Starbound...DUNGEONS?!

So, we were just sitting in IRC today, when suddenly. TIY.

<@Tiy> you guys will not *believe* what bartwe has done with the dungeon system

Just like that we find out there are DUNGEONS in this beast, as though this game wasn't already amazing before! I don't even know what to say I'm so excited about this!

 

Space dungeons! With instead of an old man guarding the entrance, you got E.T there instead! Epic.

 

Assuming that's the only thing he said, he sure knows how to leave people hanging.

 

That totally was the ONLY thing. And then bartwe refused to talk about it! D=

 

Yeah hanging of the end of his fishing pole reeling us in slowly!

 

Dungeons are always nice ​

 

Hopefully, if dungeons are implemented, that there's more variety than in Terraria. They got pretty boring after a while. It'd be great to see something like, overgrown ruins, abandoned, technologically advanced facilities or destroyed, rural villages or something along those lines.

 

Given that Terraria only ever had ONE dungeon, that won't be hard to beat. Everything in this game is procedurally generated, and it's safe to say that the dungeons will be as well. We can expect to see the same variety and amazing work from the team that's been shown in everything we've seen so far.

 

What about abandoned space stations, and soon as you enter you get swarmed by mutant infected astronauts!!

 

I'm pretty sure they said there will be non planet things we get to explore, like wrecked ships and asteroids and stuff like that

 

I wanna go explore an asteroid, then have a giant worm thing attack me like in Star Wars

 

I have an odd feeling that there will be a dungeon at some planets cores...

 

Rho said, and I quote "We have dungeons out the a**" so I'm sure we're going to encounter them in a variety of ways

 

Oh wow, this game is going to be huge! From what I've read it seems like there are going to be quite a bit more active things going on in Starbound then Terraria (which is saying something, Terraria had a lot of things to do in it !) I can't wait!!

 

Dungeons...IN SPAAACE....This could be cool...

 

Of course there where going to be dungeons....I mean how else was I going to get my King Bean Coffee beans? I mean what the King bean just sort of chilled on land. Pfffft!!!!!!! Thats what wimps do, he built his own dungeon that drips caffeine!

 

old man with a space helmet and dungeon guardian with a space helmet xd

 

Good god I am going to cry if this game is not out by the end of the summer.

 

Dungeons are definitely a great addition to the game. I hope there will be themed dungeons, where the monsters would have a similar style to them.

 

As long as their definition of "dungeon" is very loos. In the .hack games a dungeon could be just about anything. You walk into a huge open mouth and guess what, your in a belly and its a living dungeon. Stone castle, lots of pathways and maze like. In a cave, dark and lots of places to fall. They even had a dungeon that was inside a giant floating mummy! Thats the kind of dungeons I want to see in this game, especially considering how diverse the planets are. The tentacle planet could have a dungeon with actual attacking tentacles coming from the walls, the crystal dungeon could have falling crystal traps and such.
