Hey everyone! I just got back from Barcelona where I personally attended IndieDevDay 2024, a really cool gathering of indie game developers showcasing their work, talks and more!
I should have done this before the event, but I've been so tired and busy with life that it has been impossible. (maybe you should all buy Exophobia so I can afford a community manager? ;) )
Anyway, you might have noticed the IndieDevDay banner, which led to the Steam event with a lot of cool Spanish indie games (and some portuguese ones sneaking in, thanks to Gamiberica and APVP, who brought us there). Check it out!
The event was really cool and the vibes of creativity and companionship were flowing like crazy, I really enjoyed it! If you can travel to Barcelona next year, I wouldn't miss it. See you all soon (maybe next time I'll let you know about the events on time) Zarc
Exophobia x Beyond Sunset Bundle
Hey everyone! Hope you had a good Boomstock week! It was an excellent first sale for Exophobia, with a lot of new players discovering the game thanks to Civvie11's video. Check it out, it is really fun!
You may have noticed, but a bundle appeared on the page. Sorry for the late info on this, both games were on sale during Boomstock! You can now save 15% by buying Beyond Sunset along with Exophobia! Two colorful retro FPS combined for double the action and the fun! Thanks to the nice team at Movie Games SA for the collaboration.
New patch to fix the previous one that had a save file issue:
Better way to calculate play time - this might mess with your save files time, but it now fixes some problems where it was recording wrong. It also fixes displaying "0" in the save file on the menu.
Disabled drone in some boss fights where it can actually slow you down.
Infinite mode crash fix (I hope!)
All Our Base achievement fixed (I hope!)
Other small overall tweaks to values.
CD #41 now visible

Have fun! Zarc
Exophobia at Gamescom 2024!
Exophobia is showcasing at Gamescom 2024 in Cologne, Germany! Visit Hall 10.2 Stand F042 ( right after the top entrance of the indie hall ) to get a first look at the Exophobia physical versions. You can even try to win one! Exophobia is also part of the Gamescom digital showcase!
See you there Zarc
Patch #6 - v1.0.9
This was a quick one, but I didn't want to leave you without a patch for much longer while I was away at Gamescom!
Infinite Mode Crash - let me know if you can get after level 3-3. I tested it but couldn't replicate the bug
Out of bounds bugs fixed in floor 4
Final achievement unlocks even if you get the good ending first, so you don't have to play the whole game again for the bad ending
Again, report everything you find in the Steam forums or Discord! Thanks a lot!
Hotfix for patch #5 - v1.0.8.3
Fixed sprites flickering bug (I think!!) Giving up mouse acceleration fixes for now, so please disable in windows settings while I find a solution to counter effect it. Thanks!!
Hotfix for patch #5 - v1.0.8.2
Created a bug with flickering objects. Should be fixed now.
Hotfix for patch #5 - v1.0.8.1
New try at disabling mouse acceleration. Fixed reported crashes in discussions.
Patch #5 - V1.0.8 - 8 August 2024
Sorry for taking so long to update! Tried to include a bunch of stuff:
Mouse acceleration fix - Let me know if it feels any different
Timers are now based on difficulty - Relax players now can take their time in these challenges
One way doors appear in the map - Dots that don't blink are one way doors. You can now plan your route with these in mind.
Achievement fixes - Some achievements were blocked due to bugs (On the Edge, Alien Slayer, Speedrunner, etc...), I think they are working now. Let me know if you still can't get them!
Localization changes
Out of bound errors fixed
Let me know in the Steam forums if your problem was fixed. Have fun!
