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.)
