It's so hard to believe, but yes, it's true - today marks the 10th anniversary of Bulb Boy 1's release on Steam! We are dso happy that we've been able to launch Jar of Despair so close to this date, after all, there is no better way to celebrate such an event than by playing the sequel :D [/p][p][/p][p]To be completely honest, we wanted to offer a decent discount on BB1 or even... let you get it for free for 24 hours, but unfortunately, we couldn't arrange that with Steam (Dead silence...? Hello, Steam Support?!), and setting discounts is currently on hold due to earlier regional price adjustments 🥹[/p][p][/p][p]But fear not! We have a few ideas up our sleeves to make these circumstances more pleasant for you... [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🟨 GIVEAWAYS! 🟨[/h3][p][/p][p]The premiere giveaway of Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair on gleam.io has come to an end!
Thank you all for participating! A few lucky winners will receive keys for BB2 from us, and we will contact you guys shortly! 🎁 [/p][p][/p][p]BUT...
[/p][p]Since Halloween is just around the corner, we decided to do it on Friday, October 31, thus launching a new, even bigger giveaway! You will be able to win not only keys to BB1 and BB2, but maybe also something special... Check out our social media on Friday 😎[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🟨 WHAT'S NEXT? 🟨[/h3][p][/p][p]Alright, but what's enxt with Jar of Despair, you gonna ask? Well, we have some things to do! First of all, the game is constantly being updated and fixed, so if you've encountered any bugs or problems, they have either already been fixed or will be soon 🪳[/p][p][/p][p]The second issue is various game polishing – you asked for specific scenes to be selectable in the game menu, and we also heard that it would be nice to have several language versions of this menu – after all, these are the only texts in the game. We will think about it! [/p][p][/p][p]We also plan to prepare the game for compatibility verification with Steam Deck! ✅[/p][p][/p][p]Oh, and one last thing...

Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair [DEVLOG #3] - The Horror continues!

[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]
