Original Post Hey everyone! As a result of working on Solarium tier pre-order backer weapons, Starbound now has whips! Necotho has implemented some really pretty new Floran villages, too. Click for full size! 'Til next time!
Can we have a Wicker Platform block for use in these new Floran Villages? Bamboo (its counterpart) has a platform, and there are two Wicker blocks and many wicker objects, but there is no Wicker Platform to build with.
Hmmm, I love the new whip. There are currently three but only one has a secondary attack. Hopefully they become their own weapon class.
Nice. Always good to see new villages. Do you have friendly apex revolutionary camps and cities planned? How about friendly human cities? And if possible, entire city planets?
Can you use the whip as a sort of grappling hook/climbing tool? Maybe for special hook objects you put on walls or hang from ceilings so you can swing across gaps? That'd be amazing
Saaaaay will we get like sticky whips we can hang from? Kinda like the grappling gun but as an alt to the whip? Ooo or as an alt to guns too! How about a whip with Vampire Killer's ability? To whip around all crazy like in a circle?! We get a rat attached to a board with a string right?
So whips have the ability to have glowy bits using lit masking like ships and objects. Can this functionality work on other weapons too?
Whips definitely need to be a new weapons class with randomly generated designs and secondary abilities. There should be a grappling hook one, one that grabs the enemy and pulls them closer, and different elemental projectiles like on the energy whip.
Is there any more backer weapon that was promised? Also, the whip is really lovely. The Indiana Jones is real.
Ah ok.....the tier images aren't up anymore unfortunately and I cannot remember any of them except the one I backed at.
Damn, I thought this meant they were re-implementing the use of Solarium for the end game equipment. I really do hope they bring back Solarium because you get overpowered by the fourth mission (which is laughably easy now).
Man, that new Floran village looks excellent! That's exactly what world generation needs: More variety of settlements! Will the new semi-subterran huts mix and match with the old bamboo- and tree-houses? Oh, and that whip is pretty! I like how it fits into the space cowboy weapon assortment.
never been a fan of wips mostly because i know the story behind them but that floran town is really cool
Those villages look lovely. Good job. Please tell me whips will be able to attach to things and be used for climbing...
