2. Exclusive Art Drop

Maroko's Antique Shop

There are hundreds of new items being added to Let's Build a Dungeon weekly, including countless buildings, dungeons and interiors, so we picked out a couple of our favourite things to share with you. Here's a first look at the interior of Maroko's Antique Shop.

You're able to design and create your own building interiors, but we're also adding pre-made spaces like this that will play key roles in quests during Campaign Mode.

As we shared in our last update, we've been coming up with a bunch of fake store listings inspired by games we love that will appear in GameLink as competitors. In Campaign Mode, you'll track the performance of any games your studio releases on GameLink: a virtual storefront that is definitely, 100% legally distinct from any other real world digital storefronts that sell video games... 👀

You can see a couple of the new titles we added this month below, with unique store artwork created by our artist Ryan.

There are many more where these came from, but if there's a specific style of game you'd like to see added to GameLink or a parody you think should make the cut, please let us know!

3. OceanX Hackathon

Let's Build a... Sub Hangar Display?!

Let's Build a Dungeon and Let's Build a Zoo have officially contributed to real science!

James recently got back from a Hackathon with OceanX aboard OceanXplorer and left a little piece of the Let's Build a... series on board. The ship is a floating laboratory and deep-sea launch pad, with some of the most advanced ocean tech in the world.

He spent 15 days crossing the entire Indian ocean, focusing on building tools to deepen ocean literacy, and with remote help from the Springloaded art team in Singapore, set up new pixel art murals to light up OceanXplorer's sub hangar. So now everyone on the ship has something fun and informative to look at whilst they do spectacular ocean science! It's crazy to know that art from Let's Build a Dungeon and Let's Build a Zoo is now sailing around the world on a research vessel, such an unexpected outcome for 2025.

4. Just Build Mode

Progress and Live Demo

After announcing Just Build Mode during the Wholesome Direct we've been busy working a lot on refining gameplay, and things are really starting to come together. We've got the majority of features in place and it's been a lot of fun starting to see really wide design variations in our test playthroughs.

We were invited to the Video Games x My Digital Life! exhibition at Singapore Central Library which was super fun, and also gave us the chance to demo our live-in-development version of Just Build Mode. Thank you to everyone that stopped by to play! We also shared a look at the same build as part of the Convergence Showcase, debuting some new Twitch integration in a segment hosted by streamers Sips_ and Ravs_. We'll be sharing another look at this in our livestream later today, so make sure to tune in!

And that's a wrap on everything we got up to in September! Please let us know if you have any questions for the Twitch Q&A and you can also head over to Discord to chat to us there. Hopefully see you later today in the Twitch chat!

Thanks for continuing to support Let's Build a Dungeon. We'll see you again soon for more updates.

Team Springloaded
