Q&A Part 1



Builders!


We are so happy that you enjoy our playtest. Thanks to you, we have so much feedback and interesting questions and ideas from you, that we've decided to do some Q&A this month.

1) Will there be more options for buildings or potential sandbox aspect using a selection of pre-made walls, roofs and more decor?

Depends on the outcome of the interest - we could consider even a workshop. But for now - we're hoping for the best.

2) Is there a possibility of changing the mechanics of building the walls? Actual one is quite tedious, especially with the highest level.

Only selective walls and defects are build with the use of bricks - rest of the buildings are build differently. In all full honesty, both mechanics have their fans, and we really want to keep the balance here.

3) Will there be in the future the possibility of some kind of helpers in the game? Or even a multiplayer?

As before - we're keeping our fingers crossed that it will be a success. This will help in further development of the game.

4) Will you plan to add a tool that will pick up more than one thing at a time while cleaning?

Hard question - we didn't think about it- we're happy to hear about your propositions.

5) A cutscene after selecting the city of the main character travelling to the city would be an interesting idea. Is it a possibility that you would add something like this?

Each city will have their own cut-scene.

6) We love what you show us now, and we also know the main locations of the game. But are there somehow plans to add more cities in the countries you have in the game?

Again - as in the first question. We're planning to add 2 more maps after the release, and maybe something else? We will see.

7) The ability to unlock better equipment in an interesting option. Are you considering it?

Not really - our goal is to make each map as original as possible. Each has its own mechanics and tools. The only enhancements we are planning and working on are character-wise.

8) Are you planning to add more countries, like Poland, maybe?

For now, we only can say that we're planning to add 2 DLC, but can't say more.

9) The possibility of hearing the characters dub in their native language when we are playing in a particular country would be cool. Had you thought about it?

We thought about it, but don't think it's the best option for now.

10) We could use vehicles like sledgehammer instead of a regular hammer or a sledge used for heavier destruction of objects. Are planning to add more equipment to the game?

The game has already implemented lots of different mechanics - we hope that you will enjoy what we had prepared in the full game.

That's all for now, folks! Next week we'll be back with another portion of most anticipated questions.

Till next time!

Devlog #17 Hero of West Germany



Builders!


We’d already talked about the hero of the British campaign in WW2 Rebuilder, but for the last few weeks we’ve been showing you some of the maps taking place in Germany. New country means a new campaign with the brand new protagonist - let us introduce her now!

Ursula is the Trümmerfrau (ger. “rubble woman”). The German male population suffered great losses during World War II, with the soldiers being killed or taken captive. Women had to replace their fallen husbands, brothers, fathers and sons in many areas of everyday life. The ones that worked on clearing and rebuilding the ruined German cities were called Trümmerfrauen.



Their life in after-war Germany was very hard. The cities were ruined beyond recognition, afterm firestorm-causing bombings. There was a shortage of food - Trümmerfrauen had been given for their work the food stamps barely covering their needs. Many of them lost their families during the war.

During her campaign Ursula, working on the rebuilds in various places in West Germany, looks for any traces of her missing husband Andreas, a German soldier that never came home. She begins her journey in Remagen, not far from the Golden Mile, the huge camp for the prisoners of war captured by the Allies. Here she renovates the famous Ludendorff bridge. She continues her search in Essen, helping with recovering the heavy machines from the city’s factories. The huge part of equipment of German industrial plants that survived the war had to be handed to the Allies as reparations. In Hamburg, the city devastated by firestorms, Ursula learns about her husband’s heroism in rescuing civilians. She also renovates the city’s canals and one of the tenement houses.



In WW2 Rebuilder we face a very sensitive task - showing the aftermath of World War II in Germany. We are trying our best to do it with utmost care and compassion for the victims of the most horrifying conflict in human history.

Is this the end of Ursula’s journey? Probably not, but we won’t talk about it now ;)
The WW2 Rebuilder Germany Prolog comes soon, stay tuned to experience the work of our Trümmerfrau yourself!

What do you think about Ursula and what do you expect from the German campaign? Let us know in the comments!

Till next time!
