Good day, everyone!

Wanted to show you an open source strategy game I'm lonely developing on Python and Panda3D.

An alpha-footage to get the idea:

In Forward Only you have a locomotive and a crew of heroes. Your goal is to build an optimal route through the Silewer country - to visit as many places of interest as possible within the period of time limited by spreading poisonous clouds of the Stench. There are enemies, diseases, resources search, recruitment, the locomotive upgrading (including active guns like a machine gun or cluster howitzer) and tough choices to make on the road. And what is major - your characters build cohesion with each other in time, becoming stronger together!

The game is now close to the first beta build, so it's complete in about 80%. You can find the source code and the last playable alpha build in the game repository:

The game includes teaching, so you'll understand everything right in process!

So, how it looks and sounds? What are your thoughts about mechanic and the game overall?

Hello, everyone! Gotta news.

Hi, all, how is it going?

A new Forward Only release just happened! It can be said now, that the game is finished, if only pretty raw: the game ending implemented, the scenario is finalized. Mostly I'm working now on balancing - the world became smaller, but more replete: more fights, outings are more often, cities are closer to each other, etc., etc.

To the St. Valentine's Day, of course, a romantic color mode was added, preview here:
