Yay, a new update! Thanks for giving us updates on Starbound at all!! I don't know of any other game company that gives (close to) daily reports on work that has been done to customers!
Feels great to get an update again! I may actually miss checking for them after release. Still, great seeing them! Can't wait for more!
just saying they could have givin us more then this i understand they are working on the game but it isnt really that hard to take 30-40 mins writing up a update for people honestly.
I murdered the mayor's daughter for her gear, and that night he sent a team of NPC's after me. Obviously they failed, and in retaliation I destroyed the village and leveled the planet to its core. To make an example. ...Yeah, I could get behind that.
Molly tends to do posts that only focus on one (maybe 2) part(s) of development for that day that she believes the community will find interesting from what I have seen.
Cool, I was looking forward to hearing more about Starbound's scripting/data storage implementation details. I imagine there are a lot of paths and dependencies between scripts. How do you guys go about debugging/managing all these dependencies (e.g., what if you forget to define a parameter in a certain entity's config)? Did you guys write some sort of editor for it or are you just doing it through plain text? I can only imagine the abomination of code, especially how yucky strings/parsing/deserialization can be in C++, I would have written had I done something like this.
Why cant you just be happy that we got an update? I expect you to write write 2000-Word article on why you cant. I mean, it isnt that hard to write an article honestly
I hope this doesn't mean every single NPC goes "OOP its 9pm... BED TIME!!" then all sleep at the same time. It would be nice to have some NPC's sleep while others stay up and about. I just think of my household, im very nocturnal and will stay away til 3am and sleep in til late. And can you still wake up the NPC's if you wanna interact with them? cant imagine they will all still be sleeping when the creeper rocks up.
What exactly is wrong with this update? Its great! It says what they're working on and even has code snippets, a screenshot and a neat asset! You should appreciate that they're even doing the daily updates again yo Don't be one of the tiresome people Tiy talks about.
I've been thinking this for a while and now would be appropriate to say it. How soon after the game first gets into people's hands do we reckon the first mod will come out. I'm guessing about a second. I mean it'll be a tiny little mod but it'll be out there. Thanks Chucklefish for not only producing a great game but also for doing it in a way which makes it infinitely moddable.
I had to wait for 3 years for a big modification of an old game. The staff was really good, with a lot of motivation... Also, the number of people on the forum about that was... limited, most of them was from a old server of this game (including the staff). Even with that, people were starting to complain, to say: "the server will never start" or "they have stopped but they don't tell us" etc... Some was insulting the staff... (more or less subtly...) This project has a lot more peoples interest about it, so... more people who complain... Yeah, I am sure this is bad for the motivation of the team... But you have to never forget than it is a sign the people are interest on this project, and you don't have to make that personal... It is the human nature to piss off the other. So... well... I wish I don't irritated your eyes too much with my english and good luck for the rest of your work... and continue the updates, it stop people to doing a riot.
I love how most people are like "Oh look, nice furniture," completely disregarding the coding Dat is some beautiful codes y'all.
