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 pag

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 amazing support.
Take care, peace!

Hello everyone!
Today here's the v1.1.10 fix update, a very big one that cover many aspects of the game! Here's what to expect:
Soft locks
I've fixed 5 soft locks that could happen in the game on very rare occasions:
you can now push the dog in the Governor's Garden so if it corners you somehow, you can escape.
fix the bug where you spawn on a turtle inside buildings after loading an old save (especially in robot factory... again!)
now it's impossible to climb inside the Kisugi tower with the grapple only (you could previously by-pass the key card item, and it resulted in being softlocked inside the tower)
fix jump in tunnels sometimes leading to endless "flying/falling" mode
higher ramps around the weight switch pirate in the Clandestine Factory, so that he can't fall down anymore (avoiding the softlock)
Quality of Life
I've made getting optionnal stuff easier:
Bigger triggers for seagulls, eagles and koi fishes! So it's easier to cure these end game animals.
Now there are chests containing the optionnal island maps so that you can't miss them anymore once you have the chest detector. This includes Pirate Base, Focus Island, Whale Shore and Lightness Island.
Similarly, the Sun melody is in a chest now too, so you can find it in the end game if you missed it before.
Same thing with the "last missing" chocolate in the Counsellor's villa, the only one that you could miss.
Now there's a way to refill bombs when you confront Hakir, the Desert Guardian, right on spot, without needing you to get back to the bomb shop on Eolia island.
Dialog text now autosizes, so that longer lines are still readable.
Of course, the new chests will break your 100% if you already had it. But it'll be a matter of minutes to get them all. And because you obviously already had all the maps and items, you'll get a disappointing red magnetite. Sorry 😅
Bugs
Now you can't have the "100%" achievement without having the "all maps" achievement first
The map tab completion rate in the link now also takes into account the maps you unlock, not only the collectibles items.
fixed the "you can go through lava to get on floor 5 of robotfactory because of a hole in the decor"
fix a missing part of the mines map on floor -2
the aqualums library name displays correctly on map now
And that's it! Few, that was quite a bunch of improvements! Thanks a looooooot to you all guys and girls for all the feedback and reports you have been filling 🙏🙏🙏. This helps me so much to fix the game.
And thanks a lot for all the incredible reviews you have been writing, this really cheers me up everytime 😍.
Have a great day, and see you next time!
Take care, peace!

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 stumble across while exploring if you're discovering the game.
That’s it! I hope you'll enjoy this little update 💙
Don't forget to follow my Steam developer page if you don't want to miss anything in the future:

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 list and thank all the translators of the game who did an amazing job:

English: Anneline Fontmarty
Spanish : my dad Francis Fontmarty
Portuguese from Brazil: Rinaldo Alípio Bueno who also made A TON of feedback as a beta tester and who achieved to complete 100% when the game was still broken and missed a few detectors. Crazy job there my friend.
So thank you very much to this kind people, and thanks to you too, dear readers and players, for giving me the amazing feedback and reporting bugs after launch, this helps me to fix the game as soon as possible.
Don't forget to leave a review if you haven't already, or speak about the game to your friends if you found it cool! I must say the sales are not that great now, despite some super nice reviews. 🙏🙏🙏
You are gold. Have a great day, take care, peace!

Revelation Melody - Update v1.0.46

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 shop
Each 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 would still like to go hardcore with no hints. It's up to you 😊
2 - Now the big money you have in the end game will be of some use. Of course, given it's pretty expensive, you won't be able to afford it before approaching the 100%, but that's when it's gonna be the most useful.
Anyways, if you've already reached the 100%, your completion rate will go down to 99% in your save slot (because of the missing new melody sheet). But you'll keep your 100% Steam achievement.
By the way, I improved the computation of the completion rate because flowers were getting all the attention (given there are more than 600...). Now it's more balanced, giving equal importance to quests, inventory, status or animals.
Hope you'll like it!
Have a great day, take care, peace!

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 the 100% and find the last missing items. This shall come in the next releases
The main lift in the Robot Factory now reinits at lower position each time you reload the level. This enables to go back up anytime you want. Some of you told me it was frustrating because the pirate chase forces you to leave the island before completing it. And if you come back, you can't get up again because the lift stayed in upper position. Of course, you could still get back later with the grapple, but it was a friction point indeed. So NOW you can come back anytime you want, still get up there and complete the island sooner, before getting the grapple.
As always, thanks a lot for your feedback, it is awesome! I keep working to improve the game.
Have a great day, take care, peace!
