    I know... right?! I'm super excited for the zip-up hoodie!

    You'd figure that being a part of the dev team I'd have the hook-ups, but no such luck!  :P

    Probably the meta-campaign aspect of it. I like the notion that my mission choices actually have consequences.

    @Corvid

    We're really excited about this too. We have a rough first-pass of this in the game, and it really does impact the way you feel about each mission into a hive. I can't wait to make it beautiful enough to share with all of our backers!

    I love the micro-macro kind of gameplay in FTL, so I'd have to agree with you there, @Corvid.



    @MattDonatelli, can we license out an RTS?     [-O<

    @Kevalier let's talk about spin-off games once this one is done!  :>

    I like to put the cart way before the horse. Its the earliest point in history where technology could triumph over weak organisms like horses. 

    The last triumph looks a lot like Terminator Salvation.

    Do you have any more information on the Hoodies yet? (eg material etc) The design is crazy cool and I can't wait. (I ask because some people have allergies to polar fleece and whatnot, I don't presonally, but I'm sure some others would like to know as well)

    We haven't settled on a supplier yet, so no details on that level yet. 

    As with most physical merch, we'll be sorting out these details closer to the launch of the game.

    That allows us to stay focused on making the game great, and give our backers the merch they ordered at the same time we give them the game to play!

    I absolutely cannot wait to see my personal character in game. Slaughtering hordes of bugs while screaming his personal catch phrase. It's gunna be s good jump.

    I'd have to agree with the others : the campaign aspect is super interesting and gives a sense of purpose to a mission.

    I'm looking forward to following the story, splatting alien bugs, meeting awesome jumpers along the way, upgrading our guns, finding lots of loot and sending the queen into eternal slumber! Bring on the Hive!

    I'm a big MMO player. So finding a combination of the weapon upgrades and the utility items that are really complimentary to each other is gonna be what I hop on for.

    Most anticipated feature? Everything really. The idea of weapon upgrades and city upgrades with a strategy feel sounds really awesome.

    I vaguely recall seeing a lawn chair. I'm looking forward to testing that thing out.

    It increases your detection radius for children on your property by a significant margin.

    I also can't wait for the procedurally generated maps and the speed run mode in the game. :)

    @Qaantar Ah the FOLDING CHAIR!

    “The folding chair of Abel Indolent. Abel made his last stand, or rather his ‘last sit,’ in the dark recesses of an Ordovician hive. Outnumbered a thousand to one, Abel propped open his folding chair and sat down. With a weapon in each hand, he rained salvos of hot lead upon his enemies, until he was at last consumed in his blaze of glory.”

    I want this to be a thing sooooooo badly.

    I believe we already have a rock it lawn chair. But if we get a real lawn chair. I'll cry sweet tears of joy.

    Something else I'm looking forward to: the 4 man jump squads crushing bug filled corridor after corridor. It's as close to a multiplayer metroid as I'm going to get. And I mean a true metroid. Exploration with friends is always fun. Gotta race to see who can find the exit..... Or the queen :bz

    If it doesn't end up in the game, I will steal all of Matt's writings and make a Lore wiki.

    It'll be as big a sneak-peek release as Tolkien's notes on LOTR.

    EDIT: My karma to the comments above isn't confirmation that it is in fact a thing. It's only my equal hope that it is a thing. I'm here as an intern to help with the community for a couple months. I don't have the power to make stuff into things.
