A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Post-release: Sharing what I've learned while developing "Be A Rock"
2023-04-27 08:44 UTC · Community Announcements · Theseus Games
Hello to everyone reading this! This is something I wanted to share with you and anybody who wants to go out and follow their goals. I firmly believe that with any new project one should challenge themselves to go a little bit further than the last. This is how progress is made. So here is what I learned from Be A Rock: 1) How to create massive landscapes; 2) How to fine tune, how to texture how to populate them; 3) How to make them beautiful and interesting; 4) How to work with lighting - that was a difficult one, light is very tricky to get right, still learning; 5) Pacing and story telling
