tiy, maj eyal is a better game than you ever could have made and im convinced the only reason starbound is so pretty is because you were out sick one day and someone just put the art in the game

Rupert Buttermilk posted:On the topic of good EA games, Broforce! Johnny Joestar posted:nuclear throne is the posterchild for a game that actually did early access right These games are excellent. Ive put a decent chunk of time in Nuclear Throne, but im bad at games so ive only reached the throne once and that was like 6 or 7 months ago during a patch that made the game pretty easy. When it was fixed i was back to being bad and getting stuck at the junk yard. Broforce seems to be hit or miss on saving any data though. I dont know if its the steam cloud, or if the game just sucks at saving your stuff. I seem to lose the majority of what i unlocked in a session every time i play. Its a really fun game though.

Prop Wash posted:the original name was probably Skykiller before someone realized how dumb that was Starbound's in-development name for the team was always Space Terry but the original one(s) they wanted was Planetfall (which was taken by something else) and Crestfallen. Also looking back Tiy wanted people to move to the UK before the game was even debuted for preorder. So basically he wanted people to move the UK before he paid any of them a red cent.

The development name was actually Starship to start with and to this day that's what my work folder for it is called. Space Terry was just a nickname, I don't remember seeing it said much by the team. I lived in Spain before I moved to the US in 2012 and I remember he was planning on buying a house with the idea of having team members live with him to help progress. I was all for staying in England before I moved to the States but then he said he was going to charge rent so it never happened.

The employees of chucklefish aren't staying because they like it, they're loving prisoners.

I've worded that as diplomatically as I possibly can. Neither Bart nor I were fired so to speak, we were basically just cut out entirely after they all moved and were reduced to doing bitch work while they jumped from one idea to the other. Bart saw it coming and left almost immediately, I hung on for a while until I was informed one of the artists I wasn't very partial to was put in charge of me without my knowledge or input and I pretty much quit on the spot.

And I didn't think my opinion of Tiy could get any lower. I know you probably don't want to out of politeness or something, but I feel like I speak for everyone when I say I'd love to hear any juicy tidbits or insider stories about your experiences working with them. I love behind-the-scenes stuff, and with a bunch of fuckups like them I'm sure you've got at least a few anecdotes. You're not affiliated with them anymore, so it doesn't matter, right? If I'm remembering from the older threads, you're the one who originally designed the player sprite, correct? Who was the artist who got your job, and why didn't you like them?

When I originally posted those years ago in the thread I got frantic messages from people on the development team in the #starbound IRC channel asking me to edit it out of my post because it made them look bad. Amusingly, the guy whose photobucket I found it on still has the gifs in his album which is how I found them again.

Eonwe posted:Tiy was a pixel artist on Terraria right? When can I see some of his contributions to Starbound or was he just the ideas guy for this game Yeah, he was a pixel artist for Terraria. He was the one who made the ugly mess of a tileset that game uses. He's probably the reason Terraria looked like dogshit when it released. This somehow skyrocketed him into legitimacy because...?

On one hand I don't want this thread to turn into an anti-CFish mud-slinging circlejerk but on the other hand what the gently caress else are we supposed to talk about, they're not even updating the blog thick and fast at the moment, much less the game itself. Pretty upsetting stories, by the way. Really interesting to see just how much of a shitshow development for this game has been.

When can I see some of his contributions to Starbound or was he just the ideas guy for this game Tiy is basically an indie Ken Levine (this is not a compliment): does nothing to contribute, constantly asks for new poo poo and assets unrelated to actual development to be added, shits on people who have opinions contrary to him, has an overinflated sense of self worth stemming from being one of the only visible development members, and threatens to tank development by firing everybody at the drop of a hat. I fully expect when Chucklefish finally gives up the ghost under the sweatshop conditions they operate under (remember, most people there aren't UK citizens so they're working on visas in one of London's more expensive areas to rent) he'll pull the ejection seat on it and end up landing with a golden parachute smelling of roses. Also a thing in the #starbound channel during its early days was him hitting on anything female with a pulse until he found out they wanted nothing to do with him and then he proceeded to ignore them forever and shittalk them when they weren't there.

Wait what. When this game came out, it felt fine. Slap on a slightly better combat system, some better boss fights, the story/quest system that was promised, maybe some balancing tweaks, and it was ready to go out the door. And you are all telling me that since then, they've removed. - A better combat system they put in. - The boss fights - The randomly generated worlds, which includes the oddball creatures/random tombs/castle towns/whatever you'd occasionally find. - All racial quirks, maybe them all the exact same. ? And they still haven't put in the quest system they promised? WHAT THE gently caress HAVE THEY BEEN DOING FOR TWO GODDAMN YEARS. WHAT THE gently caress EVEN IS THIS GAME NOW. IT'S ENTIRE COOL ASPECT WAS LANDING ON PODUNK PLANETS AND FINDING RANDOM loving TOMBS TO EXPLORE. AND THEY loving REMOVED IT? JESUS loving CHRIST.

I always wonder why the gently caress he did this. It's not as though there's any clients that it's helpful to be close to, even if he was dead set on having all the staff come into a physical office there plenty of places that are much, much cheaper live than London.

Rookersh posted:Wait what. -Yes, it sucks now -No boss fights are still in and while they've taken some out they've put new ones in. -Procedural worlds and creatures and such with towns and dungeons are still in and there's more kinds of them and there's more stuff to see. -There never were racial quirks to begin with. Novakids glow in the next update though. -The quest system is largely in, there's just nothing to really do with it except for super linear story quests and boring bullshit colony quests. The system's in though. you should do more research, there are legitimate things to be upset/disappointed at but you only really nailed 1 out of 5 of your qualms
