I've been keeping an eye on this, it sounds like the worst issues are still janky combat/armor balance and (moddable) annoyances with mining/delving, anything else major? Is there still a good chance they're going to cause a full character/planet/base/universe wipe with future patches? None of my friends who played this last year want to touch it again for that reason right now.

No, those things sound like what a reasonable sci fi game would have. I recommend they continue making you use stone age technology while you beam back and forth to your spaceship.

Ahundredbux posted:My one complaint is the whole game I'm not sure I could empty quote this without thread making GBS threads on a mostly normal game thread now. But it's roughly how I feel after messing with it for a bit again. I wish I could illustrate the contrast between my initial reaction to Starbound when it was teased however many years ago and my opinion of the game now. Some sort of ms paint fall from grace.

Vib Rib posted:So what you're saying is that the unfettered wonders your brain imagined from the vague promise of an infinite universe you can go romping and fighting and building your way through was better than the harsh reality of an unfinished game by a development team that could charitably be described as "bumbling"? I kinda imagined Terraria but in space ... the gap between that and this really isn't much different than what you wrote though

Babe Magnet posted:hello starbound thread, terraria 1.3 is really fun and I hope the Starbound devs look at it and think about integrating some of the quality-of-life stuff. "Auto-Sort All to Chests" is loving incredible. "As developers, we’ve been inspired by all the games we grew up playing. From isometric 80s classics to Castlevania, Zelda, Metroid. Celebrated platformers like Mario and Sonic, RPGs such as Elder Scrolls and Ultima, and iconic handheld games such as Pokemon. Starbound draws on numerous classic influences, while taking a thoroughly modern approach to crafting, narrative and world-building. It’s an amalgamation of the games we loved as kids, and the games we love now, fully focused on providing the player with an engrossing, fun experience." Starbound devs don't know what Terraria is! Perhaps you should provide them with a link to this strange other game.

Asimo posted:It's kind of amazing to consider that Starbound was better while it was abandoned. I just realized that each Starbound patch improves Cubeworld a little bit. At this rate an abandoned early access game will surpass Starbound by virtue of not becoming worse over time!

quote:Yes!! I love farming. It may seem like tedium to care for your crops -- but this is legit almost everything I've wanted from farming. Some different soil types or liquids for "Watering" that affect growth and/or yield would be the next best implementation. quote:Basically I am suprised about people complaining about watering because of this. quote:I just thought about that there was talk about multiple different ways of progressing in the game: quote:Why are you assuming that the glimpse they've given us is the sum total of how the system will work forever and ever? That mentality has never held true throughout this game's development. Pretty much every "simple" system has eventually gotten more advanced options devoted to it. The Lantern Stick isn't the be-all-end-all of personal illumination. The pick isn't the be-all-end-all of digging. Why do you think the watering can will be the be-all-end-all of farming hydration?

IronicDongz posted:I still wish that you could turn any block into pixels, and make any block from pixels. At the start I thought that's what the system was gonna be, I thought that mining and gathering materials would be way more streamlined and convenient. That's what I thought it was also, and it seemed cool, a way to reward mining anything anywhere How long would this thread be if all suggestions were deleted and people were banned from suggesting improvements to starbound?

You know when you're working on a <project> and you have a bunch of random stupid ideas while you're showering/driving/eating dinner/not actually implementing them? Starbound is all of those random stupid ideas, except you're independently wealthy and in charge of a team of people who are beholden to your every awful whim, so you can actually get them put into a game. And then taken out when you get a new one. And then put back in. victrix fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Feb 23, 2016 |

Hitscan 'projectiles' are basically trash in single player fps games, and anything approaching them in a 2d game is pure lol. Slow moving projectiles (including ones that can be shot!), are good. As are slow moving bombs that explode into area damage, or more projectiles. Slow shotgun patterns. And so on and so forth. Or I guess you could do rapid firing quick moving projectiles and touch damage. That sounds fun.

EA/KS are fine, people are bad with money. Once they get burned enough they'll stop touching the fire. Or won't, I don't really care. My investments have produced a bunch of cool games for me, at criminally low prices. I'll accept occasionally funding a Starbound or overpaying for Banner Saga if it means I keep getting stuff like PoE, Grim Dawn, Darkest Dungeon, Shadowrun, etc. I'm not sure Dungeonmans would exist without KS and it has one of my highest (by hours) counts of any roguelike in the last five years or so. And you don't need to invest in anything you don't trust, see if it comes out of the fire and profit off of my stupidity and/or gullibility.

Good Dumplings posted: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? Not that kind, the kind where you're investing in a venture that may or may not bear any fruit at all (or entirely rotten fruit) fe: the principle is the same though, you're a dumbass if you invest in anything without doing some basic due diligence. Doesn't stop you from getting burned 100%, but it cuts out the obvious cons.

Nah, that's basically 'a publisher'. Crowd funding works, crowd management does not. Barring some incredibly byzantine representative republic of kickstarter. It's on people to decide who and how much they should provide patronage to, and we're talking about the price of a lunch or a dinner to possibly get a very cool game for cheap in most cases, so it's not like you're assuming a lot of risk for a comparatively significant payout.
