Unity Engine Upgrade (This version fixes the recent Unity security vulnerability) Chapter Selection (In the options menu) Performance optimization (Nothing major, lots of little improvements) Lots of bug fixes. Too many to list! If for any reason you want to play the original release.

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 forwar

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!

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. Yo

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

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/

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 :)

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. Bug Fixes Fixed a bug where going into the options menu when you died caused player to be stuck and invisible Fixed a bug where props continued to function when in options menu Adjusted "Blue" colliders in the subway to avoid signs getting stuck Fixed animated objects sometimes playing multiple times or getting stuck in a loop Fixed transition to "Vein" level in innercity to avoid getting key s

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…)

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.
