BUILT is a first person town survival game focusing on building rather than resource gathering. It’s early days and I only have weekends to really work on this but it’d be nice to get some feedback on the concept and the little bit of work that’s already been done.

Story
You are washed ashore after being shipwrecked with little hope of return to your home town… you must establish a new home on this strange island. You must decide whether you move inland and risk being attacked my various creatures or even a frontal assault from The Empire or build on the shore and be an easy target for raiders.
Gameplay
Initially you must gather/mine resources so you can start construction of your first home, chopping down trees, collecting stone, grass for thatching etc.
Materials can later be crafted into finer materials that are stronger and provide more resouces to let you build bigger buildings.
Eventually you’ll have enough resources to start building your town in the hopes of attracting villagers who will gather, refine and fight for their town.
If you get this far… you’ll be able to construct your ship and venture forth to the other islands to explore new towns, gather new resources or kill raiders.
I’ll be adding a few physics construction materials such as ropes, hinges and springs which will have certain uses for pulley systems, traps, doors etc.
The biggest physics item will be the ship building mechanic that will take any construction you create and figure out what type buoyancy the object has. This will be a constant simulation so destroying the ship will alter the buoyancy and allow ships to be sunk.
