Very basic stuff, just poke the spinner and try to get it spinning as quickly as you can. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26745812/4bbfbcc9f68fc2dc34477b47e5916ee09cb7a8d4.png A bunch of very minor glitch fixes and tweaks are also present in this patch.

This small patch should fix the issue where games were being displayed twice in the Game Library.

The latest version of NAL Is Alive is here, enabling "Pandora's Box", a collection of NAL's unreleased games, tech demos and unfinished projects. Most of these are minuscule in size and few are truly playable, but in all, Pandora's Box contains 162 new things to try out. More tech demos will be added, along with a big handful of alpha, beta and pre-alpha versions of complete games. There will also be extra information for each of the things in Pandora's Box added soon to improve sorting through the list.

Happy February! The latest update to NAL Is Alive includes the following: RKF - Game now runs in fullscreen and 1920x1080 resolution - Added online highscores and statistics http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26745812/a23079e366f1437e0d4b67312f9312a09058da26.png RKF is a minimalistic arcade game in which your turret, with increasingly complex drum-based gunfire, must fend off waves of deadly black splodges. And on the fixes side, one small one: Laughter's Infectious: - Highscores no longer reset themselves after each game

Features the following fixes: - Upgrades the save system to the new one, so your stats will be reset (should be the only time this happens for this game) - Speedrun mode now works - Upgraded some textures, the game's lighting system, and some extra stuff, so the game looks a little cleaner now http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26745812/acd7f9b098dccb57d535092e64881eea91ddee72.png http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26745812/45715eedc615a84e4f25a6e06c592215006ded1e.png - Upgrades the save system to the new one, so your stats will be reset (should be the only time this happens for this game) - KNOWN BUG INTRODUCED: Game does not display your current highscore correctly. It does, however, store it correctly, the Launcher shows it, and highscores in Steam are unaffected, so this is a low priority fix

Now live, does the following: Titan Tighten: If you complete the game and then play again immediately, your screw count will return to 0 Titan Tighten: Scores are now measured in milliseconds, not seconds Terminal Velocity 2: Scores reset when you exit to menu and play again PLEASE NOTE: Titan Tighten is the first (and currently only) game to receive an upgraded method of saving games; as a result, your progress for the game if you have already played it will be erased. This is a change that will work its way through the entire library of games in NAL Is Alive over time, so please bear that in mind - it will only happen once for each game, and we'll note which games receive this change in patchnotes as it occurs. This does not affect Steam achievements, though - if you have earnt achievements for game completion, they will remain achieved.

Hey all, hope you've had a good holiday and a happy new year! A new patch for NAL Is Alive is live now, which does the following: - Fixes an issue with the time that Innoquous 4's completion trophies unlock - Fixes the ordering of Innoquous 1's Speedrun leaderboard so that faster times are now better It also adds FKR11, the latest in NAL's yearly FKR series, along with NIA leaderboards. For now, FKR11 is exclusive to NAL Is Alive - and the version released later on stand-alone will not have the online leaderboards of the NIA version, so you're getting the best version first! http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26745812/122e9d61f591257c17478a4e4955d12d75a7889c.png http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26745812/2dc858216ddbd8c9ec25b8db419293c9254c4dd9.png Anyway, if you have any extra holidays off, we hope they serve you well. We're back to work now, so work on NIA is now officially resumed!

Small fix, this simply updates game highscores as you enter their "details" page on the Launcher. This should fix issues with people's names in the highscores appearing as "".

We're pleased to announce that the initial launch of NAL Is Alive in Early Access will be on the 17th of December - this Saturday! http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26745812/6fde6f75211a9c52329c3059b5d287712189cd75.png All 132 games included with this build will be playable (although 3 suffer some issues that halt gameplay). Of those, 85 feature statistics that sync with the launcher, including online leaderboards in most cases - see how you fare when your highscores, speedruns and other general victories are compared with the world. There are around 200 online leaderboards available across all games in the first version of NAL Is Alive, with plenty more to come. There are also 74 achievements across the games, again with hundreds more to come in the future. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26745812/30dbd51e04a3953c85190243bf994e5bc236ee49.png Over the holiday period we'll be continuing to address major issues, with full work resuming at the beginning of 2017 with the aim of a full, final release planned towards the end of 2017. As usual, if you have any queries about the game (or the 132 games!), we'll be happy to answer them!

As an update, we're looking to have NAL Is Alive out in an Early Access version as soon as possible - ideally by the end of 2016. This is largely due to the music used in many of the older games only being usable in non-commercial settings, and needing replacement. As we do this, we then also need to make them compatible with newer game development programs (they were built in versions of GameMaker as much as 13 years old). Once that is rectified, we can release NAL Is Alive in an early form, as we then begin the process of beautifying everything one game at a time and making the more basic/silly games a lot more enjoyable. Plenty of the games included already have Steam Leaderboard and launcher-based statistics support, though, which is great - and those systems will also be able to tie into easily implementing a very, very wide array of achievements at a later date. Thanks for your patience, and we're happy to answer any questions about the game.
