So in a thread you asked me about games I recommend. Didn't wanna to goo far off topic, so... ever tried Terraria? It's a lot like Starbound, but with more focus on combat and getting to know the planet you start on more, because you don't change planets. Starts out a little slow, but once you get into it, it picks up a lot faster.
Thanks for the suggestion, Xylia. I have indeed played Terraria, I would agree it is a wonderful game. While I appreciate Starbound, Terraria is just lovely. I have a feeling that with v1 of SB though, it'll be a strong contender for Terraria.
