You know, this game would be really good if it was just Space-Terraria in Space. I guess I'll just have to wait for Terraria 2

The best part of the horrible mess that is Starbound is that it has spawned a few knockoffs/similar games that may also one day have threads full of hilarious shitposting, like Interstellaria. I hope that one day it is as poo poo as Starbound.

its funny that those knockoff games have accomplished as much as starbound has in the year since its release than starbound has in the 3 years its been worked on but dont worry starbound devs have ALMOST figured out basic game play aspects like movement and mana Kly fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Dec 7, 2014 |

Vib Rib posted:My first thought was "holy poo poo what an ugly and unappealing UI" but then I looked at the rest of the screenshots and was relieved to see that the entire game is that ugly so at least they're consistent. Seriously, at least interstellaria seems to have some kind of progression other than grind material, get good poo poo, move to new level and start again. For a more similar game look at Signs of Life.

Then I guess they are already familiar with the shitposts they can expect if they gently caress it up. That simplifies things greatly and maybe we can skip the circlejerk part? Hopefully when the legions of derpy goons (like me) buy into the early access, both dev teams will relocate to Gold Mountain and sleep on bags of cocaine instead of mattresses.

Vib Rib posted:I'm mostly seeing tech demos so far, so maybe I'm biased. Also really not liking the art style, the limited palette especially is really visually grating. I like to think of Starbound as a sort of existential game. It defines its own rules, its own reason for being. You can't apply labels to it, it is quicksilver, it changes form from day to day! Perhaps one day it will decide to be a stable release, but today is not that day. Today it wants to fire weapons slowly. (seriously, are they actually getting value out of the nightlies? is there a giant community playing those?)

Today it wants to fire weapons slowly. Nope, they're not really any good to play and almost no one plays them. There's a very small amount of people who test them and provide feedback, but mostly it's a PR thing to let people sample the updates without Chucklefish needing to actually put any real effort or time into making an update. It helps, a little bit. It seems like most of the community is ok waiting. On the subreddit, a post just titled "Keep at it guys! A lot of us believe in you 100%" got hundreds of upvotes, the most support of any post in the past 10 months. But after 8 months without an update and no date in sight, no matter what you do people are gonna get rightfully tired of waiting. So yeah the nightlies do seem to be giving them value, that being to convince people (or trick them, depending on your PoV) that development is still healthy.

In retrospect, the entire development process of Starbound has been a huge loving red flag that most of us ignored because the game sounded awesome. It was announced in May 2012 and the original release date was "end of summer 2012." That seemed a little rushed at the time, but Terraria took all of 3 months to make so 9 or 10 months to make a similar game that was larger in scope with a larger team seemed doable. Starbound's design has not changed in size or scope at all since the original announcement. More than two years after the originally proposed release date, and more than a year after the game being thrown on Early Access to appease the fans, we may get an unstable update to Phase 1 (of 3!) of the beta, the first in 8 months. They don't have a loving clue what they're doing; they're just flailing around at random hoping that whatever changes they make that day receive more positive feedback than negative.

Are you saying Terraria was created in 3 months from scratch? That is hilarious.

Ragequit posted:Are you saying Terraria was created in 3 months from scratch? That is hilarious. Sorry, it was 4. January-May 2011. It was released early due to the beta leaking, and at release it had around a quarter of the content it does now. The fact that Terraria's content has expanded several times over and has even had entirely new gameplay systems added by a smaller development team that has taken months-long breaks between updates does not help Chucklefish's case.

The Terraria that was originally released would be like if Starbound came out and had only the starting planet, a bunch of random ores in it, and combat was even more broken. Sure it also had fun things like being able to place torches underwater but even today that game has some serious QoL issues. The only real break the Terraria team took was when the guy decided the game was 'done' and stopped working on it to relax with his family. Even then the PS3 version was developed by another studio as was some of the new content so even at the time of that announcement he may have been negotiating that deal. Bashing Starbound because it hasn't put out a stable for a long time is one thing, but you're just making poo poo out about Terraria, the game that launched (early or not) with edited Final Fantasy sprites as characters.

The Terraria that leaked and was released early had the dungeon, hell, meteor spawns, skylands, a ton of equipment and weapons, and the three "main" bosses
