As a budding entrepreneur, you will build factories, construct efficient transport lines, move raw materials, produce finished goods, and arrange trade with the world's developing cities, providing them with the resources they need to flourish - for as they grow and prosper, so do you.
Designed with an eye towards both accessibility and depth, Rise of Industry has enough strategic complexity and replayability to satisfy the most experienced fans of the genre, while its simple-to-understand mechanics ensure that new players will love it as well.
Features
- Experience tailored for every player - Specialise in just trading, production, gathering or any combination and research your way to bigger and better things.
- Use PR & Marketing to gain favour (or repair damage) with your business partners.
- Choose from over 100 individual products and manage the manufacturing process from harvesting raw materials all the way to delivering the end product to local stores & townspeople
- Build and manage a solid transportation network to enable the efficient transfer of goods via plentiful trucks, speedy trains and high capacity airships.
- Be prepared for fierce competition – Advanced town and city A.I., make for an intelligent and changing game world so you won’t be the only one looking for the best deal.
- Town personalities – adapt a suitable approach for every town or face their economic backlash.
- Huge, procedurally generated maps mean that you’ll always have room to expand your empire into whether in testing scenarios or sandbox mode where imagination is your only limit.
- Be quick to adapt to the current business climate with contracts, random events and quests keeping you on your toes and cash flowing in.
- Balance environmental impact with productivity, trying to meet your neighbouring town's demands.
- Ever-changing biomes will present different environmental challenges as you aim to make the most out of the map - Lose potential oil reserves as polluted tundra melts into fields or fertile grassland wilts and dies into arid desert.
- Ready for global domination? Bend and break your friends into economic submission in multiplayer-mode*
9 people and 56 energy drinks later, we present to you patch 0.5.1!
Want to start by saying that we've personally have been checking every single review, thread, tweet and let's play to gather as much feedback as possible to make this first patch a clear message about how we intend to develop this game. We are always watching and reading, as we believe Early Access is about developer and player interaction, so there can be a strong exchange of thoughts and feedback to improve. If not, what's the point? Sell a few copies and run? Nah...
We're here to resurrect our childhood love: Industry Giant, and bring it to this decade. For that, we need your help, so keep those threads and videos coming! Of course, we would like to make all of the changes now, but bear with us, some take longer than others. Throughout Early Access (and after full release where necessary) we will keep tweaking and improving the overall gameplay experience.
But for now, please sit back and check out these changes (especially in the new wholesalers and tech tree changes), as a lot might change the way you have to play.
Now need to sleep for 3 or 4 days straight. Enjoy the weekend!
Note: this patch will break your saves. If you want to continue on patch 5.0, I created a beta branch just for you! (might have to restart Steam to see it) http://prntscr.com/ifouaz
