We talked about a bunch of improvements in our previous devlogs, new contracts, new mechanics, new modes. All those exciting aspects, but no way to try them out...

[h3]Until today! 👇[/h3]

We have released the new version of the Demo RIGHT NOW, with a magnificent amount of improvements, many of which were mentioned in our devlogs.
Well no point in keeping your restless hammers waiting.

[h3]Here are the patch notes! [/h3]

Exciting new contracts, including a contract for a multi-story house. 🏚️
Two game modes: Relaxed and Standard. The first allows players to play without penalties and with fewer time limits, while the second is the intended Deconstruction Simulator experience, with all its challenges. ⚙️

Two furniture dismantling modes: Simplified and Standard. Simplified makes dismantling faster and less complicated. You can change it in the game settings. 🧰

Access to a wrecking ball. One of the contracts allows you to see how the wrecking ball control system works. 🏗️

Improved demolition. The hammer has become more precise, and the new sound effects make destruction extremely satisfying. 🔨

Even more interesting house interiors. Every house in the game has gained a LOT of detail, which you can get a taste of in the demo. 🏡

Improved visuals. Deconstruction Simulator looks even better than before. 👀

Improved optimization. The game runs noticeably better than Prologue, especially on less powerful devices. 🎞️

Significant changes to gameplay balance. Both contracts and orders have been better adapted to player expectations, providing a more satisfying deconstruction. 🤑

A whole host of fixes and improvements over the prologue. We've fixed hundreds of bugs and rebuilt several systems to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. 🛠️

For now, Deconstruction Simulator Demo is the latest and most refined version of the game available. If you want the best experience, this is the one to play.

To get yourself hyped, check out our demo trailer! 👇

All of your feedback helped us immensely in creating this update and in realizing our focus with Deconstruction Simulator! 💬

A bunch of your voices came from our official Discord, so how about joining us? 😎




See you out in the field!
Deconstruction Simulator Team

With this devlog, we're gonna focus on something that we believe you'll appreciate. We don't want Deconstruction Simulator to be repetitive, where everytime you'll start, you will handle the same requests, the same places.
That is why we want today to focus on our variety of houses! 🏠

[h3]Deconstruction Simulator features dozens of different houses. Each one is unique and handcrafted by our team to bring you the most fun and personality. [/h3]


Everyday the environment will be different around you, quiet suburbs, city center, or lush forests with a single hut are just some of them. 🏞️

[h3]You will venture from simple, small trailer houses to glamorous, modern mansions filled with plenty of elements![/h3] Each of them can be dismantled down to their foundations, even if you want to go against the client's request and receive a penalty. This brings a need to have a different strategy for each home, but you will always have Relaxed mode to go from deconstruction to complete destruction! 💥

All of those you will slowly unlock through tiers. Each tier unlocks a different type of house that will require a completely new strategy for their deconstruction challenges.
While you will start from a simple trailer house, it will quickly go up in scale and complexity.



As you are out there in the field, you can take a look around. Every house tells a story, including its owner's, and with a keen eye you can find out plenty of clues about who you work for.
It may be an average Silverhollow resident with a family, but some of them may be famous artists or shady politicians. 👨‍🎨
Each house has a great amount of quirks, showing the personality of the owner.

You will see the ongoing stories of your clients, but also those that ended.
While playing the game you will find ruined houses that will require a different approach from what you will usually do! 🏚️



That's it for now, thank you for reading in, and look out for more devlogs, as each of them gets us closer and closer to the full release!
To be on par with all the news check out our official discord! 💬


See you soon,
Deconstruction Simulator Team!

HELLO DECONSTRUCTORS 👋

[h3]Welcome back to another devlog, where we have exciting things to announce🔥[/h3]

First of all, we want to THANK YOU for trying out the Prologue version of the game and giving us all the feedback we needed! Your comments and discussion brought light to things we need to add, fix, adjust, to make your experience the best there is.

And this is what this devlog will ultimately be about, the community's feelings about the Prologue. We read your suggestions, we watched your youtube videos, we looked upon your comments, reviews and various labors of love. Most of the points included are based on what you shared and what we wanted to do to make your lives easier. So this devlog and contents are just as much a product of your work and passion as ours. 💞

LET'S GET to it so you can continue your deconstruction ASAP! 🔨

[h3]🔧 Quality of Life[/h3]

[h3]We’ve got big news – and it’s coming straight to your ears. 👂💥[/h3]

[h3]Thanks to your feedback about the AI placeholder voice in the free Prologue, we decided not to wait any longer. We're thrilled to introduce the real voice of Deconstruction Simulator:

🎤 Nick Atlas – a pro voice actor whose work you might’ve heard in Dune: Spice Wars, Cultic, Spotify ads, and even Chevrolet.[/h3]

In the Prologue and Full Version of the game Nick brings life, personality, and a bit of attitude to both our protagonist and the grumpy boss from the beginning of the game. The difference is night and day – trust us, you'll hear it immediately.

This isn’t just a patch. It’s a major upgrade to the feel of the whole experience for that what's is waiting for you in the Full Version of the Deconstruction Simulator


🔧 What else is new?

• Non-AI voice acting by Nick Atlas!
  
• More optimization work, mainly related to lighting and physics
  
• Significantly improved Low settings preset, allowing better optimization for lower-end hardware
  
• Adjusted furniture destruction system when using a sledgehammer to be more satisfying
  
• Adjusted Korean translation
  
• Modified lighting inside houses
  
• Changed the visuals of some of the pickable pictures
  
• Fixed scanner-related issues
  

[h3]We’re building the Deconstruction Simulator with you, and your feedback is the reason this upgrade the free Prologue now. 🙌
[/h3]

So once you hear the new voice, let us know what you think — drop a comment “NICK IS KING!” into the comment.


We read all your feedback. And we’re not done yet. 🏗️


See you soon,
Deconstruction Simulator Team

[h2]Dear Deconstructors,[/h2]

[h3]We would like to thank our entire community for the warm welcome to yesterday's release of the free Deconstruction Simulator: Prologue. Your support and enthusiasm are extremely motivating for us! 🤝[/h3]

🚧 About AI VO
We would also like to address a matter that many of you have raised - the use of AI VO. In our free Prologue, we have used AI VO. However, we realize that we did not communicate this clearly enough on Steam page. We would like to point out that AI VO was only used temporarily in the free Prologue version.

We believe that working with real artists is important for both our game and the industry as a whole. We assure you that the voices of the characters in the full version of the game are created with real human talent behind the microphone.

🚧 Upcoming updates
Additionally, we would like to inform you that the first update to Prologue will be released soon, which will fix bugs and include game improvements.

The updates will include the quality of life features you've been asking for, including mouse invert, FOV slider and many other important changes.

What's more, we will also disable the penalty system in the Prologue so that you can get a stress-free look at the content we have prepared for you.

We also confirm that the Full Version of the game will include two modes: with and without penalties system. Thus, everyone will be able to customize the experience to their own preferences.



If you haven't had a chance to share your feedback yet, we highly encourage you to leave an opinion on Steam or visit our Discord server, where you can talk to members of our team.

Thank you once again for your support and contribution to the development of the game!
