Some good news coming tomorrow. No, not THAT good, but good nevertheless.

Haha. Psyche!

I kind of expect beta to be late August or September, and the game to be October or November at this point. I'm still looking forward to it, but my enthusiasm has cooled quite a bit, regardless.

* Frumple stares at the June 30th update in mild befuddlement.

I... I can't say I'm complaining, but. Left field. Left field from beyond the stars. Also good gods the potential for annoyance.

E: Was... was that the good news you were talking about, Hemmingjay? Trumpets?

[Girlinhat]

It's the sunday work.  He's just fooling around with ideas, so don't totally expect it.  And expect to see a mute option when you right click someone if it does get in.  Or expect that to be the first thing anyone ever mods in.

mute option

My god, no kidding. Like I needed another excuse to be anti-social, but yeah having every public server full of asshats with random noise spammed at you...

Lots of features is great. Feature creep, however, is generally not.

yeah... and i dont see where they are feature creeping right now.

My response was only referring to your earlier comment:

you call it "feature creep" i call it "adding a ton of content"... its the same anyways, just with a different thought behind it.

To clarify what feature creep, why it is bad, and why it is not "the same anyways, just with a different thought behind it" in the context of Starbound.

It was not meant to assert that starbound is suffering from feature creep. If you dont think that it is, then thats fine.

*looks up june 30th update*

My, this could be fun.

[Maldevious]

Hmm... That may be the first thing I've seen that I would prefer not be in the game.

What? WHAT!?!

Just doesn't seem all that relevant to the central theme of the game (exploration, gear crafting, space). I wouldn't want an instrument and music system in Madden or Call of Duty, either.

[Skyrunner]

When is this coming out? O_o
Also, the music feature reminds me of Mabinogi and its Simple Music Markup Language. I'm all for a music system. It adds a little touch that's nice in a multiplayer environment. O.o

No I mean what feature?

[Maldevious]

From the June 30th update on playstarbound.com:

"It’s an entire in game music system!

You’ll be able to craft musical instruments including a trumpet, violin, guitar, piano and drum. Once you’ve got one of these instruments you’ll be able to hit various keyboard keys to play different notes. But more interestingly the instruments are able to read abc notation. Which you can read about here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_notation"

There is a video in the update.

My bad, I'm in a pretty terrible mood already and went into rage mode. I shouldn't be allowed near the keyboard at times like this, sorry xD

Every developer can use his Sunday free time to mess around or try out any idea he has.
