And survive you must, as there is no "triple A" in space. When a sleep-deprived pilot puts you in charge of his ship, you have to navigate the depths of Captain Forever, fighting other pilots for pieces of their ships to build the meanest spacecraft on the galactic block. But that doesn't stop you from tearing around, blowing up other ships, and slapping their debris onto your rig before running away from some angry bogeys flying in on your six. Additional module types were added to the game, such as angled shield modules and graphics were updated.In space, nobody can hear you scream. All three games were rebuilt and available on Steam. The purpose is to further expand the game and to improve game mechanics and aesthetics.Ĭaptain Forever Trilogy: The bundle was released in May 2018 and consists of Forever, Successor, and Impostor. A commonly agreed origin of the name comes from a member page on the game's forums. The Dawn Star: Originally labeled "Captain Jameson Reboot", is a revision of the previous iteration.
The modern version of this is The Dawn Star. Ĭaptain Jameson: A project that was intended to become a full-fledged RPG, it got scrapped in early 2013, but is still playable by Captain Forever supporters. It introduced the Clone Drive which copies enemy designs entirely and cannot be constructed module by module.
Ĭaptain Impostor: Released in March 2010, but is only available to paying supporters. This new game introduces a variety of new weapons, propulsion and defensive modules, as well as more types of enemy ships. The background can be changed, however, to an image taken by the player's webcam.Ĭaptain Successor: Launched for supporters in November 2009, as the original game was made freely available to all players. The default background is a grid of green lines over a black background with a faint image of a pilot's face in the middle. If the player's ship is destroyed, it explodes, destroying all ships in the immediate area and clearing the area for the player to begin rebuilding their ship from scratch. The game effectively ends after the first Protector is destroyed (replacing the command module's broken heart with a complete one) but the player may continue accumulating parts indefinitely. Destroying stronger ships increases the Law (levels within the game), until Protectors (Peacekeepers in the original game) arrive to attack. As the game progresses, stronger enemy ships (labeled according to letters from the NATO phonetic alphabet) arrive. The goal in the game is to keep your ship alive for as long as possible. In each game in the Captain Forever series, with the exception of Captain Impostor, the player pilots a ship with the ability to be expanded by attaching ' modules' (such as lasers or boosters) gained from defeated enemies to a command module, represented by a box containing a broken heart. Captain Forever was inspired by the 2007 freeware game Battleships Forever, which itself drew inspiration from the 2003 game Warning Forever.
