[piecewise]

(( What I find most impressive is that it looks a lot like the glitch towns you find in-game. I don't suppose you ransacked one for that base, did you? ))

For some parts, specifically the roof tiles, bell and those armor stands and swords. The rest is plunder from the far reaches of the galaxy, straight up to Sector X, in search of platinum.

[Unholy_Pariah]

so how do i get this "starbound" game?
is it free to play? do i need to buy it off steam?

[SeriousConcentrate]

You have to buy it on Steam, pretty sure.

[Unholy_Pariah]

how big is the download?

[SeriousConcentrate]

I don't have Steam open and I don't have Starbound myself, but I heard 10 or 15, not sure which. One of the guys who bought it could tell you... but they're probably too busy playing it, I guess.

[Unholy_Pariah]

I know its 15 dollars, i just wanted to know the size of the download so that i can work out if ill be able to download it from someones house.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Fuck my reading comprehension today. For some reason I thought you asked how much it was. I must be more tired than I thought. @_@

Excuses aside, I dunno. Bigger than Terraria, probably, which is only like 63 MB according to the game folder. I would guess less than 150?

[Sean Mirrsen]

((It's actually 3 gigabytes installed, and a 1.3GB download.

The soundtrack alone is half a gig, what'd you expect?

Also, OOC.))

[SeriousConcentrate]

(...Damn. >.> Probably wrong about Terraria too, then, but I don't feel like booting up Steam right now...)

[Kriellya]

(( Yeah, it's pretty massive, Unholy. Took me about a half hour to download it on a cable connection, was actually quite surprised. I think it's all the elements for the procedural gen stuff. It has a lot of data, but it can gen so much more than just what it has.

And @SC, you're actually completely correct. Terraria is only 48 megs

And @PW, nice. I haven't made it out of Alpha sector yet, but it's finals week so I haven't really had play time XD ))

[So I've got Starbound...anyway: Lenglon, thanks so much for..taking care of Feyri. I'll probably be...coming back in a few (2?) days from now.]

[Sean Mirrsen]

((No, Terraria is tiny. It's got a basic soundtrack and tiny sprites. Starbound has lots of fairly large sprites in comparison, lots of procedural elements, and a humongous soundtrack.

Although part of that is really the Linux distributions packaged alongside. A gigabyte of data that Windows users don't rightly need.))

(( Really? *goes to poke around* Huh. I thought Steam would be smarter than that. Or is this more on the Dev's not properly labeling files as windows/linux/mac only? Cause I see that not only is there a linux version, there's a 64-bit linux, mac, and 32-bit windows ))

[Sean Mirrsen]

((Yeah, it's probably a side-effect of the somewhat rapid release of the beta.))

[PyroDesu]

((Good lord, how many of us here have it?

And more importantly: Should there be an Einsteinian Roulette server?))
