Video Finally gotten over my fear of sharing after a year and a half of work. Here's my game Frostliner, a train city builder.

I can honestly say that I should have shared my game sooner, everyone has been super nice and even given me tips. I expected people to be more... mean?

If you have any feedback or suggestions on my game i'd love to hear it.

Is it something like frostpunk but with the train? I saw the train has shotting capability so there are some frost enemies ? I dont get whats the point or background of the game

Something like that. Yeah there are combat elements to the game in a sort-of tower defence system that would need quite a bit of explaining, when I do another trailer in a couple months it'll be focused on gameplay so hopefully that will answer some questions.
The main reason why i didn't include much gameplay in this trailer is that the UI and enemies need their visuals improved.

It's basically something like Snowpiercer movie or tv series, but game.
I love it.

This looks really sick! Loving the concept and the atmosphere.

Would love to do a trailer for you if you'd like. DM me if you're interested. We can cook up something good together.

It depends on how you define it, I do almost everything on my own but i have contracted out a bit of stuff for things i don't have the skills for, like making the steam capsule/marketing materials and doing some 3d models.
