Ohhh I've seen people make it work.

Those folks aren't Joe Average then. They've got a flair for entertainment, storytelling, or pure charisma that makes anything they do fun to watch.


I mean, take Morgan Freeman. I'd totally watch that dude play Minecraft.

I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
Oh yeah. xD

Even though I normally dislike Seananners, I still like that one. That's how powerful Morgan Freeman is.

THE POWER OF FREEMAN COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF FREEMAN COMPELS YOU!

Ahem.

So, it's looking to be a release very Soon™ judging by the progress update from yesterday. It mostly seems to be tweaks and "continued work" which, from what I know of progress updates in general, tend to be "it's basically done" and "I guess there's some stuff to do but the big parts are out of the way." Good signs!

I'm at the point where Starbound is taking up a lot of my brain cycles at any given time. I think I have a problem  :-\
I love how the developers are managing to not spoil half the game even though they do daily updates though. I appreciate that they value everybody experiencing the game for the first time.

What I'm most exited about is that I can build something resembling modern architecture rather than a forced pseudo-medieval. I mean, railings! Wallpaper! Carpet! Television! And if I want, I can still make something medieval!

Do you think they might be holding back on a big announcement while they sort out the "leak"?

My guess is that they're saving any big news for the August Starbound Chronicle.

I'm willing to bet they dug too deeply and too greedily, and now their office is over run with tentacle demons. An embark might be required to hopefully salvage the embark, but nothing is certain. A few individuals have begun their own adventure mode with the hope of uncovering the ruins for themselves and bringing back the epic loots.


Or you know, they are just working on adding all those planned items and balancing them all out, nothing major to report on.

I think it's more likely that the game is a lot more "done" than they anticipated for right now, so they re pushing to wrap it up altogether before pushing it to us. I also think they are going to underestimate the amount of bugs/hardware incompatibility that the game will have.

At this point, I think, their news section is the equivalent of the boy holding back the disintegrating dam, while everybody else is manning the pumps pouring more water into the lake. They're trying their best to prevent too much content from spilling out, at the same time adding more and more content. This leaves their daily updates rather understandably dry.
