Last time we gave you an update from the studio was by the end of summer last year, at least if you're not counting our studio tour. Fall came and passed, and winter has now reached us here in the south of Sweden (sadly not until AFTER Christmas...).
If you've been following our dev blogs you already know that a lot more has happened here at the studio than just the turning of the seasons. But, before we can kick off the new year we feel that a small retrospect of the past year is in order. First of all, we're very proud to say that we feel that we kept our New Year's resolution of last year: to provide more frequent and detailed updates on ATMOSFAR. That we sure did!
2025 was a very eventful year for us. Production-wise, things really took off as we expanded the lab with more colleagues. Everyone has been, and still is, doing their absolutely best to make ATMOSFAR happen. Tasks and deadlines are flying by the office so quickly that you'd sometimes need a seatbelt on! We're incredibly impressed and proud of everyone's efforts, and we can't help but feel grateful that all of these awesome people chose Apog Labs. Thank you! If you wish to check out their incredible development, check out our dev blogs and vlogs!
And yes, that's right, we started doing vlogs as well! We were so anxious that we wouldn't keep our New Year's resolution that we decided to go all-in and do vlogs as well, just in case. Just kidding! But we have indeed started doing a vlog version of all our dev blogs, in order to be able to show off even more content and to accommodate the people who prefer videos to text. A new thing of last year was also our ATMOSFAR Discord server. We've now gotten a cozy lite corner of the Internet to hype our upcoming title. Our community has also helped development a lot by coming up with interesting names for places, plants and animals of the world. Thank you all! ATMOSFAR also got to travel the world, from Germany (Gamescom), to the United States (PAX West) and to Japan (Tokyo Game Show). Quite a world tour indeed!
A lot of big steps were taken last year, but the biggest was probably that we went from officially writing Atmosfar in lower case to the capitalized ATMOSFAR. What a change!!! And to let you digest that, we'll now wrap up the (very condensed) retrospective of 2025.
We all know the expression "as a door closes, a new one opens". Which is true in this scenario. Except that it's not only a door opening, it is a whole gate!
2026 has now started and we are already busy here at the lab. We can't let you in on all the fun just yet, but let us tell you that we have a LOT of fun things planned for you this year! Most of them have to stay a secret for now, but our biggest mark of this year will be the EA release of ATMOSFAR!!! While we can't give you a release estimate juuust yet, we advice you to keep your eyes peeled... 👀
Well, that was it for this time, folks. We're very glad that you are all here. Catch you in the skies of Tycos!
