Anybody else thing it is strange that all the females of all species have thinner waists and breasts? I mean they had a chance to have all sorts of castes that are somewhat new and interesting beyond typical mammalian male and female...
Or are we just used to that from every other sci fi game ever?

In the case of glitch it makes sense, since they're supposed to be a simulation. So having the visible gender differences even if it actually means nothing makes sense. Everyone else? Well it means everyone can wear all the clothes in the game without unique sprites needed.

Besides. It's a pretty well known sci-fi trope anyway and Starbound isn't hard sci-fi in the slightest.

Heh, would've been funny if the bird creatures had males with bigger breasts.  I think in the wild the males sometimes have bigger breasts, fancier feathers, and more vidid colors.

Give males large peacock like tails.

God I hate it when people are practical about things.

Okay, that's enough of that. 

But yeah, sprite simplification aside, it honestly feels like they're poking fun at it.

Anthropomorphism. It's an anthropoid thing.


Do we have an ETA on the next update? I'm eager to dig into my fishman and chips, maybe have a slice of bird! I figure it will be fun to play an Avian based on the intro, wandering the stars in search of a purpose and striking down priests of all sorts wherever they rear their scaly heads.

I've read it as "if female creatures had females with bigger breasts" and was like wat.

All that's been said so far is they're aiming for tomorrow. That could mean like, tomorrow as in late monday or tomorrow as in the previously stated for updates 12 gmt time in a few hours.

Hemhem. This is the entire explanation I can give.

[BlackFlyme]

Looks like we'll be able to capture monsters in the next update, according to Tiy's twitter. There will also be baby monsters added.

I wonder if it will be possible to tame them in this update too. Probably not for a while, I think. Zoos will be fine for now, anyways.

Also, I can't find more boneboo. I already destroyed harvested all the surface vegetation on the planet I found it on.

Why do I suddenly have about 20 more tabs open... Well fuck.

I think it's a crying shame, but since the "races" are literally just minor appearance swaps, meh. Even the robot women have boobs.

One day I will be able to play a game where I get to be a giant female arachnid and grind exp by consuming my male partners... One day!

They're a simulation of what is essentially humans that got stuck in the medieval ages and can't progress. Of course they have boobs.

Found my first tech in a sandy cave, because there's where you find tech to dash forward via transforming into light briefly.

On the e-mail front, the support e-mail is just listed as "support" which inexplicibly makes me feel bad about using it for suggestions. I'll just post the various suggestions I've gotten onto the forums piecemeal (making sure none of them are repeats), with a note that most of the suggestions came from the B12 discussion topic, and they aren't mine explicitly. Now that I think about it, filtering out suggestions people have already suggested would probably reduce the list to a manageable level.

Just a heads up, kindly don't derail the topic about this! If you have a question or commentary on the matter that needs to be brought to my attention ,just message me. I feel bad about constantly derailing the topic with this.
