Tiy considering opening Pre-Orders

Get hyped, get All of the hype

 

Yay! I hope that there are discount bundles, like 4 with a lower price than buying them individually.

 

Oh man, This is what I've been waiting a year for
Can't wait!

 

Let the massive, excessive, over-exaggerated, and over-dramatic speculation begin.
Wooo!

 

Starbound. Bringing your pissing-the-pants-from-excitement on brand new level.
Though on a serious note, those are good news you`ve brought there.

 

Happened to be on IRC when this was mentioned

 

So this is like how Minecraft did it?
You buy the game, and you get to play the beta?

...

Didn't they already say this?

 

Nice post. Sounds great, looking forward to seeing this story progress

 

To clarify, there is no mention of timetables in the tweets. He's gathering information on possible sources for distribution, but there's nothing saying, "We're doing this now, soon, or any time in the measurably near future." Just making sure that's clear before people start insinuating more from this than what it really is. It's fine to be excited, I am too, but let's keep it measured for our own sake's shall we?

Here's the actual tweets:

https://twitter.com/Tiyuri/status/314789071799070720 - BMT Micro, Digital Delivery or Other? Anyone have any insight?

https://twitter.com/Tiyuri/status/314792464064061440 - We're considering doing our own preorder, which would get you a steam key when the beta is released

https://twitter.com/Tiyuri/status/314795507102937088 - Lots of people recommending the humble store, they appear to have no credit card payment options though? Only paypal, amazon and google?

https://twitter.com/Tiyuri/status/314796823044829184 - @FuzzYspo0N I know, but there are a lot of people without an account that would prefer to just pay straight up with a CC.

https://twitter.com/Tiyuri/status/314797028234391553 - @HoLiC_SNES We'll be on steam too

 

Nono, they suggested they may do it, this post confirms that they are following through with it.

 

I will buy bundle packs and hoard the extra copies to myself

I AM SAVING MONEY

 

I believe they already said there was going to be a beta, though.

 

Remember everyone:

PRE-ORDER DATE IS NOT THE SAME AS THE BETA DATE.

 

*Explodes*
This is amazing currently,hopefully it wont be limited somehow,also im wondering how i would be able to buy it since im in czech republic..
Thanks for post also

 

Nope. But I might just get a TF2 hat from it.

 

Oh dear. Im getting out of here before the fanbase starts tearing itself to shreds and Tiy has to call the riot police to calm them down.

Oh, such excitable humanity you are.

 

Well, currently, we don't have either.

 

My body has been ready for a while! TAKE MY MONEY.

 

Not a beta date or a release date but this is great news!!

Finally I can throw money at them!

 

Tiy was already considering it how many months ago. Also, considering doesn't mean right now, or even soon. So don't get your hopes up that much. x.x;

Also for those curious about that 'beta' Tiy said he was considering a Pre-order beta, but it would be the finished game minus the story. Or that's what he was considering. I'd really rather they not do a beta, since I'd personally prefer the full game.
