So how's that combat update, anon? Did it fix your game?
>creatures do damage on contact now
WHY
>>319512775
And the train ride keeps on going..
How many times did they rework the combat mechanics now? Seven?
>>319512775
This. It's fucking trashed.

isn't terraria the same way?

Thoughts?
>>319513085
Yes, but Terraria is the better game.
>Starbound's mechanics feel great
>Literally zero content
WHY
I'm still clinging to hope that it'll be good. I tried playing it a few weeks and I liked it, It's certainly much better than it was on release.
Hahaha starbound. I forgot about this heap of garbage. Everyone in such denial about how bad it was.
>chucklekek getting their shit together and making a good game
This is the same company that turned their office into a daycare center but for adults
>>319513669
Incompetent developers who think pulling the shit they pulled is A-OK as long as they get around to making something. Eventually.
>>319513797
It needs
More reason to stick around in the different planets
Quests that aren't fetch bullshit
>>319514226
I definitely agree with the whole planets thing.
There's not much of a point of building on a planet when you can do it on your ship, which for now has all the space you need. I'd like to see large scale terraforming in the future.
>>319512612
It's much better then the last time i played it in 2013. But it still runs like shit on my computer so fuck it.
I enjoyed Starbound for what it was even when it had only first came out and all you did was run around planets collecting clothes and hunting for unique weapons. Might play it again over Christmas break to see what's changed, I haven't played it since then. Did they ever add pet evolution? I liked collecting pets with different attacks.
>>319513085
Terraria did not get a combat overhaul update with the promise to make combat fun and engaging.
Terraria alsogave updates with content while Starbound hasn't done that yet, only fixing some bad mechanics and taking forever to do so.
Is this liked the fifth combat overhaul
>>319514347
To bad they got rid of reasons to terraform when they ditched survival mechanics.
>>319514347
The only thing they had going as far as planets were the landlord mechanics, but I heard you could do that on your ship anyway if it were large enough. Maybe some kind of automated resource gathering while away or having miners on a planet that will give or sell you materials over time.
>>319512775
I think the combat overhaul made players too OP so they had to counterbalance it somehow
eg, the laziest way possible
>>319514347
If certain building features were made exclusive to planets (e.g. settlements, certain objects), that could make them valuable again.
Oh, but you guys don't want that.
You want the ultimate freedom to build and do anything anywhere because you don't understand that the concept of constrained optimization drives fun in games.
Well since we're talking about shitty games where nothing gets done, did that cubeworld update ever come out that promised a huge expansion?
I won't lie the new weapons actually look kinda cool, might actually consider going back just for a little bit to see what sort of shit I can get

I doubt that anyone actually believes that that was a serious post and not just a false-flagging shitposter.
is there ship to ship combat yet?
that's basically the one feature that could get me playing this game
>>319513797
Give it a few more years, maybe then it'll have a quarter of Terraria's release content
>>319518205
Not him but combat has been overhauled like three times now, colony building implemented, microdungeons, macrodungeons, minidungeons, shield generator mechanics, vehicles, progression has seen a lot of changes, AI has been totally revamped, wiring, dyes, block interactions, more shit I forget.
>>319518498
Wait what terraria is getting more updates? I thought the moon lord one was the final one.
>>319518498
Well the difference is Terraria is a shitty MMO whereas Starbound is an actual open world exploration game. Obviously they're going to be significantly different, though Starbound is already better in pretty much every regard except "muh raid bosses."
>>319513216
You might as well just play Maplestory at this point, at least you get to meet people.
>>319518353

>>319518498
Terraria's updates are probably some of the most content-rich updates I've ever seen in a modern game. It's incredible, each one of them made me replay the game again for another couple dozen hours.
Aren't they working on Terraria 2? Is there any chance they won't screw it up?

I'll probably wait for the release then play it through fully again

I remember it got a few not long ago that overhauled some things, don't remember what though.

