Brickadia Official Updates

Leon

(ignore six pinging too early)

The issue has been resolved! You can now launch games again.

Leon

@everyone Got two things for you today! A patch was just deployed on Steam that adds a couple new things and fixes many of the common issues you've reported.

We've also put up the feedback survey for the demo now, please fill it out if you have a few moments: https://forms.gle/g43Xd36ChvhaRdjz9

We'll be giving away five game keys for the Early Access release to randomly selected people who finish the survey. It will remain open until the end of the Next Fest and you can edit your responses at any time.

Read on for the changelog of the patch:

Worlds - Added a world showcasing board games made with a lot of wires - Added a small world showing you how to use logic gates - Added two more small worlds - Updated office world

Improvement - Wheel joints now automatically orient correctly when connected to engine - Flipping your vehicle no longer puts your camera in the ground - Improved performance of physics sound a bit - Added UI hint for how to enter/exit the seats - Added button to wishlist the game - Grabbing objects is less overpowered - Clamped all user inputs going into physics to reduce crashes - Disabled point light shadows on shadow quality levels below ultra to improve performance - Can now get into vehicle seats while in third person - Can now click buttons with free cursor while in third person

Bugs - Fixed parkour challenge being impossible due to incorrectly moving platforms - Fixed timer and edge detect gates not saving correctly - Fixed camera breaking when other players enter/exit the same vehicle as you - Fixed DLSS stuck enabled on first launch - Fixed unable to dismiss hint after switching tool - Fixed being able to grab the car you are driving - Fixed ambient sound not applying when loading world - Fixed small engine model pointing wrong way - Fixed enormous log spam if EOS disconnects - Fixed crash if character is teleported outside world bounds - Fixed crash when spawning bots in a minigame - Fixed being able to crash server by sending nan values through RPC - Minor UI fixes

Note: There was a small issue with the survey. If you selected you did not use wires and found the survey unexpectedly ended, please come back! There are more pages now... <:br_scuffed:725819387927461910>

We just pushed another update to address some immediate issues and crashes!

Physics - Increase grab force by 5 times - Remove unfinished flipping mechanic

Parts - Add "Cut" hair

Bugs - Fixed mysterious indestructible fireplace sound when pasting speaker bricks - Fixed crash when sitting in nearby seats

Leon

maybe something to tide the all the other train people over until rail joints are added...

Leon

will not use an analytical sphere when attached to joints like other wheels do, instead having a flanged cylindrical collider

Leon

pretty lightweight train so the fact that the flanges climb up the sides of the rails isn't that surprising

Leon

can definitely be improved by just having heavier trains

@everyone Got two things for you again! We just deployed a patch that should fix most of the crashes on loading/saving worlds.

We've also been reading some of the early responses to the survey and are blown away by your support. Nearly a thousand people have filled it in so far. Thank you!

Now, we have a little challenge for you: We see lots of awesome content posted in this Discord, but it's a little bit quiet on the other socials. Why not share your creations in other places like Twitter, Bluesky and Reddit too? If we break past 1000 concurrent users at any point during the weekend, the demo will be extended to two weeks!

Otherwise, the demo will close at: <t:1741024847:f>

Read on for today's patch notes:

Improvement - When creating a new world, it will directly take you to an unsaved environment, rather than forcing you to save an unnecessary empty world first - Audio component pitch range is greatly extended to 0.1 - 10 - Improved the volume level of component music by APX - Added a railroad wheel entity - Added a console command Bricks.DrawDebugColliders 1 to see what the collision shapes of your creations look like

Bugs - Fixed crash loading world that has a minigame with default loadout configured - Fixed crash saving world if you had previously resized a brick beyond a chunk border - Fixed crash on receiving network update for already destroyed physics object out of order - Fixed being unable to follow your friends loading a new world due to the invite code changing - Fixed being unable to remove a saved minigame from a world once created - Fixed being able to set volume of sounds and brightness of lights beyond sensible values with wires - Speculative fix for a crash on leaving world - Speculative fix for a crash on having certain input devices connected

Leon

Just set live another patch that fixes your screen being bricked when changing the effects quality. Incredible how there was just a "make the engine not work" checkbox that we had to turn off

Leon

vblanco: implements a system where if you flip your car you can press a button to flip it back over qa with multiple upside down engines 0.002 seconds after the patch deployed:

Leon

Improvement - Reconnect joints when their orientation is changed.

Leon

One more patch for the demo, probably the last one.

Bugs - Fixed worlds becoming unloadable if the only change between two saves was the clean deletion of an entire chunk of bricks from an otherwise unmodified grid. Thank you for sending in all your broken world samples!

Leon

The Next Fest Demo has officially ended! Thank you all for playing, building amazing creations, and helping us track down bugs these past few days. We loved seeing your creativity in action and reading through all of your feedback.

We'll now take some time to work out our next steps and let you know of our plans in a blog post soon. In the mean time, here are some basic numbers for the demo:

150k visits to the Steam page
36k additions to Steam library
25k total players
22k new players
7.5 years combined play time
2.5 hours average play time
1.5k survey responses

Finally, if you have made any cool creations during the demo, even only partially finished, and you would like them to appear in future content, please share them in <#505342600988065799>! Your creations will also remain safe to load in Early Access.

Leon

But wait, is it really over?
