As an enthusiast of creative sandbox games, I was thrilled to learn about ‘Outside the Blocks,’ an upcoming title developed by Michał Kubas, a former artist for ‘Dying Light’ and ‘Dead Island.’ This innovative game offers a platform for aspiring environment artists and hobbyists to design detailed 3D dioramas without the need for expertise in complex software like ZBrush, Maya, or Substance 3D Painter.
A Stress-Free Creative Environment
‘Outside the Blocks’ provides a relaxing, pressure-free space where users can express their artistic side. The game allows for terrain modification, enabling the addition of elements such as grass and resin-like rivers. Players can effortlessly assemble modular houses and illuminate their scenes to create the perfect ambiance.
Intuitive Building and Customization
The game’s block system lets users manipulate entire building sections, customize materials, and utilize layers for precise control. Additionally, players can bring their dioramas to life by incorporating animated characters, adding a narrative element to their creations.
Capture and Share Your Masterpiece
Once your diorama is complete, ‘Outside the Blocks’ offers a built-in Photo Mode to capture high-quality images of your work, making it easy to share your creations with others.
Currently, ‘Outside the Blocks’ does not have a set release date, but a demo is available on Steam for those eager to explore its features. This game is poised to be a valuable tool for both aspiring and seasoned artists looking to practice and showcase their 3D diorama-making skills.
