Mitchy Studios is developing Swarmdustry, a factory automation game where players build industrial systems using insect-type creatures instead of conveyor belts and machinery. The game features a gene evolution system, organic logistics, and enemy attacks from a robot civilization. It will have a free demo during Steam Next Fest starting June 15, and has already surpassed 8,000 Steam wishlists.
Mitchy Studios' Swarmdustry swaps conveyor belts and mechanical factories for insect-type creatures that mine, transport, and process resources in a biological world. Players hatch workers like miners, movers, fireflies, and drones, then design production networks using flying carriers and organic pipelines. A gene evolution system replaces the traditional tech tree, letting players unlock abilities through research and mutation. A robot civilization attacks the player's base, forcing simultaneous defense and production planning. The game will appear at Steam Next Fest on June 15 with a free demo. It has already passed 8,000 Steam wishlists, and the developer bills it as one of the few titles capable of challenging Factorio in the factory-building genre.
