Oléti, The Awaceb Team All new content coming to Tchia in the Steam Release!Mar 1, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHere is every piece of new content that will come to Tchia from Day 1 of the Steam Release! We've worked hard on these new features to add to the experience of Tchia, and we're excited that you'll all get to explore our world soon! SOUL MELODIES Spawn Food Immediately summon a - frankly ridiculous - amount of food in a circle around you, to replenish your stamina. Stash the leftovers in your backpack for later! It's Fast Food the Tchia way! Random Cosmetics Don't spend hours fretting over your outfit - let the game decide. Who says you can't wear a shark hat with a clown outfit? Not us, that's for sure. This randomises all of your cosmetics :) Acrobat Mode Why jump a reasonable height when you could jump a completely ridiculous height and distance? Spin in the air faster and pull off the best flips and tricks you could possibly imagine. Human Torch Become fire! Your slingshot will be able to shoot fireballs, and every object you touch EXPLODES! Super good for clearing camps. Super Boat Your boat can go super duper fast with this. Fun for exploration, and for doing super quick sea zoomies. The fish will be in awe. Invoke Boat Forgot where you parked your sea vessel? Worry not. Summon a boat whenever needed, and sail the seas without a care. COSMETICS PERKS Attract Animals Wear a full outfit of a certain animal, and you'll suddenly find them following you wherever possible! Lead a gang of sharks, crabs, or cows, or birds, or - well, any animal in Tchia. Has no benefit other than looking super cool. COMFORT SETTING Infinite Soul-Meter You will be able to find this in your comfort settings. Tired of your Soul Meter depleting? Here's a way for you to play soul melodies to your hearts content without the bar ever going down... Be a bird forever, the sky's the limit! Now that March has arrived, we're thrilled to get the game into your hands soon! Oléti, The Awaceb TeamGet to know: Soul Melodies!Feb 9, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsIn Tchia, you can use your ukulele to play a Soul Melody. Each one comes with a special effect, and you unlock them as you progress through the game. From the release on Steam in March, there will be 21 Soul Melodies in the game available to unlock and play. Once unlocked, you can play them whenever you wish - though be aware there’s a cooldown between uses (and that varies between the abilities). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/75375029144a75345e47c02615da459c4e110dcb.png These have all been designed to heighten exploration, add dynamic to combat, and make tasks easier where there may be limited resources in an area. You will often use a Soul Melody to alter the time of day, summon an animal to Soul Jump into, change the weather, or bounce to inaccessible locations. The game originally had 14 Soul Melodies, but we are adding an additional 7 just in time for the Steam launch! We will reveal them all soon, but enjoy a sneak peak at one of our faves! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/a83162c96f0b0af94c69635ec14eed52cc0f27fc.png When you equip full costumes of certain animals, you’ll get the ability to attract them to you, allowing you to be the leader of a gang of Crabs! Or Sharks! Or Chickens, or cows… there are quite a lot of possibilities. We are so excited to get this into your hands next month! Oléti ~ AwacebTchia: A Love Letter to New CaledoniaJan 30, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! Awaceb here… Some of you may know this, some of you may not, but our studio was founded by two childhood friends from New Caledonia. Our culture, history, and experiences were integral to creating Tchia… Ah wait - where is New Caledonia you ask? Well… it’s a little island in the middle of the pacific! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/98f617c98e0110937da79854da71d3cfe7ca3b3b.png So… Tchia draws from all aspects of New Caledonian culture. Landscapes, music, languages, folklore, and traditions have all been used as inspiration to create the world that you play within. We drew from NC in a literal sense - such as recreating iconic landmarks from the island, and having characters who speak in NC native languages Drehu and French - and in a metaphorical sense, by making the influence of animals and the natural world a focal point of the gameplay and storyline. The game showcases the customs, beliefs, and traditions of the indigenous Kanak people of New Caledonia, but is not intended to be a recreation of our history or culture. It is more like a love letter to the island and the people, and you do not need to know about our culture or traditions before entering the game (but we hope you enjoy learning about them)! The element of Soul Jumping in Tchia was influenced by tales of shape-shifting in folklore, and brings to the game a crucial and incredibly fun mechanic - ICYMI, we deep-dove into that in our last Steam News Post. The ability to navigate land, sky, and sea as an animal is a reflection of the importance and respect for nature that is ingrained into our culture. The thing is, when you think of a tropical island, most people default to the sea… sandy beaches, palm trees, etc. And of course we have that in Tchia, but there is so much more. The amount of biomes in New Caledonia is quite surprising and so unique, and we wanted to make sure that it was captured. For example, in Tchia you will travel to areas inspired by Lifou (home of the language Drehu which you hear in the game). This island is lush, full of greenery and incredible cliffs, and has a very prolific endemic snake species that swims underwater. See if you can spot it in the game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/5830033ac61ec7bc86fd8530d305592208d3e134.png Another biome within Tchia takes inspiration from Bourail, located in the north of New Caledonia, which is covered in volcanic sand and is known for its massive Quartz monolith… that looks quite like a human head. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/2f7982a4a59e6ce32e17928bd5e0be718fca28d1.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/5430e5a4640937fa491d764e33f2c5e6ff20267a.png Though the rich landscapes of NC have incredible influence over our game, the people of New Caledonia played the biggest part in shaping Tchia into what it is. The island is full of different cultures with different ways of living, and we wanted to reflect that richness within the game. There are amazing local people who worked on the game. The game’s depictions of Kanak cult...In Tchia, you can be anything!Jan 19, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsBozu, Steam! We are so excited to bring the world of Tchia to you in March! Before then, we want to get you familiar with one of the core mechanics in the world of Tchia: Soul Jumping! