Seems like Tiy has finally get his head out of his ass for a moment and actually try to make the game decent for once.

>Hey all!

>So Starbound’s next update is the big 1.0 and it’s getting close, so I wanted to update everyone on where things are and what to expect. Leaving Early Access doesn’t mean the end of updates for Starbound by any means, instead it will mark a shift away from engine work and towards additional content creation.

>In the past we’ve referred to this update as ‘the story update’ and indeed the player will finally be able to experience the complete Starbound story arc.

>Along the way you’ll meet new friends, undertake a series of missions and search for clues across countless planets. The story arc isn’t intended to replace the sandbox gameplay, but instead provide it with context whilst leaving the game open and boundless.

>So, let’s go over some of the big new and returning features in 1.0

>Story Content

>You are a Protector in training. The protectors belong to the Terrene Protectorate. An organisation formed on earth by humanity to protect and guide the universe towards peace. The story begins on earth, on your graduation day and quickly has you hurtling out into the stars.

>The story consists of 8 instanced missions that take the player from overrun mining facilities to ancient temples and sunken libraries. To unlock missions you’ll be given quests which utilize many different aspects of the Starbound sandbox to send you searching for clues. Clues can be found in many different ways, from visiting towns and talking to the locals, exploring dangerous dungeons, to building colonies and completing quests. Our goal is to reward however you like to play.

>All of these missions (excluding the intro) end in a unique boss fight and meeting new friends that aid in the expansion of the outpost, which is now upgraded as you progress.

>As of this update the mission/story progression, armor progression, ship progression and colony progression are all entirely separate. Whilst missions do increase in difficulty as they progress, it’s up to you how you want to tackle them in terms of gear, weapons and items. We’ve removed any artificial gates, though you will need to ensure you have the equipment needed to overcome any environmental hazards.

>The lore and NPC dialogue has also been tweaked around this story and forms a cohesive narrative which ties the Starbound universe together.

>Planet Generation

>Up until now, each planet in Starbound had one major biome, with some sub biomes scattered within it. With the goal of freeing up the progression and removing artificial gates in mind, planets now contain multiple major biomes, in interesting combinations. Planet generation feels new and fresh with many more possibilities for variation and interesting content. It’s now possible to find a volcano in a jungle or a ruined town in a desert.

>New Dungeons

>We’re also bringing these planets to life with great new dungeons, villages and beautiful microdungeons. Planets are populated with more content than ever and we’re making sure those dungeons contain rewards that are meaningful both to the story and to sandbox gameplay.

>These new villages extend to every race, including the Hylotls who now have a complete set of dungeons and villages in game.

>New Side Quests

>Alongside the story progression and clue quests there are a number of new side quests, including a battle arena, a museum that needs to be populated with artifacts, and test chambers to unlock tech upgrades. We’ve also expanded the quest system with a quest tracker, compass and multi-part quests which update as you undertake them.

>Generated Quests

>In order for a world to feel alive and cohesive it requires context. We’re establishing that with our new generated quest system. As you explore the stars, you’ll meet NPCs who need help in various ways. These NPCs will ask you to check out specific locations on their planets to complete their requests. Quests are generated in such a way that the NPCs are aware of the planet they’re on, the creatures that inhabit it and where other locations are in the world.

>Completing these quests will grant you all sorts of different benefits and some can leave you with new friends.

>Crew Members

>In order to reward players for creating colonies we’ve allowed particularly happy colonists to become crew members. If you accept their service they’ll beam to your ship, wear a uniform and fall under your command. Crew members are capable of fulfilling a number of different roles; Soldiers will fight alongside you, medics will heal you mid battle, mechanics will make your ship more fuel efficient and stylists can outfit your crew in custom uniforms.

>Crew members can be picked up and dropped on your ship at any time, crew members that follow you will interact with the world around them, examining and commenting on objects they pass and sometimes interacting with them.

>Mercenaries

>If building colonies isn’t your style you can always head to The Beakeasy and hire a penguin mercenary. These mercenaries will carry out the same roles as crew members but their assistance comes at a premium.

