Hour and a half of Starbound gameplay!

Crap... I suck at Castlevania...
<-- Actually just sucks at all 2d games.

 

Pretty fun video! Few points that came to my mind while watching:

Character's hands need to bend slightly depending on the actions, it looks so weird when they are always straight.
Character's head should also move and follow the pointer just like the arms
There have to be kick from weapon recoil, so it should move back and forth when fired, otherwise again, look very weird (also maybe add muzzle flash?)
I think it would be much better if when player is outside, the inside of the dungeon/buildings is black, so you can't see unless you open the door or walk in, same when inside the building, shouldn't see surrounding world through the walls.
Character blinking when taking damage doesn't look very good imo.
Sound of character falling, is too loud and too heavy, should be little bit softer and toned down.
Sound of bricks falling should be softer too (basically any sound that you will hear all the time, should be very very soft and toned down, so it doesn't get annoying after 5 minutes of playing)
Not sure how it will work in final game, but I think it should cost fuel to travel between planets, that would make player to stay on a planet for sometime to find enough fuel to go back or look for new planet
Its probably video quality, but it seems like sometime characters blend in with the background and the environment.

(I am aware that a lot of content is still in development, but just giving my 2 cents on what I see atm)

 

They said ages ago that there wont be a star map ^^

 

dont forget, this is all WIP

and tiy just said in the video that there will.

 

Good to hear!
It would be nice to hear the sound of a blade hitting something fleshy too!

 

I was going to poke things with a spear. The concept of running around beating things with a whip is too hilarious to not do now.

 

Can somebody put my mind at ease by telling me the music is for sure just simply muted and not non existent on the surface areas?

 

Pretty sure that was muted.

 

all of my erections.

 

That "send to ship" button interests me for some reason.

 

It really does me too. It has a pixel icon next to it so it looks like you may have to pay to do it? It makes sense to have a send to ship button since when you go up to the ship and then beam back down it sends you to the original 'spawn' point. The main use for it I expect will be to get something out of your inventory that you still need.

 

I love you.

 

anyone else notice the little sounds going on in the background? the sound of wind blowing and such on the snowy planet, the rain sounds and thunder & lightning was very nice imo
i could also hear (i think?) birds or something making noise as well on the desert planet, i can't remember exactly but there were sounds happening in the background to add some more immersion to things: very nice

not to mention getting hit sounds much better in SB compared to terraria's "little kid ouch sound"
however, i think when getting killed-the player should have a different sound compared to just getting hit

an example would be in RE4, whenever leon got hit by something he'd get staggered and make a "ugh" sound(kinda), most of the time when he died-he would sort of gasp for air and such

it'd be a nice touch if we had the player sort of gasp for air when they get killed, just my opinion

 

Said death gasp is ridiculous too.

 

I like a slightly different sound for death, not necessarily a death gasp, but I would like some variation. I feel sounds that we're going to hear often could also have a little randomization, just enough so you can't tell.

 

Will the planets have any more detail and life? It feels extremely empty. It's probably just the lack of background music, Terraria's music always felt a little filling to the soul.

Alongside this, it does put the feel of adventure on an unknown alien planet, which is the premise of this. For some reason I kept imagining luscious and full of life, rather than something I'd see on mars. Oh well, it's just that the planets I saw on the video don't suit me that well

 

THX for Share. I love this Game so much and this Video was very exciting. I would buy it on this stage, even it isn´t finished yet. I hope it will be relaesed soon, i can´t wait any longer^^

This.

And this.

 

This puts all my concerns to rest, thank you for responding.

 

Tiy said he disabled spawning because most of the stuff is a work in progress.

I thought the lightning was a bit too frequent, the flashing was a bit irritating. Other than that it looks awesome!!! Keep up the great work guys!
