Hey there, awesome gang:
Nights are starting to get longer and colder in Neo Barcelona. The air feels heavier and crispier than ever, but don’t blame the mega-corporation’s climate control systems just yet, Autumn falls in the city. More opportunities to warm up fighting every bad guy under the neon-drenched night sky, I guess.
We’ve been hard at work on Altered Alma, and we’re excited to share what’s new. So let’s dive right in!
BCN Game Fest 2025, here we go! 🎮
Indie Dev Day just got upgraded: bigger, better and stronger than ever.
You heard us right, Altered Alma will be present in the new and renovated BCN Game Fest (formerly known as IndieDev Day). We’ve been preparing a lot of stuff for you guys this time around, we will bring a new DEMO, so if you want to try it with us, you’re welcome to also give us your Feedback.
📍La Farga de l’Hospitalet 📅October 10th - 12th!
So, don’t forget to pay us a visit and compare the oddities of Neo Barcelona versus modern-day Barcelona itself! Who knows what secrets lay before you in this city…
Neo Barcelona awaits, we have a NEW DEMO 🌆
Just in case you missed it.
A huge THANK YOU to all the people that have already played the new demo, all of your feedback, good wishes, bug reports… Everything has been so helpful and encouraging of you. We are so lucky to have such an amazing community.
🌆 Active competitions!!
We are also spicing things up with not one but two special contests revolving around the brand-new content, so don’t miss your chance to achieve greatness and be a part of the legends of this city. You’ll find more info on our social media:
Stay tuned, we have more surprises coming along the way!
🌆 Welcome to the Great Vyne!!
The city is overpopulated and overcrowded with people, crime and neons. That’s why the Great Vyne is here. A whole city by itself, but made of warm nature instead of the cold steel of the mega-corpo buildings… A fresh air from the chaotic gases of the city.
Such a big place makes it impossible to not be inhabited by someone… The Vynefolk, Residents of Neo Barcelona since before the city even finished construction, they are long-lived enough that many of those same settlers are still around today.
Rooted in real places from our own real Barcelona landmarks: the rolling green of the Collserola mountains, the serene gardens of Ciutadella, and even the unmistakable silhouette of Montserrat, rising majestically in the distance. Just like the city itself, the Great Vyne has layers of history woven into it.
Dev Update: September Progress 📅
Great Vyne has been improved, with better visuals and level designs.
Las Ramblas has been improved, updating the visuals and level design
Sagrada Familia still under construction, new enemies were added and doormans hired.
UI elements and Inventory have been updated and optimized.
Improvement in player controller for better and more precise movement.
New level elements and platform items have been added.
A huge shoutout to everyone who’s been active on our Discord, giving us your love, support and feedback. Your input has been invaluable, helping us fine-tune the game to make it even better. We’ve been writing down notes like crazy, and we can’t wait to put them to good use as we polish up the final game.
The Beta!!
And beyond that… we know the Beta has been on everyone’s mind. Very soon we’ll have news to share about it —both here on Kickstarter and over on our Discord.
Stay tuned!

Hey there, awesome gang:
Summer is coming to a close nicely, awesome events have come and go, but don’t worry! There’s still plenty of time to have a nice cold drink under the sun with your crew and enjoy the view and the warmth of the cityscape.
We’ve been hard at work on Altered Alma, and we’re excited to share what’s new. So let’s dive right in!
Back from Gamescom 2025! 🎮
What a week, what a ride! Metroidvanias are back on business.
Gamescom 2025: Mission Accomplished! We are back from Germany, and it was a week to remember, for sure! We’ve heard you, the new demo of Altered Alma was awesome, Jack’s never looked so fine shifting and dashing across the neon-drenched corners of Spaceport.
Seeing all of you (SO MANY of you too) hitting the streets of Neo Barcelona, uncovering new secrets and beating new threats was such an experience. As always, we’ve felt the love of the community, and we can’t thank you enough for following us along this incredible journey, in person, online or wherever we might be.
A huge thank you to everyone who flew all the way to Cologne to try the new demo, share some kind words, or just came to say hi. Your support truly means the world to us. ⚔️
And let’s not forget about the awesome games and friends we were surrounded by at the Indie Arena Booth! We would like to thank the wonderful people of the organization, Valentina, and all the volunteers that helped us out. And special thanks to Catalan Arts, we wouldn’t make this possible with all of your support.
Our Publisher Critical Reflex will be hosting their own game show! From new trailers to development insights and updates – all delivered directly into your system.
New demos, playtests, and releases. Also check it out for some Altered Alma news and announcements.Tune in today (September 15) at 7pm CEST / 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST
One day, you think you know this city like the back of your hand, the next, you could swear the building are moving on their own.
We are working hard on delivering the biggest, brightest and astonishing views you could ever imagine of this city. Neo Barcelona is being dressed for the occasion: better lighting, more and more neon signs, people walking around the streets and even Zeppelins flying in the night sky. What a sight!
🗡️ Up your arsenal
Jack’s been training hard off-screen to ensure she can beat each and every thug that dares crossing her path on these streets.
Soon you will be able to get your hands on some sweet new tools for the trade. Thinking of backstabbing your enemies and ending the thing in one fell swoop? Think no more. Maybe you have a more forward mentality about your problems? Well, we have the solution for you too.
⚔️ The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Jack’s been on the run for long enough. It was just a matter of time the Crusaders send somebody to hunt her down.
There is no place to hide in the depths of Spaceport. The perfect spot for waiting on your prey, but who’s to say which one will take the upper hand in this brutal encounter?
A huge shoutout to everyone who’s been active on our Discord, giving us your love, support and feedback. Your input has been invaluable, helping us fine-tune the game to make it even better. We’ve been writing down notes like crazy, and we can’t wait to put them to good use as we polish up the final game.
And a special thanks to all the brave souls who’ve already taken Neo Barcelona for a spin and shared their honest thoughts with us in the previous events – you rock!

