• Master Key second anniversary! - 17 May 2026

  Havenlocked is in the works!Earlier this month, I released the 1.0 version of Skigill. This means I am ready to fully focus on my next project, Havenlocked!It's the direct sequel to Master Key, and will feature mostly the same gameplay, but with an even greater focus on exploration and secrets.I announced Havenlocked more than a year ago, before starting Skigill. Since then, I spent most of my time with it on the level design, with placeholders and blocks. Game development is unpredictable, and I have been building it rather horizontally, so I do not have much to show yet.But I also practiced pixel art a bit! Check out this sample, I think you'll already be able to spot a difference compared to last year's.Unique featuresThe colors are not an update of the art style. In Havenlocked they will be part of the exploration and the gameplay. You will have to explore to conquer the world with…

• Master Key's first anniversary! - 23 May 2025

  Hello, This week marks the first anniversary of Master Key's release. First, I want to thank all the players who played and loved Master Key. Thank you for your reception and support. If you don't already own the game, now is the best time to get it or gift it, with a 40% discount on all platforms! Some of you might be wondering what I have been up to this year. And I think it is the best opportunity for an announcement. Check out my most recent project: Skigill https://store.steampowered.com/app/3657180/Skigill/ Skigill is a bullet-hell roguelike survivor with a huge skill tree! The controls are simple; Skigill only uses the directions and a button. Move around and dodge enemies while your character automatically deals with them with the weapons. Then collect the resources left by the enemies to power up and survive. The main particularity of Skigill is its skill tree. In Skigill, you…

• Havenlocked reveal! - 15 December 2024

  Earlier this year I released Master Key, and I really enjoyed my time making it! Thanks to your support and love for the game, but also because I wanted to explore other ideas, I could not resist the urge to work on another game. Havenlocked takes place on a paradise island, far from civilization and surrounded by ocean as far as the eye can see. Explore the island, its depths, and the sea, all filled with nature, puzzles, and strange monsters. Uncover secrets and escape! Havenlocked will focus on ideas not explored in Master Key, such as a twin world system, different themes, and a new style of dungeon design. It will also expand and improve upon the exploration, non-linear progression, secrets, and puzzling! Wishlist it on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3318450/Havenlocked/ And support it on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/778295166/havenlocked

• Cloud saves - 6 August 2024

  The cloud saves are now available! The cloud save system is disabled by default. To enable it, go to the main menu setting and ensure that the button with a cloud and Steam icon is not barred. The process will turn your saved data into a JSON file that you can find here: WINDOWS: C:\Users\yourname\AppData\LocalLow\Achromi\Master Key LINUX: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME//unity3d/Achromi/Master Key MAC: ~/Library/Application Support/Achromi/Master Key It will then be downloaded through Steam Cloud and replace your previously saved data once you start the game. The JSON is updated when you load the main menu (including after quitting from a loaded save), or quit using the power button on the right. However, the cloud save system is still in beta. I recommend backing your saves up in case you encounter a bug. You can find your saves for Master Key in the regedit under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Achromi\…

• Difficulty Update - 23 May 2024

  Hello, I received your feedback about the difficulty of Master Key. The previous difficulty modes were hidden as color palettes, I decided to move them to a dedicated slider alongside the music and SFX sliders. https://imgur.com/a/YijPBIc Along with this slider come two new difficulties, Very Easy and Very Hard: Very Easy: double damage, armor, long invincibility frames, boosted health regeneration, full health refill on respawn, and no enemy respawn! Easy: +1 damage, invincibility frames, boosted health regeneration. Normal: no modifier. Hard: more enemies, 1.5x damage taken. Very Hard: more enemies, 2x damage taken, no health regeneration. Select Normal if you want a difficulty close to the first Zelda games. Select Easy for an easier yet challenging experience closer to later Zelda games. Select Very Easy if you only want to explore and solve puzzles. Select Hard and Very Hard if you…

• Master Key is out! - 17 May 2024

  I am very happy to announce that the game is now available on Steam! You can go play it! But maybe you would like to hear about a few things to enjoy it to the fullest? There is no wrong path. You will make progress wherever you go. If you can enter a dungeon, you can beat it. Don't dive into the danger head first. Instead, if it seems too hard, explore to gather more power-ups, and then come back. That is true for smaller monsters as well, don't hesitate to retreat when one is getting too close. Some are heavy and won't budge. Don't be afraid to spend money. There's plenty of it to be found to buy food and still buy the rest of the stuff in the shops. You should try alternate palettes, my favorite is the green one. It's possible to reduce the size of the window to the one of a GBA, try it! Complete the main game before the nonograms. That way the nonograms won't spoil you and you will…
