Abriss: Build to Destroy

Changelog

• NEW OVERWORLD MAP

  
  A new screen showing you all levels on a map! This also introduces an "unlock point"-system, which you can use to unlock bonus levels or skip levels you don't find a solution for yet. The points can be gained by completing a level in the least moves possible with a 100% destruction score. Don't worry - you get a couple of them from the start!

  You can now upload and download constructs from and to Steam Workshop from inside the Sandbox! We're really excited for what you will create.

  Loading times between levels drastically reduced

  5120x1440 as well as 5120x2160 are both available in the options screen now, as well as an experimental automatic mode which you can try if your resolution isn't listed! Should work in most cases.

  We made some new animated targetblock designs and also changed some targets so they look more alive! Targetblocks connection dependency is also reworked.
  

• some more targetblock system improvements + cleanup

  The explosions look a bit better now and also fit the range of the actual physical effect better.
  

• Phase Transision UI fixes

  
  Switching from Building to Action phase etc. should not lead to unwanted UI overlap anymore.
  

• Buildblock Deletion/Undo fixes

  
  dependencies between blocks are handled differently now, deletion should be more intuitive now
  

• Rotator changes

  
  Rotator now hard stops starts and doesnt act like a hinge joint, and also connects on the top only
  

• Hinge changes

  
  New model and texture for better readability, fixed some connection bugs

Changelog

• Level 2 -4

  
  Redone the targets to make them more fragile.
  

Changelog

• Main targets stick again

  
  Now they stay where they should be.

  Level names of "Arm" and "Raft" in the 4th world were switched.
  

Changelog

• World 6: RUIN

  
  7 more Levels, one of them a Boss Level!
  

• IMPULSOR added

  
  Explosively detach parts into a direction with this new part, introduced in world 6!
  

• New environmental mechanic - Ice

  
  Slide around on the new worlds frictionless grounds.
  

• New targetblock+debris styles

  
  We've made a couple new models for the targets to be built out of, so the targets will look more diverse and cooler. Some of them are animated and will give a little more visual life to the levels. These aren't just found in the new world, but in old levels too!
  

• new Music

  
  New tracks for the new world!
  

• Targetblock System Improvements + Cleanup

  
  The destruction of targets should simulate more reliably and performant now.

  Improved the way explosions affect the Simulation and made some changes in the VFX to match
  

• Achievement System Fix

  
  Ah yes, our old friend. After not getting any achievements at all, this time the system would give you too many. Hopefully, now you will only get the ones you actually should have.
  

• Autorepair for Achievements

  
  For all those of you who just randomly got a bunch of achievements - we fixed that, so you now will only have the achievements you actually played free, and we remove the achievements that were wrongfully added upon startup. Take a screenshot while you can :D

Changelog

• Halloween is over

  
  Removed all pumpkins & bats. It was way too spooky for us, and we didn't want to live in fear.
  

• Another Save/Load Fix

  
  
• sigh* yes, it was still broken. It's really really really not broken now. Just works. I swear.
  

• Autorepair for Save Files

  
  If you experienced some saving issues in earlier updates - don't worry, the data should be still there. The game will automatically fix your save files for you, so the old save files stay compatible.
  

• More Graphics APIs supported

  
  The game should now run on more machines, there is support for both Direct3D 11 and Vulcan now.
  

Changelog

• "The Sun" Saving Fix

  
  The stats were not saved for the last level, making it impossible to get all achievements - now it works normally.
  

• "The Sun" Buildground Fix

  
  The frictionless Buildgrounds in the last level weren't as frictionless as they should have been. Oops
  

• End of game message

  
  You will now get a message after the last level ("The Sun") that will tell you that this is the last level, instead of just leaving you without a "next" button, wondering if this is it.
  

• Sandbox Buildgrounds fix

  
  The buildgrounds in Sandbox mode were broken, we just forgot to update them after we introduced the snapping system for Buildgrounds too.
  

• Full unlock fix

  
  There was a weird error where you would get MY PERSONAL SAVE FILE??? Very weird. It should not be possible anymore now.
  

• Credits added

  
  We added Scizzoid, Solo and GoneZero to our Credits as community testers. Thank you so much again for the effort of reaching out and sending your files!
  

