  • MINE, BUILD, DOMINATE — MAIN SEQUENCE LAUNCHES TODAY: YOUR INTERSTELLAR FACTORY EMPIRE AWAITS

    MINE, BUILD, DOMINATE — MAIN SEQUENCE LAUNCHES TODAY: YOUR INTERSTELLAR FACTORY EMPIRE AWAITS

    The stars are calling — and your industrial empire starts with one small ship. Main Sequence, the highly anticipated first-person space-sim factory builder from Tumbling Dumpling Studio and publisher Mythwright, blasts into Steam Early Access today, 12 November 2026. It’s time to leave your mark on the galaxy — one conveyor belt, one refinery, one star system at a time.

    FROM ASTEROIDS TO INTERSTELLAR INDUSTRY

    You begin alone at the edge of known space, aboard a humble mining ship adrift in a resource-rich asteroid belt. There’s no grand empire waiting for you — just raw rock and the quiet hum of your engines. Your mission is simple in concept, vast in scope:

    Mine resources ? refine materials ? build factories ? automate production ? expand across star systems ? defend your legacy

    What starts as manual mining quickly evolves into sprawling space stations connected by automated supply routes. Design every module of your ships and stations — inside and out — then save your blueprints and share them with the galaxy.

    FACTORY BUILDING — BUT WITH A COSMIC TWIST

    Main Sequence blends the satisfying flow of games like Factorio and Satisfactory with immersive first-person exploration and deep-space logistics:

    • Build anywhere — Construct stations in orbit, on asteroid surfaces, or drifting in deep space
    • Full automation — Conveyor belts, refineries, and automated supply fleets keep your economy humming while you explore
    • Design your fleet — Every ship is custom-built. Cargo capacity, reactors, engines, weaponry — you decide module by module
    • CO-OP CAMPAIGN — Team up online or over LAN, each player captaining their own vessel. Divide roles: one manages logistics, another explores, a third patrols the trade routes. The bigger your crew, the grander your ambitions
    • DEFEND YOUR OPERATIONS — Your industrial growth hasn’t gone unnoticed. An ancient alien defence network has woken up — and it’s targeting your expansion. Build weapons, patrol fleets, and defensive platforms to protect what’s yours
    • EXPLORE PROCEDURAL STAR SYSTEMS — Black holes, neutron stars, derelict stations, and rare resources await in every new sector

    WHAT’S IN THE EARLY ACCESS VERSION?

    The roadmap ahead promises new factions, expanded ship and station modules, richer production chains, and deeper mysteries across the galaxy — all shaped by the community growing alongside the game.

    THE TECHMASH TAKE

    Factory simulators meet space exploration — it’s a dream combination that feels obvious yet surprisingly rare. Main Sequence nails the core appeal: that hypnotic rhythm of watching a well-oiled production line do its work, then strapping on your thrusters and soaring out to claim the next system. The first-person perspective makes every station feel like a place you actually inhabit, not just a blueprint on a screen.

    Co-op changes everything too — running a shared logistics network across multiple star systems with friends opens up possibilities that simply aren’t there solo. Whether you’re a solo industrialist or part of a four-strong orbital corporation, there’s a universe here waiting for you to build it up — and protect it.

    Main Sequence is available right now on Steam. Grab your pickaxe, fire up your thrusters — the void is calling, and it’s time to get to work.

  • CLING, BUILD, SURVIVE — WALL WORLD STRATEGY CLIMBS OUT TODAY ON PC

    CLING, BUILD, SURVIVE — WALL WORLD STRATEGY CLIMBS OUT TODAY ON PC

    Developer and publisher Alawar has officially launched Wall World Strategy, a unique vertical colony-building sim set on the surface of an infinite, towering Wall. It’s out right now on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store — with a 10% launch discount running for the first two weeks.


    THE WALL AWAITS

    The Wall stretches endlessly upward — humanity’s last refuge. Your job? Take a tiny outpost and transform it into a thriving, self-sustaining colony clinging to a sheer vertical surface. Every building, every resource, every colonist matters — because up here, one mistake can send everything tumbling.

