The devilishly expansive Factorio, a video game about building a factory that simply gets larger and more automated the longer you decide to play the video game, was among the very first genuine success stories to come out of Steams Early Access program. Which its now, 8 years later, no longer a part of.
The game started development in 2012, raised money through an Indiegogo campaign in 2013 and hit Early Access in 2016. However it was only on Friday, August 14, 2020 that the game was lastly “launched” as version 1.0.
Heres the launch trailer if youve yet to see what the video games like:
In a great touch, the group launched a 2nd clip, which takes the video games Early Access trailer from 2016:
And updates it with 2020 visuals to reveal simply how far the video game has come by the years:
Ill need to go check it out! I remember playing it a few years back and, while I loved it, I also found myself growing more frightened of it the larger my factory got, and I think thatll still be the case given that … its the whole point of the game.
