Check out Synthaar on Steam, and wishlist today! store.steampowered.com/app/2846840/...

Synthaar's v0.4.2 is here! Explore the galaxy, socialize with friends, stop carrying infants into the cold maw of the void with you when you die! Stay tuned for more updates much sooner than later! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #games #unity3d #videogames

I've just patched Synthaar to V0.4.1, which features a new grid, resolves an issue with burglars swarming your lot, and most notably reduces the game's file size to half without reducing any content. thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #games #unity3d #videogames

Crafting Milestone: Complete! Synthaar hits v0.4.0, featuring experimentation, factories, & more! Check out the dev log discussing the new features & the next steps of development here! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #dev #devlog #indiedev #games #indiegames #solodev #sologamedev

It's #ScreenshotSaturday and today I've got a showcase of the two gambling options present in Synthaar that are coming in 0.4.0, Roulette & Blackjack! These allow you to play with in-game currency using interactive minigames! #gameart #gamedev #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming #pixelart #lifesim

Whew! For this week's #ScreenshotSaturday I have one of the largest models I've made for Synthaar to date; an oil refinery for your own backyard! #gameart #gamedev #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming #pixelart #voxelart #lifesim #videogames

Been doing more work on making 3 tiers for every utility building in Synthaar, and so for #ScreenshotSaturday today I thought I'd share some of that progress, featuring Wind & Solar, Batteries, as well as Water Pumps & Tanks #gameart #gamedev #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming #pixelart #voxelart

Hello there, #ScreenshotSaturday! Today I'm showing off the new Tier 2 and 3 resource harvesters, prepping to conquer the Crafting Milestone as I push toward Synthaar's 0.4.0! Resource collection is key to starting your own industry. #gameart #gamedev #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming #pixelart

Synthaar is now at v0.3.1! Every milestone inevitably needs the follow-up fixes and polishes. Turns out characters couldn't use a toilet if it had water. Oops. Also, the game has a loading bar when starting up! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #games #unity3d

It's #ScreenshotSaturday and this week I've got another planet to show off; Cresros, a frigid and sandy world but far from uninhabitable, with new foliage and rock formations, as well as a new city style. #gameart #gamedev #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming #pixelart

Synthaar's Third Milestone is complete! Pushing the game to 0.3.0, featuring hardships like fires, burglars, dirt & cleaning, and repairing, as well as a new galaxy map and new species! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #dev #devlog #indiedev #games #indiegames #solodev #sologamedev

It's #ScreenshotSaturday! Today I've got a new UI element that shows info on a planet, and a preview of the world. You can also see the demographics of a planet's population. Later this will have even more info and data to review. #gameart #gamedev #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming #pixelart #ui

Last week for #ScreenshotSaturday I showed some pictures of the new species, but on a new planet. Today, I'm able to show off Sotolus, a new planet with pink trees and teal grass, with a new building style with onyx skyscrapers. #gameart #gamedev #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming #pixelart

@yesboxstudios.bsky.social Metropolis 1998 is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time and I cannot wait to play the full game when it comes out. I am personally in awe of how smooth it runs even with so much going on. This is exactly the kind of SimCity successor I've been waiting for.

It's time for a progress report, and I've written a dev log for Synthaar about what has been added, what will be added, and the next steps of the journey. Check out the new galaxy map! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #dev #devlog #indiedev #games #indiegames #solodev #sologamedev

It's #ScreenshotSaturday and for today, Synthaar has quite a few new aliens on the way to play! From avians to fish, from big lizards to Human offshoots, Synthaar's galaxy has never been so diverse! #gameart #gamedev #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming #pixelart

I want to give a shoutout to @polytoots.bsky.social for their amazing Jet Engine VFX Shader tutorial with Amplify to create this beautiful thruster effect that I've used for the ships in Synthaar. I recommend checking out their YouTube channel! #gameart #gamedev #indiedev

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday I want to introduce Synthaar's very first Starship! This will be the first of many, and is a first step in exploring the galaxy. This ship is a small one-seater starfighter. #gameart #gamedev #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming

Good Morning and Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Today I've got a preview of the Emblem Creator in Synthaar, where you will be able to create emblems for your legacy, as well as any governments you might one day take over! #gameart #gamedev #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming

Hello everyone! I've got something cool for today's #ScreenshotSaturday! I've been working on expanding and fleshing out the galaxy, and improving the galaxy map in Synthaar. This is showing the territory maps as colored regions. #gameart #gamedev #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming

Starting off this year with a new patch that fixes some issues revolving around task cancelling, some quality of life updates, and reduced save game sizes! Check out Synthaar V0.2.8! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #games #videogames #patch #update #unity3d

I've made a guide on the various commands available in Synthaar, for the use of cheating or testing. As I add more commands through development, I'll update this post. If you have an idea for a good command, let me know! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #lifesim #indiedev #games

I've written a Dev log on my progress thus far, and how I am going to be reorganizing my Dev plan and roadmap. Here's to a productive 2026 for Synthaar! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #devlog #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #itchio #videogames #games #lifesim #simulation #indiegamedev

Introducing version 0.2.7! - Memory Leak Fix & New Objects! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #games #videogames #patch #indiegamedev #update #unity3d

Synthaar is 50% off for Itch's Halloween Sale! Happy Halloween! (The best holiday) itch.io/s/164412/hal...

