Bottleneck Gaming
Bottleneck Gaming is a new venture amongst old friends. We're looking to build community and fill a void around one of our favorite video game genres, Factory and Automation.
Factory and Automation games focus more around supply chain management, resource pressure and utilization, optimization and balancing of inputs and outputs, and building beautiful, automated constructs.
Over the years we noticed not much was being done to promote, discuss, review, and bring together people with similar interests in this genre.
We're striving to build a community that is engaged and to help progress and bring attention to the brilliant developers that have provided us much enjoyment.
