Tulossa pian Early Accessiin

Pelin kehittäjät julkaisevat sen kehitysvaiheessa ja jatkavat työstämistä pelaajien palautteen pohjalta.

Huomaa: Early Access -pelit ovat keskeneräisiä ja saattavat vielä muuttua. Jos et halua pelata peliä sen tämänhetkisessä tilassa, odota ja tarkista peli myöhemmin uudelleen. Lue lisää

Kehittäjien kertomaa:

Miksi Early Access?

I will use Early Access so players can shape the game while it is still growing. This project is built around experimentation and iteration, so I will learn more from real players than I ever could alone. I will use Early Access to improve the balance, pacing, and clarity of the game as people actually play it.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

I currently plan for Early Access to run about 6 to 12 months. I will keep updating throughout that period and adjust based on how development and feedback progress.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

In the full version, I plan to expand content and improve quality across the board. That includes more campaign scope, more advanced design possibilities, better presentation, and more refinement of core mechanics based on Early Access feedback.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The Early Access version is fully playable and already includes the core gameplay loop of designing, simulating, detonating, and iterating. It includes sandbox play, campaign directives, multiple tools and materials, telemetry systems, and saved setups. I will continue improving stability, balance, and content depth over time.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Yes. I plan to start with an introductory Early Access price and raise it gradually as major updates and content milestones are delivered. The full release is planned to be priced higher than Early Access.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

I will use Discord as my main development feedback channel because I can talk to players there every day. I will watch what people build, listen to where they get stuck, and use that to prioritize fixes and updates. I will also use Steam Discussions, but Discord will be where most day to day iteration happens.

Tietoa pelistä

NUCLEAR DESIGN BUREAU is a hardcore sandbox engineering game where you design and test nuclear devices.

You are the Chief Engineer of a secret Soviet design bureau. The State gives you a target and a warehouse full of dangerous materials. In some directives, your available materials are limited. Your task is simple: build a device that gets the job done.

HOW IT WORKS

- Receive Directive: Read technical mission requirements and constraints, including material limits in specific directives.

- Design: Paint materials directly onto the blueprint grid. Build your primary, casing, and supporting systems.

- Simulate: Hit the red button, run full detonation physics in real time, and watch the blast in the detonation viewer.

- Refine: If it fizzles, fails, or wastes material, iterate and improve.

CORE FEATURES

- Physics-Driven Simulation: Shockwaves, heat, radiation, and chain-reaction behavior are modeled in real time.

- Detonation Viewer: Observe detonations as they unfold, with live visual feedback on blast behavior.

- Campaign Directives: Structured mission progression with technical goals and constraints.

- Sandbox Mode: Unlimited experimentation with full design freedom.

- Iterative Engineering Loop: Build, test, diagnose, and optimize.

EARLY ACCESS STATUS (CURRENT BUILD)

The current Early Access build is fully playable and includes the core gameplay loop:

- Design -> Simulate -> Refine

- Sandbox mode

- Campaign directives

- Save/load systems with ongoing stability improvements

This is an active development build. Expect balance changes, physics upgrades, and campaign iteration during Early Access.

EARLY ACCESS ROADMAP (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

Physics and Simulation

- More realistic detonation viewer (better shockwaves, 3D-style presentation, damage radius + thermal radiation modeling, destructible buildings/targets)

- Smaller grid mode for higher realism

- Improved compression physics

- Levitated pit physics

- Fission boosting with D-T gas

Campaign and Content

- Rebuild and expand campaign around updated grid, physics, and destruction systems

- Many more directives/missions

- Voiced campaign

- Additional bomb concepts (high-radiation designs, clean bombs, neutron bombs)

- More advanced materials

Presentation and Audio

- More music tracks

Community and Meta

- Public leaderboard

DEVELOPMENT APPROACH

Early Access is where this game gets shaped in public. Player feedback will guide balancing, campaign pacing, clarity, and polish as we move toward full release.

"The atom is not a soldier, Comrade. It is a force of nature. We merely tell it where to go."

Aikuissisällön kuvaus

Kehittäjät ovat kuvailleet sisältöä seuraavasti:

This game depicts the design and testing of nuclear weapons. While there is no graphic violence against humans, the themes of nuclear proliferation and mass destruction are treated with a serious tone appropriate for a mature audience.
