Outside the Blocks – launch trailer
Start the game, trust your artistic vision, and relax while creating enchanting dioramas. Outside the Blocks lets you fully express your creativity, offering the freedom to design every detail of your creation. A wide range of tools, models, and elements – along with the ability to customize each of them – offers virtually limitless possibilities for building and decorating your projects. You can create anything, from small wooden cottages to monumental castles with cobblestone courtyards. What’s more, you can bring each creation to life with special animations such as moving animals, rippling water, flickering flames, and gentle gusts of wind.
In this creative sandbox experience, players have full control over every element from the very beginning, including aspects such as shaping the terrain and setting the weather. Making dioramas allows you to fulfill your artistic ambitions, and your works can be captured using the advanced photo mode or displayed in a virtual glass sphere. In Outside the Blocks, you won’t find missions, objectives, or competition – the true driving force is the desire to bring to life the ideas hidden in the deepest corners of your imagination.
Outside the Blocks – key features:
🎨 Art studio for everyone – an extensive but intuitive system for designing, building, and decorating lets both experienced designers and newcomers create miniature works of art. In Outside the Blocks the only limit is your imagination.
🏰 Farm or castle – play by your own rules, with no objectives, missions, or rush. Want to build a massive castle? Go for it! A mill by the river? Done! A barn with a chicken coop? A few clicks, and it’s ready. Everything is set in a consistent medieval and realistic atmosphere.
🐎 Life captured in dioramas – bring creations to life with lush plants, a variety of animals, weather conditions, and other elements of nature. Animations add even more realism and authenticity to every project.
🔍 Advanced layer system – gain full control over every element of your diorama. Precisely arrange objects, apply textures, and easily make adjustments while experimenting with different settings and layouts.
📷 Snapshot – capture the beauty of your creation in photo mode and share it with friends and the community. Focus on the details or showcase the charm of the entire composition.
