Sorry I haven't been active and working on it recently, I've been rather busy with real life stuff lately - I'm planning a coding session in the near future. Your work looks great div!

Moved to github. Also pulled all of DiEvAl's changes (which was quite painful since git decided it didn't know how to merge files anymore).

I am thinking of supporting both Lua and C# libraries. The reason I don't want to go pure C# libraries is because it means people have to download and install Visual Studio (or some other IDE/compiler) rather than just type scripts in notepad. Lua is also (in my opinion) easier to learn from a &quo...

I'm going to go ahead and ask this again ... Why are you using Lua with C#? Wouldn't it make more sense to write an interface for the races, and then to load them from mod binary (cf. dll/so/dylib)? This way more work could be done on the core engine. Were it in C++, or C, or a handful of other lan...

I can't give an official opinion on Overdrive yet. The concept does make us uncomfortable but I'm sure we couldn't stop you even if we wanted to. You guys certainly are passionate about our little game. :) I have mentioned several times that I will stop and discontinue the project if you want me do...

What is Overdrive?

Engine rewrite with a focus on moddability. It will support all common resolutions.

Now try and beat the flagship in under 3 minutes. 180 seconds from when you enter the first fight with it.

What is the resolution of your screen? 1024x600?

Just asking so I can be sure to add it to Overdrive.

I am in the understanding that Grognak's Mod Manager distributes mods without distributing the data and resource files (mods in this case are essentially file patches). Additionally, FTL: Overdrive is a rewrite of the engine with a focus on modding (mods in this case consist of a set of Lua scriptin...

Also as a thought on the project, have you considered adding some built-in moddability? For example something like a ship designer. Right now you have to go to a third party to use one but a built in one would be totally nifty. It has crossed my mind, though such an addition is low priority until t...
