Are there any plans on a linux/macos port?

Hello,

First of all very fun game so far. Been loving what I've seen so far.

Gameplay:

The gameplay so far has been pretty fun. There are two things that I think would improve the card gameplay. First, I've run into an issue where I have more cards in my hand than can be displayed at once. As such, some cards are made unavailable since they're out of sight despite the fact they are in my hand. Maybe you can add a scrolling option for when this happens ? Second, I agree with barraketh about the cards. There have been times where I want to keep my deck as it but I have to keep adding cards to it thus diluting it. It would be nice if I could edit my existing deck and get rid of unnecessary cards (or sell them at a shop or something like that). I think barraketh's suggestion is also good

I look forward to seeing the game grow. Keep up the great work !!!

I have now played FTW on an ultrawide monitor and the scaling is not adjusted properly, the edges of all the dialogue boxes scale to the horizontal margin rather than the vertical margin, resulting in an awkward crop as seen below.

I have a couple of suggestions.

The first one is that in the victory screen could be a little more detailed, it would be nice to see totals of how much you stole with thief drones and syphoning drones in the combat end screen.

Also, I am curious about how drawing works... Sometimes I have drawn the only copy of a card in my deck two or three turns in a row. Is your hand drawn at random from all of the cards in your deck pool? It's an interesting shift from having a discard pile.

It would be cool to have cards that drain life from your opponent... right now the only really viable strategy I have found is to get 15-20 shields as a health buffer and keep them high, because shields are much easier to restore than health and enemies in later stages can knock out 75 health in 2 turns if you are unlucky. If you had life drain cards you could potentially build a deck without relying on shields. It could be a life drain equipment that heals your ship correspondingly for damage done to enemies?

Likewise it would be cool to steal energy from them... maybe you could steal two energy or something and leave them with the 'disabled' condition from being drained?

When the trader ships offer to buy fuel from you, the amount that they offer is insultingly low. Like, little trader guy, I know fuel only costs 4 credits at station but we're out here in the big dark and it's keeping me alive.  I will not sell my fuel to you for 35 credits, please sod off. 

That's a 'NO' from me, captain. The only time I ever sold fuel, I sold it by mistake... and then that same little bastard came and sold it back to me for 20% of my credits when I ran out one turn later.

After opening 100 bomb and junk crates I found one with a rare item today and that felt good. Can you also get equipment out of junk crates? 

Can you add the ability to resize/rescale the windowed mode? On a 2560x1600 monitor at 100% scaling, I can just about fit 16 windows of FTW :)

Adding a 1.5x, 2x, 3x scale would probably be good enough!

Oh also, can you add an option to enable/disable windowed mode during a game? I think it's only in the Title screen options. (Same goes for the upcoming 'pixel-perfect' and zoom modes!)

Hi, got access to alpha, spent some time on it, and wanted to share my experience.

I play many games, big fan of tactical, turn based, card games, like FTL, Into the Breach or Slay the Spire, so I probably am part of the targeted demography.

I'm aware that game dev is A LOT of work, and am not challenging the work already done, nor attacking the people behind it.

This feedback is meant to bring a user viewpoint to the team, because I want this game to be a success, not enough feedback is usually what makes projects fail, and only critics can better products.

I know this is an early version and it's taken into account in my feedback.

I have been testing games for quite some years now (Crying Suns recently), but this is still a personnal experience, feel free to discuss my points.

So without further ado, have some feedback:

