- Happy Spring Festival! Development Progress Update for Version 0.8 - 16 February 2026
As our traditional Spring Festival arrives, I would like to send my warmest New Year greetings to everyone! Wishing you good health, boundless energy, a great appetite, and success in everything you set your mind to in the year ahead!At the beginning of February, the renovation of my new home was finally completed! The original plan was to finish by the end of September, but the construction actually lasted a full 11 months (from early March to early February). The good news is that I can now fully dedicate myself to development again!For Version 0.8 of Glimmer in Mirror, nearly 40 maps in the “Frozen Lands” chapter have completed their level design, monsters, and Boss battles. To ensure a high-quality Boss fight experience, I spent more time polishing than originally planned—but I truly believe it was worth it.What remains unfinished includes scene composition (environment assembly) an…
- Notice of Delay for the Version 0.8 Major Update - 15 December 2025
Hello, dear players. I’m TT, the producer of Glimmer in Mirror.I’m very sorry to inform you that although we have been developing at full speed, the originally planned Version 0.8 update before the Winter Sale has not progressed as expected. The main reasons are as follows:First, the new aerial combat map introduced in the Frozen Lands, combined with the ground-level maps, required far more development and debugging time than we initially anticipated.Second, at present, almost all level content is being created by me alone. Unfortunately, the renovation work at my home did not conclude as planned and encountered serious issues, resulting in a passive delay of one month. Some of these problems remain unresolved even now, which has significantly reduced my available development time.Currently, the overall level structure and enemy designs for the Frozen Wastes have been completed. However…
- Emergency Patch for Unity Security Vulnerability - 4 October 2025
Hello everyone, this is TT.Earlier this morning, I received an email from Unity regarding a newly discovered security vulnerability (CVE-2025-59489) affecting the Unity Editor. This vulnerability impacts all builds created with Unity versions ranging from 2017 up to the latest release. Since Glimmer in Mirror was developed using Unity 2021, it is also within the affected range.To protect players’ devices and personal privacy, I’ve applied the official patching tool provided by Unity to the game, and this update contains the security fix.Because the tool is newly released by Unity and hasn’t undergone extensive testing, I can’t guarantee that it won’t affect the game’s stability. I’ve personally tested the game after applying the fix and haven’t encountered any issues so far.If you experience any problems after updating, please don’t hesitate to let me know here or through our Discord ch…

Next, I must sincerely apologize to everyone—version 0.8 of Glimme…
- Happy 2025! New Development Logs - 1 January 2025
Happy New Year, everyone! I'm TT, the developer of Glimmer in Mirror. It's been a few months since the last major update, and I've received your messages asking about the progress of the new update. Thank you so much for your support! I want to start by apologizing. In the second half of this year, due to some personal family matters, it has affected the development progress of version 0.8. Originally, we planned to release the major 0.8 update in 2024, but as of now, there’s still a lot that hasn't been completed. But don't worry, we haven't stopped! As my personal matters gradually settle down, development efficiency has picked up, and version 0.8 is steadily moving forward. I hope you'll continue to be patient with us (a deep bow, and another one). Here's a sneak peek for you—one of the new monsters from the Frozen Lands in version 0.8: In 0.8, we'll have ground combat like in the pr…

- Bug Fixes and Performance Optimization (v0.7.1.0040) - 23 March 2024
Performance Optimization: Some players have reported that version 0.7 of the game is slower compared to version 0.6. Since we are using a new version of Unity, the optimization process is indeed different from before. In response, we have made optimizations to the scene's performance. If you experienced lag before, we kindly ask you to try again after updating. Please let us know below this announcement if this optimization has been effective. Thank you for your support! In addition, this version includes the following optimizations: 1. Modified the AI of the Armored Rhinobeetle, so now the Light Impulse can break its shield and stun it. 2. Removed the shield of the Fire-Spewing Rhinobeetle, allowing players to defeat it from the front. 3. Adjusted the spawn density of enemies in the underground challenge of the Flower Sea Plains to avoid situations where a large number of Armored Rhino…

- Development progress for the next major update - 1 October 2023
It's been a while since we last announced the development plan for version 0.7. The final decision on the content to be included in the major update far exceeded our initial expectations. It's our traditional holiday these days, and we would like to share the current progress of the update's development with everyone. In our previous announcement, we mentioned the growth of the main character and the newly added 'Monster Echo' system. After numerous experiments, we have iterated on the Echo System, and its framework is now trending towards stability. Each type of monster will have an Echo Skill, which will enhance the existing skills of Shiro. Additionally, defeating monsters will drop materials that can be used to strengthen the attributes and levels of Echo Skills. Designing Echo Skills for each type of monster is a monumental task. In the 0.7 version, we plan to initially complete th…

Hello everyone! The annual Steam Spring Sale has begun, and Glimmer in Mirror is participating in this sale, bringing the same 10% discount as it's first release. Welcome to buy it during the sale! We have supported Steam Cloud, and have completely re-translated the localizations. Hope the new localization text will be better for you.

In addition, let us share some development progress on the major update (v0.7) of the game。 We are experimenting with iterations of the game's growth system, to try to improve the player's lack of a sense of reward during gameplay. At present, Shiro can only rely on collecting collectibles in the map, gaining new skills, and leveling up the sprites to improve their battle abilities. There is too little sense of growth and gain throughout…

- Plan for the next major update (v0.7) - 29 January 2023
Hello everyone! It has been almost three weeks since the launch of "Glimmer in Mirror". During this time we have received a lot of feedbacks. Base on these feedbacks, we are planning for the up the next optimization goals. At present, the game has relatively large deficiencies in the growth system, freedom of combat, maps and guidance. The next major update (v0.7) will focus the game iteration on these parts: Try to iterate the game's growth system and gameplay loop, and adjust the monsters' numerical and AI balance to make the game's combat and growth more interesting and rewarding. Optimize the readability and information of the world map, and allow players to mark the map. Integrate and optimize the teleportation points of each map to give players a more convenient way to teleport. Add mission interface to help players remember the current progress of the game and next targets. Suppo…
