    Environmental Station Alpha C++ port is out!

    Hi everyone! As I mentioned earlier this year, we have been working on a new version of the game with the intent of fixing various problems that have plagued the game for years now, including the game just straight up not functioning on Macs anymore. The list of changes/additions

    FLAC soundtrack added back

    As the title says, the full OST should now be available once more. Apologies for the trouble.

    ESA Soundtrack is working again

    The soundtrack for Environmental Station Alpha has been nonfunctional for some time now without me realizing. The reason for this was that the OST was implemented back before Steam had a dedicated soundtrack feature; during those days the way to add an OST on Steam was to release

    We're working on fixing the issues with the game

    ESA has currently some issues with crashing on Win11 platforms, and as announced previously, the MacOS version doesn't run at all. We're working on addressing these issues by porting the game to a new codebase which makes handling of these things easier and/or actually possible.

    MacOS support disabled for now

    The game has stopped working on newer versions of MacOS due to technical reasons that I can't fix right now. For that reason, I've disabled MacOS support for the time being. I'm intending for this to be temporary, but fixing the issue will require quite substantial work and I'm n

    Green block bug fixed + other stuff

    The green switch block bug should now be gone. Alongside that I managed to figure out a semi-fix for the yellow teleporter alt+tab issue, as well as fix some small issues related to the game timer. So yeah. I had known about the switch bug for some time, but had assumed it to be

    Noita coming to Early Access on September 24th!

    Noita, a game I've been working on in the Nolla Games team, will be coming to Steam Early Access on September 24th and has a new trailer! Check out the trailer here: Noita's Steam page (if you're interested, do give it a wishlist): The game is an action roguelite with the twist o

    Small tweak

    - Fixed the previously implemented system to make entering one-tile-high passages take all wall types into account to remove inconsistencies.

    Small update

    - Fixed the new option in the settings menu overlapping other options - Fixed a bug in the new feature for entering tight passages more easily - Made Serpent 5 turn slower in the first phase

    Update, at last!

    Phew! I've been really busy with business and Baba Is You, but took some time today to implement some much-needed updates: - Made it easier to get into one-tile-high passages - Added the ability to turn the water/fire wavey effect on/off to the settings (the "Shaders on/off" opti

    Pre-bugfix update

    Some players have had an issue where the game doesn't render areas correctly when in an underwater/high-temperature area. I'm planning to release a larger bugfix patch later on, but right now don't have the resources to do so, so as a placeholder fix the special rendering effects

    Optimization patch

    Environmental Station Alpha has got an update with optimizations to the gameplay itself. There was some old code that was unnecessarily memory-heavy, and replacing that resulted in the FPS increasing to about 3 times what it used to be. The FPS is still locked, but on computers t

    Small update

    Another small update! Previously, if you set the sound volume too low, some sounds might not play at all; this has now been fixed.

    Big Update!

    Environmental Station Alpha has updated! The big new thing is that the level-loading code is much more optimized now, leading to faster loading times especially on older computers! The new version also removes some rng elements, and you can now skip the credits sequence if you've

    Update!

    So, Environmental Station Alpha was just updated! The update doesn't add much, mostly fixing some tiny, tiny bugs. However, there's some underlying stuff that has changed and that'll help future patches a lot. That is, I've replaced certain code that wasn't working anymore and th
