From Lex to Rex
The Metaverx turns one!
I have to say that I love this game. The goal was clear from the beginning: to apply everything I learnt in the first one and translate it here. It has been accomplished.
On the other hand, despite having participated in a Steam Next Fest, having a better promotion (From Lex to Rex didn't have any), the wishlist and the congratulation messages, the game hasn't had the expected buzz, although, ironically, it has made more players go to the first one.
In the end Lex has ended up being an extension of myself (if he wasn't already in the first one): someone who has to do everything and persists despite the odds with humour, pretty much my summary as an indie developer.
Both games will be on sale during these days. Take the opportunity to grab them or recommend them if you consider it (and leaving a review too, this helps a lot).
Keep playing. Lex loves you.
French
From Lex to Rex is now available in French! I will probably add some more languages (sugestions?), however it takes a ton of time so be patient. The next goal is to finish the french translation of Press Lex to Metaverx.
This patch also includes some minor fixings like a typo here and there and a trim in the code so the game can work even better.
Enjoy.
Two years, two games and...
From Lex to Rex is about to be two years old in no time. It has been as crazy as Lex´s adventures.
I can say I am quite proud with the game, especially after the polishing and improving. In the end, as I said before, this has been a learning experience. Thanks to you the game is still working and didn´t get lost down there in Steam´s deepness.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Now, once again I ask you (because asking is free and sometimes works) to consider leaving a review for the game (or, while you´re at it, for both of them). This one is undoubtely the hardest quest of them all, even though I receive congratulations messages. This way you will help me shake Steam´s algorithm to make the game more visible. It really helps. It is so hard to get a review that something related will be included in the next game...
Because, yes, Lex still has one adventure left.
Keep playing.
Nomination and charity!
I hope this Royal message finds you full of energy. For the second time the game has been nominated to te Steam Awards, this time, as you can see, in the Labor of love category. Holy starters, how can that be possible? Well, this year the game received a major update (Royal patch) that included:
- Polished animations.
- A complete change of sound effects and the addition of profesional music.
- An autosave system.
- A new secret zone with four exclusive achievements.
In addition to this, just like last year, some of the money made of this month´s sales is going directly to the food collection campaing that will take place this week.
Lex loves you. Enjoy and keep playing.
1 1/2 Patch
The pace of the cinematics has been improved, this means there´s more time to appreciate the actions and the dialogues (there were some scenes that felt a little rushed). A small blink in an animation has been fixed. Some dialogue lines have been gathered in one complete sentence.
Keep playing and, once again, be kind and review.
Summer sale! Reviews! Madness!
Summer sale starts tomorrow, the best momento for you to get any of the games, even both of them with an additional discount. Madness!
I also encourage you to leave a review. It´s a small gesture that means a lot to us, indie developers.
Thank you. Enjoy. Rock´n´roll.
Greetings and minor patch.
First of all, greetings to the (many) new players who have decide to join Lex in his quest. As you may have already seen (or will see soon) he will need your help, so he´s certainly grateful.
- This patch includes minor fixes that didn´t affect the playability: some pacing between actions (some felt a little rushed); the music from the first stage kept playing for a while during the second one, that´s now fixed; a sudden camera blink and the main character position after using an inventory object on an NPC (he moved to one place and then headed to the right one). Fixed.
- If you see minor patches from now on that means I´m polishing little things like the pacing.
- If you enjoyed this adventure, please check the awesome new one Press Lex to Metaverx
- There are some interesting news coming.
- Should you like to share your love, leaving a review could be the ultimate gesture!
Thanks a lot. Keep playing!
Launch day.
I´m so proud of it and everything I´ve learnt. It is a bigger step from the first one in all aspects with an awesome story linked to the gameplay. I´ve spent hours and hours of dedication (I truly don´t want to know how many to avoid a heart attack), sometimes almost going crazy, but here is the result. Being a one-man project it is easy that I´ve missed some typos or bugs, so please, majesties, just let me know and I´ll fix them before you can say blueberry pie.
I hope you play it, enjoy it and support me. Thank you so very much.
The Metaverx is coming.
Press Lex to Metaverx arrives on the fourth of may.
A moving story awaits you. See you soon.
From Lex to Rex - First anniversary
It started as a feat (it really was) turned into reality. I have probably said this before, but in the end it has been a learning experience. I can assure you I´ve spent many nights thinking about how solving unexpected bugs or investing more hours than any other person would just to improve the game. There were oppossed emotions, highs and lows and even once I dreamt about a character that didn´t allow me to keep developing the game (can you guess which one?).
Now all this is part of the experience of developing an indie game.
A year later I´m finishing the (unexpected) sequel Press Lex to Metaverx of which I attach a new image. There will news soon. Meanwhile, keep playing, unlock those achievements, spread the word about the game and if you want to do extra mile leave a review. Every little gesture helps.
Thanks for being there.
