Introducing the Apex

It took me ages to realise it was the apes >.> No concept picture xD But, I would say i will play as these, but then i need to find out the other 3 races. If they are as good as the Avians and Apex, we got a tough decision!

 

There's gotta be a Companion Cube!!

Also how do you pronounce Apex?

 

Ai-Pe-Ex?
i seroisly dont know.

 

If that's how you feel about a screenshot, how are you going to react when it comes out?

 

Impressive for a bunch of monkeys.

Looking at the stuff in there we can deduce some of the things we will likely see in the game

- Falling blocks (Holographic? Judging by the fact they reappear shortly after) - May be required to have a level of cicuitry to manually shut off or on/ place it down and it does it itself / predefined feature of the generated apex enviroment?

- Heavy duty doors that can flexibly hold back fluids such as water and can be placed on ceilings, doorways and (presumably) underneath the player on floors (opportunity for traps and such are endless)

- Big red floor button (who doesnt love a red button?) must potentially be room for more subtle wall buttons (Leading again the possiblity of circuitry and player made rigged up systems)

- Asthetic features - Bookcases, chairs, tables pretty much the standard stuff (The wall posters/signs are quite neat, i wouldnt be dissipointed if we could take them down and put a blank one back up and choose the design that goes inside it from a pallete of ingame ones to a few custom ones.)

- Security camera's - practical or asthetic unknown but it would be neat if screens could be set up to give a live feed of what they are seeing

- Interactable machinery - That apex in the top left hand side infront of the cloning vats is about to pull a big lever, it would be interesting if the player could operate machines like that too (even if it triggers a unexpected result like base self destruct or activation/release of some dangerous critter robots)

Thats all the conclusions i can give regarding the image given.

 

I said that as in I REALLY want to play Starbound

 

None! I'll be playing Mutliplayer!
(some of the time...)

 

Love the scenario, but i dont really like Apes

 

Do you see what i see? SENTRY GUNS?!

 

Apex sounds like a nice race, I like the fact that the races in Starbound have a story of some kind, not just a plain description of their abilities and their looks.
I will probably play as a human though, and subdue every other race!

 

I like the references (even though I only get the portal one) I probably won't be this race though, I like human, or something else. (wasn't Mini Kong one of the characters in the donkey Kong games?) :O I just realized something..... it would be awesome to be called up to test or what ever, and you have to go through portal like tests... (has everyone thought of it and it was too obvous that no one posted it?) any way, Great job, I can't wait for more updates!

 

they're actually security cameras that may or may not double as guns.

 

technically that would be a remote controlled turret, or one with a cheap "Friend or Foe" identification view with auto-fire, and visual feed to a security room.

 

At the top left of the pic there's a sliding door holding some acid.

 

Ooohhh. well if you say that, its entirely possible.

 

Pretty sure he'd rather have the game itself, is his point.

 

We know that, and the button below it opens it up.
....A few of us declared that we'd open it anyways.

What interests me a lot is that theres a pipe dripping acid down, so theres a piping system? maybe? hmmm~~

 

Yes. We have a race thats leadership is EVIL! I am going to blow up every Apex I see that is not a other player or one of ze rebels.
