Instantly wishlisted. My inner child is screaming with delight. I've wanted a game like this for literal decades.
I'd try to build machines and industrial flows in falling sand games but never be able to manage anything much more complex than distilling saltwater because of the limitations of the game.
The demo feels fairly complete. I lost a ton of time in it, you could play it right now.
I've found that demos can be a double-edged sword.
I picked up the demo for A Bumpy Ride after watching a YouTuber play it. I really enjoyed it, but it only lets you play for one in-game day so there's only so many times you can do that without progressing before it gets old. I still find myself jonesing to play it but I can't really do anything but wait for the full game to come out.
Such a tease
I downloaded the demo last night. It's pretty fun but definitely rough around the edges. I hope the developer is amenable to feedback.
