1.1.1 update is out!

Hello, dear fans of the game!
A new, unplanned patch (v1.1.1) was released today. We originally intended to release it later, but we found a critical bug in the game that wouldn't allow to pass level 6, room 5. This bug was fixed, along with a few other minor bugs. The full changelog is available below, as usual.
I also regret to inform you that the OS X engine issues are still present, so await further updates to fix those.
I also would like to inform you that we no longer work with the Desura game distribution system. If you would like to update to 1.1.1, you need to download the older 1.1 version from Desura, and then run the upgrade from the game itself. Besides that, support has ended for all betas that never got a final release, to be specific, on iOS and Windows Phone 8, as well as the Modern Windows 8 app.
Also don't forget that the Collection of Builds DLC is coming on March 18th. You can buy it for $0.99. You can also obtain this DLC on itch.io, along with the game OST. Thank you for playing Big Journey to Home! It's thanks to you that new updates and DLCs are still coming out. I am especially thankful to those who bought the Every Monday 101 Bundle!

Full changelog:
  • Fixed a bug related to killing some monsters with a fire sword
  • Fixed a bug with sensor buttons disappearing after Esc has been pressed
  • Fixed some graphical artifacts in level 1
  • Fixed the BJtH updater on OS X
  • Updated the news feed
Yours, Silver Sword.

Our game in the new bundle + new DLC announced!

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.

Our new game Spectrubes!

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!
