A downloadable game for Windows

Valley Forge is a crew simulator about crewing an enormous landship named for the title. You and your crew must survive in an apocalyptic desert, salvaging what you need to survive and upgrade your landship to discover the source of the problem afflicting the world and maybe do something about it.

Contains:

Landships - enormous land carrier capable of mobile construction, and self defense. Check out the turrets, the salvaging machine, the assembly machine, the radar!

Enemy - One type of enemy so far, a flying drone that fires dumbfire rockets, tracking you by your emissions. It doesn't really aim the rockets, it just fires in your general direction for now. Kill them and salvage their parts to make more ammo and keep going. The spawning factory is indestructible for now. It'll churn out a new drone every 30 seconds until there's 3 at once.

Personal rifle, welder and ammo for both

Controls: After you run the game the first time it creates a keymap.cfg file which is plain text settings for controls. The keycode/physical keycode is the only part it inputs though because it's weird. Good luck changing them! If you break it, delete it and it'll get regenerated next time you start.
WASD - Movement
Left-click - activate thing in your hand OR if you're looking at a screen, press the button. Note that in game screens are finnicky, you might have to try a dozen times to get it to work. Moving around helps.
Right-click  - Iron sights on the rifle, change mode of the welder
E - Interact (pick up things, enter stations)
Q - Exit a station you're sitting in or drop a held item
Space - Jump
Left Control - Crouch (don't stand up under things you'll get stuck)
TAB - Open the wrist screen inventory
R - Open the wrist screen inventory and show your weapon so you can change magazine/fuel tank - click and drag stuff around
F3 - Net stats
F10 - Quit
~ - Console, when you start the game it displays a few mouse sensitivity commands

To come:

Lots and lots! Mechs, aliens, storms, underground, ruins


Known issues:
Drone factory is indestructible
The machinegun uses the cannon's firing effect which can make it hard to see in long bursts
Something is causing slowdowns, which I think is explosion related. Both the audio player and concussive force (but not shrapnel) can go through walls at reduced strength, which I think is the cause
