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.
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!
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. 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.

Hey there, awesome gang:
We hope spring is treating you well—with sunshine, good vibes, and maybe a picnic or two! Can you believe we’re almost halfway through the year? Time’s flying faster than Jack dashing through Neo Barcelona!
We’ve been hard at work on Altered Alma, and we’re excited to share what’s new. So let’s dive right in!
Málaga was great!!
Looking back at GuadalIndie 2025?!
Mission accomplished! GuadalIndie 2025 was an unforgettable experience. Meeting so many of you in person, sharing the floor with other amazing indie games, and feeling the love from the community—it was all simply incredible. 💜
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, shared kind words, or just came to say hi. Your support truly means the world to us.
Thanks so much for all your love and support—it means the world to us seeing you at events, cheering us on, and being part of this journey. 💜
Development Progress
🧪 Welcome back to Parc Güell…
Get ready to explore one of the most striking areas in Altered Alma—Parc Güell. Inspired by Antoni Gaudí’s iconic real-world park, this biome offers a vibrant burst of lush greenery and surreal, organic architecture. Twisting pathways, hidden secrets, and dreamlike structures create a striking contrast to Neo Barcelona’s usual cyberpunk sprawl.
Parc Güell is home to the Shallari, a fiercely orthodox community who have rejected the neon-soaked ways of the outside world. Centered around their communal egg nest, the Shallari live with one single purpose: to protect the purity and survival of their kind—at any cost.
Brutal, dogmatic, and deadly, many Shallari can recite twenty-six different ways to kill a person, but might not know how to make a sandwich. They shun cybernetics, considering both augmentation and exile equally impure. Those who leave Parc Güell often embrace the very tech their kin despise, becoming a divisive presence among the Shallari diaspora.
🧑🚀 Waiting for you!
Red Rosie, the best armorer of Neo Barcelona gets bored a little easy, if she’s not fighting, you may find her making, tweaking or upgrading the weaponry system on the ship. Will you say hi to Rosie?
Here is a quick shot of our favorite Psycho armorer. ❤️
Dev Update: May 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 on the city.
Parc Güell has been improved, updating the visuals and level design.
Las Ramblas has been improved, updating the visuals and level design.
Before we go, let us share the love 💗 with another cool game on Kickstarter:
Our friends at Quickfire Games are still going strong with their Kickstarter and reaching almost €100,000! Prelude Dark Pain is a turn-based Tactical RPG set in a dark fantasy world inspired by the classics such as Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics and Vandal Hearts, but with a modern touch. Lead a group of heroes to save the world of Statera and its inhabitants from an ancient evil that has afflicted them for generations.

Development Progress
🧪 New Dangers Below…
The deeper you dive into Neo Barcelona, the weirder—and more dangerous—it gets. You might want to watch your step…
Say hello (or maybe don’t) to the mutants of Clavageres, a twisted underground zone crawling with freakish enemies, lurking shadows, and... acidic surprises. 😱
This area is home to Harlequins, mutants, and all sorts of enemies that definitely aren't pet material. You’ll need to be fast, sharp, and always on your toes—because down here, Jack won’t get a single second to breathe.
🧑🚀 Meet the Crew!
It's not all doom and gloom, though—Jack’s never truly alone. In our next teaser, you’ll get a glimpse of a happy moment of the Esperanza crew: the whole crew together, chatting and… hmmm… it seems that they are scolding their dear captain.
💥Alert! Danger incoming - VFX Upgrade
Danger has a new face. When enemies gear up for a devastating heavy attack, Jack defense systems will now send a warning sign through the chaos. It’s your split-second chance to dodge, counter and show them who’s the boss.
But that’s not all — we’ve cranked up the action with fresh VFX that turn every battle into a spectacle. When Jack strikes, you’ll feel it: Enemies will explode in brutal blood splatters that paint the battlefield, each cut will now paint the wall with the true amount of damage you make with your blade.
Dev Update: April Progress
We improved the Spaceport area, updating the visuals and level design.
New enemies and environmental hazards have been implemented.
We’ve implemented new VFX for enemies, and reworked some old VFX too.
The team has also improved a little more in the dagger movement and game feel.
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.

– Wed, Apr 02, 2025 at 07:54:35 AM
Hey there, awesome gang:
Hope you're all kicking off the year in high spirits! The journey from the year's start till now has been a whirlwind for us. Thanks for all your support this kickstart of the year, we’re working hard on Altered Alma to improve and expand this amazing adventure in Neo Barcelona!
We have a few announcements to make, so let's get started!!

Back From GDC!!🎶
And not Empty Handed!
GDC 2025 was an unforgettable experience for us at 2Awesome Studio! We kicked things off with Day of the Devs, where we had the incredible opportunity to showcase Altered Alma alongside some of the most exciting indie games out there. Seeing players experience our game firsthand and getting direct feedback from the community was truly inspiring.
Our journey at GDC didn’t stop there. We took part in the Meet to Match pitching session, sharing our vision for Altered Alma and exploring exciting new opportunities. It was amazing to see so much interest in what we’re building!
We were also honored to be featured at the European Game Showcase, a fantastic event that allowed us to present Altered Alma to an international audience of publishers, investors, and industry professionals. Networking with other talented European developers and getting exposure on such a global stage was an invaluable experience.
And here’s the big news—we were not only nominated for a Best in Play Award, but we actually won one! Being recognized at GDC’s Best in Play was an absolute highlight for us, and it means so much to see the passion and hard work we’ve put into Altered Alma being celebrated.
More Home Events
We are also happy to announce that we will attend to another Spanish event/festival, this time in Toledo Matsuri 2025, located in the Recinto Polideportivo de Salto de Caballo, an event full of Video games, Board games, E-Sports, anime and many more.
You can find us at the Indie Zone along with other amazing Indie games and studios, we will wait for you there.
Development Progress
We’ve been hard at work refining Altered Alma, and we’re excited to share some big improvements! Our movement system has been upgraded, making parkour and combat feel smoother and more dynamic than ever. Now, you’ll have more flexibility to chain parkour moves seamlessly while fighting, even when facing multiple enemies at once.
But that’s not all—we’ve also expanded the combat system with better combos and new attacks, giving you even more ways to take down enemies in style. Whether you prefer quick, agile strikes or powerful, devastating hits, the new mechanics will let you fight on your terms.
And here’s another exciting update—our spaceship companion, Bailey, they are getting animated! 🎨⚙️ Our beloved engineer will soon be joining the Esperanza crew, bringing even more life and personality to your journey.
We can’t wait for you to meet them in action!
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.
But in a city like Neo Barcelona, power is never absolute, and even the mightiest fortresses have their cracks. What secrets lie within the Hill of God? That’s for you to find out… if you dare.
Upgrades and Updates
In a city like Neo Barcelona, where the skyline glows with endless neon, our visual effects need to match the energy of the night. That’s why we’ve given a fresh update to most projectiles, making sure every shot, blast, and impact looks as stunning as the city itself. One of our favorites? “The Malware”— If you're gonna fight in the neon-lit streets, might as well do it in style, right?
If you thought you could just run and hide—think again.
The Chaser is here to make sure that once you're spotted, there's no easy escape. These relentless hunters will lock onto you the moment they detect your presence and won’t stop until they’ve either torn you apart or lost sight of you.
Now, with a sleeker, sharper, and more agile design, they’re faster, deadlier, and more precise than ever. Every move is calculated, every attack is ruthless—leaving you even less room for mistakes. Are you ready to survive?
Dev Update: March Progress
Improved combat mechanics and new move-set
New bosses and enemies added to the game
Improved aerial movement for better parkour and combat
New VFX and reworked old VFX
