A Big Update for A Light The Past and the end of GeoJam


Hello! As I'm writing this there's only 12 minutes until the GeoJam voting is over, and man what a ride!

I dare say that, at least when making the game, this has been my best work yet. Almost nothing major went wrong behind the curtains, I actually submitted hours before the deadline for the first time, and when submitting I felt I had made everything in time, I didn't feel I had to cut a major feature or was short on levels, which feels amazing!

Again, ignoring the actual quality of the game and whether or not it's actually good (I don't think it's that good), MAKING the game went smoothly, and I'm very proud.


Now, down to business:

The browser version of the game has been updated, featuring primarily small fixes and patches (hitbox placements, under-the-hood fixes, tried my best to fix the chrome-audio problems but couldn't fix it fully) as well as one new major feature:

The hint system

After finishing the game once, you'll unlock a ?
When clicked, this question mark will give you a hint depending on where you currently are and doing. Thus helping you find memories and collect them. They're fully optional to use, but if you want help completing the game 100%, this is your best bet!

(Unless I make a full-blown walkthrough in the future, lel)

The browser version of the game automatically has the hint system and patches, there's now a Windows download labeled "Version2" featuring the hints and patches, but the original Windows download will remain available for those curious on how the game started out.

We also now have a Mac Version of the game, also featuring the patch and hint system, available for download!

Finally, we now have a Swedish Translation of the game. Primarily made as a gift for someone but also for the few Swedes who play my games, enjoy!


Thank you very much for reading through this log!

Now... I'm so incredibly slow at typing so by the time I've finished writing this, the results have been revealed:
HOLYMOLY 3RD PLACE IN CREATIVITY AND MUSIC??? THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HAS PLAYED, RATED, AND OR COMMENTED, HOLYMOLY, THANKYOU. SHAR AND I ARE STUPID EXCITED

But seriously, sorry for the excitement, I just... Thank you. Thank you all.
