- Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair [DEVLOG #3] - The Horror continues! - 21 October 2025
Hey, hello! 👁️ Huh, this is actually the last devlog before the release on Thursday... Oh boy, the time flies! Well then... Let me tell you a little bit about how Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair was made! 🟨 It's time to... Breathe 🟨The idea for the second part of Bulb Boy didn't come immediately after finishing work on the first one. We needed a break - some distance, some time to miss our light bulb world again. After the release of Poopdie and its second episode, we focused on experimenting with new prototypes, ideas, and directions. It was a period of searching. We surely wanted to feel that the next project would be something special, not just a sequel for the sake of a sequel.🟨 An ordinary situation but an extrordinary story 🟨At one point, the question arose: what if our next game is Bulb Boy 2? That sentence opened up a flood of ideas. From the very beginning, we knew that if we w…
- Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair [DEVLOG #2] - Bulb Boy’s story - 4 October 2025
Hey there! 🙌It's so good to see you all here! Today I'm going to tell you a story about the boy who lived...? Nope! About the boy who became the light - so to speak. This is the story of the first Bulb Boy game. Enjoy!💡🟨 The spark that started it all (2014) 🟨The idea to create a game about a boy with a light bulb instead of a head was born in 2014. At the time, Szymon was preparing various sketches in the style of a classic adventure games. One of our mutual friends noticed one of these childlike drawings and commented: “He looks like his head is glowing.” That one sentence was enough to spark our imagination. That's how Bulb Boy was born – a hero whose light was to illuminate the dark corners of a bizarre, grotesque universe. When creating Bulb Boy, we drew on memories from our childhood and youth. We were inspired by old adventure games such as Gobliins, as well as more contempora…

- Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair [DEVLOG #1] - The First Light - 23 September 2025
Hey! 🙌This is Artur Mikołajczyk, the man behind the Bulb Boy games! Because the release of Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair is approaching fast, I'm here today to tell you about the beginnings of Bulbware and how it all started. Enjoy reading! 💡🟨 The beginnings of our dreams 🟨Let's go back to our school days, when the Internet was still mainly connected via noisy modems, and dreams of having your own video game were something almost magical for teenagers. It was then, in 2001, that I met Szymon Łukasik through a mutual friend. We quickly discovered that we shared the same passion: we wanted to create our own point & click adventure game. Full of enthusiasm, we started working on our first project, but unfortunately, our lack of experience and knowledge meant that our ambitious idea ended up only in notes, sketches, and a simple prototype. Life went on, and for a while, we each went our se…

- Bulb Boy discounted, Bad Cheese out now & bundle... Fresh news! - 1 September 2025
Hey there, Bulb Boy fans! 💡Today we got bunch of fresh news for you so... Without further ado, let's get right to it! 📰Starting today, from September 1️⃣st til 1️⃣5️⃣th (so for two weeks) Bulb Boy 1 will be discounted -84%!What's the occasion, you may ask? This has something to do with few things. Firstly, Bad Cheese - a psychological horror inspired by 1920s animation and made by Simon Lukasik - co creator of Bulb Boy - is out now! So we decided to celebrate together, resulting in the ‘Boys in distress’ bundle. The rule is simple — if you already have Bulb Boy in your library, you'll get an additional 10% discount on Bad Cheese in the bundle, on top of the launch discount! 🎮 Secondly, this solid and quite long price reduction for Bulb Boy is linked to the fact that...
