Development on SYNTHESIS is moving along nicely... Here are a few screenshots of progress made:

New title screen and UI elements for key events

Thought I'd share it and see what people think of the new aesthetic! 🐻

Getting SENTINEL 519: SAGA - GENESIS to production took a LOT of mobile optimisation.

Seeing the Google Play review analysis today and watching that hard work actively pay off is an incredible feeling.

Can't wait to show you what's next in SYNTHESIS! 🐻

Extremely excited to show some early gameplay for SENTINEL 519: SAGA - SYNTHESIS! 🐻

Though it's still early in the dev cycle and currently in Closed Alpha, it is a bit surreal to see 2 games side-by-side under the Appy Bear Studio label.

It might seem like a small thing, but it feels like a massive milestone and emotional highlight!

The universe is expanding! 🐻

#indiegamedev

A new frame. A fractured memory. A new adventure awaits.

I am incredibly proud to officially reveal the title for the sequel to Sentinel 519: SAGA. Welcome to SYNTHESIS.

Let me know your thoughts on the new title in the comments! 🐻

#indiegamedev #sentinel519 #synthesis #appybearstudio

You didn't think I would leave you with just a screenshot, did you?

Though I am heads-down in full development, here is a small glimpse into the story of my next title.

A new environment. A new story. A new adventure awaits!

Let me know your theories in the comments!

On that note, I'll be slowing down my posts for a bit. I love sharing the process of making a game, but on the flip side, managing multiple social channels, SENTINEL 519 updates, video editing, and more is a huge undertaking for a solo dev.

To keep momentum, I'll be sporadic with posts for a while!

Currently polishing the tutorial for my next game. Not ready to showcase as yet, but here is a screenshot of dialogue from the start of the game. (Yup ... it really doesn't show anything!)
