​For your eyes only: Explore the infinite underground caverns of Lucidar, an early-stage glimpse of Syn3h's next-gen terrain system. Last week's orbital camera has also seen a number of refinements, including finer input locking control and a cinematic screenshot capture mode.

Syn3h's new notification and update manager will automatically remind you from inside the game when next week's release is available. Large numbers of active bots should now be more stable (thanks Juest), and Linux builds are back thanks to a bugfix by our friends at Unity! The bots aren't yet smart enough to steer away from walls when following you deep underground, but  a dynamic pathfinding system is in the works. You may experience rendering glitches in this release, the new terrain engine is still being optimized. Freestyle and Xylia are also (temporarily) no longer infinite. Enjoy!

This week's build includes the fully operational orbital camera system, with smart terrain avoidance and a freeroaming mode which activates when motion is paused. Xylia is back with time control and a new ocean system, horizon visibility is significantly increased, Freestyle's lava is beginning to receive some love, and a number of atmospheric effects have returned with optimizations.​

​Greetings friends! This week, we traveled back in time to bring you the first world ever to be included in Syn3h's forerunner, Mars Explorer. Plot twist: this time around, Freestyle is INFINITE. We also upgraded the buggy. It now includes taillights, smoother braking, ever-so-satisfying rollover physics, and a physically-simulated metallic paint job.

Other new features include a dynamic origin float system which solves the flickering shadow issues that you have seen in the last several releases and keeps all physical simulations operating at a maximum level of accuracy. The controller window now includes a speedometer, altimeter, and indication of how far you have explored. The lobby holodeck has seen several visual enhancements, including a starfield reconfiguration and upgraded button styling. Xylia is currently in the shop for repairs, but she'll be back next week with a slew of new upgrades under the hood. The orbital camera is also still in development, and dedicated Linux builds will be returning shortly.
