About

The Gameplay in Mashina is divided into two distinct sections; a deep, mysterious underground full of trinkets and minerals and a vibrant, fully explorable 3D Overground.

Everything in Mashina is handmade out of various materials and animated using traditional stop-motion techniques. We then turn the animations into textures and sprites we can use in game, adding normal maps which let us have dynamic lighting and shadows.
Music is an important part of our work. For Mashina we are making the extensive soundtrack using retro synths to make a sublime soundscape to chill out and dig to. All the sound effects are made using old synths too, to keep in keeping with the score.
Our robots are all fully voice acted and are voiced by some very talented people from across the gaming world and beyond.

Mashina is a very straightforward, earnest game. Helping these little stop-motion friends brought a real, actual tear to my eye.
Very fun game with great exploration mechanics and a wholesome soundtrack! It's addictive!
A game with lots of heart! The core loop consists of you digging to find minerals and random discarded items in a dump to give the inhabitants of the world. The progression system has you upgrading your digging ability and other traversal skills. You unlock other items along the way to help you traverse and craft what is needed to get through the game. All of these elements are all pretty satisfying. It's fun to dig through anything in the Underworld. Each drill upgrade makes digging that much quicker. You can get assistance with storage organization, making looting faster. And then you are given things like ziplines and teleportation pads that zip you around very quickly, making the core loop of the game fast and enjoyable. Beyond the stop-motion style, what is truly fantastic about this game is its soundtrack. The soundtrack absolutely rips with so many bangers. Jack King-Spooner and Talha Kaya really deserve a shoutout for the work on the music!

Cutest game ever
I am a satisfied Kickstarter backer, if you miss the gameplay loop of the original steam world dig , then this is the game for you it has its own unique take on how you dig ,which was fun, has a handcrafted made from recyclables (like actually) look for everything, and so much music there several radio stations you pick up that are each a different album of eclectic music. a sweet story and characters what's not to like. There is a video showing the making off process and thought process for the game that was fun to watch.
Very fun game, saw it in a voting award line up and grabbed it when I could. Very easy to just jump straight into, the stop motion art style is a treat for the eyes and the soundtrack... my god the soundtrack.... please release the soundtrack. ABCDE FM is such an earworm of songs and the overworld tune - I could just sit there and listen for ages.
Goated
A fun and simple game if your playing this your not here for the gameplay but its perfectly serviceable relaxing and the type of game you can turn you brain off to and give in to the human primal instinct to just dig. The stop motion visuals are not the most impressive looking not to say that everything dosnt look great and I understand that stop motion is a time consuming process so not to bash the creators. The music was something i did not expect to get going in its simply great and very strange. Another thing I didnt expect was to laugh at this game the voice acting can be quite funny and there are some great jokes in there. If your the type of person whos enjoyment of games isnt reliant on great gameplay then id highly recommend Maschina!
this is genuinely the most charming game i've ever played. it was a treat the whole way through. i can't recommend it enough if you love experimental/unique games! i'll be checking out judero and i hope the developers will work together on future projects too!
