Will you be playing 40K FTL?

I'll buy it, but I'll keep my finger on the refund button. Feels like they're overpromising.

I just really want an FTL like game where you fly around and do stuff, explore the universe and roleplay a little as you build your ship and hang out with your crew.

The formulaic nature of the actual gameplay makes this a bit difficult though; literally all you do is battles and occasional multiple-choice puzzles. There’s not really any scope for “exploration” mechanics. What would you even find?

genuinely just looks like a simple reskin of FTL

As I said, I'd love to expand my ship over time, get new parts, new guns, modify it, perhaps even change the layout when I find altering blueprints in the wild. I want to smuggle, I want to be a merc, I want to be an explorer, a diplomat, a pirate and so on. I want stats, I want autistic augmentation of my engines that require a level 85+ nuclear engineer, I want to roleplay something that isn't just fleeing faggot.

I mean its not like they're making more FTL, if the only other option is mods you might as well make a rip off if there is a gap in the market

Sure, I didn't know it was a thing but I'm all for more FTL. Despite the fact that FTL was literally unfinishable (pic related).

SIBLING, I AM BEING HELD IN THIS POSITION!

yeah, but I like FTL and want more of it

Yeah they're going to get millions just like the developers of Rogue.

We should... we should devoid them of metal containment cubes

Nosehorns... NNNOOOOOSEHORRRRRNS!

I'm pretty sure game mechanics aren't protected under copyright law

Depends how jewish you are. Trademark law is a hell of a thing.

*laughs in Nintendo*

This is like the 3rd or 4th direct FTL copy I've seen. Is it really that hard to make your own spin on it? Is the game just that restrictive by design?

Will Goymes Wokeslop try and take this game down? They are petty enough to take down youtubers, seems like they would go after this game too.

What’s crazy to me is that it seems they didn’t even try to obfuscate it. All the UI elements are in the same place (you could have rearranged them at least a little), all the room icons have the same style, the main battle interface with the ships are exactly in the same orientation… I have seen *actual* reskins which managed to be more visually distinct

CELESTIAL COMMANDOS, CHARGE

WB patenting the nemesis system is an egregious one
Bandai Namco had the patent for minigames during loading screens, and Nintendo holds a dozen pokemon related ones

I saw the trailer on youtube and was sure it was a mod until I looked the actual game up.

40k

I've had sex, thanks.

try it with women sometime

You shouldn't talk about your mother that way, anon.

ARE YOU AWARE OF THE SPEAKING AS WELL?

A literal space marine in the trailer

How has GW not sent a pack of rabid lawyers to tear these people apart?

he was talking about fucking your mother thoughbeit.

When the UI layout, the game-space design and functions; when everything looks and functions like the other game, you might have a case.

Reminder that the devs are Russian, so that is why they are going to get away with making not40k setting in a clone of FTL.
Though once Goy Workshop starts making an issue I assume Steam will remove the game from the store.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE DISTORTION TAKING AHOLD OF MY PERSON... IT IS A NICE AGONY

no u

So this is the power and wit of 40k faggots...

Nintendo disagrees

Take two things you love and put them together

"No, you can't do that! It has to be illegal!"

I expected more from Anon Babble

I'm more offended how this is a 1 to 1 copy of FTL than the "best value" 40k aesthetic desu.

God-king

Lmao

Conflictmace : 400 hundreds

lmfao

Copying is fine if you improve on the original. Copying for the sake of copying is lame. This is just FTL with a not-40k skin. It has no reason to exist.

I know that property rights are a pain point for communists but try to keep up, Chang.

THE BORIS BLASPHEMY

Wait, are you guys fucking with me? I legitimately thought this was a 40k game made by the FTL devs up until this thread. You can't tell me it's neither. I won't believe you.

This is an elaborate prank.

