Hello !

Time Rift has been out for one week now, and many of you have enjoyed it! Thanks to all of you, especially those who took the time to write a Steam review 🙂

We are making our first patch today and we continue to work on small improvements. Here are today's updates:
Time Rift is now translated into Italian! 🇮🇹
We've updated the images of the Steam achievements. Unintentionally, we had released the game having left some old versions. This is now fixed!

Hello!

We're so excited!! We can’t wait for your feedback and to see if you enjoy the game!
This is a special day for the team. Our indie baby has become an indie professional game. This is a real achievement for us!

We started the adventure in the middle of our studies. Encouraged by all the positive feedback we received from the jury during our 3rd year, we decided to continue improving the game in parallel to our classes. Our goal was to work freely together on something that would be ours, that we would love, and to propose a professional project for all those who were enjoying it. Highly motivated and ambitious, it was when we entered the Plaine Image incubator that we launched Lightshards. Time Rift was then selected during festivals and competitions and Abiding Bridge became our publisher. We also joined forces with IndieArk to handle publishing in China! Many people helped us work on it and put their heart into this project. Thanks to them, and to all of you who supported us along the way, we can proudly say to two students, ourselves from 7 years ago, that their dream has come true.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the development of Time Rift.
Thank you to those who have followed and encouraged us since the launch of the first demo. It’s amazing that you’re still here!
Thanks also to those who have discovered us in the meantime or who have just recently found us. Every bit of support is important and means a lot to us!
Thanks to everyone who believed in us and allowed us to reach this achievement.

Hello Time Rifters!

We have the final release date for the game! No rewind for us, the game will be released on February 17, 2022. We hope you'll be there and we can't wait to show you the fruits of our work.

Thank you for following us in this journey! If you want to continue to support our indie game, consider adding it to your wishlist and share it with your friends.

See you soon in the maze of time!

Hello time rifters!

It's been a while since we last gave you some news, but that's because we were waiting for the right moment to shower you with a lot of good news all at once!

The first and most important news, the one you were all waiting for, is that we are FINALLY getting close to the game's release! It will be in February 2022. We can't wait to show you the final version of this game, which has evolved a lot since we started working on it in 2015...

This final version will contain many minor changes compared to the old demos you could test in the past, and especially four major additions that truly flesh out the experience:

• Many new levels introducing mechanics you've never seen before in Time Rift!
  
• A whole story to discover and enjoy, thanks to Lorraine Ansell's superb voice-over
  
• More variety in the types of levels, while some levels are more oriented towards action and speed, others are more calm and focused on reflection.
  
• Accessibility options to help make the game as enjoyable as possible for everyone. The game is already a good mix between action and puzzle, but, this way, if you're less at ease with either one, you won't be penalized and you will still be able to move forward and discover the whole story.

For more information, you can watch our new trailer and check out the new game description on our Steam page. We gave it a little makeover~

Finally, we are happy to announce our partnership with IndieArk, who will translate and promote Time Rift in China!

See you soon!

Hey Time Rifters,

We've got some news for you! Time Rift will be participating to Steam Next Fest, meaning you'll get to play a brand new demo of Time Rift from June 16th to June 22nd!

If you've played last year's demo, you're in for quite the surprise narration-wise~

As part of the Festival, we'll also be hosting a livestream on June 18th 7pm CEST!

See you there!

Hello Timerifters!

I’m Simon, the creative director behind Time Rift!
We wanted to share with you a small message from the team here!

So, for those of you who have been following Time Rift since we launched it on Gamejolt, you might remember there were only 2 of us back then, since it was a student project at first.
Now, a few years later, the project has become way more ambitious!

We’re super lucky to have Abiding Bridge as our publisher.
They allow us to bring the game to you here on Steam but also on other platforms and events. It is the perfect company to work with to sell a first game even if we did not create any company ourselves and we are pretty new in the industry.
That is why they also help us with the administrative work to find a way to share the future financial income of the game. They also manage the communication and find partners to help us during this adventure.
Abiding bridge also help to raise the quality of the game with the input of playtests to ensure everything is fine with the levels, the game mechanics understanding, etc. Finally, their producer helps a lot with the team efficiency since we work together.

As you may have seen, Time Rift was featured in the Steam Game Fesitval! Thanks to this, a lot of players saw our page and tried our demo!
We even got a lot of new wishlists, as well as new members in our community.
It's weird to think that our small project we made at our school got noticed by so many people, and that they even liked it!
So, from all of us at Lightshards and Abiding Bridge, THANK YOU!

As I’m sure a lot of you will want to hear about the release date, we can’t announce it just yet. With Abiding bridge, we want the game to be up to our standards. This means that we still have long months of development ahead of us.

The first step will be to arrange all the levels we have already created and still work on the core of the game to reach the best quality. Thankfully, all the feedback we got during the festival will help a lot :)
We will also add all the settings to be sure it is easy to access and play for everyone.
The second thing to do will be to choose the community features we want to add like leaderboards or level editing and see if it is a good addition to the game.

Stay safe Time Rifters!
