  Dear fans - the game is not supposed to look like this:Our faithful Streamer connection Dalkiel was able to send us an email notifying us of this visual bug. As of now this issue has been fixed if you update your version of Alter Evo you will be good to go.I am deeply sorry to those of you who played the game and encountered this bug - if you play now you will not see it again!

• Alter Evo is 50% off for Cyberpunk Fest - 3 August 2026

  We're pleased to announce that Alter Evo is part of Cyberpunk Fest! What is cyberpunk about Alter Evo?In our game you drive a hover car to travel around an over-world, fight against half-human, cybernetic enemies, develop intense relationships with mysterious characters, and start out in the slums of the society as an unemployed "have not". We were drawn to a futuristic setting because of the way it allows us to explore the excitements and fears associated with technology. We were inspired by the grittiness and thematic edge of Cyberpunk 2077, and look forward to exploring dark, futuristic worlds in our coming projects.If you are a content creator needing graphics for your videos, check out our presskit. If you played Alter Evo, leave a review on our Steam page to help us connect with more players: Sincerely, Technical Fiction

• Nice to meet you, I am Leon. - 20 June 2026

  GreetingsWhat’s up friends?It’s Leon from Technical Fiction. I am the engineer and designer who built 90% of Alter Evo. I also collaborated with a handful of very cool people for the art, sound, voice acting, and animation aspects of the game.A little bit about me - I worked in the game industry for 10 years and shipped 5 games for various employers before I became a full time indie dev in 2023. I had a strong background in film-making and music before I committed myself to game development in my early twenties. I built my first games in middle school using a game engine called Klik n Play.My favorite artists are David Lynch, Franz Kafka, and Takayoshi Sato, the character designer for Silent Hill 2. When I make games I always start out with programming and level design. I never know what the story is until after I’m prototyping the game. I focus on interesting interactions I can create…

• YouTuber Coverage and Steam Reviews - 18 May 2026

  It's been almost two weeks since the Alter Evo Launch, and it's a huge relief to have the game out in the wild. It's been inspiring to see YouTubers like oboeshoetwos cover Alter Evo on their own accord.

Whether it's positive or negative, each review helps us understand our audience a little bit better. We're reading every review and using the overall sentiments to help guide our future projects.

• Bringing Brunilda to Life: Seven Systems Working as One - 12 May 2026

  Thanks to everyone who has played Alter Evo so far. We appreciate your comments and reviews. Keep them coming.We finally have some time to dive behind the scenes into how we built it. One X user commented that "Brunilda is the waifu to end all waifus." So we thought that we would start by breaking down how we turned her from a boring 3d model into a stunning starlet:01PipelineConcept Art → Character Creator 5Every character starts as a piece of concept art. We use that as direct reference inside Character Creator 5 to sculpt, texture, and rig — keeping the artistic intent intact before anything ever touches the engine. The CC5 export pipeline into Unity 6 is where the magic (and the headaches) begin.02PluginReallusion Auto SetupOnce the character hits Unity, the Auto Setup plugin handles material remapping, shader assignment, and LOD configuration automatically. https://www.reallusion.c…

• 1 Week Until Launch! - 30 April 2026

  At its core, Alter Evo is a save the princess story with a dark twist. Brunilda is wanted dead because of a video game that she made.What's her game within the game?It's called Solitaria, a disturbing art house project that went viral. But the attention it brought was the wrong kind. As the daughter of a wealthy, corrupt patriarch, Brunilda becomes a sitting duck - first for public ridicule and doxxing, then for something far darker.You might be wondering - what’s so bad about this Solitaria game? How could it impact Brunilda's life in such a dramatic way?This leads us to one of Alter Evo's unique mechanics - secret puzzles and secret levels. Players with a keen eye for mystery and conspiracy will be able to notice a puzzle that is introduced in the very beginning of the game but cannot be solved until right before the end. This puzzle is very difficult to identify and solve because it…
