Omega Crafter, the open-world survival crafting adventure developed by Preferred Networks, codes its way into Steam Next Fest this February, ahead of the Early Access launch Thursday, March 28, 2024.
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.
“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 Toru Nishikawa, co-founder and CEO of Preferred Networks. “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.”
Omega Crafter arrives on PC via Steam on Thursday, March 28, 2024. A limited-time public demo is available today until Tuesday, February 13th, 2024. For more information, visit the official website for Preferred Networks, and follow the Steam page for developer updates.
