I want to be a Mantis. Can I be a Mantis?
FTL: Faster Than Lightwas one of the first big Kickstarter videogame success stories. After earning more than twenty times its original goal early last year and releasing in the fall,we loved it. We weren’t the only ones, of course, and now some fans have taken it upon themselves to create a first-person multiplayer homage to the sci-fi roguelike, calling itFinal Frontier.
It is still in the early prototype stages right now, existing as a mod forGarry’s Mod, but it may end up as a standalone game. Though it mostly exists as a concept right now, it feels like it could turn out to be a mash upFTLwithArtemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator, in that it could be totally rad or completely disastrous, depending on the competency of the crew involved. Either way, with some [read: a lot of] work,Final Frontiercould be quite a bit of fun.
