Hello you lovely people!

Thank you all for being fans of the games we've created! Without your support we wouldn't be here and be able to continue making games. It really means a lot!

We wanted to take the opportunity to announce that our next game will be the narrative adventure called A Void Hope and it'll release February 29 on Steam!

A Void Hope takes you on an atmospheric narrative adventure to find a cure for a collapsed city. Follow the story of a tormented couple as they try to decipher reality from nightmares and evade the shadowy threats lurking in the dark.

• Solve puzzles and find items to progress
  
• Avoid combat and embrace exploration
  
• Uncover the mystical story
  
• An evocative soundtrack by synthwave mastermind Waveshaper

Hello!

Did you know we're releasing Alwa's Collection? It's Alwa's Awakening and the follow-up Alwa's Legacy on one disc/cartridge on PS4/Switch!

Thanks everyone for playing!

All the best,

Hello!

Our second game called Alwa's Legacy is now released on Steam! It's a standalone sequel and our design goal with it was to take everything that was good from the first game and make it better. We're extremely glad over how it turned out and we can't wait to hear what you think!

Check the game out here:

With kind regards,
Mikael Forslind and Elden Pixels team

Alwa's Legacy - Our new game is live on Kickstarter!
Were happy to finally be able to announce our entirely new game Alwas Legacy. Its a passion project that weve been working on for more than a year and a half and it feels great to be able to share more details about the game and how it plays.

Alwas Legacy is a modern retro game full of dangerous dungeons, magical items and ancient secrets. By upgrading your magic, any way forward is right in this non-linear adventure game full of exploration

Alwas Legacy is now live on Kickstarter and we need your help to make it a reality

Weve been on this indie dev journey for a while now and although our first game Alwas Awakening was a small success, its still a real challenge to finish our second game. Especially since we think everyone involved with the game should be paid properly, and for Alwas Legacy we almost doubled our team compared with the first game. Thats why we felt reaching out and asking our community for support was the right way forward.

Wed be so extremely thankful if youd wanted to support our Kickstarter. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Hello Everyone!

For the past months we've been working on the console debut of Alwa's Awakening, today we released the game on Nintendo Switch.

Our ambition is to release a new patch (1.06) later this year. The patch will contain overall polish, some bug fixes and support for Switch Pro controller.

Here's the Nintendo Switch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed1EKiyXsTc&t=0s

Hello Adventurers!

Here is a big addition to the game. We've added an Assist Mode for those who want to use it.
It will not affect your achievements or mark your savefile with anything.

ASSIST MODE

• Quick Respawn - If you die, you can respawn in the same room where you entered.
  
• Show Items On Map - Items will appear on the map as dots to hint where to go, even if you've not visited that room.
  
• Show Wells On Map - Wells will stay visible on the map once you've entered a room with a well.
  

• Cloud save added.
  
• Adjusted an arrow offset in the main menu if you're playing in Russian.
  
• Fixed a bug that wouldn't save V-Sync when you turned off the game.
  
• Added unique ID's on the map for each room that you're in.
  
• Adjusted flow of enemies in some rooms to make it easier to navigate faster.
  
• Changed the delay of a timer in the end (SECRET STUFF).
  
• Arrows in the main menu now change color based on if you can continue to scroll further.
  
• Fixed some text alignments in the game.
  
• Addressed an issue where the animation wouldn't properly play if you tried to crouch while pushing a block.
  
• Fixed a minor graphical thing in Void Tower.
  
• Resetting the settings are now properly working with the different fonts.
  
• Fixed a bug where you could flip in the beginning so Zoe would face the other direction while Saga entered the room.
  
• Addressed a bug where not all bosses would take double damage if you had the staff upgrade.
