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!

Altered Alma changes
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. ❤️

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!
