Dungeons and Villages

Tweeted by Tiy, as seen here.
Short, sweet, and to the point:
"Working on random dungeons and villages"
What do you guys think? What are you expecting from these locations? What can you do in the villages, what kind of things can you expect from the dungeons?

 

i just got really excited that there's going to be random dungeons and towns

i would like, if maybe at least 1 town minimum for most planets(that are habitable) and a few more for some larger planets(obviously)

i wonder how big some of these dungeons and towns could be?
or even if there will be "ghost towns" where everybody has packed their sh*t and left, leaving the town to basically slowly fall apart

also some sky dungeons, and ones that are above ground would be nice as well

btw having a mythical sky dragon as a boss from a dungeon in the sky would be amazing imo

 

Cool, this is really exciting.
I hope we can see people inhabiting the villages with funny things, like a house where a family lives with their Poptop pet.
Anyway, really love the idea of random villages.

As long as it doesn't spawn every 2 minutes it should be awesome.

 

I love these type of threads because it makes it really hardfor you to miss info
Thanks for the update man

 

as long as they are better than their minecraft counterparts (duh.) ...

AWESOME!
hopefully we are going to see many different designs, like the forests...
also, different stages of development for the villages would be nice.

 

This all sound pretty great. Hope it will live up to my expectations....wait a minute....of course it will. Terraria was great and this looks even better

Yeah agreed haha! Does sound pretty awesome though.

 

I imagine we can obtain NPC Buddies from the villages. Like you do all the Quests for them, and they say "As thanks you may take [Insert Name] here, the most powerful warrior in our land to aid you in your quest" or something like that. Or on the other hand, you could end up with a "This person is to be exiled" and you get them to join you. Not to mention all the loot you will get from villages.

 

Tiy really is making a dream game with Starbound (and not only his, hehe)... This game just seems to have everything thought of to make it the most complete experience possible. Well, of course, I just don't expect much from the story even though I certainly believe it'll be entertaining, but other than that I've been impressed by all gameplay elements/graphics/musics/concepts so far.

Great job, devs! ^^

 

Yay! more places to loot and pillage

 

I dunno about you but in my opinion games like these needs little to no history, since we are free to build our own!
But anyways...

Both features were expected but I'm more than happy to know such thing will actually be ingame!
Hopefully, there will be interaction with the villager, or a leader of a sort.

Dungeon? I hope they are full of dangerous traps and wondrous loot!

 

So what sort of dungeon, In our Sci-fi genre game, are we talking about? Abandoned ruins, some dudes castle, generic fantasy game sprawl of brick and goblin sort of deal; or is this going to fit within the theme of the game, with abandoned labs, derelict factories, Some dead species hyper advanced tech ruins? There seems to be a lot of fantasy talk going about in this supposed Sci-Fi based game.

And these villages, are we talking about starter colonies with electricity; or nothing but thatched roofs, arrow knee'd guards in full plate, Giving me low tech rewards for my actions that were carried out with Future weapons. This is starting to feel an awful like Star Ocean.

 

Abandoned research facilities and space stations? I personally am going to love seeing what the dungeons turn out like.

 

Hopefully I can get all the villagers to like and trust me... And then I stab them literally in the back, and loot the whole place. But should I save some villages, so I'll have a place to go on different planets? WE SHALL SEE...

 

Yessssss lands to conquer and serfs to terrorize! All they need now is my black corruption breathing dragon and my game experience is complete!

 

And all lands burnt, corrupted and pillaged.

 

You should be able to recruit members for the spaceship in those villages.

 

Yeah, I'd like that.

 

I'm kinda hoping for some overwrought colonies to serve as villages. If not that, some seriously anachronistic tech being used, Like if the Romans invested in Hero's steam turbine. Get some steamy Roman tanks to take on, automatic ballistas, Maybe some Pike Rifles. You know, some Science Fiction.

 

Tiy said on IRC the other day 'You won't believe what we've done with the dungeon system' or something to that effect too. So I'm really looking forward to some more information on this!

As other people have said though I do hope that at least some things stick with the futuristic theme. It would be cool to have a variety of technological levels though to give a bit of variety and show that not everyone in the universe lives exactly the same. Kind of like Starbound Amish populations, with a lot more basic villages and things.

 

First thing I thought of when I saw "Villages" was Raccoon Tree Houses on Jungle Planets....
