Synthnostate: Sanguinity

Vampire Sim Tech Demo [WORK IN PROGRESS]

Full 3D custom engine for single-player PC RPGs (first-person & turnbased) coded in classic C (with a lot of help from Raylib, and industry-standard Lua scripting).

This is the foundation for several games in various stages of development:

• Synthnostate: Salem - Colonial New England vampire sim with an all-original vampire/sorcery ruleset loosely derived from pre-Hollywood fiction and folklore (NOT Twilight, Interview, VTM, etc)
• Synthnostate: ??? - scifi vampire sim (a very early Godot-based prototype is available below)
• Synthnostate: Crusader Tactics - gunplay-centric turnbased tactics sandbox
• Synthnostate: Crusaders - turnbased alien disclosure conspiracy sim (an old demo version is available)

Development history: This project has been on the drawing board in some form since... 2013? First-person 3D was too ambitious for me at the time, so I started making 2D isometric custom engines, then simple 3D, and finally a Godot-based prototype with PBR textures - then I went back to a custom engine.
