I stopped following/checking the forums in early October, I think. Just came back (months and months of no updates is painful) because I was looking at my Steam Library and saw Starbound in my list and wondered if there has been any 'stable' updates yet.
Welcome back! I think I joined around the time you left.. that was quite a while ago. However I stay in the forums these days not just to check on the progress, but because it's a community I enjoy being a part of. .. I don't need the game to get updates to be here hehe ^w^
Hold on, there's a stable update confirmed to be released very soon? I haven't read the devs blogs too carefully so I must've missed it O~o
YOU DON'T READ THE BLOGS!!!?? I treat each of those as new biblical chapter and verse. You are a heathen, sir!
I 'didn't'. Before I stopped coming, I had been following the forums for over a year before the 'beta' started. I didn't actually create an account until the sale of said beta, though. When I quit coming, it was mostly about 'Why isn't the stable here yet?' almost constantly.
17. And it came to pass that Bartwe was taken up, and verily did his pillar of flame and java ascend him unto heaven. 18. Now after this passing the LORD did makest it known to the people of Ch'kelfeesh that there were to be no endings, and that the completion of their works, which even then was known Star Bound, would continuest from that day. 19. And the LORD said unto those people: from the alpha sector, and this beta sector, and even unto the great X sector I shall relieve you. The lands of the Avians, and the Apex, the Hylotl and Floran, the Humans, and the Glitch, yea even those of the children Nova shall be your lands. Only be thou strong and very courageous, and equip unto thee that gear most appropriate, and thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.
