overhauling basic game mechanics again and again. the last big update was yet another overhaul of the combat system
this is shit you should have worked out before you write a single line of code. you shouldn't be years into development, throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks
the only hope for starbound is that when the devs finally give up on it, they leave something that people can mod into a halfway decent game. i wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that day, though

The game has gotten better. About 1% better, but still. Maybe in another 50 years it'll be playable.

All they had to do was make Terraria in space. How did they fuck up this simple step?
>>320268313
meanwhile, terraria otherworld is going to drop within 6 months and erase all memory of starbound

By having a team that consists of 95% artists and by focusing too much on procedurally generating EVERYTHING.
>>320268419
>have an exact roadmap of something in front of you
>fail to follow it
this is, by far, the most astounding and relevant thing about starbound. all they had to do is exactly copy terraria and the game still has combat inferior to terraria alpha leak combat.
>>320268492
Otherworld is going to flop pretty fucking hard, mate
It has nothing to do with Starbound, they just outsourced it to a bunch of retards who had nothing to do with Terraria and only have experience developing shovelware.
>>320268712
>terraria 2 effectively is going to flop
lol
>>320268031
what about making a terraria clone in space that gets overshadowed by another terraria clone in space?

>>320268052
they said that there is 1-2 stable uptades before going 1.0, so I presume that it will be fully released around summer 2016.
About current state of game: Pacing is a little meh. Additional minor quest should be randomly generated. It feels little bit too casual at moments. New combat is good. I don't know if its valid in MP because i only tried it at SP.
>>320268865
Otherworld isn't Terraria 2.
>>320269035
yes it is. It doesn't matter if the name is terraria 2 or not. it's terraria 2.
>>320269179
It literally isn't. Terraria 2 is another project.
>>320269179
Terraria 2 will actually be developed by the people who developed Terraria
Otherworld is a cash grab and a huge fucking mistake. The Terraria brand has a ton of goodwill built up from how great the first one was, and how it was supported with new content for so long.
>>320268712
Red's overseering it, so maybe it turns out good. That said, it probably won't sell as well as Terraria.
>>320269356
it doesnt matter
a game comes out and is terraria and is not terraria 1, it's terraria 2
the community will take it as terraria 2. this is why i used the word effectively in my first post you responded to. learn to read.
it doesn't matter waht the devs call it. it is terraria 2 and terraria 2 is terraria 3.
>>320269179
Terraria 2 and Otherworld are two different games, both in development right now.
>>320268052
They literally have no idea what the fuck they are doing, Chucklefuck trying but they just seem incompetent. Literally why add a linear story mode to a game where you have randomly generated planets and dungeons, planets and dungeons that aren't even being USED! The loot tables for just about every container is dull as bricks and there is practically zero incentive to even bother digging into a planet.
and Damage on Touch is fucking retarded for a game that was designed without it in mind. Guards are now walking into their deaths thanks to this change. I don't think Chucklefuck ever think these changes through.
>just now realizing scores are worthless

>>320269534
It's a spin-off you tremendous retard. Get it through your thick goddamn skull.
>>320269534
:^)
>>320269534
Terraria 2 will be Terraria 2.
Otherworld is more of a spin-off.
The community will take Otherworld as Otherworld because the devs have already stated that Otherworld isn't Terraria 2.
>>320268712
> they just outsourced it to a bunch of retards who had nothing to do with Terraria
Red is working on it himself, anon. That's OK, we all fuck up sometimes.
>>320269813
He's not. You're wrong.
>Terraria 3 will happen before Starbound is finished

Are you autistic, by chance?
>>320269919
And I don't think you understand how numbers work.
Remember, any game that proudly shows early access next to it should be ignored and forgotten.

