Hey there, awesome gang!
Welcome back for our 20th Update!! Once again, thank you so much for your incredible support since the beginning of Altered Alma’s journey! Every wishlist, every message and every moment we share together alongside our dear Jack, keeps us moving forward!
Hope Spooky season treated y’all well, and you’re getting ready for the Holliday's! Let’s get into this month’s updates!
Developer Updates 🎮
1. Feature Spotlight
Killshifts
We know you like when that Bladeshift turns into a Killshift… Oil and blood spilling everywhere as you finish your enemies in the most stylish and brutal way possible!
Sweeper Bot
Do not confuse this little friend with a regular Roomba you can find in your home… this heavily modified sweeper bot tends to stain the streets with the blood of those who decide to underestimate them.
Maybe just better walk past them, those spikes look really sharp.
2. Enemies, Threats, and Combat Adjustments
We’ve been hearing your feedback on different areas of the game, and we went to work into improving them, here are a few things we improved:
- Parry – Adjusted the timing and responsiveness when parrying enemy attacks.
- Bladeshift visual effects – Improved the visual effects of the Quantum Blade Impact and Shifting for better feeling.
- Enemy Effects – Enemy killshift and unstoppable attacks are more visible for easier maneuvering.
- Tutorial – Improving the tutorial section for a more natural learning of the base mechanics
Looks a little… Spiky
3. The world of Altered Alma
The streets of Neo Barcelona keep growing and becoming more dangerous, but that is part of the charm, isn’t it?
- Environmental Effects: Different particles, effects and lightings were added to bring more life and style to the biome environments.
- Romance: You may see them in the Demo and the Trailer, we are adding more… Spice, to the romance for those who decide to take the flirting route!
- Storytelling: As development goes, Jack's story expands too, improving the dialogue systems, items and assets, strengthening the bond between world design and story.
Jumpers
There are multiple ways to move around the city! The jumper pads are one of them. You can’t reach because it’s too high? No problem, just bounce on them, and they’ll give you the impulse to reach new spots to hang, dash or blade shift.
4. Las Ramblas
The most well-known street in the whole Barcelona city center, connecting the Plaça de Catalunya with Port Vell, is a perfect place to visit, or just have a nice walk surrounded by trees!
But in Neo Barcelona it is a whole different story, filled with the most dangerous gangs of the city. And unfortunately for those who wanted a peaceful life, these guys actually learned what the word organized means (kinda).
A huge shoutout to everyone who’s been active on our Discord, giving us your love, support and feedback. Your input has been incredibly valuable and has helped us fine-tune the game and polish the final details. We’ve been taking tons of notes, and your excitement genuinely keeps us going.
With each update, we’re getting closer to bringing this world to life, and we honestly couldn’t do it without you. Thanks for being with us on this journey. We can’t wait to share even more soon.
