Station to Station is a minimalist & relaxing game about building railway connections. Grab your conductor’s hat and bring the voxel-art world to life through the magic of trains!”

During and after the internship I did at game studio Galaxy Grove I was contracted to create a multitude of user interface elements for the game Station to Station, as well as the 52 page artbook which has been loved by players and got great reviews on Steam.

Station to Station has a very textile user interface design, combining real life paper textures with inspiration drawing from old train tickets. The achievement icons were meant to play into this feeling, as if they were stamps collected along the way of your journey to fill up your collection. I illustrated and designed all 81 of them.

The game had a number of content updates, including new regions for players to explore and build their train dioramas inside of. One of the new updates also saw the introduction of a photo mode, in which players could fly unrestricted through the games’ environments to capture the views they wished.

There was also the edition of “creative mode”, allowing players to create their own levels. Each mode needed iconography to let the player interact with the tools they needed with a clear visual explanation of which tool does what.
