Hey awesome gang!!
Hope you had a Happy New Year and January didn’t become eternal like it usually does! We started with renewed energy, and we’re working hard on Altered Alma to improve and expand this awesome adventure in Neo Barcelona!
Let us share with you some amazing news!
⚙️ STEAM NEXT FEST
As you may already know, Altered Alma will be part of the Steam Next Fest this February 23rd! We’re so excited about this! The Demo is bigger, better, and packed with more action and exploration in Neo-Barcelona!
You will notice expanded areas, refined mechanics, and a smoother overall flow. We took your feedback seriously and used it to guide improvements across combat balance, pacing, and progression.
We can't wait for you to experience this update and to hear your opinions about the changes!
BUT WAIT!! Did we say Steam NEXT Fest? Actually, the demo will be available sooner!
⏱️ Convergence Games Showcase
Also, we will be participating in the Convergence Games Showcase! An awesome event where indie devs and influencers unite to share and play future indie games!
But you remember we just told you the demo will be available soon? Well… The demo WILL BE UPDATED TODAY! During the Convergence Showcase, we also prepared a new teaser-trailer just for you!
We’ve added a secret “high skill” platforming section for players who want a serious challenge. It is built around precise movement and mastery of the Quantum Blade. If you enjoy putting your skills to the test, this area is for you.
Improved Combat!
Combat has been refined to feel more tactical and responsive. Jack now has a broader set of offensive options: more combos, power-ups and more… Allowing you to approach encounters with more intention. The Quantum Blade plays a central role in maintaining combat rhythm, helping you chain attacks, control space, and keep momentum.
Enemy Balancing:
We’ve adjusted enemy health, attack values, and overall density across all levels. We listened to you and maintained intensity while improving readability and pacing.
Encounters should feel demanding but fair.
Reward System:
Defeating enemies now grants coins and restores a portion of health. Using the dagger regenerates energy, encouraging active and aggressive play. These changes support a faster, more engaging combat loop.
Improved Tutorials:
All in-game tutorials have been revised for clarity. We streamlined explanations and improved onboarding so new players understand mechanics quickly without breaking immersion.
🌃 World & Immersion
Background NPCs:
Neo Barcelona feels more alive. We added NPCs with speech bubbles that provide hints, small narrative details, and environmental context. They enrich the atmosphere without slowing you down.
Environmental Life:
New background animations and interactive elements bring more movement and personality to each district. The city now reacts and breathes around you.
Destructibles:
Breakable objects are now present across all rooms. You can clear your path and enjoy the chaos!
🎧 UI, Audio & Polish
Level Cameras:
We implemented significant improvements to camera behavior throughout the game. Transitions feel smoother, and visibility during combat and platforming has improved.
UI/Menus:
All menus received additional polish. Navigation is clearer and more consistent with the overall visual identity of Altered Alma.
Cinematics:
The opening cinematic has been added, setting the tone for Jack’s journey from the very first moment.
Audio:
We introduced new sound effects and implemented audio for the logo carousel. (Our logos now have cool sounds!) Hehe
From all of us at 2Awesome Studio, thank you for supporting Altered Alma and following this journey with us. Your feedback and enthusiasm keep us moving forward. We wish you a strong start to the year, and we look forward to seeing you during Steam Next Fest.
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.
Warm regards, The Altered Alma Team

