Unironically, what went wrong?

thread ends here
this is the actual answer, everything else is wrong/shitposting

Unironically women.

Is it really? I thought they published quite a few indiegames

Its still bizarre to me how the just decided to shove that shitty story into it. They did it so late in development too; I wonder what their reasoning was.

Pulled a reverse NMS. Credits where credit is due. You have to be pretty talented in incompetence to do that.

the game had been pretty much abandoned by that point so my guess is they just shit out whatever they could so they could remove the early access tag and get one last cash injection before dropping it forever

Yet the instanced storyparts are still better content than the trash they call exploration and progression

>weapons
No craftable ammo types to experiment with. If a gun fired incendiary rounds, that's all it'd do. Terraria had a shit ton of ammo types that required different materials.
>Spaceships
Ships are just glorified container vessels. You can't make you spaceship block by block. None of the devs apparently saw how this feature could be a huge seller, especially in a game who has its roots in Minecraft. Not that it matters, despite some of the ships having visible guns there were no space battles at launch. The closes to it was when they added mechs and you could use them in short combat segments.
>Story
You are a member of their version of Starfleet and later revealed to be the chosen one. Also the villain is a human supremacist who aids a evil alien in destroying Earth which is as confusing as it sounds. You can not start as a Floran and join a Floran tribe who likes capturing people to eat them or be a Avian and serve the bird church. This is why the story being shoved in is shit.
>Planets
They serve as truck stops, nothing more. You land, gather resources and leave. Honestly I don't how you'd solve this issue since the core of the game is exploring the universe. If a planet doesn't have the resources I want then I won't bother.

I agree that the missions themselves are fun, but the writing and story progression outside of those sucks ass.

>You are a member of their version of Starfleet
Fuck this gay ass shit so much
I miss in the Beta when all the Races were racist as shit to eachother.

Remember when they wanted to give each race its own intro? They probably figured it was too much work and went the easy route via the creation of the Protectorate, which in order to work they had to make the aliens friendlier towards each other.

There was actually a time when several Starbound clones were in development but like the Minecraft clones before theme they all failed to deliver and eventually the fad faded.

The person who was doing the vast majority of all the lore was thrown out because Ty's girlfriend was a colossal bitch.
This mass removal coincides with the massive turnaround of "interns" who did the overwhelming majority of the work on the chance of getting a foot into "game development", not knowing that they would be used when convenient, then all their work more or less halted, and they get ghosted.
The problem Ty didn't take into consideration, people talk, and word very quickly got around that Starbound's dev team, isn't. So Ty very quickly put together whatever he had to make a "game" and threw it out the door.
Rumor is that the reason the entire bounty hunter thing took so long is that he had to go back, find, and beg the original programmer for help, because Starbound's code is complete spaghetti.
Ty was known from when he worked with Red on Terraria. It's part of the reason why one rumor is that Red did a chunk of Starbound's code himself, and Ty was little more than an Idea Guy.

>once i played i instantly lost interest
Similar. Something about the characters, something about the lack of freedom (at least in the beginning). It felt like I was forced to play it the way THEY wanted. With terraria it felt like an adventure, I can do whatever the fuck I want and be successful. Just build, just attack, just loot, just explore, and it all yielded great and fun results.

Starbound was like
"do this specific thing, and do it the way I want you to" and I was like "idk, maybe later" so I got stuckish. Then bored.

They cared too much about pushing propaganda and not enough about guns and alien babes

Tiy really shot this game in both it's feet.

except he didn't use a gun, he thinks guns are boring

Its like he felt forced to use a sci-fi theme because then people would call it a shameless Terraria copycat but still didn't commit to it regardless.
I remember when they said there'd be no magic but then they added staves which function the same.

>What games have you shipped? What context do you have to understand how much work it is to make a game?
lol no one's going to reveal what games they worked on on Any Forums
but the one dev team I observed was 1000 times more functional than what we saw from starbound
starbound's development should be considered a disgrace in game development and that's a high bar to meet
real devs set goals and work towards it with long term members and discuss it with a "professional" tone, starbound's dev comes off as a bunch of children playing pretend where they approached concerns about purposely gutting content with "I'M the game developer and I'M the one making the decisions >:(" just look at and base their decisions on factors outside of what's good for their game
the entire intern fiasco shows how little they cared about properly developing a game it's a surprise it got released at all with how dysfunctional the team was

also another user just posted the gun screencap which is another example of how immature they were with development

>starbound's dev comes off as a bunch of children playing pretend

They posted a pic of a puppy sleeping in a box next to a power outlet. Later pics showed a dog of the same name but it looked different. Anons deduced the original puppy is no more.

