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.

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!

Why is a planet so close to the sun so damn cold?

Anyway, I did end up discovering that after some time. I think that visually the information is misconveyed. Using a sun to represent warmth isn't as effective as, say, a thermometer. That meter actually screams "BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST" to me.

Anyway, this game is great so far.

Watched about two minutes of your LP KaBob, but I stopped because I want to experience this fresh when I get it :P

I love the character creation already.

This was me at character creation.

Wow, Kabob. How did you get a video out so fast? I haven't even started editing my (hopefully not corrupted) footage.

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

Or you could just watch the video on Youtube, HMM?

It doesn't take me too long to do videos, I spend 30 minutes recording and then 30 minutes watching it to check if it needs edited and then just however long it takes to upload to youtube and have them process it fully. The video could have been out 90 minutes earlier but I had to go to the store before I could upload it =p The way I do my recordings, I generally don't need to do any editing >:)

What about rendering? It usually takes me around 50 percent longer than the video itself to render it.

KaBob799 11 years ago

I don't have to render unless I have to edit but yeah it does take forever =p

bought it earlier this morning pretty cool game.

I could never really get into Terraria, but i'm enjoying this a lot more so far.

Though - I'm not entirely sure it's worth 15 bucks yet, but i am still doing the first few tutorial missions, haha.

Also - we really do need a server for this game.

Someone bought it for me.

I played it.

It's okay for what it is.
