Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe Early Access is the best way to develop Factory Life together with our community. The game already offers a solid foundation, but we have plenty of ideas for expanding and improving the factory management experience.

Player feedback will help us fine-tune gameplay mechanics, improve balancing, introduce new features, and make Factory Life even more enjoyable. We want to build a game that grows alongside its players, and Early Access gives us the opportunity to do exactly that.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Factory Life to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. However, if we feel that more time is needed to polish the game, improve its features, or address player feedback, we're happy to extend this period. Our priority is to deliver the best possible experience rather than rush the full release.”

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

“The full version will feature more types of electronics to manufacture, requiring much more complex production pipelines. Management skill trees will be expanded with new abilities, allowing players to climb from the bottom of regional and national rankings all the way to the top of the global electronics manufacturer leaderboard.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access allows you to start your career as an electronics manufacturer. The player's journey leads from a modest garage, where they will learn the core mechanics, to a modern factory where they will build the foundations of their business to climb the leaderboards from the black market all the way to the regional elite.”

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

“The price may increase slightly as we add new content, features, and improvements throughout Early Access. Any potential price adjustments will reflect the game's development and the additional content available to players.”

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

“Community feedback will play an important role in shaping Factory Life. We'll be listening to players through Steam Discussions, reviews, and other community channels to learn what works, what needs improvement, and what features they'd like to see next.

We'll also share development updates and keep players informed about our progress. We want Early Access to be a collaborative process where player suggestions can genuinely influence the future of the game.”

About This Game

Factory Life is a first-person factory simulator with colony-management elements. Betrayed by the ideals you believed in: hard work and sacrifice. What did it bring you? Now you must find your own path. Will you be able to change anything, or will you become the very thing you hate? 

Grow Big

Start at the very bottom, working alone in a grimy garage. Gather people like you to build something greater together. Take care of their needs, manage their schedule, and avoid burning them out. Or be a tyrant. Forge your own path.

Create

Put your hands back to work. Assemble electronics on your own, earn money, buy materials, and acquire new licenses. Satisfy your clients and offer increasingly better products. Show them that you are someone to be reckoned with.

A Whole Pipeline

Assemble, inspect, and pack electronics. Build assembly lines made of human hands. Optimize your workflow and cut costs to stay competitive as demands continue to rise. Are you up for the challenge?

Strong Like a Tree

Expand your skills and watch your potential grow. Over time you will become stronger, mastering more complex tasks. Just remember that with great power comes great responsibility.

To the Top

Compete. Produce more, better, and faster than others. Build a stronger position as you race up the leaderboard against other manufacturers. Don't give up, and you will eventually reach the top. But will it be worth it?

Key Features:

  • Start from Scratch: Be a one-man assembly line and build everything with your own hands.

  • Automate: Hire workers to boost your production and scale your operations.

  • Manage: Optimize workflow, take care of your crew's needs, and make tough choices.

  • Unique Setting: Experience the harsh reality of 1980s Asia.

  • Good or Evil: Decide what kind of boss you want to be.

  • Reach the Top: Outperform the competition and prove you are the best.
