I am the programmer / designer of SYNTH. (Rhys Hovey) A C64/COCO2 kid at heart (I think I'm still a 64 kid :),. I've worked at several games companies,. EA,Ubisoft,Rockstar,Climax,.. and "others",.. I've worked very hard to try to bring you a unique experience with SYNTH(tm),. check it out,.. but make sure you have a good CPU and GPU :),.. Making this 3D game and it's graphics all with C++ programming, left optimization secondary :) (it's not that bad though) it's an 8 thread app :)

Oh, by the way, my new CONTACT info is: (rhyshovey@gmail.com) has been hijacked, and I am locked out of it.
Yes folks here it is, after many months SYNTH version 1.666 (MASTERS RELEASE) is HERE at MODDB !!
Here are some of the highlights:
- MASTERING SECTION of "complex wavespace" SYNTH, takes away "MUFFLED" sound!! (major fix)
- ALL new "holographic" 3D volumetric textures !! (very pretty!!)
- Many gameplay motion enhancements, including soft cieling, blending.
- Tokens now give "life, and wind, and bomb". (what were those colored tokens for??)
- Major graphical Cleanups and enhancements.
- All new mastered "soundtrack" with jukebox.
- New easier directions and "manual" included.
- Bug fixes (bugs?? should be near 0)
If you've never experienced SYNTH video game, v1.666 is a H*LL of a TIME TO TRY!!

OH MY,.. this video is ANCIENT ANCIENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the compliments :),. SYNTH is slow I know,. unfortuantly optimizations take a lot of time (i'm the math-artist and programer),. I decided to have more game, instead of a faster,. less detailed game,. some of the graphical tricks in there are -really- expensive as well (texture fetch H_LL),. not to mention that SYNTH is now a "10 thread" application. BUT I do have some good news for anyone who is interested,. the latest version in download has a framerate increase of around 20% or more from the previoous (depending on GPU),. so you shouod see something better,.
This is my computer specs and framerate (at opening,. "in game")
9 FPS (on open)
2.33 CORE 2 DUO with 4 Megs Cache
nVidia 9800 GTX+ (512)
DDR2 667 (dual ported)
The good news for SYNTH is that on my system,. the GPU is 25% idle still so within the next few months I may be able to harnass this,. my CPU is kinda slow though,.
Hey, I tried out your game SYNTH. I was getting 9 - 15 FPS. Awesome game, confusing at first. I figured it out, though.
This is what I played it on:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.9GHz
GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB (Stock)
4096 MB DDR2 [391.1 MHz (16:15) @ 4-4-4-12]
So, I'd have to say.. that's a lot of code and calculation. I can run Crysis maxed with around 30 - 40 FPS. lol Great job!
did you try version 1.666 ?? It's new. Much cooler!
