Trailmakers is a play-as-you-like vehicle building game with reliable physics, controlled chaos, land, sea, and air combat . Jump straight into the open-world Pioneers campaign where you complete missions, craft blocks and fight BOTNAKs. If you just want to play around with a plethora of different blocks, there are five dedicated sandbox maps that will let you tinker with vehicles in space, water, and ground. Sandbox gives you fun challenges, creative freedom, and high speed driving and flying. Use the integrated workshop to download other people’s creations and have addictingly fun skirmishes with up to seven friends in multiplayer. BUILD EVERYTHING The intricate yet intuitive building mechanic allows you to either choose pre-made vehicles from the game and the community workshop or build your own vehicles completely from scratch using hundreds of blocks that affect both aerodynamics, functionality, speed, combat ability, and much more in a world ruled by reliable physics. Customize your character and block designs with a heap of different skins, colors, and pattern combinations to create your own personal brand. The builder is made to be as accessible and intuitive as possible for players who are new to building games while also equipped with features for the more hardcore segment of engineers: Easy to learn, hard to master! COMBAT Trailmakers offers an arsenal of 14 different weapons like minigun, EMPs, laser blasters, rocket launchers and shotguns to name a few. Set up a server with your friends or join one of the hundreds of public games to test them out in different PvP scenarios. Fight in the air, ocean, ground, or in space. Your choice of mayhem is entirely up to you. MULTIPLAYER All game modes in Trailmakers, including the main story, allow Multiplayer for 2-8 people. Jump into one of the five dedicated sandbox maps, hang out and build together, test each other's vehicles, or share and be inspired from thousands of incredible community made workshop builds. Controlled chaos, land, sea, air, and space combat awaits you and your friends - or jump into Race Island where 14 different tracks are ready for you to put your name on the leaderboards. This is the ultimate do-whatever-your-heart-desires game. CAMPAIGN In the main game mode, “Pioneers” you will dive head-first into a breathtaking open world with loveable NPCs, challenging enemies, and an adventurous story. Unlock new parts as you complete missions and build different vehicles for the different biomes and terrains - play the campaign alone or multiplayer. You will join the Trailmakers: An elite society of engineers and are sent out to help the population of Gregory - a community of peaceful frogs who have been invaded by the evil BOTNAKs who are ruthlessly mining the planet and stealing its resources.

Press Quotes

“The best building in a game that I have ever seen – it’s just drag and drop, easy as pie!” Draegast “I like the idea that I have a little environment to go around, not just building stuff in a test arena. A world to see!” Jacksepticeye “I can see Trailmakers gaining a big audience with people who like Minecraft, the Kerbal Space Program and other creative games that aim to be limitless.” Hardcore Gamer
