    The only person working on Starbound, that worked for Terraria is Tiy, the artist for Terraria.

  3. Yes in a sense.
    Tiy, the creator of Starbound was formerly an artist in the Terraria team, that's why it looks somewhat similar :V

    Technically, no. It's a completely different studio. However, the lead developer, Tiy, did in fact work on Terraria, but left Re-Logic afterwards to work with Chucklefish.

    Starbound is something of a spiritual successor to Terraria. It has similar ideas and design philosophy, but cranks them up to 11 and puts its own unique spin on things.

    Yep, other then that Chucklefish is a completely different team from Relogic.

    Edit: ninja'd by Jonesy and his mad mod skillz

    Tiyuri (the head honcho) worked on Terraria before Starbound, and states that this is his dream game project.
    However, I'm not sure if anyone else on the team worked on Terraria. Suffice to say the majority did not, and this is a seperate project.

    So the answer to your question is "No", "Maybe", "Ask Again Later".... hmmm I think my magic 8-ball is broken.
     
  7. The lead developer was the lead artist for terarria.

    Both are great games!

    It does take a lot of inspiration from Terraria but in a sense it will take Terraria's game mechanics and make something completely different.
    So in response to your question: Yes.... No?

    Please don't compare Starbound and Terraria

    Terraria is way out of it's league compared to Starbound ;)

    Jonesy summed it up to a tee. :)
    ALSO
    Comparing and making each of them fight to the death are two different things sir. :viking:
    In comparison you can see related gameplay/art aspects in it.
    They are very different though, this one has an actual storyline! *gasp*, Has lore, different races, techy stuff, and gameplay is different in some ways too.

    the only thing they have in common is them being a mine/build game and 16-bit styled graphics

    If you want to get to the nitty and gritty of it then alright. :cool:
    They both have weapons, grappling hooks, vanity, currency, villagers, special weapons, tiered armor/weapons, close to the same sprite art style, cooking, crafting, instruments, generated landscape/structures, biomes. I can go all day sir. <3

    I'm not going to start a war and I never said I played Starbound I'm just saying Starbound is more advanced per say in graphical design and this is all an opinion not fact so in terms I'm wrong and I'm right

    There are also a lot more features and mechanics such as quests and NPC can interact and talk amongst themselves but all a opinion

    lul theres a rofl smiley in your quote :p
    I was just making a point, you can't say there almost no comparison when there actually is some room to make relationships between the games.:geek:
    Also he was being sarcastic because you were acting like it's going to 1'up Terraria when none of us have played it yet. We only know what the Devs tell/show us, we haven't played it all, so we can't say anything critical/good about it just yet. We can only anticipate.
    Personally I think you got everyone tiffed by the way you worded it.
