I'm glad Chucklefish is taking time out of its busy schedule to take the piss out of its fans. Fans who - in good faith - furthered its cause by well over a million dollars. I'm actually contemplating requesting a refund on my pre-order, as I don't take kindly to such an attitude towards an army of fans who have been very loyal for a very long time now.
After this trailer I'm gonna wait for 75-80% discount on steam. I'm totally not buying this for full price.
that update was strange... kyren is doing something... bartwe too, but whatever... oh! and here is a troll video!
I think the thing to remember here is that Starbound is a game, and games are meant to be fun. Our fans have been very loyal to us, and we're grateful, and we've in turn been very loyal to our fans-- let's not forget that the video in question was posted at the end of a daily progress update. How many developers post daily updates on their game's progress? Our audience wanted more frequent updates, and they've gotten them. Excuse us for trying to keep things light and funny in the process. Anyway, we're not "taking the piss out of" our fans. It was just a joke. I hope most people understood that. But if you're that offended by a developer daring to crack a joke once in awhile, I will gladly refund your pre-order.
there is something odd with the video... Not sure why, but it seems a bit different from gameplay footage... maybe the development was taken on a different direction?
I was so excited when I got to the part about the trailer. Thought "Oh yay the trailer we were told about in the May newsletter is finally here! Now I can show all my friends exactly what Starbound is so they will pre-order the game too!" And then I saw what it really was... I haven't been this disappointed since...ever
It's like turning up, dressed in the right uniform, to a house that's ordered pizza, and giving them an empty box. Where's our piiizzaaaaa D:
Being a pizza delivery guy I'm pretty sure that the average paying customer would be very upset if I ever did that =|
(Well, except they are getting a 'pizza' eventually, it's just getting their hopes up early as a joke)
