    Well even if he focuses more on the mod it's not going to be an end of the month thing.

    I'd just be satisfied with an update from him that he is still working on it

    You know, looking over what he would've seen by now if he checked ever so often, the Felin creator just made its own intro mission.


    ...


    Okay, didn't we talk about the race starting in Avalon or something?

    The species evolved on Avalon, yeah, but would the intro mission have you part of the Illuminate? Because then you'd probably have a job or something, y'know. You'd need a pretty damn good reason to stroll off and save the galaxy other than "Meh, I felt like it." Of course if you're on some random ass planet maybe the Ruin blows it up or something. Can't have the Ruin on Avalon though, that's just shoddy writing.

    maybe if the Ruin wasn't literally only at the start and end of the storyline and stayed as a threat throughout
    then we'd have an excuse to just throw murder tentacle where ever

    It Be cool if the ruin was a constant threat

    I'd say the ruin could be like a mid story-chapter end boss before a bigger threat like modded race specific end boss could work

    Nitpicky writer here: I feel as though the Ruin may be less than ideal thematically as the primary antagonist of the avali storyline. The Illuminate is an isolationist entity and I don't see any indication that that's going to change, but the whole point of the Ruin as a storywriting tool is that it's a threat to everybody that brings everybody together. You could have a story about losing the avali-first mentality, but I think that would hew too closely to the vanilla campaign (and besides, I already told that story :p). It would work great as an element to tie in the story to the rest of the galaxy, but I think there would be better central plots.

    I think we're more likely to see a story about the internal workings of the Illuminate--finding out what the corruption is within the illuminate, and possibly the perils of transhumanism (which I vaguely recall reading was a theme of interest to Ryujjin in writing the avali).

    I'm really completely with YellowDemon on this one; this is the direction I'd like to see the avali take, as I think it's what Ryuu originally intended. Can't read the guy's mind, though.

    stop reading my mind Yellow

    It's definitely the more dynamic and interesting route.
    It would provide insight to anything beyond entry-level knowledge of the Illuminate and throw many interesting twists with the magic of politics. Plenty to think about with that.

    It'd be better than what Chucklefish did with Starbound 1.0, that's for darn sure.

    That's a burn so hot that even a Cooling EPP couldn't protect against it.

    Still, a sign from the Mod Creator would be nice.

    I have a bad idea that someone goes in to fetch him from his game smoothly, then goes to ask when he's coming back here...

    Yeah bad idea indeed, dragging him from his thing wouldnt exactly help with motivation in any way. But an update would still be nice, and theres nothing wrong with some wishful thinking. :)

    All I know since the last update from him is that the ship looks a little more clean and theres a new thing, can only assume its a crafting station of some sort, with robotic arm(s).

    Guys, speaking of Ryuu's updates, have you seen his Youtube? Apparently, week/s ago, he posted something. Huh...

    I'm most of all just excited over the new blocks, those very dark metal blocks look awesome. The new art in general looks awesome, very coherent and sharp, love Ryuu's style.

    What are everyone else excited over the most? The lore potential perhaps?

    Seeing/meeting the oracle, convincing higher up to be more flexible for the illuminate (Maybe being forced to take them out and maybe not for the betterment of avali as a whole) many other threats. Maybe the main threat against the avali is the race that lifted them to the point they're at and we learn it wasn't humans or anything starbound already has to offer.

    Not trying to overhype, but there's a lot of possibilities.

    I'd love to have the Avali not be racist anymore. I have a peaceful colony on a planet somewhere, and if I ever get this mod, I'm afraid I'd be hard-pressed to get some Avali citizens, because racism is outlawed on this planet.
