SkyRig
Developer: Rocket Flair
Release Date: TBA
Platform: Steam for PC
SkyRig is a floating rig builder set deep in the hostile atmosphere of a storm-wracked gas giant. Players in SkyRig take on the role of a Thorne Industrial Mining Corporation commander sent to Cirrus-7b, an untapped gas giant brimming with opportunity. With only an orbital platform and their AI assistant Birdy to guide them, players build fully modular rigs, extract exotic gases, and descend through increasingly deadly atmospheric layers in search of the theoretical and elusive super-fuel, Virellium.

Kaizen: A Factory Story
Developer: Coincidence
Release Date: July 14, 2025
Platform: Steam for PC
From the creators of puzzle games Opus Magnum and SpaceChem, Kaizen is another masterfully engineered game, tasking players with designing, building, and optimizing production lines in factories across Japan. Build calculators, camcorders, arcade machines, and more as you attempt to rise through the ranks in 1980s Japan.
Players step in the shoes of the young, Indiana-born David Sugimoto as he begins his very first job at Matsuzawa Manufacturing following a family friend connection. Initially promised an impressive position with the international sales team during Japan’s economic boom, David instead finds himself thrust into rookie factory work — and he has much to learn.

Modulus
Developer: Happy Volcano
Release Date: October 22, 2025 (Early Access)
Platform: Steam for PC
In the factory automation game Modulus, players build every piece from the ground up with building-block modules. Cut, color, stamp, and assemble these modules to design an impressive factory with your own creative twist.
There are no fixed recipes in Modulus. Players produce each construct from the very modules they manufacture, resulting in a highly personalized approach to factory-building. Witness these structures rise and construct in real time, with each block becoming a visible part of the design. The more complex the buildings, the more advanced the modules must become.
