Dear test subjects,

Your services are required in this new Portal Escape Chamber on September 7th. This chamber is approved by Valve and based on the Aperture Science Enrichment Center from the Portal games! We are of course incredibly thankful to the entire team at Valve for letting us create this new free DLC, which is truly a wish come true for all of us at Pine Studio!


In this free-to-play DLC for Escape Simulator, you and fellow subjects scientists (up to nine) were part of a minor workplace incident, causing the place to go into a state of complete lockdown. Now that you’re trapped in this laboratory, it’s up to you all to stay calm and escape.



Solve puzzles, repair the Personality Core, reunite with some familiar cube-shaped friends, and break the Aperture Laboratories’ safety protocols to gain your freedom. And to make your escape a little bit sweeter. we promise that there will be cake. No lie.

Greetings Major,

War Hospital has a distinctive design, which we've taken on board from the outset: the aim was to create art that would be recognizable from other war games. We wanted to find a mix between an epic and a fantastic historical look.



To give War Hospital its own personality, we based it on the historical facts of the First World War, but stylized them a little. For example, we modified the body morphology, uniforms, equipment and environment.

Don't hesitate to give us your feedback, follow us on Social Media and wishlist the game!

War Hospital will be released on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Thanks Major,

Add to your wishlist

Greetings Swordsmen!

We hope that you have been well. We’re back with Issue #3 of our Development Progress & Update series! In this update, we’ll be sharing three new things: upgraded inventory sorting options, intuitive NPC icons and dynamic item gathering animations.




First off, we've upgraded the backpack sorting features. We know that as adventurers, your inventory can get cluttered after many battles and explorations. Previously, items could only be sorted based on rarity. Now, we've introduced two additional sorting methods – by time and by price. Whether you want to prioritize your newest loot or the most valuable pieces, the choice is yours! This would provide you with greater versatility and convenience when organizing your inventory.


Next up, we've given NPCs a brand new look.



Quest Givers - Need a quest? Look out for the NPCs with a ‘scroll’ icon above their heads and get sent on petty errands or grand adventures.



Sparring Partners - If you are itching for a fighting match, simply look out for NPCs with a ‘saluting fist’ icon to find a sparring partner.



New Recruits - Looking to recruit new heroes to join your cause? Keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive ‘tiger talisman’ icon for potential martial artists ready to join you on your journey.

With these new icons, every opportunity to spar, recruit, and experience the multitude of side quests is now at your fingertips!




Last but not least, we’ve introduced new gathering animation to liven up the item-collection experience. This subtle touch is aimed to inject a little realism and fun into these moments.

This concludes Issue #3 of our Development Progress & Update series! We can't wait to reveal more exciting updates to you in the coming weeks. Here's to many more shared adventures, thrilling journeys, and memorable camaraderie in the incredible world of Wandering Sword!

Hey everyone!

Can you believe it?! Aquarium Odyssey is coming to Let's Build a Zoo on August 17th!

We're nearly set to have ourselves a kraken time, and we cannot wait for you to dive into the world of seafaring beasts and marine life!



Need a reminder of all of the things coming with Aquarium Odyssey? Well, they're as cool as a sea cucumber, and we've got it all rounded up for you here:

Your adventures on this unexplored Aquarium Island will be full of brand-new quests, moral choices and news articles. Build a successful Zoo in this springwater, squeaky fresh setting, and make meaningful choices to shape it!

With incredible sea discoveries, over 50 new fish and mammal species are now ready for you to adopt and showcase to your visitors! From Dolphins to Manta Rays, Whales and Starfish to Lobster and Eels, there are so many favourites available to take in, care for and splice with others! By adding sea animals to your zoo, you will have the ability to create more than 10 million animal variants in the sandbox mode - are you ready to make the world's first Chickale or Eeloose!?

Learn all about your new charges and build environments perfect for their needs, from dense aquatic landscapes to coral reefs bursting with colour, all the way to the barren sea floor aesthetics. Allow your guests to get up close and personal with all-glass panels.

Let your guests step into a brand new world with new themed shops, decorations, signs and pathways to bring this new breed of zoo to life! Take inspiration from your new critters and show off their wild environments throughout your zoo, from ship decks and mosaic floors, to giant corals and seaweed!

Don't forget, if you haven't already, you can grab the Dinosaur Island DLC too and have everything ready to go when Aquarium Odyssey launches on the 17th August!

The voyage to 16th century Japan begins today! Sengoku Dynasty launches into Early Access!

Big thanks to the participants of the performance test in June. You have helped us with your feedback and reports to further refine the game over the last four weeks. Thanks to you, we feel ready!

We are beginning Early Access today and will therefore spend the coming months improving the game and adding more content, continuously allowing it to grow and implementing ideas. Of course, we are also counting on you, our community, to assist with this.



Feel free to write to us here on Steam, or on our Discord (https://discord.gg/toplitz) and social media channels!

Are you ready?

We wish you lots of fun in old Japan!

PS: The roadmap for the coming weeks (and months) can be found here!



PPS: We're using our Public Stage for more in-depth testing as well!

对，我之前是说就3个cg来着。

但是这个泥巴地面太丑了！还是从第一个版本用到现在的，所以我还是忍不住重做了一版地面。

【但是重做地面也要重做地面碰撞，所以遇到什么npc掉出地面请告知我一下】

而且重做的时候发现地面竟然面数高达1万，也不知道我以前脑子里都在想啥。

现在回头对比下第一个版本的画面。。。。哎

Hi everyone !


The game finally launched yesterday. After seven years of work, it's a big relief! I hope you'll enjoy it.


Of course, no release is free of bugs. As a solo dev, catching them all was impossible, even with the help of playtesters, so some may still be there. I'm fully dedicated to fixing them, of course. I already pushed an update with some fixes today based on your feedback. I'll continue to do so in the coming weeks and months.


If you encounter a bug, you can email me at pipetteinc (at) gmail (dot) com


Try to describe the situation the best you can. Where you were, the action you were trying to do, when and how the game bugged. The more info I have, the easier it will be for me to find it and fix it.

Also, if a dialogue seems to bug during a playthrough, you can press the space bar to skip it instead of being stuck.

But if you do, telling me where it happened would be very appreciated, so I can fix the line!

You can also skip dialogues with the space bar if you're in a hurry ;)

Thank you for all of you who purchased the game already, and I hope you'll enjoy it!

In this update joining to the public room with code starting from zeroes was fixed.
