Let's talking about development

A beta release date is planned and is currently scheduled for Summer 2026. Following that, a first demo is also planned for September 2026. ːsteamthumbsupː

I want to be transparent about these dates

they have been pushed back.

The reason is simple

development has proven to be particularly demanding , especially on my side, as I am the solo developer of this game.

The goal remains to deliver a solid experience that stays true to the project’s vision, even if it takes more time. To reflect the current development status, I have also updated the screenshots on the Steam page.

We will resume work on new levels and overall development in January / February, taking some time to enjoy the end-of-year holidays and come back even more motivated.

A growing community

The community is growing every week! We recently reached 130 members on our Discord server, a community space mainly focused on the game, mutual support, playtesting, and sharing our passion.

If you want to follow the development of Higher: The Last Dream, chat with us, or take part in future test phases, feel free to join us!

Finally, a potential presentation at the Paris Games Week

We have big news to share: Higher: The Last Dream could potentially be showcased at Paris Games Week! ːsteamhappyː

However, taking part in an event of this scale comes with a significant cost, especially for an independent project. That’s why we decided to launch a fundraiser to help finance this trip and present the game in the best possible conditions.

Your support whether financial or simply by sharing the fundraiser means a lot to us.

If this adventure becomes reality, it will be thanks to you ! ːsteamthisː
