Looks like solid options 🙂 Grid based is a big plus in my book, the freeform thing _can_ be nice, but it too often comes with massive micro management or stuff that peeks through walls, does not fit/float etc etc ect.

Yes, also a fan of grids. Makes planning a bit easier for me and if it’s also better for developing the game, well it’s a win-win.

Really like the new stairs. Versatile and adaptable. Steeper than FF? Less area? 🙂

Roofing looks interesting. Not a fan of a generic roof, so any variation is a positive.

Thanks, yeah!

So far, I think the hardest challenge game-design wise is making the roof easy to build.  
The roof is a little bit harder, because it’s slanted and you’re aiming at it from below usually. And we want to make it as easy as possible to build so that players don’t just build boxes.

But we’ll see in July what people will and will not build. 😃
