[h2]Hey, hello! 👁️[/h2][h3]
Huh, this is actually the last devlog before the release on Thursday... Oh boy, the time flies! Well then... Let me tell you a little bit about how Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair was made! [/h3][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🟨 It's time to... Breathe 🟨[/h3][p][/p][p]The idea for the second part of Bulb Boy didn't come immediately after finishing work on the first one. We needed a break - some distance, some time to miss our light bulb world again. After the release of Poopdie and its second episode, we focused on experimenting with new prototypes, ideas, and directions. It was a period of searching. We surely wanted to feel that the next project would be something special, not just a sequel for the sake of a sequel.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🟨 An ordinary situation but an extrordinary story 🟨[/h3][p][/p][p]At one point, the question arose: what if our next game is Bulb Boy 2? That sentence opened up a flood of ideas. From the very beginning, we knew that if we were to return to this world, it would have to be an intimate story, one that takes place in a small, closed world, among a limited number of characters. We love this kind of atmosphere, where the characters' emotions and small gestures can say more than hundreds of words of dialogue.[/p][p][/p][p]That's how the idea for this particular adventure was born, one that begins with something completely ordinary: dinner and... No jam on the table. It's a minor event that, in our style, quickly spirals out of control and leads to disturbing, bizarre events. In the world of Bulb Boy, even the simplest activities can turn into something surreal and terrifying.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🟨 New vision & visuals 🟨[/h3][p][/p][p]This time, we wanted to approach the project in a completely different way. Szymon prepared the first concepts – this time in color, which immediately gave the game world a completely different tone. Instead of gloomy black and gray, colors reminiscent of 90s animations appeared. We wanted Bulb Boy 2 to look like a good cartoon movie - one that we ourselves would have enjoyed watching as children. The colors were not only meant to enliven the game world, but also to contrast with its dark humor and the emotional weight of the story.[/p][p][/p][p]Back to the roots with new energy! [/p][p][/p][p]When creating the sequel, we didn't want to copy the previous game. We wanted to preserve the spirit of the original, its grotesque charm, disturbing atmosphere, and emotional charge but at the same time introduce something fresh. New gameplay ideas, refreshed visuals, and subtle changes to the narrative were meant to make players feel like it was the same world... but more mature, more cinematic, and full of surprises. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]
My dear friends!

Today, as the release approaches and we're just two days away from it, I feel the same thrill of excitement that I felt before the release of the first part. Many years have passed, but one thing has not changed - I still want to create games that evoke emotions that can be remembered long after the screen is turned off. 💛[/h3][h3][/h3][h3]I hope you are going to really enjoy Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair. See you on Thursday! 💡[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]BULBWARE's SOCIAL MEDIA ARE HERE [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]

[h2]Hey there! 🙌[/h2][p][/p][h3]It's so good to see you all here! Today I'm going to tell you a story about the boy who lived...? Nope! About the boy who became the light - so to speak. This is the story of the first Bulb Boy game. Enjoy!💡[/h3][p][/p][h3]🟨 The spark that started it all (2014) 🟨[/h3][p][/p][p]The idea to create a game about a boy with a light bulb instead of a head was born in 2014. At the time, Szymon was preparing various sketches in the style of a classic adventure games. One of our mutual friends noticed one of these childlike drawings and commented: “He looks like his head is glowing.” That one sentence was enough to spark our imagination. That's how Bulb Boy was born – a hero whose light was to illuminate the dark corners of a bizarre, grotesque universe. [/p][p][/p][p]When creating Bulb Boy, we drew on memories from our childhood and youth. We were inspired by old adventure games such as Gobliins, as well as more contemporary titles such as The Neverhood and Machinarium. We still love games that allow players to immerse themselves in unusual worlds - worlds full of puzzles, quirky characters, and atmospheres that you can lose yourself in. That's the kind of experience we wanted to give others.[/p][p][/p][p](Bulb Boy concept / art)[/p][p][/p][h3]🟨 The bittersweet process of creation 🟨[/h3][p][/p][p]The production of Bulbware's first game was intense. On the one hand, there was the immense joy of creating our own project and the satisfaction of small successes. On the other hand, there were moments of doubt and problems. Our first Kickstarter campaign ended in failure, which could have stopped all work. However, something unexpected happened then - an investor who needs no introduction knocked on our door. PewDiePie saw the potential in the prototype and supported the project. This gave us wings.[/p][p][/p][p]It took us a little over a year to create Bulb Boy. During that time, we learned everything – from technicalities and puzzle design to coming up with dark and absurd characters. When the game was released, we received very positive reviews from the media and players. However, alongside the satisfaction, there was also disappointment – the sales results were far from what we had expected.[/p][p][/p][p]{Good old times, with 'Felix PewDiePie' Kjellberg)[/p][p][/p][h3]🟨 Nintendo coming to the rescue 🟨[/h3][p][/p][p]We didn't give up and worked on ports of the game at the same time. Each new version brought Bulb Boy to an ever-wider audience. The key moment was the release on Nintendo Switch. Our game was among the top 100 titles available in the eShop - 63rd, to be exact. This opened the door to a whole new group of players and allowed us to survive the most difficult moment in the studio's history.[/p][p][/p][p]A dream come true and a door to the world![/p][p][/p][p]The success of Bulb Boy was like a childhood dream come true for us. In an instant, we stopped being just people who “wanted to make games”, instead we became a real development studio with our own hero who won the hearts of fans. This time gave us the opportunity to travel the world, participate in trade shows and industry events, meet extraordinary people, and share our project with thousands of players![/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]That's how our adventure with game development began - from a spark in a sketchbook, through failures and unexpected support, to success that gave us the courage to dream even bigger. [/h3][p][/p][h3]In the next devlog, we'll talk about how the idea for Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair was born and why we believe this story deserves its own, even brighter spotlight 💛 [/h3][p][/p][h3]So all I can say now is... Take care and remember... May the light bulb be with you and guide you through the darkness! 💡[/h3][h3][/h3][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]