>>319518607
>microdungeons, macrodungeons, minidungeons,
Its just fucking dungeons. They just call them different to make it seem like they did a lot of work. Terraria has better randomly generated dungeons than starbound has their premades.
>>319518691
I think you accidentally changed the names around silly. Terraria has more content than starbound and actuall reasons to explore the world. While starbound sure technically has infinite worlds, but there is nothing to find on them that would interest you.
What terraria has over starbound is good progression.
>>319518875
>>319518498

>>319512612
>So how's that combat update, anon? Did it fix your game?
Did it give the team new developers that won't go back on proposed game ideas that were used to sell it in the first place?
No? It's just going to be MORE gated in the future, with lava planets ALWAYS being end tier?
Fuck off, Tiy. Being creative or trying is clearly too much for the team. Just slap it open source and call it a day, sine that's what you wanted anyway.

But there hasn't been a single update to Terraria that was ever bad.

>>319519095
>>319518974
Okay so it was at the start of this year, whatever nigga. Still a long ass time ago
I like Terraria and Starbound.
Come at me.
>>319519253
But wont the terraria 2 or whatever they call it not be so much of a terraria clone, but a more story driven game?
>>319519302
It's Molly, of course she is genuinely retarded and dishonest. They're scammers.
>>319519340
>but a more story driven game?
What would lead you to believe that?
>>319519302
Oh cmon, i refrained from giving him the (you) he was fishing for and you got to give him one.
Is there even a reason to go exploring on planets below the surface in Starbound yet? Last time I played there was nothing underground except the occasional empty cave.
So you would just land on a planet, run around the surface until you found a space station, penal colony, avian temple, or whatever other reused building and then leave.
>>319519340
There isnt any confirmed information about Terraria 2 at all, apart from it being announced.
Its all speculative bullshit.
>>319519253
Yeah, no, that kind of thinking doesn't work with me. Remember when Bioware made good games? Good results in the past don't guarantee good results in the future.
Hell, people said the same thing about Starbound. "It's essentially Terraria, even made by some of the same people, but with a lot more content and in space!". And you know how that turned out.
>>319519340
Thats Terraria Otherworld, not Terraria 2
Anyone else looking forward to the spinoff game?
>>319519415
they added loads of dungeons and shit, dude.
>>319519489
>Yeah, no, that kind of thinking doesn't work with me
Because you are a jaded faggot who cant tell between good and bad developers.

Not only did no one say this, its also completely incorrect. So fuck off
>>319519594
Thats what i said
>>319512612
Have they fixed the retarded fucking forced progression where you need a certain armor level to progress to the boss and a having to go through linear shit to get the modifications allowing you to survive in hot/cold environments?
>>319519415
challenge rooms and microdungeons
>>319519415
subterranean microdungeons and microbioms have been a thing for awhile now.
>>319519506
>>319519594
Ah yea, thats what i meant. Im pretty curious about how that is going to end up as well.
>>319519508
Yep, i really wonder what they are going for.
>>319519489
There is ONE ex-terraria dev on their team and he only made sprites

It kinda looks more like less base building and more combat and fighting
I dont know how I feel about that.
>>319518607
>progression has seen a lot of changes
You mean the gated sandbox has seen a lot of changes?
Did they add more gates?

Yeah I'm super hyped for more sewers of various sizes. Does every one of those have a little chest at the end still, to entice you to play through it? Is the loot still always garbage?

Are they interesting enough to reinstall the game and play it again?
>>319519657

You obviously weren't around before its release, because that was the main selling point for a lot of people.
Also, of course it's incorrect, that was my whole point.
>>319519945If you are like me, and didnt get your monies worth the first time through, now is much better.

Not yet. Also aside from unique blocks or placeables, there isn't a reason to go exploring for them. Like, no *real* incentive.
Oh, they added more valuable ores deeper in the planet!