So then I guess by your logic fallout 3 is actually 4, new vegas is 5 and fallout 4 is actually 6? Since clearly fallout tactics was actually just fallout 3
>>320268313
>Unique monsters like the Poptop finally put into the game
>Combat regressed, now you take damage from touching enemies
Yeah, these are fucking stupid.
Unique monsters makes no sense for this kind of game. The only beings that should be present on multiple planets are ones with space travel. In Terraria it made sense, because you were only dealing with one world per game.
And the combat - fucking hell. That was the one good thing the system had going for it, that you wouldn't just take damage by bumping into an animal, but only when they were specifically attacking you.
Maybe it would make sense for some enemies (like an animal covered in spikes), but not for all of them.
>yfw cubeworld gets finished before starbound
>>320269534
It's all about presentation.
Nobody flipped the fuck out when Metroid Pinball came out, because Metroid Prime 3 was going to come out eventually, whereas Federation Force got shat on because nobody has any idea if or when a new proper Metroid is coming out.
Most fans are aware that Terraria Otherworld is just a spinoff, and that Terraria 2 is eventually coming out.
>>320270663
I fuckin wish
>>320270760
Speaking of cubeworld did that alleged update that was going to add a heap of things ever come out or was it just more empty promises?
>>320270873
it'll come out in time for our grandchildren to play it
>>320270873
They dev is has been pretty active on his twitter.
>sold some of my tf2 items for starbound
>overpayed by about $3 or something idk
>game is complete shit after about 10 hours

>honestly wish i still had my pixelbux for a dead game
early access, never again
>>320268665
procedurally generating everything isn't what fucked this game, it's the devs not know what to do with it. And now they're just abandoning that whole thing in favor of pre-designed quest areas and monsters. They just don't even bother fixing up what they make, they give up and say "well that's fucked, better do something that's easier".
They're also adding all these new areas and "biomes" to their planets but you have no reason to ever visit these places. the loot just consists of palete swapped furniture and some player cosmetics. You don't go to a crystalline fire planet biome for fancy crystal that you could maybe use for high-tech somethings? crafting side-grades to magic staffs?? naw, it's just there for visual diversity.
>>320269634
they have no one who can design a game, apparently. when your design process is "change something at random -> is it fun? -(no)-> GOTO 10", you're gonna get a fun game about the same time your warehouse full of monkeys with typewriters produces all the works of shakespeare
>>320268889
Edge of Space looks like ass.
I would rather play Starbound than Edge of Space, simply because of how bad it looks.
Is there a single GOOD terraria clone?
>>320270628
Uniques make sense, but only if they were in missions or some settlement. Every lush planet having Poptops is ridiculous.
>>320269534
>I know I'm being retarded but I'll continue to try and force my retard logic on you
My friend tried to get me to pay £15 for this shit when it was first released, claiming it would be out in a few months and cost double that price. I dont understand how people are so gullable and havnt caught on that early access is a scam.
>>320271262
>naw, it's just there for visual diversity
same problem with the races, honestly.
they're all just palette swaps. your ship, armor, weapons and innate statistics are all identical to each other race (except novakid, since they can craft guns). there should at least be some kind of racial abilities, but no, they wanted to homogenize them so everything is fair and nobody has any advantage over anybody else :)
>>320271262
The biome you posted is getting overhauled on the nightly. Looks a lot better.
Still shit, but comparatively it's a solid log over wet and sloppy shit.
The only thing that bothers me is that the underground is kinda lame compared to terraria. Starbound has some nice Soundtracks though.
>best soundtrack for exploring moons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEjyYF9X_fg
>>320274479
Fun fact; one of the songs in Undertale was originally in Starbound. I can't find it on youtube under any starbound soundtrack, but "Snowy" has been in the game files since before Undertale became a thing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BIeGdBjJiU
In the game files, it's "not-the-tundra.ogg"
>>320274479
This.
In all my time in Starbound I don't think I've once found a cave that went from the surface to even a quarter of the way to the center of a planet.
And just to add insult to injury, digging to the center of the planet was one of the first things the game expected you to do last time I played. Compare that to Terraria where digging to hell was the end game in vanilla.
>>320267751
It's leaving early access next update which will be soon.
