Random monster kinda' interesting, though. Curious as to how (if?) it attacks...

I think you dont wana know...

Looks good.

But...Are anyone else reminded of some early Maxis sims by these sorts of pastepatchwork critters?

[coolio678]

i bought terraria during the steam sale, and i might have to buy this once its released.

Is this going somewhere? Is it even possible to tell?

It's going somewhere (check their Twitter and occasional forum/main page updates), but news is incredibly slow. Who knows when it'll be done

Especially since they are starting to seriously come out with their sales pitch (1 mil creature combinations for example)

Generally speaking you don't start using sales pitch, however misleading it can be, until your ready to show something, unless it is just engine but Starbound doesn't really have a lot of Engine Candy.

[Shadowlord]

That sounds like Borderlands's/Borderlands 2's sales pitch about guns.

[Frumple]

They've got the random guns, too! Or something very much like 'em, anyway. The ridiculous number of rocket launcher permutations, just as a start, have been stated repeatedly, heh. It's possible borderlands will be beat, at least if they're not overstating things.

Random critters were mentioned as a planned feature like... months ago, iirc. That thing's apparently just the first public image of one. If it's consistent with the quality of sprite (and the attack fits it, somehow), then they've probably managed something fairly impressive as far as procedural generation goes, at least comparatively -- it's not a trick many game designers have managed particularly elegantly in the past, heh. Now, how well it turns out from a gameplay perspective... we'll see

Still. Interested in seeing how it turns out, yesh.

Wanderlust rebirth was released on steam.
i now have 4pack - who wants a copy?

[Baneling]

I'll take one, if it's going.

[beefy]

I would love to if you have a spare one...

I would love to if you have a spare one...

sure, you can have my last one - just add me on steam's friendlist.

[Baneling]

Okay I really, REALLY hope Wanderlust isn't anything close to a representation of the team's quality of work because that was pretty terrible. I played a little bit and I had no idea what I was doing, the gamepad controls didn't work or make any sense, the customization was nonexistant and the first taste of "combat" outside of the short tutorial(which doesn't explain how to use the elementalist's main mechanic) was basically sitting and letting my three AI helpers kill things as they walked towards us.

Hopefully Starbound will actually have something approaching quality because that was just bad.
