Am I crazy for checking here instead of the official forums?
Is...is it dying or something?

I thought there was nightlies or something happening?

Are people just upset progress is slow? I'm scared to ask these things because "is starbound finished?" is asked each time I check in with sarcasm as answers but I just want to know if starbound is progressing.

If you want updates the website posts them every other day or so. You can also subscribe to the nightlies if you want to have a look at buggy broken versions of indev content.

For a real answer: the site updates almost daily with progress/plans and that sort of thing. Nightlies are a thing but you have to opt into them and most people don't bother because it's all seat of your pants stuff that breaks easily and isn't balanced out yet. So the official site is your best bet for news, and the updates are there if you want them, but most folks, myself included, are just waiting for the next stable, whenever that'll be.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can just back up your directory / stop updating if you find a Nightly with all of the neat features you want. I think. If nothing else, you can switch between nightly and stable with some light directory swapping.

I was posting updates and stuff, but yeah. Honestly, it takes like three seconds to type playstarbound.com into your internet browser, but even easier to endlessly post every day for months about a game you're trying to fool people into believing you're not interested in.

That is why games are better than films. Because I have a stake in it.


I am a loving pixel tier dude. I got the soundtrack (which is pretty good) and poo poo, i deserve better treatment than the loving plebs who just got suckered into buying this dead game.

Does the site get updated daily? Maybe I'm retarded (I do keep checking this thread :downs:) but I couldn't find any recent updates except that paper plane/beach ball one.

I wish more games featured women turning into toilets. I want toilet transformers.
Thanks for the entertainment guys but I've got a date tonight and torn ACL or not I'm not going to miss it. I value women primarily for their physical attributes and the one I'm going out with tonight is extremely valuable by that measure. She'll probably have to do most of the work and receive only 77% of the payoff, but that's the world we live in and I'd like to keep it that way.

I'm talking about sex btw, which I have and you don't, but feel free to picture my shirtless body running up and down the beach while you jack yourselves to sleep with tears tonight.

To their credit on second life comparisons, waaaay back the Starbound staff took DOWN a creepy impregnation mod somebody put up.

Doesn't change the fact somebody made one, and there were players upset at it's removal from the official site. But still :v:
