Developer Compliment Thread

That distinction is meaningless as far as this thread is concerned. Fallingorbit made this thread to high-five every "official" contributor to the making of this game, which means fetalstar is included.
Notice how his OP also includes forum-goers who have risen up to the occasion to help chucklefish further.

 

To all staff that are currently working on Starbound, I would like to express my gratitude towards you creative men and women. Not only have you started creating a game that has released the inner artist forms, musician talents, and original ideas that make Starbound the wonder it is today from small supporters to large contributors, you have brought a community together. A community that will play together, talk together, create together, build together, and thrive together. A community that will give each other kindness even through rough patches, a community that won't die down, but will grow and keep on growing.
Everything in Starbound from little things such as small items to larger things such as artwork, music or programming, creates an accomplished sense of excitement and brilliance radiating from each one of you, every little bit of work counts when it goes to such large group project. I do not doubt that once this game gets some more recognition for it's beauty, the population will blow up with hundreds of new people each and every day.
This all started from a dream, a dream with dedication, dedication with hard work, hard work with supporters, supporters with belief, belief that Starbound will become one of the most played games out there. If something so imaginative, so adventurous can come from just a hope, think of how much Starbound will be able to advance, how much it can push forward in the upcoming days, how much it will grow. Starbound is a game that has people who care for it, a game that has people who want to make sure it glows, people who want to see it prosper, people who won't rest until it's the best it is; which is why it's a magnificent work of art and forever will be.
I may be rambling on, I actually know I am rambling, but I believe that you all deserve the most praise you can earn for one of the greatest games that is going to be produced. I guess what I am trying to get across is that I would like to thank you, I would like you to know about what a beautiful thing you've created from teamwork, from cooperation, from genius minds, and from sheer devotion to Starbound. Good luck in the upcoming years of Starbound, and I hope everything goes well in the present time and the future! Goodbye and thanks again, you guys are awesome!

 

Compliment Update: Tiy, your hat is still quite fashionable. Do not abandon it.

 

I just read the daily update.

I'd like to extend a thank-you to everyone that works on this game. You're all putting forth an effort that couldn't be matched by even larger dev teams. No matter how many people they have, each of you as individuals are worth fifty of them because you care about the player and the community. I know all of you are busting major butt, and when you finally release the game, the payoff is going to be worth it for both parties- for the player, and how much money you guys are going to make.

I had no idea you guys were working THIS hard. I'd read before in daily updates about people staying up late- and even working on the game on the weekend- and while we were all aware of that, I'm pretty sure we weren't quite understanding how much you guys are sacrificing to work on this game.

Omni, especially- four hours of sleep a night? That's just not healthy.

"There are some more complicated bits, but it’s now 5AM in my part of the world, and I have to get up at 9AM to start work again on this stuff."-Omni

I appreciate everything you're doing- but as a good saying says, work hard, play hard. Please don't kill yourself working on Starbound, or the game will never be completed- not to mention that would be a really lame way to die...

Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is, thanks for working on the game, but calm down. No one would think worse of you for just working normal hours, and not pushing yourself like you're training for the Programming Olympics.

-Just gonna copypaste my post from my thread that I made before I was reminded about this thread.

 

Thank you devs so much for making this game

I mean, honestly, Sandbox + Space = AllYouNeedInLife
(Maybe food and water as well o.o)

 

tiy has a cool scarf. i mean this in a totally no-homo way.

 

Well, since someone went ahead and made this thread I would like to say that they're an awesome team. Never seen devs so in touch with the fans. Or a forum so cool for that matter. I want to hang around here, and check out discussions and get involved. It really makes a huge difference. Go team Chucklefish ! I'll always support when I can

 

GREAT JOB, GREAT WORK! From what I've seen and read everything seems to be shaping up brilliantly. Yes complimenting def makes me feel good, but you can't deny that from what you've viewed that there has been alot of passion from the devs to make alot possible. From listening to suggestions to ironing out bug after bug for something of a polished beautiful result I think each moment they have that creates another addition to Starbound is producing a brilliant product that we're going to just . Another addition to the memory entertainment group. I can't wait to share the results in the future. Thank you all for being amazing...

 

I really, really want to waste hundreds (possibly thousands?) of hours on your game.

Honestly, that's the best compliment I can think of.

also, you appear to be a wonderful, dedicated bunch of people.

 

I was wondering when the community was going to make a thread ignorantly dedicated to the sole worship of the devs as if they can do no wrong, and are the best game developers in the world. Very well, then, I'll participate.

Congratulations to the Chucklefish team on making such a brilliantly presented game to attract such a large community that it's begun to blindly love you, and fuel your self-esteems, for better or for worse.

 

All I know is that they're making a game that I'm really looking forward to, and that's all I need to know
(Well maybe I do know a BIT more than that )

 

Follow.... follow to doom or glory.... We will follow... the stars in the sky distract my mind and distort my thoughts.... but.... so many shiny futures. I can't resist but to follow... I LOVE YOU!

 

I don't think they can too no wrong or that they are the best game developers ever, but they are doing a great job for the most part. There will always be thread on forums for the sole purpose of ego boosting or destruction.

Must follow... must follow...

 

you are all amazing

the developers, staff, administration team, contributers, all of you.

ARE AWESOME!

 

follow. follow. update refresh, follow.. update refresh follow...Laaaa... Laaaa.. Cathuhu fhtagn..

 

Hope you guys check back here whenever you're feeling discouraged. You guys are making an awesome game that truly is something the industry has been lacking as of late. The fact that Tiy has stated multiple times that the various things that give "soul" to the game are required aspects of the game, even for the beta really speaks volumes to the kind of game you're all making. Thanks for the hard work and constantly adding things just to make this game even more wonderful that no one would have even thought to ask for in the first place, you guys rock!

 

It is good to see you being productive. Don't set too hard tasks for yourself. And remember that special ingredient by the name of "love" when you develop the generators.

 

I'm glad the developers are sticking to their guns and polishing this game thoroughly before letting the public at it. I'm quite sure that it will make the entire experience better in the long run.

Keep at it and get it done before the ball drops in NYC for 2014, and I'm sure it'll be a great game that everyone will enjoy.


I think I'm echoing the sentiment of others here when I say, don't go letting this bit of a cult following that has gathered start making you feel rushed. Keep an open mind and be diligent and all the good things are gonna come along in due course.

Cheers to all you Chucklefish folks

 

I love yo' faces!

 

I like your commitment to pixel art and your commitment to make something bigger and better than the last generation of these games (er. would that be Terraria?).
