Tiy kind of looks like Barney Calhoun (from Half-Life 2).

I didn't see the difference instantly.
Holy fuck. They look a LOT alike.

Tiy's day job is working security. He's not allowed to talk about it.

I dunno if anyone would agree, but this picture makes Tiy look like Mel Gibson in Mad Max, to me. I mean... after comparing pictures, I guess it's kinda stupid. There's only a slight resemblance, but it's what I thought of  at first before comparing.  xD

So they're saying they've got most of tier 2 sorted.

I'm not one to complain about releasing it but I really don't get why it hasn't been released yet now. It's an alpha/beta so people will expect bugs..

You clearly don't know the kind of people whom indies stumble into these days.

That's quite true I guess.

Damn you Minecraft!

I'm not even sure what "Tier 1" entails. Is it like... copper stuff in Terraria? Everything you could find in the dirt layer? Gear to handle difficulty 1 to 10 planets? The tutorial? How many tiers are there? They're apparently not all of equal length, maybe 2 is short. Plus, they're not done with "unique features that appear at Tier 2" so it's missing part of itself. i.e. incomplete.

The jerk in me says the "unique features that appear at Tier 2" that are missing would be like:

"We're upgrading this bicycle into a motorcycle. It's mostly complete, we're just not done with features that are motorcycle-specific, like the engine and gas tank and exhaust. But there's still two wheels and a seat, so those are out of the way."

... Okay it's probably not quite that bad.

People will complain no matter what. I think they're just going to finish the game and put it out as a beta for multiplayer testing for a couple months, then ship.

Unique features would be stuff like... The tier two boss.
EDIT: The stuff in the post below as well.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Unique features could be something like pets, vehicles, new kinds of monsters, ores, wiring, etc.

This, sorta'. They've stated that each tier will bring something to the table that expands the gameplay somehow, so it should be something fairly meaningful. Not just "more/bigger X" (though there'll be that, too), but "Something Tier-1 (>0) doesn't have at all". What that is, exactly, I don't think has been mentioned. Presumably more than just, say, being able to craft something for an accessory slot or something, but... I don't think we know anything specific about it yet, really.

As for number of tiers, I want to say they've gone on paper (so to speak) saying they're intending ten of 'em. Can't seem to find where they said that at th'moment, though, so it could just be my memory buggering up.

[GrayFox]

Some of it they maybe don't even wanna reveal. Stuff for us to find as surprises!
