The pressurized water they have in the demos makes me think they're probably planning on making a way to get the water pressurized like that in-game. Whether that's something player-accessible like pumps or machines of some sort or whether it's only accessible to the dungeonmaster-style role is another issue I guess.

I think I'm most pleased by the idea of water not killing the server, though. Also the possibility of making an actual fountain. That would be neat.

Ah, I want this game so much. Terraria plus space travel = amazingness.

Easily amused chimps that piss in excitement at wall graffiti.

I would like to say that this is the BEST thing I have read all day.

Also yes, Starbound water looks very pretty too. Is this their first actual demo of something besides walking around?

No, they demo'd the lighting system too.

I strongly suggest subscribing to their channel and go see what they uploaded. This way you wont miss anything.

Looks like fun, posting to watch.

Hopefully they will not make this game Steam-only like they did with Terraria...which is unlikely.

You can't use steam?

[miauw62]

I hope they will *at least* make it steam-compatible, aka, works properly with the steam overlay as a non-steam game, so i can play fullscreen without having to press the start menu key every 5 seconds to reply to friends.

Kind of...At least for the time being. Didn't think Steam is portable, and my own computer is unavailable for the foreseeable future.
 
A few USB portable drives are all I currently have, which presents no problem for things like Dwarf Fortress and a lot of Humble Bundles and GOGs, but not Steam as far as I know.

I... doubt starbound itself would work as a portable application regardless of its steam dependency.

[Frumple]

It might. Depends on dependencies and how large the flash drive is. Also might have to tweak some things or pick up a crack or something, but I'm pretty sure you could run Terraria off a flash if you really felt like it (maybe. Not sure how net or whatever reacts to being mobile) so I'm not sure what would be stopping Starbound from doing the same thing.

Wait why? I'd be really impressed if it didn't work as a portable application. What does it need that wouldn't?

[ggamer]

I believe in this game because I thought the idea of Terraria was ridiculous, and then it was released, so why not believe in Starbound?

The only downside of this game is that development on Terraria has ceased. It's going to be hard dealing with not getting new enemies and shit added to the game.

Hell, you could even say that active development adds a level of replayability to a game.

E: You know, now that I think about it I've had more fun with games in active development (Terraria pre-release, DF, Minecraft) than I have with complete games.

Also, I think I liked Terraria more because when the game was announced, a large majority of the game had already been completed by the time they started marketing it.

Furthermore, I lost a little respect for the Terraria devs when I found out that they were caught paying people to create seemingly-original threads and strong-arming youtube officials into deleting negative reviews of Terraria.

Wait, seriously? That's impressive. Do you have any articles or other forums posts on this?

But anyway, I figured there had to be some reason for all the drama. Blue, former Terraria... something, decided to quit the Starbound community entirely because he was getting all kinds of hate directed towards him in private.

[ggamer]

wait, that affected Blue?

Hooooly shit, he's one of the main devs, along with Redigit.

Damn dude, that sucks. anyway, I'll look around for an article.
