Since lockpicks are implementend, some players find it funny to defecate in other people's apartments 😑

Still struggling to explain the (overly unique) genre of my game in a short trailer!

Do you have an opinion on this final attempt?

Hello, good and bad news!
Blêktre 2081 has been selected to appear at Stunfest on October 24-25-26 (Rennes, FR) 📢
Good news because it means this new and ambitious version of the game will be ready by then.
Bad news for me because I have to grind hard to be on time 😆

Working on a prototype methane collector. It's a reliable and infinite energy source.

The next major update of Blêktre 2081 will include the long-awaited ability to run any bullshit business without fearing buyouts from other Blêktrians, allowing for a secured solo experience.

The construction of the startupstrial incubator zone has begun.

This small update lets you plaster your face all over the streets. Blêktrians won’t stand a chance, they’ll be lining up at your shop before the competition knows what hit them.

The world burns better with pockets full!

We're pushing the simulation even further - you can now poop on the floor (when you can't afford a toilet)

(Featured in the major UI overhaul shadow-dropped today)

I'm happy—thanks to my UX expert friend, the reworked UI implementation feels much fresher and more intuitive than before. It might help newcomers! Planned for V1.2.

Hell in society also means sometimes having to share the sidewalk with others.

Admire this multiplayer feature with thrilling gameplay.
