    Hello there,

    2 Days ago I ordered the Starbound Gold edition and I entered a name for the random NPC's in the game.

    However the name I submitted is in Cyrillic script and I was wondering if this would be accepted or not.
    I clicked the Submit Details button, but I can still change the information on the page, which seems weird, how do I know that my NPC name will be accepted by the developers?

    Tiy said currently they only support just the English alphabet

    Think you mean the Latin alphabet- English doesn't have a dedicated alphabet. :)

    I KNEW IT. I was a little unsure to go with the term latin alphabet. Cheers

    You can still change your name any time you want, it's not permanent until they close down on NPC/Credits submissions. However, I believe only English is supported like the previous people have stated.

    Finally, if your NPC name is deemed inappropriate we'll be in contact with you for a mulligan.

    No official determination or rubric has been compiled to designate which names are or are not appropriate. Just put in the name you like.

    Can you have the name you choose to be in-game to only be generated for a certain race?

    We're definitely going to have race specific naming, because an Apex named Bob is kinda weird. Just put any special instructions in parenthesis, I can't promise that they'll be followed, but that's the best way to tell us.

    Will there be different alphabets for the different races? Or will all of them stay in the Latin Alphabet?

    Would assume regardless of what sort of writing, et cetera that a race uses (assuming they're different or even represented in game) the UI would translate to whatever language you have the game set to display (English, French, and so on.)

    Edit: derp, was basically answered in a previous post by FrozenFlame. gg, brain.

    Not in that way -.-, As in an Alien alphabet, like the Galactic Alphabit minecraft uses for Enchanting.

    So, what if there are NPCs that don't really have names, but have aliases. Will that be fine, or will I need to make an actual name that fits with the race?
