Party Plane Jones posted:pffft, like any of the backer poo poo ever got accomplished. I believe they outright ignored 90% of them. Actually some of the weapons they showed off in updates looked like ones that were some backers' ideas, specifically that one with the magnet spheres or something, so it looks like maybe they did unless it was a coincidence. Speaking of which, I don't mean to disrespect people who paid for a game I helped make but some of the backers were seriously bad at understanding what was feasible. A lot of them didn't understand that "weapon" meant a gun that shot something, or a sword/axe/etc that swung and/or shot a projectile - so, sorry random weapon tier dude, I can't make you a Kamen Rider suit that also makes your character breakdance because you labeled it as a weapon.

I've spent $15 on a lot of different early access games, and a lot of them didn't live up to their potential. But I figured eh, whatever, it's fifteen bux, who cares Starbound is the only one where I wish I could get my fifteen bux back. Too bad I have over a hundred hours in-game (most of which were leaving the launch window open). This is the only early access game where I feel like a loving idiot for giving them money

That totally sounds like something i'd suggest if I were 10 years old, which seems to be the average age of the Starbound fanbase so  Maybe when the game comes out, they stop updating it, and mods can unfuck it, the game will be good?

On that note, do you think the the Launch improvements will enable the Devs to legitimately complete a spike platforming dungeon on camera? Or dispatch all even tier to their gear enemies in one shot? Because if the gameplay ends up matching the reality of their usual showcases, it would be a lot less frustrating and a lot more fun good cool. Things like having to stop and wind up your hammer swing would be much less of a downer if it really was as "Strong" as claimed to need such a usage hurdle, etc. Section Z fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Jul 9, 2016 |

Three loving years. Not even counting the hype of the years prior to EA release. As a person who bought it when it was EA first day because I didn't donate earlier, I know that after all this? it wasn't worth it, It wasn't worth it at all. I hope you guys have better luck in another game. I spent about 100 hours in starbound from then till' today. I'm the rear end in a top hat that says I spent most of that afk, and I played podcasts to keep me awake playing this. Fargin Icehole fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Jul 9, 2016 |

The most fun I ever had in this game was like 3 years ago when I built a nerdpole to the asteroids and had to make a campfire every 10 blocks to avoid freezing to death in outer space.

I was tasked with dealing with all the tier things, so I had to email this list of people being like "yo what do you want done" and make an excel sheet of their obscene demands and feature requests. IIRC that one dude bought both the weapon tier and statue tier and I had to ask whether having 3 people in one statue was okay and when I told him it wasn't he started flipping out and demanding a refund and apparently it was paid through his mother in law's paypal or something further complicating it Rhopunzel fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Jul 9, 2016 |

I've played with the 1.0 nightly for a few hours and it's... inoffensive? A lot of stuff is more coherent, it performs better, and there are some good interface improvements. It still feels like I'm doing stuff for no real reason though.

I saw 1.0 is finally "happening". Does the game still have the stupid gated content through quests and lame boss fights?

So far, yes, a little. You need to beat the first boss in the mining base to get your interstellar drive to work but you don't get any critical crafting drops as far as I can tell. I'll have a better answer soon.
