From Lex to Rex
Secret area and four new achievements.
Somewhere in the castle, hidden and awating to be found, there´s a secret area where Creepshow and Boris Vian meet to deliver a crazy puzle that will take you around twenty minutes to beat (all achievements included). However, it won´t be easy to find. Look around, examine and think.
Thanks for playing, keep doing it, enjoy and be kind, review.
Royal path
In order to make the best game possible, this Royal patch is a huge one.
- Fixed the repetition of the first frame at the end of some (or many) animations.
- Autosave system / Resume button on the main menu.
- New music and sounds: 90% of the sounds have been changed for better ones. There are more ambient and objects sounds and new music (even where there wasn´t any). I must say the lack of music was made on purpose (think of the first Monkey Island) but now I´ve made a more "inmersive" game.
- The second part of the rooftop stage has been completely reworked (thanks for the crash Unity and AC). The puzzles remain the same but the dialogues have been changed for funnier ones (overall the main message is the same). New animations have been added.
- In case of death (of the character, of course) the scene starts on a previous point and not at the beginning. Keep in mind that this case is in some stages, however the next update will have it in all of the ones you can die).
- Many more things for you to enjoy. The game keeps its difficulty.
And if you´ve made it this far, the next update will bring more inventory interactions (examine, trying combinations...) and, possibly...
A secret stage.
Thanks a lot!
Thank you.
I would like to wish all those who have played From Lex to Rex a happy New Year. 2022 has been an important one, highlighted by the release of my first game, something that, not so far ago, wasn´t even in my list of intentions. It has probably been the most difficult creative task I´ve ever done and it has provided me with tons of knowledge and insight about this world I enjoy so much: the videogames one.
Thanks for giving it a chance. Now it´s turn to keep focused on the next project, something bigger in all aspects.
Happy New Year.
Minor update - Food bank - Steam Awards
- The new patch includes better sounds and music (main hall and feast stages).
- Changed some dialogue lines (for better ones).
- That "hidden" object almost everybody complains about at the tailor´s has now a short animation to make it more visible. Don´t expect neon lights, but is there.
Charity: as promised I made a donation to the food bank with most of the money earnt from these two last sales.
Steam Awards: you can nominate From Lex to Rex! Outstanding story-rich game. Go!
Steam Awards Nominations - Outstanding Story-Rich Game
I´m proud of the story and plot I achieved in From Lex to Rex, and it seems many of you liked it too!
While the game has been an intense grinding for me, full of ups and downs, I can say that, as a writer myself, I´ve discovered a new and exciting way to tell stories. My main focus was giving you, not only the best story, but the best old school point and click game possible, and I´m still commited to it.
During this hard task it's always great to see the support I get from you and how much you have enjoyed the idea and story of the game, that´s why I would be humbled if you would nominate From Lex to Rex on the category Outstanding Story-Rich Game.
I can´t wait to hear from you and share with you exciting news!
As always, thank you.
Minor update - Two announcements
- Willing to make From Lex to Rex a more complete and better game, I´m adding better sounds and music in order to improve it. It´s a slow revision process, so expect continuous minor patches.
- I would like to make a call for reviews. . Developing a solo indie game it´s an ardous task full of learning. Support means everything, that´s why if you consider the game gave you a moment of joy and fun or even helped you forget about daily problems, please consider leaving a simple review.
- As you may know, From Lex to Rex is about food. Like the protagonist here many people can´t access basic food, that´s why, as gratitude, next week I´ll make a donation to the charital food gathering held in my hometown.
Thank you so much, keep playing!
