It has been years since I made this game (with artist Adam Meyer and others), and almost as long since I sat down to just play it for fun.
I designed Impossible difficulty to be harder than I could beat. It's pure pain - the zed come at you incessantly, you have less food, fewer houses, more negative events. Pretty much every variable is cranked up against you.
The question isn't really whether I'll survive, but for how long. Wish me luck!

Version 1.6.39 - Quick fix for a couple events (including a very cool one in the Vancouver map which was always there but never ran before) and fixed achievements for the umpteenth time. Sorry folks, I can't help myself, I just love to break those cheevos.

Minor updates which mainly affect the modding system.
Users on Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina) may see a security warning when they install Rebuild 3. I'm afraid I've been unable to get Apple's new notarization system to work with our engine. This may result in Rebuild 3 being unavailable for Mac in future OS editions, or needing a security workaround to install. I'm sorry!

Looks like things are running smoothly in Deadsville now. I've been off in an entirely different universe working on a VR Puzzle game called Fantastic Contraption which we released a couple weeks ago.
I came back to Rebuild to fix a few issues and got all nostalgic looking through the code. This game filled my waking life for 3 years - morning, noon, nights and weekends I worked on it and worried about it. Rebuild 3 is my greatest accomplishment, but it did wreck my psyche and break my heart. I'll always love it though. <3

Hi everyone! Yes Rebuild 3's out but there's no rest for the wicked... and I guess that's me. I've fixed many small bug fixes and done a bunch of optimizing to keep the game running smoothly on older machines. Maybe those damned sticky survivors are finally unstuck... we'll see.
Hi everyone! Yes Rebuild 3's out but there's no rest for the wicked... and I guess that's me. I've fixed many small bug fixes and done a bunch of optimizing to keep the game running smoothly on older machines. Maybe those damned sticky survivors are finally unstuck... we'll see.
And 3 changes by popular demand:
1. Survivors no longer have their levels nerfed between cities. I originally did this as a balancing issue, so make sure you adjust your difficulty accordingly if you plan to storm into a new city with five level 20 tanks (which is super fun, don't get me wrong!).
2. You can now pause/unpause while in menus by clicking the tiny pause icon at the bottom-right. The game won't start ticking until you exit the menu.
3. And bath salts addiction wears off over time now if you ban them.
Cheers!
