Goodness it has been a while since I heard any news on this.

There is robots, plantpeople, and avians. Character creator. Also boobs.

There you go for news, unless you go poke around their forums.

Ohh I knew that for a very long time.

Oddly enough the Plant People look like Mantis people

[Sergius]

You know what this game needs? Robot beards.

[SalmonGod]

Robot boobs are supplementary power plants. Male robots have the power plant in their crotch, females on their chest. Its not a 'sex' really, there are just two standard chassis.

"This crotch of mine glows with an awesome power! Its irradiated emissions tells me to defeat you! Take this! My love, my sorrow, and all of my anger! SHINING! BURNING!"

Danger! Danger!  High Voltage!

Expanding on this, the gender select option shows a cable (for male) and a wall socket (for female). Obviously the breasts are extra batteries, and the... undercarriage is a cable to siphon energy from them.

[Matz05]

Probably its because pointy cables/etc. are termed "male" connectors and sockets are "female", for... obvious reasons.

Gets confusing with things that have pins in a sheath connecting to a socket with outside grounding...

[Evilsx]

This thread is getting weird fast.

Why the fuck do we have rocket boobs, siphoning energy with what may as well be a dick, and all sorts of innuendos going on?
...
Oh yeah, because bay12.

Because Starbound is going further and further into farce.

Which should have been obvious for anyone who has been watching this for a while. No not because of the tentacle world, though that should have been a hint, but rather the more silly aspects.

I am still waiting for the rocket launcher that shoots soda cans that explode. a Pop Rocket. Though I think I already saw it... but I may have been dreaming.

[chaoticag]

...Eh?

I don't think Starbound has ever taken itself super seriously, so how is it descending into farce when it offers two different appearance options based on mammalian genders? It's pretty much what they did with the florians anyway. We're not exactly expecting the ARMA of scifi here.

The plug/socket gender selector is the cleverest thing I've seen in this game so far. I want to see more stuff from whoever had that idea.

No, I mean... Starbound is taking itself completely unseriously.

Which is what I call "Farce." (This is where me and English professors disagree. I personally believe I should put the period outside the quotations, yet that is not how the english convention works)

Now if you take that as some sort of insult, whatever... I don't see why you would.

Its more the thread then the game - the game has not placed particularly strong focus on robotic/aquatic/plant breasts. I think everyone watching the game was well aware that it would not be taking itself seriously regardless.

But of course if you are going to be dreaming up extra silly stuff for the game, even if they are not part of the game, then it will seem more silly.

[chaoticag]

But the point was you did say it was going further and further into farce, not that it was a farce to begin with. The first thing I was pretty much exposed to was the marauding penguin mercinaries, so it seems odd to say it's taking itself more unseriously than from where it started. Tone seems to be pretty consistant so far.

[Chattox]

I don't get it. I assumed the boobs and whatnot were just for quick visual identification? When you see a person in the distance, how do you tell their gender? You check for boobs.
