love the artstyle hope it will not be in EA for years like Starbound

Quote:
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“A little more than a year. This may seem a bit long, but we promise the huge amount of upcoming features will be worth the wait!”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“Here is the list of the features that we still need to implement:
    Themed dungeons | Biomes: post-hell | Biomes: sky | Technology | Vehicles & Mechs
    Grapple hook / ninja rope | Modding compatibility | God Saucer (minigames area)
    Tower of 100 challenges | Themed parallel dimensions | Fluid dynamics
    Biomes: oceans | Fishing | Programmable robots | Wiring | Pipes | Thunder
    Fire (buildings can catch on fire etc.) | Achievements / Game encyclopedia / Compendium
    Temperature | Gas dynamics | Dynamic buildings (build your ship)
    Space exploration & combat | Exoplanets


What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“We currently are in version v0.5.5, which includes the following features:
    Monster/Weapon/Armor/Rune rarity levels
    Custom spell creation
    Player to monster transformation
    Capturing and summoning monsters
    Quests
    Agriculture and farming
    Create your village and give the villagers jobs

Ya I'll wait for release. I fell into the Starbound trap and haven't played it since they took all the original awesome monster ideas and threw them in the trash and replaced them all with the retarded pokemon mashups.

They're getting the game working right in SP first then adding in MP according to the dev.

soon seems like there were some issues on that

The multiplayer pose us a few littles optimisation problems, nothing serious but it takes us a long time to solve them all.

So, synce many people want to buy the game on Steam, and because we refuse to let you play at a multiplayer that is not working properly, we decided to release the game without multiplayer, and we will add multiplayer as soon as possible after!

I find it good, that they don't throw features into the game that are still unstable.
Most other companies wouldn't care for that and release them anyways. And if it's not working, then the typical "it's just Early Access, will be fixed at release" comes.

Oh you mean like in Starbound? When they'd add stupid shit like a gutiar shaped like a banana and it would break the whole game, then they'd spend the next 2 weeks fixing the issues the banana guitar caused?

Disclaimer: Use of banana guitar example may be exaggerated but not too far off from the truth. Fuck off.

Broke down and bought it.



If anyone wants to watch. It's what Starbound probably should have been.

As someone with 400 hours in Terraria but only about 10 in Starbound, which is this game similar to?. For me Terraria progresses nicely through gameplay and everything has a reason for being in the game.

Terraria:
-> We need XXX Gear first.
-> We better work on an arena for hte X boss.
-> We should probably build a farm for X to do X.
-> Alright lets start on a hellovator or obsidian generator etc.

Starbound:
- wtf mining is pointless, wtf building is pointless until endgame, wtf almost everything buildable is cosmetic.
- wtf everything randomly generated.
- wtf the monsters suck.
- wtf am i doing? oh cool a banana guitar > bsod.

No thanks, if Starbound was like that I wouldn't have ever touched it again. A ripoff of two games. Well whatever, it's not like either have most of the features since ages or being introduced lately after it was planned a long time ago.

Too many of these sidescrollers copy them, there's literally 10 clones of it on Steam doing "well" Laughing

Apparently a lot of the stuff seen in the trailer hasn't been implemented yet, Starbound 1.0 is already playable in the unstable branch so that's probably the better choice for the Terraria-like fix right now.

This one does have potential and good ideas of course, but it all depends on the devs to get them realized. Ideas are cheap, and there's a lot of good ideas stuck in EA hell.

this game currently plays more like Terraria than it does Starbound, and the monsters/enemies don't look retarded either which is a huge +

@SpykeZ Well big surprise there, looking at the picture of the hell and overworld looking like a 1 to 1 copy of Terraria. I'd rather play Terraria if you're looking to play Terraria, you know.

I've got over 200 hours in Terraria, I've done everything there is to do in Terraria. Calling the game a rip off is funny considering it's not like Terraria was some unique to the table game. They got the idea from Minecraft.

@Bob I haven't gotten that far yet. The MP is supposedly in the works and people can test to see if it works but I haven't even tried that. I haven't really gamed at all this week. Been so hot at work I come home and just lay in a chair with a fan blowing the AC on me lol.

Who cares about playtime? And Minecraft got it from x. We know that story. Terraria is the first sidescroller (with super different elements and progression) that looked like that (fact), and this one resembles it so close you could think they stole the whole overworld and hell "look" from them.

It's fine you like it, just don't act like it was "that" original. It's one of the more obvious ripoffs compared to "Craft the World" and it's likes.
