Animal Fest 2025: Meet the Furry Bosses

Hey friends!

Learning Factory isn’t just about automation — it’s also about cats. And that’s no coincidence!
Here at Luden.io, we really love animals… especially cats (too much). So this year we’re joining Animal Fest — and using the occasion to show off some of our team’s beloved pets!

[h2]But first, some news
[/h2]
To celebrate Animal Fest, Learning Factory and its DLCs are on sale:
[h3]Learning Factory – 39% off

And now, the main event — meet our favorite little coworkers, the ones for whom we go to work and live for.. the ones who inspire us to make cool games about them:

Pet #1: standing watch over the developer


Pet #2: currently studying the developer


Pet #3: guarding the developer’s PC


Pet #4: silently judging everyone (except the developer)


Pet #5: she’s in her safe space, please do not disturb


And speaking of new things from Luden.io — as some of you already know, we’re working full speed on our new co-op automation game!

Recently, while designing the world map, we thought: wait… what if the planet itself was built from Tetris-like pieces?


[h2]Join the playtest
[/h2]If that sounds fun (for us it certainly does), you can sign up for the playtest on the game’s page! We’ll soon update the trailer and screenshots — can’t wait to hear your feedback on Discord and during playtests.

Happy Programmer's Day!



Hey friends!

The 256th day of the year is also known as Programmer's Day! That's today.

A huge kudos to all the knights of ones and zeroes, present-day, former, and wannabes alike! Without you, there would be no video games!

If coding at work is not enough for you (we get it) - did you know that there's a dedicated page on Steam's programming games? Check it out:

Happy coding, everyone!

Learning Factory Is 39% Off, And More Exciting News!



Hey everyone,

As you may know already, Learning Factory is on sale this week, with a handsome discount of 39%!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1150090/Learning_Factory/

But if you're reading this, you're probably interested in more games from us. And we've got a brand new game from a brand new internal team for you. Meet SuperWEIRD:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

It's a co-op automation adventure set in… we're not sure? (Seriously, pigs in shades? Fish with hats?)



But it's ok: all you have to do is repair everything, clear this place of corruption, and defeat a bunch of manic monsters. Then you'll get outta here (maybe)!

Use flags to set tasks for hordes of rusty robots! Make them work for you - crafting stuff, making swords and shields - everything can be done by hand, but also automated by tuning the system of flags.

...and/or it all can be done with a little help from your friends:



After everything is set up, watch your army of dysfunctional warriors as they march towards their doom!



You can wishlist SuperWEIRD right away, and also apply for the future playtest - we'll need your feedback to make this game even more awesome:
