First of all, we'd like to thank you all for your continuous support! We really appreciate every bit of it! The first reason for postponing the release is quite typical for gamedev.

Hey, guys! We finally smashed the bug that caused some of you not to get the Loremaster achievement even when you found every single note and phonodiary in the game. It can only happen in pretty rare circumstances, so that's why most people who found all notes got the achievement, and why we were unable to find the culprit for so long. It's a Steam-only fix, so there is no patch. To unlock the…
Hey, guys! Patch time! A big one this time! We've been silent for a long time now because we've been hard at work on porting Vaporum to Xbox One, PS4, and Switch. As that work is mostly done, we were able to put our attention back to the desktop version again. Apart from smaller bugfixes that we found ourselves or that you guys reported to us, there is a whole host of optimizations and improvem…
Today, we bring you another piece from the world Vaporum takes place in. It's about how the Supreme Bureau strengthened its position five years after usurping power over the Great Island Union.
The world of Vaporum is not only comprised of the mysterious tower somewhere in the middle of an ocean. The Arx Vaporum (the Tower) is just one part of a larger world, and various bits and hints on this world lie hidden in the tower’s depths, in the form of readable notes and audio phonodiaries, waiting to be found by the players. In an unexplained way, we just received a scrap book filled with…
Hey, guys! Just a small patch for Linux only this time. Some controllers on Linux could crash the game, as reported here . This is a Unity bug, which we can't fix ourselves, but we created a workaround. If you happen to have such a controller, the game will not crash anymore, but if you wish to use the controller, you will have to change one setting by hand. The game should warn you about the i…
