Was the new version posted in this thread? I don't remember seeing it, and I'm not touching Starbound for a while lest I get sucked in and lose any productivity. Also because there's a distinct lack of Novakids.

The only thing I really like better in the current one is the transition at the very end, after the energy form stands up it fades right to the player's character instead of first looking like a generic Peglaci like in that gif.

I've heard stuff about how the developers stopped working on this game. I personally stopped playing months ago due to other games (and wanting to wait for more content). Is any of that true or are people just angry that an alpha game is an alpha?

Development stalled a little when most of the team moved to London so they could work out of an office rather than over the internet. That's done with and now development seems to have picked-up again.

A long while ago (It's been years now) I played Katawa Shoujo and thought it was alright. Just to wonder how the community surrounding it is surviving I went to the board just now and holy crap there have been 2,292 KS general threads. A thread on 4chan lasts for about 500-700 posts before it starts to automatically head toward the purge. That's a loving lot of posting about an anime visual novel.

One time I went to /vg/, just to see if they had any good Starbound servers up. (This was some time in December. The game was barely even out.) But all I could find was people posting about an erotic RP server.

So these people on 4chan bitching about how "CHUCKLEFISH LIED!" are probably roleplaying a sexy Floran maid right this second.

It's basically just people whining that the devs aren't working 24/7 and putting out updates every ten minutes.

When I went there looking for a server to play on, there wasn't even that. :negative:

While I do not understand why it's a horse with breasts, I can totally see the Glitch using it as an AI avatar and being confused why other people dislike it, which I think is pretty funny!

Also I think that people getting actually upset about it are odd people - I can't imagine that something like this wouldn't just make you say 'hmm, that's weird!' and move on with your life.

On the plus(?) side, if they do put that in the game, they will pretty much generate somewhere in the region of 10 million in new sales overnight as bronies buy it.

I think you should ask for permission before you use the likeness of Sarah Jessica Parker, that could land you in trouble :(


(If they have personalities corresponding to their illustrations and what one could expect from that, that would be cool)

Honestly I figured the horse thing must have something to do with the still-mysterious Glitch backplot and single-player campaign. I imagine it speaking in a hilariously butch space ranger voice.
