What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“AutoForge has been in development since early 2019 and has repeatedly received community feedback through early builds that has helped shaped the game into what it is today. Early Access is the obvious next step to bringing the game to a wider audience. We will continue to work with the growing community to create the best game we can.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are looking at being in Early Access for one to two years. We have a good understanding of where we want to take the game but are also listening to the community which may change our plans some.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“While AutoForge is in Early Access we plan to introduce a great deal of more content. Our goal is to expand upon every aspect of AutoForge. This would mean more technologies to research, more factory machines to build, new biomes to explore, additional monsters to fight, an expanded upgrade tree, and much much more. Additionally, we have plans to introduce a few new features, resolve issues, and most importantly incorporate community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It is great and getting better every day. AutoForge already has a massive amount of content to enjoy including a huge technology tree, a large world to explore and many machines to build an expansive factory with. There are dozens of hours of gameplay already and more on the way.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We anticipate there will be a price increase once we leave Early Access but this is something we'll be listening to the community on. If and when there is a price increase we will clearly announce it months in advance.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We want to involve the community in every way we can. Jasson, the lead developer, streams development on a regular basis. We also have a discord server the developers are heavily involved in. We are always listening to feedback through all channels and will undoubtedly seek out feedback through surveys, experimental builds and other means.”

Roadmap

About This Game

A 2D automation sandbox adventure. Build an automated factory with Mana-powered machines and farming, progress through an expansive tech tree, uncover a vast world filled with wonder and danger, upgrade yourself with ancient technologies, and defend it all from enemy invasions.

You are Otto, a magical golem who awakens to find himself abandoned and alone. Seek out your ancient masters and learn what happened to them and the world – but first, you must build…

Automate

Crafting takes time. Instead, build a automated factory composed of Mana-powered machines, farming and monster husbandry. Design sprawling production lines connecting vital resource outposts to the heart of your factory. Reshape the world to fit your needs.

Explore

Forge your own path through dangerous lands. Find new ore deposits to expand your factory, uncover valuable treasures, and interact with the denizens of the world. Each new region is a unique blend of procedural generation and hand-crafted points of interest.

Expand

Otto is forever tethered to the powerful Apotheos; however, with the right materials these bounds can be expanded. Unlock a sprawling sandbox world region by region.

Progress

Delve into a massive technology tree, discovering new structures and materials as your factory’s power expands. Use ancient technology scattered throughout the world to upgrade Otto’s mainframe.

Defend

A mysterious auto-defense system has awakened to protect the world’s resources – from you! Defeat the drones with a sword, blaster, and an auto-defense system of your own.