• First of all, the pixelart is truly amazing. Congrats for the artist. You rock.
• The texts are kinda hard to read though. I get it brings a lot of atmosphere, but: character font's lisibility is quite low, all the text are bright on a dark background, and all this creates an effect quite hard and straining for the eyes. Better colors, contrasts (darker text on lighter BG) and fonts would really be amazing for the readability.
• The music is really and groovy nice. A bit repetitive after a while though.
• Music off/on in the option menue during game doesn't do anything. A volume tuner option would be nice too.
• The game could use a bit more communication and community building. A discord server (and subreddit?) for your studio's projects Massive Galaxy and For the Warp might be a good idea.
• Mouse pointer gets all tiny when hovering our ship in the map screen
• Equipment popup window could be a bit nicer and more developped.
• Prices don't always turn red when you have not enough money in stations. Some do, other don't.
• Being able to see the text of all cards in one glance in their default state in your hand would be a very nice touch.
• Card rarity is a bit hard to identify. The color changes are a bit subtle, and you hardly see the differences in ornaments when they are in your hand and need to hover to compare them, if available. Some clearer symbol/shape/texture/color could help with that. Minidiscs, holo datacards for different rarities?
• Energy is limited to 6 it seems (Saw that after using the equipment that give +1 energy and two of the "+2 energy next turn" card, is that intentional?
• Also, once you use an energy boost (+2 for example), the next turn you are shown 3 green and two grey empty energy bars.
• If you are out of energy and only have 3 costs or rare cards (not sure) in your hand, the autoend of turn won't trigger, gotta do it manually.
• The "hitbox" to select smaller ships when a boss is here is a bit wonky. Big ship takes most of the space, its "hitbox" is way bigger than its model.
• Markets go away when looked at once. You leave then can't come back.
• What are the draw rules? First round is 3 cards, then more, how and why?
• More highlight when a card is selected would be cool, an effect on the mouse cursor (crosshair for attack, green wrench for repairs, small shield, etc) and highlights of allowed targets.
• It would be lovely if we could be told the number on conditionnal cards. Multiplied by the number of cards the same rarity, +N for each card Z in your hand, your energy (total or current by the way?) multiplied by 6, etc...
• No way to unselect cards? I selected one, clicked on background to unselect it and it triggered (shields).
• Information needs to be conveyed better during combat. Sometimes the stats change first and then the projectile arrives, this kind of things. It gives a "what the hell happened here" feeling quite often. I know there are logs but it's not ideal.
• We need icons for status effect, that stay and can be hovered. icons for credits & fuel could be a good idea as well.
• In combat screen, the (awesome) background should be disjoined at the diagonal separation line, to really show the ships are far apart.
• I really like what you have done with the cards and their effects. Some rounds are simple but others bring interesting choices, combinaisons, and tactics. The ennemies are a bit too basics though in terms of what they do, and their difficulty varies wildly. Also some higher rarities cards are broken, once you have them, you just play waiting for them to show up and end the fight. Even some common cards are broken, you can easily farm and cheese ennemies and get MASSIVE amounts of fuel, credits and life, destroying the game's balance in the process.
• Some animations are a bit "floaty" (buttons in main screen feel wierd), a bit more polish on that and better transitions, clearer feedback and conveying what screen is what would be nice.
• The "FTW" animation when we win is strange. Hands show up in victory screen.
• More events are needed (hopefully that's already on the roadmap) with interesting choices, effects, risks & rewards (and an illustration of some sort?).
• The map: Not super interesting in terms of choices. No pressure, nor hard choices. We don't feel in a vast and dangerous unknown space: this is a small static square grid with blockers here and there. I get it goes with the retro aesthetic, but it's really not super exiting.
• Foes & random tiles look like huge physical objects,
• More depth and variations, stuff to interact with, changes in the environment would be great. A better sense of scale too. Bigger distances, smaller objets, to show we really are out there, in a merciless infinite void.
• Lisibility on the map could be better too, some kind of fog of war would help to know where we've been or not.
• We spend most of the playtime in combat, and they start to quickly feel really repetitive. More differences and variations in combat (more win conditions for example), as well as more stuff to do on the map would bring a better rythm.

• Replayability. In order to respect player time, some kind of metagame progression (even in case of failure) would be nice. Unlocking stuff, ships, quests, foes, cards, equipments, difficulty, game modes, challenges, trophies, etc, like Slay the Spire or Dead Cells do.

That's it, for now. If anything's unclear feel free to ask fore more details.

Good luck and have a good week!

I've just discovered this game via a YouTube vid. I loved Slay the Spire and a scifi version of that is right up my alley. however my only drawbacks are the X-X damage. I would rather it be more like slay the spire in that it tells me how much damage is coming my way so I dont have to waste energy/cards. But I will definitely be keeping a close on on this one.

Thanks for the detailed explanation here on the boards, just bought it! :)
Already played your game in events here in Lisbon, but will finally be able to play the entire thing more carefully at home.
Keep up the great work guys!

Picked this up after itch advertised you on twitter, and I am a huge fan of Slay the Spire. I'm not great at these games, so keep that in mind. I can't get past the first boss, and I don't know how much is after that. I don't know if this level of difficulty is intentional or not, so I reserve judgement. I just thought it would useful either way to know that I find this very difficult.

I had a scrapper ship offer to scrap one of my cards for $20, I couldn't remember whether there were any cards I wanted to get rid of so I said Yes to take a look at my deck, decided not to scrap any and clicked the X, and it left me at a blank screen.  I exited to the main menu and then clicked Continue and it went back into the game fine.

Got the card that's supposed to summon 5 4/4 drones, give 10 max shield and charge 10 shield can't remember the name seemed legendary in quality. However on use it only gave one drone and none of the shield effects.

Also had issues with the deal 5 charge 5 shield and discard one card. With only dealing 5 and ignoring the other effects that the card states.

Also this happened, not complaining:

I have 3 things to say after playing:

1. Game feels SO good to play! Seriously, just great fun. I died in the second area, right at the exit, but I didn't feel "cheated" in my death - I was low on health going into a boss fight, and I put up a REALLY solid fight! Had gotten some good cards right before it which helped a lot and almost let me get through. But I had put myself into a difficult situation prior to facing the boss.

2. I like that there are "deactivate" cards which have a single use, but are powerful! Really cool way to include strong tools at lower cost without feeling broken.

3. I noticed some issues with the "Fight or Flight" card. It lets you drag onto an enemy, but not onto yourself, even though it has 2 effects to choose from, one offensive and one defensive. Also, when dragging it onto an enemy as the last action in my turn, the enemy was able to act BEFORE I got the opportunity to click on my selected action. When I took damage due to a lack of shields, then chose the shield option, it did "undo" the damage, but it felt weird. I'm also concerned how it would interact with a killing blow - would I potentially lose the game and not be able to un-lose even though I had an active card in play to mitigate the damage?
