UpDate #3: Prison Map and DESTRUCTION!

We might have teased our next map here and there. So far, we weren't quite at a point to show you pictures, yet. However, today is the day - time for letting you guys and gals know about our progress!



The UpBreakers behind barred windows - how could it have come to this? Whatever they did (or didn't do) the objective now is to get out of this fustercluck and back to their dayjobs. Contrary to the houses they normally visit, there are no open doors in the pen so the UpBreakers have to do what they do best: wreak chaos and destruction!

The very highly sophisticated and complex engine behind the acronym D.A.S.H. (Destroy Any Structure Handling system) was conceived by our mastermind coder and will be implemented with the next huge content update.
Its sole function: MORE destruction, MORE chaos, MORE fun fun fun!



You can destroy walls in the game already! But right now this feature is limited to certain walls - the level designer has spoken and so it was. The new update will give you much more freedom to choose your own crazy ways. Basically, you could take down the whole map and never deliver a single box. Won't bring you any points, but you know: it's possible.

We really want to make the D.A.S.H. known - the D.A.S.H. has to be worshiped - the D.A.S.H. must be obeyed! So, in the prison map, there is no getting around the D.A.S.H. as there are no paths leading directly to the BOXVAC-4000, no open doors and no windows to simply jump through. Use the D.A.S.H. wisely for it will reward you. With great D.A.S.H. comes great destructibilty. Become one with the D.A.S.H. to finally - and in a deepened voice - say "I'm D.A.S.H.MAN".

We're still working on the map. There are assets yet to be forged, bytes to be coded and lights to be built. However, we feel, we're almost there. And to those of you who don't want to wait that long: We still have open spots in our closed beta (sounds contradictory, I know) and you can apply for it by simply heading over to our Discord and reading more about it in the #announcements channel.



May the D.A.S.H. be with you.

Get the Artbook: Beauties & Brainfarts

We planned this for quite a while and today it's finally here: The UpBreakers Artbook!

Since before we even started development in late 2017 we collected quite a number of sketches, artworks, assets and visual concepts. Putting them together and walking down memory lane has been a lot of fun!

• 25 pages of visuals (sketches, artworks, concepts)
  
• Anecdotes of the design and thought processes
  
• Insight into the visual development
  
• Much blood, sweat and tears of the developers

We hope, you'll enjoy the Artbook and look forward to your feedback!

Since Steam doesn't offer an easy way to make DLC files accessibe from your game collection, after you bought the DLC, you'll most likely find it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\UpBreakers\Artbook - Beauties and Brainfarts.
