Umbra: Journey Home

Umbra: Journey Home is out now!

Hello everyone, Thomas here.

Launch!!!

Umbra: Journey Home is now officially out! You can purchase it on either steam or itch. This contains the full story (roughly 2-3 hours) plus bonus puzzles, hidden areas and other secrets to find.

Updates

Should there be any issues/bugs that I did not pick up please let me know so I can fix them as soon as possible. I do have some ideas for other bonus puzzles that could be added post launch, though don’t hold me to that.

Look back

It’s been almost 5 years and WOW I did not think it would take this long. This is my first game so I have learnt a lot. The challenges, the does and don'ts, I’ve crossed the valley of death and come out the other side. Am I happy with how it is? No, there are probably things I could improve and add upon forever. Am I proud of it? Yes, I’m proud of Umbra as an achievement, something I was able to accomplish by myself.

Future?

What’s next? I still would like to make my own games, given where I am at in my life though I won’t be able to spend as much time on it as I would like. It’s unfortunate but it is the nature of things. Making my own games will become much more of a hobby.

Final thought

Thank you to Zita for doing an amazing job of creating the music. Thank you to everyone who has helped; family, friends, people who played early versions, people who commented, wishlisters/followers and of course you the player.

I hope you enjoy Umbra.

Till next time,
Thomas

Stream 2 Electric Streamaloo

Couldn't decide on whether I wanted second gig or streamaloo so I went with both.

1st stream went okay. Excluding the part where I fudged the start.

Second time should go much better.

Want to chat, come on in.

Then afterwards I'll be sure to get a good nights sleep.

Trying to find an appropriate time with my time zone is a challenge 😅

Umbra: Journey Home NextFest Livestream

As part of Steam's NextFest I'll be playing Umbra.

I get a lot of questions like:

  • What was your inspiration?
  • How long did it take to make?
    and
  • How does babby form?

Well if you wanted to ask the first two questions or have others then now's your time.

I'll be livestreaming the demo, talking to chat and giving insights into the creation.

If you're interested or just want to swing by and say hello.

Thanks

-Thomas
