Merry Christmas from Builder Simulator Team!

Hello Builders!


[h2]We wish you Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas![/h2]



As the winter rages on it's good to have a warm place where you can cozy up and spend quality bonding time with your family. It's the best time of year to reconnect with people you haven't seen in a while and talk your hearts out in front of a Christmas tree while eating great food! We hope that you all will have a great time during Christmas!

It's thanks to various builders of different periods that we can enjoy our holidays within 4 walls that provides us with security and safety. We often might take it for granted but buildings that we live in are uniquely crucial in our lives and they often influence our behaviours and mood. We hope that with Builder Simulator you'll be able to create something unique - your dreams in a virtual world of our game. We hope that in future you'll be able to present us with unique house concepts that you've conceived - some of them perhaps being winter or Christmas-themed!

After all as soon as you'll become a builder you will be able to create your dreams!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Best regards,
Builder Simulator Team

Devlog #17 - ”Formworks and Reinforcements”

Hello Builders!


[h2]It's time for a short sneak-peek into our development - let's see some of the mechanics improved and enhanced![/h2]



First of all - we are very thankful for all feedback we've been able to gather up until this point. We know that you are still full of great ideas and suggestions and we can't wait to read about them and implement them into our work. In this devlog we're showcasing some of the changes we've introduced to the game in comparison to the playable demo. A lot is changing and a lot will be changed in future too - of course we'll be here to let you know about those changes via our devlogs!

Now without further ado, let's do it!

The first change is a very vital one. We've received numerous reports about motion sickness being a problem when playing games featuring first person view. As soon as we've noticed that we've started doing our best to make sure that game will feature counter-measures that would affect players experiencing these kind of issues positively. We hope that changed way of walking of our character alongside many other tweaks and improvements to the overall way the game is displayed will make it accessible to all players!

We're also making changes to many of the mechanics that you might have witnessed in the demo. In this case we've been working on a way to make sure that the process of installing the formworks and reinforcements remains visually pleasing and satisfying experience while giving it the extra oomph and quality-of-life adjustmentes. As you can see in the video above you'll be still able to place the particular elements manually one by one but if you want to increase the speed of the process - nobody is stopping you!

The same goes for the reinforcements, as shown above. To add to it we've been also working on creating new animations for our mechanics - you might expect better, snappier and more fitting animations of particular features to enhance your fun and immersion in the game!

Hope you had fun reading our devlog - make sure to tune in again next time!

Best regards,

Devlog #16 - ”Visiting the countryside! #2”

Hello Builders!


[h2]As per the popular requests - we're happy to show you more from one of the levels we've been working on![/h2]



In the previous devlogs we gave you some insight into how will the overall atmosphere of the rural level shape up to be. We've received many positive voices and we're thankful for all comments and likes! As we've noticed your interest in the level grow we've decided to share some more awesome screenshots with you showcasing the are we're working on.



At the same time we don't want to overshare! We strongly believe that some things should be left unsaid - purely because we want to check your reactions after finding that certain Easter Egg or funny feature we've hidden somewhere on the level.

Still, while creating the level it was clear to us that it needs to feel alive! While you'll be working on your particular assignment or fulfilling your life-long dreams and ambitions as befitting the true builder, you'll notice many different pre-existing objects and items scattered (albeit logically!) on the field. It is a rural area after all so scarecrows and windmills are to be expected, right? Fields of wheat and rye will catch your attention making you realize that you've indeed found yourself in a new place.



Designing levels with overall grand atmosphere and setting fitting them will also make it easier to find a best location for your particular building. While we know that you might design your building to be universally constructed in any location we also want to give you an extra possibility to tailor your buildings style to the location. This way, you may find yourself more inclined to build some particular structures in a certain level... or you might completely break the convention and build a totally town-like house in the middle of the peaceful village!

That's all from us this time - let us know if you would like to see more!

Thanks for tuning in this time!

Best regards,
Builder Simulator Team

Devlog #15 - ”Visiting the countryside!”

Hello Builders!


[h2]This time we have a treat for all of you - we'll be showcasing few screenshots from one of the levels we're working on![/h2]

We're making sure that our game will make you feel like a real builder. That is something that we've been really adamant about from the very beginning - and we still believe that phrase to be very appropriate for our development. We're heavily focused on the gameplay and we're doing our best to ensure that you will have an amazing fun with our game - this is something that stays unchangeable for us. We are however interested in showing you all intricacies of builder's work and one of those is taking in the environment where we will work our magic - it's something that you simply can't miss out on. After all - if you're a builder and you're stepping in a certain location for the first time... wouldn't you want to admire the scenery for at least a moment?

So much space... Think about the possibilities!

The countryside has welcomed us with a cloudy sky and it feels like it's going to rain. That however should not stop us from doing what we intended to do here. We'll be braving the weather conditions in order to make sure that either we or our customers (depending whether we're working on our own accord or are we currently working as per the contract!) are happy with the building we had in mind. With a location this big we can surely do some amazing magic and create a unique design.

Say hello to our friend, he's been eagerly waiting for your arrival!

Countryside should be full of interesting objects waiting for you to be discovered. That means extra opportunities for exploration that will surely make your job so much more fun. Scarecrow visible on the screenshot is only the beginning - there'll be much more picturesque areas waiting for you. And that is not all - you might want to traverse the area more than once as we plan on including some little surprises for you here and there - we hope you'll have as much fun finding those easter eggs as we had when we created them!

We'll be happy to showcase more of the level in the next devlog so remember to stay tuned in!

Thanks for tuning in this time!

Best regards,
Builder Simulator Team
