My mind is boggled. So much work. Wish I could help. Sounds fun ...except for the massive amount needed. Still I would love to write from the different races view of an objects. I'm sure you will do a great job.
Tiy can you add a picture of yourself as an in-game decoration? I want to put you on my walls. ALL of my walls.
At some point can we train or change our character to react or comment the way we want to? Say as time progresses and our character is exposed to more, we can change and choose how we want our character to comment? Say have an Avian talk or comment like a Novakid towards end-game? Or allow us to have a side-passive skill called "race-knowledge", increasing the more we study and learn about the other races, and in turn allow us to decipher the objects and ruins regardless of race as long as we are knowledgeable enough?
Damn Tiy, you must be the king of reporitoire after all that. How do you figure out how to make 6000 tooltips of witty dialogue?
Sometimes..I don't know if the game have been progressing through the year, or it was never something solid like they said it was :<
This just goes to show the IMMENSE amount of work for each race! All the races look so awesome I cant even decide which to be! keep the updates flowing!
The amount of detail you guys are going into with little things like this is amazing. Would it be spam controlled ? cause i can imagine people trolling with that. Clogging up the screen with walls of text. .. .But this is unreal.
Writing up 6000+ descriptions must be a grueling task. Can't wait to examine everything like and old school point and click adventure game.
That's a bed. That's a nest. That's a docking port. That's a resting pool. That's a rejuvenation pod. That's a bio-rhythm enhancement device. That's one o' them there sleep-getters. 999 items to go.
Hmm. I am skeptical of replacing tooltip blurbs with character comments. Putting words in a character's mouth risks creating a disconnect between the way a player wants to imagine his character, and the way the game actually portrays him. And if you've got a different style of description for every race, the chances of one of them causing such dissonance are going to be even greater. This is not to say it's a bad idea, and it's certainly clever. I just hope you folks are careful while writing these, and are aware of the implications.
So like, hate to be blunt, but is this a play testing beta we are waiting for or a mock "actual game" false sorta beta?
Alright this is awesome each race comments on items and knows more about the items that belongs to his or her own race I think it would be cool that as you progress though the game your character gains more knowledge of items and the dialog changes to reflect that
I said in previous posts, that I think it will be more like a demo than a beta, since it seems to be a beta at this very moment. You don't need story in a beta...
Now when I have my Floran buddy joining me on an expedition and we reach a jungle, I can point to a plant and ask it, "Can I smoke that?"
A beta will be available when the game in question has all of its main features intact, where the purpose is to comb out remaining bugs through the use of multiple people testing out the game at once. Anything less isn't technically a beta. So with that in mind, we're not going to see a beta for Starbound until every feature is finished. If I recall correctly, the only thing that we WON'T see in the beta is story stuff and missions, and Novakids. Though the devs have made a ton of progress, there's still plenty of work left to be done so we're all going to have to remain patient.
