The FreeMind Team

Over the last few years, conversations about AI have become impossible to avoid.

Some people see it as the future. Others see it as a threat. Most discussions focus on what AI can do.

We find ourselves asking a different question:

What happens when people stop questioning systems simply because they are convenient?

As game developers, we're fascinated by the relationship between technology and trust. Not because technology is inherently good or bad, but because people tend to accept systems they don't fully understand as long as those systems appear to work.

That idea eventually became the foundation of a project we're currently working on: Future Sauce Dispenser.

Future Sauce Dispenser is a dystopian satire set in the year 2145. In this world, humanity has become dependent on automated systems to the point where people can no longer function without AI-approved sauce. What begins as an absurd joke quickly turns into a commentary on dependency, automation, convenience, and the gradual erosion of critical thinking.

One question we've already received is why some visuals, text, and trailer elements intentionally use AI-generated content.

The answer is simple:

Because imperfection is part of the message.

The world of Future Sauce Dispenser is built around systems that are trusted despite being flawed. Systems that produce strange results, occasional inconsistencies, and outcomes nobody fully understands anymore.

Not as a celebration of AI, and not as a replacement for creativity, but we thought that the storytelling and the setting of choice is not enough to punch through. We chose to show it with form... a 100% AI trailer, with all the glitches and bugs and imperfections it made.

Future Sauce Dispenser isn't a game about sauce.

It's a game about what happens when convenience becomes more important than understanding.

It's about trusting systems because they work "well enough."

It's about a future that feels ridiculous right up until it starts feeling familiar.

Some people describe the game as "Idiocracy turned into gameplay."

We don't entirely disagree.

If you'd like to see what we've been working on, you can learn more about Future Sauce Dispenser on Steam.

And remember:

No sauce. No function.

House Builder 2 – New Update Announcement

Hello Builders!

Today we want to share something we’ve been working on for quite a while — a major gameplay progression update for House Builder 2!

Our goal is to make your journey feel more rewarding, immersive and personal. We want you to start small, build your way up, improve your equipment and slowly create your own construction empire.

Here’s what we’re currently working on:

Level System & Perks

We’re introducing a full progression system with experience levels and unlockable perks.

By completing jobs and progressing through the game, you’ll earn XP and unlock new abilities that improve core gameplay mechanics or open access to new content.

Some examples include:

• Faster building and demolition

• Better resource handling

• Reduced stamina/tool usage

• New gameplay options and unlocks

• Improved vehicle and workshop management

We want progression to feel meaningful and give players more long-term goals while playing.

Vehicle Progression

You won’t start as a construction tycoon anymore.

The idea is simple: You begin with a cheap old car barely holding together. As you earn money, you’ll be able to buy better vehicles, repair them, customize them and improve their performance.

Current progression idea:

• Old rusty starter car

• Pickup truck restoration project

• Large delivery/construction van

• More vehicles planned for the future

Vehicles won’t just be cosmetic — they’ll become part of your progression and gameplay experience.

Buy & Upgrade Your Own Base

Another big feature we’re planning is a player-owned base system.

You’ll be able to purchase your own property and gradually expand it into a proper construction headquarters.

Your base will allow you to:

• Store vehicles

• Keep tools and materials

• Upgrade workshop areas

• Unlock new functionality

• Expand and customize different sections

We want your base to feel like your home and long-term progression hub.

Still Work in Progress

Please remember that everything shown here is still heavily work in progress and may change during development.

We’ll be sharing more screenshots, previews and gameplay details as development continues.

Let us know what you think about these ideas and what features you’d love to see in the future!

Thank you for supporting House Builder 2 ❤️
