Developer Don VS Dodo and publisher Toplitz Productions today announced that their real-time economic strategy simulation game Industry Giant 4.0. has a revised release date of November 15th.

The new date will give time for developer Don vs Dodo to implement some much needed adjustments and player focused enhancements which were based on player feedback during Steam next Fest. 

“While the core mechanics of the game have received very positive feedback, we wanted some additional time to address some player concerns regarding accessibility and the complexity of the menu systems and the onboarding tutorial. We are sorry about the delay but we feel that additional time to adjust some of these aspects will help deliver the best possible experience for players, and that matters most to us.” Said Matthias Lutz, Don vs Dodo Co-Founder and Producer.

While this may be a disappointment for some players, the ultimate goal to extend development has primarily been made to ensure that essential features and functionalities are intuitive and user friendly, both for seasoned business sim players but also for new players as well.

Key Features:

  • Industry Scope: 25 different industries including mines, farms, manufacturing and approx. 60 goods (raw materials, intermediate products, end products) to manage.
  • Player Defined Input: Define your own company philosophy at the beginning of the game. These determine which events take place and which options are in play for policies and marketing. In addition, features such as loans and taxes are also influenced.
  • Detailed Business Management: Utilize data in various tables and charts, monitor the flow of goods, as well as the condition and efficiencies of factories, stores and warehouses to resolve production issues and implement appropriate optimizations.
  • Industrial Timeline: Various city buildings and many stores in different sizes over several time periods and categories (food, fashion, home decoration/furniture, hardware store, electronics).
  • Detailed Logistic Management: Transport goods using trucks, trains and ships. Build roads and railways and set up timetables to specify the quantity of goods to be transported in a certain period of time.
  • Seasonal Challenges: Seasons influence the production of certain raw materials, e.g. food and impact the consumption and purchasing behavior of customers depending on the time of year.
  • Maps, Zones and Events: Various Scenarios, different zone types, background stories and different company philosophies as well as events divided between random events and events based on real occurrences.
