Broand posted:My complaints about the setting would mostly be around that it doesn't feel that consistent. You can venture into areas made entirely out of bones and tar or eldritch-esque tentacles or flesh and then go somewhere different immediately afterward that is silly and nonsensical, or your character would comment humorously on an object while they were in the middle of a torture room. Pos get some hate probably because they're based in sewers. Dark, dirty tunnels filled with cute smiling poos is kinda jarring, sort of like they've been imported from some other game.

CJacobs posted:It should be like that by default. It really should. Vib Rib posted:I don't know. It doesn't feel any more schizophrenic than say, Terraria, which juxtaposes internet memes and silly enemies with spike-covered metal flaming skulls straight out of a middle schooler's doodled notebook margins. Nobody ever seemed to mind about that. But because Starbound has actual lore a lot of folks seem to be treating it really seriously. Is it really the "Lore" that did/does that? Starbound always seemed to be more of a sort of cartoon to me. Goofy robots that act like knights, carnivorous plants with lolrandumssssstab comments, Big Ape 1984, weeaboo fishpeople. I find it hard to believe that people look at that and say "oh, because there's some backstory written this must be a serious game."

Vib Rib posted:Then prepare to be surprised, because a little of that is all it took for people to instantly make their own preconceptions about the game before it even came out. People were griping that the poo monsters ruined the "serious" tone of the game before it was even playable. They just sort of made up in their heads what the tone of the game was and then, when they found out they were wrong, blamed the developers for not adhering to their imagination. I don't know about everybody else but I can't take a cartoony pixel block game with sarcastic space robots that think they're medieval people the least bit seriously. Incidentally those are some of the same things that make me like Starbound.

^ ^ ^ I always thought they'd be bartenders. But yes, that would be punny.half of Reddit posted:starbound is supposed to be ~serious~ There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Some of them just happen to be poo golems and horse-headed women with outsized racks. Space is fuckin' weird.

Man, I think i'm suffering a burnout on modding Starbound. I coded a research system where you get genes from monsters using a sampler, identify them with a microscope and then find combinations that yield new recipes for you to use, but now that i've finished the infrastructure and it's time to do content, my brain just keeps sliding away from it and puking at the thought of working on stuff anymore. Feels bad man.

This sounds awesome, like he said, farm out the content creation to other people. If the framework is easy enough to use anyway

I just got super burnt-out on spriting in starbound's style, so I'm waiting a bit to go back to it. There was like 5 people using my race anyways. Everyone else was just using the furry race ones.

How much has this game developed since it went early access? I bought it back then but it was a bit too bare bones back then so I put it off. So is this any closer to being finished nowadays?

Potsticker posted:Which race mods beside the Skellies are non-furry? Mine were 1950s bug people. They honestly stood out pretty well next to "Humans but more anime", "Generic Fantasy Elves", and "Prostitute Catgirls" as the early race mods. Then suddenly there was like 50 types of wolf/fox/etc people.

I actually don't mind the bird tits, cum guns, and poop monsters. I just don't want to look at Sarah Jessica Horsetits and somehow feel like I got trapped in HBO's "Sex in the Starbase". I mean those bitches whine more than any Starbound sperg.
