1.0 LAUNCH

After over 2 years in early access, Industries of Titan is finally coming to 1.0. Some team members have been working on this game for over 5 years! To see this game reach 1.0 is a little surreal, and we can’t thank you enough for being with us on this journey. I know portraying an evil capitalistic overlord might not seem like it, but a lot of love has gone into this game. We hope you enjoy. 🙂

Known issues

We have one big remaining issue that we’ll tackle in a fix soon. Sorry!
After destroying a rival’s HQ, map tiles can suddenly become un-selectable.
- If this occurs, rotating the camera so that it faces south will allow you to continue playing that session