Sounds like someone from chucklefish is a bit butthurt about the truth.
>>319512867
That's why early access games are shit.
>>319520421
Some stuff has been added
They really need more biome-specific stuff, accessories and reasons to explore different planet parts.
>no proper lewd mod yet
Have modders at least worked out custom states?
>>319518689
It was a the last update redditgit worked on or whatever his name was before moving on to other things.
He's a big thing for some reasoni dont know that the reason
I haven't followed this since after the first time the saves became incompatible and IIRC afterwards getting bugged with missing items due to an update a short time after. Are the saves safe this time?
So are planets more than just one biome yet?
>>319513216
And just how many of the weapons generated or made get abilities?
>>319521031
Planets now have multiple sub-biomes, these usually have unique creatures, but that's about it.
>even the goon hugbox has given up on this game save a few utter unsaveable retards.
let it burn. it deserves it.
>>319521142
So it's slightly improved but still shit. Is the underground at least more unique for each planet instead of just the same shit?
>>319517353
unrelease it on steam and make another kickstarter
i just wanted a better looking terraria
why did they have to bully
When someone mods out most of the gated progression and gets all the planets to be all levels of difficulty, I might play it again.
Other stuff sounds nice, but it's always been kind shitty, for one reason or another. I don't think they're competent enough to fix it. Not the shallowness of it all, anyway.
>>319521371
They already have one for plushies.
if terraria at least looked as good as starbound I would be happier, i like the gameplay but I cant stand the pseudo final fantasy spritesyeah I know they started with actual final fantasy sprites, that still doesn't make it ok
>>319512612
Does the game still tax the shit out of your CPU and disk? Seriously, I gave it a go a few weeks ago and I couldn't get a stable 60 FPS when all I was doing was walking from one side of the map to the other, it seems to do a lot of unnecessary/inefficient loading when you explore around, it's ridiculous.

at least in terraria you have a great lake to explore
>>319523301
What I hate is that, once you're in the higher biomes, you can't go back to the lower ones because it's just weak shit and bad loot. "endgame" is nothing but going across lava worlds looking for neat crap
>>319523058
>hide it from your library too.
wait i thought that was the point
why would i delete a game if its title still polluted my library
>>319523418
they fucked up and didnt even make a "endgame" system or whatever that has every planet type so you can fuck around on the one you want and get decent loot or just build and not have it be on lowbie land.
but such a simple idea that i came up with immediately is apparently too hard for chucklefuck devs.
are there any other terraria clones that're remotely good?
The real problem is that their echo is a fucking echo chamber where 5 people keep repeating "THIS GAME IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER PLAYED THANKS CHUCKLEDEVS OMG". The developers will NEVER realize that their game is terrible and has no content.
LMAO at anyone that gave keklefish money for this turd
>>319523536
They actually had that when the game started. As you progressed and did the boss fight "Quests", it unlocked new "sectors" which were basically just a whole new galaxy with everything scaled up.
They threw that away for no apparent reason. The whole game has been a montage of incompetence.
GUYS GO TO STARBOUND MAIN WEBSITE
Game was dead a long time ago, there's no saving it
I would love to get a refund on the entire 4 pack I bought since none of my friends play it anymore but oh well
Y'know, for all of development shits you anons babble on and rant about, Im just seeing a game being made.
Maybe its just me, but I know this sort of shit ain't easy especially for a bunch of newbies that managed to get enough cash to actually make the game they wanted instead of delivering a subpar 100 planets shit game with bland combat and monsters.
Maybe I just have some empathy for em, and maybe Im just a faggot for not shitposting on Starbound threads and hating Chucklefish but fucks sake, don't try and tell me you anons wouldn't be making the exact same mistakes Chuckle has.

>>319524685
More than 2 years, i think it went into kickstarter like march or something 2013, and at that point they already bragged with an almost complete game. And after nearly 3 years of early access they are still reworking combat. THEY STILL DONT KNOW WHAT KIND OF COMBAT THEY WILL HAVE

The game was hyped to be some kind of successor to Terraria when Red announced he wasn't working on that anymore. Two years have passed since the first Starbound beta release, and nothing meaningful has ever came out of its development since. Some features have actually been removed overtime, and development still remains thin and slow.
During these two years, Red came back to developing Terraria further and has done at least two major updates with some smaller ones on the side, all for free. Tiy and friends are simply slacking.
>>319524803

They didn't have one, but rather pre-orders on their website which they delivered through Humble Bundle's services, though they did have a tiering system like Kickstarter.

Did they overhaul the core progression system yet?
I remember the progression just revolving around being a planetary locust; finding the dungeon, grinding the ores just to get better tools / armour then repeating
Is it fixed?

