The current version, if you don't know, has 5 complete Sectors/levels with tons of Action and a lot of puzzles, a 1 main story mode and 3 different arena modes with distinct game mechanic but all action oriented and with a nice arcade feeling!
Sector 6 is in coming soon - almost done:

THE BODY CHANGER: Linux UBUNTU version ready!



Finally THE BODY CHANGER is available also on UBUNTU!
After some hard work during last Christmas, everything seems to work as it should, as you can see from the new screenshots, below. The port took some time but it was worth it.

Please note that the requested version of Ubuntu is 14.04.1 and as usual if you want to give us some feedback, please let us know in the technical discussion.

Here some screens from UBUNTU version:






And it works perfectly also windowed:





So after this little digression we are currently building a new area and designing new puzzles for the next Sector.
The new area was in the begin a part from the new Sector but then we decide to change a bit things here and there and.. you will see. ;)

So with next news you will have maybe some new screens - and don't forget that Sector 6 is almost done but need to be added to the main game flow so very soon also this part will be available.

Until next time take care and have a great time,

We are in the TOP 100!

New ALPHA! Survive the 3 new ARENA MODES!



A new and HUGE update is finally available with a lot of nice things and a most of all: the 3 NEW GAME MODES are finally available!



To unlock the menu with the Arena Modes you need to finish sector 1 (so you will have reached the minimum of combat knowledge). After this you will be able to play with the first area - we will add more and more areas in the future alphas.

Any mode is about fighting and surviving but has a unique game mechanic with a special set of custom weapons, so it's not simple shot-or-die (and use and abuse of the combos for making points) but you need to follow the mission and kill as many as possible enemies (by making combos!).
Because the Arena Modes were born for having great time in fast plays and make more points as possible we will add soon STEAM LEADERBOARDS. So, train now as much as possible :D





But the update is not only about this, so here is our current development change log:





Next to come: include Sector 6 in current story mode, insert the leaderboards in the 3 new game mode, add the new GUI elements and continue with Sector 7.

So, let's hope you will hear the applause (???) when you will playing the new game modes, have a lot of fun and please comment if you have suggestions or just if you like it.
Please also spread the word and, if you have a Facebook account, why don't you follow us?

Until next time take care and have a great time,

Happy Halloween! Back on sale + preview

Happy Halloween!
Maybe you have seen that THE BODY CHANGER is currently also part of the STEAM HALLOWEENSALE so if you have only tried the demo and want to spare some bucks, the time is right.

On the development side, we have fixed some minor bugs (maybe you have seen the PINNED DISCUSSION about the progress) and added some more achievements icons.
The CARD are still in coming soon but with this news we would like to share to you one of the future sectors that you will find in the game.
It has a long and more complex puzzles, as it should be after the first 5 levels that you have played. So, be prepared. ;)

That all for today, enjoy the images, tell your friends and, again, Happy Halloween!









Barrell Rolling to an higher level! v. 0.5.18 is here!

Hi people
TBC is on STEAM since a week and the feedbacks were amazing!



Tks so much for the help and the suggestions... we are really listening to you and trying to make TBC the best game possible.
You sure have seen that we continue to make updates with fixes and new stuff, our toDO list now is really full, believe us ;)

Some comments in particularity made us very proud because more then one player said that TBC is not the typical PC game and also that the game puzzles make you finally think again.
No need to add more words, here. :) (we are touched)

But back to the current version that you can play here on Early Access (v. 0.5.18) which has a lot of improvements on the gameplay side.
Here is a little list that summarize, more or less, all the important things BUT let me just quote one in particular.

This one need a special mention because was very requested and sometimes criticize - it's a new shortcut for the Barrel roll!.
Now it's just: simply press twice right/left button and you will do a pretty nice Barrel roll, with which you can impress friends, parents, who you want.. :P
...and avoid big enemies so maybe you will ranting a little less ( maybe! :D ),

Ok, jokes aside, here's the list - directly from the pinned discussion:


  • Text hints on screen while loading - this should be really helpful for a better game experience
  • New weapon change shortcut: not only we support the mouse wheel but also the keyboard numbers, as asked from many users
  • New menu shortcut: click more times the INVENTORY BUTTON for switching between in-game menu tabs
  • Some new INFO DEVICES in some of the puzzle rooms - so, you won't get stuck ;)
  • Fixed a XBOX360 joypad bug with the default value
  • Added mouse scroll on menus but only over-events on the scrollbar (UI library limitation)
  • Fixed bug on first water change on Sector-01
  • Fixed Nexus behavior bug on green dummy during the quest S02
  • Fixed minor bug on Sector-04 and a hole on Sector-03
  • Removed health losing during barrel roll
  • Disabled teleporter if there are enemies around
  • UI overlap fixed when the chara finds ammo
  • Fixed some chara switching issue


If you had problems or bugs related to all this stuff, it's time to play TBC again and maybe write some feedback.
5 mins for you can really make the difference for us, as maybe you have seen with all the shortcuts on weapons and controls and the bugs.

That all for today.
Please if you can and like to support us, spread the word and tell your friend about TBC!

Have a Great week end.

17 hours to EARLY ACCESS!

Hi people!
Tomorrow is finally release time on EARLY ACCESS for THE BODY CHANGER!


DIRECT LINK HERE

First of all tks to all the players that has helped us to make current version very stable and that has posted comments and suggestions.
TBC has now 5 completely sectors/levels fully playable with all the puzzles and action moments.
We introduce some new things with the last updates, after reading what players has to say:


  • Text hints on screen while loading - this should be really helpful for a better game experience
  • New weapon change shortcut: not only we support the mouse wheel but also the keyboard numbers, as asked from many users
  • New menu shortcut: click more times the INVENTORY BUTTON for switching between in-game menu tabs
  • Some new INFO DEVICES in some the puzzle rooms - so, you won't get stuck ;)


During the period on EARLY ACCESS we will continue with the improvements, we will complete and end the other 5 levels, create new achievements, introduce the collectable artifacts (in all the levels) for increasing the replay value and make it more satisfying.
We would like to end and complete the final game at the beginning of 2015, let's say Febrary.

Also the cards are coming, sadly I'm late on this even if 3 are done and also a lot emoticons are complete (we just need to choose which one to use).

Ok, that's all for today. :)
Have fun with the game and please spread the word and tell your friends!
