It's been almost two weeks since the Alter Evo Launch, and it's a huge relief to have the game out in the wild. It's been inspiring to see YouTubers like oboeshoetwos cover Alter Evo on their own accord. We were amazed that he picked up on our David Lynch inspiration and felt validated by his compliments on our surrealist aesthetic. We've also been grateful for everyone who has left a review. W…

At its core, Alter Evo is a save the princess story with a dark twist. Brunilda is wanted dead because of a video game that she made. What's her game within the game? It's called Solitaria , a disturbing art house project that went viral. But the attention it brought was the wrong kind. As the daughter of a wealthy, corrupt patriarch, Brunilda becomes a sitting duck - first for public ridicule…

After working on a game for six years, you start to forget why you even started it... The hardest part is watching other games blow up and thinking: Why are we spending years on a narrative game when we could pivot to a smaller, mechanics-driven design and gain traction a lot faster? Yet, we always come back to the same conclusion. Why did we stick with it? Because our core inspiration has neve…

Some people have been asking why we chose the name Alter Evo? First and foremost, it is an abbreviation of 'Altered Evolution' - this ties into several of the themes in the game. 1. Technology and how it alters the evolution of a species. We see a variety of characters whose lives are affected by technology, whether that is the Negative Agents, who are no longer considered humans, despite havin…
There is something really satisfying about collecting ammo in horror games. Why is it so addicting to search around a level for that extra box of pistol rounds? Maybe it's because it feels like progress. You get a little bit stronger the more bullets you have - you are better prepared for your next enemy encounter. With three unique weapons to choose from, collecting ammo became a core part of…

We've spent the past month creating and implementing animations for the Henchmen. One play tester noted that our Henchmen felt too static, so we've focused on creating dynamic movements that show case the mechanical nature of their bodies and make them more reactive to gun fire. Headshot Stagger Animation : Triggered when you shoot the Henchmen’s chin or visor. This long stagger buys you time t…
