Steam Link https://store.steampowered.com/app/454120/Starbase/ Trailer (GET HYPE): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXLTFwoYM_s Website: http://www.starbasegame.com/ Official Forums: https://forum.starbasegame.com/ Official Discord: https://discord.gg/starbase Official Wiki: https://wiki.starbasegame.com/index.php/Main_Page Goon Guild Discord: https://discord.gg/uHyyaM8 WHAT IS, OP? Starbase is being developed by Frozenbyte, who you might know as the folks that built Trine. Starbase is an MMO with gameplay focused on building and designing spaceships and stations, exploration, resource gathering, crafting, trading, and combat. The game features a fully destructible environment and a multitude of fine-detailed simulations that allow you, the players, the ultimate freedom to conquer space and unleash your creativity. Key features: * Destructible environment with voxel and fracture damage and in-depth simulation * Play and interact online with thousands of players, join factions, and more * Build and design your spaceships, stations, and devices down to the tiniest detail * Explore the infinite universe and gather resources The building of the Starbase universe and the factions of the Empire and Kingdom will begin in Early Access later in 2019. But I still have questions! Perfect, check out this google doc, which has a lot more info: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jW4ic1piFnRB0jJcoXeRNYvpREaCKMSCEmLvCqB-7mw/edit Look at this sweet voxel destruction: What does the combat look like? Take a look at this dev test battle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYp_VXfFoyA PROTIP: There are tons of awesome videos on the official discord! Check them out! Screenybois: When is Strarbase launching? Starbase is currently in alpha. The devs have teased some alpha tests soon, then an imminent EA release, where the game will Are goons playing? Yes! Check the discord link here: https://discord.gg/uHyyaM8 This game appears to reward group play and contributions, similar to ATLAS and other builder/survival/murder titles. Strength in numbers! Expect many MMO HMO celebrities! Kimsemus fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Aug 9, 2019 |

Trine was ok but it was also made ten years ago Bit of a weird selling point when every game they've made since (Trine 2, Trine 3, Nine Parchments, Has-Been Heroes, with Trine 4 in development) sucks dick I don't know anything about this game though so I guess it has a chance. Anyone has a chance

# ? May 30, 2019 23:25 |

yeah, Trine was good, but it's up in years. The big thing that bode well for me is that they had the cash I guess to really push into development of a more ambitious title like this, and weren't a vaporware studio trying to tackle their first project.

I'm down for robo-space shenanigans. I can probably get some other Diamond Frogs interested if this game shapes up to be what it wants to be.

Looks pretty neat. I could see Goon Squad hilariously owning in this game.

I am very excited for this game. Also, 45 pages of questions and answers is pretty cool from the devs.

yeah sorry I didn't feel like bothering with the OP of a thread people were actually interested in

wrt the goon guild -- I don't plan on being GM or anything, just helping to facilitate bringing everyone together. I hope plenty of people will step up to generate content. I know my style isn't for everyone.

yeah, it just seems like jumping the gun to set up a goon guild when the game doesn't even have a release date.

Also devs have teased out mysterious pre-alphas before EA so there is that too Kimsemus fucked around with this message at 02:38 on May 31, 2019 |

Here's the problem I have with voxels: Everquest Landmark.

main question: is there sov? if there isn't sov, is there some way to trade like in EVE? the voxel poo poo will get old like Worlds Adrift after the first month, but if either of those two bits are in you have a loving game

Freakazoid_ posted:Here's the problem I have with voxels: Everquest Landmark. The whole game isn't voxels. From my understanding in the dev Q&A and talking to their lead programmer, it's more of "Everything is a normal 3d mesh, but when it takes damage they voxelize the mesh and remove voxels". It's an interesting hybrid approach. Astroids (and moons/planets, if/when they build those) are fully voxel though.

I mostly just want to chill out and mine some space rocks and build cool stuff

When can I get put in space jail by a pack of ravenous goons for building a space ship in the wrong place as detailed by the unwritten guild rules? This seems like the kind of game that needs to seize the initial hype.

I will probably get this once it comes out. Has there been any sort of release announcement, or are they just trying to build up some hype right now?

Game looks cool. Can't wait until someone builds a goatse ship I can fly through realistically scraping the edges and damaging my spacecraft

My chief concern is still going to be the accessibility of the scripting language that players write on to control the various block functions. It has to be robust, but it also must be accessible to players who are focused on more casual play/have no technical knowledge, and I still don't know how they will balance that.

I saw a video of this game that someone linked over in the Star Citizen Thread and the video showed a ship being docked inside another ship... I'm interested but only if I can buy an Idris and become Lord of the Stimpire.