COMBAT COMPATRIOTS

3, 2, 1, WATER

property rights

if you're going to seethe at least use the correct terminology bro

I didn't even realize this was coming out already

the most obvious change to me is that there's no medbay and your dudes heal gradually every jump or use consumable items and abilities to heal
at least in the demo ship boarding with assault pods is a standard feature on ships and there's occasionally resource caches you can grab on enemy ships instead of FTL's flat you get more rewards for crew wiping vs ship kill which means you don't feel pushed to always go for crew kills for resources
crew members can have equipment you collect that can make them a lot better at their jobs, mostly fighting, and there's a lot of types of crew members with different abilities

overall from the demo it felt like a good shake up but since you only had I think two ships to play with and three out of 8? sectors to play through I couldn't tell you how well it would do later into a run
its definitely got a lot more emphasis on boarding combat offensively and defensively which is mitigated by being able to have as much crew as you can find/afford

I don't think that exists. Starsector is closer to it than FTL, though.

Just having more FTL with new mechanics and different setting sounds good for me

WE ARE DISORDER

DISORDER IS MUSCULAR

"Intellectual property" is the biggest psy-op of all time.

noo you can't do something similar to what I did, we NEED big daddy government to shut this down

Just hire your own goons to come to my house and break my legs, instead of this gay pearl clutching

Property rights are legal entitlements that allow individuals or entities to control, use, and transfer property, which can include both tangible and intangible assets. These rights are essential for economic systems, as they define ownership and the benefits associated with it.

This, at a glance I assumed it was just some licensing crossover as 40K does that with several companies, but the fact that it's ripping off BOTH franchises at once is hilarious.
And also kind of telling since this thread clearly shows there's interest in a 40K FTL game.

I like the boarding combat. Sending in a "space naval infantry" and watching him wipe out 3 compartments of discount Guardsmen is cool

Yeah bro, everyone should be free to use and benefit monetarily from the ideas of others with little to no effort. Power to the people, dude!

COSMIC PARATROOPERS

I'm the first one who thought of fucking your mother and now everyone who does it owes me
I'm rich baby!

FORMULATE THE FIRST HAND ACCOUNT OUT YOUR DEMISE

If that was something that could be copyrighted, you would indeed be the holder of the rights to fucking my mom and anyone wishing to do so would need a license from you to do so. I'm glad you can see how these laws protect ideas from unfair use.

Oh I agree. I'm just dreaming out loud a little.

"Power to the people" is clearly derivative of earlier work. My IP lawyers (all Jewish of course) will take a closer look, see you in court.

It really is chinese amazon 40k meets FTL

Sick.

Tundra isn't Chinese though right? Keep the cope up, your people have to produce games in other countries because your developers are shit.

I do not think they are owned by amazon either!

They're russian, same thing soon.

check out that totally not Into the Breach official Godzilla game
store.steampowered.com/app/2439780/Godzilla_Voxel_Wars/

Yeah looking at it closely that's like the least modification/iteration in one of these indie ripoffs I've ever seen. The slav shithole copies of Darkest Dungeon or Slay the Spire are less obvious.

Did they just reskin FTL and now they're trying to sell it?

Played the itch.io alpha, here's some of the rundown:

More boarding focused than FTL, you can insta-recall back to your ship if something goes wrong, and non-temp crew kills damage any systems within the room.

Most systems from FTL have a parallel, minus Drone Control.

No individual missile weapons. Instead, you get missile templates to launch from a separate artillery system.

Additional systems added include temp-crew spawners and passive pressure weapons (à la Fed Cruiser Artillery.)

8 distinct factions with a variety of units: Imperial Citizens, Technocult, Raider Outlaws, Machine Slaves(more of an auxiliary faction to the former three,) War Cult, Blood Cult, Death Cult, and Demons (auxiliary faction to the cuts, but you occasionally come across possessed ships.).

Crewmembers can be equipped with weapons, armor, tools, and/or psychic powers depending on the type of unit.

Variety of Commander (ship captain) options which can be purchased with Resonance (post-run currency.)

Slay The Spire-style difficulty system. After winning a run you can choose higher "Torment" levels for future runs.

