Varinn posted:The ~story justification~ doesn't matter, because you can change it to justify ANYTHING, it's about the gameplay. You mention that the sci-fi stuff 'comes later on', but why shouldn't the sci-fi stuff be in the sci-fi game from the get-go? Alright, let's go with this. Where should it start? What should be the first proper mining tool you make?

Ibram Gaunt posted:I'd like a way to see if a planet has a town on it, maybe some fluff text on the menu saying your systems pick up radio waves or something. That exact thing showed up in videos and screenshots pre-beta. Presumably it's something you unlock later on?

Denzine posted:The furry animu aside, you clearly draw porn on commission and that lends a pretty fuckin' weird aesthetic to your work. Same could be said of most artists, really. (the porn on commission, thing. Gotta pay that rent somehow) Anyway, I think it's amazing how robust the modding community for Starbound already is considering the public beta hasn't even been out for a month. You guys work fast.

Kikas posted:For rock people I'd go for something like the WH40k Orkz, that they just keep on spreading. Bacsue you Can't Stop the Rock I'd personally go in the other pun direction and make then music themed. Maybe they're hollow rock people and their inner cavity is great at resonating and amplifying sound, essentially turning their whole body into a musical instrument. Let's call then "Rokkers", because why not. The members of the species carve intricate holes and grooves into themselves as well as other body mods to to allow increased control over the air reverberating through their body, making them better musicians. When also playing an instrument they can do things with sound previously unheard of. Their society is a purely talent-based system where the more talented you are, the more money you make, and the higher your social status. The recent boom in body mod development has kind of completely hosed up the system, though. Proper body modification is expensive, so there is now a rapidly increasing poverty gap as the rich families get better and richer while the lower classes flounder with little chance of surmounting the increasingly high barrier for entry into the "big time" Many poor Rokkers have perished or become permanently mutilated trying to self-mod or being suckered into shady black-market mod shops. The only hope one has now of breaking into the business is by a) being born a prodigy or b) waiting for a professional modder to give out charity mods; and The Glam Five (the current #1 Rokker band in the universe) has taken steps to ensure neither of those things will happen. At least, not legally, for the latter. Rokkers' relationships with other species tend to be... strained. Being nothing more than consciousnesses in animate rock bodies, they lack any capability to see, perceiving the world purely through the ebb and flow of sound waves, in particular identifying living creatures by the sounds they make. Many members of a particular race tend to sound alike to Rokkers leading to the generally held belief that Rokkers are self-absorbed and mildly racist when the latter is not true and the former is true only, like, 75% the time. The only race Rokkers are are truly good terms with are the Avians, having an easier time distinguishing between their more melodious voices and finding them quite pleasing to listen to. Their least favorite race would have to be the Florans. Their scratchy, hissy speech rarely sits well with a Rokker's inner cavities. I imagine the Rokkers having a Glam Rock aesthetic, with wild outfits and flashy lights and poo poo-tons of glitter. Their weapons would be styled off of musical instruments. e: Holy poo poo I wrote a lot of words about something I don't have one iota of the talent needed to make reality.

Davoren posted:Even though Floran is the best race, I found their random names sort of dull, I ended up calling myself Johnny Leafs. So far I've been Paula Green, Emeril Lagrassy, and Giada De Lotus as character wipes necessitate new characters.

Greenllama posted:Do the developers of this game actually make fairly frequent updates? I am kind of afraid of buying steam early access games after Godus... Their current plan is after the next update to move into a schedule where they release multiple content updates a week.

Vib Rib posted:Speaking of creeper mods, aren't creepers supposed to make an enemy cameo at some point? I assume they haven't yet or we would have seen a dozen screenshots about it. I don't think any of the premade enemies are in yet other than the robots you see in certain dungeons and the po. I've found what is most definitely the Virorb biome (it's that underground biome with the giant DNA everywhere) but didn't find any Virorbs.

Chucklefish has actually been slowly removing content from Starbound. At this point when you boot up the game all that appears are the words "Hello Wor".
