Suggestion on New Stretch Goal!

Yeah, you have to fight a certain number of Chaos demons to get out lol.

 

FISHING. fishing fishing fishing. different catchables in different environments. tiered equipment for it so people can use fishing goods to help build better equipment suited to fishing or with minor bonuses to other things? Design a little minigame to keep it interesting and difficult to catch the best stuff with base equipment. Trophy room for displaying your unique fish. maybe some fishable monsters/mini bosses?

FISH FISH FISH.

Would be neat to be able to keep different sized tanks with live fish (hard requirements for containment) or mounted fish for wall placement as decoration in various ways?

 

I made a whole thread of this idea, so I just included it in.

 

Since the developers already (awesomely) announced that they will use the "extra" money to get a new pixel artist on board to take care of the Novakid sprites and animations, I'm thinking one completely new and creative environment/planet type may be a cool addition and presumably shouldn't be too much hassle for the devs if that pixel artist can take care of it. There are many, many suggestions in the "Suggestions" Forum about new terrain types and some of them are really good. I think one more terrain type goes a long way to make the universe look even more varied.

 

A completely different idea is an additional PvP game-mode that I think is not implemented yet:


1) Think of a relatively small planet (or moon/asteroid) that loops around infinitely: <- __-_'_''_=_"^|_^___ <-

2) Two teams constantly battling each other on those planets. Automatically assign players to one of two teams and tint any participants who visit that planet in one of two identifiable team colors for the duration of the match (blue vs. red for example)

3) Several destructible yet fortified structures or buildings that function as checkpoints where teammates will automatically revive after being killed (after a short cooldown time).

4) Perhaps some minimum/maximum limits to prevent grossly mismatched opponents in terms of gear.
Or just strip players of all their gear for the duration of matches.

Think Battlefield meets Starbound - not just silly deathmatch but two teams fighting over cool checkpoints that provide some real benefits to the teams.
The benefits could be anything really, perhaps just ticket counters or maybe maybe solar panels on the roof that generate pixels, which can then be used to buy weapons/vehicles for the duration of the round (those earned pixels shouldn't carry over into your real game).

Probably too much to ask but sure as hell would be awesome for the combat-eager players.
Just some space in the universe for people to easily jump into fun, awesome "virtual" fights.

 

I would love loads of extra lore like 10 pages of lore for each race.

 

Someone said space combat, that'd be cool. Life Force/Gradius, in spaaaaaa--...wait...

 

I'm just saying I don't need pets or any more content. Some people have been suggesting caarazy things that would take forever to code and delay release. I'm simply saying that another staff member might run things smoothly. Maybe they are at capacity but I don't think another person would slow things down or make "imperfect systems and mechanics". Maybe that person is the one working on "imperfect systems and mechanics" which could be a factor in slowing development. Maybe it gets done at the same time but there is less stress on the devs so the content is of better quality. Maybe think before you post or tell me that I'm the one putting tons of undue pressure on the devs. Maybe **** yourself.

 

I just want something simple that won't take much time at all. I would rather have the money help the developers and at the same time that may help us receive the game faster. To be honest I would have rather had the first two stretch goals and even the third all be for faster releases rather than more content. But this is just me. I don't feel that we are entitled to more content just because we decide to pre-order a game but I do appreciate the Devs being as generous as they are to ensure that the content we reach through the stretch goals will be implemented into the game without a delay (I just hope that the games undelayed state is pretty soon because I don't think I can wait much longer haha).

If I had to choose a stretch goal though then I would simply want an art/development book. This book would not have to come out with the game or even be physical (A digital book would be perfectly fine), but it would be cool to see the concept art, progress through the time its taken them, any cool fun facts that we might not know.

Its just that what most people are forgetting is that if anything is complicated then it would most likely be code heavy and that would lead then to a delayed game, especially the more pre-order stretch goals we reach.

 

If these arn't in, Hydrothermal vents and Micro-organisms that colonize them. would be interesting if there was biology in Starbound
Or Wandering frozen planets that dont have an orbit around stars, there just wandering through space.

 

1.5M goal should be immediate beta access for all!!!

 

You would still need to submit an email for them to send it to.
So pretty much... No.

Also it would probably drastically decrease income as a result of everyone on the forums getting beta.

 

Backward compatibility (with Terraria ofc)

 

No. They would have to make a whole syncing system and add everything from terraria into starbound and everything from starbound into terraria.
Otherwise that would make them become the exact same game, just with different graphic settings.

 

Sigh*

And that's how a very promising thread was runied by
- not following rule #1
- making suggestions that are clearly beyond sanity and won't happen
- posting ideas shorter than a sentence that are worthless without elaboration


Really, I think a mod should reopen a thread just like this, state clear rules, and just delete all the stupid BS in between good and serious suggestions.

 

A lot of the things people are suggesting I think should already be in the game. Such as fishing. We need some awesome water content. Cause to be honest I didn't even go to the water biome in terraria... I saw the boats and they look amazing. Why not fishing? And the star gate ruins is an awesome idea. But it seems like an idea that should already be In the game. I feel like "space" just being a GUI to travel to different planets isn't 'star bound' level. Needs more events around the solar system! Love all the ideas coming in.

 

Heh, imagine something like Dragon Balls. Good luck trying to find one

 

an alliance system with the npc factions and races which would grant access to special items exclusive to those factions or races as we improve our relationships with them through quests and such

 

Honestly, I think more stretch-goals might be overkill.

BUT

If there even is a fourth stretch-goal, then maybe a way to splice two animals together to make a mixture of both. Given that the creature generator works as good as it seems to, it sounds feasible.
But more realistically, just more mechs or something along those lines.

 

I would rather have the fun of searching for planet after planet looking for brand new creatures and animals rather than basically create them by taking the ones I already have.

And yes, more mechs is good. I want underwater mechs.
