In response to your spoiler, yes they are totally unprofessional and they do everything in a sort of juvenile haphazzard way. They ignore almost all professional advice to be honest it still works for them.

Heh, it's already driven away at least one customer in this thread, let alone new customers and blah blah all that shit I said. But if they say fuck it, I say fuck it.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Wouldn't matter so much if people didn't turn development into a spectator sport. 

1.  Discover there's a game that may be cool in the future.
2.  Go about life.
3.  Pop in once in a while to see if release is near.
4.  Go about life.
5.  See how game turned out after release and decide whether or not to buy.

Pretty easy way to avoid lots of drama.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

That's pretty much what I do. Bookmark the page or whatnot, and check back every few months to see the status of it.

Yup, ever since I closely followed Oblivion during it's development (well, my closely is really just posting on the official forums). Also "The Movies" which came out around the same time, that games like "The Sims: Movies" what with some annoying limitations and babblespeak.

I think we should declare civil war in the Starbound forums, they are quite literally killing eachother since the stream because one of the developers was nervous and accidentally said that they were in Pre-alpha when they re in Pre-beta, and you cant imagine how much hate that has created... And to think the community was one of the friendliest i have been at...

I am not worried and so far haven't seen any reason to doubt my pre-ordering of it, maybe except this little "quote":

"The entire team is supposedly VERY upset that one team member dropped the ball and didn't finish an important piece of code on time and a bunch of stuff now can't be shown off."

I don't know why, but it really rubs me the wrong way.

I dont know where you heard that, but its actually false.

From Hemmingjay who was directly told it by an SB team member. Do share your more reliable sources, if any.

I would love to hear that that was wrong! Remember, this bit was told to me by my less reliable connection who might has also been bitter about not being at i49. Then again, if true it would explain a lot of why they were so unprepared as to what they were showcasing.

Actually, they told they were unprepared because the hardware they were using wasnt totally compatible with Starbound, and was causing crashes.
And that was told in the stream chat by Ghostar and Sokina, two moderators of the official SB forums.

And didnt freeform say that you got that information from a dev member? The plot thickens!

Molly looks exactly like I expected her to look.

Nobody else does.

We already saw an Tiy photo long ago, so...
And Bartwe quite often during the streams.

Also Molly is really similar to her character.
