October 16th - Quick Fix

You generally do anything ?? Where patches in Steam? You just say but not what happens, what we paid you the money? for posts on the forum?

 

Hello, and welcome to the forums.

Here's the gist of it. Starbound is being overhauled. It's going to have some sort of story-line when it's done as evident by their posts here and what's already on the nightlies. It will be a sandbox game with a story-line, but still be as open ended as you want. An incredible feat. What they're currently working on now is story progression. Where you can't go to all kinds of planets and get all materials right off the bat. The boss system the game uses right now that locks you from reaching higher tier sectors sort of represents that.

Since the story-line is what's being worked on right now (and in nightlies) you can play up until the end of the first tier, go to the outpost, then get the oxygen field thing that lets you breath on moons and other oxygen-less environments (the next tier and story segment). That's pretty much it. If they started releasing this as a stable update, you wouldn't be able to leave tier 1, as your FTL drive is still out of commission. That would be boring.

So by actually not updating the game, they are saving us from an unplayabe version where 96% of the stuff you can do in Starbound isn't avalible yet. The huge open-worlded Minecraft-like Starbound in the current stable version is actually better right now, and will be until the story is completed and you can actually play past tier 1.

Below is a link to their blog. A post on what they still have to do, and have planned for the game progression before they release 1.0 should be at a post made at the very bottom.

Anyway, hope that answers your questions.

 

I watched that gif a lot, but I never noticed the marix dodge.

 

The updates are going,just into Nightly,since when it was updated frequently in stable,everybody ear-raped the devs about bugs constantly

 

This update was written last week stating Kyren would have something to show "later today" if things went well.
A week later, still no update.

So are we to assume now that everything has went horribly wrong for Kyren? lol...

 

Hi, ty. More than six months could not even let out a big patch, they have not completed the game already took up another.

 

None of the starbound team are working on the second game. It's a separate team so it's completely irrelevant

 

If they're not working on SB, where do I get all these diffs from?
