FTL: Faster Than Light was the surprise indie game story of 2012 whereby indie developer Subset Games managed to produce a game that was so addictive and engaging for its players that it has warranted an iOS version and an updated Advanced Edition release earlier this year. It’s not often that indie developers hit gold like this in an industry that is increasingly thriving with indie projects, but in an interview with Pocket Gamer, designer Justin Ma and Subset Games intend to use their success to help launch their future projects which could include FTL: Faster Than Light on Android.
While Ma says that “we’re really PC guys at heart” and that I doubt we’ll start a project with touchscreens in mind”, they’re surprised at the sales performance of FTL on iOS despite its higher pricing than most other games on the App Store. In that same vein, Ma says that “we’ll be looking into the possibility of getting FTL onto Android tablets” which is definitely something I think we’d all love considering how popular FTL has been on every platform it has touched. As for whether Subset Games is planning a sequel to the game that shot them into the limelight, Ma says “I wouldn’t entirely discount the possibility, but it’s definitely not something we’ll be diving into any time soon.”
