A friend on Twitter recently made me aware of this Roguelike thingy that takes place on a spaceship, and looks pretty cool:
http://www.ftlgame.com/
So I figure I’d share it with y’all. I’m gonna try it out tonight, so I’ll report back with impressions, but I like the idea of it. :)
Edit: Damn, didn’t realize the file had a password earlier. Arg. I’ve sent them a press request to check it out, so I’ll let y’all know what happens.
Please let this one break the cycle!
FTL != For the Lose , I hope.
Cycle?
Edit: Ooooohhhh, hahahaha
That looks awesome!
Will keep this on the radar…thanks Brian.
I’m not much for roguelikes, but did look potentially very interesting.
A shame it is only available to IGF judges at the moment.

Looks interesting. Hope it makes it to steam.
I got a reply, which stated:
“FTL is still pretty early in development so we probably will be waiting a few months before we divulge too much information.”
Sigh, I’ll ask 'em to keep me apprised so I can do a preview.

Have you done a preview yet of Drox Operative?
Nope, again, not ready to be released.
Though it’s been a while, so I’ll ask. ;)
Awesome! It looks a like a computer version of Battlestations !
Wow, it really does. I wonder if that’ll be a problem…
Looks good. Let’s see if it appears on Steam.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this!
It looks a lot like a board game I am working on. I am really digging this modular ship idea in games like Galaxy Trucker, Eclipse, and Battlestations.
This looks potentially awesome, I just hope there’s more to do than blow up enemy ships. I love at 00:40 where you can see the enemy crew on board their ship trying to put out a fire with fire extinguishers.
Yeah, this looks really slick. I love the concept!

No idea what they are calling it, but given we are talking about spaaaaaaaaaace it’d usually mean Faster Than Light(speed).
