I feel like chucklefish hasn't earned a new thread. Not until they prove it's a good game with a new huge update.

I bought this game on hype and because :10bux: wasn't much and then ignored it for a year-plus as it became mired in whatever the hell has happened to it and never even touched nightly builds or anything like that. I and probably most people like me who just got the big Steam announcement would genuinely appreciate a new thread or some sort of rundown on the state of the game now this thing has hit from people who've been paying attention.

The bit thing for me was always progression because I still like a solid goal to work towards even when I'm building imaginary space-houses. Is this in yet?

Is the drat thing actually a good game yet?

There is now a quest hub, and a shitton of side-quests, and instanced stuff to test your gear / tech against.

I'm confused, is the update not actually out yet for stable? I thought the little steam splash/sale meant it was live but it doesnt seem to be

You'll have to looker deeper to find the answer to that question.

What is "stable"? Hell, what is "starbound"?

Think about it.

Why would you post a steam announcement before the new version is even out or tested. I don't understand.

So did they actually still need to push and test a nightly build before releasing the build today? Holy poo poo talk about getting ahead of yourselves.

The problem with all of these little errors is they're impossible to find until we've uploaded to steam, and uploading a new build to steam takes nearly 30 minutes each time. So we fix one thing and we find something else. It's very frustrating.

So why didn't they loving do all this FIRST, then say "update time!"? It's not like they had to do it today, tomorrow is still January and if they could get it out today all the better. Just do it first and then celebrate.

It looks like the artists have a lot of free time because everyone else keeps redoing what's already been done instead of making new poo poo.

The programmers are taking their time so the artists just get to do whatever. More poo poo! Different poo poo! Not new poo poo though, that requires programmers.
