Opus Magnum (Zachtronics): Automatic Alchemy
« on: October 16, 2017, 04:03:09 pm »
They announced a new game! It's available in three days, as Early Access probably, but Zachtronics always delivers.

It's a snazzy successor to the Codex of Alchemical Engineering, way more closely related than the previous spiritual successor SpaceChem, and I guess here's where the name comes from.

Oh man. I put so many hours into Codex and Spacechem combined, I had no idea they were working on a direct sequel to Codex. I need this.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

This looks good! SpaceChem was only one of theirs that I was really able to "get", so it's exciting to see their new work is similar.

I am terrible at these games, but the trailer looks super fun...
Ah, it's always fun to try to build things. And probably fail.

You know Magnum Opus is a legitimate alchemical term, right? (Also, non-alchemical, which you are more likely to know :P)

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.
