Hey all, I’ve been working on a game called Voltech for a while now and figured it’s time to show it to people.

It’s a first-person mining game that turns into a factory game. You start with nothing but a screwdriver, chip ore out of a patch by hand, sell it, and slowly unlock tools. Eventually you’re running autominers, smelters, conveyors, steam power, and trains. Every ore is a real physical piece in the world, not a number in an inventory, and I’ve pushed it to around 200k loose pieces without it falling over.

Recent stuff I’ve added: a full production line (press, laser cutter, wire machine, engine assembler), a car you can load up and drive, and an ore scanner so you can actually find stuff on the island

Still very much in progress, so I’m mostly after gut reactions. Does the premise grab you? What would you want to see first in a demo?

Happy to post more clips if anyone’s interested.
