What mysteries await you, 200,000 miles from Earth? Who is exploring Lunar Transfer Station Tacoma? And what happened here?

We’re SO EXCITED to get to finally announce what we’ve been working on! The game’s been in development since mid-May, though in July the game went through kind of a big change. Originally it was called Tacoma because the game was going to take place in Tacoma, Washington. It was shaping up to be much more along the lines of what we’d already done. But I was hiking with my wife Rachel on Wizard Island (yes, really) when I had kind of an epiphany that with our next game we needed to push further from territory we’d already explored– and that discussion led to our next game being set on Lunar Transfer Station Tacoma, situated at Lagrange Point 1 between the Earth and our moon.

The challenge with a second title is to give yourself new, big problems to solve. And for us, solving the problems of how story exploration gameplay works in microgravity, what kind of near-future timeline might lead to the existence of Tacoma Station, what this imagined place looks like, what the daily lives of its inhabitants might be like… it’s new and invigorating territory for us all to explore together as developers here at Fullbright. And we hope you’re just excited as we are to see how it all turns out!

We’re going to be pretty tight-lipped with details about the game’s setting, story, and features over the next few months, but keep an eye here for spoiler-free glimpses behind the curtain (perhaps this curtain) as we move into the next phase of development.

In the meantime, if you’d like to be alerted when we’ve got new stuff going on, sign up for our email newsletter at tacoma-game.com, and you can follow @TacomaGame on Twitter!

Thanks again for checking out our big announcement. We’re looking forward to having you along as we continue to build this thing. Oh and below, find a screenshot from the announcement trailer, suitable for wallpapering your desktop or device :-)
