Overkill Hotfix and Small Update

Hi all, Big apologies to anyone this affected, but it looks like I broke the saving of overkill numbers on my last update. It was brought to my attention that the record for overkill on each rank was not being saved correctly if you closed the game and opened it back up (even if it was showing the correct numbers during your playthrough before closing). If this happened to you I would be happy…

Mickey here : ) Order Automatica first started about 4 years ago when I had a random idea that got me excited enough to whip up a quick prototype: What if Super Auto Pets, but on a grid? It's pretty comical saying this now because it seems so simple, but at the time I was enamored with SAP and coming off a bigger group project. I wanted to see if I could make a game all by myself!

In Order Automatica, every battle is only one part of the ritual. Before your units clash, you have a chance to prepare. After the battle, you return to that preparation phase and use what you have learned to make your team stronger. The game is built around two repeating phases: preparation and battle .

How Pixel Art Shapes Order Automatica

From the very beginning, one of our main goals with Order Automatica was that everything feels instantly readable. When you’re juggling rituals, placement, and choices, we wanted the game to communicate clearly what’s going on - and pixel art turned out to be the perfect tool for that. Early on, a few artists helped lay the foundation for the visual style, creating character sprites and UI elem…

Canonical Rituals: Designing Asymmetrical Challenges

When I first started working on Order Automatica, Canonical Rituals wasn’t meant to be the “main” mode. It kind of became that by accident. Originally, the plan was simpler - you and the enemy would follow the same rules. Same systems. Same drafting. Same preparation phase. A fair fight. But while prototyping, I tried something different: what if the enemies didn’t play by your rules? That’s wh…

We’re excited to be part of the Steam Deck Builder Fest — and we brought something… a little different. Order Automatica is our take on a deckbuilder — but without cards.

The 3x3 Grid and Why Placement Matters

One of the first big questions when we were making Order Automatica was simple: how big should the battlefield actually be? The answer we landed on might surprise you: a tiny 3x3 grid. That’s it. Nine squares. But don’t let the size fool you - this little battlefield is where a lot of the game’s depth lives. Small Grid, Big Decisions At first glance, a 3x3 grid seems limiting.

The Discovery of Order Automatica

When the excavation team reached the lowest chamber of the ruins, they were expecting pottery shards, maybe a few fragments of tablets - not this. A board. A perfect 3x3 grid, carved into obsidian. Symbols etched in gold. Faint traces of dried wax. At first, we thought it was a ritual, maybe some form of forgotten divination - something between numerology and chess. But the deeper we looked, th…

Hi all, This update is pretty big, and I'm quite excited by it. TL;DR: You can move units and items around in ways you couldn't before. For example: you can move a unit from your grid back into the hold spot. Maybe if you give that unit in the hold spot a "when held between battles" distillation, it will work?! What I'm saying is, it opens up a lot of weird strategies. Full patch notes: 🦾 Enem…
