this game would be good if they fired half the art team (tiy for example) and hired a single new programmer.

Funnily enough they seem to have stopped developing the pirate game, dumped all the people into starbound and fired one of the programmers (OmnipotentEntity). Guy isn't even listed as a former developer even (though he still shows up on the listing on the Chucklefish website).

Also they added two more programmers but both their listings for background say they joined through their mod making.

Supernorn is okay his drive-by posting is kind of dumb but he doesn't seem to mind people making fun of him anymore which is nice

Magmarashi is also cool now that he's stopped popping in just to complain about people who complain about starbound

Slime posted:

yeah well according to your red text you like women who turn into toilets so you're probably biased on the matter of poo

Red text came up from someone telling a shitposter to take his complaints over to the gamedev thread, nothing happened from it so i shitposted in his stead.

apparently they didnt know the legend of our old moderator, AxeManiac?

I don't think that's actually terraria 2, just another terraria game. From what I heard it's got a different gameplay focus, it's more like a tower defense.

also i remember the art looking like poo poo from the trailer. i think. anyways, yeah, it looks bad.

Oh, apparently this "Clef - Things To Do In Starbound" mod linked a few pages ago is the reason I can't find titanium, it changes the distribution so it spawns everywhere and yet I've found it nowhere. Any tips from anyone actually playing this kusoge?

In vanilla it spawns mostly in eccentric star systems, so check there. Probably on Mostly Harmless or higher difficulty planets. Moderate planets have it for sure, but as usual you get your rear end kicked repeatedly until you find enough to craft the next tier of armor, then move on up and get your rear end kicked repeatedly again.

isn't this the guy who couldn't move to europe because he didn't want to move his wife and kids or something? if so it's less that he got fired and more like it was a mutual "smell ya' later, nerd"

I'm not sad about the dumb haskell-coded Pirate Game. I particularly lost interest when they showed all the different art-style mock-ups with an announcement that they were going with the "bog standard indie game" style of pixelated stick-legs.

Yeah but Dark Souls is fun and good. I tried playing the latest stable with a few friends and all but one of us burned out after about 30 minutes. The intro is so tedious I can't even bring myself to see all the additions they've made since I last played.

I used to think this game would be good :(

It was after but not too long after. It definitely wasn't '15, I've had this avatar for like two years now (I don't care enough about avatars to change it lol)

I got it because goons were getting really into posting about poop and making pee monsters and pee dungeons and then they started talking about how the ocean was scary, so I made post making fun of them and someone got mad and reported me and I got probied for it I think? and then came back with this lol
