Just came across this game, and seems like a very good game for people who are into Terraria and or Factioro, as this seems to be a mix of the two. Quite the smart idea if you ask me. The planned Release Date is 27 Mar, 2024, however there is a Demo available on Steam already. I've never played Factorio so dont judge me to harshly if there isnt too much to compare :P

AutoForge is a 2D automation sandbox adventure. Build an automated factory reaching up to the sky and deep underground, uncover a vast world filled with wonder and danger, upgrade yourself with ancient technologies, and defend it all from enemy attack.

Don't forget to add to wishlist to show support for indie games, Steam Link ❤️

Nice find, I love management games and my gf loved Terraria/Starbound so maybe we just found our new timesink

Ah Starbound brings back memories!

Thanks for the share. Just checked out the demo for half an hour. Really nice game, already seems super polished.

I really like the helpful control tips, it does an amazing job of teaching you the controls. Every time I was wondering what the key was, bam there it was on screen.

Looking forward to the full release, I'll definitely play the demo more when I have time

I also see a lot of parallels to Oxygen Not Included in the screenshots.

In art style maybe, otherwise the main gameplay is very different.

Terraria is a classic, but this game has som real nice potential too me thinks

Looks cool, and I like the synthwave music

[–] Vit@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for sharing! This one looks very interesting to me as I've played Terraria quite a lot. Certainly going to be keeping an eye on this one now.
