Is there an estimate on when the next release will be coming?

[umiman]

Don't know about upcoming patches since no one knows, but here's an r/Starbound thread talking about the release date: http://www.reddit.com/r/starbound/comments/24p201/2_years/

Personally I think the devs have more or less given up on Starbound and left a skeleton crew in charge but what do I know.

i am starting an ad hoc hamatchi game, pm me if you wanna join. it's with a slightly edited serious mod pack, no madtulip's ship mod, yes custom races.
I can send a rar of the mod folder to anyone needing it too

EDIT: never mind on the custom races i guess

I think they learned their lesson. There will never be another estimate for anything, ever, except in vague nebulous terms, like "someday" and "post-release."

I think one of the devs mentioned *hoping* to have an update out by the end of this month (so, now). I'd go ahead and add 4-6 weeks to that just to be sure. Also, the next one's supposed to be pretty big, so expect bugs aplenty.

At least there seem to be updates on the main site pretty much daily. Seems like they are still working on it, just... more quietly I guess.

Just leaving this here:

That link just gives me a bunch of XML. Are you trying to link to the updates? Any update in particular you're trying to highlight?

[Darkmere]

It's an RSS feed of the main site updates; there's nothing in particular that stands out.

I honestly prefer to get SB news from reddit because CF are all pretty wretched about collating every bit of info onto their own site, and I have no interest in making a twitter account, FB account, reading their site, and sitting in their IRC channels.

RSS feeds are like... latest posts, and you can plug that URL in your mail browser I guess, or some other RSS client, and you'll get notices kinda like you do when You Got Mail whenever it's updated.

Ah, I thought I'd mentioned this here yesterday but it appears I did not. For those that don't follow updates, there was a preview of the ship AI avatars posted yesterday. Row 1 from L-R is human, apex, avian. Row 2 is floran, glitch, hylotl.

For some reason the glitch one is so outlandishly stupid (for those unwilling to follow links.. it's a horse with breasts) that it makes me irrationally angry. And I don't know why. Someone please tell me I'm not the only one. Please note this post is 100% serious, I'm not trying to be smarmy or deprecating towards anyone... but the image is so stupid it almost hurts.

[WillowLuman]

Yeah... I have no idea where they're going with that one.

[Dakorma]

Yeah... I have no idea where they're going with that one.

My bet, Nova Kids

[BlackFlyme]

The ship is your steed, in a sense?

That doesn't explain why it's only a horse from the neck up though.

[n9103]

Should be noted that they're still in the mock-up phase for the AI graphics.

[Frumple]

Well, every other improbable thing seems to have human-style breasts, soooo... seems to me they're just staying in-theme. And I guess it was... not quite funny, but something approaching it, back with the fish. And the robots. But now it's, maybe. Going too far?

But yeah, glitch being glitch maybe it's a reference to that horse-head dude meme... thing? I've seen it around a little.
