Industries of Titan is in Early Access, which means we are actively updating and adding new content based on our roadmap and your wonderful feedback. As a quick note, Brace Yourself Games will be taking a holiday break during this upcoming month. The next Titan Tuesday update will still occur as scheduled on January 4th, but may appear lighter as we are taking the time to address bug backlog, and make less visible changes.

See the full patch notes below!

Changes as of 0.20.0

🪐 indicates changes due to community feedback!

Corporate Goals

  • Offer new ways to win the game
  • Each game will have 3 victory cards, one unlocked immediately, the other two will unlock over time, or you can pay to unlock them sooner
  • Each victory card will have 5 victory points, achieving 3 out of the 5 points on one card will allow you to claim victory
  • Two types of victory points, Revocable and Irrevocable
  • You can choose to claim victory as soon as one card is complete, or wait to complete additional victory cards

Tech Web Scrap Action

  • A new option for the tech web, you can now scrap a tech instead of researching it
  • Scrapping takes half the time that researching does, and will unlock all tech bridges connected to the scrapped node for free
  • Scrapping a tech will permanently remove it from the web making it unavailable for the rest of that playthrough! Scrap carefully!

New Voice Over for Braxton Daw and Aenar Pyr

  • Braxton Daw has found his voice! All lines from this advisor are now fully VO’d!
  • Aynar Pyr has also had their missing VO lines added in
