We are participating in the Steam Game Festival with a demo of our upcoming game, NIMBY Rails, a management sandbox for railways you build in the real world.

Today we are announcing our new game, NIMBY Rails! It is a management sandbox for railways you build in the real world. Design train tracks, set up lines, and get that stock rolling to make money and serve the needs of the population. Do you have strong opinions on rail projects and want to test your own ideas? This game was made for you. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1134710/NIMBY_Rails/ NIMBY Rails is still in development and it will take some time to reach the Early Access release, but we have ambitious plans for it. In the meantime you can check this epic development retrospective wit

3.13 is almost ready! I've updated the Windows build in the pretest branch for all the brave testers who want to try the new planet missions. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/25185065/26c5641d69232892e71dbb728bfaf1aabe1c00b7.jpg In some missions, like Making enemies, Intelligence assault or Unrequested demolition you will visit planets of a civ whose ancestral enemy wants you cause some annoyance, if by annoyance we consider leveling down entire buildings. You will get combat objectives on the planet and will have to pass several phases, depending on the diffi

After a two month pause to get some rest and some work done in non-WaW related business, we are back to working on 3.13. The next item is a big one: playable random planet missions. This is a major feature and it will take longer than the previous miscellany features in 3.13. The work presented in this update post is not yet published in the pretest branch (playing just one kind of mission would not be very interesting anyway).. Planet missions The big missing piece for planet gameplay now has its foundations in place. One planet per system can now get a random mission, and it will be displaye

The first post-EA build is now ready for testing! Please switch to the pretest branch in the Steam game properties. See this post with instructions on how to change the game branch: https://steamcommunity.com/app/450700/discussions/0/1697169163416373010/ We are using a branch for now due to the nature of some of the changes, and because 3.13 breaks saves with 3.12. This way we get more time to test 3.13 and give more time for players to keep playing the default 3.12 branch. 3.13 still has some months of development left, stay tuned for more development updates and pretest builds.

If an officer dies the game will try first to occupy their assigned tomb, and if they have none, any non-assigned empty tomb. This happens even if the officer dies while exploring a planet. It's not mandatory to build tombs, officer corpses will still be spawned if there are no available tombs at the moment of death.

Is there life after a game is released? Yes! We left some of the more far fetched ideas for trying them after our EA launch, so we are back to hacking on the game to see what fits and what is fun. These notes reflect the work in progress for version 3.13, which is not public. We will keep adding new features to this new version and in the coming weeks we hope to open it up for testing in a Steam beta branch.
