He got the idea after playing Factorio for hundreds of hours, but in the six years of development that followed, Ben Ryding came up with a delightful twist on the genre. Final Factory blends factory building and spaceship design with RTS-style troop commanding and classic bullet-hell gameplay. Pretty impressive for a largely solo-developed game. “At this stage the game is more like a cross between Factorio and Cosmoteer ”, explains Ryding.

Where Hitler took over the world, or you had to marry a catgirl, or Cheetos were blue, or something like that.

Cinematics are mostly for storytelling purposes, but they also hid a very real secondary purpose - we would do a lot of game setup during cinematics, like streaming data off of a physical disc while the cinematic is playing so that we can load what comes next. If we need to load a bunch of assets, it's much better to hide that in a cinematic than pop up a loading screen or force a decompression area like a tight locked corridor to hide the new environment popping in.
