I found this game a few weeks ago and I am already hooked on it. Ive always dreamed of this type of game where you can build ANYTHING and I've finally found it! After talking to the developers it is clear that they are passionate about the game and are always around to help the community.

Please dont be put of by the comments from people who have put less than 2 hours into the game (who are the souce of almost all of the negative reviews). I know that the tutorials aren't the easiest to follow at times, but if you pay attention to what they are saying, you can easily find out how the mechanics work. Someone with 60+ hours play time is much more reliable than someone who tried the game once and then based their review on that.

Some other reviews also talk about bugs. Even though the game is in a good state right now, an early access will always contain bugs. This is what you need to accept when you buy one and not expect it to be perfect in every way. After all, your input will help the devs fix the bugs that you find.

If you enjoy sandbox games that let you express your creativity and try new things, you definitely need to pick this up!

My advice to anyone considering buying this game is to go watch some of the user videos first. The ones made by shakenbake are really good. This will give you an idea of what you can build and some idea on how to use the ui.

The ui/building can be a bit clunky but the devs are working on that.

With that being said, this is (in its current state) a vehicle building sandbox only. There are no challenges, missions etc....yet. I am having the most fun building and sharing vehicles. Its pretty cool to see what others come up with. In multiplayer you can drive each other's vehicles.

This game has real potential, and is fun in its current state if you like building things. Just keep in mind that building is 90% of the game at the current time, although I assume that will change in the future. The game is very playable with minimal bugs. When playing I feel as if it's missing features as opposed to having bugs, which it should be that way considering it is alpha.

I'm having a blast playing and am looking forward to seeing what this game becomes.

Oh wow, AMAZING game. Just get it... Ok now, a few suggestions for the devs: The hanger that you build in is too small: some parts take up the whole hanger, second(something that you may already be working on: second planets, just imagine ksp in first person: Making a giant rocket, flying to another world, dropping your dune buggy of and exploring another exciting place.

I've had so much fun! You can actually build anything you'd like. If it's gonna work as intended is something else but practice makes perfect! Okay, it's not a true sandbox yet as you have to collect three kinds of orbs to buy parts you can use in the vehicle builder. But what's the point in building vehicles if you don't want to take them out for a spin. just collect some orbs along the way and before you know it you'll have enough orbs,
Even though i had a really great time with this Early Acces game, it's not for everybody. if tinkering and experimenting is your thing, this game will be right up your alley! (And it's made in Belgium, awesome!)

It shows potential but aircraft are nearly impossible to build because you have no way of viewing the weight distribution, or I've noticed correcting it. I've spent literal hours trying to get aircraft not to tailspin on take-off. With very little success. Wait until it's later along in development to get it or you might get really stressed.

This Game has MASSIVE potential if the devs know what they're doing.

I would hold off at this point though, as making vehicles is slow, and based on trial and error. That, and the only things you can make end up looking like dune buggies, even blimps.

The UI needs serious work, and remapping controlls is an absolute nightmare.

But besides that, this game is unique and fun. It is aiming for a realitively untouched genre and so far handles it quite well. The tools are simple enough for a beginner, but complex enough for people who want to fine tune things down to the fiftieth decimal and create extreme, realistic things.

I just hope that this does not end up like starbound, which ceased development right after being put up and was left in alpha for a shamefully long time, with only a few fun things to do. If these developers could NOT do that, it would be great.

Unless you cannot resist the idea of making your own space rocket submarine blimp that looks like dune buggy, you might just want to hold off on this one...

First and foremost, it needs to be said that this game is in very early stages of development. Additionally, if you don't enjoy things like geometry, physics, engineering, aerodynamics, etc, this game may not be up your alley.

THAT SAID, I personally find this game extraordinarily brilliant.

There is a learning curve, absolutely, but the complaints that there is no information available to guide you are blatantly false. Granted, it isn't the typical bright and friendly hold-your-hand walkthrough sort of tutorial that lots of full release games have nowadays. People who are capable of reading and following directions will have no trouble, though.

As an avid, lifelong fan of all means of transportation, Homebrew has allowed me to create functional versions of daydream vehicles once confined to the realm of doodles on scratch paper.

There has never been a game quite like this one, and it only stands to improve as time goes on.

i bought this a while back, but i was unsure of whether or not i would like it. My driving factor as to why i was because of the orbs. the orbs limited my creativity because of my incompatance in gaming, but now that they are out of the game i think this can be safely recomended by me.

for the devs if you see this, can you give us an option to keep the seasonal landscape after winter is over?

This game has everything I ever ask of a game: a sense of speed and momentum, incredible player freedom, and a great deal of nonviolent content and challenges. There is enough content here to keep me busy for a long time, and all of it is available right away; I don't have to grind for parts or unlock anything, I can just build, test, tweak, and fly! There are guns too if that's your thing.

Looking forward to all the updates! This game has the ability to be huge.

