Overview
UemeU is a functional, interactive and intuitive 3D physics enabled sandbox based around players building functional and interactive creations which other players can then play around with. The game has entered Private Alpha in August 2013.
It has a unique mechanic which allows you to instantly switch between build mode and play mode encouraging players to interact with one another and the environment in a way that's completely different to any other game. Build mode allows players to build functional, interactive and attractive creations while play mode lets you experience that creation in a way that's immersive.

UemeU has a simple but powerful and flexible way of adding functionality to your creations by using gadgets. With the tools it offers, you can create almost anything. UemeU resembles a mashup between Garry's Mod, The Sims, Minecraft and Roblox.
Gameplay
UemeU's play is split into two modes which you can switch between freely.
Build Mode
Build mode gives you access to a variety of basic shapes which you can then manipulate and play with. The tools included are:
- Moving
- Scaling
- Rotating
- Deforming
- Lighting
- Patricles
- Applying and Editing Materials
- Colouring
- Editing Physical Properties
- Gadgets
Play Mode
Players can switch to play mode whenever they want. In play mode you will play as Ueman (avatar) who is able to interact with the environment and your creations.
Gadgets
UemeU Gadget System is where the majority of functionality and interactivity lies. Gadgets are split into two main types: Trigger Gadgets and Action Gadgets.
Trigger Gadgets are used for detection. For example, they can detect a keypress or a collision. Action gadgets perform the set action whenever a trigger gadget detects something.
There are many gadgets planned for release and the team often looks at the community's requests when considering both new Trigger and Action gadgets.

Updates:
Revamped Character Controller:New character controller is under development. I’m pleased to inform that with the progress made so far, the basic structure of the new character controller will be ready really soon. It already feels more responsive from the old controller and added many new movement abilities. In the meantime Marlon is working tentatively on keymapping new cool animations for UemaN.~ Stathis “Roiku”New Basic Movement Features:
- Walking
- Running
- Sprinting
- Jumping / Double Jump
- Crouching
- Sliding
- [Secret]
Revamp Saving / Loading System:In order to fix a bug when loading worlds where loaded objects were falling through the floor we re-wrote the save system to load content in batches. So instead of loading an object giving it colour, material, special effects and so on, we now batched all the properties to load simultaneously instead of loading per object.~ Sam “Turbopig”Advantages:
- More robust saving / loading.
- More reliable loading in bigger scales.
