File #16 // July Update + Gamescom

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!

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):

🐶 Pet the Pets!

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!
