Archiblog #6: A Message from the devs



For this sixth edition of the Archiblog, we want to take a moment to thank you. After two weeks of the demo, what an incredible experience it has been for Architect Life!

We’ve seen the community of future architects grow steadily, and it’s an absolute honor to share this journey with you.

Your feedback, in all its forms, is invaluable to us. It helps us refine and improve the game continuously. We’ve loved engaging with you and involving you in the game’s evolution.

Upcoming changes


That’s why we’re actively working on improvements based on your input after the demo. Here’s what we’re already focusing on:
  • Keyboard/Mouse controls improvement
  • UI & navigation improvement
  • Addition of Imperial Measure system option (inches/feets units)
  • A complete tutorial rework

Regarding the tutorial, we want to provide a new learning experience that introduces the gameplay in a structured, step-by-step approach, mirroring both the game’s progression and the key phases of an architectural project. Using the standard UI and functions, you'll advance logically and progressively.

The tutorial will guide you from the basics, starting with essential tools and the initial conception phase, through construction and delivery. Advanced tools will be available for you to explore at your own pace.

Our goal is to make the first experience in the game more intuitive, streamlined, and engaging, with a clearer flow, less text, more highlights and shorter! You’ll be able to navigate more freely, jump into creation faster, and choose when to explore advanced tools.


We hope you enjoyed the demo, and we can’t wait to see you all on June 5 for the launch of Architect Life!

There’s still time to join the team of future architects! Come chat with us on Discord, and follow us on Instagram, X (Twitter), and all our social media channels.

To wrap things up, here are a few words from Émile and Rémy, two of Architect Life’s programmers.

Émile, Programmer:
"So many people played the Architect Life demo and showed great interest in it. We received tons of valuable feedback that will help us make the game even better. A huge thank you to all the demo players, your input is what drives the game forward!"
Rémy, Programmer:
"Thank you for all your feedback on the demo! It was a real pleasure to watch you play on stream and see all the content you shared. We know there’s room for improvement, especially in the tutorial, and we’re already working on a complete rework. We can’t wait to show you what’s next and continue this adventure together!"

As we move forward, your support and feedback remain at the heart of Architect Life's development. Every comment, suggestion, and shared experience helps shape the game into something truly special.

The journey doesn’t end here! We’ll be sharing more trailers next month.

Until then, join us on our socials, and let’s continue crafting Architect Life together!

See you soon!

Architect Life Demo Patch 1



Hello Architects!

Thank you for playing Architect Life and for all your valuable feedback on our Discord or on the Steam forums!

In this update, we’ve addressed several community-reported issues, including a fix for the language selection bug and improvements to overall stability.

We've also implemented an initial solution for multiple crash reports. However, if you continue to experience any crashes, please let us know so we can investigate further!


Architect Life Demo - Patch 1


[h2]Improvements and Fixes:[/h2]
  • Language Selection Bug - Performing a clean install (deleting the Architect folder in AppData) should prevent the language prompt from appearing on the first boot in the demo version. However, after this initial setup, language changes and reboots should function correctly.
  • AZERTY Keyboard Issue - Due to limited reports, we are still investigating this issue further.
[h2]Stability improvements[/h2]
We've implemented initial fixes for the following crashes. In our tests, these issues were not reproduced on our end anymore, but we are continuing to investigate. If you still encounter these crashes, please report them to us.
  • Crash when moving a wall in the demo.
  • Crash when placing a door on a wall while the building is surrounded by fences.
  • Crash when separating a fenced area with a room inside.
  • Crash after deleting a curved fence.
  • Crash after placing fences around a specific house.
  • Crash related to placing interior doors on partitions.
  • Crash occurring while playing in Free Mode.
  • Crash when using the "Move a Wall" feature.
