Here's the really funny thing: according to every coder who's looked at the codebase, Starbound is a beautifully coded game. As far as code goes it's like a work of art. It just isn't a good game. Kyren's an amazingly talented coder, she used to code for the DoD and all kinds of crazy poo poo. The only downside to that is from what I've been told, she cares more about making pretty code than making deadlines/a good game.

Reminder: Kyren was the coder who wanted to make the announced pirate game (which nobody is working on at this point) in Haskell.

I played a few years ago, when it had the first official release, and the game was meh. Is it worth a reinstall and look around at this point?

Because I love a good opportunity to bring this up: Terraria stores (stored? not sure if it's still true currently) every single item in the game in a single monstrous if/else statement.

I'm sure it made sense when there were, like, 3 items

I'm going to turn the second post in the thread into a gigantic collection of every time someone asks if the game is good

just dozens and dozens of quotes, and just a "no" at the bottom of the post

e: and every time someone asks, they clearly didn't read the op, so I want everyone to just quote the entire post at them

Has the game, within a recent age, become unbad?

Diablo III is the best example I can think of. It was pretty bad at release, and Blizzard took drastic action to at least make it good.

Turns out Aseprite automatically upscales to 2x in the preview, but this is not reflected in the actual file. Whoops!

Here are some actual size pictures, my bad.

Plus this thing, which was originally going to be the AI station before I realized it was a bit too organic-looking, and also huge

Unless you were asking for the actual rock in which case

Thanks, though I'm amazed you were able to see them at all at 1x. Unless that was the joke.

In a weird way I've grown to love it every time someone says "it's an investment". You're putting money in and not getting money out, why do people keep telling themselves otherwise?

Why do you think investments are limited to currency?

It's perfectly valid to invest money to receive experiences.

Yeah, these are amazing. I feel like I saw a very early version of these before I started work on the Peglaci - I was jealous then and I'm jealous now of your skill!
