| Oct 26, 2026 | 1.92.4 — Tutorial white glare fixed 1.92.4 is live now on the full game and the demo. One fix in this build: the white glare on the tutorial floor. A player on an NVIDIA RTX 5050 laptop sent two tutorial reports with screenshots, and they showed the real cause — and a correction to my earlier notes: this glare was NOT the Intel/AMD shader calculation. The tutorial arena's sun sat only 28 degrees above the horizon. In 1.92.4 the sun |

| Oct 23, 2026 | 1.92.3 — CALL TO ARMS: report bugs, offer suggestions, build the game YOU want CALL TO ARMS — help build the game YOU want Synapse Grid is a solo-dev game, and in the last month it has been shaped more by players pressing one button than by anything on my roadmap. This post is the next build, a thank-you, a look back at what you fixed — and an ask: keep them coming. Press SPACE in any match — playing, paused, or on the results screen — to open the bug reporter. Fly the froze |

| Oct 18, 2026 | 1.92.0 — the tutorial's finale no longer ends the moment it starts 1.92.0 — the tutorial's finale no longer ends the moment it starts Fixed: GRID IGNITION's last lesson The final lesson of mission 1 is "your trail never fades, survive your own line", and it is the one place in the tutorial where the walls close in. A player on Steam Deck reached it and the mission ended one second later, reading "SURVIVED 0:01 · TAIL 100054". Their in-game report showed two fault |

| Oct 3, 2026 | Demo Patch — Online Multiplayer Clarified as Unproven Beta The free demo is live — beta, honest, and upfront about what it is. WHAT'S IN THE DEMO: - 90-mission campaign (subset) - 2–4 player local split-screen - Built-in map editor - Arena combat with light trails WHAT'S NOT READY: Online multiplayer. The netcode is in the build, but it has NOT been proven across real connections. Do not download the demo expecting working online play. Treat it as unfinis |

| Sep 13, 2026 | 1.89.0 — Ring Circuit is clear, Vantablack is 60, SPACE reports reach us 1.89.0 is live (build 138) Pushed yesterday to the full game and the free demo (Windows and Linux / SteamOS). Today''s change is on the intake side: when you press SPACE, mark a spot and SAVE, that report now reaches us. Ring Circuit Vector The pink X-braces at the start gantry no longer cross the road you launch through. The arch, clock ticks and pillars stay. (From the reports on that mission.) |
