New Horizons in Automation Gaming
Today marks an exciting development in the world of automation gaming as tobspr Games, the indie studio behind the successful factory-building game shapez, revealed footage of its much-anticipated sequel, shapez 2. This top-down automation game builds upon the beloved factory building experience of shapez, taking it to new heights with the introduction of all-new 3D visuals. Players can now construct their factories in multiple layers, offering a fresh and innovative gameplay experience.
Gameplay Details
For the first time since the game’s announcement, tobspr Games has presented an official trailer that gives a detailed look into the gameplay of its upcoming factory automation game. The main goal of this intriguing top-down game is to extract and process geometric shapes into more complex forms.
Each shape presents its own set of building blocks that factories can manipulate, disassemble, paint, and reassemble in countless ways. Through the successful production of distinct shapes and by overcoming various production challenges, players can unlock additional technologies. This allows for the creation of more complex shapes, necessary for progressing to subsequent targets. It’s all about learning, improving, and optimizing to design the most efficient shape production lines.
Building Upon Success
shapez 2 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, shapez, where players were tasked with building factories to automate the creation and processing of shapes. The first game was a hit, selling nearly 500,000 units on Steam and captivating over 10 million players through its online demo.
With more than 150,000 wishlists on Steam, shapez 2 has become one of the 150 most-wishlisted games on the platform. Fans of automation, logistics, train, and logic games are eagerly awaiting the chance to dive into this new installment.
Development and Features
tobspr Games received partial funding from the German government for the development of shapez 2, allowing founder Tobias Springer to expand his team and add more content to the already promising sequel.
The gameplay mechanics in shapez 2 are optimized to be more accessible and intuitive. Replayability is enhanced through the introduction of a new research tree, and features like trains, a blueprint library, and fluids have been added. What sets shapez 2 apart from its predecessor is the inclusion of all-new 3D visuals. Players can not only view the inner workings of the constructions but also build upon these layers, opening a whole new dimension of factory-building.
Shape the Future
shapez 2 promises to bring a new level of creativity and challenge to the world of automation gaming. With enhanced gameplay mechanics, a captivating 3D environment, and a host of new features, it’s shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the genre.