    WHAT YOU’LL DO

    • Build vertically — plan your base across the Wall’s face, expanding upwards and outwards
    • Manage your people — keep colonists fed, happy, and safe; unrest and shortages can bring down even the strongest outpost
    • Defend the climb — fend off waves of the Zyrex, hostile creatures that emerge from the depths to tear your settlement apart
    • Deploy robo-spiders — send specialised machines into uncharted sectors to mine resources, uncover relics, and map the unknown
    • Research & evolve — unlock new tech, improve production, strengthen defences, and dig deeper into the Wall’s ancient mysteries
    • Play your way — Sandbox Mode lets you build and experiment without time pressure or story constraints

    “The Core is ready to awaken. Step out, take on the role of a settlement overseer — constantly battling against the Zyrex, the harsh environment, and settlement crises.” — Alawar

    LAUNCH OFFER

    • Out now — Steam, GOG & Epic Games Store
    • 10% off for the first two weeks
    • Also available in several bundles, including the original Wall World at up to 25–30% off
    • Full Windows & macOS support, 11 languages, and Steam Achievements included

    It’s a fresh twist on the colony sim formula — one where gravity itself is your biggest constraint. Start small, climb high, and don’t look down.

  • SPELLS, SWARMS, AND A GROWING PARADISE — WIELDERS OF THE ESSENCE LAUNCHES ON STEAM

    SPELLS, SWARMS, AND A GROWING PARADISE — WIELDERS OF THE ESSENCE LAUNCHES ON STEAM

    Lavapotion and Coffee Stain Publishing have officially released Wielders of the Essence, a spellbinding fusion of bullet-heaven action, incremental progression, and base-building — and it’s already earning Very Positive reviews from players.

    SHORT, SWEET, SATISFYING — THE PERFECT RUN

    The pitch is beautifully simple: eight-minute runs, eight hours to complete. Each adventure sends you into procedurally generated maps across distinct biomes — swamps, icy Vanir lands, and sun-scorched Barya deserts — where you:

    • Cast devastating spells and command loyal troops against endless hordes of enemies
    • Loot and level on the fly, growing stronger with every kill
    • Harvest resources to carry back to your settlement
    • Fall? No problem. Death isn’t failure — it’s part of the cycle. Every run advances your town and unlocks permanent power

    FROM PUDDLE TO PARADISE

    The heart of the game beats between battles. Resources you gather fuel your settlement’s growth:

    • Buildings unlock everything — new spells, troop types, powerful abilities, and even additional playable characters
    • Six unique Wielders to discover and master, each with their own playstyle
    • Permanent progression means every improvement stays with you, turning a humble puddle into a thriving magical hub
    • Difficulty evolves — conquer the campaign, then tackle harder modes and new challenges as they unlock

    A TASTE OF SONGS OF CONQUEST

    Set in the same rich fantasy universe as Lavapotion’s beloved Songs of Conquest, this spin-off brings familiar creatures and lore to a fresh, fast-paced genre. You play as a spell-slinging Wielder — including an intrepid frog mage — leading your forces against encroaching darkness. The game stands entirely on its own while rewarding fans with returning faces and places.

    OUT NOW — PRICING & DETAILS

    Wielders of the Essence launched 5 November 2026 on Steam for PC and macOS:

  • HULL INTACT, DECK DRAWN — FATHOM REACH SURFACES: DIVE INTO THE UNDERWATER ROGUELIKE DECKBUILDER OUT NOW ON STEAM

    HULL INTACT, DECK DRAWN — FATHOM REACH SURFACES: DIVE INTO THE UNDERWATER ROGUELIKE DECKBUILDER OUT NOW ON STEAM

    Beneath the surface of a drowned, broken world, every choice is a question of depth — and survival. Independent developer Feldsparc has officially launched Fathom Reach, the atmospheric underwater roguelike deckbuilder, into Early Access on Steam — inviting players to dive, battle, loot, and build their way through a sunken ocean where one bad run could leave your hull on the seabed.


    ONE DIVE, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

    Fathom Reach drops you into the cockpit of a submersible in a ruined ocean where civilisation has slipped beneath the waves. Every run is a fresh descent: you chart your path downward, battle threats old and new, chain devastating card combos, and face the game’s defining tension — push deeper for richer rewards, or surface while your hull still holds.

    Go too far, and you lose everything. Make it back with your haul, and you return stronger. That is the heartbeat of Fathom Reach: risk and reward, measured in depth and deck power.

    CARDS THAT CHANGE THE CURRENT

    At the core of the game lies a deep deckbuilding system with more than 220 unique cards spread across four distinct factions. Build around impenetrable armour that converts damage into striking power, corrosion effects that eat away at enemy hulls, swarms of relentless drones, or precision strikes on marked targets — and mix and match to craft your perfect playstyle.

    Between runs, Dive Modules let you reshape and refine your deck, so no two descents ever feel the same. Experiment, adapt, and discover devastating combos — one flawless sequence of cards can turn a desperate defence into a crushing victory.

    THREE WAYS TO DESCEND

    Choose your challenge:

    • Open Descent — the classic experience: explore, adapt, and push as far as you dare
    • Endless Descent — no floor, no ceiling; just you, your deck, and an ever-escalating gauntlet
    • Daily Signal — a shared, curated run where every player faces the same conditions: compare your score and your skill against the world

    BRING IT HOME — BASE BUILDING MEETS ASYNCHRONOUS PVP

    What you recover isn’t just for show. Return safely to the surface and you’ll spend your hard-won loot upgrading your submarine — boosting armour, shields, speed, and systems — and constructing your very own underwater base.

    This is where Fathom Reach sets itself apart: your base isn’t just a home — it’s a fortress. Lay traps, mount weapons, and design defences that other players will have to overcome when they dive against your domain. And when you’re ready, take your best deck and raid their bases in turn — proving your build can conquer what they’ve built.

    It’s a brilliant loop: dive to grow, build to defend, raid to conquer — all while you’re offline, your base stands watch, waiting for challengers.


    FROM THE DEPTHS TO YOUR SCREEN

    Feldsparc — the solo independent studio behind this ambitious project — has been refining Fathom Reach through demos and community feedback, including an enhanced showing during Steam Next Fest in October. Now, the game is live in Early Access, giving players the chance to shape its future alongside the developer.

    Fathom Reach is available now on Steam for PC — with support for multiple languages, including Simplified Chinese, and a free demo still available if you want to wet your fins before committing.

    “Beneath a ruined ocean, pushing your luck could earn you a better hull — or leave your current one on the ocean floor.”

  • Every Tile Counts — Packed Lair Unleashes Roguelike Base-Building Auto-Battler Chaos

    Every Tile Counts — Packed Lair Unleashes Roguelike Base-Building Auto-Battler Chaos

    Publisher Mystic Forge and indie studio Fables of Wits have officially launched Packed Lair — a razor-sharp fusion of roguelike strategy, Tetris-style base building, and auto-battler combat where clever placement is your greatest weapon. It’s out now on PC via Steam, and it’s every bit as addictive as it sounds.

    Build Tight, Fight Fierce

    You play as an evil lord commanding a cramped underground lair with one goal: squeeze maximum power out of minimum space. The twist? Every building has a unique shape — rotate it, slot it in, and watch as adjacent structures trigger powerful synergies, churn out resources, and spawn your monster army. There’s no wasted room here — every tile matters.

    The core loop is instantly gripping:

    • Draft & Pack — Choose from a fresh selection of buildings each round. Rotate and arrange them to unlock combos, buffs, and production bonuses
    • Auto-Battle — Your minions march out to face waves of invading heroes. Combat unfolds automatically, but you’re not just a spectator — cast spells to turn the tide, disrupt enemy formations, and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat
    • Adapt & Repeat — Each run brings new building options, fresh layouts, and unexpected challenges. No two lairs — and no two strategies — play the same way

    Where Strategy Meets Style

    Packed Lair distils deep tactical decision-making into tight, satisfying runs. It’s about seeing connections others miss — placing a shrine next to a barracks to supercharge your troops, slotting a mana generator beside a spellcaster to fuel devastating attacks, and turning a tiny cave into an unstoppable war machine. Whether you’re optimising layouts or timing a game-changing fireball, the game keeps you thinking fast and planning ahead.

    Out Now — Rule Your Lair Today

    Packed Lair is available right now on Steam for PC, released September 22, 2026. With its uniquely charming hand-drawn aesthetic, quick-to-learn-but-hard-to-master mechanics, and endless replayability, it’s a must-play for strategy fans and roguelike lovers alike.

    Space is limited. Your ambition isn’t — time to pack your lair and defend it.

  • Shell Sphere Studios Drops Gameplay Trailer for “The Infinite Expo” – A Next-Gen Roblox Survival Game

    Shell Sphere Studios Drops Gameplay Trailer for “The Infinite Expo” – A Next-Gen Roblox Survival Game

    Roblox is no stranger to the survival genre, but every so often, a project emerges that pushes the boundaries of what we expect from the platform. Enter Shell Sphere Studios and their newly revealed gameplay trailer for The Infinite Expo.

    This isn’t your typical “punch a tree to get wood” simulator. The Infinite Expo is leaning into a “Next-Gen” aesthetic, blending liminal space horror, procedural generation, and a surprisingly therapeutic building mechanic.


    Welcome to the Hall: What is The Infinite Expo?

    The premise is as unsettling as it is intriguing. Players are dropped into an infinitely generated, inorganic exhibition hall. Imagine a convention centre that never ends—a boundless maze of carpeted floors, fluorescent lights, and display booths.

    To survive, you won’t be mining ores. Instead, you’ll be scavenging scattered furniture, display fixtures, and office equipment to fortify your position within the endless halls.

    Key Features at a Glance

    • Infinite World Generation: A boundless, procedural environment that ensures no two expeditions feel the same.
    • ASMR “Snap-Building”: This is the game’s biggest hook. The trailer showcases a highly satisfying, grid-based construction system designed to be “fine-tunable” and therapeutic. Every piece locks in with a crisp sound effect, turning base-building into a zen-like experience.
    • Dynamic Enemy AI: You aren’t alone in the expo. Unknown threats roam the halls, forcing players to balance the calm of the building with the tension of survival.
    • Multiplayer Alliances: While you can go solo, the game encourages forming alliances to defend your territory from both AI threats and potential “griefer” players.
    • The “Protect System”: A unique upcoming mechanic mentioned in the press release, specifically designed to safeguard player creations.

    Out with the Old, In with the Infinite

    Interestingly, Shell Sphere Studios confirmed that their previously teased horror title, ZALAN, is officially on hold. The team has shifted all resources to The Infinite Expo to ensure it hits its ambitious quality marks.

    Judging by the trailer, the shift was worth it. The lighting and “liminal space” atmosphere give the game a high-fidelity look that rivals standalone indie titles on Steam, further proving that Roblox’s engine is capable of much more than blocky avatars and simple obbys.

    Release Window and Specs

    The Infinite Expo is currently slated for a Summer 2026 release.

    DetailSpecification
    GenreOpen-World Survival / Base Building
    PlatformRoblox (PC, Mobile, Tablet, Gamepad)
    PriceFree-to-Play (with in-game purchases)
    Release DateSummer 2026

    The TechMash Take:

    The Infinite Expo looks like a clever pivot for the Roblox survival scene. By leaning into the “liminal space” trend and focusing on high-quality “Snap-Building” mechanics, Shell Sphere Studios might just have the next viral hit on their hands. Keep an eye on this one as we head into the summer.

    What do you think of the “Infinite Expo” concept? Is the ASMR building enough to draw you in, or are you more interested in the survival horror elements? Let us know in the comments!

  • MicroProse Sets a Date: Dino-Survival RTS ‘Repterra’ Hits Steam This April

    MicroProse Sets a Date: Dino-Survival RTS ‘Repterra’ Hits Steam This April

    The legendary MicroProse is back in the publishing saddle, and their latest project is taking us back to the Mesozoic era—with a high-tech twist. Chute Apps and MicroProse have officially announced that Repterra, the highly anticipated base-building survival RTS, will launch into Early Access on April 28, 2026.

    If you’ve ever looked at They Are Billions and thought, “This needs more T-Rexes,” then Repterra is exactly the game you’ve been waiting for.


    Reclaiming a World Overrun

    Set in an alternate history where dinosaurs escaped captivity in the 1990s and essentially ended human civilisation, Repterra puts you in charge of humanity’s last-ditch effort to take back the planet.

    This isn’t just a simple strategy game; it’s a high-stakes survival experience where the environment is actively trying to eat your workforce. You’ll need to manage complex production lines, establish power grids, and build sprawling defences to hold back literally thousands of dinosaurs simultaneously.

