Are you going to do something with FTL? Like, ever?

Postby Edelskov » Tue Sep 03, 2013 9:08 pm

I'm curious, are you ever actually going to do something again that isn't merchandise? Let's make more clothing! And Legos, and badges, and posters and things and stuffs and... I 'unno FTL coffee! Drink what your crew drinks! Instead of you know, giving the game resolution options, additional ship types, new missions, maybe even an actual campaign *Gasp* :o. To me it just seems like you have abandoned the game, which is a shame because it's a great game.

While I'd love an FTL2, the programmers have no obligation or need to make one. Anybody who makes a game this great should be starting their own company and churning these things out as quickly as possible but it is very possible that they simply have other plans.

I actually haven't noticed much FTL-themed merchandising. I might buy FTL coffee if it tasted good and wasn't too expensive.

Why are resolution options needed? Game looks perfectly fine to me. Additional ship types? Take a look at the mods section. New missions? Ditto. And a campaign.. huh I was under the impression that you found that option when clicking on 'New Game'.

As 5thHorseman said, the programmers are under no obligation to provide more when they've already provided a fantastic and complete package. You seem to be mistaking this two-man effort for a massively-budgeted AAA DLC-fest.

If nothing else, you'd stand a much better chance of someone listening to your point and taking your ideas on-board if you didn't just swan in and act like a jerk with an aggressive post - geddit?

And don't you dare mock my FTL t-shirt. It's great.

I'm hoping that they make some more t-shirts. I'd love to see more options.

Pretty sure OP was being sarcastic and doesn't want more merch. He wants DLC! *cough*

Indeed - just got mine yesterday - it's soft, it's one of the few things in my wardrobe that isn't black... and if you don't love the Kestrel, you're basically just a horrible, horrible human being. :lol:
