| Vote For The Pedestrian! | 2020-11-25 | 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 w |
| Devs Play The Pedestrian | 2020-06-25 | Hey Everyone, Since the game has been out for a little while now and our minds are refreshed, we are going to play through The Pedestrian and reminisce about it's development. This is the first episode in the series, so keep an eye out for the other videos. Hope you enjoy! |
| macOS Catalina | 2020-02-25 | 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 |
| Patch 2/25/20 | 2020-02-25 | Hey Everyone! Here's some more bug fixes and improvements. Most of these were done because you all gave feedback through the in game bug reporter. So thanks for using it and letting us know your thoughts :) Bug Fixes Fixed issue where you can skewering the player on a wall piece in the subway and innercity hubs Fixed issue where certain achievements could be triggered in the wrong area Fixed VSync and volume resetting to default after starting a new game in the options menu Fixed camera snap when in the elevator going to the finale Improvements Baked occlusion culling in the finale area to fix chalk lines popping in and out Updated "Falling" |
| The Pedestrian Soundtrack | 2020-02-11 | 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. Thanks so much for supporting an amazing musician! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1236790/The_Pedestrian_Soundtrack/ |
| Linux Patch 02/08/20 | 2020-02-08 | 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 | 2020-02-06 | 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.

| Christmas Update | 2019-12-21 | 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 | 2019-10-21 | 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 |
