Plus Terraria had to build hype and community from scratch.  Starbound gets to build on what Terraria already did there.

A friendly little birdie told me that the public may have it's first look at something playable around May21-28th if everything stays on track. That seems like good news!

I'm off to make a game set on a Cosmic Turtle, then. I'll reference Starbound as one of my main sources of inspiration, then go back in time and release it before Infiniminer was made to make a loop.

Don't be silly, once you hit turtle then it's turtles all the way down.

What a primitive belief you have there.
Obviously the cosmic turtle rests on HAMSTONE.

The cosmic turtle may rest on hamstone, true. But the hamstone rests on turtles. It really is turtles all the way down, but there are admittedly interstitial (in this case, ones empty of turtle if not necessarily other matter) layers before you hit maximal turtle dispersal.

I have a horrible feeling Starbound and Shadowrun are going to be competing for all my time.

IIRC, hemmingjay has admitted to being involved in the industry in a PR capacity. So he knows people.
