Hey folks !
I'm glad to announce that Pillars of Light released 1 year ago.
For the occasion, there is a massive discount on the game, let's celebrate.
Let's see what next year will bring ;)
Enjoy your day !

[ 2023-07-19 18:54:05 CET ] [ Original post ] Performance & foliage updateHi everyone,
I got a Steamdeck on my birthday so I made some performance optimisation in the game that should affect everyone. Especially on volcano level, forest level and shadow level. The target was to reach a constant 60 FPS on the deck : it's a success !
Here's the changelog
- Optimisation in volcano level, forest level and void level (mostly concerning lighting ; render calls optimisation & level loading / unloading)
- More foliage in forest level (it's cheap now to render that, so I cracked it up a bit !)
- Special settings applied if you play on a deck (mostly concerning shadows : they are so greedy !)
I hope you'll enjoy, if you find bugs or problems you can reach out to me via discussions !
Have a good weekend !

[ 2023-07-10 20:31:57 CET ] [ Original post ] Official Livesplit IntegrationHi there !
After watching some friends speedrunning Pillars of Light (Dahpril lately on TwitchTV, just to name him), I worked a bit on a better integration with the most common speedrunning tool : Livesplit.
Pillars of Light now has an official category in the settings and an autosplitter !
It will allow speedrunner to ignore loading times (because your loading speed should not make you better or worse than a fellow speedrunner !) but also automatically change the current step of your speedrun.
I know it's a niche feature ! But now has never been a better time to beat this 42 minutes run and get the achievement ! 42 minutes is easy, the competition is now sub-30, will you try to beat that ? :)
Have a good one !
PS :
Here's the "official" list of splits :
- Introduction
- House
- Temple
- Attack
- Jungle
- Transition
- Sewers
- Cinematic
- Volcano
- Desert
- Cinematic
- The void
- Cinematic
[ 2023-07-06 22:48:46 CET ] [ Original post ] Pillars of Light is released on Linux & SteamdeckPillars of Light have been released on Linux after some testing on my side. In addition, the game has been tested on a steamdeck running Windows (and it worked amazingly well) so let's hope it will be the same on a native Steamdeck (running Linux, you know). Tests have been run on Ubuntu with and without the help of Proton.
It should be now publicly available for Linux & Steamdeck users.
Please, feel free to reach out if you have any problems regarding Pillars of Light on these devices.
Have a good one !

[ 2022-09-30 16:12:09 CET ] [ Original post ] Release date announced & some newsHi everyone,
Thanks for all the wishlists and support for Pillars of Light, it means a lot.
I started working on Pillars of light 2 years ago and as a solo developer, releasing is the end of a rich journey. I hope my work will please you !
The launch will be on 29/09/22 at 5pm CET
The sell price will be 14.99.
It will have a launch discount of 15% for a few days. That means you will be able to get it at 12.75, youhou !
In the mean time I still have some work to do and some room for last minute improvements.
One of this task is translating the game to make it available to most.
The goal I have is to make the game available in english / french / german / spanish & italian. The store page in these languages should all be online soon. The game should be translated upon release in these languages.
I might be able to add some other languages but let's not be too greedy, they might come after release.
If you'd like to see the game in your language, feel free to ask :)
Have a great day
See you soon

Pillars of Light is a
first person puzzle game that will let you control the power of
light against shadows.
Carry on your legacy
You will help
Utu, the light god, to protect the world after your father's death.
Fight against shadows
To solve the puzzles, you will have to mix light colors, move crates around, ask for Utu to help you, jump and sprint to avoid monsters around. You will have to explore dark places and move carefully in area the shadows control.

Explore forgotten worlds
You'll have to visit many places from a lost temple to an old dungeon, each with its own atmosphere, puzzles and dedicated OST
