Description

Junk Architect is a cool 3D builder/puzzle game with realistic physics and visuals. You will complete levels using your logic and physics understanding while enjoying a realistic 3D environment. The game features a storyline where you will progress from living in a junkyard into a celebrated architect.

Features

  • Unique build engine:
    • Objects transform into building parts such as walls, doors and windows
    • Rigidbody physics using Nvidia PhysX
    • A real-time building simulation shown before a part is placed
  • Building materials are found and harvested from the environment and include junk cars, trash bins, wall slabs etc, plus fasteners such as piles, screws, nuts and bolts, and such
  • Assembling buildings obeys logical rules:
    • Building parts have a shape, mass and material
    • Fasteners attach to specific materials, such as ground attachment needs a pile, and welding only joins metal to metal
    • Each part needs to be attached with at least fastener but otherwise you can be cheap with them if you like
    • Fasteners have a torque durability and will give in if the stress grows too big
  • The game gives you full control over how to use the parts and fasteners to have a go at finishing the requirements
  • Realistic 3D environment with full body awareness and environmental effects
  • Storyline where you will progress from living in a junkyard (because your home has crashed) into a celebrated architect
  • Off-game soundtrack featuring thematic pieces by Jaakko Saaristo
