New Cycle enters Steam Early Access on January 18th
thesixthaxis.comDaedalic Entertainment and Core Engage have announced that the diesel punk city builder New Cycle will be available in Steam Early Access from January 18th. New Cycle takes place in a world that has seen its technology revert back after a catastrophic solar flare. This has led to the modern world collapsing, and the start of new era beginning. Players will need to grow from having a single shack to a bustling city.
Things will not be easy in New Cycle as resources will prove scarce. There are a few citizens that are available to start harvesting the resources around you, and this will be the foundation of your city. As time progresses, resources become scarcer nearby meaning having to explore further afield for goods. At the same time, your civilisation will rediscover old technologies and ways of working, meaning you can build up production lines to keep your city fed and people happy. Citizen morale and wellbeing is vital to the success of the new city. If they are overworked, they are at risk of becoming ill, and making mistakes. If people are unhappy for too long they will abandon the city.
That is not the only danger to the city in New Cycle. Random events can strike at any time which derail progress. A sudden pandemic could wipe out a lot of workers, sandstorms will disrupt powerlines, and there will be other groups of humans that will be a threat to what you have built, intent on its destruction.
