Just made a small patch to NAL Is Alive active, which fixes the following issues:
- Maddening Relapse 2: Online highscores are unformatted
- Maddening Relapse 2: Small artifacts on Daryl's jumping sprite
- Launcher: Changed to proper game icon
- Innoquous: Fixed issues with occasionally getting stuck in walls
- Penalties: one of the buttons errors the game out
- Aardvark Cwm: reaching the platinum causes a crash
First Early Access version launching December 17th!
We're pleased to announce that the initial launch of NAL Is Alive in Early Access will be on the 17th of December - this Saturday!
All 132 games included with this build will be playable (although 3 suffer some issues that halt gameplay).
Of those, 85 feature statistics that sync with the launcher, including online leaderboards in most cases - see how you fare when your highscores, speedruns and other general victories are compared with the world. There are around 200 online leaderboards available across all games in the first version of NAL Is Alive, with plenty more to come.
There are also 74 achievements across the games, again with hundreds more to come in the future.
Over the holiday period we'll be continuing to address major issues, with full work resuming at the beginning of 2017 with the aim of a full, final release planned towards the end of 2017.
As usual, if you have any queries about the game (or the 132 games!), we'll be happy to answer them! You can find a full list of games included in NAL Is Alive here: steamcommunity.com/games/485430/announcements/detail/585862253597591941

Melodika doesn't recognise MP3s you load into it. This will be fixed as soon as possible.
Fixes to the above are first priority for us - if we have time to fix them before the game comes out, we will. As mentioned prior, you can still play those games, they'll just not work in the ways listed.
Early Access release planned for as soon as possible
As an update, we're looking to have NAL Is Alive out in an Early Access version as soon as possible - ideally by the end of 2016.
This is largely due to the music used in many of the older games only being usable in non-commercial settings, and needing replacement. As we do this, we then also need to make them compatible with newer game development programs (they were built in versions of GameMaker as much as 13 years old).
Once that is rectified, we can release NAL Is Alive in an early form, as we then begin the process of beautifying everything one game at a time and making the more basic/silly games a lot more enjoyable.
Plenty of the games included already have Steam Leaderboard and launcher-based statistics support, though, which is great - and those systems will also be able to tie into easily implementing a very, very wide array of achievements at a later date.
Thanks for your patience, and we're happy to answer any questions about the game.
