I have played quite a few open-world construction simulators throughout the years. But not that many has been like a combination of “MySims”, “Bob the builder” and “Animal Crossing”.

But that´s exactly who TouchTiltGames “Buildanauts” feels (and looks) imo. And even though i played a very early version of “Buildanauts” (the pre-alpha v0.1.1 to be exact), i still saw a lot of potential in the game.

And thanks to awesome community at Steam, “Buildanauts” got greenlit on Steam Greenlight not so long ago. So that means that “Buildanauts” will be available in the Steam Store (early access) sometime in the near future.

But for now, please enjoy our pre-alpha gameplay video =)

About Buildanauts:
In BUILDANAUTS, you’re the foreman, the city planner, and the mayor of the town of your dreams. Plan your town, then bring it to life with the help of your construction crew. Build a town that your townsfolk, the Buildanites, will be proud to call home!
