perhaps more people might enjoy this format as well. Give it a try when it's out ;)

Small Break is almost over - Radioactivity:

The full EA version of Radioactivity is quite a different beast from the demo.

  • With bigger open world maps, a full dynamic nature that is affected by radiation, unfriendly fauna, or anything lurking around

  • New objectives arrived, together with procedural map generations

  • Full procedural generation (except terrain)

However, the concept became heavy and a bit inconsistent - hence I decided to step away for a bit to come back fresh. Now being fully recharged, I have a clear picture of where we should move with further development.

Little update spoiler - The Fog is Coming; )

Demo

The only question about further work on Radioactivity, and please help me answer it:

Do we want another demo, a proper one, not limited to a mechanics showcase? The one which actually shows how the full game feels to play?

Or shall we just launch already with early access instead of wasting time on a demo, and let everyone actually experience the full game? What is the preference if anyone can step in and comment on?

Community Feedback

Feedback makes any game better. People who take time to provide feedback one way or another are absolutely amazing. I've compiled most feedback into a checklist and tried resolving all of it during this year. Here's the list and what I've done to address it ːsteamthumbsupː:

  1. Unbalanced difficulty – enemy damage, spawn rates, and mission scaling make levels nearly impossible.
    ːsteamthumbsupː Balanced all unit health and damage output, added more types of units with different power levels so new enemies do not feel like a big difficulty spike.
    ːsteamthumbsupːMission scaling adjusted, especially in Easy and Normal modes
    ːsteamthumbsupːEvent missions no longer have bosses in them.

  2. Enemy spawn proximity – enemies appear too close to player units, causing instant wipes.
    ːsteamthumbsupːEnemies now always spawn from a portal, includes an onscreen marker.

  3. Enemy pathing bugs – enemies move through player units, breaking tactical play.
    ːsteamthumbsupːAll units now block enemy unit paths.

  4. Mission design flaws – large enemy numbers in confined spaces remove strategic options.
    ːsteamthumbsupːExpanded on abilities for undead units to deal with large enemy numbers or with sticky positioning.

  5. Slow progression – leveling speed too low for difficulty curve.
    ːsteamthumbsupːUnit leveling speed increased. It is now also tracked and visible in UI.

  6. Lack of player control – units are assigned randomly; no option to choose team composition.
    ːsteamthumbsupːUnits are now a random draft of 2 (on Normal) instead of completely random.

  7. UI problems – poor responsiveness; requires simultaneous use of mouse and keyboard; unresponsive buttons.
    ːsteamthumbsupːImprovements to key bindings and bug fixes

  8. Crashes and freezes – frequent crashes during unit selection and enemy turns.
    ːsteamthumbsupːMultiple of "hung game" and crashes fixed with no currently known game-breaking bug.

  9. Bugs with turn logic – game getting stuck on enemy’s turn.
    ːsteamthumbsupːPathfinding and AI logic improved to end the turn if there are no logical moves.

  10. Inconsistent mechanics – environmental effects (e.g. “fog”) penalize player but not enemies.
    ːsteamthumbsupː All environmental effects now fully apply to both sides

  11. Mission repetition – limited mission variety; same types appear repeatedly.
    ːsteamthumbsupːTwo new mission types

  12. Insufficient testing – unpolished mechanics and balance indicate inadequate QA.
    ːsteamthumbsupː14 patches later and a lot of help from community (thanks Javi)

I hope this update sparks some joy as I now feel the game is where I wanted it to be at launch.

Thanks,

Egi

Darkness and Desire - Drooskati Games

Hello to all adventurers! Whether you are returning for more time in Euchora, or discovering the world for the first time, you're all welcome here! It's about time for us to drop by and give the first development log for the game! In addition, I'll be sharing the first special renders for the game, showcasing two of the lovely ladies you can look forward to interacting with!

First, let me start by saying the important stuff. Development is underway, and the first scenes have already been written. I can tell you that we get into the action fairly quickly this time around, and I know many of you are here for that. Don't worry, the story still comes first! But I'll be putting a bit more focus on those titillating bits that you enjoy!

I'm also crafting some fun, and rewarding, gameplay loops that didn't exist in Between Two Worlds. I know, I know. Some of you are rolling your eyes. "This is a Visual Novel! It's not supposed to have gameplay elements!". If that's how you feel, you will be allowed to skip those, I promise. However, there will be rewards for doing them. So skipping them may cause you to lose out on some scenes.

Darkness & Desire will NOT be released in Early Access. It will be done as a full release from day 1. That means, when it goes on sale, it'll be a full and complete game. Now, that being said, if you want to, you can support the ongoing development of the game. This is entirely optional. People who do support the development will not get any kind of in-game perks or treatment. Those people will not get any kind of special edition DLC. It has no impact to the gameplay experience at all. What is does mean is that those who provide additional support will get access to:

  • More special renders and sneak peeks

  • Additional insight into the progress and progression of development

  • Participate in polls and opinion feedback

  • Early access to beta builds and testing

If this is something you're interested in, you can check out the Patreon at:

Alright, I think that's all for now! I'll be back soon with more information and updates soon!

Dragon Inn - Nordexa
Dragon Inn – Roadmap

Hello adventurers!

Here’s the roadmap for Dragon Inn for the foreseeable future. I’ll continue adding quality-of-life improvements as needed, but these are the major planned features. If I feel the game reaches a stable state sooner than expected, I will begin developing some of these features earlier.


2025

My main goal for the remainder of 2025 is to make Dragon Inn as stable and bug-free as possible. While there are many features I’d love to add, I want to ensure the foundation is solid first. Once I’m confident that the current systems are stable and polished, I’ll move on to expanding the feature set.


2026 – Q1
  • Enemy Token Models

  • Fog of War System

  • 3D Map Creator – Props & Building Materials


2026 – Q2
  • Spell Effects for Premade Spells

  • Improved Range Visualizer for Spells

  • New Cosmetic Materials for the 3D Character Creator

I'm constantly reading and answering to feedbacks from In Game Tool and from Discord Server. Please join the Discord Server If you'd like to request a feature or give any kind of feedback!
