Techtonica

The studio actually closed down almost immediately after the "full release" which radically changed the game from what was previously being tested. All their social media etc gone just dropped the game and closed. Likely a failure in management (also probably why the entire game changed in the last patch cause they could not support further development so they just sent the YOLO). Def do not purchase this product. tbh it had good bones, but without further development it is NOT worth the price... maybe at the most $5 for the current content... mayyyybeee..

Abandonné et laissé pour mort. À sa sortie Techtonica démontrait déjà quelques inconsistances et de très gros problèmes d'optimisation. Aujourd'hui les dernières mises à jours qui ont été effectuées (il y a longtemps) montrent que le studio n'a pas su bien prioriser les fonctionnalités importantes. Dans l'idée Techtonica est une tentative de mélange de Subnautica et automatisation, le tout remasterisé à la sauce caverne. Si la partie subnautica est correcte sans plus, c'est la partie automatisation qui pèche pas mal que ce soit en termes de comfort ou en termes d'équilibrage. Étant donné qu'on ne peut pas attendre de correctifs ou d'évolution, je ne recommanderais pas ce titre en dépit du fait que tout ne soit pas à jeter.

It's better than Satisfactory and I'm mad about it. Got this on a whim and it opened a hunger in me for conveyor-belt-games that was nowhere near satisfied by the functional end of this game. I've thus, out of necessity, gone on to try a string of other similar games but nothing hits the same and no matter how many hours in whatever I put in I keep finding myself thinking about how Techtonica did it better in whatever way and wishing I had more new to play. Even things that annoyed me at first (like having to transfer items from belts to machines via grabbers) now I look back on with wistful melancholy. Please make more of this game or make other games like it it's just Very Good.

This is not the most polished game. It has some performance issues and some clunkiness in the second half, but overall it's a very solid factory game. Considering the price, if you like automation games, you'll probably not regret playing this one

Was a good game in the early access before 1.0 launch but after that it went down hill. Most of my hours hours where in early access, with only about 10-15 played during launch, if that. At launcher the game went from a large open world to small pieces of the old world divide into floors to make the game seem to have more content then it really does. They then added steps that take time to get to the next levels. Finally the last few levels are just there to waste your time, and bloat our your in-game time. Hours of just stand there waiting for draining process to complete, and if it every stops the area will start fill up again. Really feels like they ran out of funds, rapidly cut up the original first floor and the upcoming 2nd floor in small pieces, time gates it all, and through in the ending to avoid leaving it in abandoned early access, so they can say they "launched" it.

This was a really fun game, back in early access! Most of my playtime is from pre-1.0, which was good enough to get me to keep coming back despite its share of flaws that I had [i]assumed[/i] would have been ironed out by the time of the full release- it had good bones and a ton of potential! Unfortunately, the 1.0 version is largely an objective downgrade in a lot of ways, with some of the desired QoL from pre-release never being performed & some major changes utterly wrecking the pace and feeling of progression... and then, allegedly according to the internet (most sources cite things like "the devs said on the game's discord," which I don't use, so idk), the studio closed down shortly after release & the game was abandoned. The biggest shame so far, in my opinion, is that game's main map went from a large, open-world affair where you could more or less tunnel freely from location to location, to each area being split up into different levels that must be accessed via a new central elevator system that requires a constant flow of resources just to slowly "dig" to each one, painfully increasing the time it takes to progress while drastically reducing the variability in builds sinc…
