Into the Breach - What FTL's Devs Did Next

[@Alius187]

You know you're in for a good time when the video is more than an hour long and immediately you are greeted by "Excited-about-a-game-Jon" :D

[@kieransaul2711]

The "ooh-hoo-hoo!" seals it.

[@bloodied_reaper1510]

This is FO3: Kill Everything Jon. You can *hear* the smile...

[@ryderlochlan4721]

you prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any help you can give me!

[@wyattmaximus2684]

@Ryder Lochlan instablaster :)

[@ryderlochlan4721]

@Wyatt Maximus i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@TallDarknGruesome]

i'm 30 minutes into this, and 50% of me want to see the rest, and 50% want to put my fist through the screen every time Jon doesn't realize that movement order changes his options

[@bengwa7]

"i'm getting good at this" 2 seconds later his guy falls down a hole.

[@Jawhosimawhatsit]

You've played this for 3+ hours and haven't noticed the attack order button?! I thought the -1 perception thing was just because you're commentating lol edit: THERE'S AN UNDO MOVE BUTTON YOU EGG CARTON!!!

[@DrLengen]

I was trying to click the "Reset Turn" button on my screen. It makes me sad...

[@rthanejehxbejws]

It’s not a joke, he just doesn’t notice things

[@MrOrdosan]

my favorite is still probly from that shadow assassin game. were hes like "idk how hidden these collatables are since i havnt found one yet" as he stares at one on the ground and passes it up only to point it out in post XP

[@Freekymoho]

My "favorite" -1 perception Jon moment is from Orwell, where he thought a couple flirting with each other were conspiring to move illegal drugs covertly

[@Kaiimei]

10 minutes in, I'm already screaming "NO JON, MOVE THE MECH TO THE GUY ATTACKING THE BUILDING! Then you could have moved the tank, done 1 damage and moved an insect onto one of the spawn points, killing it, and stopping a spawn, then used the artillery on the last bug to do some damage!" I really am such a backseat gamer, and I love it!

[@bengwa7]

Me 2.. oh so much

[@Triaxx2]

Not to mention at least one spot where he could have totally avoided any damage to anything by considering all his options. Such as using the artillery to push one bug into another and reducing it's health to kill with the mech while using the tank to save the Corporate HQ. Chat's going to die this weekend.

[@JacoDeltaco]

yes but to be fair he does make poor chose

[@tommerker8063]

i'm usualy not that bg of a backseat gamer, but jons low perception realy got me this time xD jon:"there is no possible way to do this" when there are like 3 ways he can do it, then he even moves his guys to the right position and fires in the opposite one xD maybe he is just doing it on purpose ;)

[@nateferria4169]

Jon killing one of his own units by forgetting about the cataclysms was the most predictable thing I have ever seen on this channel, and I loved every second of it.

[@Tonatsi]

"So um FTL style: Easy is Hard Normal is REALLY C***ING HARD Hard is HAHAHAHAHAHAHA screw you" I love this guy

[@Drew_42]

You can just hear the happiness in Jon's voice as he introduces this game.

[@tzeneth]

Watching John sometimes feels painful. The amount of damage he does to his own units and that turn where he killed his tank. You could have used the artillery shell to kill the back guy, then moved the tank to the artillery shot and shot the 2 health guy into the mountain, killing it, and then had the robot punch the last guy... One should not watch this video if prone to backseat gaming. John's perception is not the best at the puzzle action game.

[@kieransaul2711]

There was that one FTL livestream where he nearly beat the Rebel Flagship on hard mode. DOUBLE PIKE BEAM!

[@DZ-1987]

I think we can still conclude that Jon is an utter idiot.

[@minscandboo9749]

You know a game is good when Jon over tests it...

[@Ben-nk3cx]

I have never seen this game before. Now I see it come up in my sub feed twice in 5 mins. Fuck it I’m buying it!

[@idunbeezasmart1]

Note to all other game developers: Even though we are less than 2 full months into 2018, I regret to inform you that you all will now be competing for slots 2-10 of Jon's annual Top 10 picks. Thank you for your submissions and don't feel bad. 2nd place is pretty darned swell, too! Edit: A surprise release of Fallout 5 is the Golden Snitch, but barring that, you devs crank out the best 2-10th place games you can!

