Homebrew - Patent Unknown

Abandonware

While it's sad the devs haven't been able to put out an update to this in so long, it still hits a spot other vehicle building games just haven't been able to hit for me. If you're happy to accept it as it is rather than expecting a super polished experience (which is a rare occurrence with this kind of game to begin with) I'd definitely still recommend it. Personally, I think the main area it suffers is that they put out an overhaul to the vehicle building right before development stopped, not giving much time for the new system to be refined. It would've been nice if the old version was made available through Steam once they realised they weren't going to be able to work on the new system.

The game locks you into a Time Delayed Tutorial system, you have to do the training before your allowed to play the game. That is just work, I wanted to figure it out myself, but with no way to skip the tutorial I just gave up. I am not willing to waste an hour of my life to sit through 50 slides on how to play a game I just wanted to get into. Returned the game for a refund.

I have a good joke for you guys. What's more irritating than an abandoned open-world engineering game?

very cool, god building system and logic stuff, works well on my laptop even if it stops responding sometimes in the builder

This game holds a special place in my heart. I remember as a kid seeing one of the earliest forms of this game from the youtuber Shake Bake. I was blown away by the concept and stuck with it on and off throughout the years. It was the first game that really challenged me to work out how to solve an engineering problem to achieve a goal I set for myself. It pains me that looking at steamdb I am one of only 2 players to log into this game in the last couple days. The community this game held was so great, always willing to help others and loving to see other people's inventions. I hope either this game or a new one grows a nice little community again and sparks that same sense of invention like this did all those years ago.
