Version 0.5.2 live on main branch

Happy holidays everyone!
We've just uploaded a new build to Steam, version 0.5.2!

New in this build is Challenges. Yes! Challenges are back, albeit in a slightly different form from the pre-early access versions. There are two challenge types:

Mayhem
Destroy as many voxels as you can within 60 seconds. To assist you in this task you have access to three sets of remotely detonated bombs, with two bombs and a detonator in each set. You are free to prepare your Mayhem, moving propane tanks and such, but as soon as you've destroyed 1000 voxels the timer starts.

Hunted
Valuables are spawned one by one in random locations on the map. Pick up as many as you can. There is no time limit.
Oh, I almost forgot, there is a very aggressive chopper chasing you.

Apart from challenges we've gone through the game and fixed a lot of smaller issues like floating furniture and stuff.

Both challenges are implemented in all the campaign environments. Just like in sandbox, you need to have reached the environment in the campaign.
Mayhem is available once you've played "The Lee computers" in the campaign, while Hunted is unlocked once you've played "An assortment of dishes".

The modding API also got an overhaul and the API reference and modding instructions can be found at http://www.teardowngame.com/modding

Have fun!

Teardown mods add Minecraft pickaxes, a Portal gun, and Team Fortress 2 weapons

As the name suggests, Teardown isn't about building things, it's about wrecking stuff. The charming little voxel-based sandbox game appeared on Steam Early Access just over a week ago, and modders have already gone to town on it, adding everything from Minecraft tools to Team Fortress 2 weapons.


Teardown's voxel art style makes it a natural fit for Minecraft's chunky visuals, and there are already a host of Minecraft-themed mods for the game on Nexus Mods. Swap out the sledgehammer for a diamond pickaxe or Steve's blocky hand. You can change the UI to one that uses the familiar Minecraft HUD with health hearts and the toolbar. Of course, there are several maps to choose from as well, all done to make Teardown look just like Minecraft.


But modders haven't stopped there, not by a long stretch. Another mod adds the police helicopter to every map, replacing it with the original Doom's bulbous red cacodemon. There are several weapon packs, including ones for the FN-FAL and Spas-12 shotgun. You can even use voxel versions of a selection of weapons from Team Fortress 2.
