TBT Starbound

[Nerd House]

Got the game a week or two ago and beat the last boss recently, so I'm also waiting for an update 'cause I can't think of any more things to do. It's definitely a fun game though, I love these sandbox/survival games.

I love Terraria, how is it compared to that? I know it's still in the early stages but it's nice to know how it stacks up!

Don't Starve was a lot of fun! Been meaning to check it out again, it's been a long time since I played and there's a new DLC now and everything. Haven't heard of some of those though, gotta take a look when I have time/money.

I love those instruments lying around, they're so random but so awesome.

I haven't played as much of Terraria, but the core gameplay feels similar. Even though it's in beta I kinda feel like Starbound has more to offer though, in terms of exploration and such. There's a lot of Terraria vs. Starbound topics floating around the internet, if you want more in-depth comparisons, mostly because they're so visually similar.

Right now, Terraria has WAAAY more to offer.

When Starbond finally gets out of beta and has all the features they've planned for it done, I'm sure they'll be about equal. Starbound is the same as Terraria, just in a different setting (space and other planets)

I WANT A PIANO

I want to have a nice home set-up but I'm honestly just gonna have all my crafting stations on the ship

Just got the game and I love it!! For some reason there are these really powerful assassin guys that are out to kill me and idk why which makes it kinda discouraging otherwise it's really fun though!

Yeah in a way it's Dota 2 vs LoL Playing neither atm but I like both.

 

[Nerd House]

Anyone have or know of a server I can play on? I'd play a lot more if I had one xD

 

[angry chill]

Ahh! Starbound is a great game. I'm planning on buying it soon, hehe. I'm going to join the group for now if that's okay.

You know absolutely nothing about it or the team developing it if you made a statement like that.
If you opt in to their nightly builds via the Steam Client, you will see them constantly putting new stuff in for testing. They've been doing this for MONTHS. Plus everything they do is posted on their blog on the official website.

doesnt change how quickly theyre putting out actual content for the end-user. its the issue with early access, u generate a load of hype, the devs get put under pressure and everyone ends up burning out.

Pretty much this. It's been essentially two years and what have they done with the game? Not really much of anything. IIRC this is the largest actual update to the game that isn't random items here and there

The Winter Update is pretty huge. In combination with opting into the nightly builds no one really has anything to complain about. It's a decent game being run by an active and very dedicated dev. People need to keep in mind what "Early Access" is supposed to mean. Yeah they haven't had a true update in a while, but that's because they're dedicated to ensuring that they don't release an update until it's actually stable. If you want to see progress as it happens and don't mind the instability that comes with it, you can turn on nightly builds and get updates nightly, which is incredibly fast for any game to output any kind of updates.

Excellent dev, excellent work. Give them time. You bought an Alpha, not a full game.

Referring to the Starbound devs as "burnt out" couldn't be more wrong. How is outputting updates literally daily burnt out? They're one of the most dedicated Early Access teams out there currently, and they really wanted to wait for a big update for everyone instead of releasing tiny, unfinished little tidbits. Buying into an early access game doesn't entitle you to anything from the dev. You buy in knowing that this an incomplete game and you buy in for the privilege of playing it early. I'm not a fan on the trend of buying a game so you can alpha-test it, but I'm even less of a fan of people complaining about solid devs doing their jobs while everyone acts like they're satan because they don't have a concrete update.

 

[KarlaKGB]

u kno its still possible and entirely legitimate to express disappointment because one of several predicted outcomes of buying into an early access game came true?

 

[Lemon Loaf]

Not sure what you're trying to say? Either way, I just mean it's not entirely fair to the devs when people complain about a lack of updates to a game that updates nightly. If it's an issue with the gameplay itself or something yeah, of course you can be upset.