He just explained everything I hate about terraria. I just want to progress, not build a bunch of shitty arenas I’m never going to use again. Then I have to farm mobs for materials to make the boss summon which takes even more time to do. THEN you have to go looking for materials to create ammo which takes MORE time. Then you gotta create potions and not get your ass beat by super powered hard mode mobs.

I think the thing about planets is bigger than people give it credit for. The core of starbound is in your ship, which makes planets kind of disposable. I'm still not sure how you'd resolve this. You'd probably just have to lean into it.

Yeah I miss my bird, but I don't want to play starbound any more.

Nooo not the heck in pupperino good boy nooo

two solutions off the top of my head:
A) The game takes place in one star system.
B) Keep the vast universe but limited intractability with planets. Most gameplay is centered around giant spaceships and stations. Maybe asteroids.

Give me some good mods

It should be a game where it's one solar system with planets being biome equivalents
That way you also have the capacity to add new planets via mods and stuff easily, while making each planet have a purpose.

last time I tried playing this it ran like shit and it had no reason to

avians are zealot scum who deserve to be purged from the universe.

God I fucking HATE how energy for abilities, spells, AND ammunition have a shared pool
What kind of retard comes up with that

There’s no spells in starbound dumbass

There are the staves that cast spells

Don't worry, that's science.

I don't fucking care what it is stop making it share the pool with my movement abilities and ammo you hack-ass developers.
Everything you have in this game quickly ends up utterly worthless, it's like Cubeworld in space.

I've considered having the scope be limited to a single system. The issue is that unbounded exploration is kind of the whole point of space travel. When you work with limited scope like that, you just end up with "Sci-fi terraria", which is an interesting idea to be sure, but the space travel will sort of inevitably become vestigial.

Option B has the same issues with disposability, it just limits the types of environments you have access to.

My best idle idea so far is to have you essentially be an aggressive all-consuming space locust - You go to small planets and essentially strip-mine them for their resources. I even had this idea where you literally consume entire planets, essentially collapsing them in on themselves to create some kind of super-dense warp fuel.

I'm so exhausted from shooting my gun at forest animals

I used the word "essentially" three times in that last paragraph and now it's bugging the shit out of me

This is precisely why so many people flock to Frackin Universe. It's literally the answer to the game's primary problem, which is the comically empty structure and utterly barren base game content. Filling it with an obscene Calamity-esque dump of shit to do makes the game feel like it really should have been all along.

forum.weightgaming.com/t/starbound-mod-big-fatties/1649

A lot of people dismiss FU as 'content bloat' but I feel like that's what a game about exploring a vast universe needs, so much content you'll probably not experience it all, some of it great, some of it shit.

It's very bizarre that Starbound's biggest criticism is that it's a "sandbox" game you can clear vanilla in one single sitting because there's fucking NOTHING to do, but people shit on the mod that instead makes it an extremely rich and broad experience instead.

>tea & noms
what the fuck

Well, Terraria is confined to what best can be described as a island continent and people love that game so I don't see how a single star system with huge planets, moons and asteroids couldn't suffice. With static planetoids you can add proper dungeons and settlements to them to give them character. Not to mention you can have proper invasions. I'd also have the ship be a actual vehicle that can be built block by block. fuck it allow the player to make all variety of vehicles to traverse the system.

No reason to explore the current planet since the next progression planet will have white weapons that will beat the best weapon you could currently get. So much bloated collectables and garbage it makes terraria blush. Awful combat. Everything unique was cut during the initial release. Modders were just as autistic as Minecraft. Did I miss anything?

One of the original devs also left the team to make their onw game which didn't help. When he left there was no news about it. They only came forward when the fans started asking about it.

The problem is the endless planets, and the fact that they're sorted into strictly linear tiers. There's no reason to slowly master a world, learning where all of the good spots for farming are and building bases and cursing that one hole in your mine you keep forgetting to fix that you've died five times to. You just want to collect the resources and leave - there's always a "better" tier of planets right around the corner, and then you're at the endgame and there's no reason to start mastering a world when you're basically done.

