This is our first major update! We\'ve cleaned up all major bugs and fixed a lot of stuff that was broken since EA1. If you encounter issues, please let us know in the bug-reports channel of the Discord or the Steam forums.

Major Features

Customizable bots to give life to your maps! Give them any weapon and customize their settings like aggression or 360 degree vision. You can use them without weapons to create wandering NPCs, give them swords to make an army of warriors, or give them all guns to create a deathmatch server. They look the same as a player, and you can give them your avatar settings.

We\'ve fully reworked the prefab system. The new prefabs live in your catalog! Save entire cars, contraptions and other interconnected objects locally for easy reuse. Grab a vehicle from the gallery and place it, instantly, anywhere you have permission. Copy things from the world into your real clipboard, and paste them into Discord or another running instance of the game.

The selector has been completely rewritten with a new connection mode. Grab a complete physics contraption with all connected grids and entities in a single click.

Four separate player collision channels let you create invisible walls that only certain teams can pass through, opening up new possibilities for minigames and maps.

A new component that lets you dynamically change a brick\'s visibility, collision, and color through wires. Perfect for hidden doors or interactive displays.

The Applicator and Connector now have an X-Ray mode, letting you edit components on bricks hidden behind other bricks and entities.

Welcome to a new little blog series we're doing in the run up to Early Access. We currently don't have time to write huge technical dev logs like we did in the past, but there are still a lot of new features to talk about! So, we decided to instead post a bunch of little blogs whenever something is ready without losing ourselves too much in the details.

Read the full preview on our development blog !

Ready to hit the water? Brickadia launches into Early Access on July 11, and it's bringing buildable, fully functional boats with it!

• Build anything from sleek jetskis to massive sailboats.
• Design your own courses and race your friends at top speed.
• Modify them mid-game, with live changes working instantly.
  

Were so excited to finally reveal the Early Access launch date! After all these years of development and thanks to your continued support, we announce that BRICKADIA will arrive in Early Access on July 11th. And to celebrate this milestone, weve just released this new montage trailer featuring 100% real gameplay!

From July 11 youll have the chance to experience one of the most dynamic and creative multiplayer sandbox games available:

• Build massive worlds, construct intricate physics-based contraptions, and even create custom game modes, all in real-time multiplayer.
• Our advanced physics system allows you to bring your creations to life with buttons, motors, doors, lights, and wire logic, no coding required.
• Customize your experience with a flexible avatar system and a vast library of free parts.
• Transform your world into a chaotic battle arena with custom rules and a full arsenal.

Hey everyone! With Steam Next Fest wrapped up, we're now full steam ahead, working toward our Early Access release. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank everyone, especially our amazing community, for participating in the Demo!

We loved playing with your different worlds and meeting new players and veterans alike. The creativity on display is genuinely beyond our imaginations! Seriously, thank you. We love this community!

In this post, we talk about our NextFest experience, the survey, feedback, and our plans to launch Early access in July.

PATCH ALERT! CHAOS MODE ENABLED

We have activated the server browser for part 2 of this demo. Enjoy.

Making your server public is probably a bad idea if you want to build in peace. Abuse of the server list results in an immediate ban with no appeals process.

There's also a potential fix for players becoming undamageable due to threading issues with the physics, while the hit registration is still half baked, it should feel much better now!

The lord has spoken and so it shall be! We are go for ROUND 2!

(You may have to restart your Steam client for it to update)

Today we're going to be dipping our toes into two big Early Access features that haven't been discussed much on the blog: Wires and Vehicles. We'll also go over all the other cool stuff that the team did in 2024!

But before all that, we have an announcement: In February, we'll be joining the Steam Next Fest with a time-limited demo! During the fest, you'll be able to get your hands on an early preview of all the new creative features we've been cooking for the past few years!

The Next Fest build will be our Creator Demo, a build of the game that will focus on building and creators. The demo will be available from February 24 at 10 AM Pacific to March 3. We'll share more on this demo as we get closer to the Fest!

A building game is all about building, right? Seems only fair that we make sure the process is as simple as possible, while still allowing people to make complex and intricate builds. After watching how our players were building in the Open Alpha, we've gone to the drawing board to streamline the common ways people would try to build and add new features that make it easier to pull off awesome designs.

You can check out what we've come up with at our development blog .

After a bit of a wait, we finally have another devlog to show off! Come check out some new features we've added to the game. Engine updates (again), an upgraded environment system, better reflections, improved glass rendering, HDR support, DLSS 3 and FSR 2 upscaling, and better transitions between brick cluster levels of detail - plenty to read about!

Want all the details? You can read the full post on our development blog .

This incredibly technical devlog makes up our 4th development update, where we go over many improvements made to the engine in order to get physics running as cleanly as possible. On top of that, we've applied some miscellaneous improvements to load times and memory usage. The result? Highly detailed physics between objects that allow you to make some impressive contraptions.

Read about it at our development blog .

In our 3rd devlog, we go into details about placeable entities and various ways they can be used. Not only that, but we introduce the new physics joints, which are used to create contraptions and (sorta) vehicles!

Read about it at our development blog .

For our second devlog, we go into the details of the various new graphical features and performance improvements gained by moving to Unreal Engine 5.1, including things like Proto-Lumen and fancy depth of field to make builds really pop out in screenshots.

Read about it at our development blog .

Welcome to the Brickadia devlog! We'll post various information related to the development of Brickadia here. In our first devlog, we discuss upgrading our game to Unreal Engine 5.1, and also integrating Physx 5.1.
