Only people at fault for that are themselves. Pre orders should (as common sense seems to be a tad lacking these past years), come with a warning. "please remember, we have not confirmed a release date as of yet so please take that into consideration when placing an order and certainly DO NOT click if you possess patience of a 2 year old!"
With a working product at i49 I think the information most of us are concerned with is when are we getting our hands on something playable? Most here will defend CF and I completely understand that, but many people are already expecting to hear another push back in the release date. I want the game to be amazingly polished and fun, but Beta does not equal polished or complete. The real issue I see is if CF releases a Beta, will everyone understand what a Beta is and what to expect. I know not everyone will see things my way and this is my opinion, but I am sure some out there can agree with most of what I have to say.
I really hope they update http://treasureadventureworld.com/ and have a link from their main page. It can be kinda hard to find the pre-order page from just going to their homepage. Thanks to Rho and her Twitter, I was one of the first 15 people to buy the game
"next indie classic..." Treasure adventure whatever cant touch Starbound! If you guys would hold the extra content updates for beta than maybe the rest of the world would have a chance to see that. You gonna let these guys release before you!? Common team Starbound! Release beta and lets get testing already!
So this look like Zelda but 2D. Hmmm nice I guess but was expecting somthing on starbound. I mean this is the starbound website are all and not the chuckle fish general website even though chuckle fish is making booth games.
I largely agree with all of this. The updates are incredibly well appreciated, and I'm well aware that it's no easy task that Chucklefish has taken on here in development. All of that said, I'm also getting to the point where everything has worn a bit thin and my excitement for the game has waned considerably. Why exactly that has happened isn't clear to me - it's not just that it's taken so long for the game to hit beta, but likely a combination of factors that have drawn my attention away. At this point I think I've long resigned myself to the fact that I should just be happy if they hit their deadline of 2013 for the beta. It's probably an effort to not continue to get my hopes up, but yeah - was a little annoyed to see the Starbound blog covering another game, asking for preorder funds, when Starbound doesn't actually appear to be that close to the beta.
there is no such thing as bad/negative publicity - any publicity raises awareness is another one of those people that believes a beta is overdue but still waiting while feeling a bit shafted out of a product~
No thanks, I think I'll continue to regret paying for Starbound already, rather than handing you some more money for something I won't be getting anytime soon =)
or just look at the url, http://community.playstarbound.com i cant find a chucklefish word there. and the word "play" should be changed to "readabout"
At the risk of raining on your parade I'm only here for Starbound and i promise you on release i will have wandering adventures searching among the stars and the valleys of strange worlds for treasures. Oh and also? Rebirth.
The amount of ungrateful, self-entitled whining and complaining is really embarrassing to see. I would say this community is better than that, but when half of it is full of spoiled brats I'm not so sure.
This game looks amazing! I would love to pre-order it, but I feel the need to learn more about the game before hand. Good luck with the game development! I think it will be a real winner.
It's fine, it's their website can do what they want. Ifyou just want to support the starbound team that's fine too. No one is forcing you to buy it.Speaking of other kickstarter games, has anyone seen mighty no. 9 yet? It's being made by keiji Inafune(the guy who made the megaman franchise). This game was green lighted in 2 days! If you like his work you should check it out. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9
