- Autocraft 1.0 Released - 20 September 2017
I have finally released Autocraft out of early access! Along with updating it to fix a few UI issues and reported errors So about Autocraft being on Early Access for the past two and a half years... I understand that many players thought the game was abandoned - like other early access titles that came out with a lot of promises, then failed to meet them and gave up. This didn't happen with Autocraft - the game has been complete for a year. Everything we advertised and originally planned on the game having was finished. The reason we didn't release out of early access is because I still wanted to add more (which was a giant mistake, I should have released out of early access a while ago then updated after). I still had more ideas for new Autocraft features, but I wanted to work on other projects before doing them. Since there is the expectation that Early Access titles need to get const…

- Autocraft Update 0.9 - Unity5 / New Physics / UI - 7 April 2016
After a long rough road - we have finally updated Autocraft to Unity5, and are now close to release! Big changes: - New wheel physics: a lot more stable, dynamic. Also just faster and more fun. Let us know if any of your creations have problems with the new wheels! - Completely new UI graphics - New shaders / effects - Impact/crash sounds - A LOT of adjustments to the challenge levels. Some taken out based on changes to the physics, others just because people didn't like them - and changed them to new flying challenges / other new stuff - Performance increases (especially during crashes and explosions) - New camera system - now collides with the ground, follows creations better (depending on if they are moving on wheels, or in air with a plane tail) To get an idea of why this update too so long, we went into detail here. But basically we had a lot of trouble with the change to Unity4 to…

- Update 7! With workshop support, completely new UI - 28 February 2015
Update 7 is now live! Biggest change we've made is adding Steam workshop support. You can now save to workshop directly from any of the Sandbox levels. http://steamcommunity.com/app/287220/workshop/ We've completely redone the UI. Way better menus, load / save screens, inventory, etc - and a new help screen Besides the UI and Steam interpretation, we've been changing a lot of the game's engine to prepare it for our future plans. We are hoping our next update will include online support, which is still in development. Other changes include: - After reading community feedback, we decided to open up all Sandbox items. No unlocking process anymore - A number of avatar mode fixes, now default in Sandbox. Now same scale as before. Character now goes into ragdoll for crash, then gets up on hitting Enter - 'Featured' offline creations in Sandbox mode, replacing the old online system - 10 new pa…

- Update 6 - 16 December 2014
Very large update! We'll be making more frequent smaller updates going forward. We've added 13 new challenge levels (for a total of 50), and now split the single player challenges into separate 'solar systems'. So if you get stuck in a particularly hard one, you can go to another solar system to pass it's challenges. The challenges selection should also now be a lot easier to navigate. Largest Sandbox change is in addition to a new level, there is now 'Avatar' third person mode. In Avatar mode you can run around the level as the spaceman character, and start creating and piloting your creation where ever you want. This is also how we see possible future multiplayer game modes working. Right now the third person Spaceman is just the regular model. Flight physics! We now added proper aerodynamic flight physics. To use them add 'Wing' entities, then a tail to control the wings. We've uploa…
