I am the programmer / designer of SYNTH. (Rhys Hovey) A C64/COCO2 kid at heart (I think I'm still a 64 kid :),. I've worked at several games companies,. EA,Ubisoft,Rockstar,Climax,.. and "others",.. I've worked very hard to try to bring you a unique experience with SYNTH(tm),. check it out,.. but make sure you have a good CPU and GPU :),.. Making this 3D game and it's graphics all with C++ programming, left optimization secondary :) (it's not that bad though) it's an 8 thread app :)

Check out these new screenshots of DAMSIN:PANDORA. Yip, eventually DAMSIN:PANDORA, is going to be doing some very crazzy proceedural generation and precomputing, for the massive "science experiment" that is SYNTH video game. (STILL AT v1.666),. but this changes, at some point, and SYNTH and DAMSIN will be together at last, on your 8 core system,. probly needing somewhere on the lines of >1300 shader units (at least!) and yes,.. work on these projects is in "progress" still.

oh yeah,. with DMM, only the "Main screen" has ever been seen before, on the INTERNET. So you can see it "grow". This is one of the new screens (>10 screens now in total). over 2000 buttons. Very quick and easy to operate.

These screenshots are an interface for DMM the "SYNTH" in SYNTH. It's graphics are 100% scaling, procedural openGL, so zoom on in, and check out their "native resolution". Check it out!

rhyshovey - - 136 comments @ SYNTH / DAMSIN "new screenshots of DMM"

This new "simplified" but more "HOT" screenshot of DAMSIN is the "new look". Since it's scalling RASTER openGL, it's best to zoom into the native resolution and "C for yourself!". Yip much like SYNTH the interface is 100% procedural, and uses some of the cool from SYNTH.

Here is that DOWNLOAD LINK one again from IBM, if you are interested in the new "synthesis" engine for "synth" video game, and "damsin music machine" called "WAVESPACE" it's built into the "DAMSIN MUSIC MACHINE" groove studio, in which "synth" plays it's TUNES in the jukebox in the background!!

It appears that most people are INDEED downloading this game from my WEB SITE, or IBM, or Skydrive. I was not able to get the download from GAMEFRONT servers, maybe Moddb, will put it on their systems, and it will be available. Things are getting really out of hand of how much this game is supposed to be "not C" art at the moment. DDos attacks,. floods,. the numbers are getting "up" so, it's a battle.

Love to hear from someone about performance on a "660" ti,. they have like 1300 shaders, and my 560 Ti, has like 380 or something weird. 6-7 is my min framerate on the 560 Ti. It makes me agro,. but the game is looking good.

as for ATI,. I think they will fix the problem before I do,. in fact it may be working already,. some other video cards could be on the rise as well in the next few years,. this all is really openGL 2.0 with GLSL,. nothing to incompatible. No "nvidia" specific extensions were used. just arb stuff really.

This is a "real time" promo shot of some of the new "holographic" looking -volumetric- 3D textures. Very cool. Tons of great looking things coming in the future for these new high memory nvidia's like the "660" line (2GB!!). Running my 560 Ti pretty slow,. "ruining the project" even with this video card, gameplay greatly lamed at 7 FPS. But the 3D surface math is HOT! The project trudges on,. I'd love to hear from some people who have some "upper end" GPU's and see what kind of frame rates you get. HINT: Burning SYNTH to CD, can help the frame rate. Download it, burn it, and play it from the CD. It should "not" have an affect, but it may. Always the whole "MOS SLOW" thing,. you just never know,. I'd like to hear from people.

This program is WINDOWS7-64 Bit Only, BTW, nVidia only (still :( ), required at least a QUAD CORE cpu. I spend at least a few days trying to fix the ATI compatibility, and was unsuccesful, I'm still think I'm crashing their driver. Let me know what you experience.

As for working at CAT-freddie, right now, this is not my "OFFICIAL COO COO KAHN" 2012 release,. that's coming up at version 1.666. But there is some great new stuff here,. esepcially if the sound was not working 100%,. I'm using my high end audio hardware again, with a vista driver on Windows7, after fixing my SB-X-fi-ti. The fix should be alomst universal, and this should be pretty much crackle free audio across the board. After all DirectSound8 is an emulation now, which is actually a good thing! Long live DAMSIN MUSIC MACHINE and SYNTH video game , version 1.665 DOWNLOAD IT TODAY,. only 35MEGS!!
