Hello to our fellow hikers, dreamers, and stargazers. It seems almost impossible to believe, but we’ve reached the first anniversary of Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between!
Today's celebration is packed with exciting surprises for Glitchhikers fans. Firstly, we are thrilled to announce that a new patch for the game is now available, bringing several quality of life improvements that will enhance your gaming experience. See the full patch below!
In addition to this, we have also updated our website, glitchhikers.com, adding a Cool Zone section with details about every single hiker you can encounter in the game. There’s a little information about each, along with exactly where and how each hiker can be found in the game. If you’re trying to complete your own Cool Zone, or are interested in how exactly our content filters affect hiker appearances, this is the perfect resource for you.
But wait, there's more! We're also releasing a Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between “B-Side & Extras” EP with nine all-new songs and variations (because in the eyes of our Lead Composer, Devin Vibert, our 71-song Deluxe Soundtrack was feeling a little light).
For more of a Glitchhikers music fix, we have a special livestream over on Twitch tonight hosted by Claris Cyarron, our Creative Director and Glitchhikers Co-composer. The Glitchhikers Anniversary Synth Jam will be a chill, musical, hangout where we can reflect on the last year, and watch Claris play with her pet synths and Glitchhikers Videopak. To get in the mood, you can also check out her Glitchhikers Anniversary Playlist, or check out the never-before-released Glitchhikers Suite Live Performance by the UBC Orchestra from Games in Music last year.
To top it all off, we're thrilled to announce that this is the biggest sale in Glitchhikers history, with a whopping 35% off! It's the perfect time to dive into the game and immerse yourself in the world of Glitchhikers.
You can read more about this in our Anniversary blog post, which also features an interview between Double Jump and two of the founding Glitchhikers creators, Studio Director Lucas J.W. Johnson and Technical Director Audrey Storey.
