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 :)

AHH! after many Waldorfian "SOON" promises,. SYNTH 1.0 BETA 0,. is going up in 5 or so minutes for me,.. I'm all excited,. 8-9 months worth of work,. the first level is running at 14-15 FPS on my PC,. and the max framerate is hardlimted to 16 which I find comforable for the game,. (I have a Q9950 with a 9800 GTX+ and XP-32),. the later levels slow down some,. but a LOT has been done to the game,. Melbourne Release (The old synth game,. v0.909) did not even support quad core CPU's at all,. so check it out,. the game is MUCH better looking and "WAY" easier to understand,. the gameplay is now quite a bit different,. and the LAZER have been FIXED,. so SYNTH really is starting to take shape now into a "fractal game",. I consider 1.0 to be the REAL start of this game,. v0.909 was so experimental,. a lot was cut out and replaced,. now synth is a "probabilistic maze game, in a fractillian setting",. first I will upload the 32 bit version, then in a few days,. the 64 bit version. PLEASE NOT THE MANUAL ADDENDUM INCLUDED IN THE ZIP,.
Feel free to comment or ask questions here,. I look at this blog frequently.
THANKS!
Rhys

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!
