Outside the Blocks News

[p]Hello to all fans of building, modeling, and creating!
[/p][p]In this Steampost I’d like to show you something I actually added quite a while ago, but which still brings me just as much joy![/p][p][/p][p]Some of you keen-eyed observers may have already spotted it in screenshots before. I’m talking about objects made out of fabric! That means all sorts of flags, pennants, banners… as well as tents and market stalls![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Each of these lets you customize the fabric, its color, pattern, and even symbols.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]
On top of that, I’ve added a whole palette of various carpets, so you can break up the monotony of large, uniform floors.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Or, for example, decorate the inside of a tent![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]These decorations are really cool and have become some of the objects I use most often. You’ll get to see that for yourself in the new trailer I’ll be publishing next week! Take care, and keep an eye out for the next Steamposts!
[/p][p]P.S. Of course, the flags & tents models will only be available in the full 1.0 release and won’t appear in the upcoming demo.[/p]

[p]Hello to all fans of building, modeling, and creating![/p][p]Finally, the moment has come when I can present to you some exciting new content I’ve added to Outside the Blocks![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]First up… BRIDGES! Below you’ll find a few images showcasing the results of my tests.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The game now features 4 bridge modules that can be combined in all sorts of different ways, along with a variety of materials.
[/p][p][/p][p]Another cool feature is that you can freely connect them with architectural modules, creating all kinds of unique and amazing constructions.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I hope you already have thousands of ideas in your heads for how to make use of these modules! I can’t wait to see what you’ll build with them.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]P.S. Of course, the bridge models will only be available in the full 1.0 release and won’t appear in the upcoming demo.[/p]

[p]Hello to all fans of building, modeling, and creating![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This weekend, to celebrate reaching Beta of Outside the Blocks, I decided to take a short holiday and… visit another open-air museum! This time it was the Muzeum Kultury Ludowej Pogórza Sudeckiego.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]My plan was to look at everything carefully and check whether I had missed anything in the game![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I think my mission was a success, because pretty much everything I found could be recreated![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The only exception was a really awesome bell tower. Maybe, if I find some extra time, I’ll add it before the official release![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I hope you also had a great weekend! [/p][p]See you in the next Steam post![/p]

[p]I’ll keep it short and straight to the point: [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]What does that mean?[/h2][p]I’ve finished all the planned work needed to release Outside the Blocks. The game now has the full set of features and content to be in your hands![/p][p][/p][h2]Does that mean it’s releasing tomorrow?[/h2][p]Not yet. I want you to get a polished and comfortable product, so in the coming weeks I’ll focus on fine-tuning, adding some quality-of-life improvements, and fixing any bugs that still show up.[/p][p][/p][h2]Can I help with testing?[/h2][p]Absolutely! This September I’m planning to release a new DEMO, which you’ll be able to PLAY and REVIEW on Steam. Your feedback will play a huge role in determining how soon the full release happens![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]What’s in the demo?[/h2][p]The new demo is aimed mostly at players who haven’t tried Outside the Blocks yet, but veteran feedback is just as important.[/p][p]Here’s what’s new:[/p]

• [p]Features: Undo/Redo, light sources, animated objects, and more[/p]
• [p]Improvements: reworked tutorial, new material system, revamped camera controls[/p]
• [p]Content: a slightly smaller set of objects than in the old demo, but with fresh additions[/p]

[p]Since I’m developing this game completely solo, it’s easy to get biased or miss obvious issues. That’s why your feedback is invaluable.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]What’s next?[/h2][p]Stay tuned for updates and new posts where I’ll showcase what’s coming in the final version. I’ve got plenty of cool stuff I can’t wait to share with you soon![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Take care and see you in next steam post! [/p]

[p]Hello to all the fans of building, modeling, and creating!
[/p][p][/p][p]Outside the Blocks just hit 50,000 wishlists! 🔥 Thank you all so much! [/p][p]Here’s a quick update on what’s coming next:
[/p][h2]The demo is going offline (and might come back)[/h2][p]The current demo is being removed, as it no longer reflects the current state of the game.
I'm considering releasing a new one later on – but nothing is confirmed yet.[/p][p][/p][h2]Release? Hopefully this year![/h2][p]The goal is to release the game later this year. I’m not ready to lock in a date just yet, but development is going well.[/p][p]I recently finished implementing undo/redo – easily the most challenging part so far. Everything else should feel much smoother in comparison. I’ll keep you posted![/p][p][/p][h2]More content reveals soon![/h2][p]Over the coming weeks, I’ll be showing off more new content.
A lot of cool stuff is already done – just waiting to be shared![/p][p][/p][h2]Want to stay updated?[/h2][p]Join our DIscord https://discord.gg/mAYsGS77t3 – I post new stuff there first (and sometimes share weird experiments 😄).[/p][p]Oh, and if you're curious about what's planned for the game, here's the roadmap: [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Thanks again for the incredible support and for helping the game hit 50,000 wishlists! 🚀[/p][p]Just a few months ago, I wouldn’t have believed my game could get this much attention.[/p][p]Truly – thank you. ❤️[/p]
