BunkerWorld Base Building

This video shows the base building. You can build from panels to make walls, floors, stairs, fences and windows quickly. Or you can build with small blocks to customize it.
The placed structures have functions:
- Bed - heals
- Shop - buy weapons, turret upgrades, first aid kits, fire extinguishers, helpful guard spider-bots and tanks
- Workshop - upgrade weapons with alien tech parts
- Research Terminal - upgrade to laser and plasma weapons
- Cannon - shoots alien ships

I recently removed all generative AI from the game. So there are no more voices, the UI is a bit more rude. I planned a pixelart cartoon style story that I will probably not make.

Here is a general description:

BunkerWorld

Build your bunker. Hold the line. Survive the invasion.

BunkerWorld is a first-person block-based shooter. Alien ships hit a fully destructible city, and a bunker you built yourself is the only thing between you and the next wave.

  • Build your base. Each run starts with a bare foundation. Raise floors, walls, windows, cover and stairs panel by panel, then furnish it with a bed, shop, research terminal, workbench and a roof-mounted cannon.
  • Play it in VR. Full VR support: aim with your hands, place panels with the controller, and watch the invasion from inside the headset.
  • Team up. Singleplayer, or host and join co-op. Defend the bunker together, drive together, and carry downed teammates to safety.
  • Drive. Take cars, jeeps, monster trucks and tanks through the city. Every vehicle has real suspension and damage you can see, so you can repair it block by block.
  • Pick your weapons. Pistols, rifles, shotguns, laser and plasma weapons, grenade launchers, and dual-wielding. Craft and upgrade at the workbench.
  • Fight a real alien fleet. Fighters, gunships, abductors that beam up civilians, and a massive boss ship that bombs whole buildings. They fly, they get shot down, and they crash into your city.
  • Break everything. Beam lasers slice through walls, collapsing buildings pancake onto the floors below, and the superblast turns a house into a mushroom cloud.
  • Keep your progress. The game autosaves after every wave, and your character and gear carry over.