No individual missile weapons. Instead, you get missile templates to launch from a separate artillery system.

I don't understand what you mean by this, can you expand upon it?

the designs are more HR Giger-ish than 40k though

Missiles are handled via their own powered ship system. You can purchase various missile templates from shops, load the missile you want via a drop down menu, and launch it at the enemy ship after a charge, limited by the amount of ordnance you have.

Yes, but they added grimdark

nintendo v pocketpair

So it seems, so it seems.

Wow, an actual informative post amongst a sea of stupidity. Thanks anon.

that portrait/thumbnail is definitely AI generated.

might b gud?

I just replayed FTL and it's infuriating and shit game on hard.

upgraded weapons are worse than the basics because they use low numbers so can't scale well

cloak OP as the meta is to just hit before you get hit

random events that fuck you over RNG

less credits mean less gameplay not fun balanced difficulty

Etc etc...

Everyone in the thread just expressing surprise that it isn't being litigated or shut down

Jew thinks this must mean we're against the game

Jews cannot understand nuance

Checks out.

Multiverse is a mod for FTL that expands the base game tendfold.

Bit rough around the edges, but if you like FTL, you'll like this just as well.

Subset isn't Nintendo.

they aren't, you'd need a patent for that

Everyone agrees that FTL's difficulty is balanced around being a masochist and playing for hours upon hours to get that just right RNG run that maaaybe lets you win the OP final boss.
Most people will recommend modding the difficulty unless you're that kind of masochist.

>Everyone in the thread just expressing surprise that it isn't being litigated or shut down

Why would anyone be surprised by something like this? Clones and similar games are far from a new thing
It's not like it's trying to monetise popularity (FTL is over 13 years old) or mislead people
It's like you were born yesterday or just dishonest

I've played itchi ver from month ago and it was pretty fun. Far easier and more forgiving than FTL on the base difficulty, you really swim in resources a lot of the time, but gets more challenging as you unlock more difficulties. It's neat.

Its okay to make a clone or copy a style of game as long as one is honest about what they are doing unlike certain FOTM games that are shilled by the Russian/Indian botfarms.

Russian/Indian/Chinese.

FTFY.

Its ok to make a clone or copy style of game.

already bought it after playing the shit out of the demo

just waiting on the code to get sent through

I'd love it if the game had an endless mode and some way to design your own flagship based on preexisting parts. Give me the Petraglyph and I'll turn that beauty into a pure killing machine. Two missile bays and a Storm Cannon III is pure bliss. You don't really need anything else minus an engine upgrade that lets you dodge psychic attacks.

This I enjoyed FTL and spent a good amount in that game, but when I went back I noticed that I spent most of my time playing easy and some medium runs.
There is very little incentive to cock and ball torture yourself through anything other than easy.
Random events are not fun in any way, it's just a dice roll to fuck you over. It takes very little to kill a run just by getting unlucky or doing a single mistake and you are basically required to abuse some elements that feel like cheesing.

I forgot, the only thing I didn't fancy is that exploration aspect of the game is really toned down, there's no galaxy map that you can freely travel around with rebel fleet chasing you, instead you have chain of 2-3 destinations you can go to (can't go back at any point) until you reach system exit where you make a call on what kind of system to go through next like in FTL.

I'm pretty sure game mechanics aren't protected under copyright law

Don't let a certain company with a trigger happy legal team and goon squad hear you say that.

And you think this little FTL clone is one of those games being shilled?
You see the problem with these dumbass arguments?

Variety of Commander (ship captain) options which can be purchased with Resonance (post-run currency.)

Is this just sidegrades or is it flat upgrades?
If the latter that just kills any interest in the game for me at least

It has no reason to exist

What retardation is this? FTL came out 13 years ago and there has been no sequel in sight. If people liked FTL and want more FTL then it has plenty of reason to exist.

The meat is weak, but the cybernetic is forever.

