Description

A fantasy automation factory game, players play as the last member of a civilization, tasked to recreate “The Artifact”, an object that represents the peak of the vanished civilization’s technology. Players place machines, collect, combine, refine, and transport items to form effective factories, to craft items that are more and more powerful and complex.

This project is built with a small team, and lots of chaos in our workflow and task distribution due to sad events in life, I must say I am a bit disappointed with the outcome, but still, we managed to produce a demo and learned a lot of new skills during development.
