What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Vein-X blends dungeon crawling, survival and complex factory automation. Early Access allows me to involve the community to fine-tune balancing, expand automation systems, and refine the overall experience based on real player feedback. Your input is vital to shape the game into its full potential.
”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect Early Access to last around 18-24 months, depending on community feedback and the scope of new features. My goal is to ensure a polished and satisfying experience before the full release.
”

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

“I plan to add more machinery, new automation components, deeper progression systems and improved AI. I also want to keep enhancing the atmosphere and story elements throughout development.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay loop is fully functional: explore procedurally generated dungeons, mine rare minerals, survive deadly encounters and build an automated lab. physics, crafting, basic enemy AI and the no-UI inventory system via your robot are all in place. Further content and polish are planned.”

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

“Vein-X may increase slightly in price after Early Access.”

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

“I’ll actively collect feedback through Steam forums, Discord, official website and social channels. Players will help me prioritize new features, balance difficulty, suggest automation improvements and report bugs. I’ll also regularly share development updates and roadmaps to keep everyone informed.

About This Game

A crash leaves you stranded and alone in a remote lab while war rages across the surface. With nowhere else to go, you descend into dark alien dungeons to extract rare minerals and bring them back to automate your growing facility. Balance the tension of surviving monstrous horrors below with the satisfaction of building a complex, fully automated sci-fi factory above. Uncover secrets buried deep in this hostile world and fight to keep yourself alive.

  • Explore

    Venture into procedurally generated alien dungeons full of hidden minerals and lurking dangers. Each descent is unique and keeps you on edge.

  • Fight

    Face off against monstrous creatures that guard the depths. Use powerful firearms and stay alert: death can come quickly in the dark.

  • Mine & Harvest                                                                                                                                    

    Extract rare minerals with your mining tools and bring them back to the surface. Every haul fuels your expansion and pushes you deeper into the unknown.

  • Build & Automate

    Construct machines, conveyor belts and advanced processors to transform raw minerals into vital components. Set up intricate production lines and watch your lab grow into a sprawling automated factory.

  • Your robot is your inventory                                                                                                              

    Manage your limited resources carefully, both deep underground and back at your lab. With no on-screen UI to guide you, your robot is the only inventory you have. Build and customize it to fit your needs, and plan every descent to keep your operation running.
