When MOOD started working on the Board Game and we started collaborating with them, they made it clear from the beginning that they wanted to shape the game with the actual Satisfactory community in mind...
And as you can see here, these might be familiar faces to you and it’s because they are some of our amazing community content creators:
They were invited to visit the MOOD Publishing studio to get an early look at the board game!
We’re very glad they got this opportunity as we know they are very dedicated Satisfactory enthusiasts who can definitely give some good insight on how the board game can be a Satisfactory experience
During their visit, they were able to play through the game, building factories amidst banter and chaos unfolding as you would expect, minus the conveyor belt spaghetti
MOOD mentioned it was interesting to see how people who know Satisfactory so well approach something like this and they were really happy they got them all to be among the first to try it and they will take their feedback into consideration to shape things
What they got to play was the first manufactured sample of the preview
But of course, it has been a long process MOOD to get here, below you can see some pretty creative uses of cardboard in the early prototype versions!
Before the artwork started coming together and a lot of polish came in, there were plenty of paper pieces, rough ideas and placeholders in shapes you wouldn’t expect, as you can see here, Valheim standees were the first placeholders for the creatures
MOOD has changed things a lot since those early prototypes, different mechanics have been tested, changed, scrapped and reworked to figure out how to capture what makes Satisfactory work as a tabletop game. Just like optimizing your factory in the game, getting everything to work well takes a few iterations.
We wanted to share these behind-the-scenes images of the prototype version so you can also appreciate how far along the board game has come since, which you can compare with the trailer at the start of this post
And now that the campaign is out on Gamefound, You can click here to visit and support the game
We wish the best to our friends at MOOD with the campaign and we can’t wait to play this more ourselves.
Oh yeah and if you made it this far down the post you can also check out our latest video where we talk about the board game and other random stuff like extra details on the Core Values DLC Expansion we announced the other day hehe
That’s everything for today so see you all again soon <3
