Nanolith – designer diary #3 – Nanosyncs

Hello and welcome to another designer diary on Nanolith.

Today we're going to take a closer look at the Nanosync Upgrades function of the characters, and I'll talk a little bit about their functions and origins.

So what are the nanosyncs?

This question is relatively easy to explain. Whenever a character uses one of his abilities the character printed at the bottom of the card can spend one of his action dice to support the active character's ability. This makes the active character's abilities even more powerful and helps the players collectively get 200% out of the heroes in dangerous situations.

Yes 200%! A helping hand from your teammate who gives you a die can often tip the scales in your favor, helping you to break through enemy armor or heal your friend's last point of life to turn the tide.

How to get Nanosyncs?

There are a lot of so called Nanostories in Nanolith. These short choose-your-own-adventure stories let the characters and players dive deeper into the world of Neo-Eden. In this way, they give us a glimpse into the lives and problems of the people of this world and present players with difficult decisions to make. The nanosyncs unlock different stickers depending on the choice, which are placed on skill cards as nanosyncs. These stickers show the bond between the characters and give us a sense of the relationships between the heroes. So these bonuses are 100% narrative driven and always dependent on players' choices. As a result, decisions in Nanolith become an important part of the game's tactics and depth, while providing serious consequences.

This question can be explained relatively easily. Whenever a character uses one of his abilities

uses, the character printed at the bottom of the card can spend one of their action dice to support the active character's ability. This makes the active character's abilities even stronger and helps players collectively get 200% out of the heroes in dangerous situations.

Yes 200%! Because often the helping hand of your fellow player who gives you a dice is the tip of the scales that helps break through the opponent's armor or heal the last life point of your friends and thus turn the tide.

How do you get Nanosyncs?

There are a variety of so-called nanostories in Nanolith. These short, choose-your-own-adventure stories allow characters and players to delve deeper into the world of Neo-Eden. They give us an insight into the lives and problems of the people of this world and present the players with difficult decisions that they have to make. Depending on your choice, the Nanosyncs unlock various stickers that are stuck onto skill cards as Nanosyncs. These stickers show the connection between the characters and give us a feeling for the relationships between the heroes. So these bonuses are 100% narrative driven and always dependent on the players' decision. This means that decisions in Nanolith become an important part of the game's tactics and depth and have serious consequences.
