Dear constructors and engineers,

Greetings builders,
Finally the bricks are out of the box now and we can unveil our brand new project: LEGO® Bricktales! After building bridges with our beloved Bridge Constructor franchise for more than 10 years, it felt like a logical step to bring our builder approach to the next level. And believe me, we couldn’t be happier to do this in collaboration with the LEGO Group!
But don't get me wrong, LEGO Bricktales is not a game about building bridges with LEGO bricks. No, it's much more! It is a digital adventure, where players follow a charming story across 5 different colorful diorama biomes (a dense and lush jungle, a sun-drenched desert, a bustling city corner, a towering medieval castle and tropical Caribbean islands) all fully built from LEGO bricks. As you explore these diverse worlds, we want you to unlock your creativity by building your own solutions to the many puzzles you will face.
Watch on YouTube In each diorama, there are LEGO minifigures who need your help. While exploring the environments, you will discover a variety of construction spots with their own sets of bricks and it’s up to you to figure out a build that will work. Use the intuitive brick-by-brick building mechanic to solve puzzles and bring your solutions to life. The scope of these puzzles range from purely aesthetic creations such as market stands and music boxes, up to functional physics-based puzzles like building cranes, gyrocopters and - of course - bridges. There must always be a bridge. 😉
We are really looking forward to showing you more LEGO Bricktales in the near future. Follow LEGO Bricktales here on Steam and sign up to the newsletter on bricktal.es to be the first to know about all our announcements. And of course, if you’re excited about LEGO Bricktales, don’t forget to add the game to your wishlist! ❤️
Until then, friends - stay safe and keep building!

Greetings constructors and engineers,
We have a very special announcement for you today that you would certainly not have expected from the Bridge Constructor series: A decade after the initial launch Bridge Constructor is finally receiving its tabletop adaptation with Bridge Constructor: Breaking Point! ːsteamhappyː
We have partnered with Maestro Media (The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls, Tapeworm), game designer Jeb Havens (Critical Role’s Uk’otoa, Z-Man Games' Burrows) and illustrator Charlie Hill (Coca-Cola, A&E Network) to offer you Bridge Constructor: Breaking Point - an easy-to-learn and difficult to master game of tile placement, card management, and pushing your luck.
Suitable for ages 10 and up with 2 - 4 players, the heart of the tabletop game remains true to the original’s concept: engineer the best bridge you can with limited supplies and cross vehicles successfully. The gameplay is half puzzle and half press your luck. Each round you have the choice to pick a bridge tile and either continue to strengthen or rebuild your bridge or cross your vehicles. Choose from Super Light, Light, Medium, or Heavy vehicles that each have their unique points and challenges. Watch out for your fellow engineers though, at any time they might play an event card on you, unleashing devastating damage to your perfectly planned bridge!
Bridge Constructor: Breaking Point will launch on Kickstarter this September, with retail and additional distribution plans already in the works. To learn more about Bridge Constructor: Breaking Point and to sign up for updates, please visit bridgeconstructorgame.com.
Happy bridge building, all the best and stay healthy!

Dear survivors, constructors and engineers,
In August 2020 Geoff Keighley announced a world premiere at the gamescom: Opening Night Live in Cologne:
"Get a load of this next game announcement that I don't think anybody probably saw coming. Go check this out!"
And yeah, Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead definitely was the mashup that nobody saw coming. And now - three months later - we are really happy to announce that from now the latest installment of our Bridge Constructor franchise is releasing for PC, Mac and Linux here on Steam!
Join a group of survivors fighting against hordes of undead walkers and a hostile human community, build bridges and other constructions through bleak landscapes and ruined structures and team up with fan-favorite The Walking Dead characters like Daryl, Michonne and Eugene!
And in case that you are not ready for your next test in civil engineering take a look at our infographic and learn about the different types of bridges. It might come in handy:
If you wanna share some feedback on the game or you just want to chat with other survivors, please join us on the Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead Discord channel.
So, happy building and surviving to all of you out there!

