Weekly Update 11/15

My lust for beta is growing ridiculously powerful.
The drooling and face of awe is starting to make my girlfriend worry that I've had a stroke.

 

Anyone else thinking that the fact that the last 2 updates have been showing off the game and what it can do, means the beta must be close? so close.... so....close....................

 

You mean like the last however many, ticktack? People have been saying that since i49

 

It seems like the "weekly" updates don't really consist of more information then the daily ones (well, if you call every 2-3 days daily) did. I understand that the desire to have something is often greater then the ability to provide it, but with barley 2 months left in the year and a posted release of beta in 2013, we're still just getting "lot's of bugfixes" here and "lot's of bugfixes" there? I'm curious, if all the posts are to tell us how many more bug's you have fixed, what is it exactly you even envision beta being?

 

Beta is for helping the Devs find out of the way & obscure Bugs, not help them squash Bugs even a blind Coder could see & deal with themselves.

 

Axe, at the same time, the devs seem to be working on less-than-important content. Are mechs really something that Starbound NEEDS to have a playable beta? I'd assume not.

 

OMG this made me remember a certain meme. a screenshot of a subbed anime with horse saying "Your resistance only makes my ...." okay i'll stop there

 

Another great update! Huzzah!

P.S: A week or two ago, I would have thought that the following statement was silly, but now I feel inclined to say: You seriously have to update the Roadmap. It's ridiculously out of date.

 

Buisness as usual over at CF.
I cant stress enough how impressed I am that chucklefarts still might be able to meet their deadline at the last possible moment.
365 days in a year? better release it sometime in the last 40. That'll leave a good impression im sure.

 

The last time I've wanted a game this bad was when I saw the first Skyrim trailer, can't wait!

Let's not go down this road again...
I know your pain, but the struggle the first time wasn't worth it...

 

offs this is unbearable just release the beta already before everyones attention is pulled in other directions, and totally sick of the wait now, not asking for full game just a beta to test and mess around with, come on you guys ;o)

 

A Haiku for Starbound, By MikeRLantz

a sadness is here
a world so full of features
but void of players

 

Is it just me, or does it seem like the Starbound Team is putting more stuff into their Beta then most games have for Total Content?
Great Jorb, Starbound Team!

 

Hmm... last I remember, Omni said that the Beta was gonna be released with Tier Completion up to Tier 3... maybe Mechs are a third Tier thing...?

 

Then why wouldnt't they mentioning that relevant information instead of writing it up to suggest that this is just more senseless feature creep? they present the fluff like "Hey, we added stuff because LOL" instead of giving us actual progress or valued information such as that.
But, daily updates have always been that way really.

 

and explain to me, how is this moving backwards?
To me, add new stuff is moving forward, and I don't care about "(progress now + new stuff) / (total things to be done + new stuff)" < "progress now", if there is progress, it's moving forward.

My mistake, I thought you wanted to be my buddy since you quoted me at the first place.

 

Yup, its not only you. I feel like Starbound has more Content already in it than most games that get released for 60-70€ which is like ~94 Dollar. I wouldn't mind to pay this amount for this game, it would really be worth it.

I wonder how long it will take till someone discovered everything in Starbound afters it's release.

 

Considering most of it is procedurally generated, I would imagine a very long time.
