Hi Folks!

More year our small indie team has been building Synvector, a sci-fi action RPG that tries to combine several ideas we always wanted to see in one game.

Instead of controlling just a single ship, you command an entire mercenary fleet. During combat you can pause time, issue tactical orders to your squadron, switch between ships, and then jump straight back into fast-paced third-person space combat.

Our biggest inspirations are:

• Everspace
• Elite Dangerous
• Mass Effect
• Mount & Blade

We’re also putting a lot of effort into worldbuilding. The galaxy isn’t just a backdrop—it’s filled with hidden factions, ancient civilizations, political conflicts, mysteries, and choices that shape how different powers react to you.

Today we reached an important milestone: our Steam page is finally live.

If the concept sounds interesting, we’d be incredibly grateful if you checked it out or added it to your wishlist. Every wishlist genuinely helps a small indie team like ours.

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3220640/Synvector/

P.S. Within the next week we’ll open sign-ups for the first prototype playtest, so you’ll be able to try the game much earlier than release.

I’d also love to hear your thoughts:
What part of the concept interests you the most, and what would you want to see in a game like this?

The Shirr-Vag is one of the most common interceptor designs used by the Shrazi clans.

The Shrazi are a militarized civilization divided into rival clans. Alliances are temporary. Power is constantly challenged. Every clan leader knows that today’s ally may become tomorrow’s assassin. As a result, personal security is taken very seriously.

The Shirr-Vag was developed by Clan Shirrek, one of the most influential clans in Shrazi space. Unlike many interceptor designs focused purely on patrol or reconnaissance, the Shirr-Vag was built for one purpose: Protect the clan.

These ships are rarely deployed alone. Most often they operate in hunting packs of three, escorting clan leaders, hunting rivals, intercepting raiders and enforcing clan authority throughout contested systems.

The markings across the hull are not decorative. They identify clan allegiance, achievements and bloodlines. Every symbol tells a story. According to Directorate intelligence, elite Shirr-Vag squadrons are often assigned to the personal protection of high-ranking clan leaders.

In Shrazi society, seeing one Shirr-Vag means someone important is nearby. Seeing three usually means you should leave.

What stands out to you first: the silhouette, the faction markings, or the idea behind the ship itself?

I don’t know what got me thinking about this, but what madness of a genre doesn’t match your fandom at all, but would be an absolute blast to play? Transformers and GOLF is my example, but I want to see how unbelievably absurd y’all’s can get. XD

The first image reminds me of not playing the current game in a while. The second was a separate area with the old Firefly Forest quests.

Hey everyone!

My younger sister loves drawing Rhynocs from the original Spyro 3 on PS1, however she also draws her own Rhynoc designs she wishes were in the game.

Here’s her Roman Warrior Rhynoc she imagines could be in Sunny Villa alongside the other Rhynocs such as the Coward, Centurion or Chicken Club.

Then there’s also Fisherman Rhynoc that could be in Spooky Swamp alongside Slingshot and Shrimpin Rhynocs.

Can you imagine these in the game?
