Starbound should ask for your birthday when you fist start the game (not make a charater) and on your birthday, happy birthday lizards should give you one small, useless vanity item
I think you've got it right suggesting a vanity item, it wouldn't bias the game for anyone, and just be a fun thing to look forward to when you log in on your birthday. The only thing that would be better, is getting to KEEP a Happy Birthday Lizard. I would squee eternally over that
I ment more what the vanity item would be, but mabey if you keep starbound for two brithdays, or beat the final quest you can keep the happy birthday lizards
Birthday hats would be the obvious choice, but how about a lizard costume piece? Perhaps if you are around for several birthdays you end up with a set
A long cooldown bomb that releases a bunch of Birthday Lizards that keep jumping around aimlessly. They dont do anything, they just jump around, throwing confetti and their scales and birthday hat should glow in the dark
They should definitely join your crew, and give you all three colors of birthday hats. And I don't think you should have to wait for 2 or more B-days to get everything. Also, I would hope that the time thing was synced with your computer date, so if I started a new character, I could sorta cheat the lizards in.
And what would birthday mode be. No but they will give you the rocket if you attack them. from the rpg, witch they don't drop! (Not really suggesting this) Or at the VERY MOST items so silly so bad, that they can't unbalance anything
They should give you both a party hat and a cake furniture that can be worn on your head.(Don't even think about making a portal joke)
I was't making a joke about it. That's really what they should give you. I mean seriously. IT'S A BIRTHDAY CAKE. Also i hate when games make portal references. We get it. The cake is a lie. It's pretty much dead now.
