Convoy Games announces the release of Convoy, their throwback game strategy RPG described as Mad Max meets FTL. This is now available for Windows and OS X, and they continue to truck along on the Linux edition, which will come down the road along with other elements promised by their Kickstarter such as the scenario editor and the modding API. Here's word:

Presented in pixel art and set in a future post-apocalyptic setting, Convoy is a squad based tactical roguelike-like in its core. You travel with your combat vehicles and convoy across a wasteland to find parts needed to repair your broken spaceship. During your journey you will encounter strangers in randomized scenarios by picking up radio signals.

Depending on the choices you make, signals can either lead to tactical combat, text based dialogue or chance based role-play. Whatever choice you make, you need to keep your convoy and its cargo safe from raiders, privateers and other enemies. Keep upgrading your vehicles, as death is permanent in Convoy.
