VAST: Ignition
Made for GMTK 2026
The goal of this 'lil game is to build and launch a rocket! To do so you'll first have to raise capital by selling intermediary products, expand your factory and finally assemble the rocket itself.
You start with manufacturing and selling steel, then fuselage parts, then engines, then research. Each step is more costly than the previous. Along the way you'll also have to increase the amount of drones you use to move the manufactured goods around!
Controls
Left-Click: Select buildings to build, and place them down.
Right-Click (Hold): Move the view around.
Number Keys 0-9: Shortcuts for the individual buildings.
Things I wasn't able to include
- Upgrade buildings, e.g. increase production rate/drone speed (I even had art for it)
- Removing buildings
- More Building interactions, both in terms of production chains and building layout
- More sensible transporter scheduling (currently they run around a bit inefficiently and wait unnecessarily)
