The current beta

The city is the weapon

No campaign promises disguised as features. These are the systems in BUILD 53, playable now behind the beta gate.

Mine it

Roads, walls, trees and ground are material. Take the city apart, piece by piece, and carry the useful bits home.

Harvestable voxel world

Build it

Craft tools, raise walls, hide a stash and defend a lair. Police can burn the place if you lead trouble through the door.

Construction · crafting · lairs

Take it

Rob shops, steal cars, build heat and bank score only when you make it back alive. The escape is the job.

Crime · cars · police · score

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. Multiplayer is lightweight room play—not a persistent server, account system or cloud world.

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

I started with one blocky city. I would like to end up with a world that has geography, history, named lives and a long memory for whatever players do to it. This has escalated in a perfectly sensible way.

A roadmap is direction, not a hostage note. Only “Now” describes BUILD 53.
