Ore to Core

Ore to Core is a pixel-art game about building a mine, smelting metals and automating production. Players start by digging ore and stone by hand with a stone pickaxe, then progress to building furnaces, drills and conveyor belts to automate mining and smelting. Beyond mining, players explore dungeons beneath ancient ruins in top-down combat, fighting monsters and bosses to find gear, discover new metals, and unlock deeper layers. The game blends factory-building and automation with action RPG dungeon crawling, drawing comparisons to Factorio, Terraria and Path of Exile. It is coming to Steam in Early Access, with a Discord community for fans to follow development.
