Illustrator and systems engineer Hiraji released the free Go game Factory Go on October 21, according to news.denfaminicogamer.jp. The title sets Go in a steampunk-themed factory and can be played against the CPU.
The game supports 9x9, 13x13 and 19x19 boards, offers four CPU difficulty levels and includes local multiplayer. Komi for the second player is set at 7.5 points.
The rules are recast in factory terms: capturing surrounded stones is presented as blocking a factory's exhaust vent until it explodes. Connecting factories to enclose points creates smokestacks, and linking two smokestacks produces a large factory.
Professional Go player Yoshihara Yukari mentioned the game on her own account.
