The game will save each time you quit, so really it will last as long as you can survive. Most of my deaths happen around the 10-15 day mark, and usually from stupidly not paying attention to my hunger or health. The number of days you survive before death translate into XP, and at certain XP numbers you'll unlock new characters.

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
More Qs on FTL:
1)If you explore a node covered by the rebels' advance, do you never get the node's "event"? So there is no point in taking the risk at all?
2)Are slugs bad fighters? Their description only hints at their telepathic abilities with no combat drawbacks. I got 2 slugs from random encounters I don't know what to specialize in and just got my first crew TP. My other 4 guys (3 humans 1 mantis) are already max level in the 4 rooms they man. Any drawback if I make my 2 slugs my boarding team?
3)Is there any incentive in going to hostile sectors over civilian(green) ones? Nebula sectors seem to be the best choice since it gives you more time to explore nodes. I haven't tried hostiles yet. Why would I, if there is a nebula or civilian choice?

1) I have (accidentally) jumped to rebel controlled nodes a few times. Every time, I fought an "elite" rebel fighter and the victory reward was 1 fuel ("no time to salvage!!"). So it appears it is always a penalty fight.
2) I've never had slug crew, but according to their profile, their telepathy shows where enemy crew is and let's you see adjacent rooms on the enemy ship. So it sounds like they are handy for boarding.
3) Some of the ship unlock quests are in hostile sectors (Rock and Mantis, for instance). I haven't noticed THAT big a difference in fight frequency in hostile sectors, since there are still pirates and other random encounters in green sectors. There may be less stores in hostile space, though.
The Slugs ability lets me see red dots where enemy crew are even in nebula nodes. And even if the slug is on my ship. It's like a scanner but you don't see the race or what they're doing - just a red dot of their location.
It's not bad I guess. The only use seems, to me, to focus on rooms that are populated. But since I focus on guns 100% of the time anyway (I see no reason not to), it's actually quite useless.
I am at my 5th sector and I have yet to see any kind of strategy in combat now that I think about it. I just started trying to "farm" combat XP on my 2 mantis (just got a new one!) and that makes it a little harder. I have to balance my gun damage to keep the opposing ship alive so my mantisesez can destroy systems.

Prepare your body for the pinnacle of gaming achievement. Once you have witnessed the greatness of this game you will never be the same!!
War for the Overworld -https://wftogame.com/(Kickstarter phase / indie game)
Pre Alpha/Tech demo
Stumbled upon this when looking for FO:NV mods (one of the guy made some nice animation replacers for FO3 and NV). They did discontinue mod support and then failed to deliver on a game (epoch something) they had worked on for a year or so. Any attempts at a "dungeon keeper spiritual successor" is worth mentioning though. And this is properly funded at least.

anyone besides me in the Showdown Effect beta?

I just dropped some money on Grimoire.
They got the demo out and it looks quite extensive in content. I'm skeptical they will make the may release date but I'm sure it will be out within a couple months of may.
Check out the video or download the demo if you like old classic games (pre everquest etc).

The game will be released regardless of the funding goal. The game will be shipped out regardless of how many people donate.

I don't get why they went for this style of UI/resolution. Is it worth it just to give players the full retro experience? I hope they at least don't butcher controls and allow remapping and enough hotkeys. He moves with the mouse in that video, which made me cringe.
**Although the video does say they are planning on increasing the viewport size. I assume viewport is the part of the UI when the world interaction is. So that's good.
I bought Cart Life after seeing it on the IGF awards. Really cool black & white pixel art and chiptunes, with a life sim sort of gameplay. It is tough, and a bit depressing, but oddly engaging.
The guy that wrote it gave his IGF booth to another developer because he really liked her game, and figured he'd had plenty of press after winning the big prize. Really cool.

Lol, good ole Cleve, chief troll of usenet crpg groups. Wow, nostalgia ;p
Heh, I'm thinking about upgrading to the create your own item tier.

Monaco is out on steam! It is a coop heist game. Played some 3 player last night, good fun. I was totally lost for a bit at first, but eventually learned to see what was going on (kind of like dorf fort but much quicker).
