Become an appraised engineer and architect! Bridge Constructor is now available DRM-free on GOG.COM. Create and design your own constructions and watch the cars and trucks pass over them - or see them fall and crash while your inferior creations collapse due to weight and the laws of physics.

Apart from the original Bridge Constructor game, also sci-fi themed Bridge Constructor Portal and more historical Bridge Constructor Medieval are available DRM-free in our store. All three mentioned above games from Headup studio come with 50% discounts that will end on 13th August, at 3 PM UTC. Also until 13th August 2020, 1 PM UTC, if you buy Bridge Constructor, Bridge Constructor Portal, and Bridge Constructor Medieval at the same time, you'll get the Bridge Constructor game for free.

Nice! Bridge Constructor is great game.

Bridge Constructor Medieval is missing in-game screenshots (and probably a trailer) on its store page.

EDIT : Fixed.

I've always been interested in these; glad to see them here.

Loger13: They didn't learn that lesson when they screwed up with Thronebreaker ad. This means that they are doomed to repeat this mistake again. The result will be appropriate.
It's the second time i see you complaining about that. Do you mean Thronebreaker's full page ad that for some reason got a lot of folks irritated sometime ago? If yes, about what lesson are you talking about? Perhaps i'm missing something here?

They aggressively popped the game banner everywhere, which many complained about. When the game released here, it ended up selling so bad that they quickly had to release the game on Steam and tell that "exclusivity doesn't work with GOG".
Let's just say that I have a different opinion about the reasons for the failure of sales here, and the disgusting obsessive advertising campaign is just one of them (not even the main one).

I don't know why Steam users complained about the Thronebreaker exclusivity... If you can support the original creator you should do it and not give Valve 30% of it

The first games is a superb gem of our days. Can't say the same for Medieval, Playground or Portal since I barely played these (albeit Portal looks the most fun of these three) but again the first one (and a bit of the second) was particularly thoroughly delighted by 2013 me.

So much fun. Great, challenging, mind boggling sometimes. I couldn't stop. After ~ 15hrs it was all over.
Gosh seven years fly by so fast! Go grab a copy since it's a no miss here, trust me.

ciao!

Even though i can't relate to the above sentence (i belong to the camp of "it's their game, it's their store" blah blah blah), i've no problem with it; i don't mean to judge anyone about it.

Can't say anything about this other than that exclusivity sucks. Even if some companies do benefit from this practice, the customers certainly don't.

They did, but at least the banner came with a "don't show again" button which meant it popped just once unless someone wiped cache / cookies after every browsing session or didn't allow them in first place. And even if it was annoying to some, i'm willing to bet it doesn't even reach the "greatness" of these cookie consent banners / overlays that are the norm nowadays and usually are far more annoying.

Well, they thought the same way: "This is our game and our store - now we will stick around everything with banners and will push them into everyone's face. A lot of people are beginning to get annoyed? Don't care. We will definitely increase sales this way."

I think so too. But here I am just on the position: "their game - they sell where they want." This does not mean, however, that I will buy it where THEY want. Precisely because I consider all this anti-consumerism nonsense. But in this case, I don't think that was the problem (We already had GOG exclusives (at least temporary) - and the game was bought very actively).

There was no close button there, at least initially. And it wasn't for quite a long time: I even had to create a rule in the ad blocker that removes this banner, because by that time I was frankly tired of it.

Ok uh what happened to the sale? It's currently 6:46 am CT for me (which is 11:46 am utc...) So what gives?