Even in death I'm still served

the fuck are you talking about
I consistently win about 3 out of 4 games on hard, and most of those losses were due to me making a mistake, not the game fucking me over

the only real RNG runs are gimmick runs like Stealth B but you know what you're signing up with that, if you're playing something like Zoltan A, any lost run is a skill issue

im down for more FTL

Sidegrades.
Differences in available loadout slots, inherent stats, starting items, psychic powers (or lack of,) etc.

You can buy occasionally buy a medbay, but it's much more restrictive in functionality.
OTOH, it doesn't need power, unlike FTL.

Supremely based devs. Intellectual property is fraud.

The commanders are like the dudes that you can hire with their own playstyles. The starter exile can teleport to steal shit and fuck up not psykers mid ritual. Witch can mindbolt enemies that bypasses shields. The not tech priest repairs faster and can work in vacuum while only taking 50% damage. Then you have some oddballs like a not Nurgle worshiper who can firebomb the enemy vessel with plague zombies every minute or a space cannibal that only heals from kills.

Anon, less than 10% of players have beaten the game on normal.

I already played FTL 10 years ago though.

Then why are you shitting up this thread?
It's a very niche game and definitely not FOTM

Defending GW's honor is a worthy cause.

MOST OF OUR COMBAT SIBLINGS ARE STATIONED IN SPACE, PREPARED FOR FAR BLOW

THE COMPENDIUM STARTUPUS CALLS THIS MANEUVER "METAL DRIZZLE"

I AM NOT YOUR SHOE SHINER

This game is like a really bad FTL mod on baby mode. You have to go out of your way to not make a broken ship and crew.

It turns into total bullshit in the 4th Torment level. Final boss pulls all kinds of garbage out of it's ass while you struggle to keep your shit from imploding.

Devs are evidently russian and Anon Babble hate russians more than anything else on this earth. Eternal pledge to judens, troons and corpos if its somehow hurts or spites russian

That much is true. But it's still fun, the boss battles then feel properly chaotic and like a real challenge to overcome by the skin of your teeth. I hope final version has more boss variations tho.

Someone owes me 15 burgers if Goy's Workshop starts having a little cry about it.

IIRC the first release build is adding an imperial battlecruiser along the three cult bosses.

THIS DAY THE FOE IS UPON OUR FRONT PORCH

FTL was great so I'm interested in this. I'll play if it's good.

three cult bosses

when the game already had three cult ships anyway

Still missing one for the pirates, discount toaster fuckers, an actual demon ship and something ancient that predates the whole setting.

Oh my science it's my favourite indie game marketing, touting it as an inferior copy of a far better game

I meant alongside the existing cult final bosses.
Not sure if they're adding more, but I've seen reviewers using a build with minibosses.

Didn't it used to say it used AI art for the character portraits or something on the store page?
I don't particularly care I'm just wondering if I'm confusing it for something else

I hope it has the Hypersailors, they're my favorite episode.

FTL is a piece of shit.

It would say that on the steam page if they used AI
I guess they made real art instead of AI between early versions and release

WE REQUIRE A NEW PILOT THIS ONE IS DECEASED

Is it not officially licensed? I though it was.

MOVE ME NEARER, I WANT TO STRIKE THEM WITH MY BLADE!

Its 40k with the numbers sanded off. Poorly. You can still basically see the numbers but you might have to squint a bit.

In the bleak dusk of the six hundreth century, there is only fighting!

WE TRANSPORT CLEAN BADNESS INTO THE HEART OF THE FIGHT

Oh God, who cares you nimrods? 40k never had a single ounce of OC in it, and has been stealing themes and ideas left and right since 80's.

I hope GW doesn't come knocking, they'll probably make sure to find some bullshit excuse.

GREEN IS WORST

shut it down

refuses to elaborate

goes back to selling overpriced low quality sloppa

The Eternal Anglo strikes again

GW long ago realized that the appearance and basic premise of 40k could no longer be copyright protected.
Thats why Eldar are always called Aeldari now. And Space Marines are called Astartes whenever possible. They trademarked those names to protect the IP knowing that a concept like "space elves" or "big guy in power armor" would be legal hell to protect.