Instead of going for the WOW INFINITE CONTENT route where you're constantly landing on and then forgetting about endless new planets, they should have focused on players *thoroughly* exploring a small stable of planets. Different types would have some different resources and rewards available, but crucially, they'd all have resources and rewards for the entire game's progression.

I'd totally fuck a floran.

Does sexbound work with that mod yet?

right off the bat, build your own ship incorporated into the game, make it so your primary hub (your ship) is a big focus, give the player access to a shipyard where they can either change their ship, or build their own, so a player could ride in a premade ship of their choice at the beginning while they design a huge ship they change over to in the ship yard

You can literally do that with starbound. The only issue is that structure/dungeon spawning goes by biome and then by chance of appearing, so chances are you'd either almost never see them or you'd see the same one repeatedly.
It's why many of the player-added planet mods are really cool the first time you land on one, then the next time you realize it's exactly the same just in a different layout. They create a few new biomes, only add a few structures with a high chance of appearing, then it's just copy pasted.

>You can literally do that with starbound
yes but what I meant was making it easier, more accessible, give it an even easier to use sdk and an ingame interface to edit, and control the parameters of something spawning
encourage community contribution as much as possible so that a large amount of player created content helps extend the game's lifespan. the only way you could fill a game with a world with infinite space is to fill it with infinite content

I don't see novakid on here. I can only assume there are no cons.

For me, all they needed (or need, because they technically haven't announced they're done developing yet, although updates are unlikely) was to make something akin to the Project Knightfall mod but with a vague story to string it together.
The base game's story is short and shitty, but exploration is fun, there's just zero reason to do it. Knightfall allows you to spend all your saved ores on OP armors and weapons which, by itself, is a bit pointless but still gives you something to work towards. If they added a story backing and maybe turned the absolutely pointless gas giants you couldn't land on into "you can't land on these until you have the god-tier endgame armor." Then the gas giant planets would just have very tough enemies/bosses on them which you can farm for things that essentially break the game and make it feel like minecraft creative mode. It would take minimal development and would give most players another half dozen hours of gameplay at least, and would likely hook tons more by actually allowing them to build easily instead of struggling with outdated/broken mods.

Pic was made before they were added to the game and I guess one con would that their insides are hot, though that depends on just how and if your in to that.

Lots of promises with no delivery and constantly relinquishing their ideas for a casual bitchy player base that just wanted anothet platform sergel furry rp
To cater to those idiots they removed heat, and racial specific abilities.
Combat is trash and they stole the block mechanic from Secrets of Grindia after the devs ignored Tiy asking if they needed a producer on Twitter.

The dev took in naïve noobies wanting to get their foot in the door for video game development. They'd help develop the game for free and then he'd get rid of them and acquire another. The consequence of this is that the code made by previous interns weren't understood by the new ones. This is why the game runs like shit.

I wonder if Stockholm syndrome can also effect non-humans.

On the bright side we get tons of seething moralfags to laugh at.

Didn't they not even properly credit them in the credits? like they used their reddit names instead of their actual names?

No, I'm pretty sure the mod dev is also making it incompatible with FU as well

There's Outworlder as a WIP that was kicked off by some of the former devs. Might be worth looking into, and there's a demo for it on steam for what they've got so far.

they wasted their kickstarter money on getting a london office and moving the dev team there because their overly diverse leftist team desire social status above all else. this is a common theme among small devs that are given a large cash windfall, they don't know what to do with it.

If you didn't know better you'd think they were a vanilla race because of how much content they had. Most mod races just add character models. He added clothes, guns, armor and settlements. They even have different character so some vanilla clothes don't look right on them. This made them extra special among other mod races. That said they're not even close to being what I'd call popular. You're more likely to bump into a protogen than a avali in VRChat.

While the Systems Alliance has a retarded name, it actually is pretty based at times. They're were the only galactic empire to get sick of the B*tarian scum and try to do something about them. Their was even a major politically party of "Humanity First" xenophobes that advocated increased militarism and isolationism that you could support.

Just a reminder that Starbound supports mods for Sex, Weight Gain and Vore.

Because they came out pretty quickly after the game first did and the level of quality the maker put into it made the games Vanilla races look lazy by comparison.

I still don't understand how this game in particular has so many degenerate mods like that.

Every popular game has degenerate mods it's just more noticeable when there is NOTHING good about the game left to actually talk about.
Skyrim alone dwarfs starbound in degenerate modding.

I liked the Galactic Republic from Star Wars. They're complete /fa/ as fuck and are all about being republic at a face value but will occupy and kill the shit out of you for attempting to become independant.