[@Kaiimei]

This really doesn't seem like guaranteed 1st place material over stuff like Abandon Ship, Stellaris Apocalypse, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, My Time In Portia, Thrones of Brittania, and plenty of other games that Jon has already played this year and will play this year. 4/5/6th place seems like a nice place for it though.

[@rthanejehxbejws]

Fireflux You underestimate the power of Jon’s fanboy. But if I had to pick now I would say Abandon Ship will take his top spot

[@michaelswitzer2121]

Wow the guys behind FTL made a game and unlike 75% of the games coming out now it's not anything like FTL

[@aryasuri9421]

Genuine question, what games are like FTL?

[@peterbabicki8252]

I both love and hate this. Everytime Jon misses a seemingly obvious solution I die a little inside.

[@Tonatsi]

You see, when I first saw this game on my FTL news page, I was like “eeeeeh, doesn’t look thaaaaat good..... maybe I’ll see it in a year or two...” But now, after watching this, I remember WHY I spent 1500 hours on the first game! 😅

[@crispybacon4240]

"You can kill giant bugs by punching them into mountains." SAY NO MORE, I WILL - aww, 11 hours until it unlocks? But I wanna play it nooooooowwww!

[@amyshaw893]

the soundtrack for this game is absolutely amazing. Fits really well over video of a barren wasteland

[@tucker7976]

Jon, you knew exactly what you were doing when you "Turned it on to see if everything ran correctly!" 3 hours never just happens....

[@sharpe3698]

tucker7976 you've obviously never been fully pulled into a game of you haven't lost time to one.

[@tucker7976]

I was being ironic....I live Jon's sense of humor. Calm down

[@sniperwiper09]

three hours.. 5 hours... damnit im hungry what time is- oh... happens all the time to me heh.

[@bitequation314]

Came back to this after seeing the trailer for the advanced edition that came out today. Hopefully Jon brings it back when that comes out, because this is one of my all-time favourite games.

[@Laughing_Pumpkin]

Before he said anything about the writer for new Vegas being in this I was thinking, "this music sounds really new vegasey" and now I'm happy

[@goatbot9733]

You turned it on to see if it ran correctly...sure Jon, sure

[@ManyATrueNerd]

And to check it's resolution, the UI scale, whether my recording software works with it - there are legitimate reasons to turn on a game for 5 minutes before recording!

[@goatbot9733]

I understand that there are plenty of good reason but I'm just saying that sounds like it wasn't the only reason for it. Can't really blame you though, it looks like a pretty well designed little game

[@ManyATrueNerd]

There are so many touches that are awesome too. Like if you have the grappling hook for pulling over enemies - fire at a fixed thing like a mountain and you pull yourself over to it.

[@goatbot9733]

It'll be interesting to see what strategies actually come out of these touches. Sometimes it's the small things that are overlooked which can be rough on the presentation. Are you planning on doing any more of it or is it just more of glimpse of it for the time being?

[@Paidraig]

I feel like Jon should have used the artillery to move his mech over one of the spawn points, rather than playing whack-a-building with a bug... but that was a valuable piece of information learned.

[@anselmschueler]

When? (Timestamp)

[@agentnuget]

Jon! Your perception is -1. At 54 (the hq match) if you had moved the tank to the reinforcement square and then shot down to the bug attacking the hq you would of saved the hq. Then move the artillary so it can attack the bug next to the tank, saving your grid AND getting your tank to safety.

[@kyleflorence8042]

I wonder if Jon would enjoy 'Banner Saga'. Seems up his alley.

[@datboihans8109]

Being a big advance wars fan i really enjoy seeing this ! The soundtrack is on point too !

[@brentos3674]

I have no hair left after watching Jon miss all of the good and obvious moves.

[@UnsoberIdiot]

"Jon, you're getting good at this!" Good timing there.

[@mishka1569]

Not even one minute in and I'm already sold on this game, can't wait for it to release on Steam!

[@CesarTheKingVA]

I can tell Jon is going to be excited just by the title

[@rikithelegendaryheropon8135]

Picking this up tonight!!!! Riki so excited

[@beastmodegamer7369]

Jon can you do a stream of this because this is a nice and cool game and I want more

[@kieransaul2711]

I bet that will be coming sometime in the near future.

[@Jawhosimawhatsit]

Did you do the thing where you're playing at a higher res than 1080p? Because the UI looks a lot smaller than a twitch stream i watched last night...

