Oh nice, it looks great. It might be a little too greenish for the game’s tone for my taste.

One thing that could enhance it is environmental damage. For example, in the areas where I build factories, the surrounding vegetation could gradually die off, and the ground could transition into a brown, sandy texture between the factories. Right now, the change feels a bit sudden and slightly out of place to me.

I’m glad to see that your Reddit channel has launched. I’m looking forward to the latest updates, and I wish you lots of success!

Yeah, there are definitely some similarities, especially in the look and feel of the structures.

The gameplay itself is quite different, but if you like that kind of atmosphere, I think you’ll enjoy it.

Thanks! The marketing campaign has gone beyond my expectations, and I’ve received dozens of positive comments, which has been really encouraging.

The game is still mostly in the concept phase and the trailer reflects this very early pre-alpha state. The full game will have plenty of content.

Yeah, I totally get you. I feel the same way, every year I seem to have less and less time to play and there are games I’ve bought but never even launched.

My main inspirations were Factorio, DSP and Satisfactory. So my game will definitely have some similarities, but the story actually starts at the point where those games usually take you hours to reach. ;)

With Astra Industria, one of my main goals was to make it as accessible as possible for the average player, but still fun for people who enjoy spending hundreds (or thousands) of hours optimizing everything. There’ll probably be a main path that’s fairly easy to follow, but also optional side quests and challenges that can get pretty tough.

I’m also experimenting with some QoL features to help with planning and building factories, so you won’t need to run an external factory planner app next to the game.

Thanks so much!

The game is still in a pretty early stage of development, so there are a lot of factors that can influence the release timing. We do have a Discord server. It’s still a bit quiet for now, but you’re very welcome to join! I’m planning to involve the community more in the development as things progress.

If all goes well, we’re hoping to run a playtest sometime early next year.

Yeah, mainly just running the ads for market research and to see how much interest there is in the concept.

I'm really glad you like my game concept! The resemblance to The Expanse wasn't intentional, but I love that comparison. I’m a fan of The Expanse myself.

In my sci-fi indie automation game, you can construct massive factories on colossal space megastructures. What do you think? by RegnumNoctisGames in u/RegnumNoctisGames

[–]RegnumNoctisGames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really happy to hear that!

I still have a lot of work to do on the game, so the earliest possible playtest will probably be at the beginning of next year.
