Devlog #10 — 🏠 Home is where heart is ❤️

Hello, Manufacturers! 🏭👨‍🔧


Got you! April Fools! There is no biscuit factory! We are still working on the electronics. March was a bit of a quieter month, mostly focused on organizing things and planning the next steps in the game’s development. We also spent time working on something many of you pointed out during the demo - the save system.But that’s not all I’ve got to share today 👀

🎶 Turning Up the Energy


First up, some new music from our talented composer, Szymon. This time, we’re going for something a bit heavier 😎 The in-game radio will also be expanded, allowing you to switch between different stations.
Here’s another sneak peek:

If you like it, you can listen to the whole new OST on Spotify!


💾 Saving Your Progress


The save system is one of those things you don’t really notice when it’s there… but you definitely notice when it’s not 😅As the game continues to grow, you can be sure of one thing — you’ll always be able to come back to your factory exactly as you left it.

🏭 Moving Into the Factory


The demo ended with you taking over the local market — now it’s time to move into the actual factory. This month, we started working on a brand new level built around that next stage of the game.The space will be mostly empty at first, but it’s up to you how you set it up. All stations and objects can be placed freely on a grid, giving you much more control over your layout. Delivery zones are also getting an upgrade, becoming more structured and professional.

🔮 What’s Next for the Factory


Now I can finally share a bit more about the future of the factory. This stage will focus on building your own facility from the ground up, starting with NPC workers. They’ll collaborate at larger workstations to produce more advanced products, while also handling transport, inspection, and packing — forming a complete production chain.The factory itself will be expandable, allowing you to grow and customize the space as you progress. And once you gain enough reputation on the national market, you’ll unlock a new technology that connects NPC workers with factory automation… but I’ll leave the rest for you to imagine 👀That’s everything for this month! We’re slowly laying the groundwork for the next big stage of the game, and there’s a lot more to come.As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts, what are you most excited about so far?See You in the factory, manufacturer.You can contact me directly on discord:
