Why The story is about rescuing people, and the whole meta layer was built around that: the base, the foremen, the buildings. But in the run itself the rescued didn't take part at all — you pulled someone out of a shelter, and until the base they just rode in the locomotive. I wanted them to matter right away, not only in the base window. Crew Now the rescued work right in the run. A person cli…
A surprising thing happened today. After three months of hard work, I looked at the game and realized: it's ready for Early Access. There's nothing big left on the list — only polishing and balancing what's already there. What that means in practice: — All four factions are finished. Mutants, raiders, the alien hive and the machines — each with its own roster, habits and dirty tricks: acid pool…
Last time I promised the next post would be about the radio tower and quests. Keeping my word: it's all in the demo now . What's new Between runs there is now a base — the place your convoy returns to after a run, where you spend everything you risked hauling back. · Buildings. The Garage unlocks locomotives, the Workshop — wagons, the Arsenal — weapons, the Warehouse sets the storage cap, the…
It's been a while since I last shared what I've been working on. Time to fix that! What I'm working on Two weeks ago I mentioned I'd started on meta progression. Since then I've also released the demo, and marketing takes time too — but the main focus right now is \ base upgrading\ . Why it's taking longer than expected It's taken more time than I planned, because one thing leads to another. In…
The Last Convoy demo is live on Steam — free, no sign-up, no strings attached. In short: a survivors-like where, instead of a character, you've got a growing road train. We drive through a dying world, and every car you hook on adds a gun or some function. The longer the train, the stronger you are — and the clumsier. The monsters don't just chase you, spit after you or blow up — they latch str…
Remember signing up for the Last Convoy playtest? Well, it's still alive, and a big update just landed — a brand-new global map interface. When I was making the global map, I looked to RimWorld for reference. And there, as you know, there's nothing fancy — a plain hex globe, and everyone's fine with it. But I looked at it and decided: it has to be pretty. So I made it pretty. At least I think s…
I haven't abandoned the game, whatever some of you might have thought. I just overslept, spaced out, dropped the ball, fumbled it, blanked, choked, goofed up, froze — long story short, I missed the registration deadline for the summer Steam Fest. Then family stuff knocked me out for a month, and after that a couple of other projects pulled me away. But I'm back with you ːsteamhappyː And I decid…
This is more of a test post I'm writing to figure out how the news and announcements system works. I spent my weekend adding gamepad and Steamdeck support. I'm happy with the result, and I hope you like it too.
Announcements are the developer’s own posts to the game’s Steam news feed: updates and their patch notes, in-game events, releases and sales. The important ones are marked on the players chart.
