    Though I've heard you mention this somewhere else before, I am satisfied to the utmost with your more official and direct message on the forums to confirm the whispers and apparent uncertainty.
    I look forward to your next big tease, so that I may bask in the spoils of knowledge that you allow us to take with little effort.
    I say, I just cannot fathom what to be in store from the upcoming gameplay video....yes,quite!

    Can you be any more specific than that? As someone coming from Terraria, I'm fairly concerned on this issue (and I think others may be as well). Are we talking longer than Terraria? I understand you can't update forever, and the duration of updates will depend on popularity. But Terraria was updated for less than a year, and there were a lot of plans to continue updates despite the abrupt stop in development, and the fact that it's an unfinished game. Any hesitation I have to buy this game is 100% due to that.
     
  6. Probably something like you can't leave the game. Ever.

    Tiy once stated that he hoped to keep the main team on starbound for about a year doing constant updates. After that year he wanted to put the small team that was doing weekly updates in charge of keeping everything rolling for as long as people stayed interested.

    I seriously hope this won't end up like minecraft is today with jeb adding crappy updates every half a year which only make the game only more unfair to newbies on SMP
    Come on, first enchantments, potions, then this beacon...
    They turn older players into indestructible freaking... things!
    You had a chance to defeat somebody with better armor back then...

    That's awesome! Sounds very thought out. I can't wait to meet the secondary team. Will there be texture pack support (Like in Minecraft)? And modding support?
    If I wan't to install a mod or a texture pack I don't wanna hav to mess around with the game files like in Terraria.

    sounds like you really have the development patterns for this game all figured out and also good to see that in game content will be able to be made without needing to be a good modder.

    Nice,

    But i'd be happy to pay for fleshed out DLC if it adds to the meta game

    Wow. I think I'm getting addicted to posts about the game. But this is actually awesome.
    And if this game IS true to it's word (not saying it won't be), I'd probably lose my social life.
    ...
    Wait, that's a bad thing. Mental note - Don't get too addicted.

    be very very careful using the word "always" tiy..even with the heaps of content released in terreria post release people STILL felt super entitled to infinite updates,and there was no promise of updates as long as the game was being played there.its very risky making promises like that....further more...if you dont give us a solid release date today..i will reinstall diablo 3 and force my gf to play it for upwards of 3 hours.as you can imagine this is the worse kind of torture..soo.....do the right thing ok??

    Well, in game developement, you'll never know when the game is finished for release. Same with my (failing) Terraria mod. I tought over 9000 times that it was ready for release, but then i found a bug, or something that just had to be added. It is'nt ever sure that it will be released 'near the end of the year'. Maybe it's already optimized for release tomorrow, or maybe in March 2013. No one knows.

    But, i agree what you said about the infinite updates.

    Sorry to dissapoint you, but go now and reinstall Diabolo 3 :p

    Exactly what I wanted to hear. Dedicated weekly update team + large content updates. Perfect.

    This would be pretty... AWESOME!

    I see a lot of games that stop updating their games. This just makes me want to buy this game even more!

    Oh, Another thing I wanted to ask but totally forgotten: Will people from the smaller team that will work on the game after you're all good and done, will they have worked on this game at all before that point? Do you already have the set members of the team in mind, and can you really trust them with the game you've put your heart into? Not to say they might be bad at what they do, But I for one also find little nitpicks when someones doing something I believe I know better then them and get all huffy about it haha.
