Welcome, Steam Next Fest-ers!

Hello there!

I'm sure you've seen the trailers and you're already downloading our demo, so we'll cut to the chase. This post has all the info so you know what to expect from the demo and from the game as we enter Early Access on... 24th April 2024!

First of all, if you find a bug or have some feedback, tell us at Discord or via the Steam Discussions forum. If you’d rather something a bit more one to one, you can also directly email us, at [email protected]


[h2]What is Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure?[/h2]
Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure is a beginner-friendly automation game with RTS elements set in a procedurally generated fantasy world. You can play it single player, or multiplayer (up to 4 player supported). We love the genre and want to make it approachable for the automation-curious, while providing interesting twists for those who already have thousands of hours in the genre.

[h2]What's in the Demo?[/h2]
The demo contains 3+ hours of content. You'll get a taste of our core loop and the beginning of our story! You can play for as long as you want, but you will run out of stuff to unlock.

The demo features...
  • [Beta] Multiplayer (Up to 4 player supported)
  • [Beta] Mouse & Keyboard Rebinding
  • Character Customization
  • Mouse & Keyboard and Gamepad support
  • One playable biome: The Woodlands
  • Complete 38 out of 61 Woodland Quests & Tutorials
  • Unlock 3 out of 5 Woodland Sparks
  • Build 9 out of 18 Woodland Workstations and Logistics Buildings
  • Manage 10 out of 21 Woodland Recipes

[h2]What's in the Early Access Release?[/h2]
We're going to enter Early Access on 24th April 2024!
The Early Access release will contain everything in the demo, and...
  • A second biome: The Mountains (with Vertical Logistics!)
  • More Sparks (10+)
  • More Enemies (7+)
  • More Workstations (15+)
  • More Logistics Buildings (20+)
  • More Quests (80+)
  • and more!
In fact, you can already take a peek at what will be unlocked by pressing H or Right Stick in our Quest Overview! Obviously, everything here is very subject to change, the order might get shifted around, not everything might survive, but you can already see what we have in mind.


[h2]What's the Early Access plan?[/h2]
More Stuff! More Sparks, more biomes, more logistical challenges and tools, more quests. We're currently planning to be in Early Access for a year, but we want to be flexible. We'd love to support the game for a while and really make sure it's the best it can be before we give it the version number 1.0.

When we're ready, you can expect to see the plan for our next milestone! We already have a lot planned to make this game amazing, and we're looking forward to working with the community to test out ideas and features in betas, get feedback, and create a lot of fun together.

[h2]I have more questions![/h2]
You should check out the FAQ in our Steam Discussions Forum, but of course, feel free to ask at our Discord , via the Steam Discussions forum, or email us, at [email protected]!

We hope you enjoy the demo!

Streamer Shoutout: Orbital Potato

Friends and Soon-to-be-Friends,

So we love to watch people play the game, especially because everyone plays so differently. And we figured... you might too! We're going to showcase, every two weeks, a lovely streamer or content creator that's been showcasing us. We love to show off all the ways to approach the game and how different people build different types of bases!

Today, we wanted to show off Orbital Potato, a strategy YouTuber who's talked about us in not just one, but two different compilation videos and showcased us in a dedicated video! His explanation of the basic automation system in the game is clear and succinct, super great at telling someone new at how it all works. Take a look!

It was one of the first videos to come out and we really appreciated the specific shoutout to the Quest Overview. We know that the Quest Overview can be a bit confusing and that it needs a bit more polishing, so we were really happy to see that it does work as intended in leading a player through the progression.

That's all for now! Wishlist us, tell your friends, come hang out and tell us who we should watch next at our Discord!
