It's the end of 2024, and I finally went through to the resolution I gave myself this year: Finally finish one game.

Words can't explain how glad I am that everything went well and the majority of you love the game as it is. <3

I do have one more gift to give you all before the year ends, though, and it's a big one.

Part 1: My final gift for the year.

I teased a bit of this in a few servers, with the idea to release it for New Years Eve. Now the day finally came and I'm more than ecstatic to show it off! (So let's get right to it!)

I've updated YOURDOOM for 2025, mainly because I feel as if it was too weak for the game and the story it took part in.

I've also taken some time to test new drums and a new guitar, so please do tell me if they sound good enough for me to use again in the future! :)

Part 2: Progress updates in general.

I've had the team on vacation until the start of 2025 after v1.0 released, with the bugfixes I released being important exceptions.

That's not to say we haven't been working though, We've made a small amount of progress while we were on break.

Like for example: We've decided to let you merge certain modes to let you create new battles! You won't be able to merge alot, I think I intend to make 3 modes mergeable and that's it.

We also have one more thing to show:

LIMELIGHT: Rageful Cut may or may not be getting a total overhaul for 2025 as well! All I need is the clearance from the team to publish it :3

Part 3: Conclusion.

It's been one hell of a year, and I'm glad I get to end it well.

I'd like to give my special thanks to a good bunch of friends that helped bring this game to life and success.

1. Quin for showing off LIMELIGHT when it first released and letting it get as popular as it is now.

2. Sil Gaming for being the first to stream LIMELIGHT and show it off, and pointing out certain bugs I needed to fix for v1.02.

3. Jazzy Oliver for streaming LIMELIGHT and showing it to the entirety of the Object Show Community. I can't completely express how thankful I am that you did that... So I'll shove it all into another game! [See Part 4: Extras.]

4. ribimaka and Jade for sticking with me when the going got tough, and for being the voice of reason that I lack sometimes. I'm glad I get to call you my best friends.

5. francis.gif for making the first piece of LIMELIGHT fanart! (I've kept it as my laptop background ever since I first saw it. Thank you so so SO much francis I love it it's beautiful and lovely)

6. bluie for helping orchestrate the entire AU. I don't think LIMELIGHT would be what it is now without you.

7. Circuit for helping voice act the game. You've brought the game to life on a whole new level and I'm glad we can call each other friends.

8. rileyisanerd for being by our side for as long as this game existed. Without you and the Bot fanclub, I don't think this game would have as much of a positive impact on my life as it did now.

9. Sculler14 for letting me reuse his ideas for Asthma Mode, being cool, and leaving one of the most banger comments on the LIMELIGHT release post. May the LIMEDARK never reach you bro 🤞🙏

10. Ranalili for making the first LIMELIGHT cover and overall just being a cool gal. Stay loud and proud, dudette.

You've all made my dream come true, and I can't end this devlog without showing atleast a good chunk of the gratitude I have.

If you're not in this list, it's more than likely because I don't want the devlog to be a Harry Potter novel long LOL. But just know you're in my thoughts as well!

Part 4: Extras.

Remember how I said I'd shove all my gratitude into another game? Well...

I'm bringing Paintbrush's DISBELIEF back from the dead.

That's right, tracks you love such as: Fury of an Artist and ARTBLOCK will make a grand return for 2025!

I'm doing this because I feel as if I should give Jazzy a gift for letting LIMELIGHT become as popular in the OSC as it did.

You can find the new PAINTBRUSH'S DISBELIEF game page here: https://gamejolt.com/games/PaintbrushDisbelief_Reboot/960425

Well, that's about all! Thanks for sticking with us for 2024, I can't wait to show you what we have in store for 2025!

Team Hedge, 2024.