>Ship Upgrades

>Ships are now upgraded by reaching a certain quota of crew members. Alternatively, if crew members aren’t your style, licenses to upgrade your ship can be bought on the black market at the Penguin Bay. Post 1.0 we’ll continue to look into the feasibility of entirely custom built ships.

>New Crafting Progression

>The crafting progression in Starbound has been completely revamped. There are many more crafting tables, each with tabs that specify categories of craftable items. Crafting recipes have become more meaningful and interesting with more thought behind what each of these recipes requires of the player. It’s easier than ever to find what you want, when you need it. Your pool of recipes advances more logically and the improved UI makes crafting less of a chore.

>Fossils

>You’re now able to craft a fossil station and new fossil tools allow you to unearth a wide range of bones underground. To excavate fossils successfully you’ll need to complete a tricky minigame. Once completed you’re able to display collected fossil pieces in craftable display stands.

>Hunger is Back

>Hunger has been reworked and has returned in an optional survival mode. The UI has been revamped and food now rots over time (with refrigerators keeping food fresh). Eating food now also has a healing effect outside of survival mode.

>New Weapons

>There are a plethora of new, extremely unique weapons scattered all over the universe. These weapons make for good rewards, provide varied gameplay and many of them are built on backer requests.

>Revamped Pet System

>The pet system has been massively improved, captured pets now appear in your inventory, the range of creatures you’re able to catch is much wider, the capture animations have been improved along with the pet behaviours. Pets can also be equipped with collars which provide them with special abilities and you’re able to craft healing and tether stations to heal and tether your pets to a location.

>Augment System

>Similar to pet collars, armor augments can now be applied to certain back armors to give the player special properties. These range from increased damage and speed to fun special effects.

>Combat Updates

>Combat continues to be updated and tweaked. We’ve continued to adjust the way damage works. When hurt the player now has increased invincibility frames. When a monster is hit by a player it’s unable to damage the player for a short period. Meaning you no longer have to worry about being hit by monsters caught in your special attacks. There are many small changes we’ve made here while we continue to work on balance.

>Polish

>There are far, far too many things to mention here but the overall effect is one of a far more polished, finished experience. It touches every aspect of the game; code, sound, graphics, design are all included. We will be pushing a release candidate of Starbound to unstable some time before 1.0 whilst we continue to polish for the final release.

>Performance and Optimization

>Performance in Starbound falls into two categories, client performance (framerate) and server performance (update rate). We’ve entirely rewritten the renderer to massively improve client performance so your framerates should be higher than ever. We’re now working on server performance and expect to at least double the update rate before 1.0.


>A New Style of Multiplayer

>Multiplayer in Starbound has always been a bit technical to get off of the ground, requiring the player to set up a server, forward ports, share IPs and so on. We’re hoping to use Steam to massively streamline this process though there are still some technical hurdles we’re working through. Our goal is to create two kinds of multiplayer experiences.

>Drop in/Drop out of a friends ‘singleplayer’ game, through steam invites. This would be limited to 4 players max by default (edited via config). This method would require no server hosting, no IP sharing or port forwarding. Simply invite your friend to the game you’re currently playing offline.

>Dedicated Servers. This would continue to use the server/client model and be entirely configurable by server admins. The goal being to provide as flexible a solution as possible.
We’re also looking at what security improvements we can make, though this is going to be a tough one with the degree to which Starbound is moddable.


>Steam Workshop

>Alongside Steam matchmaking we’re intending to make use of the steam workshop to support mod sharing and subscribing.

>This is just a few of the features you’ll be seeing in 1.0 and as always we’ll be posting about development here.

Hype is dead, and failed to deliver sufficient, meaningful content to keep the game alive much longer.

Even if it is "getting out of beta" the amount of future sales past this point will be dismal, due to the community advising against buying this.

I would expect to find it 75% off in the next sale.

