ABOUT
▧ Inspiration
With Synthetik we wanted to bring new depth and mechanics to the genre while leaving a lot of freedom for experimentation and different play-styles. It is inspired by the late 90’s Era of games, when people put in all the features they enjoyed without the minimalism and streamlining. As such, Synthetik offers unique depth but with a demanding learning curve that is worth climbing.
▧ Flow Fire Games
Flow Fire Games was founded 2015 by Alexander Luck and Eric Krutten after doing projects at the Game Devopment Academy in Berlin, Germany.
Starting with engine plug-ins to fund their first game, Synthetik released after 3 years of Development to great player reception.
Throughout the development of the sequel, Synthetik 2, the team (including external assistance) had a peak of over 20 members but then stabilized on a small handful, forming an highly agile team. The development of both games was entirely self funded.
Flow Fire Games is dedicated to making games with high depth, unique mechanics and visceral combat and known for their high interaction with players.
▧ Design Pillars
The foundation of the game builds upon Challenge, Progression, Mastery and Discovery.
Some of our most important design principles for the Synthetik series are below.
- Combat must feel outstanding
- Lose (not all) progression on death, high stakes
- Outgame progression should not dictate difficulty
- Depth over simplification
- Build up complexity over time, give opportunities for mastery
- Every playthrough should be different
- Have at least 2 versions of everything
- Always try add rare occurances
- Mechanics &Enemies should be fair, playthroughs shouldn't
