Developer posts and news about this game.
Something you never hear about in game development is the challenge of capturing footage for a trailer or some amount of publicity. Few games, particularly those with any kind of randomness or procedural generation, look 100% perfect at every moment during development. Even if th
Some great new updates to Auto Fire this month. The UI got another level up with some improved screens and a more lived-in look. You can now go to the citadel and help those people out, building renown with that city. Citadels are a little more solid in their representation also,
I know iit's been a long time coming, but Auto Fire is back in action and cranking out the updates and improvements! There has been a major UI revision for just about all of the supporting screens and menus. Consumable gear was added so you can manually heal up in the field if yo
I know we've been dark for quite a while... as distractions have started to slow down towards winter, things are starting to roll more effectively again. This past summer, I made a video for the Seattle Indies Expo, who was doing a feature on local tactical games. The intent here

Since the Seattle Indies Expo at the start of September, I've been hard at work on the core systems of Auto Fire. This has been in anticipation of showing the game again, this time at the Roguelike Celebration in San Francisco this past weekend. These folks are all about player c
Thanks to regular pushing from a friend, I finally got around to giving Auto Fire a bit of new flair! One of the challenges of the game for many new players is that they didn't always grok how time progressed: That is, the fact that time is always paused when the game is waiting
On PAX Sunday (September 1), there is an special event just down the street from the Convention Center… The Seattle Indies Expo 2019. In this magical place you will find a great selection of local developers showing their newest stuff and I’m super-excited to say that Auto Fire w
Hey all! I just wanted to take a moment to crow about Auto Fire's new title image, which was commissioned from legendary car combat illustrator Denis Loubet ! This is super-exciting and my inner 1984 kid is absolutely nerding the hell out right now. Denis has created art for a lo
