It looks ok, nothing mindblowing. The only thing personally I don't like is monster death animation and delay. It looks clunky that monster just poofs after few second you killed it.

I hope the animations still have work to do in general. Like, the water spillage was straight out of Terraria, and it never looked that good there, either. Mining was noted in the stream as needing animation work, too.

I liked the part right at the end (all I saw), where he was going through the capes. There was both a rainbow cape and a cape that grew temporary flowers everywhere you walk (unfortunately Tiy said that was buggy and will be axed :( )

I like the cave-ins of things like sand - that bit in P5 of the stream video (I think it was) where the rock-thrower creature set off the giant landslide - awesome!  :D

Really looking forward to this now.  I've been keeping my own expectations as far down as I can (for greater enjoyment upon release), but they're starting to build up now.

I think the stream shows rather well why this game isn't in Beta yet.

The sheer number of things the person doing it needs to fudge for it to work is immense.

Well said chief. You basicly removed the word from my mouth XD

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

All these news and video streams are getting me all hype up, so I went and reinstalled Darkout. Not nearly the same, but at least it scratches that mine/build itch... graphics are more reminiscent of Creatures 2/3 than Terraria tho (and the fighting is crap).

They have truly done some brilliant work here and I can honestly say they are setting a new gaming standard. We will all be talking about Starbound for the rest of our gaming lives as a big point on the game industry timeline.

Wow, you're getting a little ahead of yourself there. I think you may need to take a step back and reevaluate your hype levels before you implode or something :P

Maybe he just thinks spending hours upon hours slowly digging rock is the definition of excitement.

It's also the definition of insanity. If he expects a different result when he digs up the rock every time.

Which is why Starbound is great, or at least better than Terraria: you can dig 3x3 areas!  :P

There'll be some sort of hype blackhole.

If such a place exists in-game, we can rest easy knowing that it will be serenaded by players heroically playing "Gagnam Style" nonstop on a sitar.

I'm about a trillion percent hyped for this. Which is impossible, but this is like Terraria if Terraria were on some sort of super steroids.

However, I'm almost certainly going to starve to death, just like all my dwarves...
