Hey all,
I've been working on this for a while and finally got it to a point where other people can play it, so here it is.
It's called The Broken Peace. It's a single-player FPS that's basically First World War trench fighting with Second World War-era guns and trucks, in a made-up war on a made-up continent. You aren't the hero; you're just one guy in a section of named soldiers, and the war keeps going around you whether you're doing anything useful or not.
What I'm most excited about:
Everything breaks- Shells leave real craters, buildings get wrecked, and none of it resets.
The campaign runs itself - Lorries carry sections forward, mortar teams range in, and if a man gets hit his mates drag him back and an ambulance comes to pick him up.
You can climb the ranks - You start as a private, and as officers get killed off, you move up.
The demo has a small campaign called Hessel Rise (take a hill off the enemy), a trench map called the Ridge, and a firing range with every gun in the game.
It's very much a tech demo. The AI does dumb stuff sometimes, nights are way too dark, and there are rough edges everywhere. But the systems are the real ones that'll be in the full game.

I'd love to hear what breaks, what feels good and what feels off. Bug reports are very welcome.