Introducing V0.2.6 for Synthaar! This is a big polishing update, which intended to have more, but it was critical to get the Unity Security Update published ASAP. Enjoy! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #games #videogames #patch #indiegamedev #update #unity3d

Maybe I'm a bit dumb but it was rather confusing trying to figure out how to update Unity to patch out the security issue. It's a shame that the Unity Hub seemingly doesn't have a feature to automatically recommend the best new version and download it automatically. #gamedev #unity3d #unity

Had an amusing bug in Synthaar where if your character was unemployed, and you met another character who was unemployed, then it registered you both as coworkers. I guess that's... technically true? Co..unworkers? #gamedev

Synthaar has been updated to V0.2.5! In this update, previews for crafting and governments make their debut, as well as two new species, keybinding, and bug fixes! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #games #videogames #patch #indiegamedev #update

Check out the Dev log I've written on Synthaar's crafting system! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #devlog #crafting #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #itchio #videogames #games #lifesim #simulation

Synthaar has been updated to V0.2.4! This update features a fair few fixes and an overhaul to eating and meal prep. We're also getting closer to finishing this next milestone! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #games #videogames #patch #indiegamedev #update

Good morning, #ScreenshotSaturday! I've been working on overhauling eating and meal prep in Synthaar, and I finally have the characters put their meals on the table, and show their progress on finishing their meals! #gameart #gamedev #art #dev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming #pixelart #voxelart

Hurray, it's #ScreenshotSaturday! For this week, I've finally implemented corner pieces for counters, that will auto-convert when it detects a corner. I'm really happy to finally have this done! #gameart #gamedev #art #dev #indiegames #indiedev #indiegamedev #gaming #pixelart #voxelart #ui

It's #ScreenshotSaturday! I've been working mostly on systems that go behind the scenes and haven't been interesting to show off, but I do have the new UI designed for governments and politics underway! #gameart #gamedev #art #dev #indiegames #indiedev #indiegamedev #gaming #pixelart #voxelart #ui

Well that can't be good for the environment. #gamedev

Working on some fire effects for Synthaar, for when your base inevitably burns down to the ground; because what life simulation doesn't have the cleansing power of flame? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #vfx #art #indiegamedev #indiegames #gaming #videogames

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! For this week, I've got some shots of a new park with new decorations and assets to show off, including the new Mission Terminals getting ready for the implementation of missions! #gameart #gamedev #art #dev #indiegames #indiedev #indiegamedev #gaming #pixelart #voxelart

Working on implementing a sort of fog of war in Synthaar that will make missions interesting by blacking out the lighting. While experimenting with it, I made this really cool little striking scene with the lone light on. #gamedev #art #gameart #pixelart #voxelart #indiegamedev #indiedev

Synthaar has been updated to V0.2.3! Weapons have been implemented into the game! New tooltips and thought bubbles help you understand your characters needs better. Check it out! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #games #videogames #patch #indiegaming #indie

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday I've got something relatively different to show off. Current progress on implementing the basics of weaponry and combat have been going well, with projectile display and animations implemented! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #art #gameart #pixelart #voxelart

It was heartbreaking to hear that Roberto Orci passed away. I regard Fringe as one of the greatest Science Fiction stories created, and it is my personal absolute favorite show of all time. I hope he gets to have a long and prosperous life "over there." #Fringe

Another update for Synthaar is available! V0.2.2 features new enhancements to jobs in the game, as well as many fixes, including a major fix for users who do not use non-English users! thauxan-studios.itch.io/synthaar/dev... #gamedev #release #lifesim #update #indiegamedev #indiedev

For #ScreenshotSaturday, I'd like to show off my new Career window! The entire character menu has been sized up and redone for better readability and flow. It was a tedious but fun side project! I've also been implementing "work days" as well #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #ui #ux #uiux #gameart

Do any other developers feel like they're going to break everything like they're in an expensive china shop when playing their own game? I always feel like I am one button press away from the entire thing collapsing like a house of cards 😄 #gamedev
