What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We've been working on Buildanauts for almost three years, now we are ready to share our game with the Steam community. Through Early Access we can gather community feedback and ideas to help us finish development.

Our team is excited to work directly with you and the rest of the community!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“During Early Access, our plan is to polish and add new features and content for the players. When the Steam community and our team feel the game is ready, we will transition Buildanauts to Full Release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In addition to the items already in our development plan, we expect the Early Access version of Buildanauts to undergo changes based on the feedback from the Steam community.

Here are some ideas we're considering, in no particular order:

  • Interactive construction vehicles
  • More player customization options
  • More jobs
  • More NPC vehicles
  • Animals in the world
  • Additional textures for structures
  • Sandbox mode
  • Polished user interface and controls
  • Gamepad support
  • More supported languages

And other finishing touches from the community”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Buildanauts provides a strong content base in a procedurally generated world, where you are only limited by your creativity.

Our game supports Steam Trading Cards, Steam Achievements, and Steam Workshop.

Most features are available and ready for you to test drive. Buckle-up, some things are still undergoing development and will receive changes during Early Access. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to your feedback.

Please let us know if you have any questions, we are here to help.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“A decision on final pricing for Buildanauts will be made during the Early Access period, and may change depending on the features and content added to the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We feel the Steam community is an integral part of the development for Buildanauts. We plan to announce the features and changes in our development plan to keep an open dialog with you and the community. Suggestions from everyone will be highly considered during team meetings as we value your input on the development of the game.”

About This Game

Build a town from the ground up in this open-world construction simulator.