Hey awesome gang!!
As we look back on an unforgettable 2025, the entire Altered Alma team wants to wish you Happy Holidays and an awesome New Year. This year has been one of the most exciting in our studio’s history, and it’s all thanks to you, our amazing community.
Your support has been the driving force behind every milestone we reached. We are endlessly grateful for every pledge, every comment, and every bit of enthusiasm you shared with us. So let’s take a moment to look back at what we accomplished together throughout 2025.
🌟 2025: A Year full of Memories
This year was a whirlwind for Altered Alma, and we loved every second of sharing it with you. Here are some of the highlights that made 2025 so special:
GDC / Day of the Devs 2025
GDC 2025 was an unforgettable moment for 2Awesome Studio. We started strong with Day of the Devs, where we showcased Altered Alma alongside some of the most exciting indie games of the year. Seeing players try the game for the first time and hearing feedback directly from the community was incredibly inspiring.
2Awesome Studio Founders, David and Alejandro with the Best in Play winner award
We were thrilled to receive a nomination for the Best in Play Award, and even more thrilled when we actually won it.
Málaga was great!!
GuadalIndie was another unforgettable stop. Meeting so many of you in person, sharing the floor with fantastic indie creators, and feeling the love from the community made the event truly special. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth or simply dropped by to say hi. Your energy kept us going.
Altered Alma’s Booth at Málaga
BitSummit Japan
BitSummit was also packed with wonderful memories. Presenting Altered Alma alongside other remarkable indie titles and watching players discover the game was an amazing experience. From everyone who played the demo to the press who helped spread the word, we appreciate you deeply. Your enthusiasm fueled us all week long.
A quick trip to Japan for BitSummit!
Gamescom 2025
Another major highlight of the year, no doubt. We returned from Germany with hearts full and spirits high. The new Altered Alma demo received so much love; Jack never looked better shifting and dashing across the neon corners of the Spaceport.
Our Booth at Gamescom was always full!! Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who traveled to Cologne to try the demo, share kind words, or simply greet us. Your support means everything. ⚔️
BCN Game Fest
Wrapping up the year at Barcelona Game Fest (Previously IndieDev Day) felt perfect. Seeing players jump into the demo, explore secrets, and battle through challenges filled us with joy. Every reaction, every question, every moment of excitement reminded us why we make games.
Nothing like being at home! Thank you Barcelona.
🏙️ A Closer Look at Neo Barcelona’s New Biomes
As development continues, we’ve been pouring our passion into creating the stunning, unique environments of Neo Barcelona. Here’s what’s on the horizon:
Clavegeras & Undercity
Welcome one and all to Neo Barcelona’s biggest and shameless bar zone, take a seat! This rat infested, neon-drenched slimy grounded zone will teach you the very definition of scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Here you will find every person that had their troubles up there in the city, so be aware and don’t be surprised if they dislike the idea of moving up in the world.
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!
Hill of God
In the world of Altered Alma, the legendary Hill of God—inspired by the real Montjuic in Barcelona—stands tall as the headquarters of The Crusaders, the city's elite law enforcers and mercenaries. Perched above Neo Barcelona, this towering stronghold is both a symbol of order and a fortress of power. The Crusaders rule from here, enforcing their own version of justice, whether the city agrees with it or not. Expect intimidating architecture, high-tech security, and an air of authority that makes it clear—this is not a place you enter lightly.
Each biome is being crafted to feel alive, with intricate details and gameplay opportunities that reflect Neo Barcelona’s essence. We’re incredibly excited to show you even more as development progresses!
✨ Looking Ahead to 2026
With such a strong foundation laid in 2025, we’re diving into 2026 with renewed energy and focus. Here’s what you can look forward to:
🕹️ More development updates and sneak peeks into gameplay. 🌟 New surprises, announcements and cool stuff we have for you! 📅 Progress updates as we march closer to completing Altered Alma.
The journey is far from over, and we’re so grateful to have you with us every step of the way.
From all of us at 2Awesome Studio, thank you for being part of Altered Alma’s journey. We wish you a joyful holiday season, and an incredible New Year filled with adventure, joy, and lots of gaming!
Here’s to an exciting 2025! 🥂 Warm regards, The Altered Alma Team

File #20 // November Update
4 months ago
– Thu, Nov 27, 2025 at 05:51:36 AM
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!
Kickstarter BETA!
Thank you so much to everyone who joined the Beta Playtest! We truly appreciate all the love and feedback you’ve been sharing with us; your kind words and opinions help us keep improving Altered Alma every step of the way!
Wave 1 is now complete, and we’re already preparing the next one. So if you weren’t selected this time, don’t worry… you might be in the next round!
We’ll reach out with a notification (and your Steam key!) if you’re selected for Wave 2.
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 ins the most stylish and brutal way possible!
I can almost hear the crunch!
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 pass 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, Jacks 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.
It looks really fun!
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). Joining together as the Harlquins, leadered by the ruthless Red Rosie.
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.
See you in our next entry, – 2Awesome Studio

🌆 Welcome to Sagrada Familia!!
You will need an invitation if you want to access the best parties in the whole city! And they are only in Sagrada Família, the Basílica designed by Gaudí that seems to never be finished.
Controlled by La Familia, Neo Barcelona’s Mafia-like gang, They run the gambling and entertainment megastructure of Sagrada Familia, dealing in both legal and black market operations. Their boss is called “Father”, but that’s just a title; they’re not an actual family, and simply took their name from the unfinished cathedral.
🫢 Meet the Exhibitionist:
Meet one of the latest threats lurking in the streets of Neo Barcelona: The Exhibitionist.
At first glance, it might seem like just another creepy guy following you through the alleys… but don’t let your guard down. When it gets close, this mysterious enemy throws open its cloak, revealing an array of concealed energy cannons ready to unleash chaos.
It doesn’t seek attention… it demands it. So when the lights flicker, and you hear that faint hum charging up behind you… don’t look back.