Funny feesh.

what would floran milk taste like? nut-based milk alternatives? fruit juice? tea?

Extra sweet from flower nectar, varying flavor based on the type of flower

It wanted to be Terraria in space without remembering what made Terraria good.
It had a lot of potential. The race identity was slick, the outpost hub was really cool, it was gonna have mechs, an upgradable ship with a crew, tons of biomes, bosses, you could do asteroid mining in earlier stages of the game, and all this neat stuff... and then it failed to make the core gameplay good. Weapons were boring where Terraria's were all unique-feeling and upgraded beyond just higher numbers. RNG Diablo loot should never be done outside of actual Diablo clones. Mining was boring because there was nothing underground besides ore and lava. The bosses were so much more lackluster. The story literally didn't need to exist but they put a shit one any anyway and slowed the progression for no reason. I could go on.
I wanted it to be good so badly. I didn't care how long development took, I just wanted it the features they promised to be more compelling. The only thing they did right was the sheer block variety they added for builds, but that in and of itself doesn't excuse the rest of the game. I haven't played mods but I don't think they can fix the game.

Like reminder that they once spent like 8 months of no updates and then when they finally showed off something it was because they spent those 8 months doing nothing but adding the 'Skyrails' from bioshock infinite because they thought it was the coolest shit ever.
and when people complained they eventually reused those rails to make 'elevators' pretending it was the original purpose but that has basically been the games entire development cycles of "this is cool we should add this" without even taking a moment to consider how it might affect the game or trying to make it fit in existing systems

So what would you do to instead make it a better game? The issue with your pointless statement is that it assumes there is literally no way to make it better or replace components to make something better. It is not the worst thing to ever exist, it's just a game with several major flaws.

Also, the design is just so fucking gay and lame.

You would have to get rid of the ship and multiple planets completely because it just doesn't work for a sandbox adventure game and never will, but at that point it's not Starbound anymore.

Why not?

Abandoned.
Should've gotten another year or two of dev time, but Chucklefish became a publisher (somehow) and dropped the project.
Everything still seems really half-baked, which is why modding it is so necessary.

No, just make the world finite.

I'd let her disarm me alright.

In Terraria you shape the world because you have to, it's the land your stuck with and you work with what you've got.
In a game with Infinite planets you have two options for progression that both result in the obvious question of why have Infinite planets at all.
Option A: you allow all progression to happen on one planet, this would give you an actual reason to set down and start a base on one world and focus on it, but then why go anywhere else if everything you could ever want is on that one world? Why even HAVE multiple planets at that point?

Option B: Progression is Tiered by Planet (Like how Starbound does it now) this inevitably results in you having to dump the planet your on for a new one eventually once you hit the next tier of progression so you have no real reason to set up shop on a world your going to end up abandoning in the future anyway.

Or just have it Terraria style where you know what elements to expect but they’re constructed in different ways each time

Now this is an actual good idea though I'd also keep the lovecraft entity story in there, just buried (literally) beneath the surface and being more of a treat to be discovered rather than the focal point of an unnecessary narrative.

Space eldritch shit really doesn't work without all those Dead Space elements to it. Even Terraria has the whole disgusting bloody Crimson in it.

I honestly think they intended for the game to have an advanced colony system at some point, the story with the whole "earth is fucked and humans couldn't build shit for colonies" deal would really play into that shit with a "rebuild humanity" rhetoric, building up a planet into one big human colony with a bunch of smaller proxy colonies funneling materials unique to certain planet types back to the main colony to fuel it's growth (also a build blueprint system to make building these colonies easier, maybe let you put the blueprints into an autobuilder at some point too). Add in some shit like maybe an academy that requires you to explore the remains of earth/failed colonies for historical documents and shit, a government that tasks you with bringing order to the prison colonies that fell apart after earth fell and trade/military missions that promote a ship combat system to defend from pirates/take down invaders. It provides a basically endless stream of content, brings in new systems to toy around with and gives you reasons to mess around with shit already there.

Why not just have different types of planets that have mutiple tiers of resources on them?

Even if it's a shitty game it still took effort to make, you try making a game that isn't just another shitty clone of a better game.

This.
Though it's interesting that Hello Games took the shit to heart and actually eventually knuckled down and made NMS into an okay-ish game for free.

It's weird thst NMS being quintessentially 3d Starbound had the opposite effect starting out shit but actually refined itself as it went on.

And specifically targeting Earth.
Always hate it when there's a universe full of 725089437259875 planets and races and whatever and the plot is always "lmoa anchent evel want deestry erth" and there's not usually much reason for it, unless they hamfist "the evil god of death fears the humans xd".
Should've had where there's a 1/10 chance or so that a planet you find is in the process of being destroyed, and there's a time limit before it's destroyed, but the planet is absolutely loaded with erchius fuel.
Maybe they'd even reduce the fuel you find on moons so you almost WANT to loot dying civilizations and subject yourself to the tension of oncoming doom on purpose, IDFK.

>keep the lovecraft story
Nah without the atmosphere and horror scenery like Dead Space it's just fucking gay. I'd rather something with technology going completely out of control or some completely hostile new race coming out of wild space.

name ur game fgt

If they really wanted to keep the plotpoint of Earth being destroyed instead of the retarded hentai tentacle monster it should have been completely self inflicted with the planet slowly dying after many technogical breakthroughs and industry creations causing lots of toxic contaminant immisions and heavy metal dumpage into the environment which makes the Ozone layer completely fucked, devestating mega weathers and it's rapidly dissipating with no way to fix it getting worse and worse that now the suns radiation can kill you. Eventually the atmosphere will be uninhabitable to any kind of natural life so Earth has to be abandoned.

Internet Historian has a good video cataloguing it and the development process of it, namely the clusterfuck nature probably stems from way too many things being promised or seen as a promise, and all of their post-launch time was spent fulfilling those promises and perceived promises after the game released unfinished

>Internet Historian
Is a faggot who always tries to sympathize with villains and see the good side in everything even when there isn't one. You don't need a 2 hour analysis to see how Starbound's failure is purely due to incompetence and selfishness of Chucklefuck.

Oh wait you were talking about NMS. Similar thing though.

i though avali were just the fleshy precursors to pr*t*gens

My system crashed, I lost my data!

NMS is still shit tho

A product of bitterness
Too unfocused

I think people are way too hard on the game and it actually does a lot of cool shit, but its biggest problems for me (compared to Terraria at least) is that it has no real sense of gameplay/world progression, you have no purpose to settle anywhere or become familiarized with the world, and even though I find the combat and movement to be much smoother it also ruins the challenge since you can easily just abuse the AI. It actually takes a long ass time to see all the different biomes and go around the map in Terraria so you get a sense of "adventure" but Starbound has you go to a planet, fly around it, find a little village of NPCs and maybe a "unique landmark" you've seen a couple times already.
I think the farming and cooking is pretty cool, being able to customize the ship is nice, the visuals were (emphasis on "were") a step up from Terraria, and there's plenty of great ideas implemented that make it unique (designing mechs, trading across star systems, quest, mounts, villages, etc) in its own right.
It does all that cool shit, but completely loses the feeling of "adventure" by putting you through the same cycles over and over again.

They are a way to revert the game back to the beta before the release ?

This would have been so much better. Although every planet should be procedurally generated in the same the Terraria's worlds are. Same biomes every time, but procedural terrain.

I didn't play it last year, but I think Any Forums still plays it every year around the holidays. If that's no longer happening, then any "culture" this site had is officially dead.

I wish there was a good game for designing ships like this where everything has utility. Empyrion is the only game that lets you set up things like indoor gardens and bedrooms and I can't stand working around the "grid" system it uses. I just wanna fullfill my dumb cowboy bebop fantasy, that's all man.

Haven't played it in years you dumb cunt. Can't even have a reasonable opinion without getting one of you retards frothing at the mouth.

garbage

Why do you keep making this thread?

Nice.

Now, I need to find the good version.

From here : starbounder.org/Version_history
It seems that Glad Giraffe is the best version or I am wrong and I should take Cheerful Giraffe ?

I found the last version before they nuke half the content.

Pretty spot on opinion. It's nice to see constructive criticism about the game that isn't just mindlessly shitting on it like most of Any Forums does.

Go be braindead somewhere else.

Nice, is it still possible to run multiplayer on it?

>each planet is properly designed instead of procedurally generated
Unironically, a terraria type of structure would work better. Same structures on the same same planets but in different places. Maybe some small procedurally generated elements that really just amount to colors for dirt, grass, trees, etc.

huh, didn't know you could do this. I'll have to try it later.

I pirated this game. Then I bought it. 2k hours and counting.
