Game By Kelvin Soong
World Design & Artwork By Aoi Waffle
-----------------------
This is a collaborative effort with the artist Aoi Waffle to bring you a game based on a world he has built called Rusty Front. Rusty Front resides in an alternative world where the populace rely on diesel punk style technology. One only need to look at the artwork by Aoi Waffle to get a sense of the world, currently plunge in a war between the Federation and Empire both with flying airships based on science, naturally magical resources and organic animal tech.

It is mostly in Japanese, but one can use either google translate or deep translate to get the gist of the story and lore about this unique world with flying airships and arcane technology.
Aoi Waffle would like to mentioned that there is a TTRPG of sorts for Rusty Front, but it is entirely in Japanese within the wiki page. This game Airship Pursuit will be the first time Rusty Front is being made in English.

Great game in terms of mechanics, and fantastic style/vibes. Had a blast playing this, after printing the deck. The pre-made cover for a cassette case was a nice touch, I love this kind of things! However, I found the rules really hard to digest at the beginning 'cause of the way everything was mixed with Japanese in a chaotic way. Do you plan on making a revised version, more beginner friendly? I made for myself an alternative manual in .PDF, rephrasing quite a bit of the original content without altering any rule or terminology. Would you like to see it?
Hi there, i am glad you like the game. I agree with you on the rules as I was trying to do 2 languages and it might have disrupt my flow of writing. Would definitely love to see the rules if you wouldn't mind sharing them 😀. If you like this, please check out my other game called Super Space Battle Frigate which I derived much of the game mechanics from.
Here's the link. I uploaded it to Google Drive, so that you can also see its content directly on the browser. And, yeah! I'm already planning to prepare and play Super Space Battle Frigate. You games are definitely something unique, and what I was looking for. I'll tip something, or buy one of your premium systems, as soon as I'll be able to.
Wow! Thanks @Havock53. If i re-release your version i'll be sure to put your name down as the proof reader in the credits. Is this ok with you? Thanks again for your support. Please check out the free games I have as well. As for SSBFA i do intent to release the version with Aoi san's artwork for the game( hopefully by this year) which will include 2 other playable ships. So yeah please play the free version and check out the Devlog.
Sure, it's okay. I'll be looking forward for that version of SSBFA!
