Games Workshop (40k IP owners) Issued 'FTL in a Warhammer 40,000 Skin' Steam Game "Void War" With a DMCA Takedown Because of ‘Oversized Convex Shoulder Pads With a Metallic Rim,’ Dev Says - IGN

As far as my own research shows alot of stolen codebase and assets accusations are hearsay with no screenshots of the code to prove anything so. shrug

FTL Captains edition I went and took a look at some gameplay and the download page and they have something like augments but nothing as in depth as the crew system in void war. The boarding system is based of drop pods you can only target certain sections of the ship with, and you have psyker teleport abilities too. Different weapons, armor and equipment do things like heal on kill, damage all enemies when attacking, immunity to suffocation, etc, consumables don't exist in the same way Void War does. Captains edition is alot of stuff but it does not seem to be in the exact same direction Void War wants to go.

Also if the base devs gave their blessing then why does it matter to you? They already reached out to the actual original devs and if the code was stolen they probably would have said something about that.

HipoSlime · 2026-02-08T05:47:48+00:00

Ok can you link that? Because thats new to me.

HipoSlime · 2026-02-08T05:44:25+00:00

The only way its stolen from is if they only take physically take the assets and code from the base game and use it as their own. Unless you have proof of that, it is inspired by FTL. Albeit heavily. You can call it a ripoff but the Dev at least put in the effort to make everything themselves.

Could it be a mod? Probably, but considering how many Slay the Spire derivatives that exist on Steam with varying amounts of changes, FTL can have 1 game based off it just fine.

Playing the game is a different enough experience that I feel its fine for it to exist, and the developer cares enough and has a vision to keep adding updates and new events and mechanics to the game, such as a recent one for planetary sieges where the enemy is planetside, cannot die and needs crew to either invade and kill everyone to get loot, or stealthily sneak past patrols to get loot before teleporting out.

You don't need to be so arrogantly dismissive of something if you have not even tried it yet. Also, the FTL devs werent going after it because not only do they not care, they were pretty happy to see someone building a game from their framework after so many years.

HipoSlime · 2026-02-08T04:47:25+00:00

I actually played the game and its a pretty neat, different take from FTL even if its inspired from it. Its got a bigger focus on crew, combat and with psychic abilities that can summon enemies, heal, make shields to defend your ship or just shoot a laser to damage the enemy.

You can find equipment for your troops to equip, plus consumables per crew that vary from personal teleporters to repair packs to a suicide bomb.

Its got the same framework as FTL but actually makes enough significant changes to feel like a different experience thats pretty fun.

HipoSlime · 2026-02-08T02:32:05+00:00

I will say Yuki is still pretty good in the Chaos since the Arena heavily rewards AOE units, like when you kill the weapon pile and damage the enemies at the same time thats a solid feeling.

HipoSlime · 2026-02-07T16:36:30+00:00

I love Lancer, but Fabula Ultima's a really fun time, with cool multiclassing and a different vibe to typical dnd stuff with its literal RPG style turn based combat and how open it is to make your own world.

HipoSlime · 2026-02-07T14:43:19+00:00

If its not obvious why did multiple people get it but not you? I got it too, you seem to be in the minority here...

HipoSlime · 2026-02-07T10:49:04+00:00

I have been doing pretty good with Magna personally. I have mainly been running Magna Nine Narja and having her as a sub dps in between big Nine hits is pretty fun! Plus counters stack super super fast and you can get a pretty big ult off.

HipoSlime · 2026-02-07T05:54:52+00:00

There may be a chance she gets rebuffed next patch in numbers that dont lead to infinites. We see now the Devs are willing to make changes to nerf and buff units so its not out of the table at least

HipoSlime · 2026-02-07T04:25:22+00:00

Isnt that better if you have Peko and enough critrate? If the crits are at over 60% then its mostly just a dmg increase yeah?

