Development Re-Started
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?
The game and code is a mess. The whole thing is an out-of-control prototype, and I don't feel that it's right to try and patch this up or add more content. The network code also has a fatal flaw in it, hence why the dedicated servers were taken down.
As you might have seen, while I wasn't looking the forum got spammed into oblivion. I have not had a lot of time, so the forum is offline at the moment. I'm working on a solution. So, how do we deal with all this? We're starting from scratch. Crazy as this sounds, I learned so much from the development of the Early Access version - and learned how NOT to do things. To really improve this game, we need to take things back to basics - both with the code, and the game mechanics. The fundamental values won't change (it's still a creative game for creative people) but the execution will be fine tuned. The biggest areas for improvement are the controls, UI, multiplayer and lack of reward. I've been taking part in design workshops and doing heaps of research and development, and I finally feel confident to say that development has restarted - we're building V1 :) Thanks to everyone who has supported us so far - I won't let you down.

As you might be aware, the development has gone rather stagnant. Well, there's a whole heap of reasons for this:
Simulator or Game?

We got spam-attacked

Concrete And Steel is a creative sandbox environment where you can create structures using a huge range of prefabricated objects and materials. Using walls, beams and pillars it's possible to construct everything from ancient castles to modern skyscrapers. Decorate your creation with a wide selection of wallpaper, paints and furniture to make it unique and interesting. Share your creations or build together with collaborative multiplayer modes. Completely customise your world with the powerful modding kit. The only limit is your imagination!
If you like the build elements of other games, but don't like the hassle of survival or story lines, then this game could be for you. Because creativity is the core focus of Concrete And Steel, you are not held back by other aspects like competitiveness, survival or pvp. You can dive straight into creating whatever you can imagine, either alone or with friends or strangers. Concrete And Steel gives you a blank canvas, an intuitive set of tools, and a diverse range of structural and decorative objects for you to create the world in your imagination at your own pace.
Concrete And Steel's toolset allows you to construct objects on a fine 0.1m grid. This means complex structures can be created in small spaces, and everything aligns beautifully. When you're done building, the paint tool allows you to customise the look and feel of your environment, from harsh stone textures to soft linen materials. And finally, the wire tool allows you to make your world interactive with switches and cables to wire up doors, lights, and many other interactive objects in the game.
Want to take it a step further? Create custom objects and paints with our Modding SDK, which integrates with freely available and cross platform software to empower you to put your ideas and dreams into Concrete And Steel's creative environment. Mods are supported in Multiplayer, too!
Once you've established a group of build enthusiasts, why not start up a Dedicated Server? Servers can be passworded and customised with mods, too! Our free server software is distributed via Steam and runs on just about any Linux distro! For those without technical knowledge, we are working with game server partners to bring you affordable managed game servers shortly after release.
Concrete And Steel is for the creative build geeks. It's for the players who enjoy the experience and process of creating their own world. It's for players who love the satisfaction of standing back and admiring their creation, especially after many hours of construction, and especially with the friends who helped them build it.
