This game was featured in PC Gamer UK magazine this month, so they must think it has potential, and will definitely be finished at some point instead of dying before release.

I am overflowing with want. It squirts forth from my tear ducts.

Gotta love bay 12, full of kids trying to justify their existance by 'out experting' each other on things they are far from experts on  8)

Good game though, looks really promising!

We kids take offense  :P

Looks fun will try out the demo.

Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

FTL is currently pre-Alpha, and is planned for a PC, Mac and Linux release in mid-2012.
For now the game is only playable by IGF and other competition judges. There are no plans for a closed/open beta at this time

IGN and IGF are 100 percent unrelated entities. But that still stands.

Hey everyone, there's some updates on this project.

They've got a kickstarter page set up to help finance the game. $10 gets you a copy of the final release, $25 dollars gets you access to the closed beta, which is going to be out in "a couple of months" according to their newsletter.

Also there is now a demo! You have to sign up for an onlive account and download their application, and you only get 30 minutes of play time, and the demo is only available for the next two weeks, but that's the breaks. Having played through the demo, the game seems very similar to Strange Adventures in Infinite Space, with a bit more focus on the management of your spaceship. It'll be interesting to see what features they add over the coming months, though I'm not sure I'd pay $10 for the demo as it is now.

Eh?

I was really excited for this game. Now I'm not really sure if I want to play that over OnLive. Guess I wait for a true demo/beta. Can't be arsed to sign up for that strange streaming service.

And 25$ for closed beta?? Riiiighhht.....

I think it's a bad idea to keep the demo exclusive to OnLive.

I already have onlive, but my internet is so crappy it refuses to work. Yes, it flat out refuses to work for me. Here's a screenshot:
