Block Block Block News

[p]Hi everyone, it's been less than a week since we launched the Demo and our first small update is here.[/p][p]A couple of bugs have been fixed, but we have some changes and something new for you to try.[/p][p]• Now you can include a color filter for your pictures, a new icon was added next to the camera control ring in the Studio allowing you to set some extra mood for your scenes.[/p][p][/p][p]• There is a new option in the setting for you to set the FPS limit[/p][p]• Splash screen can now be unlocked with any of the 3 mouse buttons[/p][p]• There was a dark shadow in the background wall 👀[/p][p]• Interacting with items is now more natural. Previously, all interactions worked by moving the mouse left to right, but now they follow the expected behavior when you try to open a drawer or rotate a computer monitor for example[/p][p][/p][p]Hope you are having a great time, and let us know what you think would be cool to have around for the Demo, could be some small feature or items. We will see what we can do about it 😉[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks so much for playing and until next time![/p][p][/p][p]— Aender Lara[/p]

[p]Well, the day is here, the Demo is out, and the nerves along with the emotions are high.[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]I can't wait to see you bring to life the next weeks, don't forget to take pictures in the Studio section and share around.[/p][p]Want to remind you that game still in development and although the playtest give us a bunch of surprises to solve there is probably unknown bugs around the corner, for that you can help us reporting following the option in the game menu or maybe joining the Discord.[/p][p]But not everything has to be bugs, you can also give us feedback, tell us what you think would make the experience even better or what items you want to see in the future.[/p][p]Without anything else to say, I can only say: go and create something awesome.[/p][p]👉 Wishlist the game on Steam[/p][p]👉 Join the community on Discord[/p][p]Thanks so much for following along on this journey all this years![/p][p]— Aender Lara[/p]

[p]Hello everyone![/p][p]It’s finally time to announce that, after years of work, you’ll get to play a project that has grown into the polished product it is today: the Demo is about to be released![/p][p]Starting October 1st, and for an entire month, you’ll be able to explore its elegant, well-crafted building features and bring all your ideas to life. Yes, less than a week to go![/p][p][/p][p]My vision has always been to create a game where building feels as natural as moving blocks in real life, where scaling, rotating, and reshaping items is intuitive and fun. Soon, you’ll get to see for yourself whether that goal was reached.[/p][p][/p][p]You’ll have around 100 objects at your disposal for crafting beautiful cafés. But that’s just the beginning, you’ll also have a variety of basic shapes you can use however you like to build whatever you imagine.[/p][p]And the best part? After creating your perfect scene and adjusting the lighting to your taste, you’ll be able to snap photos and share them with the community.[/p][p][/p][p]Playtesters have already had a lot of fun experimenting (and yes, breaking the game!), and I’ve had just as much fun fixing all the bugs they found. Now I can’t wait to see what you create, hear your feedback, and learn your ideas for making this experience even better.[/p][p]We’ll see you on October 1st!

[p]Hello everyone![/p][p]It’s been a little while since the last update, but we’ve got a lot of exciting things to share. We recently hit 4500 wishlists (thank you!), opened a Discord server, and began testing builds directly on Steam. Slowly but sure, everything is coming together.[/p][p]Behind the scenes, we’ve made some less flashy but important improvements, like better undo/redo history, smaller save files, and smarter background systems. But today’s devlog is all about the more visually fun and game-changing additions from the past few months:: [/p][p]
Easier plank placement on the edges of your pirate ship

You can now offset items horizontally, not just vertically. This means you can fine-tune placement in all directions; ideal for things like floating planks over tables or creative builds that need a little push out of their center.

[/p][p]
Stretch walls with more control (and less stress)[/p][p][/p][p]Deformable items now support one-sided editing, thanks to the horizontal offset system. Grab just one side, and we’ll handle the math in the background to make sure the item still behaves nicely with its parent object. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]
More accessibility and better performance control

The settings menu is growing, with new options like UI scaling, graphics toggles, and audio settings. Whether you’re tuning for performance or customizing your experience, more tools are now at your fingertips. [/p][p][/p][p]
Now supporting three different types of lights[/p][p]The biggest visual update: lighting controls are here! You can now use: [/p]

• [p]Ambient Light (Sky Light): Adjusts the overall tone of the room and includes fog controls for atmosphere.[/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]Directional Light: Simulates sunlight or light from a set direction, with optional shadows![/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]Item Lights: Some items like screens or lamps now emit light (via point lights), adding warmth and realism to your builds.[/p]