Main question is, are they fixing the linearity of the game? I hated the update where certain biomes were only in certain levels. If you ever wanted to explore a jungle planet again, nothing will put up a fight or challenge. Or if you wanted the challenge or just needed resources to better fit your needs, you're stuck in featureless boring lava biomes. Any sense of exploration was gone. I saw they were mixing up biomes but I can't find anything about whether that means we'll see end-game forests or deserts.

or we're capable of learning

where starbound is how many years in development and people are supposed to be excited about an update that makes the game not shit, while in the meantime another developer has made 1 far better game and has 2 more in development.

it isn't about being jaded, it's about a company giving us expectations based on past performance.

Sure. The developers are inept despite the large amount of funding that they have received to finish a project. They failed to meet their own standards and they have failed to meet the deadlines and expectations that they have set out for themselves. Bugs that have existed from the beginning have yet to be fixed. The development team allowed this to continue for so long that the community not only suffered, but the game is mostly considered vaporware.

I like the hookers story personally. It makes their failure easier to accept.

That is because the company is made up of artists and idea guys. They have only 1 programmer and have outright said that programmers are not important in game development (similar statement made by I think atari way back in the day).

You're right, but half of Terraria's now existing and worthwhile content was added in the same timeframe as Starbound

1.1 and 1.2 were within 2 years of Terraria's release, and I'd argue that it had already as much content as Starbound at that state

I don't really care, Terraria is clearly the much better game regardless.

In fact, adding multiple biomes to every planets only makes it worse

I really don't care if this game becomes the best thing ever made. I bought this game prior to release on their website when the roadmap indicated everything was 90% done or higher. And then the game came out and it was an incomplete mess and totally fucked up.

But they refused refunds and never apologized and just played damage control like a bunch of cowardly fucks.

Already said that unless you're literally trying not to progress mining in Terraria is fine and fast after the first half hour or so, and "20 hours" in you blast through the earth in seconds.

In Terraria you explore caves which lead to ruins which lead to dunegons or giant underground jungles or creepy spider caves or hell. Starbound is just a different setting with less content and shitty devs.

COD is pretty good if you like shooting shit

You're being dishonest. I played Terraria for 20 hours. Mining took forever and never felt rewarding.

Digging and spelunking is the exploration.
You get all your trinkets from cave chests.
What's your beef with digging?
>>
>>333102053
Are you sure you played for 20 hours? Because even pre-drills the picks you get move through everything pretty fucking fast, and since you only really mine until you find caves you're not doing that much of it...and by 20 hours in mining is irrelevant anyway because you're supposed to be fighting the megabosses which are primarily above ground.

Terraria isn't just mining anon, that's pretty much early-midgame shit.

TFW /v/s only problem with starbound is that it is taking a long time to finish and some how this is justification enough to pan the whole thing even when it is finished and deem it a scam even when you get the thing you payed for.

>When will the cynical cunt meme die?
If you like terraria you have no good reason to hate starbound, it's an improvement on terraria in every way.

maybe late game isn't digging, but in the 20 hours I played it was just digging.

Did they ever put in space combat? I was a fucking idiot and bought this shit, would be cool if I got to play with some 40k mods and space fights.

I find it hard to believe that you spent 20 hours without upgrading your gear and progressing through the game.
>>
>>333102237
No, the problem people have is that not only has it taken so long, but that it's janky as fuck and had so little content for so long but people praised it to try take attention away from the "shittier" game Terraria which has had countless free updates with heaps of content since release.

When Starbound FINALLY fucking releases maybe it'll be a good game, but I'm not gonna fucking pay for it. If someone bought that game years ago they've been waiting this long for the game to be fucking done for no reason other than the devs are fucking hacks.

>I played COD for 20 hours and all I did was run in circles on level 1 therefore the game is shit
Anon, even the biggest hack on the planet should be beastmode in Terraria with 20 hours.

you gotta be fair, they're adding shit that would theoretically make it less bland.

Dunno, sounds to me like it's finally moving into beta.
