  • Story/Description:
    Quote:

    New game from a developer of Terraria.

    A story within a sandbox

    Starbound begins with you fleeing your homeworld in a space shuttle, just as it’s destroyed by an unknown enemy. With nothing to guide it, the escape pod shoots into space without direction, becoming hopelessly lost in a sea of stars. As luck would have it, the space shuttle makes contact with an abandoned space station and an adventure begins that will take you hurtling across the universe. Starbound contains both quests and story driven missions, buried inside its vast sandbox universe.

    The Space Station

    The space station in Starbound is sprawling and full of potential. Throughout your travels you’ll find ways to upgrade and repair it, restoring it to its former glory. You’ll need to find a crew, conduct research, catch rare creatures, and unlock its multitude of facilities. From a factory capable of producing mechs to labs where captured enemies can be studied and trained, the space station contains everything you need to explore the universe.

    Endless Planets to visit

    Planets in Starbound are entirely procedurally generated and filled to the brim with unique content. We went into the planet generation with one simple goal: no two planets should be the same. By procedurally generating even the smallest details, we’re doing just that. Not only is the terrain of the planet procedurally generated, but the weather, the gravity, the difficulty level, the plant life, the behaviour and appearance of alien creatures, and much more all contain random or procedurally generated elements.

Looks and sounds RIGHT up my alley! 2D side-scrolling RPG/Metroidvania? Yes please! Hopefully the emphasis isn't entirely on crafting this time, unlike Terraria.

I assume it's like Terraria, not a MMO.

According to the FAQ, it's very much like Terraria - server based with as few or as many players as you want.

I really like where this game is going, but the trailer only pans across a few screenshots. No gameplay footage so far, let's hope we get to see some soon.

Does anybody else have problems accessing their site? There seems to be an issue with DNS lookup because I get the error "Could not locate remote server".

It’s expected to be released towards the end of Summer 2012, but we’re willing to take the extra time to get things JUST right.

The game is VERY ambitious and the developers want to include a myriad of features. While this seems very exciting it could also drag out the development process and some of the features might not make it into the final game so I'll remain cautiously optimistic. Smile

How long was Terraria in development? Like 3-4 months or something, it was super fast.. Not sure when they started developing this, but yeah lots of more features than Terraria. Wouldnt mind if it took them 2 years to get it right Smile

Considering how well Terraria has done, I doubt they see any need for it.

Forest Biome

Quote:
The following is a demo of just a SMALL number of the forests the game can generate on the fly. Each forest appears on the same terrain type in this video (as we’re not ready to show those off just yet), but forests are capable of appearing across all different kinds of terrain.




And a few biomes screens

Hope this game will be more focused on devices than magick. Lost almost all interest in Terraria the moment it focused on potions Sad

Music, apparently (most of it unfinished). So far, not as memorable as Terraria, but I guess it will take form until release.

This can't come soon enough.