Unless this game makes major sales, in the millions, it just won't be profitable to fuck with them. The guys with a leg to stand on are the FTL guys, since nothing about the game seems changed enough from FTL to even warrant it being stand alone and not a mod.

WHICH SWITCH MAKES THIS THING MOVE

We're not even talking about game mechanics here. The user interface looks exactly like FTL.

MY PANCREASS

CHEER FOR THE GOD-KING AND BEAT UP HIS ENEMIES

And that shit doesn't work
You change it a little bit and it becomes acceptable
There are literally other games with Nemesis system because its original definition used in the patent is just awful

CHEER FOR THE GOD-KING AND BEAT UP HIS ENEMIES

Sounds like Chivalry 40k

Most modern games use Destiny UI
Again, it's like you were just born yesterday
Everybody steals everything from each other all the time

WHERE IS IT?!

its so over

an unlocked wit is like a castle with its porticullis raised and undefended

Looks like it was made by AI. No thanks

desu that's shameless

Who the fuck mentioned Destiny here?

The federation has imploded
Trillions will pass away

I got the alpha so yes. Is FTL but more focus on boarding actings and making each unit unique with gear. Its fun.

I mentioned it
Literally every modern AAA game uses interface from there
It's just an example of how everyone steals everything from each other

itch.io

Of course. Faggots who upload there are known for blatantly stealing from other people.

That isn't stealing. There's a group of "UX designers" who have come together and said that this is the way that UI design should be.
They literally use a shitty template that can be easily adapted to any game. The designers are the women you see on dev teams(totally a coincidence).

using simplistic UI is exactly the same as using the exact art style, the exact layout, and almost exact icons

Retard.

okay, i've seen ripoffs. does anyone remember that chinese tf2 ripoff? even that doesnt come anywhere near this blatant copy of FTL. i'm so confused, it's so similar i want to say it's the same devs or it's licensed. even the way lasers hit ships is the exact same. the developer posted this game in the FTL subreddit when the alpha came out on itch.io, too.
i dont really have anything against it unless it actually stole something, but the way it copies almost everything is so funny

even the way it looks when you swap zones look identical (ship dropping down and coming back up after teleport), couldnt they have done something different?
change the layout of the text prompts, weapons, something

WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?

still not out

Lads...

Wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be just an overglorified FTL mod.

Looks different enough if you ask me
UI I mean
I don't understand why people are suddenly so obsessed with this shit
They took the game, added new stuff and changed some and got a new game
That's how most games work
Slay the Spire ripoffs literally became a separate genre

DROVES OF DISRUPTION... KNEEL TO ME

Its essentially, conceptually and fundamentally really is

The demo was pretty fun, which is hardly surprising given that is is literally just FTL with the serial numbers scratched off.

James VVworkshop called GabeN and put a personal hitsquad on the devs. It's Joever

Does that mean that all souls games are just demon souls mods?

They would be better as such

Having 99% similar gameplay is not the same as having 100% same gameplay+UI.

IP infringement of both 40k

GW ripped off basically everyone and everything else.

Nintendo only won because it was a JP court. Japan is not known for its fair justice system.

having 100% same gameplay+UI.

But literally every Souls game has the same gameplay and UI

Games Workshop will nuke this slop, FTL devs don't care.

Release has been delayed, everybody can go home.

FFFFUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKK

We ran into an issue with the Steam release approval process. Every single indicator in the Release Progress dashboard suggested that the release was set for 12 PM noon, May 30th, 2025. Unfortunately there is apparently an extra layer of Steam review that is required before Steam releases the game. We are going through this final process now and have been told it will take 3-5 days. We’ll keep you posted on further news. Sorry about the wait!

holy shit imagine delaying your game after the release date. Now there is enough time for Goy Workshop to take notice and beg steam to delist it.

dont be disingenuous, even the placement of gameplay mechanics on the UI is the same.
and dont be play dumb and go "oh, they put the health in the top left? so unique". basically the only thing that's not been copied here are the new things and improvements to the original FTL UI.

ok, so are you gonna press charges or something?

