Just spotted this at reddit and it sound (and looks) to me like some kind of hybrid between SS13 and FTL, and frankly, that sounds amazing. fairly early on, but i think this could get somewhere.

(reddit comment)
"The design goal is for everyone to control a person, and you can enter/exit any player or NPC controlled ship. I really want to make cooperative gameplay with multiple people sharing a single ship one of the main aspects of the game, but not required.
Currently I have multiplayer working between ships only. I know how I am going to make the inside of ships multiplayer, but I can't put it into the game until I have worked out all the edge-scenarios."

George Hultgren (youtube comments):
"I want multiple people flying a ship together.
I want a persistent game world with player controlled structures
I want an epic plot
I want a life-long project that ends up being a bottomless pit for my ideas and is never finished because there is always something to add."

I have a hard time respecting anything that intentionally names itself to be a crude acronym.


Of course I said the same thing about League of Legends, but it's certainly proven that it deserves at least some respect, even if I never play it anymore.

I'll just wait and see, I suppose.

Holy cow! This is coming closer and closer to what one of my dream games! Mine is still more about cooperatively building a full space station, but the ability to have interacting stations/ships is epic!

I could only give it a glance, but is there any way to throw money at this?

I've already sent an e-mail to see if I can get to testing the game out as he asked by the end of the video. This sounds like an amazing game, the pixel specific detail development and such in the game is already amazing.

YES. ALL MY MONEY!

Another game with a hipster feature of a terrible terrible terrible name...

I am not sure how into a game where I want to keep the fact that I play it a secret I can get.

"Hey guys you wanna play WTF it is really cool!"
"You sure?... It sound stupid"
"What do you mean? There are some awsome features!"
"If it is so awsome why does it have such a bad name?"
"What do you mean it is totally funny!"
"Whatever..."
"So no one is going to play this"
"Not really no... We are going to go play Call of Craft"

I just emailed the Dev about our community and alpha testing, hopefully he can show up and we can ask questions.

You know... I am kinda wondering what the SS13 elements are really...

Since so far there is not much I can see from the pre-alpha to suggest more then one player on a single ship.

From what I've seen on the site, you'll be able to take over individual crew members on the ship. So it'll kinda be like SS13, but without the roleplaying elements or all the gamemodes. So... not much like SS13, really. Unless somebody makes a server that enforces RP or something like that.

[Neonivek]

So basically... nothing like SS13.

Well, maybe the basic mechanics of SS13 which, let's be honest here, was one of the worst parts of the game.

Hello everyone, at least 2 of you emailed me and I'm a huge fan of dwarf fortress so I had to come over here and post. I was surprised to learn that my little reddit post made it all the way over here, but I suppose that's how these internet things work.

I'm just a dwarf-fortress playing nerd who happens to be into programming, I'd love to answer some questions.

Bay12 is the bloodhound of the internet when it comes to indie games that have great concepts.

That said, I must design a ship in your game system, please let me?

Wait, you ARE the dev right? Or is this some very clever bot prank?

I guess the easiest way to verify it's me would be to let all the DF people try the game, but I have a feeling that you would assume it's hilarious malware posted by a bot. So instead, email me with "[bay12=invite]" in the subject at george@wtfrontier.com and I will send you the installer. That way at least I don't have to write up a proper response to every single one of your emails and I can just copy the dropbox link.

I probably would have released this game as-is on my site, but I worry that the general populous would be turned away by the unfinished state of the game. However, this is the bay12 forums...if you can play dwarf fortress, you can play Wayward Terran Frontier.

I want feedback BTW!
