Adult block criminals speed through a neon city in an absurd sports car while a police helicopter gives chase

Closed beta · 70

Cinematic concept art · Authored from our 3D models

Postcards from poor decisions

Original Hard Block Life poster art built from the project’s own characters, vehicles, equipment, wildlife and architecture. It is cinematic artwork—not a gameplay screenshot.

Real gameplay is directly below the damage report →

An adult block-city nightlife character giving two peace signs from the hood of a sports car under a police searchlight — **Peace & quiet**One of these is missing.

A block-built muscle car chased across a wet neon intersection by a police cruiser and helicopter — **Five stars, zero plan**The helicopter also has opinions.

Adult block criminals and police exchanging gunfire outside a bank beside a faceted vehicle explosion — **Reasonable withdrawal**Banking remains interpretive.

A wooden block lair burning at night as an adult firefighter and fire engine arrive — **Home improvement**The fire system had notes.

An adult block construction worker raising a crooked house beside an ambitious unfinished city tower — **Zoning meeting**Attendance: one.

An adult block hunter tracking a deer in a foggy forest while a boar watches from behind — **Field research**The boar is peer-reviewing.

The current beta

The city is the weapon

No campaign promises disguised as features. These are the systems in BUILD 70, playable now behind the beta gate.

Mine it

Roads, walls, trees and ground are material. Read the strata, prospect coherent veins and open routes through connected caverns beneath the city.

Voxel world · caverns · prospecting

Build it

Raise a lair, organise real storage, enter lower-storey rooms and take the stairs to a roof. Validated room-world edits survive reconnects.

Construction · interiors · persistent worlds

Take it

Rob neighborhood shops for dirty cash, steal cars with physical weight and decide when to launder the take. Sites remember repeat work; casualties bring ambulances.

Crime · economy · police · emergency response

● BUILD 70 · Live now

The crowd got simpler. The hits got louder.

BUILD 70 replaces ordinary pedestrians with tiny block-built civilians whose six reactions remain readable at phone size. Lethal precision and close-shotgun hits can remove the limb they struck, while axe, pickaxe and shovel use distinct physical arcs in your hands and on nearby players.

Simple block-built crowds
Six readable civilian reactions
Detachable terminal hit regions
Physical tool arcs in first and third person

Online rooms, live now

2–8 delinquents

Start the same seeded city, share edits and player state, then cooperate or settle it with a scoreboard. Validated room-world block edits now persist on a dedicated shard; live player presence and solo browser saves remain separate.

The beta access code and the in-game room code do different jobs. Do not send your beta code in chat.

Captured in the real build

No imitation UI

These ten-second, silent loops were recorded from real Hard Block Life gameplay—no generated art, rebuilt interface or imitation UI.

The public roadmap · no suspiciously precise dates

Unfortunately, I have plans

BUILD 70 carries persistent worlds, dirty-cash consequences, ambulance response, enterable rooms, authored storefronts and weapons, simple block civilians, physical tool arcs, staged mining cracks, miniature pickups and installed Windows, Mac and Arch builds. Planned work remains visibly separate.
