    If a rainbow version of that 2-handed sword charge exist, I'd name it «PRISMATIC DIVIDE»!

    Also, would there be an offensive dash technique that'll require a one-handed sword & tech equipped?

    Are those explosive rounds coming out of the assault rifle weapon? And what is that other gun doing afterwards?

    Does this mean Flashlights have been nerfed?
    This hand of mine glows with an AWESOME POWER. Its burning grip tells me to defeat you. Take this! MY LOVE, MY ANGER, AND ALL OF MY SORROW - SHINING FINGER SWORD! Go! GO! GO!

    Wow. I love those new animations
    And the underground parallax, another eye candy of awesomeness.
    Nice job guys!

    Those phalanxes are AMAZIONATING!
    And that gun is certainly interesting... But I will stick to the guns you just have to point in the right direction, rather than point the cursor at the target. I don't want to move my hand that much :)

    Looks like it's a delayed/charged shot. Probably does more damage than a normal immediate shot. I'd love to see that on sniper rifles.

    Awwwww yis! My dream of being a crazy apex resistance member with a lightsaber may finally come true!

    That sword is so anime, it should have a special ability that transforms you into a Gundam mech and launches you into outer space to fight the Anti-Spiral race with a sword made of Life Fibers.

    Awesome work, seriously!

    By the way, have you folks thought of using some of these more unique abilities in the racial weapons crafting recipes lists? To give one type of ability to one race's weapons, and others to another race's would be a great way of increasingly making each races more unique.
    Since right now every race's craftables weapons seems to be roughly the same except for the novakids crafting guns instead of melee weapons(which is a very nice unique touch though).

    I'm hoping "anime as heck" is a hint to Heck coming back ;_;
    Great stuff nonetheless!

    I'd do that if I can dual-wield a Star Cleaver and Slave Sword — hope not to get tentacle'd back on Earth.

    i figured you guys would do something something with underground background, theres a decent looking reperesentation underground atmosphere hidden behind those extensive amounts of dirt n stone, let down your walls and let your art be free!

    Do the devs expect Starbound to eventually reach Terraria levels of complexity, or is the plan to compensate by making other things as diverse as combat making every mechanic improved from Terraria except combat. Both are entirely fine by me, but I wonder how close we are to the apex of some of Starbound's mechanics. As much as I'd love to ride the train where this game will last forever continually improving I know there's an end, be it a few months or a few years there's an end. On a less melodramatic note so far loving the new parallax and the secondary functions of the weapons are looking swell.

    Yes, all three of those weapons look good! hope you add color variations to that sword's special ability! Perhaps, add variations to the particle effects and maybe the extent of the sword's reach as well. (?)

    Will the asteroid biome get another look too? Even if you are in space you should be able to see the sun and planets at times, even if not a sun rise.

    I love the new parallax so much! <3
    It change a lot of the "only rocks" background, so cool!

    I also hope you planned to make some caves generation with stalactites, stalagmites, like the "mine" dungeon, with the visible parallax too (where some second-plan blocks are missing, and let this beautiful parallax visible, else this will be a pity :p)


    Continue the great work Chuckefish Team! ^^
    But don't forget, you still need to make the mechanics and the progression better while the artists are working on those pretty things, or I hope you're already doing it ~
