Hello everyone! As we wrote a few weeks ago, Lightmatter is turning five years this month!🥳
Some of you might already know that the game actually began as a university project called 'See You On The Other Side' in 2013! The game looked very different back then with its hatching art style and main focus on jumping through shadows.
Our big dream was to release the game on Steam, so we decided to keep exploring lights & shadows as an active gameplay mechanic. Since this was our first big game project, we had to go through many trials and tribulations before the game could finally see the light of day in 2020!
As a special treatment to everyone in the Lightmatter community, today we are releasing a bundle with 9 never-before-released prototype builds — spanning from 2013 to 2018. Each of the prototypes tell the story of the many challenges we went through as an indie game studio. We were a completely new team, so we had to learn everything from scratch — including how to design puzzles, writing a sci-fi story, running a business, and pitching to investors and publishers.
So if you are curious to learn more about how the game was made, feel free to click on the link below to download Lightmatter Anniversary edition:

We hope you enjoy this little package of game development nostalgia as much as we did putting it together! <3

To Whom it May Concern,
Summer is upon us, and there’s no better time to experience the brilliance of Lightmatter.
In the spirit of “summer fun,” expected contributions to the employee quality of life services at Lightmatter Technologies have been reduced. For a limited time, you can explore even more of my scientific paradise for 35% less than before.
A small price to pay to ensure your survival, wouldn’t you agree?
-Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
If only you could handle the shadows as calmly as that cat. Ah well. I’m certain that you’ll be able to get through your tour despite your lack of catlike grace.
-Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
To whom it may concern,
You see that giant piece of metal moving back and forth? It's a top-grade mineral decontaminator.
I installed a fence around that decontaminator, twice. My employees keep tearing it down to bet money on how many times they can run back and forth before the decontaminator closes. One of them bragged to me about his record of six. I told him that I was impressed and fired him.
I hope you're not attempting to beat that record. Yes, you may get a meaningless achievement; however, I assure you that the risk of getting crushed to death far outweighs the reward.
-Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
One small warning to our tour guests: during your tour, you might stumble into our cat, Lux. If you experience skin rashes, headaches, or hair-loss keep in mind that you might be allergic to cats.
-Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
To Whom it May Concern,
Lightmatter is the single most important development in renewable energy that the world has ever seen. That is why my scientists and engineers work tirelessly to innovate. Today we launch Lightmatter 1.09, complete with Danish voice-over work, developer commentary, new achievement art, and more.
Doubters,
Renewable energy is the door and Lightmatter is the key to our future. Lightmatter’s debut is a testament to that; however, the journey does not end with a launch at Lightmatter Technologies. Instead, it marches forward with the blood and sweat of visionaries.
Today, my Scientists, Engineers, and one jovial soul I’ve allowed to be the Janitor at Tunnel Vision Games have launched Lightmatter 1.05, complete with bug fixes and improvements. This update will download automatically.
Those who have experienced the inexplicable beauty of the core understand the magnitude of its power. Begin your tour now to join their enlightened ranks!
-Virgil, CEO Lightmatter Technologies
