| Time for an Update! | 2023-10-24 | Hello, SimAirport Community! We're alive!! As we've talked about on our live streams, Discord, and on the forums -- we're dying to ship an update for SimAirport, we owe you an update. So, that's exactly what we're working on! We wanted to take some time today to let you know that we're alive, that we're working on a few patches, and provide some insight and a brief overview of what's in the pipeline, and what you can expect to see coming to SimAirport in the near future. We're Alive! First off, we're not dead (and no one is dying - as of writing this)! Stuff happened, much of it relatively unavoidable, which unfortunately resulted in this per |
| Summer 2022 - Performance Upgrades, Translations, and New Game! | 2022-06-30 | It's summer for us and it's really heating up (and probably starting to really get cold for those of you in the southern hemisphere) -- and with the heat on, it's time for an update to SimAirport! In this iteration we've taken an even deeper look into Performance and we have some solid gains for you on that front. We have also brought to SimAirport the same Localization system that we've been using for SimCasino, which will make adding & improving translations much simpler for the community. Finally, we'd like to take a short look at our newly-announced upcoming title and talk a bit about how it came to be! Before we get into the details, we |
| Our New Game! Escape: The Endless Dogwatch | 2022-06-26 | An Adventure Like No Other This autumn we'll be releasing a new point and click adventure game set on a creepy ship. January, 1928. The SS Carolina is lost deep in the ocean. There's a deadly chill outside. The captain is hiding something from you. By night 2 you're attacked and the crew is missing! It's a nightmare! You play as 2nd Officer Walton. Explore the ship, use items, find the crew, and try to survive! You must get back to land and not let the ship sink. Let Us Know What You Think! Check out our store page! Feel free to speculate in the forums what you would like or expect to see in the game, and if you have any interest in testing i |
| March Update - Performance, Input and the Steam Deck | 2022-03-03 | Celebrating the launch of the Steam Deck, we're happy to bring you today's patch containing improvements to Input handling (including full Controller support!), several performance improvements, and a bunch of general bug fixes, too! Input Rework To support all inputs of the Steam Deck and to have support for Controllers we've completely overhauled our input system. Previously we've done most of the input stuff ourselves (we're really the people who'd like to do everything by ourselves) but have now upgraded the whole system to use Rewired - a well-known and highly regarded input system for Unity. This rework allows us to not only support the |
| Dev Update: Steam Deck and Performance Improvements! | 2022-02-08 | To kick February off we'd like to talk about the upcoming SimAirport update - along the lines of a dev-log, so you know what we're currently working on & what you can expect from SimAirport in the near future! Steam Deck Valve will soon be launching the 'Steam Deck' and as the release of the hardware nears we've been working on making SimAirport compatible with the new handheld! Luckily SimAirport already runs on Linux, and we have confirmed that both native and Proton options are already able to run on the Steam Deck! Our initial testing on Steam Deck did reveal several issues and some quirks - from screen resolution to controller bindings & |
| December 2021 Update | 2021-12-31 | Just shy of 2022 we'd like to present you the December update for 2021 - while it took longer than expected on our end we're happy to release this load of fixes and improvements to you all. Patch Notes - Notable additions Remote Gate Improvements!Remote gates have gotten one highly requested feature as well as some general improvements and bug fixes (e.g. not loading a plane if part of the crew is already on the plane while the rest are still on a bus). Remote bus pickups now have three modes, Pickup & Dropoff, Pickup Only, Dropoff Only. By default the P&D mode will be selected which works the same as the previous implementation where the sam |
