Starbound.


Albel

Recommended Posts

After playing one of the more hardcore games for 10 months now (EVE online) I realized there was a game I was looking forward last year. Starbound is game that is similar to terraria in how it looks and plays on the basic level. However it's differences will set apart as game with massive potential. The jhist of SB is simple. You have the ability to explore worlds in the games universe that are based on level. You create and survive on the planets you encounter. There are many different bioms that can be explored. 
 
I was looking forward to this game, but slowly I lost interest as the release of the beat kept on getting pushed back. it was finally released a few days ago and I just now got to it and I must say with what little I have done I am very impressed and am looking forward to the future.
 
If I am not mistaken the beta was $15 or at least the one I paid for. I got the soundtrack of the game and I must say it is wonderful. This is the first beta so the game does have it's issues but patches and updates are already being developed and will be out soon.
 
I believe the main site is down for maintenance but the main site is:

Also have this from PC gamer:

You nearly had me fooled, you fooler you

Euphonium/10.

Everyone with a goatee and glasses is Albel now.

Glad to see a topic is popping up about this game, it looks like a ton of fun! I'm probably gonna try it out during the week when I have free time

Seen a fair few YouTube personalities playing it and it looks like a great one

some things it definitely needs

 

- way to set your teleport point on a planet

- easier ways to log/bookmark specific planets, otherwise there's not much point in building things

- access to easier/better ranged weapons earlier on

- more underground stuff

- ship expansion

- better difficulty curve

 

also with that comparison, a lot of stuff in that video is flat out incorrect with starbound as it is currently and terraria as it is currently, so it's pretty pointless to link.

I think the tutorials need to be worked on. I was so confused when I first started, since they didn't explain how to do stuff very well, or what everything was for (pixels, how to cook, etc).

So a few patch updates. One on the 10th and the 11th.

 

12/10/2013

Changelog for v. Frustrated Koala  10/12/2013

 
Hi guys, so last night we pushed the major balance update. We’d tested it for hours and at the last
minute a bug crept in that broke crafted weapon damage, making them crazy overpowered.
 
Hence the name of this version.
 
We’ve decided NOT to wipe characters or worlds. This means if you already have overpowered items
or planets they will remain that way. We’d recommend starting a new character to assist with beta testing.
 
 
That’s been fixed. It was an interesting bug. The old leveling system used a “level” specified
in each swords configuration file. The new system no longer uses “level”, instead each sword is
hand balanced.  The bug that crept in at the last moment reenabled “level”.  Given that they are now unused, levels weren’t
changed from their previous values that went all the way up to level 100, and now that the game
is leveled up to 10, they were massively too powerful.
 
Also..
 
- Uranium, plutonium and solarium now work as fuels
- You can now REALLY craft a grappling hook
- Boss balance has been tightened even more
- Platinum armor is now unlocked on tier 5
- You can now ‘recapture’ pets
- some more fixes
 
 
More coming ASAP! It’ll take us a little while to balance everything just right, so please hang tight.
 
Patch for 12/11/2013
Re-posting, the build is actually live this time! Go update! :)
 

Changelog for v. Indignant Koala  12/11/2013

There are a whole bunch of improvements to balance here, particularly in the early game.
We aren’t wiping characters or worlds, but if you want to experience the proper balance
you should make a new character/worlds to play it on!
 
Also..
 
- Nerf the hell out of birds, they no longer attack you at long range, lower damage, don’t follow you forever.
- Monster projectiles across the board better balanced
- Shields better balanced
- Early armors better balanced
- Melee weapons better balanced
- Ores better balanced
-AI improvements
- you can now craft lanterns (similar to sixxes’ lantern mod!)
- you can now craft a new back armor to help light caves
- fixed the bubble gun crashing on mouse over
- improve grass ( Suggestion by Dracyoshi)
- You are now invincible on your ship (this requires a new character)
- You need to be hit a lot harder to get knocked back
- some UI updates
- Drills now destroy 3×3 blocks
- nerf fall damage
- You can now turn 10 unrefined wood into coal in the furnace
- New “melting” status effect on lava makes lava super dangerous (watch out)
- Other misc changes
 
 
As always, more coming your way soon!
 
 
 
My thoughts so far is that the game has great potential. Just hope it doesn't fall like terraria did. I was very confused in the beginning, but slowly got the hang of the game. They could do more to explain in the beginning to explain things. Hopfully that will be changed over times. Music and sound effect is amazing. I truly love the entire album. Combat is fun...but I found thatin the beginning was difficult especially if you would be new to this type of game.
 
Hope to see more patches so. I'll try and keep them updated here. Also found this video that explains the soundtrack. Great video.
