- Prepare for Boarding - 13 December 2019
Hello everyone! It's my pleasure to announce that The Station VR is now published and ready for your pleasure.. We had the pleasure of working with Virtro Entertainment to bring the virtual reality version to life and we're so proud of this collaboration. As most of you know, building a game in virtual reality is a massive undertaking and requires a complete overhaul of the project. Many of the sequences, assets and scripts had to be redone and this is why it required a separate product. We're so excited for you to experience the game in virtual reality! https://store.steampowered.com/app/877510/The_Station_VR/

- Upcoming Features & Patch Notes B1.53.1 - 13 March 2018
Hi everyone, last night we pushed a new patch live for a few bugs that were discovered. Upcoming Features - Localization. We're currently translating the game into Italian, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Portuguese. - Testing a "Free Explore" mode so players can explore the Espial without the puzzles or locked doors blocking them. Bug Fixes - Adjusted Occlusion code to hopefully prevent occlusion issues from occurring again. Very rare cases of occlusion were reported. - Magnet tool no longer disappears when it is brought out of maintenance - Fixed Kevin Elliott's name in the credits, and made the title screen credits match the end screen credits. There were some formatting changes that hadn't been applied to the title credits last time. - Fixed bug where switching to left handed controls while using mouse locked player camera rotation. - Tweaked the floating object code to be a pi…

- The Station is a first-person alien mystery with an intriguing premise - 21 February 2018
How would you react to the discovery of an advanced but violent alien civilisation in the midst of a civil war? That’s the question that opens the pitch for sci-fi explore-o-puzzler The Station , and it’s intriguing enough for me to want to check out the game based on that alone. You play as a recon specialist sent to investigate a supposedly undetectable surveillance station that’s cut off communication, where you’ll uncover what went down via the crew’s AR logs. It’s out now. So, Tacoma with a focus on a inter-species ethics and questions about surveillance and the limits of moral authority? Yep, I’m on board. (more…)
- The Station is a first-person sci-fi mystery set in an alien civil war - 20 February 2018
What would we do if we discovered intelligent beings in our universe? Sci-fi mystery adventure The Station asks this age-old question and follows it up with another: What would we do if those beings were also embroiled in civil war? In this case, humanity decides to send a small crew of three to observe the aliens from a safe distance on a stealth space station called the Espial. Things inevitably go sideways and we, the player, are sent in to recon the situation and locate the missing crew. The Station immediately reminds me of Tacoma . It's fundamentally about exploring the Espial, repairing its damaged systems, and scouring for records and audio logs to determine what happened to the crew. There's also a neat augmented reality interface which embeds clues in the environment and records them as you progress. You can learn more about the Espial and this interface on this nift…

- Dev Update. Jan 5th 2018 - 5 January 2018
Hi everyone! Let me start off by saying that we wanted to keep everyone up to date with our progress, but we entered the dreaded crunch period of game development which is all consuming of time and sanity. Due to factors beyond our control we needed to delay launch but this meant we could get our game exactly where we wanted it, polished and into your hands! After delaying PC release in July, we re-assessed the current state of the game and are now confident for a full Desktop (PC, Mac, Linux) and console release early 2018. Our team has grown and bonded so well over these past months and we are all very proud of our efforts to finally let our first flagship game out in to the world. We’re looking forward to announcing our release date very soon. Again we are truly sorry, we wanted to deliver regular updates and now we are set to deliver a constant flow of development notes and media ri…
