Hey all, we've got a huge update to talk about today. Here's the short version:

We've greatly expanded the scope of the game, and added an element of free-roaming space exploration. This takes the form of what we're calling "exploration zones". You can try out a demo with this feature TODAY.

Here's what this will look like in-game: You'll choose your path through a more expansive galaxy map (each of the purple dots here is an exploration zone:


And then each area will be uniquely generated zone, with its own enemies, special events, friendly stations and ships, and lots of resources to collect.


Each zone has an exit portal, and you'll need an Ion Core to make a jump. These are a scarce resource, so you'll need to carefully plan your path through the map and watch for opportunities to collect more.



There are also planets on the galaxy map, each containing to a more traditional "on rails" levels that you're already familiar with:


We couldn't be more excited about this mix of free-roaming exploration and "trench run" style gameplay, and we're looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

These exploration zones (like the rest of the game) are still in heavy development, but you can play the demo TODAY to get a sense of how the game will play. In the final version of the game, these zones will have more varieties of enemies, special events/quests, and lots more beautiful space scenery to fly around in.

Other developments:
The game also has a new "scrap" resource, which you can spend at "scrapper" ships that appear along your path.

You probably noticed the ship and the graphics have undergone a big upgrade!

We've been working with our artist Jin to come up with some new enemy and boss concepts - some of these will start to appear in the game soon.


We've also been working with the artist Spacegooose on imagining what the game could look like in a more hidef, graphic novel style. Check out this concept:


FAQ:
Q: Why the design change?
A: To put it simply - the game wasn't living up to our idea of what a procedurally-generated roguelike shooter could be. We love space games, and this was an opportunity to make something that felt more expansive and dynamic.

Q: Is the game still an "On-rails shooter?"
A: The game will still have all of the "on rails" levels we had planned from the start - it just has exploration zones now too.

Q: Wait I thought you were making a Starfox homage? This looks pretty different from Starfox!
A: Believe it or not, it was never our goal to make a game that was derivative of Starfox. We love that game, but we're drawing inspiration from a lot of other sources as well! We're confident that fans of Starfox will love this new direction as well.

Q: Can I try it out?
A: Yes! we're making a demo available today, and through the end of the Steam Fest next week. Just visit the game's home page in the store. Give it a try, and use the feedback form in the game to let us know what you think!

Let's have a look at the first new World at War Behind Enemy Lines card!


We kick off the spoiler season in honor of the Bryansk Irregulars, which played a significant role in the war efforts of the Soviet Union against the German troops towards their way to Moscow.



The Bryansk region is known for its dense woodland, which formed an excellent natural defense; it gave the partisans protection during their raids and made it easy for them to hide their movements and bases.

It is believed that around 60,000 Soviet partisans were operating in and around Bryansk during WWII, and by 1942 they effectively held an area of 14,000 square km.

The partisans often fought alongside other Red Army forces in battles. Still, their main goal was to operate behind the enemy lines, interrupt supply lines and communications, or gather intelligence.

Partisan units in Bryansk were supplied mainly by air and had at least three operative airstrips under their control, and several partisan brigades operated their own aircraft.

Stay tuned for more as we approach this World at War update on February 24th. There are card reveals now every day!


If you want to become a bit creative and reveal your first impression on Behind Enemy Lines, we have something experimental for you.



Simply use the following comic strip draft and fill in the blank spaces. Keep it modest, though, please :) Feedback determines if we can do more of this.



During the German occupation of France the French resistance groups developed an “underground railroad” system that was used to smuggle downed Allied airmen to the front lines or back to Britain. Later this same underground system was used to send messages between the resistance groups and Allied command.

It also came to use during Operation Jedburgh in 1944 where Allied special operatives used the underground network to reach the groups and towns in France where they were to operate. The mission was to assist Allied forces in the upcoming invasion with sabotage, guerrilla warfare or by leading the resistance forces against the Germans.


