  Hey all, it's been a while! We've just put the game up for streamers on Lurkit, so we'll start do a few patches here and there. This one fixes the dreaded level1-10 One of the challenges of game dev is that you get too good at your own game and can lose perspective on how hard it is - this was one of those cases. Level 1-10 is still challenging, but now has more of a solid and fair feel. Hope you enjoy!

• Small patch - 7 March 2023

  -fixed level skip bug on level1-13 -fixed issue with menus not responding to cursor in story scenes. Now you can’t open the menu in story scenes. Problem solved

• Added level-skip option - 2 March 2023

  Many people have requested this feature, so here it is! You can now freely skip levels via the menu - so what are the ins and outs? • you'll still need to collect enough droplets to enter later worlds that require droplets to unlock. This means you can't just skip your way through the whole game • special levels can't be skipped - eg boss fights and special puzzle levels • if you skip a level you never have to return to complete it - unless you want to search for droplets or try for a gold rank. But if you want to, you can return to complete it once the world has been completed

• Dev Plays – Lead developer Al Thumm walks through the first 2 worlds, all golds - 22 February 2023

  Hey folks, Check out our first Dev Plays video where we do a playthrough of all Qualifier and Varidia levels, getting all golds in each level. No droplets collected so as not to spoil any secrets!

• Joon Shining Has Launched, Plus OST is Now Available - 18 February 2023

  Joon Shining has launched! For those of you following the game's development, this means we're now out of Early Access and have released an official version 1.0 Soundtrack has also just launched! The game's amazing soundtrack by composer Angus Barnacle is also now available on Steam Get the Soundtrack here Or you can get the Game + Soundtrack Bundle Here Happy gaming! We hope you love the game as much as we've loved creating it, and remember to brace yourself for a challenge!

• Small bug fixes and UI additions - 8 February 2023

  • Fixed "restart level" button in menu (it was previously not unpausing the game) • added "exit game" from title screen • fixed menu-pausing when picking up a slow-motion gem, so those two things don't interfere with each other • fixed tutorial level 2 and 3 so slow-motion in those levels doesn't interfere with game pausing when opening menu

• Added proper game pausing. Added proper end-game! - 25 January 2023

  • the game now officially has an ending! While the bosses were previously in the game, there's a bit more clarity about how the two different paths to completion work, and there's a narrative conclusion to it all • added proper pausing when you open the in-game menu, so you can now completely pause gameplay

• Change to gold-ranks in easy mode - 19 January 2023

  Gold ranks are now only achievable when easy mode is off This was a tricky decision, but we landed on this because ultimately, Joon Shining’s sweet spot is as a challenging game, and the gold ranks, especially in later levels, are carefully formulated puzzles which didn’t translate to easy mode (because par is more generous in easy mode, so there’s no need to puzzle out an optimal route to get gold, and so one of the most rewarding and challenging aspects of the game would have been lost). We hope this encourages you take the time to transition from easy mode to not-easy-mode, and to master the game’s high skill ceiling and shoot for golds in all the levels! A super-challenging but richly rewarding journey!

• Release Date Announcement - 17 January 2023

  Officially announcing Joon Shining's release date of February 17! Check out our new release date trailer here Release Trailer What started as a tiny experiment in creating a minimum loveable product game has turned into an epic two year development journey, culminating in a game, atmosphere and experience that has far exceeded our expectations! Joon Shining first launched on Early Access back in March, 2021. Since then, we’ve been hard at work improving it with frequent gameplay, visual, musical and story updates to truly organically evolve the game far beyond the seed it started from. The positive feedback and stories we've seen and heard from players and press so far has meant the world to us, and we'd love you to be part of that experience as we bring it out of early access and launch the full game on February 17

• The Boss Is In ! - 22 December 2022

  The final boss is in! For the first time ever you can (technically) complete the game! Ok cards on the table it's a bit rough, but it's all coming together quickly so we'll have more updates soon! Other than that, lots of tweaks throughout, massaging the new environments in and more adjusting of all the gold-rank difficulties.
