1.0 hype

Its not a bad thing; it just means much more when you come back to the game later after so many updates have been added.

 

I almost wish they'd just go ahead and release it, but at the same time I'm curious about what else they can push into it before release. Plus the bugfixes from waiting to release would be nice.

 

I just wish they would give estimates of how close 1.0 is, though I know that's a selfish thing to want. Especially given the recent No Man's Sky situation it's hard to blame any dev for not wanting to give release dates. I'm probably in a minority for preferring that games set release dates and then delay them over never having a release date until it's almost done.

 

I'm personally fine with postponed release dates, as that means there's quality control. I even have a perfect example: Spintires. An update was about to come, but there were some serious issues with it. The dev thought about postponing it, but the community bombarded him, so he released it. What did we get? We got an update so broken that the game was practically unplayable. Community blamed the devs for releasing a broken update, and their response was gold. It was an accumulation of all the requests to release it, but the names were replaced with "anonymous".

 

I am very hyped for the starwars light saber like tools the new villages the fluffalo better tect underwater city rebel towns and such but I still wanna know more about the novakid. I mean I still can't get over my novakid character when inspecting the acient writing responding with (these squiggles look familiar) it's so mysterious and makes me wonder how much more important the novakid are to the over all story and world.

 

They'll likely be done soon.

However, knowing that they know they might be done soon, they might not give a date to avoid another problem in case some important bug is found.

However, knowing that we know that they know they might be done soon, they might not give a date because it would just be unnessesary, we know they might be done soon.

However, knowing that they know that we know that th-*conk*.

They will likely be done soon.

 

Yes, soon, but I think more interesting questions are:

- how long before will we know the release day?
- will they release 1.0 in unstable?

 

The first question will be highly dependant on the second. But if they do release it to unstable I fully expect there to be little (if any) warning.

 

Can you wager a guess as to how long before release they'll make an announcement? That is to say, should we expect a post saying "we'll be finished a month from now," or a post saying "1.0 launches tomorrow"?

 

I always like less lag. I actually refer to Glitch Sewers as "The Lag Sewer" currently. My 24GB RAM computer actually lags to literal crap. Also, all Avian things seem to lag.

 

The outpost kills my laptop...

 

I have seen a post, several times (same post, it was relatively easy to find), on this forum, stickied and from someone official-sounding dated on April 11 that 1.0 would be out in 2 to 3 months. If that's the case then soon means within the next 32 days.

That said I can't find the post any longer! Maybe soon doesn't mean soon, and like one of our American Presidential hopefuls, the incriminating evidence is disappearing? I hope not. Can't wait for release.

Edit: My mistake! It was on the Steam Forum...

Patch 1.0 Details
Since there seems to be a lot of thread traffic about 1.0, here are some of the details:

http://playstarbound.com/final-approach-to-1-0/

The next Stable patch will be 1.0 and Starbound will leave Early Access.

The developers hope to have 1.0 done in 2-3 months (pending development) (not an official release date).

Keep an eye on:http://playstarbound.com/blog/for details regarding release."

 

Yeah. Coupled with the fact that they are "actually ahead of schedule" I honesly dont think it will be too much longer.(End of the monthish)

But I stand by what I wrote earlier. I fully expect them to just drop it straight to unstable and let us know when they do. I can't see thrm giving much warning at all for that.

If however they for whatever reason dont do the unstable release I think we will get a bit more notice. But probably still not much.

Im super hyped for it. But a bit less so now because I just broke down and decided to try out the frackin universe mod.... and holy hell. I doubt ill get to all that new content before they release the game. Seriously cool. And I wish I had done that sooner. (For anyone on the fence who still hasnt tried it. I give it 18 thumbs up.)

 

That estimate comes from the Reddit thread on the 1.0 announcement, where Tiyuri said they "would like to have it done in 2 or 3 months." It was not official in any way, but people clung to it because it's the only real guess we have.

 

Would this be a bad time to point out Izzabelle isn't a developer?

 

Tiy said in his AMA a bit ago that they are aiming for by the end of July. Of course, he also stated this is in no way concrete and just what they are aiming for.

 

Gosh those things. That was such a sweet surprise!

I really love how the addition of just these things suddenly turn farming into a thing that is now more than "just" vegetables/grain farmstuff but also now include livestock. Ontop of, you know, a colony system that is already pretty awesome(I just love how it now gives me perfect excuses to build as huge as I want and as spread out than I want across the star).

And the Terramart Shipment Station! Gosh I'll never tire of that animation. Such a "simple" function... yet so entertaining in form(and still ridiculously useful gameplay wise).