[@Deathfang89]

Thanks Jon, I am definitely buying this gem

[@MRRJ6549]

Love to see more of this

[@maximthemagnificent]

This playthrough was very, very useful indeed.

[@Jaxvidstar]

28:12 That animated preview attack reminds me of Luffy's first fight in gear second against Bruno of CP9. 1:15:35 You should've attacked the left of the bug which would commit suicide by jumping into a chasm instead onto your mech.

[@Impossinator]

Ive waited so long for this

[@SirMoribund]

Looking forward to more of this.

[@old3nglish_234]

This video was very very useful indeed.

[@Berssange55]

I love when achievements give you in game rewards.

[@bryanweeks3843]

I'm literally watching the clock waiting for this one to release on Steam. If it weren't for Jon, I'd never hear about all these great games.

[@niccolemanz]

Look so bloody good. Well done devs, totally worth the wait.

[@scottlandry4723]

more of this please

[@RhysClark97]

Stylistically this game is exactly like FTL, the hud, the aesthetic, the upgrading system, the menus, the music...but mechanically, it is like night and day compared to FTL...cant wait to play it

[@jamesocallaghan2699]

Can i buy my robots with microtransactions or lootboxes?

[@Mikes_Vices]

Only if this was published by EA-ctivision. :-)

[@AnonEyeMouse]

That's soooo 2017. When I want a new pack of three t shirts and a new table in the Sims 4, I just let EA cut off one of my fingers. You can get a proper expansion if you let them cut off one of your nuts or tits. I'm planning to give them my first born to get an Anthem season pass.

[@AnonEyeMouse]

Clearly.

[@brosephnoonan223]

Its not a good game unless you can.

[@thelegend8570]

microtransactions are the devil.

[@confusingdalek709]

Not watched yet: I am both excited for seeing INTO THE BREACH YEAAAAAH and also kinda anticipating "jon is sometimes shit at games that vaguely involve strategt (and ftl quite a bit)"

[@confusingdalek709]

Yup jon didn't realize killing two buildings at once via bug relocation isn't just dealing double damage to the meter because bugs are hard.

[@BewareofTarps]

A game that requires tactical awareness, strategy, and noticing things that aren't exactly subtle but also aren't flashing in huge red letters on screen (and even then not always), and it's the first or second time he's played? Yeah, we can generally predict how that will go ahead of time.

[@rygelxv]

Jon, do you know cogmind? It´s my favourite roguelite, with robots. Would love to see you playing this.

[@gkeegan2676]

Well, that was just very, very fine, indeed!

[@Simon-ki3gg]

i didnt see it was 1 hour long and never realised till the end

[@LoriH2O]

With the train... you could have just done Undo Move instead of resetting the turn. Also, going over max power increases your grid defense.

[@darkangel77450]

loving all of your work...one request though...can you do fable 2 or 3?

[@jaredcicero3449]

Ooh story time let me get me tea and crumpets

[@VeraxonHD]

Can't wait to get this.

[@loveless8241]

Ive been waiting for this.

[@jay-fn3nm]

gotta try this one when i stop playing FTL but i doubt i ever will

[@johnnydugas1970]

Oh, it's advance wars mixed with starship troopers

[@justincarnes1656]

Advance Wars... That's why this seemed so familiar.

[@ManyATrueNerd]

I'm not sure I'd make that comparison - the focus on positioning enemies by pushing them around isn't really a thing at all in AW. But I suppose for certain mechs, it would be.

[@johnnydugas1970]

Many A True Nerd yeah, I guess I mean more like rush hour, the board game

[@legion999]

Many A True Nerd It kind of seems more like a puzzle game

[@Calumba1904]

Can this be the next stream?

[@ManyATrueNerd]

CONFIRMED.

[@Calumba1904]

Many A True Nerd Well that’s just made my day :)

[@yashmody1]

Yaaay! Now I'm gonna try to watch/listen to the stream and play the game at the same time. The chaos of trying to come up with solutions for one map, while listening to (and periodically looking at) someone else trying to find solutions for a completely different map...

[@metalman895]

And it's coming out tomorrow!

[@thelegend8570]

So what you're telling me here is that this is basicaly space chess?