My initial early access impressions are good, of course as this is early access, the UI (which is going to be improved) needs some work, and the physics, especially for the Air vehicles will need some tweaking. Again, this is Early Access, so everything is readily subject to change.

Definitely worth the money now, due to what this game will become!

If you've not bought it already, why not??!

Do you enjoy building things? Of course you do, why wouldn't you if you were looking at a vehicle creation game.
This, despite all of the mixed reviews is an absolutely wonderful game, despite bugs that plague a portion of the playerbase (Which the devs are actively working on, go them.) I would have to say, for intellectual gamers, and thosw whom are physically minded, e.g anyone who loved lego as a kid, you're going to feel right at home.

It makes me feel like an incompetent engineer / giddy child.
If you like tinkering and goofing off with physics you'll love it.
It reminds me of Banjo Kazooie Nutz n Boltz which is a very good thing.

I've made several videos on it where I'll babble more about why I like it.

Ever had an idea for a great vehicle? Ever wanted to spend hours designing it - tweaking every joint until it was perfect? Ever wanted to feel the satisfaction of the physics engine realizing your genius and completely submitting to this amazing design?

If so, move along. This game is a dreamshatterer - in a way. I have so many ideas for vehicles and I can build them in a few hours, but that is just the beginnng. After it is built, you still have real world physics to deal with. Take KSP, throw in tons more customizations, and of course remove the whole space thing (for now?), and you have this game. ;)

My only complaint is a minor one. The world is really small. I finally built a jet that could get up to 4500km/h, but I hit the end of the world before it reaches its full potential. When this happens, you just pop back up at the garage. It is a minor complaint, because I am sure the world will be vast and much more populated (with challenges - like inside the arena area). And yes, it has sonic booms.

When dealing with Early Access games, it's important to understand you are not getting a 100% complete, polished AAA game the moment you buy it. You buy an early access game because you see past what it currently lacks, you see what it can be. I feel too many reviewers here have forgotten this along the way.

As of 12/23/14, I can honestly say i'm satisfied with buying Homebrew. It's fun, the devs are cool, and updates come when they are needed. Is it super easy? No. Can you get good at it after some hard work and practice? Sure. If you do get this game I encourage you to go to the forums, and join the chat sometime.

Just got it I already know the 1,000+ hours is coming.

DUNT BUY! THIS IS A GAME FUNDED BY GOVERNMENT TO FURTHER THEIR MIND CONTROL RESEARCH! THOSE WHO HAVE PLAYED SPEAK OF THE "Homebrew effect" ONCE YOU START, YOU CANNOT STOP, AND IF YOU ATTEMPT TO YOU GO THROUGH SEVERE WITHDRAWALS; SHAKING, STAYING ON THE GAMES FORUM NON-STOP, COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY ON SAID FORUM, ROCKING BACK AND FORTH IN A CORNER, EATING NUTELLA AND ICE-CREAM WITH DRAGON TEARS ROLLING DOWN CHEEKS, AND DONT FORGET------ *Error; Account terminated, continue on you saw nothing.*

A very fun vehicle building game with multiplayer mechanics and a powerful method of building which can be used to create anything you can think of. There are weapons and enemies to use them against but I don't want to spoil too much. You can obviously fight other players in your vehicles which is good fun, and since the devs have an armour plating system planned, thats gonna get really interesting.

There is a varied map with roads, a swamp, large bodies of water, mountains and sand - so you can test your vehicle offline or with friends on a variety of surfaces/environments. The map hides lots of secrets, I haven't found them all and the community is still trying to figure out a few of the more enigmatic ones.

People seem to be complaining that it is difficult to use, I have to say I wouldn't agree. I have nearly 42 hours on record at the time of writing this plus more before it was on steam. At hour 42+ I'm obviously a much better builder than I was at hour 0, but even at the start the system seemed intuitive and anything I didn't understand was cleared up by tutorials or help from the amazing community and dev support on the website.

It's in alpha yes, and I am apprehensive about buying games in alpha sometimes but not with this one. There are bugs present as with all alphas, but there are no major gamebreakers. There has been regular updates and the devs are literally in constant communication with the players, and I know if I had a pressing issue with the game or needed help with mechanics of the game I'd be able to get it faster than pretty much any of the other games in my library, plus the community are always happy to help on the chat on the homebrew website or the group chat on steam.

Overall a really good sandbox vehicle builder with massive potential that is going in the right direction. I'd reccomend it, just take half an hour to learn the building system at the start using tutorials (like you have to do with all other sandbox building games like KSP etc) and you'll have a blast.

amazing game keep the updates coming i love this game

if you can't figure out the mystery of the pyramid then don't bother.

10/10

a good time waster

it looks like its hard to build stuff but when youfinis the quests first it gives you the basic training very well. Than you can experiment.


I made a plane with no wings and it flew like a drunk duck.
