FOUNDRY - another factory game

[coopasonic]

Just what the world needed, another factory game! Taking the 3d first person of Satisfactory and combining it with the random world generation of Factorio, FOUNDRY is ready to disappoint everyone next week when the demo is available as part of steam's next Next Fest. The terrain is supposed to be fully destructible. I'll be checking it out next week... if I can pull myself away from Mirage and Forza, anyway.

You should write advertising blurbs!

I'm intweeged. Let us know how it is (if you play.)

Considering the 226 hours I put in on Satisfactory, a title in early access which I swore I wouldn't play till it hit full release, I feel that they are aiming this directly at me

I played the demo a couple hours. It has some strong potential but isn't there yet. The factory building is really well done but it is also really time consuming. The problem is research is slow and once you have your automated assemblies running there isn't much to do right now other than wait and research is really slow.

I've been following the YouTube updates on the game and I've posted them here. I'm mildly excited about the game, tempered by my concern that some recent releases on Paradox tend to have issues

Making a pretty Foundry factory:


Foundry releases into Early Access in a couple of days, this is from the devs:

On the second of August 2020 I posted our initial dev blog after working on this project for about two years. In this past blog I summarized what led me to start a game dev project on my own, what my vision for the game was and my intent to form a professional game dev studio. At the time of writing that blog post our team had already grown to three people and we were confident enough to launch into a pre-alpha state of being available on itch.io. Something that eventually proved to be the right choice. Due to being available on itch we have been able to build up and grow a small audience of dedicated fans on Discord that continuously provided feedback and helped us make the game better. Having people play and enjoy the game provided us with massive boosts in motivation and work-related enjoyment. The team and I are very grateful for everyone who gave the game a chance in its very early stages. Having out a public demo helped attract additional talent and eventually I was able to partner up with industry-veterans Mark and Johann. Together we have founded Channel 3 Entertainment to scale up our development capabilities and elevate FOUNDRY to the next level. A process that culminated in the opportunity of partnering up with Paradox Interactive as publisher and allowed us to once more increase the scope of our project and studio, resulting in a ten person team. Since that we have worked hard to bring you the best game possible. Our Steam Next Fest demo had over 100.000 players and helped us to further polish the game with your feedback.

In short: It was quite the ride over the past six years. It took us longer than we initially planned for, but things don’t always go as scheduled. We took the extra time to get the game into an Early Access state we are now very happy with - and we hope that you will feel the same way.

And now, It's time for the FAQ!

The Early Access release is already around the corner, and we see how many of you have questions about different aspects of the game. We prepared this F.A.Q. to answer the most popular ones and we hope that it will be helpful for you!
