Block Block Block News

[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]

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉

It’s been a month since Block Block Block launched its Steam page, and I’m incredible grateful for all the support so far. Development has been moving forward steadily—though as always, for every bug fixed, a few new ones seem to sneak in!

This past month, I’ve been focused on a new feature I’m excited to share: the Studio Section.



The Studio Section lets you set up camera parameters to capture your dioramas in style. With a clean and intuitive UI designed to feel like operating a real camera lens, you can:

Adjust angles, zoom, and other things effortlessly.



Snap pictures of your creations with a single button.



Once you’ve captured your masterpiece, head to the Gallery, where you can manage your photos and relive your favorite builds.





In addition to Studio Mode, I’ve also added some brand-new items for you to stack, customize, and decorate with.



Thank you all for being part of this journey. If you’re as excited as I am about Block Block Block, make sure you add it to your wishlist on Steam—it helps a ton and means the world to me.

Here’s to a creative and block-filled year ahead!

Cheers,

Aender Lara
