Aka Lego, the video game. Inspired by Phil Fish's vision for fez "I wanted to build a happy place to be". Fez was adorable, however the game itself was incredibly hostile due to it's difficulty. Similarly block building games tend to be massive and overwhelming for new players. The challenge I've set for myself is to create a place you can drop into at any time and not be overwhelmed. The zen of Truck Simulator meets the creativity of Minecraft.

There are way too many systems to build for a single jam. But if things go well I'll have a decent tech demo by the end of the jam. Otherwise my computer just might be on fire.

    A more interactable version, even with minecraft level detail, would be glorious. Dono if that's what you had in mind at all but I thought it's a fun tool to play with anyways

    Okay Jam over: Managed to get one of the core mechanics implemented - building structures according to evolving plans. Works okay enough, but still not really sure if it's worth the effort to keep trucking. Didn't even get anywhere near exploring the world and collecting the "broken pieces" giving way to different colours blocks and such.
