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.

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?

Hi again! Last week I visited the Estonian maanteemuuseum. They have a nice collection of different vehicles! The Ural 375, Kraz 256 and Kirovets K700 were especially nice to see.
