Ay señoras y señores qué noticia más fresca la que acaba de publicar los desarrolladores del pocas veces ponderado y mil veces querido FTL: Faster Than Light. A comienzos del próximo año va a ser lanzada la primera expansión gratuita, una versión avanzada con importantes añadidos y la participación en el desarrollo del guión del mismísimo Chris Avellone, un tipo la mar de ocupado durante estos días. Además el juego va a tener una versión para iPad. Más información en la página oficial del juego.
– Mind Control System: Temporarily turn enemies into allies. Force a boarder to repair the damage they just did, or have the enemy pilot sabotage their own helm.
– Hacking System: Lockdown and disrupt enemy systems. Unique effects for each system, ranging from forcing a teleporter remove boarders to making the medbay damage instead of heal.
– New Sector and Events: Our writer Tom Jubert has returned along with special guest writer Chris Avellone (of Planescape fame), who managed to find some time for us between his work on Project Eternity and Wasteland 2. They’ve been helping us add a new sector and scatter new events throughout the rest of the game.
– New Weapons and Effects: Many new weapons that take advantage of new mechanics: overcharging to increase the number of volleys, stun effects to freeze crew, and area effect targeting, to name a few.
– And more systems, drones, augments, enemy ships, enemy layouts, and hostile environments. All of which we’ll be sure to talk about more in the coming weeks!
