Yep and they are at 1.7 millions, I hope they reach 1.8 for the coop mode ;)

but even if they dont, am sure they will create it as an DLC

24h and we have 1.9 my guess is they will end at about 2.05 or something

Night time seems to be really slow (damned Chinese not ponying up the cash!). 2mil is pretty much forgone at this point though given the last minute rush on a lot of large projects. I hope we either blow way past 2.1 or fall just short enough to not get it. I'd rather they spend the money on making the game better rather than making a documentary.

EDIT: We just sailed past 2mil. I suppose since this is the last night everyone that's been slacking is signing up. At this rate we'll crusie right past 2.1

EDIT 2: According to Kicktraq yesterday was the most funded day so far

As long as we're sharing sci-fi links, I think this is pretty impressive.

(The video portion is higher def on youtube, but that video is completely silent, and it syncs so well with the Battle of Endor music).

A man named Paul Johnson, who tends to use the name "OtaKing" when on the internet.

He also created a Dr. Who anime thing that you can probably find after a few seconds of searching.

This one looks much better than his Dr. Who animation, though.

And it blends pretty well with a surprising number of songs.

Thanks Solemn for the tip. I found this nice Dr Who animation.
Really impressive stuff! Both look like some kind of 80´s animation television series to me.

io9 seems to have gotten ahold of it.

I don't know how to feel about that.

I only shared the link here because this forum is so small. It's still very much an unfinished work in progress, and Mr. Johnson probably doesn't not want a large audience to see his rough, unfinished work. The video was set to private, after all.

Just how things work out on the internet, I guess.

Never put anything up on the internet (even password protected) if you don't want anyone to see it

Well, it's no longer up on the internet. I should probably feel ashamed of myself for disregarding the intentions of the original creator like that.

Don´t.
You couldn´t foresee that.
As i respect the author´s reasons for putting them down again, the more i´m happy that i was able to catch a glimpse.
Thank you for that, Solemn!

That was not your fault. Thanks for sharing it anyway!

I found out a nice game about 2 day ago, and havent stop played it ever since


You have a starship, (top view) and you can move your crew around to man station, fire weapon at enemy system, even board other with teleporter.

If your hit you can have a breach and be forced to repair or lose atmosphere. Fire may also happen, dispatching guys to put it out is a good idea, but you can also vent atmosphere in that sector. No air= no more fire! or guys too.

Take a look at it!

Implying I didn't Kickstart FTL and haven't been playing it for 2 weeks.

:P

EDIT: I've unlocked the Kestrel+, the Stealth cruiser+, the Federation cruiser+, the Engi cruiser+ and the Zoltan cruiser (but not the alternate yet).