The 1er Bataillon de Fusiliers Marins Commandos, alias Commandos Kieffer, was a battalion sized commando unit that was formed in 1942 by the Free French Navy.

The battalion was split into three troops, designated 1,8 and 9. Members of Troop 1 took part in the Operation Jubilee, or the Dieppe Raid in 1942, and that same year they participated in a night raid on a bridge at Plouézec in France. In February 1944 they participated in the raid on the beach of Wasssenaar in the Netherlands, which was the launch site of the German V-2 rockets.

On 6 June 1944, D-Day, the battalion participated in the Normandy landings and disembarked on Sword Beach, and with No.4 Commando they supported the landings of the British 3rd Infantry Division. Despite heavy losses they managed to capture a 50 mm AT gun and a fortified artillery position. That same day the 1er Marins linked up with the British 6th Airborne Division at Pegasus Bridge (aka Bénouville Bridge) where more fighting took place. By the evening of 6 June the battalion had lost 25% of its men (27 KIA and many wounded), but they managed to hold their position. For the next couple of months Commandos Keiffer fought in Normandy. n November 1944 they took part in the Allied landings on the island of Walcheren in the Netherlands where the city of Flessingue was captured.

After WWII the unit was returned to French control and is still serving as part of the Naval Commandos of the French Navy.


The Westland Lysander was a British-made cooperation and liaison aircraft that came into service in 1938 and was used by RAF and Allied air forces during WWII. The aircraft was mainly used for artillery spotting or message and supply drops, but was withdrawn from combat duties after the Battle of France due to high losses inflicted by German fighters.

For the remainder of the war the Lysander served mainly in liaison and air-sea rescue roles. The aircraft was used to maintain contact with the French Resistance, for supply drops, delivering and retrieving agents or to rescue downed pilots that were sheltered in France. Several Lysander aircraft were used by the No. 309 Polish Fighter-Reconnaissance Squadron, but from 1942 the squadron started to transition to Mustangs.

A total 1,786 Westland Lysander’s were built, including a few variants.


Operation Monastyr (e. Operation Monastery) was a Soviet intelligence operation that lasted from 1941 to 1944 and involved using a “radio game” which was standard technique in radio counterintelligence at the time.

The operation was conducted by NKVD agents and the goal was to use Soviet moles to relay misinformation to the "Abwehr", the German military intelligence.

The operation was considered a great success, it resulted in the capture of several German agents and collaborators. However, one of its major contributions was disinformation about major Soviet offensive operations near the town of Rzhev, which the Germans took at face value. This was partly true, but also rendered the Germans blind to the much more important Operation Uranus, the major Soviet offensive at Stalingrad.

Hi everyone 👋

We wanted to first and foremost thank you for the support towards our game and let you know that a new update has just been released! See below for the full release notes! Your patience, understanding, and enthusiasm towards the game has been the motivation to keep us going. We will be releasing a Titan Forge Dragonborn Fighter Model as a FREE gift to say thank you for your patience and support.



We are just a small team of indie developers, and the reaction to Model Builder has positively blown us away! We never expected such a warm response and community so quickly.

It’s been a crazy launch period! The team has worked around the clock, with many long days and nights spent preparing fixes and making the game as great as it should be. We’ve drunk a lot of energy drinks, slept in the office, and the pile of shame contained from the pizza boxes kept growing… but IT WAS WORTH IT!


First night in the office


Day after the premiere!

This is just the start for Model Builder. We have so many big plans! From free content updates, DLCs, new tools, and even new features. We are even looking to partner with well-loved brands and games to offer unique content that will expand and enrich the game, too. All of this is led by you, our wonderful community and your invaluable feedback.

Our goal is to bring the joys of model building to as many people as possible, and make the game as accessible to all. We have released 6 hotfixes so far to address the top priority issues reported by players. The game should also perform much better on lower end devices now.

We have also introduced a Beginners Guide, added auto save functions, removed the Carpet Monster bug and created a ‘known issues’ board on Discord that will be updated regularly. We are also looking at improving the in-game tutorial to break down even more barriers to the game.


Here’s another tasty update filled with fixes, updates, and quality of life improvements.

As mentioned above, we have also implemented the Dragonborn FREE GIFT to thank you for your patience with us during the launch period.

• Added FREE Gift - Dragonborn Figurine
  
• Fixed Carpet Monster Bug (missing parts are now restored when opening the projects)
  
• Story models are shown as “unlockable” in the Sandbox Mode interface
  
• Autosave is now created when changing game mode
  
• Performance optimizations for Unit-01 Gunbot model
  
• Fixed black screen on startup for some devices
  
• Fixed graphics settings not loading correctly, resulting in poor performance on game start
  
• Assembly Tool now works properly on models that do not have sprues
  
• Fixed element masking in the Career Mode
  
• Lack of upgrade to masking tape now correctly disables the "Mask Element" button in the Masking Tape inspector
  
• Fixed lightmaps & some texture artifacts
  
• Fixed missing parts in “Alternative Tank” quest

As lifelong model building enthusiasts ourselves, we know just how important it is to create an experience that is not only true to real life model building, but one that is also fun and creative for those of all skill levels. It is sometimes hard to explain what Model Builder is to others, the game isn’t here to replace real life modeling, but more so to be an enjoyable experience for real life builders of all skill levels and for those who are looking to get into the hobby.

Have any thoughts or suggestions for the game? Let us know on our social media or Discord! We are always active and listening. Even if we don’t respond to every comment, just know that your voice is heard and matters.

Thank you again. We can’t wait to share what is next for Model Builder.

Hello, folks!
This Friday we’re going to tell you about the fight with adjutant Mirina. This is quite an amusing fight which is considerably different from the others. Let’s look at how it works in detail.




The first thing to mention is that there are no commanders in this battle. That’s why the one who kills all the enemy's units first is the winner. In the right upper corner there is a counter which shows how many units are still alive.

The next important condition is the central bodrer of the field. Neither your nor opponent’s characters can cross it. As soon as we summon a character and equip him, he rushes at once to the border on the other side of which enemy’s fighters line up.



The fight with Mirina can remind the duel—the fighters also stand in line and exchange blows. But you can see considerable differences.



Summoned fighters can change lines—as in a usual fight. Besides, you can organize their support if you place an archer, a spearman, a monk, a warlock or any unit you consider necessary.




Mirina’s deck consists of strong melee characters and the ones who are good at support. Cards from the second deck are also quite powerful, but if you find a proper tactic. you will win easily. But things are not so simple in challenger battles.




To begin with, in the beginning of the challenger battle there is a guardian on the battlefield. There is a monk behind. Thus, you need to destroy not ten but twelve of the enemy's characters.



The guardian is equipped with the Veteran’s ring. It means that every turn his attack will increase in two points.

On both sides of the scene there are walls. On the one hand, it’s a limitation—now a player has considerably less space for maneuvers. On the other hand, there are a couple of interesting variants for how to turn this limitation into your advantage.



The most interesting thing in this battle, though, is the condition for the perfect victory. Your task is to win using not more than three characters. And it’s not that easy!






The first hard question we faced was the balance of the cards. As it was mentioned before, Mirina summons only melee fighters, and we were thinking if we should make the same condition for the player. But we decided that the freedom from limitations opens up a lot of variants for elegant victory.



The next question was how we can make the fight harder. We wanted to place a vivacious but not unkillable character which will be pretty dangerous for the player’s units. That’s how we came up with the bundle of the Guardian and the Monk. The Guardian has quite a big amount of health points, and has protection from the objects that are put on him. A low attack is compensated with the Veteran’s ring, step by step into a real problem. The monk behind is always ready to heal his comrade if you wound him.



We hope that you will like this fight as well. Download our demo, share your impressions in comments and press the follow button on our page. And don’t forget to add your game into your wishlist.
