HeatWave - guerrilla group simulator set in post-apocalyptic Alaska

[LESS T_T]

By Polish indie team named Perimeter Games.

HeatWave is a sandbox survival strategy game set in 2080 in Alaska affected by climate change.

Global warming has led humanity to the brink of collapse, caused unprecedented migration and stir up internal conflicts. Therefore, the US government has decided to abandon the cut off territories in Alaska and focus on saving the mainland.
The Russian government supported by China decides to take advantage of the US situation. To expand into more hospitable places to live, they launch an invasion of Alaska, which was once a Russian colony.
As a result of oppression and hostile colonization, the people of Alaska form Guerrilla groups to repel the invaders.
The underground Americans are the underdogs in a fight for their land and freedom.

GAME FEATURES
Run your own Guerrilla faction.
Form your team and set internal laws and adapt rules to the changing environment.
Set up base deep in the forests of Alaska, build new structures to make your people self-reliant.

Use and upgrade your bushcraft skills.
Survive in the wilderness with limited resources.
Help your people meet basic survival needs. Set up camps, obtain energy resources, provide shelter against the cold and rain. Hunt for food, collect wild plants or plunder local communities to prevent starvation.

Could be interesting, I am getting some Expeditions: Conquistador/Viking vibes from this, we will see.

seems like 'Climate change' and 'America loses its position in the world' is gay millennial replacement of proper heterosexual 'fallout' nuclear apocalypse. Its like when faggots think about 'meat' they talk about 'soy' and 'veggie' burgers instead of proper hamburgers.

still, I will probably give this a try because it appears interesting, but prefer actual nuclear apocalypse, or Phoenix-point red mist taking over the world instead of 'climate change' or 'america went gay'..but oh well..

edit: after watching 2nd video I think I could be wrong about these guys actually, forming militia in Alaska to get pay back against invaders and restore freedoms seems pretty based actually, so I am probably acting like a reactionary dickhead.

If you want to play as guerilla simply get Arma3 and a few mods. There are persistency mods that you can play for months as well as in coop with friends and totally wipe the floor with this hipster shit.

Antistasi is the best one, with 80-90s weapon mods.

 

[Burning Bridges]

Alienman knows what he is talking about

Antistasi is great but also a bit finicky to use. Lately we discovered Vindicta and the underlying functionality is superior imo. It has a super clean UI and proper load/save with save slots. Cars around you retain their inventory after save. Also there is real base building, you can build defenses and even place stiff like chairs and campfires in your base.

Apparently this is still alive as of 8 days ago:

Yes, HeatWave is still in development. We've had a bit of a delay and had to involve in other opportunities in the meantime because indie games are not an easy business as you probably suppose.
We try to provide a demo version as soon as possible.
