Due time for Hylotl intro?

Im actually really surprised we havent heard ANYTHING about the hylotls as of yet. I wonder if theres a specific reason for this? Or its just not a priority. At this rate the Hylotl seem like they could be a really special and unique species that theyre saving for an exciting info release.

 

I think they were going to release the intro once they finished the Hylotl dungeons and villages. But I think that was a few weeks back already

 

Or maybe they just don't want to reveal everything and tease the players too hard.

 

which is why im thinking maybe theyre a really really cool and unique species, you know how Tiy is with holding back cool info

 

I would love some info on them since that's my favourite Starbound race so far judging by their design !
Hooray for Hylotl !

 

The devs seem to lose sight of doing things/revealing info in a patterned, structured way.

Roadmap's all but forgotten, "Ask Us Anything" is just as dead, the intros were presumably worked on since the last one was discussed, but haven't been a topic of discussion for a while..

I'd like to know if, when they stop mentioning major features altogether: are they finished, or are they put on the backburner? See: The official trailer, the intros, etc.

 

I rather waiit till beta release, some stuff is just meant t be discovered while playing, but that's just my opinion.

 

I'm surprised too, to be honest. Thus far, the Human and Avian intros have been shown, the Floran intro has been teased, and racial writeups for all of the races with the exception of the Humans and Hylotl are out (the writeup for the Novakids, as a player-created race, have always been available even before they were promised). Hylotl have recieved, or seemed to recieve, almost no attention from the devs thus far. They haven't been showcased at all.

What gives, devs? Surely one of your original six races isn't that underdeveloped compared to the others, right?

 

It was specifically said that they weren't going to show off anymore intros or re-spawn animations because of spoilers

 

I must've missed this. Care to link where this was said? I'd like to know so I can link others if the topic comes up again.

 

I seem to recall hearing that too

 

I do recall hearing that for respawn animations, not sure for intro or lore article though.

 

I agree. Hell, I mean even the 7th race that was added after the rest for the pre-order has more lore than these guys. I think it is high time that we heard about our oriental fishy friends.

The reason that they don't constantly update the road map is that it takes a lot of time to do. Way more than, say, putting out an update every single day for us. It will still get updated, just slower and when a lot has changed.

 

Well, I'm still waiting, I hope they'll release something about them soon!

 

Personally I don't understand the Hylotl. They can survive out of water yet they're fish creatures? It would make sense if they were more like frogs but I don't really get them all that much.
If I could think of a storyline I'd say they were like Human/Lizard-like creatures that had to adapt to the water, rather than the other way around.
But that's just my thinking on the matter

 

I imagine it is something like this:

 

Not true. There have been several updates to the roadmap. People just don't seem to realize it.

... wait, is that accurate? I am wondering if maybe it's lying & the roadmap really has not been updated in a while. =/ maybe you were right.

I would like to see a trailer. I don't know why that hasn't happened yet. But I guess it means they've used that time to work on the game.

 

I imagine an intro where a bunch of aliens invade the Hyotl homeworld and start eating them as sushi. Or something similarly funny in a dark way.

 

It's lying.
