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

*slides helmet down and slowly ducks into a fox hole*

 

I think you're seriously misrepresenting the capabilities of a team of 3 people. 100k lines of code in 2 weeks would be 1.0416 lines of code every 9 seconds per person.

6.944 lines of code per minute does not accurately represent the industry standard for a project like Starbound primarily written in a native langauge like C++. Even in a non-native language, you'd still be very hard-pressed to achieve those results.

Remember... counting generated code is... cheating! If you didn't physically code it, you can't claim it...

 

Your math is off...

 

Yes, they do. And we all know that kickstarter backed games have a long history of being on time, with really good communication. Don't we? /sarcasm

Next conspiracy theory.

 

I didn't double check it, but please feel free to check for me? I assumed 3 people, 10 days, and 8 hours per day.

 

So, when do you think Starbound beta will be released?

 

Never.

 

Cool.

 

That exchange was possibly the funniest thing I've seen on this forum since I've signed up.

 

Thought my smartassery would spark some chuckles.

...Chucklefish.

Ha.
Ha.
Ha.

...
I'll get my coat.

 

I hope they release the beta on steam, would be nice to get the auto updates via steam and probably make life easier for everyone

 

Oh yeah.

 

As much as Beta-Beggers bother me (only to a degree, and when they get mean)...

BUT, if beta doesn't come out soon, I'm gonna be a broke sunnova...

I keep buying games in the hope that they'll fill the void in my soul that Starbound has left me.

Its becoming an issue.

Let's just say it's spam and call it a day.

 

I've lost all interest in Starbound for the minute after rediscovering Total War: Shogun again. I'll play that till Beta comes over the horizon!

 

Your picture is incredible.

 

Not spam. Relevant, haha. It's a web comic about candy and the roaring emptiness inside.

 

Okay, got one! You don´t need Kickstarter to screw the people who buying a product that don´t exist! You only need to hype them and set up your own pre-order system! I think we all know allready that they didnt had anything close to beta between 2012 and 2013 until the pre-order kicked in, they practicly started from scratch. At least thats what you can get from Bartwes chat where he mentioned that it would be impossible to get out a beta in 2-3 months because they didn´t had anything even close to a beta when they opened up the pre-order page. The only honest testimony so far. Anything else was pepptalk in the daily news and the forums.
