Beacondark

About The Team

Beacondark is a family team born out of a desire to have FTL on android, and my children's love of learning and creating. Richard, their father, is a programmer. Bernard, 6, is the creative mind behind many, if not most, of the designs and creations you see. Alexandre, 9, future programmer, takes his brother's creations and digitizes them for me to polish. Although that last step he has been taking over progressively as well. For at least one hour per day, for many months now, we work together on our Lightspeed project, and hopefully many more to come.

Lightspeed

The Bloom is coming. It doesn't negotiate, it doesn't stop, and it's already consumed a hundred worlds between you and your target. Lightspeed is a sci-fi roguelite where you manage your ship, its crew of alien specialists, and strive to complete your impossible mission - or die trying. Coming soon to Android.

Terran

Adaptable humans from a handful of solar systems, fast learners who end up everywhere and hire cheap.

Nokki

Small, dextrous, touch-oriented mammals who repair twice as fast but avoid combat entirely.

Vreth

Large reptilian warriors who excel in combat, but take forever to fix anything.

Myriad

Tall cephalopods with skin that speaks complete thoughts at once — the Bloom's priority target due to their unrivaled neural complexity.

Growth

Slow-moving vine-and-tissue organisms with no brain, completely immune to the Bloom's nanites and able to survive in consumed atmospheres.

Lumen

Near-extinct energy beings who provide passive power to any system they operate, hunted by the Bloom as efficient fuel.

Delphae

Uplifted dolphins who boost all adjacent crew, and occasionally hint they saw the Bloom coming long ago.

We will keep you posted about Lightspeed developments.

Stonefall

Think 2048 meets curling — slide stones up the ice, and when two stones of the same level collide, they merge into a higher-level stone. Shoot into a dense cluster and the merges cascade. Keep merging to build your score, but if any stone drifts back past the launch line, it's game over. Coming soon to Android.
