Starbound BETA! (And Dark Souls for Cheap)

Hopefully.

Starbound beta release is looking to be around dec 4th. Assuming arrangements go through with steam.

Also, if people build awesome stuff during the beta that the devs like, it's possible you're build could be in the final game for other people to find! With your permission, of course.

Quote: Tiy
The beta contains tiers 1 - 3 for the most part, then tier X, which contains the rest of the armors/craftables/weapons, but all smooshed together in one unbalanced tier for messing around in.

The game isn't as complete as I'd like it to be for beta, but we're setting up a system where we can literally update it daily. So it should be a wild ride regardless.

Also, creations you share during beta may have a chance to make it into the final game as places other players can find.

I'm so excited! Are you?

You can pre-order Starbound here, and get access to the beta when it comes out.

Ze Trailer!

I preordered Starbound like an hour ago. I'd love to play with any of you all if a server is set up.

I liked Terraria, but it didn't keep me interested for long. Maybe Starbound will be different.

"animation quality is top-tier"

Tbh, a few of them look very stiff to me for some reason. Maybe it's the style or something.

Well, the sword swings are a good example here. Instead of pivoting overhead swipes, the sword in the trailer looks like it's being used to damage something :P

I'm on my work computer, and the game takes ages to get past the developer logo, and crashes as soon as I get on the planet.

I might have to wait until I get home, but hey, it's a beta. I didn't expect it to be perfect.

My game freezes momentarily after the developer logo and again when selecting a character. Other than that, it works just fine.

Oh, it also crashed when I exited the game after recording my first time playing.

Yeah, my game just closes entirely on character select. Doesn't freeze, it just closes with no errors.

EDIT: I was able to get it running using OpenGL mode, but now I have this little sun meter at the bottom of my screen that goes down and makes the game foggy as it gets lower, AND THEN I DIE.

What the hell is going on?!

edit: whoever implemented the youtube bbcode needs to add fullscreen support

Your char is freezing Kilin, try staying out of the rain and snow. Camp fires will warm you. There's a chance nighttime also makes you colder.
