Version: FoxtrotHotelWhiskyFootfungus Today I fixed some long standing bugs. Submarine attacks were not appearing in replays, so I fixed that. FINALLY I figured out why destroyers made no sound during their attack animation. So, the sound event was supposed to be triggered on the
Version: CharlieEchoTangleGoospimple I just released Forward Line on the app store! Seems to play really well on an ipad. Anyway that process uncovered some bugs that needed to be fixed here on Steam as well. Now that Forward Line is on both major mobile platforms, a steam user c
Version: DeltaFoxtrotQuebecPickles I extended the timers for tournament play. Players were getting squeezed out a little too quickly making tournaments difficult to complete naturally without someone running out of time. The initial timer for a tournament game is now 48 hours, tr
Version: AlfaCharlieNovemberBeefaholic Removed the Replay Button when it's not your turn. It wasn't designed for that and it would cause crashes. That's not the end of replay problems but it should help.
Version: BravoDeltaOscarGoosepimple Fixed a couple of bugs, including a replay crash. Replays have been tough for me, so there might be more problems with it but one of the bugs is fixed.
BravoDeltaOscarCollegeboy Added an Ω to the default 'General Changethis' default profile name, so that they sort after Z. This way people who come up with their own names get some higher standing. My apologies to anyone who's character name is written in Greek, because this proba
Version: AlfaCharlieNovemberPuppies Fixed a possible tournament cheat. Expanded notifications for the android version to include tournament postings.
Version: CharlieEchoOscarBeefaholic Had some serious bugs with the tournament system. I'm too embarrassed to talk about it.
Version: CharlieEchoOscarWiddershins Just a little hotfix for notifications.
Update 19 version: EchoGolfQuebecHoosegow Tournament Mode Playing against the AI in single player mode is good for learning Forward Line, but for a greater challenge, Forward Line now has a tournament system where players all over the world can compete against each other for brag
It's been a very long time since the last update! I will try to explain my long absence. It was clear early on that Forward Line is at it's heart a competitive two player game. I worked hard to make multiplayer possible, but finding an opponent is difficult. The game needs to bri
Version: DeltaFoxtrotGolfCollegeboy Added a replay feature that will be useful once multiplayer goes asynchronous. Added a frequently requested feature to refuse the enemy's surrender! I struggled with this one philosophically, but I found a solution in keeping with the game's et
Version CharlieEchoEchoSnorington: Fixed a bug that didn't allow a multiplayer game without bad weather.
Version: FoxtrotHotelHotelSnorington Fixed a few bugs. There were protests from the Android folks about ships crossing land, so I now draw little channels to help explain how such a thing could happen. The rules are exactly the same, hopefully this cosmetic change will help those
Version: EchoGolfFoxtrotFootfungus Fixed a few Stormbound bugs, and also added a bug reporter! If a bug happens, a window should pop up asking if you want to send a bug report. This will send the log file and the autosave file right to [email protected].
Version: BravoDeltaBravoRabbitsnacks This ground breaking version fixes a single bug. Let me know how many bugs it adds.
Version: EchoGolfEchoHoosegow Just fixed a few bugs. Let me know if you find more.
"Stormbound" is an optional new rule expansion for Forward Line. Intended for advanced players, bad weather appears on the map adding another dimension of challenge and opportunity. For Steam users, this expansion is free and comes with the game! When you feel ready, just check t
Version Update: EchoFoxtrotCharlieSnorington My new debugging tool was great, and color coded the map according to the supply mass IDs. I found out that when a supply unit moved, it could orphan large swaths of an old supply mass. These orphaned entries could make the AI think th
Version Update: DeltaEchoBravoBaconflavor Just fixed a bug that prevent the latest achievement from firing. If you missed out because of that, I. Am. So. Sorry. If you still have the save, you can finish it up again and get the achievement. There is another bug floating around re
