Okay. I’ve finished it. I’m releasing alpha 4.0. Please look in the forums to find the url ^^ There’s loads of updates in this version. I sent you guys an e-mail anyway. Only whom reported bugs in alpha 3.0 will get access to alpha 4.0.

Okay. I said I was going to release the alpha in like two days but evidently I was wrong. I encountered 9 bugs ….

I know I’ve not posted in a month. Sorry. I was traveling Europe and I had truly a lot of fun =) Meanwhile, though, I did get a chance to work on HFA. I fixed all the bugs reported for alpha 3.1 and now am about to release alpha 4. Give me a couple of days. I’ve been spriting backgrounds for the game, but they’re tremendously time-consuming. The next post will include a screenshot with some new spritework, etc. The story again has been changed (hopefully to a more sinister one) and this time I want to keep it for myself. I could say that religion is an important theme, but maybe some people would bash me if it wasn’t at the end. So, in short, everything’s well, HFA seems to be progressing silently (which is good) and hopefully after alpha 4 I can start level-creation.

I need testers :s I think we’re already enough. All of the testers seem promising, so I hope we get to finish a good game ^^. In regards to the engine, I’ve already finished it (hopefully–I’ve released alpha 3 just a few moments ago) so I’ll be able to start level building rather soon. I’m going to europe for a month, but I’ll take my good-old-fashioned laptop so I can work on it and still be present as much as I can. I’ve also added two new special movements which will allow you to explore the levels even more. I’ll keep on posting regularly if I don’t happen become a participator in a plane-crash and end up in an island somewhere with hostile natives and wherein evil corporations reside. And wherein there is no such word as Starbucks.

The website is back! Back in English, that is. Two things: I’ll be updating regularly in regards to HFA, engine of which has already been finished. Which brings me to the 2nd thing. I need the alpha testers to send an email to hfabeta (at) alonso-martin.com . This because, as you can see, the forums died along with the past site, and I don’t think them necessary anyway. When I’ve your email addresses, I’ll send a general email with the download info, etc.

For the while, as I promised, here’s a new screenshot:
