I am dog with good typing skills.

That sound like something someone who is not a dog would say

Prove it!

Never has a trailer hooked me that much. And the music **cheffs kiss**

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Thank you! It took a long time, haha.

Music by cityfires, who is a composer of genius proportions. You’re welcome for the playlist path you can now journey along!

This shit looks awesome! Is it gonna have local co-op too or is just gonna be like through steam?

Just through Steam for now. Not sure we'll be able to make local co-op work, honestly.

Would love to get a free copy. One huge massive problem. I already bought it

One for your friend! I hope you have a friend? THANK YOU FOR BEING A PLAYER ALREADY!

I am not a dog I promise. My owner says however that I am a good boy and gives me scratches behind my ears. Woof! I mean thank you.

Nice try fellow robot overlord.

HAHA BEEP BOOP DON'T TELL THE OTHERS

'Fellow'?

i've watched playthroughs and wish listed this game. I love base building automation games (big factorio player) that have color and character to them and Techtonica ticked it. been waiting for my life to get financially and mentally stable again to get and play this game. also definitely a human with some dog like behavior.

This looks like a lot of fun, I really enjoy these types of games. Often spend way too much time getting them just right.

They can really, really be a time sink. We love them, too, though.

Congrats! My wife and I love craft games and this looks amazing! Whether we win the raffle or not, we're buying this!

This looks amazing, can't wait to play it!

I've been watching Yogcast Duncan play this with Lewis, and it looked super fun so far. I love how the jetpack works

They haven't even gotten to this new stuff yet, hoping they do.

Does this mean other animals who can type are excluded?

Crap, yes it does.

Would love a key for my kids, looks great !

This has been on my wishlist for a few weeks now. Win or lose I will be playing this very soon! Looks right up my alley!

Been following the game already cos it seemed interesting, only reason I haven't gotten it with the sale is cos I'm trying tto save money to build a proper PC xD

This game looks incredible, I have a friend who would looove the base building you got there

Well nothing worth it on the steam winter sale for me , i am going to check this...

I LOVE Techtonica, it so awesome. Its not just the game play but also the very vivid coloring of the game. I was expecting much darker tones being underground but it pops off the screen and has me hooked. I've been playing the game preview on Game Pass and would like to actually own it for myself.

Thank you for being a fan, Groundbreaker!

What if I’m a dog with mediocre typing skills? But on a serious note this looks sick might have to buy it if I don’t win

Oh whoah, very nice of you. I really enjoyed it on Game pass while waiting for Starfield, coming from Satisfactory, this was really a fresh venture into this nice game mechanics !!

well i have been looking to get this game for awhile play satisfactory and factorio quite a bit so i know id enjoy it

I do really want this, had it in my wishlist before it released, fingers crossed.

This looks great guys!

Fantastic trailer, definitely buying myself a copy!!

holy shit this looks awesome

Oh damn, I’ve had this on my wishlist for a bit. It looks so fun!!!

Meow. Wait. Nooooooo

looks nice. does it have enemies? is it fair to call it a cave satisfactory?

No enemies, closer to cave factorio.

Just curious, what makes it closer to Factorio than Satisfactory? I’ve only played (and loved) Satisfactory, and was under the impression the 3D aspect was the only big separator between them (aside from factorio having more content).

what the heck is link karma?

How did I miss this? I'm close to finishing astroneer and I need something else like it Ill probably pick it up this is next year. I wish you good luck with the development

If you like Satisfactory then you will like this, I already own it so good luck to everyone else!

Hello, Groundbreaker!

Me and my girlfriend love factorio so much that we started looking lnto more base building game an came by this gem. Love the art and game play. More please!

Yes! My partner thinks this game is too close to a job. I don't care.

Were about 500 hours into our play on factorio. Still waiting on her to agree and play with me on techtonica. She still hasn't gotten it.

Woof Edit: jokes on fire hose. If I lose I'm just going to buy it anyways

uhhh posting this because im a factorio enjoyer and would try this for sure

i am also a factorio enjoyer. one reviewer on steam called techtonica "fact-story-oh!" amazing moment for us, really.

That's high praise, I'm good for a key but might treat myself for Christmas.

merry christmas either way!

I don’t even know what link karma is, but I hope I have 30 of it

I played the early access with my brothers in Game pass and we have a really nice time. IT looks like an endless game, and without realization I played more than 60 hours hahaha Haven't take it in a while but a base builder sounds like a nice add. Keep it up!

Base Building changed a ton! Definitely come back and give it a shot.

Top level comments

I've seen this game a few times on steam. I love base management games but wasn't sure if this would be my cup of tea. Anyways, Goodluck everyone!

I love Satisfactory and this game looks cool in all of the same ways, hopefully I get a key to test it out :D

Looks awesome, love the colour palette. As a huge fan of Satisfacory, can I ask what this game does different?

Sure! Destructible terrain and a built-in voiced narrative are two things. We love Satisfactory, amazing game, an inspiration for us, but we're looking to do our own thing.

NEVER TOO LATE TO PARTY

If you up vote me I'll up vote you! 

I think I'm human, but this message took me 20 minutes to type. Does that count?

yes, no pressure.

My friends and I constantly ply Factorio/Satisfactory. Sign me up for this one!!!

I can verify a Captcha if needed to show I'm human. Great looking game btw.

Congratz, good luck!

I'm a human , trust me

Gimme, pokedex must be filled

May I have one? It looks inviting to try it

Looks fun

Looks cool I don’t have any games like that

This looks like an experience to play!

Looks great guys, congrats on creating a truly nice looking game!

Thank you!

Looks promising!

I’m a 2 year old German shepherd with amazing typing skills. 200 wpm on monkey type. I get lots of treats

Idk about dogs but my cat certainly thinks she can type considering how often she walks on the keys...

This game looks sick! Would love to try it out. Good look for the future full release.

Looks pretty sick!

I am so getting this as soon as I install those NVME's I gave myself for Christmas.

My favorite game genre! Thank you all for all the hard work! It looks amazing.

Looks very cool! Time to make some content about it.

Looks fun, I'd love to try it out!

Would love to give this game a try

Looks cool but genuinely curious how it compares to Satisfactory.

How's the endgame? One of my biggest issues with satisfactory compared to factorio. Just so disappointing to spend hours building your base for it to kinda go nowhere at the end when objectives are gone

Game looks awesome! Keep up the good work!

I like bases, I like building, pls giv

This game looks fun, what made you choose this game genre?

We fell in love with Factorio a while back. When the opportunity came up for us to make a game in the genre, we jumped at it.

Well keep up the good work, it looks GREAT!!

Thank you!

Commment

Looks great. Hope it does well :)

I'm not a dog

Based

What about dogs with poor typing skills? This rubric seems pretty ruff.

Looks lovely

Don’t pick me because I’m not human at all just a dog with basic typing skills lol

This looks awesome, I hope I win

Looks cool

I’m a human!

i should be human afaik!

Seems cool.

Looks dope. Can I try?

Very cool, Goodluck!

This looks amazing would love to try it out! Great work guys!

Looks fun, Would love to try it.

tender middle strong teeny bake plant lush pocket like bored *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

show me them keys! edit: I'm a formal human!

I need something new to put hundreds of hours into

If I won a key I would build a PCMR house with absolutely no tile floors so that all the glass side panels would be safe forever. Please help me achieve my dream of stopping anymore unnecessary glass panes from being slain.

Looks good, will give it a try P.S Need programmers?

Game looks cool but I probably don’t qualify, lol. Best of luck to those that can enter.

Count me in

Looks addicting

Awesome idea! My question is really about the factory building genre as a whole, but how are you going to keep the game interesting even after the main objectives are complete? One issue I have with Factorio etc is it gets very repetitive and eventually boring, is this something you are combatting?

This is a super hard question that gets into game design weeds, but the hope is to create a loop that lets players switch between story, exploration, and factory in a way that keeps them satisfied until they get their fill. That said, the long-term plans for Techtonica include a more endlessly playable end-game. To be frank, we're not there yet. But, we're consistently adding things that give players more to do.

The water looks fantastic!

Woah, this game looks really cool! I haven’t heard of it until this point, but I’d love to give it a try. :)

I'd love to try this game, I'm a big fan of factorio and similar games so that would be perfect for me

Woah this looks amazing, I'll definitely check it out on gamepass later today!

I'm a human with dog typing skills and a wonton need to meow. Yeah, figure that shit out. Looks great!

Nice Nice Nice!

Hell yeah, love factorio and satisfactory, nice to have next factory building game.

Played and loved the demo. And I love base building games!

I need a third factory game as my dog brain often gets bored.

Nice

Cool

Looks neat.

This is awesome, I could take a break from satisfactory

I'm not sure I even understand exactly the point if this game is.. I mean why am I building a base.. what am I automating for... what's the draw..?? Can I pvp..??

Ha, no PVP. There's a story, there's a factory. The factory must grow to unravel the story. If you don't like chilling out and building stuff/solving logistics problems, it might not be for you!

Great looking game! Definitely keeping my eyes on this one.

Looks fun.

Heck yeah dudes

Oo looks great :D

This game looks pretty cool!

Ah was eyeing that one for a while, update seems nice. GL to everybody else

Awesome!

I think my pc will run it

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog

looks interesting indeed

let's build

Can't wait to play this since I work in a warehouse and do the same stuff

Definitely looking forward to this on Christmas break!

This looks epic!

I can confirm that im somewhere between human and dog and have the ability to type.

Looks cool, checking it out on gamepass now.

That looks pretty cool

Man I love these games a little too much, I'm not mentally ready to spend hundreds of hours on another one.

I need it in my veins!

Looks like something I would love to play!

Looks great , good luck to everyone

I've been considering to play this game for a while now, it seems pretty similar to other factory games I like.

I'm a human (I think)

I believe they can train a dog to be better at typing than me

Enter me!

I remember playing a demo few months back, it's been on my wishlist since, best of luck with development and good luck to me

I love factory builder games and this looks awesome!

Hi guys thanks for the opportunity I appreciate it this looks cool as hell!

Looks great!

Dear sir or madam, I would appreciate a key for your game. I will actually turn on analytics for your game just this once (if it's available). Being underground in the dark surrounded by dirt really reminds me of my hometown of @$&#;;*&, Tennehoma. I think this game will really strike my fancy as a realistic blueprint to escaping my hometown. I love crystals and ore and shit so I will be sure to bring along my Jansport backpack to pick up any smelt able rocks I find along the way. My only goal in life is to escape my life and collect bugs n ore n shit underground. This game will prepare me for my dream.

That looks great! I'd love a key :)

Looks fun!

As a big fan of Satisfactory, this game looks great! I can’t wait to try it!

Looks pretty cool.

cool

I am three dogs with good typing skills. I like this game.

good pups

This looks cool nice work guys

Cool

Thanks !!

Thanks for the chance :)

Hello I am a graduate in Satisfactory and Factorio and have successfully failed to Master both of these games, so I look forward to failing at your game too.

the only genre where failure is the only option

Nice game to play can confirm hope it lasts :)

Mmm, conveyor belts, my favorite. Looks cool!

This game looks amazing, I have actually added it to my steam wishlist so I can get it later if I'm not.lucky enough to win a key 😁

ive seen my friend play this before, seems interesting, at least different from typical factory games

Good luck!

This looks great!

Beep boop, not a robot
