• Vote For The Pedestrian! - 25 November 2020

  Wow! It's almost been a year since we first release The Pedestrian. A lot of people have said 2020 has been one of the worst years ever. But to be honest, for us, 2020 has been one of the best years of our lives! For 6 years we put everything on hold. Working out of a scrappy little garage with hardly any money to our names, we sacrificed a lot to get this game done. We put our heart and soul into making it the best it could be. Looking back at the huge mountain we had to climb still gives me anxiety. But now we have a game that is highly rated and gives us the financial freedom to move forward with new projects. It's turned out better than we had hoped and we are so grateful for the support we've received from all of you! It may sound cliche, but dreams DO come true! If my 12 year old self could see me now :). The Pedestrian means so much to us. It defines a very transformative chapter…

• Devs Play The Pedestrian - 25 June 2020

• macOS Catalina - 25 February 2020

  Hey Everyone! We mentioned in our previous patch that we were having some trouble getting our build through the Apple approval process (ONLY affects Catalina users). We've been working on it since that update and unfortunately we were not able to get it approved. Why? Long story short, when we put out our initial release build on 1/28 it was officially approved by Apple's system. Shortly after our release, Apple updated their approval requirements and various components from the game engine and plugins no longer met them. So what does this mean? If you're running the game on macOS Catalina. You might get a message pop up saying the game can't run. If that happens, you can navigate to the System Preferences>Security and Privacy and allow the app to run. If you have any trouble and need help, don't hesitate to email [email protected].

• The Pedestrian Soundtrack - 11 February 2020

  If you've played The Pedestrian, you know what an amazing job Logan Hayes did on the soundtrack! We've been working with him for years to craft a very cohesive and compelling listening experience. Logan has knocked it out of the park! If you're looking for some easy listening tunes or need something to study to, The Pedestrian soundtrack is the perfect thing. The soundtrack is being featured in Steam's soundtrack sale which goes from the 11th-14th.

• Linux Patch 02/08/20 - 8 February 2020

  Hey everyone! If you're running the game on Linux with a language that uses commas instead of periods in your number system(Polish, German, French). This latest build fixes a bug at the end of the game that would cause various sign doors to load incorrectly. Thanks! Have a wonderful weekend :)

• Patch 02/06/20 - 6 February 2020

  Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for playing The Pedestrian. We've been busy this past week fixing some bugs and making some improvements. There is still more that needs done, but one step at a time.

• The Pedestrian strolls out - 30 January 2020

  The opening of puzzle-platformer The Pedestrian plays like a Disney short. It’s got that same sense of polished wonder, in a world like ours but the rules are a bit different. You start as a smudge on a whiteboard, then venture rightwards into a world of rearrangeable street signs. You’re the man from the toilet sign. The bloke struggling with the umbrella . You’re Helvetica man (or woman), puzzling your way through the big city by connecting doors, collecting keys, and twiddling with power switches. The Pedestrian popped out last night, and it oozes promise. (more…)

• The Pedestrian is an imaginative and fun puzzle game about travelling through signs - out now - 29 January 2020

  You are The Pedestrian, the little person you see in various street and wall signs and you're on a mission. It's a clever idea for a game but is the gameplay worth it? I took a look to find out.

• The Pedestrian is now available! - 29 January 2020

• Christmas Update - 21 December 2019

  Hey everyone! For this month’s update we wanted to do something a little different. Because we’re nearing the end of development, it’s the perfect time to look back on where we came from. So we created a video of us reacting to some of our old builds! We have demos from 2015, 2016, 2017, and one from much earlier! So we’d love it if you gave the video a watch, as our Christmas present to you. Thank you all for your continued support as we push towards the January 29th release! Merry Christmas!

• Official October Update - 21 October 2019

  Hey guys! Welcome to the October monthly update! During the time of spooky season and turning leaves, The Pedestrian is nearing completion. We had an internal goal to release the game around the 20th of October. But a couple weeks back we decided we’d rather not rush the marketing portion of the release. Also, as we’re getting close to the holiday season, we wanted to avoid any of the unknowns that come with a release during sales and holidays. So we switched our 20th of October goal to be more of a “Game is complete” deadline. While pushing our actual release date out. So without further ado, The Pedestrian is scheduled to be released in mid January. We’ll have an official teaser trailer before the end of the month for the masses. We just wanted to give you all the inside scoop. Ok, now that the major announcement is out of the way we’ll move on to our normal monthly update! Twitter -…
