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.

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. ❤️

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.
