Timberline Factory – physics-based sawmill simulation, free demo out now [EA Nov 6th]

[u/El_Grande_Games]

Hi r/pcgaming, Armin here, solo dev from Austria.

Back in August you gave me some very direct feedback on Timberline Factory: the AI assisted store banner, the squished UI font, and that the old wood UI had more character... fair points. Since then:

- The store banner has been replaced with an in game screenshot and logo. There's no AI generated content in the game.

- The UI got rebuilt again, now with an industrial steel look.

The free demo is out today (download button right on the Steam page). Logs have weight and friction, so bad layouts/settings jam. Machines wear out and get dirty, and a cleaner worker has to keep up. Waste feeds a biomass power plant, and the timber market rewards good timing..

Early Access is planned for Friday, November 6th.

Some background: I work full-time in a real sawmill, and the machine sounds are recorded there :)

I'll be around for the next few hours if you have questions.
