Development Update

Just swinging in here with an update for y’all.

Ripping the bandaid off; there continues to be no suitable investment opportunity available that would resurrect development of our beloved Jumplight Odyssey. Thus meaning development on JLO will remain on hold.

We’ve been scouting and talking with various investors for six months now, but as mentioned when we first found ourselves in this position, it is a tough time to raise funds for a videogame, and that remains the case - especially for a title on hiatus.

Whilst our studio (LoG) will be taking a much needed break for the next few months, we will naturally continue conversations with interested investors. Should the title not find suitable investment in the next 6 months, we will commence the process of bringing the game out of Early Access. Though this is unlikely to be the fully realised v1.0 release we had originally planned, we will try to find some way to tuck the game in with our limited, remaining resources.

In some brighter news, as a little gesture or our appreciation to you all, we will be releasing the Jumplight Odyssey Original Game Soundtrack on Steam in its entirety for free. We expect it to go live in the next week or so (we’re just waiting on Steam approval). The OST will also be available on Apple Music, Spotify, etc.

The OST’s composer, our long time friend and collaborator, Michael Allen, has gone to the effort of expanding the soundtrack and producing a phenomenal listening experience for you all. It really is something special, and I’m so glad we get to share with you all the phenomenal work Michael has done on this project.

To our new players over the past six months! Hi! Thanks for diving in and exploring the stars with us. A number of folks asked why we continue to sell the game, and the reason is simple; even with development on hold there is still a lot of game in JLO and we want people to be able to experience the blood, sweat and tears our team poured into this incredibly promising title. So you can imagine how incredibly heartwarming it’s been to see all of you come along after development has already been placed on hold and hear of the grand adventures you are all having!

Jumplight Odyssey will be on sale in the Steam Summer Sale this year, so if you have enjoyed what the game currently has to offer, feel free to give your friends a heads up. :)

Thanks, pals! Naturally, it’ll be a little quiet around here on our end, but we’ll be back when the OST drops and, of course, we’ll let y’all know if the funding situation ever changes.

<3 LoG
