Get in the DevSyn chat room on GameSyn's XMPP network! It really can't be stressed enough; most development of the game is going on in that chat room, and even though you can see some of the things going on from this forum, you are missing out on a lot of discussion that you can contribute on directly! We've been talking about cities, combat, weapons, character development, and general ideas for stories already. There is still a lot to do, but a lot of these topics have been settled upon by a lengthy discussion in the chat room. Basically, the most efficient way you can help with the DevSyn project is to join the chat room and actively discuss the topics we go over!
So go get in it! If you don't know how to join the chat room, follow this news post-
