And it's the return of a Code Lyoko video game produced by a fan for fans! The IFSCL (Interfaces Fictionnelles Simulées de Code Lyoko) returned earlier this month with a new release cycle (4.6.X).
If the only cycle released in 2023 featured an overhaul of the first chapters of the story mode, it's now time for Chapter 5 to reveal itself.
Once again, the real-world graphics have been fine-tuned, and new locations in Kadic College and the sewers make for an even deeper immersion in the series' universe.
What would IFSCL be without a healthy dose of interactivity to slip into the skin of Jérémie?
In this cycle, the laboratory gains useful new gameplay elements, panels to dismantle in the floors to retrieve location chips, and a panel to interact with the underused hologram from the original series.
We can also mention the appearance of aelita's cocoon, a Xana attack that is now interactive in the real world, and a Xana guardian that is far more advanced than in the past (including through a dedicated window).
Take a look at PulseNeon's video, which describes many of these new features.
After three releases (460 to 462) and various patches, this cycle was considered stable enough to complete its post-release in less than a month.
This is an important milestone for the project; to put it into perspective, the last post-releases of cycle 4.4.X & 4.5.X took 6 months each to complete.
In fact, this is the fastest post-publication since the "Cycles" system began in 2018!
Cycle 47X is therefore already in production, this time focusing particularly on quality of life (QOL) improvements for the player, and of course, a new chapter for the story mode. More info here
