Redirection 1.1.0

Redirection 1.1.0 is now live on Steam! This update is focussed mostly on the Robot Arcade and features for Modders. Here's the full list of changes:

New features


  • Added a new Robot Arcade game: "Quest". Unlock Quest by completing the main campaign.
  • Locked Robot Arcade games are now displayed with a padlock icon on the game selection screen.
  • The button prompts for the built-in Robot Arcade games are now more helpful.
  • Running Redirection with "-demo" on the command line now launches the game in a streamlined demonstration mode. This feature is used to exhibit Redirection at live events!
  • Shortened the final cutscene of the main campaign.
  • Added a message when completing a level with fewer than the allowed number of obstacles.
  • Added one new achievement.
  • Made some changes to support modders creating custom tiles:
    • All tile types now support "alt" and "editor" models.
    • Robot animation and sound maps now include additional entries for more control.
    • The "animated" tile type now supports separate models, animations and particle effects when the tile is powered.
  • Minor text fixes.

Robot Arcade improvements


  • Added a keyboard and a 2MB hard drive to the Robot's device list. This allows arcade games to accept keyboard input and to store save data. Because of the new keyboard device, the keyboard shortcut to reboot the Robot is now Ctrl+R.
  • All functions in the io API can now be used to communicate with the user.
  • The speaker device now plays audio at a higher sample rate. Also added support for sawtooth waveforms and a duty parameter for square waves.
  • All error messages emitted by Lua APIs now have correct file names and line numbers.
  • Renamed gpu.setColorMapping() to gpu.mapColor(). Removed some unused and undocumented functions to simplify the APIs.
  • Changed the amount of memory available to the Robot to 512KB.

Bug fixes


  • Fixed Z-fighting during cutscenes on some GPUs.
  • Fixed website links not working on Linux due to Steam's Linux sandbox. The links now open in Steam's built-in web browser instead.
  • Fixed a few Robot Arcade methods which could crash the game if called incorrectly.
Have fun! I look forward to seeing all your new Redirection levels and Robot Arcade games on the Steam Workshop!

  • “Captain's Log: All of our Robots are missing! An unknown force has scattered them across the sector! Without them, we are adrift. Their only hope of rescue lies with S.A.M, our ship's computer. But I have so many questions: Who is responsible for this? What do they want with our Robots? And will S.A.M’s advanced puzzle-solving intelligence be enough to save us?”
    - Captain Elisha Baley of the Starship Redirection, 2168

    Redirection is a challenging 3D puzzle game set on the fringes of explored Space. As the Computer of an Interstellar Starship, only you can rescue it’s missing Robot crew from the perils of an unexplored asteroid belt. Across 48 hazard-filled levels, you must use the ship's teleporter to influence the paths of stranded Robots, and "redirect" them back to safety. As you progress through the game, you’ll discover new twists and mechanics, and reveal an intriguing space mystery story told in a classic science fiction style.

    Key Features

    • Play through 48 puzzling levels, filled with unique challenges and evolving mechanics.
    • Unravel the mystery of the Starship Redirection, and discover the origins of a mysterious signal.
    • Extend your game by downloading extra levels from the Steam Workshop, or create your own using the built-in Mod Editor.
