Anyhow the delay for multiplayer doesn't bug me so long as it is because they have a lot to do with it.

Delayed multiplayer is far superior to halfhearted multiplayer.

If the Flowerpeople's space ship isn't a seed pod I am going to be very disappointed.

Anyway, I haven't been following this very closely but the spaceship I saw in that picture looked pretty small. Will you be able to improve and or build bigger ships?

[The Darkling Wolf]

I think they were contemplating letting you build stuff onto your ship similarly to how you build stuff in the world, but had not conclusively decided one way or the other.

[Skyrunner]

I hope they let us build on the ship. Customizing is rad.

[Frumple]

One of the update posts said they're able to already, if they feel like having it in the released game. Only major issue, from what I recall them saying, is aesthetic. The added on blocks look kinda' kludgey, in comparison to less freeform ships.

Yeah, the July 6th update.

There was a push after that to get some kind of "ship-builder's tileset) available that mimicked the default ship tiles. No idea if anything will come of it. Either way, you can upgrade the default ships a few times, adding modules the same basic size as the starter ship. There were 5 spare modules in total shown, all blank, attached in a > shape behind the beginner ship. You can build stuff inside the modules regardless, though I suspect there will be other functional stuff to fill the space with.

Thank you for the substantive time estimate updates hemmingjay. It's better than the griping about beta not being here/griping about the gripers that's been going on all over the forums, Reddit, and even here.

[Briggsy16]

They seem to be doing bug fixing now so I'm hoping that the Alpha/Beta is inc

[hemmingjay]

ALL of the major programming is done, except for some work on networking code. They have more than 500 content items that they want to add at some point. It looks VERY likely that we will HEAR about a date next Monday.


My poor wife. She's losing me to Starbound this summer and....... even worse is that Shadowrun will be my mistress when I get tired of colonizing space.

[jocan2003]

I dont know your wife, but mine is quite understanding on gaming, those wife's man we need to keep them hehe

Tell her you're bound for the stars if you go together

[Max White]

Tell her your home planet needs you. The fate of many rests in your webbed hands.

[Flying Dice]

Tell her that you will sing her the song of your people.

This quote from today's update made me laugh:

Monster health bars are in. They’re not totally finished, and right now every single monster in the game is called Waffles because we haven’t implemented the monster namegen.

And there's a screenshot showing poor Waffles #8472 getting bashed with a pole...hammer.

The thought of an entire universe populated by Waffleses is awesome.

And there's a screenshot Waffles showing poor Waffles #8472 getting bashed Waffled with a pole...hammer Waffles.
