Pocketpair, the studio behind Palworld, is publishing a new independent game that combines factory automation with town-building elements. The announcement matters because it expands Pocketpair’s role from developer to publisher and gives players an early opportunity to assess the project.

The game is described as drawing on Factorio-style automation alongside settlement management and other gameplay systems. A free Steam demo is available, although the supplied article text does not provide further details on its developer, release date or pricing.
