Big Journey to Home News

Hello, dear fans of the game!

I have good news regarding Big Journey to Home! If you still haven't bought the game, or want to gift it to a friend, you can buy it with a discount price right now! You can get our game, and 6 other excellent games for $2 in the Every Monday Bundle 101 from IndieGala. You can buy the bundle here.

Apart from that, a new addition for the game is coming on the 18th of March. This isn't a traditional DLC, infact, it's fairly specific. It's named the Collection of Builds, and includes 14 different early builds of the game: demos, alphas, betas, and an early concept prototype. All of this comes with a nice launcher where you can see some information and screenshots of each build. Due to the specifics of early development, this DLC will only be available for Windows, and some of the earliest builds don't have support for the English language. This DLC will cost $1, and you can find more details on its Steam page.

Regarding the OS X engine bug that causes the game to crash in some places, it still hasn't been fixed by the engine developers. Unfortunately, I can't provide an approximate release date for 1.1.1.

Thank you for supporting the game! I hope that the game will still find its way to new players!

Yours, Silver Sword.

Hello, dear fans of Big Journey to Home!

Today, the Light Sword Team announces a new game, Spectrubes!

The genre remains the same, that is, it’s still a puzzle game. The idea is to move around cubes which follow different movement patterns, that is, when one cube moves up, another would move down. The game will be stylized as old games on computers such as the ZX Spectrum.

The game is now available in Steam Greenlight. Please vote!

A small trailer is available here.

You may find out more about the game and discuss it, as well as download the demo, on the game’s page.

By the way, Big Journey to Home is currently discounted by 33% in celebration of the Lunar New Year. Buy the game now!

Thank you for your support!

Hello, dear fans of the game!
The 1.1 update is out, and the game’s released on Android. On a related note, the Android version of the game is available in a few app stores, including IndieGameStand and Itch.io (which also sell the PC version of the game and Steam/Desura keys, for $4.99), SlideMe and Amazon App Store (for $2.99).
What happens next? The plan isn’t very bright, due to the game’s low popularity. The Steam community is very small, there are very few BJtH-Online accounts registered. Therefore, I have no interest to further continue developing the game, or any add-ons and patches for it. The plan for supporting the game is therefore as follows:

1. After the game engine is updated to resolve the current bugs present on OS X, an update (1.1.1) will be released. It will also fix several minor bugs that we have found after the game’s release.
   
2. If any players will submit bug reports, those bugs will be fixed and versions will be bumped in the 1.1.X branch.
   
3. If the game’s community will remain small as it is, no future updates will be made. However, in case of notable fan activity, the game may be updated further (including possible DLCs). In this case, we may also add support for Steam Workshop, better dialogue output and finalize the level editor component set.
   

To sum it up, whether or not the game will get future support depends on you. I’m happy to support a game which is actually played, and of course, many different discounts and special offers will follow soon. Stay in touch!
Either way, thanks to everyone! I’m glad that you’re still interested in the game despite everything.
P. S. We are going to announce a new project soon! Stay tuned!
Yours, Silver Sword.
