    So, looking at my post history tells you that I think I would win a court case against CF for false advertisement?

    Please, point to my posts that show that I believe I would WIN A COURT CASE AGAINST CF FOR FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.

    Thank you.

    Yes, I get it, you hate the game and hate the developers and hate everything about Starbound. Won't stop me from opposing illogical nonsense.

    I'm gonna try that, not today, but probably soon.

    I tried it, but it doesn't seem to my liking. It's like playing in Creative Mode in minecraft, sadly, which makes sense for the devs given that they're testing shit on this build. Glad I backed up my player and universe folder!

    The "broken ship" look is quite exquisite though.

    It can get even better. What about daily builds?
    (disclaimer: no actual update was made in the making of this game :D )

    Only warning. Posts that are about "hey person, screw your hate of this" or "you're a total jerk blablabla" are automatically deleted. Let's keep discussion on track, ie "about the new nightly updates" and keep personal conversation to PM.

    Now, my opinion. I'm totally gonna put Fishy and her universe in my backups folder and jump right into nightly progress! This is gonna be fun! =D

    Ok, hopefully, this will be on topic:

    When this nightly thing stops getting updates like the others, will you then open up another opt-in beta program and, if so, what will it be called?

    nightly builds are made to show the actual ongoing progress, the updates for that won't stop as it's pushed the moment a dev pushs a change. correct me if i'm wrong. but hey, if you really want to, you can maybe get a personal branch for yourself of the game, what it contains may be up to the devs.
     
  11. Let's keep the name calling out of these threads, please. We can get our points and opinions across without having to be mean, ^.^b

    It's designed to take the Starbound game files and push them to the Steam servers at a set time every day, regardless of whether or not the code breaks the game, hence the name "nightly builds" =P
    In other words, it's the very very latest version of the game that the devs are working on.

    It`s totally much more interesting than playing an actual game, somehow. I actually think that the game should be updating such way in early Progenitor Beta stage. This is wonderful that devs gave us a way to observe developing process with almost daily blogs and nightly branch.

    what gets me is that people were right, people will complain about anything, instead of -I dont know- Ignoring the game while updates are being made? i have firsthand experience on how hard coding a game is, even on a simple mechanism like Greenfoot. people make game design seem easy, when in reality is stressful as all heck, its time consuming, and even with 3 weeks of solid work i barely managed to get a ROUGH game of asteroids to play right without being broken with a team of 3 of my friends. but no, people want the WHOLE game cut and dried presented to them when they knowingly signed up for the development of a game by a small company who allowed the buy-in so they could afford to work on the game.
    if you want justification on the addition of 2 more games on their work-load? they may well be running out of budget because of rent on the building, upkeep for facilities, payment to the dev team, payment to the host of this site, and more

    so nuts to the people who complain "Wah, starbound! Gibme update! No, Update not good enough, want more!" they are bloody well trying their hardest

    *Edit* also- i like the look of the broken ship

    I had try and the game crash at the loading screen.
    Too bad... well, I will try next night then :p

    Yup. Just copy the files in the Starbound save folder (typically located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\player) and put them into a new folder on your desktop (or where ever you'd like to keep the backup saves).

    I streamed a little of the nightly update earlier today, as soon as it went live.
    Was kind of cool to see how the dev version of the game functions. I was already told that
    the nightly version isn't even something for testing, just showing the public how the
    progression is going, but I was kinda sad that monsters weren't added yet. Didn't allow me
    to test passed the quest that requires you to cook something. Was kind of hoping that down
    the quest line, you could repair your ship (this was before i read the post that mentioned that
    the only way to repair it is through admin powers)

    Either way, was fun experience and am definitely doing it again once the next build is out.
