- A new game appears - 28 July 2026
Hello dear followers,Today, it's a special announcement! It's been a bit more than a year since Zefyr's release, and during this time, I've been updating and fixing it, but also trying to prepare what will come next. And today I can finally share with you the brand new Steam page of my next game: Yashi - Sand Driver.👇Wishlist now👇 to support me and be notified on launchThis will hopefully push the game a bit more in the mysterious grand Steam machinery.So What is this game ?Here's the pitch: in an endless desert, you are Yashi, a lone survivor... until this radio signal changes everything. Jump in your van with your faithful coyote, drive across the wastelands, survive the heat, scavenge resources, craft tools, fight the elements & find your way to New Eden in this feel-good road trip.I'll let you check the Steam page for more details.Why a new game and not a sequel to Zefyr?Well, dev…
- v1.1.11 - Power off and typos - 2 July 2026
Hello everyone, long time no see!I come back with a small update on Zefyr:English localization has been improved by fixing small typos and weird wording sometimes, thanks to the detailed feedback from Slices on discord. Thank you so much 🙏I've added some theorically power-off proof mechanism for the saving system. It should have been the case already before, but an unlucky player experimented a save loss... So I had to dig deeper in my save system to see what was off. Thanks to him for reporting it. I learnt that the operating system has a cache system for file writing that may delay the real write on the disk. This should be now fixed (but I couldn't test it in real conditions. Hopefully it should be OK 🤞)And that's it.Have a great day, enjoy your summer if you can despite these crazy temperatures, and hopefully see you soon for... a new project 🤫.As always, thanks a lot for the ama…

- The Turtle Update v1.1.0 - 13 July 2025
Hello there! Here’s another update, bringing the game to version 1.1.0! This one focuses mainly on 🐢 turtle stuff and adds a small new level:Eïko (the main character) now has a little surfing animation when the turtle moves at medium speed. At high speed, he still crouches as before.The turtle can now perform a little trick while jumping! Just press the jump button again during the leap and enjoy. It has no gameplay purpose—it's just for fun 😄.A new collectible item has been added: the compass! When using the turtle, it displays a UI showing the cardinal directions. This should help you choose a global direction on the map and stick to it without constantly checking.And this new item is hidden in a small, optional new area: the Pirate Base. You'll have to look for it across the ocean. It might be a bit tedious to find if you already finished the main quest, but it should be easy to st…

Take care, peace! Mathias, the dev
- Update v1.0.47 - 21 June 2025
Hello, Here's another quick patch: Fix a possible death loop in water dungeon on breakable blocks At the end of the Clandestine Factory (desert tower), better show the chest with the magnetic bow upgrade Add help to move in the credits The name of the dog is now displayed in blue for better readability Add a little humorous help sign near the weight switch in desert tower the entrance of desert tower in now breakable/explodable from both sides in case you forget to explode it from the inside Buying items in the shop (bombs, apples, arrow) is now much faster. You still have to press the button 20x if you want 20 bombs, but it's way more fun and reactive. Fix a possible soft lock when getting out of Kisugi Tower by the bottom lift. Added Carlos Benedito as a proof reader for Spanish in the credits, thanks a lot for your time and expertise Carlos!. By the way, I also take the chance to lis…
- Revelation Melody - Update v1.0.46 - 18 June 2025
Hello there,As promised, I've been working on a new mechanics to help you find these last missing items/animals/flowers. Some of them can be pretty hard to find (yes, I'm looking at you Prison levels), so here it is! From now on (v1.0.46):There's a new very expensive melody sheet you can buy at Aqualums Painting shopEach time you play this "Revelation Melody", light rays will appear around animals, flowers, chests, paintings and a few key items too. This will only work 30 seconds in the local/current level.Here's how it looks like:Guess what? It also works on sea creatures:I hope this will help you! So why a buyable melody?1 - So that you can choose to use it or not (it's not a passive skill), and it relies on an already existing mechanics. Plus, I initially planned to add a 4th melody that I removed because I couldn't find a nice fit. Now we're talking! And I'm pretty sure some of you…
- Update 1.0.45 - 16 June 2025
Hello there, The latest update brings the following improvements: the vsync option is now correctly initialized at start, reading your previous settings. bigger hit collider for the lava boss (so it's a bit easier to shoot him with fruits. Lots of people tought that it wasn't the way to go because it didn't react due to a too small collider) in the desert pagoda, the room blocked by sand is not visible on the map anymore to avoid sending mixed signals: you just CANT go there. At the Governor's Garden, the ill dog is now quacking occasionnally to help you find it more easily. Plus it's absolutely logical given the ill ducks are barking. On Eolia & Aqualums, there are now wooden panels with text/symbols above the doors you can enter. In the Cells, I fixed positions, sizes and visibility of a few flowers that were quite hard to notice/find. I'm still working on a nice way to help you reach…

I still have other problems and fixes to come in my backlog thanks to all your kind feedback! More updates will come. Thanks a lot for your patience 🙏🙏🙏 Mathias, the dev
