Can anyone tell me if the ever added an option to turn bloom off?
Only thing stopping me from playing.
This complaint is definitely on our radar, like the other commenter said the "Improved Post-Processing" node in the roadmap encompasses that :)

Is it weird they're announcing the roadmap on tiktok instead of the platform that is literally selling the game. You know, Steam?
Hey, just wanted to clarify, this post on TikTok/YouTube is just a teaser for the upcoming roadmap that releases tomorrow (we also posted it on discord).
The Roadmap itself will appear on all major platforms, including Steam, our website, and many news outlets :)
A large chunk of the people who entered our building contest are experienced builders from other games, like Valheim, Minecraft, etc. They were all bad at building at one point too :) They got better with practice and time, taking inspiration and learning from others.
Like with any artform nobody is good at it the moment they pick it up, it takes practice and patience. Anyone can get good at building eventually, if it's something you really want to do <3
I love how "simple" and yet detailed it is, very beautiful build. Great job <3
Love all the little details, great job :)
Man, I am not envious of the judges that will have to pick winners for this contest... There's way too many builds that have completely blown me away 😍

Since the build competition announcement, I worked tirelessly on this thing to get it in an acceptable place before the deadline. I uploaded my video tour last night, thankfully. I struggled to get a good screenshot, however. Since there's no free cam mode in the game, my character's head was always in the way.
Remembering a post on Reddit about a free cam screenshot-focused cheat table, I looked into that this morning. It seemed to work well enough, allowing me to grab these few screenshots (though so much more isn't captured....) However, something about the sun's orientation was starting to bug out. So I turned it off and logged out.
When I logged back in, I was met with a "your data is corrupted" prompt. In a panic, I logged in but thankfully found everything seemed fine. I logged back out and back in one more time some time later and was greeted with the same prompt. Clicke...
Hey there, please head to our troubleshooting channel on our discord and reach out, there might still possibly be a way to salvage things.
From what you've said it's hard to theorize what might have happened, but there are two places where builds get saved, locally and in Steam Cloud save. Perhaps those settings switched somehow and it got saved somewhere else? We might still be able to salvage it. But it will be easier to troubleshoot on Discord where people can ask questions live.
Hoooly! One of the most creative builds I've seen so far, fantastic job!
Very creative! I'm a sucker for these kind of "small and cozy" builds with lots of little details. Also I'll ask the team about the hitbox issue, I'm not sure if that's a technical requirement or not, or if we might be able to adjust it.
I love how "simple" your builds are, they don't even look like player housing but like an actual part of the game world. Fantastic job as always <3
Thank you for looking.
This is a 5 hour YouTube live build yesterday

You should definitely enter our build contest if you haven't already! This build is beautiful I'm sure people would love it :) https://twitter.com/KeenGamesStudio/status/1763640452585042097
Can’t wait! Thank you for creating such a marvellous game!!
Thank you! ❤️
Unrelated, is there a rough roadmap out yet? I'm loving what we've got, but I'd be interested to know roughly what the plan is going forward.
Not quite yet, but very soon! We are finalizing things internally :)
We have more roadmap info coming out very soon as well, just finalizing some things internally. So stay tuned 🙏
Oh wow, it's one thing to make a beautiful build, but to make it so compact like this takes serious talent! Amazing job, can't wait to see what else you make <3
Thank you for the kind words! We still have a lot more coming so stay tuned ;)
This is completely insane! I don't even want to think about how long this took... Great job!
I feel like allowing friends to help is going to hinder a lot of the solo builders. I don't want to see the biggest builds being picked over the smaller ones due to pure grandeur.
There's not really any good way for us to confirm whether or not somebody built something solo or not. So trying to regulate this didn't make much sense, it would be too easy to cheat. But this is why we only give out the prizes and allow entries from one contestant, to hopefully somewhat de-incentivize large groups trying to work on a build and split the prize.
I think they should specify their definition of “one build”. Is it one unit = one house or can it be a village?
Really just one cohesive idea/game world. Can be a city if you want, or a sculpture, house, whatever! It's pretty vague and open ended for a reason, we want people to get creative :)
So, pre-existing builds are allowed? There are an awful lot of people who used spawned in resources to make some massive and gorgeous builds already. I mean, I don't have a chance in any way, but I hope they take that into consideration for others who just are starting since the announcement.
Correct, main reason being that there's not really any good way for us to validate that a build was made in X timeframe. A rule like that would only hurt legitimate contestants who play by the rules, while giving bad actors the ability to lie and cheat using old builds. So instead we decided to make it more open ended.
