Hey everyone! How's your week? As for us, we are, unsurprisingly, still working on Learning Factory, both regular and the EDU version for middle schools (as part of our collaboration with Games For Change). And while the former still has much, much development and polishing to happen (see some exciting WiP stuff below), Learning Faactory EDU is coming to its final shape. It's time for talking about insights and showing stuff!
LF EDU Dev Diaries: A Kid's Perspective On (What's Wrong With) Educational Products
In this episode we're meeting with Paul Darvasi, an educator with 20+ years of experience, who's now doing a visionnaire job, turining mainstream and indie games into school lessons. But most importantly, we're joined by his 11-years old son Max, who has a rather fresh perspective on what exactly is wrong with today's "educational games" and how games can and will be transforming classrooms.
If you're interested in games for education, we encourage you to treat yourself with this optimistic episode!
And if you want to know more about Learning Factory EDU, well...

New In-Dev Stuff From Learning Factory
Ok, let's get back to the stuff most of you've come here for! Remember that new content we've mentioned last week? We'll our artist Sergei from Siberia has been quite busy and productive! We won't comment on much stuff; instead, you might suggest your own options - what are these preview images all about? What changes do they bring to the game?
Like this one...
Or this one!
Oh yeah!!
A tiny visual difference - a giant leap for Learning Factory mechanics! But that's just one thing. We're also working upon a bunch of new buildings:
(If you can read Russian cursive, you might even find out what those buildings do!)
(Another) Teaser alert: Learning Factory might be the ultimate place for buying top-tier graphic cards:
We don't, repeat, WE DON'T have solid release dates for all that goodness, the important thing to know is: we want to deliver it your way ASAP, the plans to start doing that is one of the upcoming weeks :)
Until then...
