Powerplay Development Update

Early Demo


We presented an early demo at the MGE expo beginning of summer. It was very well received and we got plenty of feedback that kept us busy all summer. We are getting ready to release another demo to a wider audience. If you are interested, don't hesitate to sign up on our website

Goodbye ThreeJS, Hello Unity steamhappy


Everyone who saw the demo assumed that the game was made with Unity. The game has always been in ThreeJS. Things were great when I was prototyping. However, as the game became more complex, I spent much time working on tools and the game engine. I built an entire editor from scratch, and many tools to support prefabs and ECS workflow. I worked a lot on the engine, in particular for pathfinding, but also on things that people take for granted, such as particle systems and collision detection.
This is no dunk on ThreeJS, which is a fantastic and reliable framework for graphic programming. But video games need workflow tools and a whole set of features which a graphic framework is simply lacking. So In June, I made the difficult decision to switch to Unity. I'm happy to report that things went very well! At this point, I'm 100% back to working on gameplay. steamhappy

Gameplay Update


I worked on making the conveyor belt mechanic more accessible. During the MGE expo, many people struggled to build their industrial chain, which is a shame. We had a free-form definition of conveyors and it was difficult to control the flow of resources once the conveyors were in place. The new conveyor system uses pathfinding to generate optimal connections between buildings. It's also possible to filter which resources go on a conveyor and to start/stop a conveyor. My wife thinks this new system is good, which is a great sign!

Next Demo


We are working hard on making a new demo. I can confirm that it will include sandbox mode and you will be able to create your own maps. But my main goal is to nail the single-player experience. This is the next big milestone for this game. We are excited about it and we will try to share more development updates along the way. Thank you all for your support.

In Powerplay, you will manage the economy and the military strategy of an industrial nation. Make sure to defend your assets and conquer new lands. Define your way to survival in the finite, merciless world of Powerplay.

Build, equip, and deploy huge armies using the resources and technology you've developed. Expand your territory or defend your strongholds. Every decision matters, from choosing which weapons to produce to leveraging terrain and supply lines.

Building efficient supply chains is the backbone of Powerplay. Design and optimize networks of conveyor belts to transport raw materials to factories, where they’re transformed into intermediate resources and weapons. The challenge lies in balancing resource allocation and space management.

Extract and refine uranium to unlock game-changing weapons. This is a long process in which you are vulnerable to fatal disruptions. Still, if you can efficiently control your nuclear production you will have a massive advantage in the end game.

A core feature in this game is resource locality. There is no global inventory. You must strategically extract, process, and transport resources to expand your base. You must create supply lines and protect them to maintain control of the land.
