Important BETA RELEASE DISCUSSION - DECEMBER 4TH (*ALL* beta discussion goes here. Other threads deleted)

We all need much more than your word. Unless you tell us how you got this picture I will be assuming this is just a doctored early access page.

 

I'll bring the torches.

 

The game is getting two releases afaik. One non DRM, and the Steam version.

So regardless of legal wrangling with Steam, the game has a platform (Humblebundle) for release.

 

Actually wouldn't mind if they let you have a peek sooner. I remember reading a few service people or someone wasn't going to get to on the reddit because they where going to be shipped out. No laptop?

 

It was posted by Tiy in official IRC.

Ninja'd ya

 

Mistakes are mistakes. If Chucklefish was a huge company I would be pissed and if they were small I would also be pissed. They don't get the special treatment just because their indie.

 

Well has that been stated officially yet? Not too long ago they were talking about waiting for the DRM free version until much later into the beta.
Source: http://playstarbound.com/regarding-steam-drm-free/ - in this Thread the majority of people called for options 2 and 3.

Edit: Nevermind you're talking about RELEASE. I can't read words.

 

Tiy posted the picture? Surprising.

 

Oh f************k
Hopefully it's the same week of the 4th if not on the 4th itself.

Cause he did say AROUND the 4th, not on it directly. Soo.. *shrug*

 

Is it only available in the US steam? Can't find it in mine.

 

As I said above it's not public, only devs can see it.

 

Some interesting news from Tiy.

"The beta contains tiers 1 - 3 for the most part, then tier X, which contains the rest of the armors/craftables/weapons, but all smooshed together in one unbalanced tier for messing around in.

The game isn't as complete as I'd like it to be for beta, but we're setting up a system where we can literally update it daily. So it should be a wild ride regardless.

Also, creations you share during beta may have a chance to make it into the final game as places other players can find."

Well, steam provides one of the best and easiest ways to keep everything up to date during the beta. It's not hard to understand the reasoning behind this.

 

I never understood why dome devs choose to do this with Steam. One of its main benefits is that it can keep your games up-to-date on its own. Why do you need a patcher/launcher if you have Steam?

 

It's the nature of the beast; They make special games because they are indie, and they made some mistakes because they are indie. Expecting only the good parts and not accepting the bad is unreasonable, and in the end only ever hurts both parties.

 

Just purchased a gift key for my lovely girlfriend .

The couple that plays together stays together.

 

We have one, but it's quite faulty and randomly powers off. But I'll likely be too busy to play anyway, family business. ;-;

Mainly, I want to see the excitement of people when the beta drops, and the hustle and bustle of finding and sharing new information, and videos of interesting things, and laughing about silly bugs, and that kind of thing. (Though I imagine the first day will be nearly silent from everyone playing it.) Like an explosion of excitement, and almost everyone's having fun and just screwing around.

 

LOL also for those asking if it's official, the release date was edited into the title of the thread you're posting in, which was made by Tiy. Although a mod might be able to edit that it's doubtful that would've been done without permission from Tiy, lest they be smote by Tiy's fury.

 

I cant wait to see how some people will handle others criticizing Chucklefish now. Will probably be like. "Beta out just be happy man stop complaining their only indie devs etc".

 

Can't wait to see if this is legit. If it is, Space Viking.