Original postHey guys! I am Matthias Hilke, Product Manager at ClockStone Studio. Since we released Bridge Constructor Portal together with Headup in early 2018, more than one and a half years have passed and we have received a lot of awesome feedback from you. We are really happy about that! We love Bridge Constructor Portal and want you to have the best possible Portal experience with it!
So, with the fresh Bridge Constructor Portal Content DLC "Portal Proficiency" you are now able to place portals on your own, which adds a whole new dimension to the game!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vvfg_V7ML8
Here are some useful tips and tricks that might help you survive the Portal Proficiency chambers:Test Mode: Deconstruct complex levels
Test Mode – what does it actually do? It activates the physics system but without starting the vehicles so you can check if your constructions are stable by themselves. It also activates all Companion Cube Dispensers and High Energy Pellet Launchers - as long as they don't require additional trigger mechanisms, like pressing a button for example. So, if one of your tasks in a test chamber is to redirect a cube onto a button, you can use Test Mode to focus on that before meddling with the vehicles. Of course, in some cases the path of the vehicles might cross the path of the cube so you might end up doing some adjustments after testing it in Drive Mode. However, Test Mode often helps a lot to deconstruct a complex level and solve it step by step.In the case that a cube dispenser does not spit out a cube in Test Mode, check again if it needs another mechanism to be triggered. You can easily check this by examining if there are cables running to it. No cables mean it should spit out a cube without further ado.
Non-linear test chamber access in Chapter 3
Over the course of the DLC, test chambers are getting more difficult and complex and the later ones might take some time to solve (not necessarily though. I don’t want to frighten you unnecessarily. Hey, this is me, Matthias, not GLaDOS...). To avoid that a chamber you are particularly struggling with prevents you from enjoying the rest of the game, we decided that all chambers of chapter 3 are unlocked at once. So, if you get stuck in a chapter 3 chamber, you can quit it for a while and try another one.The Build-all-struttings feature
This feature eases the building hassle a little bit. It allows building several connection elements (the rigid ones, not the cable) in one single step. Press ‘Ctrl’ on your keyboard when placing a new element with your mouse and it will automatically build all connections that are indicated by the dotted preview lines. If you prefer solely using your mouse, pressing the mouse wheel instead of the left mouse button does the same job. But don’t rely on it too much! It will only complete structures for your convenience. You’ll still have to do some thinking and come up with a reliable construction!PS. Some of the more complex levels might give you a hard time but don't forget: the harder you have to try the more rewarding the feeling will be once you have solved them! ;)

There's a PC Game Pass title that changes the graphics settings on Xbox too

Original postIn a world of cross-platform development, one of the key differentiating factors between console and PC releases is the ability to tweak graphical settings - a necessity when a games PC can be built from a vast array of different components. Graphics menus in console games are a rarity for obvious reasons, making this discovery somewhat curious: adjusting graphics presets in Bridge Constructor Portal on the Windows Store works just as it should, but with an added bonus - your changes transfer across to the Xbox versions too and can radically alter performance.
Friend of Digital Foundry, Alex Goh, clued us into this one when exploring the Xbox Game Pass library and remarkaby, his report checks out. Settings changes on the PC version are beamed into the cloud and transfer over to both Xbox One S and Xbox One X - presumably a factor of UWP and the 'Play Anywhere' nature of the title. In-game progress is shared between Xbox and PC platforms, and somehow, your graphics settings do too. Also fascinating is that if you play the game on Xbox first, the console settings migrate across to the PC game when you load it up.
There are three major areas for adjustment: anti-aliasing, post-process effects and shadows. By default these are set to 2x MSAA and medium quality, respectively. By far the biggest impact to performance comes from anti-aliasing, where ramping this up to a maximum 8x MSAA sees both Xbox consoles collapse to a wobbly 10-15 frames per second.
