Dive into an unfinished open-world video game under attack by a malicious program.
Open-world survival crafting adventure game Omega Crafter will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam on March 28, developer Preferred Netwroks announced. A limited-time public demo will be available from today until February 13.
“Robots are becoming increasingly more commonplace in industries and homes each day, and we are excited to share a game where automation is at the foundation of the experience,” said Preferred Networks co-founder and CEO Toru Nishikawa in a press release. “Omega Crafter takes an easy-to-use approach to programming by, resulting in an enjoyable experience for everyone that is as simple or as complex as one desires.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Preferred Networks:
As the most talented engineer on a development team, dive first-hand into an unfinished open-world video game under attack by a malicious program. If left unchecked, the rogue executable will prevent the team from reaching their target release date. Alongside the trusted in-game sidekick known as Grammi, build flourishing cities and vanquish powerful enemies to expel the evil malware before launch day.
Grammi is the ultimate companion—a programmable sidekick with an arsenal of helpful talents. Select Grammi’s pre-made automation settings for assistance gathering raw materials and harvesting crops, or drag-and-drop custom scripts into place for completely custom behavior patterns. With the right settings, Grammi can turn trees into wood, and then immediately turn that wood into shelter — all with the press of a button!
Explore the unknown while Grammi builds and maintains a bustling society (or vice versa). Voyage through the Beginning Grasslands and the never-ending Inexhaustible Wilderness, each with their own resources, enemies, and bosses. At launch, venture through the fog-filled Halloween Forest featuring fearsome new foes to battle, spooky dungeons, additional building types, new items, and more.
Traverse towering mountain tops, crystal-clear lakes, and underground dungeons full of hidden secrets. Adventure awaits solo explorers and exploration committees alike. Fight and build alongside Grammi in single player mode, or conquer the procedurally-generated unknown while constructing massive cities with up to six friends in online multiplayer.
