Luden.io, the indie studio behind titles such as while True: learn() and Learning Factory, announces today that its next game, Craftomation 101, will hold a playtest on September 11-18. After landing on a frozen planet, you embark on a quest to terraform it using a bunch of goofy robots that will help you do tiresome work using visual programming. This playtest features a new robot, a new plant (as well as reworked organic growth for them) and a new building. Players can already play Craftomation 101’s demo on Steam. You can check its trailer below.
Steam keys are available to check Craftomation 101’s new features. Ask us for yours!
ABOUT THE GAME
After landing on a frozen planet, one tiny robot has a colossal task to endure: terraforming an entire planet! The first rough estimate for this task is… 9,000 years. Lucky for you, you are not alone: meet the CraftoMates, tiny robots that can be programmed to perform all kinds of tasks –no programming skills needed at all!
Thanks to the CraftoMates ability to harvest resources, collect materials, craft objects, and do all sorts of tiresome work, you will be able to slowly but steadily terraform the planet. Use automation lines, upgrade them as you discover new materials, and don’t forget to feed them every once in a while (though you can automate that too)!
PLAYTEST NEW FEATURES
- New robot: Cargomate is your best robot for carrying heavy stuff around.
- Reworked organics growth: Plants now require a certain temperature to grow.
- New plant: Moss grows near sulphur sources, and is great for making nutritious brews for Craftomates.
- New building: a Brewery allows you to craft two kinds of ales for Craftomates: one speeds them up, and the other one temporarily increases their battery capacity.
- Reworked visuals.
CRAFTOMATION 101 KEY FEATURES
- Terraform a frozen planet by harvesting resources, harvesting materials and creating a workforce that will help you do the most annoying tasks.
- Command a group of goofy robots by assembling and upgrading them using the resources available on the planet. Don’t forget to feed them every once in a while!
- Use visual programming to automate your team of robots. They can harvest and craft materials and eventually become a sustainable workforce capable of terraforming the entire planet.
- Automate every process. Sit in front of your computer, take a sip of your favourite cocktail, and enjoy the terraforming process of your once frozen planet.
