Modulus Official Overview Trailer

Games World

Join members of the Happy Volcano development team for a deep dive into the gameplay and creation of Modulus in this trailer for the upcoming creative factory automation game, where you design not just the systems, but construct the very building blocks themselves. No enemies, no timers, just you, your machines, and the quiet satisfaction of optimizing beautiful, efficient factories in Modulus.

00:00Hey, we're Happy Volcano. Today we're excited to introduce you to Modulus, our new factory

00:05automation game where you cut, color, stamp and assemble 3D building blocks to design and

00:11optimize sprawling factories. Modulus is all about creating building blocks to construct

00:15entire buildings, with modular design at the core of the gameplay. The concept of modularity fits

00:20perfectly with the factory automation genre, where reusing and mass producing items is key.

00:26In Modulus, however, the focus is on freedom. Buildings do have specific requirements,

00:31but there's no fixed formula for how you meet them. What I love most about Modulus is that the

00:36modules you craft are actually used to build. Every building block you create has a purpose.

00:41Let's take a look under the hood and talk about how it all works.

00:44The beauty of Modulus' voxel system is how mathematical its co-operations are. A factory

00:49line starts out with a basic cube, and then it's up to the player to slice it up, rotate it around,

00:54paint it a new color, and reassemble all of the pieces to make anything they want.

00:58Chain these operators together, and that's when things start to get complex.

01:02When we began exploring the art style for Modulus,

01:04voxel art quickly emerged as the obvious choice. The factory is built on a grid,

01:09allowing you to create modules from blocks, resulting in grid-aligned geometric shapes.

01:13And what art style is more fitting for cubes on a grid than voxel art?

01:17You can play the Modulus demo for free right now on Steam.

01:21Wishlist it, share it, and come hang out with us on Discord. We'd love to hear your feedback.

01:26We're just getting started, and we can't wait to show you what's next.
