List of Announced Game Information (Retired due to release)

Just avoid big font.And bold.

 

the problem is that with the black background any color that isnt white is hard to read or blinds the reader, if not i whould have used some colors already

note, you can also make secret messages writhing in the same color as the background like this

 

That looks more like quote background, not actual post background
Visible both ways though

 

visible but hardly noticeabe

 

i think that's the actual background color, if not, the quotes

incredible how new can make so much hyoe about something, looking forward to the next batch of news

 

AHHH!!!! I just saw on the list a game feature that I have been planning for the game I have been working on for a couple years. Although I will probably never actually make my game it is still kind of sad to see another game use it. Now it will look like I stole it. Oh well. I like the feature so it is a good addition to Starbound.

 

Wait, what's the feature?

 

I was going to have a class in my game that could hit shift to go into stealth mode to sneak past monsters if they were not spotted. I thought it was so brilliant and novel but apparently someone else thought of it to. Oh well.

 

Maybe I'm confused or getting trolled, but i'm pretty sure that class and skill is in pretty much every MMO.

 

Thanks for the information !!! it really HELPED!

 

you mean exactly like lone survivor did a couple of months ago?

 

Wrong, actual BG color is #181818

 

I might have missed what you're saying, but there are several games where I hit a key and go into stealth mod in order to sneak past npcs, which include Oblivion, Skyrim, Minecraft, and Stealth Hunter...

 

I think he may be referring to sneaking in a game with a 2 dimensional plane. It's a little harder to do stealth in a game where you have to walk through and enemy to get past him

 

Unless I am mistaken none of those are 2D Sidescroller games. Which does make a difference, because how enemies become alerted to your presence would change to fit the game type. Additionally, I am not talking about hitting a button, I'm talking about holding down the Shift button specifically. The feature is literally exactly what I was going to do, thus the surprise and slight sadness of seeing it listed. Obviously a stealth mode in one form or another is nothing new. Now it is possible there are other 2D games out there that do this, but since no one has enough money or time to play every game ever made it is not unreasonable that I would have missed them.

 

Exactly. It is the 2D environment that makes it different.

 

wouldn't shifting to the background change that? just an idea.

 

What do you mean exactly? Like shifting takes your character into the background so monsters in the foreground can't see you? If that is what you mean, the problem is that you still need monsters to have a chance to detect you. I suppose in that case then you would just have being detected automatically pull you into the foreground again.

 

This game does. Sorry. :C

 

Yes... that was my point.
