The Planet of Hoth

A frozen world on the edge of the galaxy Hoth is covered almost completely with snow or ice.
On the surface the player may take a continuous damage, perhaps just at night, not sure.
In ice caves creatures that are hostel and ferocious reside. Yeti, or a yeti like monster 12 feet tall lives just beneath the surface level. Deeper down, geothermal energy warms the caves allowing for a greater variety of fauna...

That is the general idea, it's basically a rip off of Star Wars but with more creatures and a deeper habitable zone.
The deeper regions could have a large variety of blind creatures that sense you by either feelers, smell, or you stumbling into their trap...

 

Well the name Hoth may get Georgie mad at them. But There is an ice world already promised.

 

The pictures I saw of the snowy area looked good, but it was more like Earth in an ice age.
I enjoy the excitement of not knowing what you might find on a totally sci-fi planet.
The weird and the wonderful, bring it on!

 

I'm not sure blatantly copying an idea from Star Wars is a very good way to make a video game
Well, Phasesabers were pretty cool...
As long as you don't call it Hoth I am sure it will be fine
Just don't expect me to build ATATs or something

 

I'm sure an ice planet won't skip the dev's minds. I don't think planets will have pre-set names though.

 

On screens we aciually could see ice planets with PENGUIN KING : O just imagine penguins piloting AT-AT

 

There already is an ice planet in the screenies. Now we need some AT-AT walkers an we will be set

 

Are you asking they put ATATs in the game?

 

Well, we've seen riding animals and we've seen riding mechs... Tauntauns and AT-STs are just a couple flaps to the Northwest. But they might not work too well since that sort of navigation only proves to be useful in 3D spaces, I think.

The only reason I put 'Hoth' in the title is because everyone knows what I mean.
If starbound is going to be a true exploration game, a planet could be anything you wanted to name it -
...And... it doesn't have to be snow everywhere, I like the idea of geothermal energy being a way for life to survive.
Some moons of Jupiter may have life deep under the ice - we don't know, that's what makes it interesting.
Think of a planet where, the farther towards the surface you went, the harsher and more inhospitable it got - that's what this planet is.

 

Yea, Basically That would be awesome cubed!

 

Lol, I can imagine.

 

Cube World?

 

Cubed AT-AT.
Or "Pixelated" w/e.

 

I can work on some kind of 16-bit ATAT to cover the Hoth planet

 

That would be cool.
