Logic World creator Jimmy Cushnie was a Minecraft redstone enthusiast who was a bit frustrated with the Mojang game's relatively slow update speed, and took matters into his own hands. He created his own 3D logic construction game, first called The Ultimate Nerd Game, later rewritten and changed to Logic World, on Steam and Itch.io.
Logic World is, at its core, a circuit simulator where players can use a vast array of tools and computer logic to create different circuits within the game's sandbox world. Similar to its Minecraft inspirations, those circuits are crafted with physical building blocks within a 3D space, and can be used to create some pretty astounding things.
The Early Access title doesn't shy away from complexity, but that's part of the appeal. Speaking to Game Developer, Cushnie explains that his ultimate goal is to see Logic World teach that complexity in an accessible way, and open those logic-driven creation tools up to new audiences.
Game Developer: For starters, who are you, and what is Logic World?
Cushnie: Hello! My name is Jimmy, and I've spent the last four years creating Logic World. Logic World is a game about building circuits, and it's something I've been dreaming about since I was 11.
How do computers work? How do you build a circuit that can do math? I am utterly fascinated by these questions, and I see a profound, transcendent beauty in the answers. With Logic World, I want to teach and share these complex concepts in a way that's approachable, engaging, and most importantly, fun. I want more people to love logic like I do.
Unlike traditional circuit simulators, Logic World is a bright and colorful 3D world which you explore and interact with from a first-person perspective. It's also fully
