Greetings, Lyoko Warriors !
It’s been some time since our last update, and we’re back to announce some major changes to the project. We’ve taken a critical look at the game’s development and acknowledged the major issues not only with the game, but with the project as whole.
In the past, our enthusiasm for Code Lyoko RDT sometimes led us to attempt features of which we couldn’t assure the stability nor the gameplay quality. This resulted in content that wasn’t fully polished and ultimately impacted your experience with the game. We hear your feedback, and the upcoming update reflects a shift in focus:
Â
Quality of Life Enhancements: We’re prioritizing gameplay stability and flow. Expect a wave of bug fixes and tweaks aimed at making your time in Lyoko way smoother.
Â
Sustainable Development: We’ve reassessed our development process to ensure future updates deliver a more polished experience. This also means focusing on features that we can deliver within our capabilities as an indie team.
Â
We really appreciate the patience and continued support that our community has shown throughout this journey, we could never thank you enough.
Stay tuned for more details about the upcoming update !
While core gameplay improvements remain paramount, the update isn’t all about bug fixes. We’re also excited to introduce brand new monsters to Lyoko, thanks to a collaboration with Rocket Punk and Sacha Distil, the masterminds behind “Project Aftermath” fan-made animations currently in the making.
Here are some sneak peeks of the new monsters created by Rocket Punk. Some were inspired by the NDS game , some by Quest for Infinity game, and some were completely created, always with the Code Lyoko art style in mind.
0.5.4 Update will notably include :
The Volcanoid
The Hornet
The Megatank
The Kankrid
The Mygale
The Mantikor
The Skorpion
Xana is gaining power ! Hop in free mode to discover 3 new events that will occur during xana attacks :
Â
Boss event – Xana will occasionally challenge your inner warrior and send it’s best soldiers on the field. Once you get into the ring, there’s no going back. We really don’t recommend fleeing away from this challenge as it will potentially let Xana activate a tower.
Â
Wiring leakage event – Xana is exploiting the power of the cables at it’s advantage, you’ll have to travel throughout the sectors in order to fix them. But keep your guard up, Xana doesn’t like Lyoko warriors getting into it’s dark businesses !
Â
Parasite area – Xana will try to take control of an area, get there as fast as you can and see Xana’s energy bar go down as you defeat it’s monsters inside the area.Â
Most interfaces have been reworked for a smoother, more user-friendly experience (and they are now fully functional with a controller ! )
0.5.2 is coming with lots of bug fixes. We didn’t have time to sufficiently test the game as we announced the release way too soon. We’d like to adress a big thank you to all those who opened bug reports, we would have never discovered all of them by ourselves. Along with lots of bug fixes and improvements, the creeper is officially coming to the 0.5.2 for you to try and fight it !

This version includes :Â
Â
-Access to the custom singleplayer game mode (free roam),
-Kadic Academy, free to explore, featuring 2 entrances to the sewers and one to the factory (at the gates) but keep in mind that Kadic is far from complete,
-The Sewers, that currently serve no gameplay purpose, but will come handy especially in the upcoming story mode,
-The Factory, that allows players to enter Lyoko if Jeremy or Aelita are at the computer that you can find in Jeremy’s laboratory that you can find using the elevator, level -1,
-Access to the Mountain, Ice, Forest and Desert sectors,
-An advanced prototype of the combat system that we’re aiming for, we recommend checking the documentation to get the most out of it
-Lots of bugs that will be fixed in the next patch.
It has been a long journey to get to this first version and despite all the bugs and stuff, we hope that CL fans can enjoy the game !
