If everything goes smoothly and no unexpected bugs drop a concrete block on our heads, we are aiming to release this DLC later this year.

Help us build a better world!

Builder Simulator joins the World Ocean Day Steam Sale 2025, because clean oceans mean a healthy planet. They produce over half of the world’s oxygen, regulate the climate, and support countless forms of life.

From June 5th to June 12th, 10% of the profit from every copy of the game sold will go directly to support real-world ocean conservation efforts - including whale and dolphin conservation. The game will also be 65% off during this time – it’s the perfect opportunity to grab it for yourself or gift it to someone who’d enjoy building just as much.



[h2]You’ve asked us to stop leaving your houses wide open — so here comes the fences and gates.[/h2]

Version (v.1.9) is available for you! To be sure, verify the game files.

Now your homes can look just as good on the outside as they do on the inside. Define your garden spaces, mark your territory, or simply make your house feel more complete. And yes, architect mode now supports fence planning too, so go wild with your outdoor visions. Hope you’ll enjoy the update, and we’re excited to hear your thoughts. Got more ideas? Tell us what you'd love to see next.







Thanks for reading and for helping us turn pixels into real-world impact.
If you’ve got ideas, want to hang out, or just love talking bricks and blueprints, hop onto our Discord:

Builder Simulator - a bunch of hotfixes

Hello Builders!


Since the last update, we have been working hard to correct most of the bugs you reported.
Contract related problems, building artifacts, roof tile color selection, not working speed skills and much more should now be fixed!

Version (v.1.75) is available for you! To be sure, verify the game files.



We’ve also prepared a special branch for you to jump into if you want to downgrade a game version (v.1.7) for a while in case of some problems or game-breaking glitches.

Here’s the code for the branch -> prevBuilderBuild

That’s all for today. We hope to see some new faces on our Discord. We look forward to any feedback you may have for us after this hotfix. As always, thank you for your continued support of our games, and we look forward to hearing from you!



Cheers!

After weeks of development, we’re finally ready to give you the new tall update for the Builder Simulator! From now on, you’ll be able to build even higher houses! Since the game premiere, one floor above the ground floor was the maximum for your buildings. But let that limitation be in the past! From now on, every building in the game can be two stories higher!

Workshop Update is Finally LIVE!

Hello Builders!

[h3]Please prepare a round of applause for the newly introduced Steam Workshop![/h3]

Today we’re finally ready to share with you the Steam Workshop Update We’ve mentioned a few times before! Thank you for your patience while we finished up a few things from our side!

From the game side you’ll notice a new option in the Main Menu that will allow you to see the items downloaded from the Steam Workshop.



There you should also have the option to send the items you’ve created directly into the Steam Workshop. To create your own item to the Steam Workshop open a tool that should be downloaded by default with the new update. To check if it’s installed properly first enter your library and change the visibility of tools.
Press the list that should say “Games” or “All” and make sure the Tools section is marked.



Then Navigate to the Builder Simulator - Workshop Exporter (or search it via the search bar) and make sure it’s properly installed.



Now you can press play on the Workshop exporter and the tool should guide you through the steps of creating your own item into the game. When the item is ready simply click “Prepare Item” then “Send Item” and Verify it on your Steam Workshop. After all that you’re ready to download the full item from the Steam Workshop (By default it’s unsubscribed so you need to subscribe it manually).

If you have any troubles with the Steam Workshop, we’ll prepare a more detailed tutorial in the next Devlog. Let us know if you need that in discussion under this Devlog.

Just before we finish everything up, we just wanted to remind you about the recent release of Builder Simulator VR, and about the special Bundle we’ve prepared just for you!

As always thank you for sticking with us until the end!
We can’t wait to hear your opinions and see the items you’ve created for the game!

Cheers!
