Thank you for the heads up you Bastard :D

Waouch… totally forgot this was going to be released today…

How well my budget is crying, but bought this “Space Potatoes” & the “Weapon Potatoes” :)

When they arrive this gets bought ;)

Looks like "FTL: Potato Edition" - does that mean it will run on consoles?

Yep, this will make my potato salad even spacier.

Outstanding info, as I fuckin' detest the idea of wasted effort!

This was the very thing that made this game a deal-breaker for me...Fuck perma-death, it would be great to add it as an option and not the rule though, as my opinion has nothing to do with others that love perma-death.

Personally, I hate and despite when devs plays on both horses:

- They make a PC game, but it's also a console game, so it got mouse/keyboard input, but is really designed for Xbox controllers.
- They make it both a single player and a multiplayer game.
- They design for both screen based gameplay and VR.
- They add a saving system, but also hardcore/roguelike mode.

I wish the devs would just take a stand about their games foundation, instead of trying to cover everything.

With HPWIS, they decided to skip permadeath, most likely because it worked against the laid-back casual experience they were aiming for. Might be the right decision, too. As much as I love permadeath, some games are just better without.

Agree with everything but rogue like/lite as I can't stand...I especially detest multiplayer, anti-custom keymaps, ultra-sensitive mouse acceleration (I now turn the mouse sensitivity all the way down for nearly every fuckin' game by default!) and fuckin' auto saving/checkpoints for fucks sake!...And WHY can't developers keep the save files/config in ONE place rather than hiding them all across my HDD!?

I don't mind if they try and cover all playing levels as you cannot maintain a videogame company when you only cater to a small niche demographic, (Such as developing different styles/genre to pay the bills and keep your company afloat/profitable so you CAN make the niche games that you want!) but at the same time you will lose relevance if you stray too far from your roots unless of course your roots are with candy crush, or barbie!

But yes, agreed there are genres that need perma-death such as old/new platformers, true rogues, and FPSs where you don't invest a lot of time gaining resources and character investment. (Unless you can maintain those assets upon death.IE rogue legacy)

Here's some cooking oil. Now please fly really close to the sun! I want some space chips.