    Key Features at Launch

    • Massive Scale: The game engine supports 100,000+ dinosaurs on screen at once while maintaining a smooth 60fps.
    • Tame, Breed, and Ride: You aren’t just killing dinos. You can capture them, breed them for specific genetic mutations, and even assign human units (soldiers, engineers, or tamers) to ride them into battle.
    • Three Unique Factions: Choose between factions that focus on resource management, advanced technology, or raw dinosaur taming power.
    • Hero Units: Deploy customizable hero units with unique active and passive abilities that can be upgraded over time.

    A Nod to the Classics

    Strategists will notice a distinct “classic RTS” vibe in the visuals and UI. The developers have cited legendary titles like Red Alert 2 as inspiration, featuring a timeless pre-rendered graphic style that looks sharp in 4K while maintaining that nostalgic isometric charm.

    “Repterra is officially launching into Early Access on April 28… the countdown begins!” — Chute Apps / MicroProse

    Get Ready for the Hunt

    With a demo already sitting on “100% Positive” reviews on Steam, the hype for Repterra is building fast. Whether you’re interested in the deep genetic breeding mechanics or just want to see how a Flak Cannon holds up against a swarm of Raptors, mark your calendars.

    Repterra arrives on PC via Steam on April 28. Are you ready to reclaim the Earth, or will you just be another snack for a Meganeura?


    Stay tuned to TechMash for more updates on MicroProse’s growing stable of strategy titles.

  • Cosmic Chaos and Custom Fleets: Why Stellar Warfare is the Space RTS You Need to Play

    Cosmic Chaos and Custom Fleets: Why Stellar Warfare is the Space RTS You Need to Play

    The Real-Time Strategy (RTS) genre is a timeless classic, but it takes a truly ambitious project to stand out in the crowded space-combat field. Enter Stellar Warfare, a game that is not just paying homage to the greats like Homeworld and Red Alert, but is also charting its own course with unique and deep mechanics.

    Developed largely as a passion project by a small team, this indie gem is proving that you don’t need a massive studio to deliver a stellar galactic conflict.


    What Makes Stellar Warfare So Compelling?

    At its core, Stellar Warfare is an old-school RTS experience—you harvest resources, build a base, and command a fleet to crush your enemies. However, it layers on features that elevate it far beyond a simple nostalgia trip.

    Deep, Modular Ship Customisation

    Forget pre-set unit lists. This is where Stellar Warfare truly shines. The game provides you with over 200 available ships, weapons, and modules to design your fleet from the hull up.

    • Design Your Killer: Want a swift, shielded frigate with long-range missiles? Or a lumbering capital ship stacked with laser batteries and armour? The ship editor is a tinkerer’s dream, allowing for a near-unlimited number of possible configurations.
    • Strategic Variety: This customisation means no two battles are the same. Victory often hinges on out-designing your opponent as much as out-manoeuvring them on the battlefield.

    Full 3D Space Combat

    Unlike many RTS games confined to a 2D plane, Stellar Warfare embraces the vastness of space with full 3D movement. Ships can attack from above, below, and all angles, transforming skirmishes into visually stunning, chaotic lightshows of laser fire and explosions.

    The sheer spectacle of a fully customised fleet engaging in a high-stakes 3D battle is a breathtaking experience that captures the cinematic feel of classic sci-fi.

    Classic Base-Building Meets Space Strategy

    The base-building elements borrow heavily from legends like Red Alert and Supreme Commander. You’ll construct:

    • Refineries and Power Plants to fuel your economy.
    • Defensive Turrets and Overshields to protect your critical infrastructure.
    • Shipyards to pump out your newly designed war machines.

    This familiar foundation makes the game instantly accessible to RTS veterans, while the 3D map adds a refreshing layer of spatial strategy to where and how you build.


    Game Modes to Test Every Commander

    Stellar Warfare offers a diverse set of modes to keep you engaged:

    Game ModeDescription
    SkirmishClassic RTS battle against the AI or human opponents.
    CampaignetteA small story-driven mode following the aftermath of “The Light.”
    Wave DefenseA challenging co-op or solo mode focused on base fortification and survival against endless enemy waves (a community-requested feature!).
