Minecraft was beta before being remotely close to any demo of the finished product. The beta was awsome anyways. Just saying. BTW I understand the intention of giving a nice first impression...
.. wait.. the gif. ... did anyone else notice blue fireballs dropping -after- the tree fell? What was that?
I'm not I'm not sure whether your link answers my question, but i'm just thinking that if visitors to the con get to playtest it, it would be nice if we could. Of course if there are other factors involved, i'd understand, since by letting preorderers playing it would be a bigger case than just the visitors at i49.
But its nice to have a big one. on topic: What are those blue things falling from the sky? meteors? explosive pine cones?
One of the bosses? Sweet, already work beginning on the next ones. Now that I think about it, there were only, like, 8 bosses in Terraria, hopefully there are a lot in StarBound, but if not, it doesn't matter, as long as they're good bosses!
