Astra Logical Partners with Dawn Apart After Successful Kickstarter Campaign
Deeply immersive space colony sim where automation meets survival is fueled by an outpouring of community support
March 5, 2025 - Los Angeles, CA - Astra Logical is proud to announce its partnership with Dawn Apart, the highly anticipated space colony and factory simulation game developed by Industrial Technology and Witchcraft, following the launch of their public demo yesterday after successfully meeting their Kickstarter campaign goal.
Dawn Apart blends intricate automation, colony management, and dynamic survival elements in a fully destructible alien environment. Players are tasked with mining resources, building systems, and defending their colony while facing the critical choice of either complying with or rebelling against the exploitative corporation that governs their world.
Astra Logical will be helping bring this ambitious title to a wider audience, ensuring its fantastic vision is fully realized for its 2025 release into Early Access on Steam.
There are 15 days left to go in their ongoing Kickstarter campaign so fans are still able to back the project to directly support Industrial Technology and Witchcraft. Although some tiers, like the “Pilot” offering rewards like naming an in-game spaceship and receiving a 3D-printed figure of the Magpie dropship, are nearly gone.
"Dawn Apart challenges players to master efficiency, automation, and survival on the frontier of space,” said Thilo Hardt and Tony Twyman, founders of Industrial Technology and Witchcraft. “Partnering with Astra Logical — known for specializing in strategy games which are equally fun and complex — is the perfect fit and ensures we can deliver the best possible game when we launch into Early Access this summer."
Developed with inspiration from genre-defining titles such as Factorio and RimWorld, Dawn Apart offers a fresh take on the space colony sim genre, emphasizing both strategic depth and narrative agency. The game's destructible world and intricate automation systems promise hours of engaging gameplay for fans of strategy and simulation.
And yes, there are conveyor belts. A lot of conveyor belts.
“This is the game of my fever dreams, and, yes, it’s every bit as good as you’re imagining,” said Heather Jackson, Managing Director of Astra Logical. “We love working with a studio this dedicated to their community and every bit as nerdy about systems as we are. The factory AND colony must grow!”
Dawn Apart will launch into Early Access on Steam later on this year in 2025. Wishlist now to get on the conveyor belt of future updates. Yes, that’s totally a thing. And yes, Astra Logical really enjoys signing games that have “Dawn” in the title.
