Things you DON'T want the developers to show

I don't really want to see too many more demonstrations of "look how random the worlds are generated!"

If one of the key elements is exploration and discovery, that "wow" factor of when you see a planet with colours and plants and creatures that you've never seen before, then it doesn't make much sense to show off the random generation. The forest video was nice and displayed the concept nicely, so I hope they leave the rest up to us!

 

I personally don't want the devs showing us loads of gameplay footage in general, for the same reason as Manixx stated. You want that surprise factor the first time you play, and you also don't want to know exactly what you are doing first time round, it would be great fun in my opinion to have to try things out first hand, and not know how to do anything and everything.

But then again you also want to see enough footage so then you can relax and know they have done that certain thing right.

 

Precisely. Showing mechanics and stuff - like the multiplayer building, the water engine, the lighting engine etc. - works incredibly well because it shows what we're actually going to be buying. If the mechanics look solid and what little of the aesthetic you see from these demonstrative videos look good, then you can tell they're doing it all right.

 

This.
They should have a test planet, just to show off features (if they were going to do it on a regular basis, besides random mobs.)
If nothing but to show us features besides terrain-gen.

 

Genitals.

 

The build demo didnt highlight much of the randomization neither did the live stream. Tiy specifically mentioned he turned off a bunch of that so it didnt ruin the surprise and alot of it isnt polished yet.

Facebook, its like half the internet right there man.... lol. plus a load of game sites did some pieces on the game

 

My Facebook feed is full of image macros, songs, how mess up life is, and pregnancy statuses. I'm the only one of my class that keeps up to date on games.

 

that sucks man, im sorry.

 

I do not want Chucklefish showing me pictures of whales.

 

I don't wanna see much combat and too much of anything, just a base. <---- Like a blank face.

 

Made me laugh ironically more than it should have... Perhaps they'll also drop development and give Starbound over to a new publisher for XBLA?

Surely you'd want to see some combat just to see how polished it is?

 

I would but just a small portion. I don't really wanna see too much.

 

At this point, I only want to really see how capturing/taming monsters/creatures will work, and even then, I kind of want to figure that out on my own
I really don't want to see too many more of their monsters, as I want to study the creatures of Starbound myself. I also don't want to see any bosses, I mean, you've got to love that feeling when you finally figure out how to handle a boss

This
and I dont want to see how ALL the weps work, or ALL the secrets of combat.

 

I almost certainly dont want the developers to show something like
florans rubbing butts.

but if they ever decided to do such a thing i guess i would have to live with it
and pretend it never happened.
