Designed with an eye towards both accessibility and depth, Rise of Industry (formerly known as Project Automata) takes inspiration from classic games like Industry Giant, Transport Tycoon, Anno, and Factorio. There’s enough strategic complexity and replayability to satisfy the most experienced lovers of the genre, while its user friendly mechanics ensure that new players will love it as well.

The name of the game

We are so excited to inform you that Project Automata is heading into full Alpha and has officially received its shiny new title: Rise of Industry. The game has gone through some significant changes in the last few months and we felt it deserved a name worthy of the amazing game it has become.

What's New?

We are so glad you asked! Here is a list of changes and new features:

  • Models have improved dramatically and, although not all are completely textured yet, are in the new alpha version
  • Trains are now in the game, which adds a whole new way to get your goods from place to place
  • Town behaviours have been modified and improved
  • Game performance has been improved
  • You now have the ability to save and load games
  • Many bugs gave their lives to bring us this update...
  • Much more coming soon!

I Want to play!

I know you do, and you can now preorder, as it's set to come out next week! We decided to use itch.io for distribution and easy patching. Check it out here
