Hey there Glitchhikers fans!

We've got some super exciting news to share with you today - Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between has been nominated for not one, not two, but SIX awards at the 2023 Canadian Indie Game Awards happening tonight in Toronto! How awesome is that?!

We've been nominated for Best Studio, Best Debut Indie Game, Best Art Direction, Best PC Game, Best Score/Soundtrack, and Best Narrative. We couldn't be more proud of the entire team who poured their heart and soul into this project.

We couldn't have done it without your support, so we wanted to say a huge thank you to all of our fans who have played, shared, and championed Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between. Your enthusiasm for our little indie game means the world to us!

If you would like to watch the ceremony it will be streamed live on Twitch tonight at 7pm ET/ 4pm. You can watch it here.

We'll be sure to keep you all updated on how we do at the awards ceremony. Fingers crossed for some wins, but just being nominated alongside so many other amazing indie games is a huge honor.

Thanks again for all your support, and we'll see you out there on the digital highways and byways!

Join us on Twitch at 3pm PT/6pm ET for a special Glitchhikers Anniversary Twitch Stream hosted by our Creative Director, Claris Cyarron.

She'll be doing a live demonstration of the Glitchhikers Videopak, a free visualizer and toy we've made for fans that would like to make Glitchhikers Themed Music Videos, or use as an interactive screensaver. For more information, you can also watch this video tutorial.

Come vibe, reflect on the past year of Glitchhikers Journeys, and watch Claris play with her pet synths to create some chill music perfect for ending your week. Stick around for the AMA at the end if you have music, synth, or Glitchhikers questions. You can also join the chat to tell us about your favourite Glitchhikers memories :stars:

To get in the mood you can listen to Claris’s special Glitchhikers anniversary playlist on Spotify and YouTube.

Hello to our fellow hikers, dreamers, and stargazers. It seems almost impossible to believe, but we’ve reached the first anniversary of Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between!

Today's celebration is packed with exciting surprises for Glitchhikers fans. Firstly, we are thrilled to announce that a new patch for the game is now available, bringing several quality of life improvements that will enhance your gaming experience. See the full patch below!


In addition to this, we have also updated our website, glitchhikers.com, adding a Cool Zone section with details about every single hiker you can encounter in the game. There’s a little information about each, along with exactly where and how each hiker can be found in the game. If you’re trying to complete your own Cool Zone, or are interested in how exactly our content filters affect hiker appearances, this is the perfect resource for you.



But wait, there's more! We're also releasing a Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between “B-Side & Extras” EP with nine all-new songs and variations (because in the eyes of our Lead Composer, Devin Vibert, our 71-song Deluxe Soundtrack was feeling a little light).



For more of a Glitchhikers music fix, we have a special livestream over on Twitch tonight hosted by Claris Cyarron, our Creative Director and Glitchhikers Co-composer. The Glitchhikers Anniversary Synth Jam will be a chill, musical, hangout where we can reflect on the last year, and watch Claris play with her pet synths and Glitchhikers Videopak. To get in the mood, you can also check out her Glitchhikers Anniversary Playlist, or check out the never-before-released Glitchhikers Suite Live Performance by the UBC Orchestra from Games in Music last year.


To top it all off, we're thrilled to announce that this is the biggest sale in Glitchhikers history, with a whopping 35% off! It's the perfect time to dive into the game and immerse yourself in the world of Glitchhikers.

You can read more about this in our Anniversary blog post, which also features an interview between Double Jump and two of the founding Glitchhikers creators, Studio Director Lucas J.W. Johnson and Technical Director Audrey Storey.
