Enginefall Closed Community Playtest: September 24-28

It’s been a little while since Steam Next Fest, and a lot has happened with Enginefall since then. Next Fest gave us a huge amount to learn from. We watched how people played, dug through your feedback, looked closely at what was working and what wasn’t, and used all of that to help shape where Enginefall goes next. Since then, the team has been taking those lessons forward, exploring new ideas…

Behind the Team Episode #1: Building Better Bases

Game development can look very different from the finished features you eventually get your hands on. Behind the Team is a new series where we’ll occasionally pull back the curtain on the people building Enginefall, what they’re working on, and some of the decisions that happen along the way. For our first entry, Joe takes a look at one of the areas we’ve been actively iterating on: Base buildi…

Welcome to the Enginefall Summer Playtest!

Enginefall is set in a ravaged world where the rail network is humanity’s last refuge. While most live onboard colossal Titan Trains , some bold survivors have escaped to become Freerailers : nomads who roam the rails using their Dagger shuttle on a constant hunt for fuel and resources.

Knock Knock. Who’s There? Not Instant Death Doors!

Doors Are No Longer Instant Death Machines In previous tests, one of the most powerful weapons on the Titan Train was not a firearm, not a melee weapon, not a grenade, and not even another Freerailer with a suspicious red “R” next to their name. It was a door. More specifically, if a door closed on you and you did not own it, there was a very real chance you would be instantly deleted from exis…

That’s hundreds of thousands of Freerailers watching the rails, waiting for their chance to board Titan Trains, fight for resources, raid, betray, escape, and build their own personal Dagger into a fortress on the rails. And with every Freerailer commanding a Dagger of their own, not everyone you meet out there is coming in peace. Over the past few months, Enginefall has grown through every pla…
