If all that ever becomes is a procedurally generated Google Earth Flight Simulator then it would be a better game than Starbound

Thanks for this derail, I have No Man's Sky on google alerts and still failed to find any good new videos. I guess we won't really have enough for a separate thread on that game until it actually comes out and we can share coordinates or whatever, and even then it seems more like a game to occasionally pop in and chill out with rather than constantly play it until you have a billion spacebux. I'd still totally play it though.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but has anyone played Interstellaria? It looks to me like Chucklefish is giving up on Starbound and just publishing someone else's take on the same kind of game.

It's a good thing you didn't. Craft the World bungled it immensely by enforcing a very linear, nonsensical tech tree that gets reset each 'campaign' world, limiting your mana resource that refills ridiculously slowly (or refilled upon 'level up' that is only effective in the early parts of the game where you don't *need* to spend mana), and making the end bosses stupid bags of health and damage that your dwarf AI can't handle well.

I can't believe this went up over 10 days ago and I haven't seen it. It's pretty neat! But still hardly a good indication of moment to moment gameplay, just a lot more flying around and "let me tell you a thing we might do while looking at things in the distance". Also they once again spent a huge amount of the video just scrolling through the starfield. I could do that in Starbound. It's not impressive.  e: also did you guys notice in Terraria money is always good to find and stays relevant for basically the entire game while in Starbound pixels are a loving joke Mayostard posted:I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but has anyone played Interstellaria? It looks to me like Chucklefish is giving up on Starbound and just publishing someone else's take on the same kind of game. Indie games often go "retro" on visuals for various reasons but "retro" UI is such a terrible idea because UI is one of the things games took forever to get right and those huge bulky obnoxious UIs from the early 90s are not something we ever need to go back to.

Huh, Interstellaria is out? I threw some money at that on a whim. I'll give starbound this, I got a key for backing it on time and didn't find out it was released secondhand  EDIT: At least it took about 3 minutes for them to pop up and say "That's gonna be sorted after we put put out the new build, sorry about that!"

All they needed to do was make space Terraria with random quests. Didn't even have to be good. Hell, they even lucked into a tolerable game for a while, but goddamn did they prove it was only luck.

Chucklefish is an amazing publisher. Designer? Not so much. Interstellaria is a goon-made-game btw. I forget which goon though.

terraria was successful because it does a lot yet doesn't overdo poo poo and the overall aesthetics are at least okay. the gameplay/progression won't be everyone's thing but it's a thing for enough people to where it's loved to whatever extent. the combat is relatively simplistic and they used that as a springboard to come up with a wide variety of ultimately unique and fun to use poo poo so you can kinda 'customize' your character worth half a poo poo instead of trying to rely on an incredibly halfbaked random generator to give the illusion of variety. it's not perfect, but there's some very distinct reasons why it's been so successful. timing might have been part of it, who knows.

Does Chucklefish have anything to do with developing Interstellaria? They're pimping it a lot on their forums and twitters. Looks like a cute little game and the price is right but I'm not buying another Starbound.

"terraria does a lot, but doesn't do too much" "it looks okay" "some people don't like ho the game plays and progresses, but some people do" "characters start the same, but later, they're different" but for real I think that timing may have been a big factor for terraria's success and following updates, which is kind of strange to think about since the timing was not really their own at all. If I recall, the game got leaked, which forced the devs to release the game earlier than intended so that they weren't hurt in the long run.

Terraria's expert mode is kicking my rear end, but I'm having a lot of fun getting my rear end kicked by all the different types of enemies and eventually overcoming them. That is something I would never say about a game where there's like 2 different enemies that show up over and over again wearing different clown costumes each time

like, you go to the jungle and it's got these hornets and maneater plants and things. stuff inflicts poison, which at that point you've never seen before. slimes and aerial enemies with projectiles is new at that point. the way the maneaters work as stationary creatures with long stretching necks that pass through terrain makes your positioning/approach really matter. this is how you make enemies feel interesting from one place to the next

Looks like a cute little game and the price is right but I'm not buying another Starbound. Published it, but Interstellaria's a mostly finished state (it's a proper release, not early access.) It's also...kind of its own beast despite similar graphic styles. It's far, far more about your ship/fleet and crew management.

I've only played a little bit of Interstellaria so far but I like it's style, I wonder if I'm reading things wrong or correct in the implication you can run multiple ships at once? There is a pause button but I expect mid combat repairs to be pretty hectic considering you have to pilot your ship to evade enemy fire while also managing the other stuff. So far my main wishlist item is making it easier to select specific people in a grouped up bunch, or quick select people on the far side of the map blending in with the background (sky blue robot, meet sky blue sky). But it does have a fast forward button handy for "I've killed everything in this area, time to loot stuff!" The auto-loot also ignores items that explode, so people will only kill themselves like idiots on "gather resourses" mode if there are still enemies alive in their path. Shame the latest patch for bugs that never hit me, gave me bugs instead

I'm not sure how much interest there is in the game anymore among the goon populous, considering the last few pages of this thread, but my older brother (another goon) and I are considering opening a server on his stupidly high-tech computer (he's a sysadmin, so I trust him to do his best to keep the server running). We don't have all the details hammered out yet, but I thought a preliminary interest check would be a good idea. Wanna come play a lovely game with us?

It's a creative mode server, so general rules are: progress with or without god mods or god modes (i prefer progressing on my own) and don't be a dickboat. There are some mods we have; let me gather them up and make a dropbox link.  ((Frackin' universe is awesome: we have hella science and stuff and whole new biomes and music. Using the science equipment also negates the need for most of the stupid lovely main quests!))

Alright Y'all- this is a link to a folder with the mods the server uses: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ulh4nmsiszckadj/AAAt0bm1nubTS6n5V3MiICJda?dl=0 ((this bitch wouldn't fit in dropbox for some reason: http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/creative-mode-complete-control-over-your-experience.614/)) Mods go in steam/steampps/common/starbound/giraffe_storage/mods, if you've managed to never use mods before. There are two different nightly backups, so it should be safe to build, and to play music.  ps- I've never used dropbox before- i'm fairly sure that folder can be downloaded; tell me if it can't be. To LOGIN: enter fenestris.com in the top box after selecting multiplayer. There is no account name or password required. Freakbox fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Jul 21, 2015 |
