Moorestech Video Game Announced, Blending Factory Automation and Anime Combat
The Japanese studio Studio Moonshine has presented its new project, Moorestech, a role-playing title that fuses two seemingly distant genres: automated factory simulation and turn-based tactical combat, all wrapped in a visual anime style 🎮. The game is currently in development for PC platforms, although its release date remains unspecified.
A Gameplay Cycle Divided into Two Key Phases
The proposal of Moorestech is based on a day-night cycle that structures the experience. During the day, players focus on designing and expanding their complex factory, managing resource flow and optimizing assembly lines to manufacture equipment. When night falls, the game switches to an exploration mode where that equipment is used in turn-based combats within dungeons. The developers emphasize that what you produce directly determines your power in the adventure.
Core Pillars of Gameplay:- Daytime Management Phase: Plan the factory, assign resources, and automate lines to produce items.
- Nighttime Combat Phase: Use the manufactured equipment to face enemies in a turn-based combat system.
- Interconnected Progression: The items you manufacture improve your group's capabilities in the dungeons.
A game where you go from managing a critical inventory to managing an even more critical inventory, but with monsters this time.
Artistic and Technical Details of the Project
The visual section of Moorestech employs a fusion of styles. Characters and narrative scenes are presented in 2D with a marked anime style, while factory environments and production elements are rendered in 3D 🖌️. The studio has not revealed which graphics engine it uses. A standout aspect is the participation of composer Yuki Kajiura, recognized for her work on numerous anime and video game soundtracks, who will handle the music.
