[h3]The game[/h3]
[b]GearBlocks[/b] is a game all about building interactive machines made from working mechanical components, testing them out in various challenges & scenarios, and sharing them with a like-minded community.
It aims to take you a little deeper into the mechanical side of things, so there are no simplified elements that do some of the work for you, you have to make everything from the ground up out of the fundamentals. It can be a bit of a brain stretcher at times, but gives a lot flexibility and scope for creativity!
[h3]The demo[/h3]
The demo version has a limited selection of parts and tools, a couple of basic maps, and gives you free reign to build in [b]creative mode[/b]. It also has Workshop support, so you can share your creations. Even with the limited part selection, the GearBlocks community has already made some incredibly cool creations, so it's well worth checking them out.
There aren't any in game tutorials yet, so to get up to speed with the building tools, you can refer to the hints in the game, or ask for help in the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/1305080/discussions/]Steam Community[/url] or on the [url=https://discord.gg/Pf46ska]GearBlocks Discord[/url].
[h3]About me[/h3]
I'm an ex long time "AAA" game programmer, now solo indie developer. For as long as I can remember I've always been fascinated by cars, machines and mechanical engineering. It probably all started as a child when I was obsessed with Lego Technic, which has been a big inspiration for this project, I wanted to try and bring the fun of that building experience into a game.
There have been many challenges along the way (gear physics comes to mind!), and progress is slow as it's just me, but after many years of work the game is finally starting to come to fruition. I hope you enjoy it!