[@sniperwiper09]

ive played alot of ftl, and i didnt honestly habe high expectations of this... i was clearly underestimating this team... drasticly so at that

[@hardticket123]

Apparently there are special rewards for doing an island perfectly.

[@stuchris]

would love to see more! :)

[@maxwellguy7111]

Love the video, but now I have a headache. So many other moves you could've done. AHHHHH! Also -1 perception for playing a game for 3 hours then noticing the attack order (Hopefully soon the Undo too).

[@Gorbz]

Hmm. A similar story to Megas XLR. At least, for the first 5 minutes of the show

[@quillanjacobson1478]

I'm literally pissed about what a good move Jon had at 1:04 and he decided to destroy the flippin objective instead

[@lewisturner3597]

+Many A True Nerd can you do more videos on they are billions cause i love the game as well as your channel

[@GAnimeRO]

I really hope Subset Games is gonna get more successfull, so far they've created great games that actually deserve to be called a game, unlike many other AAA titles.

[@elsasslotharingen7507]

You should have taken a movement upgrade for the mech, you could have saved the satelite.

[@Rateus_Johanson]

There's something ironic about protecting a power plant from aliens as it is hit by a tidal wave.

[@CallingCrowe]

Primary mech, tank, artillery. Anyone else notice that the starting team is actually just Mobile Suit: Gundam?

[@drworm73]

I frankly find FTL to be just not my thing, but I immediately purchased this. looks great!

[@costlycoffee1265]

very very useful indeed

[@erikhouse7907]

Series please!

[@hyperionrobit3090]

Localized breaches? Nah! *K I N G C R I M S O N*

[@The66Hammer]

That sounds quite Bizzare.

[@randomguy3849]

HyperionRobit BUT HOW DOES IT WORK!?

[@hyperionrobit3090]

King Crimson basically deletes the next 10 seconds of time when it is activated. If I were to use King Crimson, then shoot a waffle, the waffle would go strait from not shot, to shot. Simple, really.

[@generalsolo5847]

I love story time with Jon

[@Dudbun]

I think I might actually kinda prefer this over FTL? I dunno we'll see how multiple playthoughs go. Since I still enjoy FTL even though I've battled the final boss like 4 or 5 times since I got it :P

[@ChristophFloat]

30:55 ...because of the wonderful things she does!

[@givemeshrubs4295]

"very very ( insert corresponding adjective) indeed"

[@devereuxj1476]

Good vedio m8!!!! Really interested

[@paper__crane]

I’m pretty sure that’s an “Undo Move” button there, Jon...

[@jaredcicero3449]

You all heard it jon says he wants to do hard mode next time

[@TheRisingAnarchy]

You had me at FTL :D

[@xxTONIGHTYOUxx]

i wish i could play this now! youre lucky!!!

[@thomasesr]

OMG THIS SOUNDS AWESOME!

[@possiple2126]

Count how many times he says "Very very useful indeed".

[@kilmo9]

Jon, have you ever considered playing 7 days to die? I think I would enjoy that series

[@sambongi6155]

Stellaris Apocalypse, Abandon Ship, and now Into the Breach... is Steam trying to bankrupt me??

[@anselmschueler]

"Very very useful indeed"

[@theexplodingspider4352]

I don't think my weapons will have much effect...

[@SteamCraftOfficial]

Do I smell a new Livestream??

[@legion999]

Do you think Jon ever discovered the Undo Turn button?

[@TheDelta0seven]

at the top left you have "undo move"

[@boomerpro87]

"giant stompy time travling robots that punch monsters into other monsters" that is the most epic description of anything ever in the history of things that have been described

[@bjrn2010]

It is a really cool idea, but it feels like a game you'd download on your phone, play for a day and then forget all about it.

[@IAmAnEvilTaco]

So did ftl, but neither is.

[@jazzhandsparten]

-1 perception... multiple times... many -1 perception.

[@lpetersen2013]

So good

[@TYKUHN2]

Sacrificed grid power to save 1 Mech HP.

[@iMassdebate10]

Ever try SFD?

[@TheHuntermj]

*UNDO MOVE BUTTON*

[@Arkandos42]

UNDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@5Andysalive]

Amazing how sometimes tastes can be so completely different. FTL like with turnbased combat.... It's pretty much a perfect no-go match for me. Still, you do your enthusiastical you.

[@legion999]

Despite Jon's words, this doesnt seem to be anything like FTL.
