It's surprising to hear they're so close to done with the beta/alpha content, but considering they can knock out a whole feature or two in a day, it's not THAT shocking.

The most exciting part of last update was the music. I listened to the preorder OST several times. Hopefully they've got more stuff like that.

[Baneling]

As I understand it, the music stuff in last update was getting it to transition smoothly between tracks based on weather, time, battle, location etc. rather than actually adding more music.

[freeformschooler]

Oh. I took the

(we have so much music now!)

to mean they have more "now" than months ago

[Baneling]

I'm not entirely sure about it, but the way it was worded made it seem to me like they were just working on the transitions and where to play what and suchlike.

Bartwe just stopped coding Starbound and started streaming Hotline Miami. He's certainly not dying under a backlog of work.

Everyone needs a brain break at some point. Coding is mind numbing sometimes.

So replace it with mind-numbing violence and you're golden.

All the Starbound videos are sooooo boring...

Just trying to see videos of actual gameplay but they are always the slowest most boring aspects of gameplay.

There must be an exciting and interesting video of not just building things...

I imagine because it's still in Alpha, so there's not really much of a game at the moment. The minecraft dev vids aren't exactly exciting either.

Even today Minecraft videos aren't too exciting.

Re: the music comment

I think there was a comment on the soundtrack was that everything on the pre-order soundtrack would be in, along with some refinement and variations on the Experimental album maybe, and more symphonic stuff because that's what the main guy is good at. I agree with FFS though, it sounded like they were mainly writing about the transitions but excited because there were so many new tracks. I hope new stuff gets added to the downloadable OST post-release.

Creative games are hard to make entertaining videos with. Sure, people will watch them, but half the reason Minecraft took off was because people would put their gameplay videos up and then others would see the videos and want to play it. Watching Joe Average play with Legos isn't nearly as fun as playing with Legos yourself.

Ohhh I've seen people make it work.

FTFY ...

Those folks aren't Joe Average then. They've got a flair for entertainment, storytelling, or pure charisma that makes anything they do fun to watch.


I mean, take Morgan Freeman. I'd totally watch that dude play Minecraft.

"Oh, I just made a house. Isn't that special."

I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
