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

Heres the freshly made release date trailer: [previewyoutube=HB6M_C-dz4U;full][/previewyoutube] https://store.steampowered.com/app/2438090/A_Void_Hope/ Although a bit different, this game is made by the same team behind our other titles and the reason we wanted to share these news is because we definitely think you can appreciate A Void Hope. Thanks everyone! Elden Pixels

Hello! In this smaller update we've added Spanish (Europe) as well as Spanish (Latin America) thanks to a lovely fan-translation! We also took the opportunity to fix some smaller issues we've found. Especially one where if you failed a Pacifist Mode and kept playing you'd encounter some weird things because the game was put in a weird state. It should work as intended now though. :) Here's the changelog for 7281:

General

• Added Spanish
• Quick Respawn is now disabled inside of Gloomy Cellar

Fixes

• Holding up no longer prevents you from attacking
• Purple bubbles hitboxes no longer linger after they break
• Fixed issue where Gwendoline would spawn in areas before she's supposed to
• Fixed issue where Music Box wouldnt spawn notes properly
• Respawning next to unlocked keydoors with Quick Respawn no longer consumes your keys
• Fixed issues where boss doors and events wouldnt work properly in a failed Pacifist Mode

Thanks everyone! Elden Pixels

Hello! First time you start up Alwa's Legacy you're asked to change the brightness and we've realized very late that this screen isn't properly designed. It's not technically a brightness settings, it only changes how much dark overlay the game applies to certain dungeons. It's a bit confusing and in the next patch players don't have to change anything when starting the game for the first time. (The setting will still be available though) You are free to play the game in any way you want with any setting you want but we thought we'd show an example about how the game was intended to play with the default setting.
Next week we'll launch our first small update, which will mostly be small bug fixes and improvements. We'll post a changelog once we have it. Thanks everyone for being so kind during launch. We're really glad to see you like our little game :) With kind regards, Elden Pixels
