"Rise of the White Sun" is the most immersive grand strategy game set in the Chinese Warlord era.
Delve into a new world filled with intrigue, murky plots, and treacherous military ventures.
Once you experience the chaos of 1920s China, there will be no going back to boring WW2 grand strategy games!
Naturally, you will encounter all the standard features found in other grand strategy games, such as:
-building your empire,
-engaging in diplomacy,
-leading military expeditions...
However, what sets this game apart is its unique focus on leading a loose clique of unreliable opium-addict warlords, commanding massive, unruly (and unpaid) armies.
You'll have the opportunity to play as an underground communist activist, a secret society grandmaster, a "lord of the mountain" bandit king, or a cunning Kuomintang politician.
The game's diverse factions offer distinct flavors and challenges.
Thanks to the valuable feedback from players, the game boasts exceptional historical accuracy, remarkable replayability, and a fresh take on strategy games that I hope you will appreciate.
Have fun!

Northern Expedition, Linux version, Early Access Exit
I will work at a slower path for some weeks now, seeing friends and reading good books.
My next "big" project will certainly be made on Godot Egine, so I will take the time to get familiar with that engine.
I will probably make 1 or 2 small games with Godot to get used to it.
I am not sure what they will be about, but I already have some concepts and game titles I'd like to explore.
Would you play to a game called "Mad Men in Bunkers", or "Graal"?
When I feel confident enough with Godot, I will adapt Cold War 2 for PC.
The Chinese Community translation is still going on.
It is currently at 80% done, and the files are being reviewed for integration to the game.
As you know, chinese localisation may produce bugs for Chinese players, so, I will really take my time to limit the troubles.
I will take a month to slow down and ship only small patches and fixes.
Then I will try to make a nice content update.

Here are the 4 proposals:
-An Autumn Harvest / Nanchang uprising scenario
-Bandit factions & a Bai Lang rebel odyssey scenario
-Steam achievements
-A pack of more characters available to any faction, comprising historical figures of adventurers, mercenaries, foreig nagents and old China hands.
These cheat codes were created for playtesting or bug reproducing purpose.
They should work fine in any normal game context, but strange unintended interactions may occure.

they are more cheatcodes, but they are so oriented "debbug" that you won't be able to do anything useful with them.
Here we are!
After two years of development, the major stepping stones I set for the game to exit EA are now reached:
*You can now play the Northern Expedition scenario!
*You can now also play on your Linux and Mac computers.
I will push the publish button this evening around 6pm hour of Paris.
I am sure you will have a lot of fun with the game.
It offers deep and complete content, with a high replay value.
Have fun!
