I mean I could say "it's not finished yet", and it might be relevant to this topic to bring up the alternate progression the game plans to have eventually, but speaking solely for what's right in front of us and can actually be played, that definitely stands out.

If this is nearly a year's progress then I have no loving idea when the game is going to be finished. The amount of content just is not worth the amount of time it's taken.

I certainly won't disagree. I like a lot of the changes so far but it's a loving glacial pace.

My feelings about the game are probably a lot less cynical because I mostly ignored the game for some months and now it's better suddenly.

The game will be done in 3 months when Chucklefish pulls a Double Fine. The developers have no clue how to design a game. They'll just add some more sprites, gently caress up the basic mechanics even more, and declare it a finished product. That's what happens when 90% of a dev team is made up of "artists".

It's different, I wouldn't say it's better. Most of the new stuff is good, but it's not good enough to make up for how bad some of the other new stuff is.

e: shukaro I'm stealing some elements from your OP, not many though. I don't want to waste my time making the exact same thing that already exists

To be honest I really don't see why all these progression/tutorial/gating quests are needed, let alone what they accomplish other than annoying you.

Is there a convenient list of mods that work with the new version, or alternately a pack of good mods already assembled for lazy people? I'm asking for a friend who wishes Starbound was a dick.

I'd put something in the title like [Winter Update], just to let people know there's a new update out.

OwlFancier posted:

For me the biggest poo poo is that in terraria, I have multiple choices about where to go, where to explore, or even what to do. I can go build a base, go mining for different types of ore or different items, explore along the surface for useful stuff, or fight a boss, and I can do them in any order.

Not only does starbound not have a big chunk of that, and what it does have doesn't contribute positively to your success like it does in terraria, but I couldn't choose whether I want to do it or not even if it did have it because of the stupid gating.

You do have a ton of options about where to go and explore, you have endless planets to go to... it's just that they're sort of functionally identical. Other than what sprites the trees use. If they could add poo poo to the planets to make them really unique in a way that mattered in a mechanical, gameplay sense, it'd help a lot. They're just scared shitless about doing that, 'cause then you'd be able to easily play through a whole game and never come across content & features that they put a lot of work into building. But that be good. It'd give you a reason to keep playing.

I've come around on their approach to Bosses, though. Using an item and having a boss just pop in and fight it is bullshit lazy game design, it's one step up from using admin command to spawn an enemy. I like that the bosses have a whole level built around them.

Serious answer is I think it's supposed to introduce you to basic mechanics of the game.
