Unofficial Starbound Forums Update Thread

Sounds good
I wouldn't know what else to post here other then a news feed. There isn't much happening, is there? The new forum theme and the results of the contest are the only things that are happening on either forum. The rest is just waiting for more teasers...

 

Precisely. Due to my RL commitments, I try to keep em to larger updates.

Love your support and energy though - it will be critically important once teasers...and the game itself...come out.

My main goal was having this firmly established well in advance of such things.

Mission accomplished?

 

I hope so. This thread is stickied, so at least you don't have to worry about this thread to get lost in the new content we got a form of awareness right now, and though it's small, we've got something to live on when the real teasers come.

Oh, and thanks about the energy ;p

 

Seems to be a lot of new content coming through slowly the progress is probably more than they are letting on

 

Yes, though I think they were pretty far all along, they're just trying to make this game prrfect before they release it.

 

yeah u get one shot at realise if u dont do the open alpha-beta minecraft type of approach so expect some behind the scenes work the odd vague update focusing on wall papers and not to much else in the way of publicity all the work is going into the game of course once it hits beta or full realise then of course word of mouth should .... get it attention. thats the risk of not going with pre alpha beta is that the PR is instead of a continous shot its a one shot so they need to get the gmae perfect

 

Updated to at least reflect planned changes and the theme shift (now that it appears to be nearing a steady state for the time being). Had some time to get this up....and with the contest delayed a bit, I figured I'd get it done when i could.

Kudos to maple for lighting a fire under my.....

Cheers!

 

Nice designs but I kind of expect this game to die out before any of the user created content is added to the game.

This game is made by many of the same people who created Terraria and I expect that they will create lots of content and promise many updates and then quite the project after making a huge profit.

 

Erm... I don't think that one person qualifies as "Many of the same people". This is a completely different company. Would you mind researching before trying to stir up trouble in threads where it's not even relevant? Please?

 

Please call the dictionary-writers and tell them that the definition of "Many" has been redifined to "One" ;P
But, yeah, I'm not sure what the relevance is of that post either...

 

There is no relevance. Judge SB for what it is when it is launched. Even if the dev team were clones of the one from terraria, the same path would not be guaranteed.

Plus, user generated content is part of what makes a community fun....it doesn't have to physically be in the game to have that quality.

 

don't bother saying this sort of stuff, I've met loads of people like him, and it just bounces off their skull and forms a puddle of idiocy around them.

 

Just saying there's no need to revive this thread just to say that. Saying that doesn't work either, as next time, odds are he'll be going against someone like that again anyway. It's pretty much a vicious circle...

 

Indeed....now, if something newsworthy would just break over at SBF so that I could update the OP....

 

Is it really possible to revive a pinned thread?

 

Forgot it was stickied :/

I'm sorry, nevermind, but remember this if you ever see a not-pinned thread

 

Just thought to add that we now have a new forum style/theme/skin which is much cleanner and friendly than previous ones. Biggest benefit is that everyone has the choice to set their own background (starbound based or not).

Preview:

 

Was going to add this when I got back on my pc next week...but let me try to use Intras post to add it now.

....and done. Let me know if that needs any edits (it's the top entry)

 

That looks like a spiffy little theme. Maybe I'm just a fan of purple and pink, but it does kind of feel easy on the eyes. Obviously the ability to set your own background is a major, plus, too. It's interesting to see how the other community is doing, and great work keeping it maintained and such. o:

I'd be more active on it, but my time can be quite sparse as it is. Keep up the great work.

 

Yeah, it's really all due to Intra's proactivity and desire to gather feedback. Most of these changes are completely unnecessary...but man do they make things more smooth and customized.

Kinda like stuff you never knew you needed until you had it.

I just like how both communities are living side by side in advance of the game launch - that is where the true benefits of all of our work will be clear. I do hope for even more collaboration moving forward...
