NEW Automation Game!! - Block Factory - Factory Builder Management Base Builder

[@greece5055]

Damn the Shapez 2 modding scene is crazy

[@equitime77]

Lego and shapez have a baby and this is it

[@SourceSdkCeribrox]

While it does look and play like shapes 2, its different enough to be a really enjoyable game honestly. I booted up the demo and played roughly 11 hours! It also has a FANTASTIC custom model builder, that you can then generate a world containing everything you would need to set up a production chain for your custom build. Genius!

[@blockshift758]

People hating on this because the game play is very similar to shapez. And i can see that. the timing of this game coming out is pretty unfortunate because shapez 2 came out at basically the same time. Shapez isn't the first one to do a "thing" building factory game. Yes it could have been inspired but the gameplay is still different.

[@hexenhammer483]

as a person that played Shapez and Shapez 2 I'm digging this game. In response to its just a copy? Then don't play any looter shooter other than Hellgate: London. It came out in 2007. Borderlands came out in 2009.

[@m0rjjj666]

I agree. If a game has a good UI, smooth gameplay, and a different "skin" why hate it?

[@-JustHuman-]

Man Hellgate London was so good back then, still remember that setting.

[@Not_Fanch]

@@-JustHuman- It was bugged as hell on launch though :p

[@-JustHuman-]

@ubif4nch120 not that bad compared to today

[@vl4dl3n]

Didn't played Hellgate: London, but it looks like Doom`s copy, slightly retextured) But Borderlads has its own vibe, its style and story)

[@kirbyone]

Shapez-like has become a genre and that's ok

[@baconcow]

Shapez is just a Factorio-like.

I see a red brick and want it painted black. The Rolling Stones playing Block Factory

[@HumanShield117]

For some reason, this just makes me want to play Zachtronics' Infinifactory.

[@bahamut256]

Delicious food pellets.

[@keepinitbeef2]

2024 is the year of the factory game. I do not have time for all of these!!!

[@Sandro_de_Vega]

This game looks fun AF. I already see how dificult task could be in late game.

[@SumSouuthernSugar]

Well done. Thanks.

[@mytasmic]

I love Lego and I have to say that "glueing" and "sloping" bricks is morally wrong and overall disgusting.

[@SuperMurxus]

Klemmbausteine! Very important difference. Lego is a trademarked and jealously protected property of The LEGO Group. If they smell anyone daring to use uniform, standardized blocks that can connect they will send their ghoulish lawyers who will hunt you down like hellhounds!

[@Lavoye]

It looks like it's much easier then creating a MaM in Shapez2. Looking to challenge myself in that type of game, and this one looks like a kids version of Shapez 2.

[@BririanLife]

i saved it to my wishlist

[@protoborg]

It has a lot in common with Shapez 2 or Beltomatic.

[@Kaladin-u4c]

Wishlisted it quickly AF

[@TitoRigatoni]

I really hate that the bluebird is an illegal build; the beak is glued on, there are no studs holding it. 😐

[@SimonWoodburyForget]

That's to prevent Lego from suing them for trademark violation. ;)

[@ProstoLyubo]

A mindblowing idea for a game :o

[@devilofether6185]

is it possible to delete the factory once the objective is complete, or do you need a constant stream of finished products?

[@SourceSdkCeribrox]

Constant stream of finished products

[@devilofether6185]

@@SourceSdkCeribrox I actually played the beta soon after I made that comment. Unless it has been updated, you seem to be able to delete the factory once the objective is completed

[@SourceSdkCeribrox]

@@devilofether6185 technically yes, but if you are going for the stars, they will go away once you cut off production.

[@sweburner]

Please, the beak is one piece because it is one beak... The feet are two pieces because there are two feet. 🙄 Lego is low poly, not crap. :p

[@vl4dl3n]

:D That was funny moment)

[@vl4dl3n]

Is there a way to unlock islands that cost 5 bricks? Or its really "end of demo" :(

[@Deathwish026]

oooo this has big potential.

[@darknetworld]

Oh cool. Base on other game... XD!

[@whyyoulooking-e6q]

i like lego

[@jeffbenson3222]

Looks cool - but SO much like Shapez 2 that I almost can't believe it . . .

[@wildtj4714]

genious

Juegazo me tiene viciao, hay una manera de desbloquear todos los mapas, en Steam en discusión, hay un comentario de como desbloquear todos los mapas, en un mapa tienes que hacer el Titanic!

[@betipisek]

COPY from shapes 2 :D

[@Singularity-1717]

Shapez 3

[@vl4dl3n]

Its more like Shapez 1.5 Especially with that uncomfortable controls, which wasn't explained in tutorial But game still cool.

[@PauperJ]

Comrade-Dictator Potato is back! We were all concerned, Comrade, that those silly Westerners captured you and sent you to a Democracy 3, or 4 country, and had you as their "President." We knew that you'd come back and continue our exciting potatoistic communist living. Thank you. I'll get back to my 22-hour shift in the OP-144 factory now. Please bring back the Workers & Resources series, Comrade. Thank you. 9-year subscriber.

Shapez Copy 😂

[@mortuos557]

Lego shapez

[@jakubpollak2067]

Copy? Shapez has cutting, stacking and coloring that's it This has machines that need configuration and more interesting processes I played Shapez 1 and when I saw Shapez 2 being same, I was kinda let down But this looks nice, I am interested!

[@snowis4010]

@@jakubpollak2067 its a copy

[@jakubpollak2067]

@@snowis4010 It adds more than shapez has, so it is inspired by that, but it is not carbon copy or asset flip at all They have campaign, maps, levels, meta progression While Shapez is one large random map Could you please argue with something more that "copy"?

[@snowis4010]

@@jakubpollak2067 For me its a copy .

[@PoliticalHumorAndTruth]

Today it is almost ridiculously easy to take another game and use AI to strip out logic and code and create and use that to build up something similar.

[@jakubpollak2067]

Do you have some proof of that statement? I find it hard to believe it is that easy

[@theral056]

@@jakubpollak2067 Of course he does not have proof because that's ridiculous. AI gets very confused very fast with larger projects, a game like this is way beyond it's abilities. That said, recreating a game like shapez2 (or a stripped down version at least) would not be overly complex for any studio or talented programmer. You could create a product good enough for early access within a few months, but reaching the same level of polish and performance would take quite a bit of effort and most of all time.

[@PauloHellChaos]

garbage...

Why?
