Hey everyone, We thought it would be a good time to give you a glimpse of what Blockremental actually feels like to play. So we’ve put together a short video that shows the first few minutes of gameplay. A quick dive into the atmosphere, the flow, and how the adventure begins. Meanwhile, we’ve also been running a few experiments behind the scenes. Some of the things we’ve been playing around with include: 🌍 A larger world, to give exploration even more room to breathe. 🏜️🏔️ New biomes, like desert and mountain, to break up the scenery. 🌋 An underground lava cave, which might just end up being home to a pretty big threat… These are still very much in the testing phase, but we thought it’d be fun to share a peek at what’s cooking. Thanks so much for following the project. Your feedback and support really keep us going 🙌 And don't hesitate to join our Discord!

Hello Children of Mikia,🧱 Blockremental joins the Steam Neo Fest today with the release of its very first playable demo!It’s an important milestone for us: you can now experience the game’s early mechanics, feel its pacing, its gameplay loop… and hopefully walk away with just as much curiosity as we had while developing it.In Blockremental, you take control of a platform left behind by the goddess Mikia, capable of drilling through the many layers of a mysterious island.Your mission: descend.But this is no ordinary underground world. An ancient Dragon, sealed deep beneath the surface, has been watching for centuries… and now sends its golems to slow you down.It’s up to you to build, automate, defend your base, and find a way to keep going, even as the pressure grows stronger with each new level.Blockremental is a solo project developed by Benja, a member of the iolaCorp team. It’s powered by BoxelScape, our in-house plugin built to create large-scale, dynamic, cube-based worlds in Unreal Engine.It also marks the first entry in Beldia, an original universe in the making — one that will eventually host multiple stories, games, and experiences.This demo is your very first gateway.Thank you to everyone who takes the time to try it out. Your feedback will be incredibly valuable, whether it’s about gameplay, tech, or just how the game feels to you.See you soon in the depths of Beldia. The Blockremental Team
