So their website is still down, apparently due to a hardware failure. Do you think that's what it is, or is it maybe down while they do something awesome to their site? One can dream

That cat you have for your avatar sure looks exited about it.

Since Starbound was announced both me and my avatar have been in a permanent state of excitement xD

Next time ask him what he DONT like, might be a better solution haha

Compared that for some people on this board the response to that would be: "Neonivek likes games? When did that happen?"

I don't think it occured to him that I don't hate everything.

I was honestly just curious.

Lil Bub is from space and is looking forward to Starbound so he can visit his homeworld again

A little birdie just told me there is an announcement coming very soon. When I tried to confirm it with official sources I got "Error establishing a database connection" errors on every page other than the landing page. My emails are also going unanswered at the moment.

Oooh rumours from small feathery creatures.

It seems the site is up again, with no changes from what I can see from just first glance. I wanted a release date, damnit!

[JanusTwoface]

Seems it may just have been hardware after all:

Yeah, my little birdie friend is still adamant that we are super close to a big announcement. The birdie told me they were upgrading servers in anticipation of testing a purchase/alpha backer system. Birdie now says instead of late march, looks like mid-late April.

I can't verify the information because Tiy won't confirm or deny.

Ack, I hope not.  I really prefer buying games when they are finished, but starbound is probably tempting enough that I might cave.

but starbound is probably tempting enough that I might cave.

Yes YES, give in to the dark side.

A second source say the best guess is beta playable in May(Tiy may choose not to public beta) and gold release in late July-early August. This source is more credible as it is a sibling of a team member, but it is apparent that even the team as a whole has no exact date in mind for any of it and instead are plowing through the work.

The Glitch is a neat concept for a playable-race. More interesting than the usual aliens and robots.

Oh hey, I remember this game. Didn't really follow much of the dev-ness and right now everything is down.
Still, looking at what I can find, it actually looks a lot like this is going to be an MMO where on sign up you get your own world, rather than just a local game that can be shared in the spirit of Terraria. I mean seriously, this coordinate system is either the dumbest gimmick ever to exist in a LAN, or an ingenious invite system to invite your friends to your online world.

Can anybody who knows what they are talking about confirm or deny?

Getting into that would be an epic Christmas Present...

Terraria got stale fast, I hope this game is better.

It also had a habit of erasing my multiplayer characters.
