Builder Simulator News

[h2]As you've seen from our devlogs we have many ideas for locations and environments where you'll be able to build![/h2]

Recently we've been almost obssesed with finding interesting locations for our game. We know that some of you are more than simply interested in being able to build various buildings in different locations. We also know that sometimes the environment somewhat influence what kind of building you would like to create in a particular area. That is why we're on our way to make sure that everyone of you will find a place perfect for your idea!



While last time we've been covering the suburbs this time we're moving to a more deserted but not lonely area. The building that can be created here might be different and perhaps you will find much more freedom here - and as we realize that some of you are dreamers at heart we know that this particular freedom could be something that might enhance your experience quite a lot.



After all it is a completely different task and requires different mindset. When you're building another one of similar buildings in the city you require a certain set of skills and it's the other one when you're tasked with building something within a rural spacious area. We know that you'll have many ideas and that is why we'll also do our best to give you the tools necessary to fulfill your ambitions.

Leave us your opinion in the comment - where would you like to create your constructions? What is the place where you would like to build your very own dream creation? We're very interested in your very own fantasies!

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!

Thanks for tuning in this time!

[h2]We're coming back to the topic of the buildings you might see in different areas we're planning for the game.[/h2]

Being a Builder can be a really fun job! If you like what you do you can not only feel satisfied by the effects of your work and seeing how slowly it takes the desired shape but also you might have the opportunity to visit various places. Some of them can even leave a lasting impression on you! Builder Simulator will strive to emulate that feeling by letting you do the work in a variety of conditions and settings. This time we'll show you a bit of what we're working on - the word is "suburbs"!



In this particular area, full of lovely houses and cozy buildings, you definitely don't want to break the overall image of the location. You will have to remember that building is never happening in a vacuum - there are other structures around your construction site and your building might either add to the overall quality of the place and make it even more lovely or can absolutely shatter the painstakingly created vision of other citizens. While it's a demanding job it might definitely offer a lot of satisfaction if we were to create a building that would be then called a "cherry on top" for this particular place.



Some ideas might come to you simply by observing the already existing buildings. What style were they build in, do they have any particular specific elements or symbols that you might want to pay attention to? It does not mean that you should simply copy the building and create its duplicate but inspiring yourself or finding a way to complement the region might help with your task.

[h2]This time we'll talk about different houses you will be able to see in the game and how we approach creating them.[/h2]



Have you played the demo of our game? If you haven't we strongly recommend doing so but that is not the point of this particular devlog. We bring up the demo because even in the very early demo we still were able to showcase our approach and let you see how important and vital is environment for us. We want you to build houses in a world that is not empty and void of life but in a place that you can feel is inhabitated and full of life. In the demo we've used several objects and buildings to that effect - you're able to check boat slowly drifting on the closeby waters, you could visit the neighbours' little house and even check their car! All of those little things are not random but are an effect of careful planning on our part.

Now, the houses that will be part of the environment deserves similar treatment and attention to details. And while we cover their exterior, as you can see on the screenshot above, we're not simply creating paper cut-out houses hollow in the inside.



In reality we think level or two deeper. It's not enough for us to create a visually pleasing model of a house - we also think about its interior, about its plan of rooms and corridors. We plan what different areas of the house will be designed for and what you can expect to see if you had the chance to peek inside. Those houses are all hosts for families and we do not want to forget about that.

In the future you will be the one to design great houses and homes that many people would love to live in. Make sure to plan accordingly as you will be the one who will ultimately decide whether your creation will be loved by everyone or scoffed at.

[h2]If you've ever wondered about our creative process and how does it look like to come up with the ideas - this devlog might be tailored just for you.[/h2]



We were more than happy to share some of our concept arts with you recently - however this is not where the story of digital drawing ends. Concept art is a part of the whole design job but it is often used to set out the overall mood of the level and the setting where you will have the chance to then work and construct fantastic buildings. There are however additional steps that let us evaluate the buildings and plan then in greater details - this is especially true for the building that you will be able to see around the working field.



Grey sketch helps us out in seeing the more detailed outline of the building we're working on. It is also a great ground to experiment with different concepts for the particular place. As you can see in the picture we often work on many ideas at the same moment and only after a long deliberation we come to a conclusion. That does not mean that whatever we were thinking about but wasn't selected gets completely cut - we can still find some inspiration in work our artists have done and all in all it serves well in making sure that our game stays varied and interesting!



After deciding on a particular design colouring is another important part of the process as it let our 3D Artists and Level Designers then focus on their job with colours in mind. Inspiration can come from different sources and as Builder Simulator is a game heavily inspired by actual building processes we do our best to always stay on the look out for fantastic ideas. Who knows - sometimes just a simple walk around the town can give us a lot of fascinating thoughts that we're ready to ponder within the team.