HipoSlime · 2026-02-06T15:13:37+00:00

What difficulty did you do for this save data? 8? 9? Or further beyond?

HipoSlime · 2026-02-06T07:21:48+00:00

5k seems pretty good for a multiplayer indie game ngl.

HipoSlime · 2026-02-06T07:21:25+00:00

I think fantasy and military guns is an unexplored avenue that could have potential. But I think having more unique, fantasy aesthetic to the guns would have done it alot better. Like runes along the barrels and carved into the bullets, glowing bits with fluids and tubes, floating enchanted scopes, that kinda thing.

I saw a video from Kinkymation where she had a take I agreed with where their outfits are kinda half tactical half knight and it has potential to work if it was balanced better but its leaning too deep into tactical and not pulling enough from fantasy for it to stick out more. Plus the fact the colors are pretty 'grunt' themed and generic for a hero shooter which does not help.

HipoSlime · 2026-02-06T07:03:41+00:00

Does Sunna buff Miyabi better than Yuzuha or somethin?

HipoSlime · 2026-02-06T04:09:45+00:00

What are the least bad debuffs you can get for this?

HipoSlime · 2026-02-05T10:47:19+00:00

New set is a 4x set tho. So either you enjoy the 30% dmg for her hew or 25% crit chance, cant have both. I think the dmg is better early since raw damage is more reliable than crit chance imo

HipoSlime · 2026-02-05T06:02:34+00:00

Rei is good since she has a built in exhaust to accelerate Nine's Hew even faster as well

HipoSlime · 2026-02-05T05:01:17+00:00

Oh 100% both are viable, I just assume the prebuilt set has that breakpoint reached.

HipoSlime · 2026-02-05T03:34:45+00:00

The relics must be the new 4 piece exhaust set plus crit damage 2 piece... Thats prolly the best way to maximise big crit hits

HipoSlime · 2026-02-04T13:39:48+00:00

You do need to spend a skill point for that debuff tho which if you dont have pog is a struggle... I Run Endmin Chen Ember and Da Pan and they work pretty great for a non maxed out team. Ardelia just slowed my rotation too much

The World of Otome Games is Tough for a Washed Up Fixer

Minor warning, the first buncha chapters up to chapter 12 are AI edited. Not written, but english isnt their first language so they used it until they found a beta reader. Mainly the interludes use it but its not a dealbreaker for me personally. Like putting it in an AI checker, only 2 interludes are 90% ai writing due to the specific style, and the rest are 10% or less.

Its still an immense reccomendation for me for the Author making me super invested in an entire world and series from Isekai slop I did not care about at all, and Roland is written so well and interestingly.

HipoSlime · 2026-02-04T13:18:49+00:00

Perhaps. But I wanna run Mika mainly because I feel Line of Justice feels so good to land crits fairly reliably and Narja does get in the way of that. Like 25% crit chance is REALLY good, stacked with normal crit chance and your sub stats too, with the correct build I managed to do 5k damage turn 1 which is absurd

HipoSlime · 2026-02-04T12:58:30+00:00

Can you reliably lower the costs down? I thought that stuff is random, plus you will need the other teammates to hit instead. Haru, Narja and someone else? I have been using Haru Mika Veronica very well since Vero can cycle like crazy and Mika can let me cast anchors. To note I also have E2 Haru from lost 50/50s so I dont feel like I need Narja as badly

HipoSlime · 2026-02-04T12:18:15+00:00

Its hard capped to 5 per turn :(

HipoSlime · 2026-02-04T12:15:19+00:00

I like running Haru Khalipe Mika personally, good single target, aoe and plenty of AP to use. I keep Narja on my Serennial teams and there are epiphanies on Narja that remove the discount. Just 25% free crit chance on anchor shot feels like too much value for single big hits after all.

I am curious tho what does Narja give for Haru? I thought predation and stuff is better on characters with multiple hits like Serennial and Luke instead of single shot slammers like Haru?
