Buildanauts just launched on Kickstarter and if it doesn’t flood you back with memories of playing with your Tonka Trucks in the sandbox I don’t know what will. Surprisingly it sounds more than just a simple build whatever you want go game with a bunch of depth. Not just the man running the dump truck you’ll also work your way up as foreman, city planner and even mayor like Goldie Wilson.
Building houses of your own design, and roads your town will start to go naturally on its own and the happier you keep your citizens are the more of them that will want to move in. Sounds like there will always be something to add or do in your town. Additionally there’s a bunch of side quests to spark your creativity as well. Buildanauts has tons of vehicles as well like steam rollers, recycling trucks, catering trucks, cement mixers, you name it. PC players will even be able to build a city with a friend using on-line co-op, console gamers aren’t left out either but it will be local co-op only.
Buildanauts is currently up on Kickstarter with 28 days left and a goal of $35,000. The early bird tier is still up for $10 CAD getting you a copy of the game on DRM Free on PC, Mac or Linux plus a Steam key once launched. If you happen to miss out on that tier $15 CAD will secure your copy. Be sure to check out the video above and also send them some love over on Steam Greenlight as well.

PRESS RELEASE
OPEN-WORLD CONSTRUCTION GAME “BUILDANAUTS” NOW ON KICKSTARTER AND STEAM GREENLIGHT
“Buildanauts” Promises Hours of Building Fun for the Whole Family
HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA – October 6 th , 2014 — TouchTilt Games announced today the launch of a crowdfunding campaign for its innovative open-world construction simulation videogame, “Buildanauts.” The game, set for release in early 2015, is being developed for Windows, Linux, Mac, Wii U, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Developed by Halifax-based TouchTilt Games, “Buildanauts” will allow players of all ages to experience a vast, open world where they can design and build their very own living town. The whimsical, non-violent construction simulator lets players operate heavy machinery, wield a variety of power tools, and complete assignments and side-quests as they build the town of their dreams from the ground up.
“I’m making ‘Buildanauts’ because it’s the game I’ve always wanted to play with my children,” said Shane Whitehouse, CEO of TouchTilt Games. “That’s why I believe our Kickstarter campaign will be a success. I know there are other players out there who are thinking, ‘Why hasn’t anyone made this game yet?’ Well, we are making it; and with your help, it’s going to be amazing.”
Funds provided through Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight will allow developer TouchTilt Games to complete production of the game, which Whitehouse estimates is 50 percent done. Crowdfunding will enable TouchTilt Games to complete the game and polish the user experience, then port it to consoles.
The Kickstarter campaign for “Buildanauts” ends on November 5th.