• This game is now in Memory of Søren Krahl.

  
  He was a teacher, a colleague and a friend. We miss him.
  

Changelog

• Achievement System Fix Fix

  
  The expert achievements should really work now! You will get all achievements that are stored in your savefile upon opening the game. The game will also fix corrupted savefiles automatically (hopefully not breaking any)
  

• Achievement Popup Mode switched to immediate

  
  You will get achievement popups now immediately after unlocking them, instead of just getting them when closing the application.
  

• Improved Snapping & Holding mode

  
  Buildblock snapping now supports half-steps and is also applied in holding mode. You can also drag parts through other parts that are in the way. This should allow you all to build more precisely!
  

• Buildground Snapping

  
  Snapping now also applies to the Buildgrounds, making it a lot easier to line up your structures.
  

• Buildground connection feedback

  
  If you connect a Connector or other connecting part to a Buildground now, the Buildground will also glow to show it is connected.
  

• Part weight changes

  
  We are making the weights of our parts more uniform, so that everything of the same size and material will weigh exactly the same (they were a bit different before, for no reason). This should make it easier for players to estimate weights.
  

• Tutorial turning-while-holding fix

  
  If you tried to turn while holding in the turning step of the tutorial, it didn't register. Now it's fixed!
  

• Revert bug fixed

  
  You can revert normally now!
  

• Main menu continue UI fix

  
  The "Continue"-button in the main menu used to only activate after the Savefile was loaded, which moved the rest of the Menu in an annoying twitch. We changed it so that it's just greyed out for the second or so it takes to load.
  

• Zero gravity screenspace feedback fixed for Freecam

  
  The effect now scales with the different FOV of the Freecam.
  

• Loading screen size fixed in freecam

  
  When in Freecam, the black black plane that was in the background of the loading screen wasn't big enough to cover the camera plane (because it has a different FOV). We just made it a lot bigger lol
  

Hi there!

- Johannes, Till and Friedrich

Changelog

• Achievement System Fix

  
  The expert Achievements should work now! Just open the game, and you should get all Achievements you already played free immediately!
  

• Improved Snapping

  
  Buildblocks snap a lot harder to each other now, which makes it a lot easier to build perfectly aligned structures. This also makes the holding-and-dragging mode more important for fine-adjustments.
  

• Level cleanup

  
  We went through all Levels and found a bunch of random colliders that made the level behave weirdly, some excess lights that were barely visible but cost a lot of FPS and just made it a bit prettier.
  

• Turning parts while in Hold Mode

  
  A lot of you have tried this in the Tutorial Level - now scrolling while hovering and while moving will both work.
  

• New Anti-Gravity Effect

  
  We've had feedback that some people couldn't tell immediately if the gravity was switched on or off, so now we have a stronger screen-space effect that is enabled when the level is in zero gravity.
  

• Additional UI feedback

  
  We added some subtle FX to the UI to guide players through the phases of play in the game.
  

• Fixed "Black Plane of Death"

  
  YES OH MY GOD I FINALLY FOUND IT AND FIXED IT. Never again will the camera plane turn black randomly.
  
  (Thank you to Lukas149 on Discord for providing the error footage)
  

• Fixed camera plane behaviour

  
  At an earlier attempt to fix the "Black Plane of Death" I accidentaly made the camera plane not work properly. This is now fixed with the black plane bugfix, so now you should be a lot more aware of where you are in space with the camera.
  

• Fixed 4k Setting

  
  For some reason, there were two 8k settings in the resolution dialogue. One of them was the 4k option, but it was labeled wrong. We'll change this resolution dialogue from the hard-coded one it is right now to a dynamic one that checks for your systems available resolutions automatically, but until then at least it's fixed.
  

• Traditional Chinese Localization fix

  
  The name of the game in traditional chinese (一觸即發) was mistakenly shown in simplified chinese (一触即发). Please forgive us, we don't speak any chinese whatsoever and didn't notice - thank you to the user "Biscuit" in our Discord for pointing it out! Both of the names weren't in the main menu as logo, we also added this too.
  

• More accurate destruction rating

  
  We are calculating the destruction percentage a bit differently now, we also added some invisible collider-Killzones in the Level to help you reach your destruction percentage goals in the game better.
