If servers doesnt use much ressource on computer, ill setup a few server and distributed them to who want it with password and all... but if it does use ressource... sadly i wont be able to do it, i have a crazy internet plan but my computer is starting to feel the weight of his age.

Listening to the soundtrack, I think that Europa is my favourite of all the songs.

I was confused for a second or two.

Wait, you call that pessimism?  I thought he was just being realistic

Think of it this way. Could you imagine me saying: "This game could suck, we don't know it could even be terrible"?

Quite easily, actually.

That's basically what you say about every game.

When the news post says that "almost every major feature is done" what does that mean in terms of some kind of playable release? Also, are there any relatively recent gameplay videos I could check out? It's been a while since I properly looked at this game

I feel ok with single player only for a while.
Party because every time these things come out, everybody rushes to be the every best, like no one ever was. To get the shiny red balloon is their test, nuking pirate stations is their cause. Sandboxes!
At least if we are in single player, you get to enjoy the exploration phase with a lot less competitive pressure. By the time multiplayer comes out, nobody cares how quickly you get some rare item, they have been there and done that. Instead it becomes a lot more about player interaction, working together for a common goal, instead of showing you can achieve your personal goal first, and I feel that is a much nicer environment.

Kinda agree with you there, however playing with a few close friends at release would be nice.

It means they now have to decide if they release a late alpha/early beta SP mode now or wait until Sep to release the full game beta. My contact told me last night that the internal vote was 7 to 3 in favor of releasing SP first but that it doesn't matter when the lead has VETO power. They are attending a Multiplay conference in late August, so there will have to at least be crude MP in place by then.

I still believe the week of July 29th is a great contender for a playable build for at least some people.

[miauw62]

They already have crude MP in, if the 15 July update is reliable.

[hemmingjay]

yes, they threw that together just to test out the game so far more than testing any MP functionality in general. They used a powerful server as a host and apparently they barely had any lag, which is a promising sign.

Dammit, I now want to see what each race's ship looks like.

Glitch's looks steampunk-y, Human's is... kinda futuristic (curved edges, silver, all that), Hylotl or what ever they are called have a fish-like ship, florans have one that looks covered in vines...

soon.....

I'm hoping the novakids have a space train, like in this pic:  http://playstarbound.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Novakid.png

[Darkmere]

They posted every race's ships a month or two ago, but I can't for the life of me remember where.
