Yes, I imagine it took some time for a handful of people to uproot, get passports, find housing in a different country, move to said country, find an office space, and prepare that office space? It's not exactly something that could be done in a week.

Pretty rad wizard posters and old school Mac converted in to a fish tank though.

yeah, i mean if i were waiting for a passport and searching for an apartment on craigslist for several months i would totally quit doing my job for that entire time as well. being on a computer and maybe going to a government office is hard work

i guess it's pretty normal for europeans to take several months off at a time though so whatever. the factorio guys are pretty much always on vacation

In other news, there's maybe gonna be a new unstable tonight, and they're still doubling down on the January date for the new stable.

It's a joke. For all those reasons you mentioned, setting up a new studio is a pretty legit reason why development would slow down for a couple months. But it didn't take them four months, and they kept releasing nightlies that whole time, too. I was satirizing the kind of criticisms they actually get.

i think there is a bit too much hate levelled toward the devs themselves here

the devs are all actually pretty cool people (i haven't really had any extended interaction with Tiy, so can't comment on that)

i dont blame them for moving offices

still, i dont know what exactly they have been doing all this time because to be honest, the game feels pretty much the same now as when it released

there are mods that came out within weeks that were really good and polished and made the game pretty significantly different in some ways, so I just wonder what the holdup is

It's kind of inevitable. When it's a studio people hate that. Once you get enough transparency so that people know about the people behind it, it inevitably gets personal. It's pretty ugly, but this is hardly the worst example.

starbound is like the girl you thought was out of your league but you manage to land her, but she gains a little weight and at first youre like, its ok, shes still hot enough and anyway i like her for her personality, only not only does she keep getting fatter but it turns out she cant hold a real job and keeps rotating cashier jobs an dyou realize that shes actually pretty dumb, but hey you know shes your girl and youre a loyal guy and then you find out shes also cheating on you and you find out she was sucking some other dudes dick when she would never do that for you but by now shes had yoour baby and youre either going through a messy custody battle, or you just accept the situation like a little bitch because you hope one day, one day, she'll lose the weight and come to her senses and be the girl of your dreams again. but deep in your heart you know that will never happen

nah starbound is the chick who is kinda cute so you hook up with her and then suddenly it's serious and you realize she's incredibly boring and stupid, but instead of just breaking up with her you repeatedly cheat on her and make fun of her behind her back

Starbound isn't a bad game. Your standards and expectations of what you thought starbound was going to end up being are too high. It's not a AAA title and never will be. I expect it to end up as a sub par experience at best when all is said and done. And hey, if it does end up better than I expected its nice to be pleasantly surprised.

Also 15bux isn't allot, just saying...

Edit: also this is in no way an anti poo poo posting post. Just wanted to speak my mind. By all means poo poo post until you all die of dehydration.

the thing is that they've been developing this game for what, three years now? and they're still trying to figure out fundamental gameplay elements like mining and combat, and trolling the community by doing the exact opposite of what everyone wants.

I am European and find that highly offensive.

Seriously though I moved from Canada to Ireland, from Ireland to Holland, and from Holland to Australia, and each time had at most a week break. But I guess the fact that I don't have millions of dollars to cover 9 years worth of expenses without having to worry or interrupt my masturbation session is the reason. (yes i know they kept releasing nightlies, i poo poo every day too)
