We are IndustrySim, a small European engineering team, developing a serious gaming platform that teaches about real-life manufacturing industry.
The IndustrySim Virtual Platform will allow to quickly build a fully-functioning model of an industrial facility, with multiple events that occur there, and then play a game of them.
Behind all scenarios that the players design and manage, there are industry-grade calculations ensuring that the created solutions would work in the real world. It makes the platform also a very effective tool to boost new ideas and innovations, especially with the planned cooperation features.
The cornerstone of the current content is the production and consumption of energy, but we aim to address many more fields of the manufacturing industry.
More info about the product, including the visuals: https://industrysim.com
We are at the Vertical Slice stage, visible in Steam store at https://store.steampowered.com/app/886890/IndustrySim_Virtual_Platform/ – the game has already been wish listed by over 650 users with no advertising whatsoever.
We are now looking for a publisher for IndustrySim Virtual Platform.
Let’s discuss!
