I can't believe this thread has reached the point of going back 2 goddamn years to name and shame people for being hopeful for an unreleased/recently released game as some sort of complicated, unfunny 'gotcha!'

Those old posts don't seem very 'nay-sayer' to me. I'm sure the people are now, like the rest of us, but those seem more positive and hopeful. :shrug:

LotRO's .ABC system blows Starbound's out of the water. You can turn your keyboard into a midi instrument and actually play the music in real-time. It's what I thought Starbound was going to do and for the longest time it was the feature I was most hyped about

LotRO was where we got the idea from. If I recall the whole thing started as sideproject Bartwe did for fun one weekend.

Yeah it always seemed like something quick and simple to throw in so it's not like it's a killer thing, I'm just a big gay baby for fun, unnecessary things in games like LotRO's instruments and cosmetic stuff. I figure the ability to actually play the instruments has a decent chance to show up sometime down the line but I won't be disappointed if it won't.

I'm really surprised nobody just took bits of my mod and kept running with it when I just stopped caring about this game. I figured someone on the starbound forums would, but I guess the terrible "nobody can use anything anyone else made ever" mindset of minecraft modding carried over.

That or people just stopped caring.

Our policy is to let people continue developing other people's abandoned mods, as long as they can show they have permission from the original mod author. It's happened a couple times as far as I'm aware.

I could've sworn I posted about it. I think a new thread got made at some point? Kinda haven't paid attention to it for a year and a half.

It was 1930s bug people. Turns out adding a new race to the game is waaaay too much loving work, and the race json file structures kept getting changed every update.

EDIT: I was also having a lot of problems coming up with ideas for armor and weapons beyond the type of spacesuit you'd see in comics of that era.

Are races still reskins? I figured they'd end up with some gameplay differences at some point.

As someone who also made a bug-person themed race mod and put a ton of effort and time into it, yeah gently caress race modding

Does the armor even do that thing where a race's armor will give you bonuses for complete sets yet?

Theyve said they can continue working on starbound for NINE YEARS without any additional income, that was about a year ago. So starbiund will be v1.0 in eight years and will be pretty much the same as it is now but with more grinding.

I wanted Starbound to be a good game. I really did. I was a Chucklefish apologist full of hope and joy for a while.

Now I'm a cynical, broken man who hates video games. All of them.
