It's been an interesting couple of weeks - here's the latest progress. Tool Bag One of the first things I worked in is improving the UI, and I started with the tool bag. As you can see, it's much clearer to see and easier to select which tool you need. Todo: Allow for more than 4 tools, allow for item categories Environment The environment has been the biggest change from the previous game. Pre…
As I mentioned in my last post, we're restarted development. Actually, it's more like we've restarted - from scratch. I started working on the network code last week. A big flaw in the previous network code was, once you get ~4,500 objects, you start having sync issues when you join.

As you might be aware, the development has gone rather stagnant. Well, there's a whole heap of reasons for this: Simulator or Game? This is the biggest part we've been stuck on. Do we go all-out and turn this into some super-complex creative tool for building stuff? Or do we add gameplay and make it less about building? Building on a Mess The game and code is a mess. The whole thing is an out-o…
Further to Update 3 released last night , this update fixes not being able to load savegames among other things. This update also gives you the ability to make cylindrical freeform shapes! Just hold C and scroll with the mouse to change freeform shape.
Hello! After a busy week of work, I'm proud to announce the 3rd update to Concrete And Steel!

Just wanted to thank all the play testers, technical testers, everyone who came and played the game at Insomnia Scotland, all the people who have reviewed the game on YouTube and everyone who is hyped about buying it. I hope everyone sees this game for what it really is and enjoys it. We have a long way to go in terms of gameplay and content…
If everything goes smoothly, we'll be launching into early access by the end of this month. We've got a tonne of work to do between now and then to polish various parts of the game, but it's starting to feel like more of a "finished product" now! I'm pleased to confirm that the game will cost £9.99 and will have free updates and addons for life! For the latest blog posts about the development,…
