There’s no denying that projects under development for long periods have a unique status, but it’s hard to find one that rivals Lunar Software’s ROUTINE. Originally announced in 2012, the team was mostly out of sight for years with only occasional updates. After resurfacing in 2022, there remained uncertainty about its release date. However, we now have some information to share on it.
In their latest Steam Community update, creators Aaron Foster, Jemma Hughes, and Pete Dissler admitted to a prolonged absence. They explained, “Developing ROUTINE has always been an extensive task for our team, leading us to prioritize completing the project over all else. We understand your curiosity about our progress, and we sincerely apologize if our focus caused any inconvenience or disappointment.
The team has affirmed that the ongoing development of the project remains active and vigorous, and they are nearing the final stages of the game. They’ve gained valuable insights from previous endeavors. One such lesson is not to set a release date unless they are certain they can meet it. Nevertheless, they express optimism about providing more updates on this matter shortly.
Despite having only three employees, Lunar Software has been fortunate to receive assistance and knowledge from extra contributors during the game’s development. We are truly grateful to have collaborated with numerous talented individuals throughout the years! DOOM composer Mick Gordon is one of those contributors, but despite working on the project for several years, he left in July 2024 due to scheduling conflicts.
While with our team, Mick generated numerous exceptional audio resources destined for use in the final version of the game, ROUTINE, and offered priceless guidance for its audio design. Now, these contributions will be handled by a fresh audio designer and their team. Over the years, Mick has been an indispensable friend and partner, standing by us through trials and tribulations. We are profoundly thankful for his contributions to ROUTINE and wish him continued success in future endeavors.
The game titled ROUTINE is being created for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It’s a first-person survival horror experience that takes place in an abandoned lunar base teeming with lethal robots. A key feature of the gameplay involves permadeath, meaning there are no second chances, and since healing options are non-existent, players must employ stealth to ensure their survival.
