Y'all nerds getting way too worked up over a videogame.
Please tell me more about how horseheads ruin your deep, dramatic, poo monster space opera.

Also none of you are shareholders. What the christ made you think you were?

Could you try this post again when you've actually read and understood the thread, please?

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.

Which just went to remind me, again, of the idiotic avatars some of the mods are using.

poo monster space opera.

Thank you for conveniently bringing up another instance of Chucklefish deliberately antagonizing the community by first adding a poo monster, and when the inevitable backlash hit their response was... adding a BIGGER poo monster beyond the first. Because that's how listening to feedback works.

Also none of you are shareholders. What the christ made you think you were?
As was pointed out in the thread previously by Neonivek, the idea of funding media by kickstarters is specifically meant to reduce the risk of executive meddling and deliver the finished product that the devs want to make, and, this is important, the backers want to have made.

There may not be a legal obligation beyond delivering a finished, working product in these cases, but they have the moral obligation to listen to the feedback given by those who actually fund the project and their livelihood, especially after having promised to do so.

I'm more neutral on the matter, but it's stuff like this that irritates you:

It would be okay from a user, but this one of the mods, displaying a lack of class.  I'm not upset, as I feel that I got my money's worth out of starbound, but I won't support another of their games again.

Worst thing is, it's not just one of the mods, it's several; this makes the issue not an isolated case but endemic.
Again, I will point out that there are good, responsible mods on the forums, but the ones that aren't have equal power and are unrestrained about using it.

random desync that even happens in singleplayer

That's quite an achievement. First time I've heard of singleplayer desync. How did they even manage to do that?

One assumption is that it's trying to gen/load up chunks offscreen; Let's just say that the terrain generation isn't that well optimized, to the point that you can outrun terrain gen and get frozen in the air by jumping into ungenned chunks on mid-spec machines.
Mobs will happily attack you while you're stuck that way, tho, but you can jump out.

The weirdest thing is, you'd expect that to be processor lag, as the game hangs and loads the level, but no, players, NPCs and mobs do their own thing, no frame drops, next to this gaping rectangular chasm of unreality.
Except when they don't. So I don't even.


Edit: Admittedly, I'm pretty sure this did happen in Terraria too, but that was serverside exclusively iirc. I do remember this one time where I was happily hopping through what was thin air on my screen and constantly clipping through this one Blood crawler that, on another player's screen, was still chasing us down, utterly creeping him out.
And the issues with worm heads not dying on some players' clients, fighting them after the things had been killed.
So that game also had its fair share of problems, some of which might have been inherited.

Also Tiy made a Reddit post about why they chose not to announce anything about Bartwe's departure:
Quote
It's very unusual to make staff changes public, largely because it's a very personal matter for the people involved and as such we decided to allow Bartwe to announce it in his own time. Which he did.
They also purportedly signed on another 2 programmers and 2 artists unannounced. While I have no idea if not announcing staff changes is a common business thing, I think that when you're a (seemingly) small indie company, telling people one of your programmers left and you got another two to help pick up the slack sounds like a good idea to me.

(Disclaimer: I have next to no business sense and have barely been following Starbound since at least 2 years ago please don't shoot me)

It is, actually, standard industry practice to announce team changes extremely soon after they're made. For instance, when Blizz axed the dude that made Warlocks interesting and (arguabily too) powerful for running off at the mouth, the announcement was made immediately. Likewise, when the Halo composer got the axe, that was also made public extremely quickly.

Chucklefish just seem to like having control of information to an alarming degree.
Someone in the game industry here: that's not true at all. The only reason you ever publicize it is when A: the person is run out of town for raising a stink with the fanbase, or B: they do something irreplaceable or which would otherwise be noticed immediately by the fans. Lots of people come and go all the time in the game industry, and most of those comings and goings won't have any noticeable effect on the end product, and so aren't noted by the dev company. Despite the fact that this industry has pretty high turnover rates at a lot of companies, no one wants to be the first to admit that fact. It doesn't make them look good, and there's no really good reason to publicize it, so why bother?

Yeah, you could get people like [REDACTED] coming in this thread and voicing their "opinons".

Yeah. Some people. Keep this stuff at CF, thanks. Attempt to antagonize people who disagree there. It's one thing to disagree with reactions, it's another to hand wave them in favor of personal bias [for whatever reason there would be one].