Hey there, awesome gang:
Summer is here!!—So is the heat, remember to stay hydrated! Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year? Time’s flying faster than Jack dashing going for some Burritos!
We’ve been hard at work on Altered Alma, and we’re excited to share what’s new. So let’s dive right in!
✈️ Back at Gamescom!
Cologne, Germany… here we come!!
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be at Gamescom 2025! And of course, we’re not coming empty-handed.
🎮 Visit us at Hall 10.2, Booth F010g - E019
You’ll be able to play a totally new and never seen before demo of Altered Alma! Who knows what new secrets Neo Barcelona has in store…
Come say hi, chat with the team, and try the game for yourself!
⛩️ From Neo Barcelona to Kyoto
BitSummit was a completely unforgettable experience for us! We had the incredible opportunity to showcase Altered Alma alongside other exciting indie games out there.
Seeing players experience our game firsthand and getting direct feedback from the community was truly inspiring. Thank you, everyone, for your love and support during this amazing week!
From the players who tried it out to the press who covered us up and made some noise about us! We truly appreciate it.
Take a look for yourself (if you are fluent in Japanese):
Soon, you’ll be able to bring some furry companions aboard The Esperanza!
We’re beyond excited to let you pet these adorable babies. What would you name them?
Who would you pet first? Why not both? Jack has two hands, after all.
🌲 Meet the Vynefolk
We’ve also been expanding the world of Neo-Barcelona—here’s a little peek at two Vynefolk enemies you’ll come across during your journey:
The Vynefolk are an ancient species known for their calm and philosophical nature. They usually avoid conflict and keep to themselves, but if the Great Vyne is threatened, they won’t hesitate to strike back, fast and without mercy.

June Update

Hey there, awesome gang!!
Summer is here!!—So is the heat, remember to stay hydrated! Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year? Time’s flying faster than Jack dashing going for some Burritos!
We’ve been hard at work on Altered Alma, and we’re excited to share what’s new. So let’s dive right in!
About the Kickstarter Beta!
As you may know when backing the project, the original plan was to give you an exclusive Beta by Q2 2025. We had to consider the efficient path to avoid affecting the production and bring you something useful in order to gather meaningful feedback. — In other words… We didn’t want to give you just a demo, we need to properly decide how much content goes on it and how we can gather that feedback via analytics and forms.
Does delaying the beta means that the game progress isn’t going well? Not at all!!
A big part of the game is already built, but it is not as polished as we would like to show on a Beta. — So what we mean for this is, we rather delay the Beta to bring you something bigger, than a smaller super polished small demo that may delay the main game and not look like the actual game.
Development Progress 🛠️
⚔️ Jack’s Combat Evolution
The stomp attack isn’t just for breaking weak floors anymore. It’s a legit combat tool! Use it to damage and scatter enemies when they swarm you.
Pro tip: the higher the fall, the bigger the boom.
🚫 Barriers? Not a Problem
Barriers are made to stop you and keep you away… Or that’s the idea.
Because the Quantum Blade know no limit. Shift through the energy barriers to reach new levels, you can take advantage of its solidity to hold on them and its quantic weakness to go through them when you need to.
🔥 New Environmental Hazards & Enemies
💀 Toxic Bubbles
Like a hot knife through butter—wait.
There’s really no place safe down here, these toxic bubbles seem weak at first sight, but pack a punch, make sure you avoid them, or you’ll end in a puddle of your own tears, or in this case, all the waste of the city recollected.
💢 Spiked Crushers
Introducing the Giant Spiked Crushers, going under Spaceport doesn’t mean that will be an easy path… Lots of mechanical parts moving might become a death trap if you aren’t careful enough. Be aware of your surroundings and think fast, or you will become a tortilla in a split of a second. And beware of those who are also hiding, they don’t like to share their spot
🐀 Undercity’s Wildlife?
Seems like VERA made a new friend, a very twisted and mutated one.
Undercity is plagued by multiple radioactive wildlife, they may look cute… but you’re still in Neo Barcelona, not every friend-shaped is a friend.
🍺Join us in the 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.
Long story short, the place is run by The Harlequins, a motley crew of assorted humans and aliens, just your average gang of gangs, who in hell taught these guys the true meaning of organized crime…?
A district almost forgotten by the people of Neo Barcelona, some might say you’re wasting your time going down here, there’s simply nothing of value to be gained, and too much to lose.
Dev Update: June Progress 📅
We improved the Spaceport area, updating the visuals and level design.
New enemies and environmental hazards have been implemented.
Some bosses have been spotted fighting Jack in the city.
Parc Güell has been improved, updating the visuals and level design.
Las Ramblas has been improved, updating the visuals and level design.
A huge shoutout to everyone who’s been active on our Discord, giving us your love, support and feedback. Your input has been invaluable, helping us fine-tune the game to make it even better.
