We want to thank all of you who have been following our development for the past few years and who have supported us and cheered us on. We appreciate all of you so much. The Shadow Knights TeamHappy New Year!Jan 15, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHappy New Year Knights! Welcome to the totally awesome “The Lighthouse: Year in Review” update! We hope everyone had a great holiday! We have been very fortunate and it has been a truly humbling year for our studio. We wanted to take a look back and reflect on what we have achieved and discuss what we have planed for the future. Oh, and yes, let’s get this out of the way now- The Lighthouse will be coming out this year ! Before we kick things off, we also want to thank you all for your continued support during the development of The Lighthouse, we couldn’t be doing any of this without you Knights! We always talk about how kind everyone has been during our development and we think we have the greatest supporters. ----- 2018 Re-Cap ----- Conventions People played and actually liked The Lighthouse! 2018 had lots of eager players ACTUALLY enjoying the BETA! A triumph for any indie studio is to package a game and have it go out for people to play and provide valuable feedback. This is because after yapping on and on about “how we’re making a game,” and “trust us, we’re working on it,” people are actually playing it on their computers. It’s a threshold that we were happy to cross because it means things are really happening on the development side and the game is improving because people are playing it and telling us what works and what doesn’t. Then, shortly after, we demo’d that same BETA at GDC and things went even better! Like, way better than we could have expected! GDC We were lucky enough that most of the team was able to make it to GDC. We had lot's of family help. Richard flew all the way from Canada and Ari, Laylee, Daniah and Mimi took a long road trip to San Francisco. Not many of you know this, but this was also the first time a good chunk of the team had met in-person, because we're all working remotely. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/29864941/789fb2cb6957dd893f207e3d0ce787695ce1df1a.jpg We had our own booth in the GDC Play area. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/29864941/c0e39adbe9f611202e3c3622d24805662a7139b3.jpg We also were able to show off the game at the IGF Pavilion thanks to ID@Xbox. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/29864941/881085ae0fa505973360c0441fadfdecb27fdd1a.png - GDC gave us the opportunity to have hundreds of developers and students test out the first 30 minutes of the game. We received wonderful feedback and this helped us add additional accessibility features to the game that we think has improved it significantly. Dreamhack Austin We applied for a booth at Dreamhack Austin and we were very fortunate to be able to get a booth in the Indie Playground. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/29864941/70049868ba81f5c39b0bba5d81c5990a5bd58e75.png - We were also nominated for the Best Let's Play award and WE WON! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/29864941/a7057cba...One Year!Aug 14, 2018 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/29864941/c1f626aa78f96448f3956e8de323181b98598684.jpg One Year ago today The Lighthouse was successfully funded on Kickstarter!

The Lighthouse has it’s own booth in the North Hall and we will also be demoing the game at the ID@Xbox booth on the 21st between 2pm-4pm. We’ve also been getting some great feedback from our Beta Knights and have been implementing some great fixes/updates based on their feedback. This months update is very small because there has been so much preparation for our booth, but here it goes. :D Soundtracks are Here!! We received the physical soundtracks and Mimi has been personally signing each one. We hope to get these out to you soon. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/29864941/195044260f50c567a35932a5a20ccbee35855d48.jpg If you still want to purchase the soundtrack, you can do that HERE We only have a limited number of these left so get it while supplies last. Beta Testing Beta testing for the prologue has been going great and we’re so thankful for the Beta Knights for playing the prologue dozens of times to help us find every bug and for giving us great feedback to help make it a better experience. Based on the feedback, we have a solid grasp of things we need to update and feel that we can move on to Beta testing Act 01. We will be posting a sign up sheet for anyone who is interested in Beta testing and that’s in an early access Kickstarter or Indiegogo tier after we get back from GDC. For all of you Knights that are currently in the Beta test we will be dropping one last build for you this weekend. GDC The entire team will be at GDC this year!