>is it fixed
pick one
>>319530708
its still a shitty quest you have to grind for.
you meet npcs a lot faster but thats about it.
>>319530708
Not really. The quest system they've got now is apparently temporary, so that means they have to waste time and resources going over the same game systems yet again.
>>319532172
They should waste time and resources building the game engine from scratch again, because it still stalls during combat.
>>319532580
I say they should just give the option to refund for people who played since day one, and call it quits if they're just fucking slacking. It's pretty obvious the project scope is too much for them.
Game still feels like arse
>movement is floaty as fuck
>monsters now damage on contact
>if you wanna move in one direction and shoot at the other, hope you enjoy moving at a snail's pace
>Frames CONSTANLTY drop, open inventory, loose 40 frames, go to the outpost, enjoy the powerpoint

>Still has that shit progression, get ores do boss get ores do boss
Jesus fuck, how hard is it to copy the good stuff from Terraria. It's been what, 10 years since starbound began development?

See, it looks nice and all, but actually playing it is still complete ass, the jumps are floaty and the monsters all have some bullshit charge that you cannot mitigate or stop early game. Healing damage is complete ass as you need to gather and consume items which just wastes time.
Many new weapons are literally shoplifted from Terraria, and while you might argue that with the limitations of the genre that's always going to be the case the fact remains that Terraria has all that cool shit already with a better foundation to boot.
>Settler quests
If you've played FO4 by now you should be aware of how awful these just tend to be.
>Inventory is still complete ass
The ONE thing they absolutely had to get right is still a mess.
>>319533072
Actually, that shit is long gone.
Pickaxes are brittle as shit and break in less than a minute, and the M.M. has gotten a ton of updates, making it actually good.
>>319513216
Fun fact: it breaks more than a few mods, and permanently corrupts older saves

Terraria might be more your speed then, the only items that you'll need to craft more than once are ammo (can also be purchased and easy to make) and potions (A crutch for bosses)
In a year we have:
+ Colonization options (There's actual reason for settling on planets)
+ Better farming
+ Better biome and exploration options
+ Better combat (Combat at beginning was garbage)
+ Random quests
+ Better progression than the start
+ More vanity items and furniture options
+ Crafting being a viable option of getting cash, no more grinding for cash.
+ Super stable netcode with good lag compensation
- Removal of special armours that you can find and turning them into vanity shit
- Return of 'damage on touch'
- Removal of survival mechanics and hunger
- 1 year of the team flailing around because they don't understand what a design document is
Despite all the wait if they would go with the original design document, Starbound would've been a tremendous failure.

>Better progression
No.
>Better combat
No. Absolutely not, combat was garbage and it's still garbage, the problem is with how the game controls and moves at a fundamental level, partly due to the sheer size of the models.
Going underground is still a mess of poor lighting and charging monsters in corridors where you can't avoid them while fighting them with weapons that can't hold them back, early game has never been this awful.
>Better farming
No, it's still a useless chore for no real benefit, putting a stick in shit doesn't make it better, it just makes shit on a stick.
>Random quests
Kill me now, who the fuck even wanted this?
>More vanity items
Because the game needed more useless fluff
>Better biome and exploration options
>Every world is still the same with slight color changes and the occasional terrain feature
Diarrhea is still shit, anon.
>Colonization options
This'd be great if it actually meant something worthwhile, but colonies are nothing but vanity fluff even with the quests, you can't say build a mining colony and have workers constantly pool in resources while you occasionally have to help them fight off space invaders or some bullshit. You can't build any structures that do something, just all vanity fluff.
>No more grinding for cash
While certainly an improvement saying you removed something that was shit isn't going to make a game good, it just got rid of one of many things that made it awful.
>>319534241
hey, depending on if your in hardmode or not, and what your using for what boss its not really a crutch at times.
Bought it during beta, it was shitty.
Then they spent my money on building a kindergarden for office.
No matter what they do with this game I'm not going to touch it again.
>>319526792
There is a few that are not
The choice is pretty much Novakid or anyone else
Yup
No real idea
At least it is at the start
Dungeons, really they are more small rooms most of the time.Which are oddly out of place when you think about it
No more bosses like that. There is now dungeons
It does not
No idea
You get fuel from moons now
