   Everybody’s journey through Adelpha starts and ends in the same place, but between that, you have lots of freedom in which parts of the world/story you want to tackle next.
   
9. Why do the Talans look and sound so much more human than in the first game? What was the reason behind that choice?
   This is mostly due to the progress in terms of facial animations and fidelity. Back then, the Talans didn’t have many details and very heavy voice-processing. When we made A New Beginning, we sat down to look at the original content and decided to re-evaluate certain design choices. While the original Talan designs were intriguing and unique, we decided to update them to a more detailed, more colorful and expressive version, similar to the update to Adelpha’s environments.
   
10. Why did you change Cutter’s look and voice so much? He looks and sounds nothing like the original!
    That’s mostly due to the evolution of Cutter as a character. In “A New Beginning”, Cutter is more matured. He is the father of a child and goes through a different character arc. Therefore, the writing, character model and voice performance changed accordingly.
    
11. What exactly is included in the demo version?
    The demo version consists of three segments:
    - Combat: clear one base using a preset number of weapons/upgrades, no time limit
    - Exploration: explore the world of Adelpha and its side quests, 20 minutes per access
    - Story: storyline of the village Sappa, 20 minutes per access (time pauses in dialogues)
    
12. How long is the game?
    If you rush through the main story, approximately 30 hours, but much more if you explore and do side quests.

We are thrilled to announce that we are participating in Steam's much-anticipated "Metroidvania Fusion" event!

This special occasion is dedicated to celebrating the rich, explorative, and intricate world of Metroidvania games.

Our demo will be available during the event:
From the 4th of March Till the 11th of March 10 AM (PST)

Hey there, party people!
Joel Page here, and I'm about to drop some seriously groovy news! Tomorrow, brace yourselves as my latest creation, Sippy Disco, hits Steam like a burst of confetti!
Picture this: You're about to embark on a neon-fueled puzzle adventure that'll have you tapping your toes and moving to the beat! Meet Sippy the unicorn, the ultimate dance floor diva, on a mission to light up every square with style and finesse. But hold onto your glittery hats, because Sippy's not alone – join forces with roller-skating parrots and disco balls to really amp up the fun!
Now, let me take you back to where it all began. My partner-in-crime and I, fueled by caffeine and dreams, decided to sprinkle a little magic into the world with our business, Sippy Crumbs. We're all about spreading joy, one cup of coffee, cookie, and heartfelt card at a time. But amidst our hustle, I found myself knee-deep in the development of a complex RPG game. Don't get me wrong, I was passionate, but the road ahead seemed endless.

Then, in a stroke of pure inspiration, I hit the reset button. What if I infused our company's mascot, the beloved unicorn Sippy, into a new gaming venture? And just like that, Sippy Disco was born! With a few swift moves and some coding magic, I had a prototype ready to dazzle the world.
Fast forward to today, and Sippy Disco isn't just a game – it's a vibe! We've been setting up shop at local markets, inviting folks to boogie down with Sippy while they browse. It's been an incredible journey watching players light up with excitement as they conquer each level. Much like Sippy Crumbs, our game is all about forging connections and uplifting spirits with every pixelated step.

Ready to join the party? Sippy Disco is hitting Steam at a sweet 15% off, so mark your calendars for March 1st! And if you're in the mood for some real-life fun, catch Sippy strutting his stuff at the Phoenix Melrose Street Fair this weekend!

So, what are you waiting for? Let's dance our way to victory with Sippy Disco!

Ahoy Pirate!

In the last devlog, we wrote about the so-called POIs (Point of Interest) that symbolise important gameplay elements in the exploration view. Today we want to tell you a little more about ports and sectors.

The game map itself is divided into sectors that the player will travel in. Each sector will have a specific Tier, and on this basis the player will be able to decide whether he wants to go there. The higher the tier, the game becomes more difficult and the more demanding the challenges are, but also the greater the reward. Below, you can see the boundaries of the different sectors.



Within each sector, apart from the POIs presented in the previous post, the player will be able to visit ports and use their benefits. In the following, we will discuss the first batch of buildings that may appear in a given port. The number of functional buildings there are in a port can vary from sector to sector, and it is impossible to be sure until a given port is discovered.

Now let us get into details of the first set of port buildings.

Tavern


The tavern is a building that we visit to look for new sailors who will join our crew for a certain fee and the promise of treasures. After reaching the port and selecting the Tavern, the player can choose one of the 3 available crew members. After a while, new sailors can be found in the Tavern, so be sure to visit it after a while.

Market


This is a building that allows you to trade with a given port. Each port buys and sells up to three different goods. It is worth checking the cost of raw materials in each port you visit because from time to time the needs of the city may change and thus the cost of purchase and sale can change significantly. A good captain always checks prices and can make a fortune by carefully planning the transport of raw materials from one place to another.

Shipyard


During sea battles and boarding combat, the integrity of the ship can often be damaged. Then you need to dock at port and ask experienced shipwrights to repair it.

More information about ports and its buildings we will introduce a little bit later. Meanwhile, remember to follow us on social media and join our discord server!

🎵 🎵 Greetings 🪕🪕

Yes, it's our second dev update, if you missed the first one which is a masterpiece (this one too😏), feel free to check it out.

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1912750/announcements/detail/4197988091800574447?snr=2___

Based on the emojis in this news, we think you are already know what we're going to talk about, that's right, it's 🦥 Alto 🦥 & Moshangzilla Moshang 🦏

---

Good news, we reduce the time you spend searching for Alto. Two main reasons:

• 🥁 Alto wants to have more visitors
  
• 🚏 He wants to be found easily (🎶 I was lost in Constance, but then I found himmm, I found youuuu, woo hoo 🎶)

During development we tried to change the gameplay of the game 🤣 but it seems we went too far (don't worry, it won't happen in the game once you wishlist Terra Memoria and join our discord) 😏.





Cheers,
