FTL
« on: September 04, 2012, 11:34:45 AM »
Didn't see a thread on this, so I'm starting one.

Anyone else playing this? It's releasing soon and they just let in the lowest kickstarter tier(of which I was a part).

It's this trippy spaceship management sim-esque thing with lots of tense battles and text events and stuff. It's awesome beyond description.  :D

Yeah I saw it while I was scoping the Indiegame weblog the other day. Neat stuff.
Wish I had the cash to pay for it.

In short, if you throw a stone out of the rear window of your spaceship you will go faster.

Just went to their website and watched their demo video. It looks cool, but how well does it control? It looks like there is a lot going on.

It controls really well. Just have to be generous with the pause button.  :)

Even thoug im in vacation at my parents in law I am playing it every minute I can access my laptop.
Love it so far.
In my last game I reached sector 8 but then some badass rebel handed me my butt ;-)
In one game i teleported my 2 mantis crewman on an automated ship, thought it would be an easy objective for my boarding crew.
Too bad the ship didnt have air, so my boarding crew died before the teleport was ready again...

At first I was all in, but then it put me off because of how small the particular playthroughs are. I would enjoy to go with my ship and crew for some serious, long, RPG adventure, but it doesn't seem to be one of these kind.

Or is it?

We'll have to see where it goes long term. I expect great things. And honestly you can't expect too much from them for the price they are asking.

EDIT: What I mean is I think that's out of the scope of the current game. I would love to have that as well. Start with a scout or a fighter and have to work up to a cruiser. Would be awesome. I view that as paid DLC/FTL2 level wishlisting, though.  :)

I agree, for a roguelike its too short and too easy to beat (although I havent managed that, but I came close to the boss in my 6th attempt).
But on the other hand I have the hope that since now the mechanics are all finished, that they expand the game to more length.
Anyway they did a great job, and this was the first Kickstarter project I backed, even before Double Fines Adventure, for me thats promising for some of the other Kickstarters which hopefully deliver later!

I'm waiting on the steam release. 14th this month, if I'm not mistaken.
