Welcome to our second devlog for The Constructors! Today we wanted to talk about the build planning mode, which is a key part of the game. In real life, each successful construction starts with a well-laid-out plan, and it's the same here.
In The Constructors, we split the whole construction process into distinct stages, and the first one is blueprint planning. During this part, you'll be designing the general shape of your building and adjusting its load-bearing capacity to sustain its size and weight. On top of that, you'll have to decide on the number of floors and their shape (with enough freedom to design some really cool-looking buildings) as well as the placement of staircases, which your workers will use to reach the higher levels.
Once that's done, your construction crew will get to work on the building's framework and the structural support. After that is complete, you can start designing the elevation, individual floor plans, interior walls, placing windows, doors, and more.
Later stages include decorating the lot, setting up the parking spots, utility areas, etc. Moreover, during the construction process, you'll have to take care of deliveries and place all the amenities that your workers will need throughout the project.
For now, we are focusing on making the blueprint planning mode as polished, intuitive, and smooth as possible. We have just finished reworking how the system works, introducing a new node-based solution, and we're very happy with the changes so far.
That's all for this development update. Wishlist and follow the game to make sure to get all the further news! You can also follow the game on Facebook and Twitter to stay up-to-date. Talk to you soon!