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/178cdbdf11fb7552f1c88721e8448ed6f436a0a3.png With Soul Jumping, Tchia enters a sort of hypnotic… trance. This trance slows time around Tchia, allowing her to take precise aim at her targets - which are highlighted in green! Once ready, the Soul Jump activation button can be pressed and Tchia will warp into the target, taking control of it! The ability to Soul Jump appears early in the game, but it isn’t immediately mastered. You’ll grow and learn with Tchia as she gets to grips with this ability, allowing her to control targets for longer by unlocking additional Soul Meter slots. These are unlocked by completing challenges as you progress through the story. Increasing the number of slots that you have will give you the ability to experiment more with combinations of Soul Jumps, and open more fun combat and exploration opportunities! Using Soul Jumps {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/78c7cf873359793af37a081afefd6ec6710b8257.png The Soul Meter can be seen above in Green! It will drain depending on the actions that you take whilst controlling an animal or an object. This tends to be directly correlated with the potential of what is being controlled. If you want to be a coconut, go ahead! It will drain your Soul Meter slowly… as it is a coconut and has quite limited mechanical potential. If you’re a bird, and you want to soar great distances, you will find that it is more draining on your Soul Meter. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/35b5e73185ab3e68fc988f41c5cbc9c33cca4932.png The biggest thing with Soul Jumping is to consider what an animal could do before you jump into it. Crabs have big pincers - could those break chains? Dogs love to dig… could you find treasure with one? Could you swim to the depths of the ocean as a turtle? The mechanic is designed so that you feel limitless and can think creatively! As mentioned - with the coconuts, for example - you can Soul Jump into objects and not just animals. The game has a physics–based movement system that makes controlling objects feel super fun. You can warp into something flammable, explosive, or unassuming, and use a Soul Throw to aim and shoot yourself at a target (and you’ll warp out of it at the same time, saving you from harm). Here is a video that covers all of the above and more if you want to delve deeper! There are over 30 playable objects in Tchia and each presents a plethora of unique opportunities that will really alter your gameplay. We hope that you love it when you experience it! And new to Tchia in March will be the accessibility setting Infinite Soul Meter. This will give you the option of having a Soul Meter that never depletes, allowing you to fly, swim, and fling to your heart's content! Oléti! The Awaceb Team Best Open World 2023: TchiaDec 23, 2023 - PC GamerThanks to its delightful sandbox traversal, Tchia became our favourite open world game of the year. For more awards, head to our Game of the Year 2023 hub... Read more.🏆 We took home a Game Award... 🌴Dec 15, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsLast week we took home a trophy from the Game Awards. That feels surreal on its own - but for it to be for “Games With Impact” has stirred a lot of emotions in us. When we set out to make Tchia, we had two missions in mind; The first was to make a fun and engaging game that offered a really cool and unique take on the open world exploration genre, and the second was to share a little bit of New Caledonian culture through an original world and story infused by local folklore, landscapes, music, people... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/a248e1d072c7a4beacb3bb46819c4311910da5d6.png To us, the response to the game at launch, and the fun people had with some of our unique mechanics (Soul-Jumping, Ukulele...) is an accomplishment of the former; last week's Game Award is a validation of the latter. At the beginning, Tchia was our own little dream. We can remember those days playing GTA as kids and thinking, "Man, what if they did this in our hometown?" Tchia is us turning that dream into a reality. In the early game, you are slowly eased into the vibe and rhythm of Tchia and her father's simple lives, which is a reflection of how peaceful life in NC can be… It gets wayyyy crazier as you progress through the game, though. :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/ae55d9eb06e35eb786c301633675cd9281d8bfda.png Games for Impact celebrates games with a strong social and cultural message, which is at the heart of everything that we've tried to do with Tchia, so getting this recognition is an immense honor. When you load up the game, we really want you to feel like you've traveled to the other side of the world, and at the same time bring a feeling of familiarity and safety... like you've found a new home. New Caledonia isn't just a pretty backdrop; it's the heartbeat of Tchia. We dived deep into local folklore, sprinkled in native languages, got our tunes from talented local artists, and recreated the diverse New Caledonian ecosystems - landmarks included. It wasn't random; it was our secret sauce, making everything stick together like glue. And now we know that’s resonated. Incredible. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322183/5690b377e0ee3ae16147669b61d8a4d0338bbadc.png Alongside our Steam release next year, we've got new content dropping! All the cool stuff we couldn't cram in at launch is on its way, bundled in a sweet update for everybody. Get ready for new Soul-Melodies (that "Acrobat" one is a game-changer), and dig the outfit perks that attract animals. Picture having your own gang of crabs, following you around as sidekicks!! A literal dream. Oléti atraqatr. Your support is everything. ~ AwacebGame Awards nominated Tchia finally gets long-awaited Steam releaseDec 1, 2023 - PCGamesNWith a Game Awards nomination under its belt, while at first glance Tchia looks like just another cozy game, it's so much more.

Эти изолированные острова в Тихом Океане являются настоящей капсулой времени, ведь их экосистема сохранила поистине доисторический облик. Именно здешние пейзажи часто используются для всевозможных псевдокументальных сцен с участием дорисованных на компьютере динозавров. В эпоху колониализма Новая Каледония стала — и до сих пор остаётся — зоной влияния Франции, поэтому не случайно, что попавшая к нам в редакцию приключенческая игра Tchia, созданная как дань уважения к этому экзотическому острову, разработана франкоговорящими канадцами из независимой студии Awaceb, базирующейся в Монреале.
