This week we had kids come by the GameWorkshop to test a game called “Machineers” developed by “Lohika” where using wires and cogwheels (aka Machinery) the game attempts to teach the kids about programming.

We have been testers of this game for a while now.

Here is 2 pictures of 2 kids playing “Machineers”, I tried to find the most anonymous ones.

Machineers Episode 2: River City, is out NOW!

We’re very happy to present the second episode of Machineers, River City, out to the world!

Check out the new trailer here:

With Tivoli Town now in better shape than ever, Hayden sends Zola to River City. Although the waterside town has its own (slightly loopy) Machineer named Harper, all isn't well. Somebody is going around breaking machines, and it's up to you to find out who and why. Guide Zola around River City, help the citizens and find what plagues them.

Features

Twelve brand new machines to fix including a pong arcade, chain ferry, and a sparkling fountain!

Build your own boats in the new Workshop (build a boat with oars, sails, mississippi wheel, and fully automated controls)

A host of new characters: meet Queen Bridget, Babba the Bot, Ford Fontaneous the water sculptor, Robob the elevator operator, and many more!

Dive deeper into the world of Machineers, explore the dark secrets of River City, find out who is breaking the machines and why!
