Important Stretch Goal Thoughts -- Pets?

This all seems like it would take alot of development time, I think that is why they're going with the pets. (I know that the pets idea is not set in stone and could be changed)
All of these Idea's are really cool though, don't get me wrong, I just think that it would potentially delay the game.

 

Maybe the answer is to have a button "start with pet?" that allows you to turn your pet on or off from the start. That's the only condition I'd have, I don't want to be forced to have a pet from the start but I would love to get one later on!

 

if you're going to make a suggestion, you should be clear and concise. Being so vague is counter-productive.
You are a child, in attitude and in mind.

 

why would I be clear and concise when I want the masters of the game to take my idea and make it theirs??? put their own spin on it, you know leave it open to what type of time travel THEY WANT....your just an argumentative judgmental egotistical waste of life. not to mention you haven't even bought the game, way to contribute douche bag!

 

Well, fossils are mostly cosmetic too, from what the description says yet I don't see complaints about that. Perhaps these stretch-goal pets can be given a purpose other than aesthetics, how about integrate them into a revival mechanic, or allow them to find hidden things (secret doorways for example), something like that?

 

I like it. I like it a lot. I hope pets can be geared up somehow or customized.

 

Rule #1: Don’t be a jerk.

Please and thank you.

 

I don't mind, it could be a nice alternative. But I don't think everyone like pets as much as nova and fossiles as a stretch goal.

Plus, why people keep whining about that "1 million" thing? We actually buy the game because of the core idea. And it's none of our business if they get a lot of money, we should be glad for them, because the game need a lot of work and polishing.

I just want them to keep an eye on Starbound and add some features later.

 

I agree, this thread is looking more like youtube comment section. Just let the thread take a chill pill and then open it again.

 

I like the idea. It'd be cool if they weren't purely cosmetic though. Maybe a very minimal bonus to some stat depending on what pet you have? If not, I still like em. I hope there are more than just domesticated pets, thinks like mini-tigers or other wild animals/aliens would be really cool.

 

And THAT is the reason why people will hate you.

 

There are at least a dozen good ideas in the suggestion board that don't leave giant holes in their explanation.

 

As long as your are not forced to have a starter pet and your are not forced to take it everywhere you go, It's ok to me even though I would love a less redundant feature.

 

I'm okay with it molly. Sounds cool.

 

Posted again because I wonder if anyone thinks this is a good idea.

 

The stretch goals are for the finished product, not the beta, the beta won't be delayed at all.

 

As my friend Thrator mentioned before, I would be glad to see combatant riding creatures, which should be tamed from the wild.
If this is already implemented, then some awesome strange weapons (like gun-scythe or flamethrower-axes, I dunno).

 

I think this is the essence of my feelings about strechgoals also, rather focus on the core game, and if they got time/resources to spare, great add in extra details like this.

The more i think about it, the more i start to dislike the idea of strechgoals in general. If the idea is truely great they should add it in if they have the cash and time at the end to put it in, but before it can be put in the core needs to be finished anyway.