3-5 days

Plenty of time for the developers to disappear after being C&D'd by GW.

ffffffffffffuck I wanted to consume today. What wilL I do now?

ultra cuck sized 40k ships

kek

But I'm fine with it
I just want more FTL with new mechanics
Also since when does every game have to have a completely unique UI? Lots of games use the same UI and everyone's fine with it
Just look at any Diablo clone, it's the same UI

You can always play the itch alpha. It's just a couple builds behind the Steam release.

Cheaper too, game's getting a price bump on release.

They don't give a shit unless they think it will compete with their tabletop or Black Library profits. Shit like Astartes only happens when fan content gets so big that it's starts eclipsing theirs.

GW cant touch the devs, the devs are russian and can just ignore all the pissing and shitting GW does. The actual issue is GW going to valve and demanding that this game be taken down

going from "looks different enough" to "when does every game have to have a completely unique UI?"

but i did say i dont have a problem with it, it's just very obviously copied and that's funny.

Patent status?

If you think this is funny you should leave, you have to be 18 to post on this site
Games having the same UI is very common

loved this demo from the last nextfest, feels great to play and like a slightly more indepth FTL

you sound like you're trying to cope

looks different enough

doesnt have to be unique

games having the same ui is very common

are you the dev?

All three of these things are true
You should play video games more often instead of bitching non-stop on an anime forum

now you're deflecting, keep in mind that you're the only one who's angry about something here

I got setambux so I wanted to use those.

LOYALISTS ARE IN CHARGE
BELIEVE THE SCHEDULE

The only thing I'm angry about is these faggot developers not releasing the game as promised

Fair, anybody with some steambux in their wallet would find it more convenient than itch.

Not really their fault, Valve has a second (and poorly documented) approval process.

Anon Babble thinks "it looks similar" and "it's almost exactly the same" are the same thing

posting overwatch

lol
lmao

It's a FTL/40k ripoff!

Don't care.

Can I fap to it? Are there coom mods?

Can I fap to it?

You have no testosterone if you can't hth

hemoglobin for the bleed dad!

KEK Bleed DAD

the devs are russian

I knew it!

kek

Any Xenos or just human enemies?

I like that the engine is just the FTL one but made blurry.
That the game, in the demo atleast, had a much larger focus on bordering is interesting but depending on the ships in the main game we'll see how viable other strats work out.

There's a ship which makes it hilariously easy to win by summon-spamming warp zombies.
You don't need a boarding torpedo or teleporter, you just buy all the necromancers you can find, in order to send 10+ zombies over at a time.
That ship has a unique module which noticeably buffs all demonic units.

Russians have been a thorn in GW's side for decades. Almost all of the best recast came from there before 3D printing got big.

I mean that sounds cool as shit, the spiders in Multiverse has a similar zerg'em down concept and was a blast.
I am curious how this will work out just given how meh the computer seems to be at managing it's own units if most combat turns into crew vs crew.
Were there more ships available in the demo then the one from the first run?

Almost all of the best recast came from there before 3D printing got big.

Based russians

given how meh the computer seems to be at managing it's own units

Higher Torment levels make the computer more competent.

Were there more ships available in the demo then the one from the first run?

Dunno about the demo, since I haven't played it. The alpha has a very wide variety of different ships.

lower scrap multi

God i hate this type of difficulty tweak

Implying that GW won't just bribe some Russian official to have draft papers served to the devs.

For once. Anything that hurts GW jews is good.

You have to understand that Anon Babble is filled with zoomers who've grown up on Twitter and Reddit. They have only known the culture war, so everything on the internet MUST be viewed through the lens of Us vs. Them.

Is it available on itch.io? Is the beta still playable there if not?

RELEASE THE FUCKING GAME FAGGOTS HOLY SHIT

Itch still has version 0.15c IIRC. At least for now.
