New Interview - May 24th

I thought I had better post this for anybody that hadn't seen it, it has a few minute new details!

1. The Start
   • 'Starbound's story-driven, planet-hopping adventure kicks off as you narrowly avoid being destroyed alongside your doomed homeworld. Set adrift in the cosmos, you crash into an abandoned space station, which soon becomes a central hub for exploring the galaxy. "Players will be tasked with repairing this station and bringing it back to life whilst investigating those behind the homeworld attack," Brice explains.'
2. The Ship
   • 'The station's facilities range [widely], from a medical center where players can purchase support items and rest up to a creature lab that allows players to buy monster-related equipment and store caught creatures,' notes Brice. 'There's even a bar, though the use of which is somewhat secret and not entirely safe. Starbound's station hub is also where you'll access social features and invite friends to play.'
3. Item
   • 'The Kinetic Manipulator, for example, lets you rip huge chunks out of the terrain and hurl them around.'

 

Thanks for posting this, much appreciated.

 

Thanks for posting this here!

 

No worries, I thought quite a few people might not have seen it

 

I'm eager to see this Knetic Manipulator.
Good job on highlighting this to us, I bet most people haven't seen these.

 

I'm not even halfway through the page and I'm already dying of excitement at the details released

 

The thing that blew my mind the most was that Tiy's real name was Finn.

 

Holy crap! Somehow I missed that. How lucky can you get? Even before Adventure Time that name is still awesome

 

You should add the detail "...a creature lab that allows players to buy monster-related equipment and store caught creatures."

And add this detail to the "Ship" note: Starbound's station hub is also where you'll access social features and invite friends to play.

 

knetic manipulator? im gonna throw chunks of the terrain at bosses >: D or at the new guide if there will be one..

 

Oop yeah I'd missed off the bit about the creature lab! Already had the bit about inviting friends though hehe

It was mentioned a couple of times for Terraria but I guess most people probably didn't know!

 

I'm glad that you posted that, otherwise i'd surely have missed it.

The Spaceship info is interesting! I'd like to visit that bar!
And the Kinetic manipulator....i wonder how strong it will be. Maybe you'll be able to cast great pieces of a planet into space and it'll become a new planet!

 

yay for throwing all biomes together in a space-blender

 

No worries! Glad more people that haven't seen it yet are noticing it now that it's on the front page again hehe.

 

Oh sorry I don't know how I missed that

 

Woah, that's awesome. And "The Kinetic Manipulator" immediately reminded me of this.

 

The Gravity gun? That, on the other hand, reminds me of this.

 

OH MY GOSH! Your sig is EXACTLY how I reacted to this!

 

As seen in this interview: EPIC LINK TIME! Finn "Tiy" Brice, (yes, we now know his real name ) has talked about quite a few new EPIC stuff. Here's some of the stuff he talked about.

Kinetic Manipulator - This is basically gonna be the main tool for terraforming. Here's a direct quote from the interview: "The Kinetic Manipulator, for example, lets you rip huge chunks out of the terrain and hurl them around. While you can use it to terraform, it's also handy for harassing foes."

The bar (can't wait to get drunk ) - The bar is gonna be on your main station, here's the quote from the interview: "There's even a bar, though the use of which is somewhat secret and not entirely safe."
So we don't know the EXACT use for the bar. But I'm gonna guess there's gonna be npc's that have quests there.

A bunch of other stuff - There's TONS of other stuff, the other two were just the thing that really stood out to me. Check out the EPIC LINK TIME! for all the other EPIC stuff. NOW DISCUSS!

 

The kinetic manipulator DELIGHTS ME. That's the kind of stuff that will make this game beyond amazing to play. Not just walking along with a pickaxe, no, we get a kinetic manipulator! Its just fun to say
