Devlog #10 - ”Environment Sketches”

Hello Builders!


[h2]We continue our work on the game and one of the important aspects for us is to have variety in environments for our game. Let's talk about some of them![/h2]

We believe that wide selection is one of the key points for success and it often adds immensely to enjoyment for our players. We don't want you to be always stuck on the very same field that you had the opportunity to play with in the demo - that is why we're also preparing many different environments that you will have a chance to visit during your career as a builder! Below you will find some of the sketches our artists prepared for some of the areas where you might find yourself - however do keep in mind that those are only a part of what we want to create.



Some of you might be naturally inclined to prefer various lake areas or riversides - as presented in the demo. Some of you might prefer rocky areas or rural territories. We want to create a set of environments where each of you will find something for yourself. Builder's job, after all, is a job that might take you to very different places - customers tend to live in varied conditions and our maps will try to emulate that fact.



Of course what you can see above are sketches - something that was created from our artists to developers/designers to find an inspiration from and then create more detailed plans and maps. As we always strive for perfection we also tend to make corrections, adjustments or changes to our initial designs so don't be alarmed if in future you find something similar but not exactly the same as shown on the graphics above.

Do note that concepts shown in the devlogs do not represent the final look of the game - we're improving daily and the final game will be even better than what we can show you right now!
However if you liked what you saw and want to see more of our concepts - by all means let us know in the comments below!


Best regards,

Join our team and develop the game community with us!

Hello everyone!

We're happy to say that our community continues to grow and we've decided to look into the possibility of assigning few moderators for our Discord server!



Community Moderators will be tasked with providing help with answering most of the common questions for our games that are frequently asked on our Live Motion Games Discord server. They will also ensure that discussions led in our chats and threads will stay civil and will generally look out for the community - including gathering suggestions or bug reports from our players.

If you're interested in becoming one make sure to fill out the survey that you can access by this link!

If you would also be interested in becoming a moderator for our Discussion Boards on Steam be sure to also let us know about that fact in the last position of the survey.

We will be collecting applications up until end of the month!

Kind regards,
Live Motion Games

Open beta testing is coming!

Hello everyone!


As you might know Live Motion Games hosts a variety of interesting projects that we are proud to work on.

We are happy to say that day by day we make progress on each of them getting closer and closer to the release date of each of the particular games we work on. Our teams are busy as bees, as they say, but the enthusiasm within them is steadily growing - easily translating into creation of many great features that you will be able to test soon.



And speaking of testing - some of our projects still are accepting the sign-ups for the playtests that will happen directly on Steam. Below you'll find the list of games that are included in the play-tests project that will happen in future.



Builder Simulator - if you've ever dreamed about creating your very own house, exactly as you would like it to be then dream no more - Builder Simulator will allow you to do just that. It's a game dedicated to each of you who find joy in creation and execution of your own ideas. After all in the game you'll be able to go through every step of the construction process.




Chernobyl Liquidators Simulator - is a project where we tackle the topic of the catastrophe that happened in Chernobyl in April, 1986. We are approaching the topic seriously and realistically - no monsters in game but instead you will have to work hard in order to contain the radiation, complete your tasks as Liquidator and work for the sake of others.




Builders of China - our take on the management type of game where you will be responsible for the well-being and development of different Chinese settlements. Your decision will influence establishing trading outposts, growth of the population and research in new technologies. Will you hold to the Mandate of Heavens?




Supermarket Manager - if you ever wanted to manage your own Supermarket - here is a chance for you. You'll be tasked with many duties including hiring your own employees, equipping the market or developing your store. Create the market you can!


Currently we are happy to say that playtests for Chernobyl Liquidators Simulator will happen soon and shortly after them tests for Builder Simulator will follow. You might then expect our other games listed above to follow the suit in foreseeable future.

We invite you all to join the playtests - it's a great opportunity to check the games before release and influence the way they are developed. We'll be looking into your feedback as much as possible when deciding on further functions and features. We'll also make sure to eliminate all bugs your reports will bring to light.

Thank you for your continuous support. We are blessed to have such a great community and we hope to bring you the best games!

Kind regards,
Live Motion Games

Devlog #9 - ”Buildings in the vicinity - a look at the area #1”

Hello Builders!


[h2]While we are working on making sure that building in our game will remain fun and exciting we're also making sure that the area you will work in will be interesting and varied![/h2]

You might have seen that in the demo already but we're really making sure that the place within which you'll show off your Builder skills will be entertaining to explore and simply pleasing to look at. Various buildings in the area, small little details sprinkled here and there and stunning environments differing from each other in their general feel and looks will keep you satisfied and happy when starting a new construction project. Then it will be up to you to build something that will fit - we believe you can do that.



To showcase what we are talking about - take a look at two concept arts featuring one of the buildings that you might see somewhere in the game. Notice how we are approaching it by giving it its own proper feel and giving our artists time to develop their own artistic vision. One of the brightest points of the demo we've had released previously was the graphic side of the things and we want to build up onto it. To make that happen we need to make sure that not only construction itself is fun but also everything around you remain outstanding in quality. That is why we do our best to give even a building from background its own time to shine.



We'll be happy to talk more about our concepts, ideas, background and environments. Let us know if you're interested in the topic!

Do note that concepts shown in the devlog do not represent the final look of the game - we're improving daily and the final game will be even better than what we can show you right now!
