Tachyon
About
Ever wanted to play FTL with your friends, as a team, in a coop multiplayer run?
Well basically Tachyon is a multiplayer version of FTL.
But with it's own engine, logic, mechanics and of course some additional features - like being able to leave your ship for example.
Also the game is made to be quite a bit mod-able, so you can create your own multiplayer adventures.
You can host your own local server for a private coop game with your friends. Or you can host an MMO server to roam around hundreds of thousands of sectors with other space pilots.
Tachyon is currently a WIP, so the amount of content is only going to grow.
But all releases are very stable and contain minimal amount of bugs.
Version a0.8.18 - Release notes:
Features:
- Full-screen option removed from settings menu
- Borderless window option added in settings menu
- Added movement propagation to improve network performance.
- It is now possible to teleport players between multiple owned ships.
Rebalancing:
- There are now less NPCs overall, but they are harder to kill.
Bug fixes:
- Hacking page was broken on high resolutions.
- Finally fixed the Space Disorder Syndrome?
(The oldest bug that made NPCs vent themselves into space and die there)
By default the game pack contains events configured to create a coop story mode universe. But several modders are already working on an MMO mod. You can get more details on this on our Discord channel.
Also a new story mode is being developed. It will contain a lot more different random events.
P.S.
Currently the game is being redesigned to have it's own and better sprites.
