State Machine Workflow in SharePoint
Is it possible to create a state machine workflow for SharePoint in O365 using Visual Studio? Thanks

FYI - the Flows that you create in Microsoft Flow are all, at their core, state machine workflows.
Since you asked about Visual Studio workflows, I assume you are familiar with web services. I have an article that discusses using WebAPI services to interact with Flow that may be helpful.
Also, Flow is built upon Azure Logic Apps, which certainly could support a state-machine workflow.

I realize this is a long time in coming but thank you.
- Yes,
It is possible...bear in mind that a workflow created with Visual Studio can be:
(1) Packaged as a sandbox solution if you are creating the workflow as a standalone component
(2) Packaged as a part of an Add-in if you are creating the workflow as part of an Add-in
In both cases I'm talking about SP 2013 workflows, no the legacy ones
