About The Station

The story behind The Station actually starts in 2006, when Tarsier Studios was founded in Karlshamn, Sweden. In 2008, Tarsier started working with Media Molecule with the very first LittleBigPlanet Game, mainly focusing on DLC costumes for Sackboy. The collaboration continued with LBP2, where Tarsier got to create most of the costumes for the games, owning the entire process from first concept to finished model.

 

In 2010, Tarsier opened a second office in Malmö and between 2011 – 2013 both of the offices worked with LBP-related development. In 2013, the CEO & Executive producer of Tarsier, Mattias Nygren, acquired the Karlshamn office and a new studio was founded – The Station (Station Interactive AB). Many of the employees remained at The Station, and the LBP collaboration continued. For LittleBigPlanet3, we worked with Sumo Digital & Sony Interactive Entertainment in creating both Retail costumes as well as many awesome DLC costume packs. We have also worked on Run Sackboy, Run, making both costumes and UI. The Station has continuously been involved with marketing and spin-off content for the LBP franchise, and has now produced over 500 costumes for Sackboy!

 

In 2018, we published our very own game; Sniper Extinction, an action game for mobile. You play as a part of an elite Tactical Support unit, putting your special skills to good use in different FPS mission types.

 

Since late 2020 we’re part of the great Thunderful Games, and have been involved in the latest releases of amazing games by Thunderful.

 

We’re a creative, joyous team that loves playing games; and producing them of course! <3

  • “I have been working at The Station for 9 years now and it has always been a delight! What I like best about The Station are my co-workers. They push me to be a better team leader and artist every day. Thanks to them, I am able to create things I'd never be able to create on my own.”

    Sofie – Art DirectorThe Station

  • “For me it was a huge step to quit my job that I really liked and move from Stockholm to a smaller, but growth oriented company in Karlshamn. I think that there is so much going on in the game industry right now and it is the right place to be. And I really think that The Station is doing an impact on the way we will look at games in the future.”

    Adam – ProducerThe Station

  • “I've been a part of the Station from the start 8 years ago, and it has been great to see how we have grown from a small company of 6-7 people to where we are today. A great mix of people from all over the world, still having our joint Friday breakfast together.”

    Andreas – Game DirectorThe Station

  • “One of my main goals in life is to have a job that doesn't really feel like a job; where you wake up in the morning and feel excited to go to work. Thanks to The Station, I can now check that goal off my list. Also, the Friday breakfast is amazing.”

    Sara – Operations ManagerThunderful

  • “We all have to start somewhere to learn and grow, and The Station provides an environment for that. There’s exciting workdays working together with a talented team, full people who are not afraid of challenges. As cliché as it might sound, I have always been interested in making art and bringing stories to life in one way or another - which is exactly what I get to do now - creating things together with a team of creative and ambitious people.”

    Siri – 3D ArtistThe Station

  • "The best thing about The Station are its people. We come from different backgrounds, but we share the value of accepting and caring about each other. The next best thing is the size of the company which creates opportunity for varied tasks and room for self improvement as well as teamwork. These are reasons why working here is one of the best life decisions I have made"

    Fanny - Technical ArtistThe Station

  • "The Station is a great work-environment filled with fun, great and professional people whose passion for games is never-ending, where creativity and curiosity is encouraged and where the source of coffee is inexhaustible. (We have tea too)."
