Reforj Pre-Alpha Gameplay - October 2024

4J Studios, the team that brought Minecraft to consoles and created some of its most memorable minigames and content packs, invites you to step into the world of Reforj. Explore, Build, and Survive in this open-world sandbox.

This is early development footage of our pre-alpha build.

[BlockFacts]

Reforj looks extremely promising and I can't wait to see how it develops into a full game! I have a lot of thoughts about it.

Being able to place blocks on top of other blocks without being above them is game-changing. I hope the rest of the building mechanics are as intuitive, but it looks very complicated at the moment.

I really like the sound design in the cave at 0:19. It's something a certain other voxel game lacks.

The terrain and view distance are amazing and it's very technically impressive that you don't see any chunks popping in while flying at the start of the video. However, the colour of the grass is way too saturated and the lighting feels really flat. If the visuals were as beautiful as the key art, I think this game could be an extremely enticing next-gen competitor to that other game. While the low-poly style is emphasised by this lighting, if this is really only for PS5, Xbox Series X and PC then it needs to look better than its competitors which are even available on mobile devices. Luckily, I'm sure the devs have heard all of these points a million times and are working hard on it!

I'm so excited by the fact that this is just pre-alpha footage and the game can only get better from here. I hope this feedback helps and thank you for listening to the community!

Love everything just hope we can customise the player character models

Mojang: We're never adding vertical half-slabs to Minecraft

4JStudios: Hold my console

Important moment at 1:25 . Small details like that make the game much more enjoyable, and I hope this is a feature of the survival mode equivalent. Can't wait to see how this game continues to grow and turn out!

being someone who loves to build in minecraft, this looks extremely promising! it's nice to see more level of customisation

[Aerialyn]

That's awesome! I absolutely adore the gliding/flying movement and I can't wait to see where this game will go. This is a huge and amazing project! Big ups 4J :)

[rplucker]

Can’t wait to play it! Feels like Minecraft combined with No Man Sky feel and play. So excited!

[SamirBarcoti]

Very promising. I don't know why, but it looks authentic, calm and relaxing. Ngl, it has a really nostalgic Minecraft vibe.
Very good work.

The only issues I hope is tackled are the player character and the actions of the player character (mining being the big one). Make mining and sculpting feel like a real activity than just a spell. Can't wait to see what's made.

I get it's early alpha but it honestly looks like every xbox arcade minecraft clone

[TheRadicalDude]

Guys. This right here, is our childhood but in hd remastered. 4J Studios understands us, what Mojang don't. Thank you 4J Studios for listening to all of us since 2012!

The sound design and vibe is really good!!! And the fact this is just in pre-alpha is crazy, I can't wait to play the end result!!

[dexahtheman]

That grass walking sound is from the same stock sound library -Roblox- Half life (maybe) uses I think

[sweetrishlobrigas]

For a pre alpha gameplay, this is really impressive!

I think the art on the game poster should be similar to the art style that is in the game. Yk the "what you see is what you get" type of impression. and there should be other type of gameplay other than survival like similar to war fights in minecraft where players destroy each other bed. Not necessarily copy minecraft but it would be nice if they make interesting games on reforj other than just the "build and survive" type. thats all

so far i love the progress of the game, the style its refreshing in the eyes, sound effects and many more
there is so much potential!

Hytale takes notes, this is how you keep your community alive, actually showing stuff

[materofgamer]

I hope the music in the background is something thats in the actual game. It sounds really nice

[InternetLizard]

Beautiful! My only gripe so far is that the footstep sounds are kind of loud, but I assume that can be adjusted in a menu. or there are already plans to do so.

Other than that, the building system looks amazing, and I'm very excited to use it!

[ozonous]

Looks great I will 100% be playing this

[leonardoggy]

For being a pre-alpha this looks really good. I'm liking the idea of deconstructing blocks, this is something we always wanted in Minecraft but could only get with some mods. Needs work, still, but it seems to be going well. I have it wishlisted already.

[Roseastasia]

I love the aesthetic of this I hope it doesn’t change too much. Keep the spirit of its design
