Starbound [Winter Update!]

Is there a definitive price tag or a good estimate? And will this release in steam on first day?

They're aiming for $9.99~$14.99.

Not sure if it will be on Steam from launch.

Woot, Starbound getting some survival aspect (Toogleable), A food meter that depletes over 2 hours and a temperature system that varies with the condition of the planet and surroundings (Like for example being inside a shelter or near a campfire will keep you warm).

Yes they are also campfires where you can cook food and tents.

Also the Devs are disscussion of a pre-order plan of "Pay us now, and when the beta/game its ready you get to play it"

Explosion Demo!

They just put out a web character creator if anyone wants to play with it.

That's really neat! It also comfirms 2 more races: the fish and robot races.

I love how the Male Robot is a plug and the Female robot is a socket. That's just funny.

Also plants, fish, birds and robots with breasts. makes sense.

For the people that want some videos of the game in action!

That keeps getting awesome and awesome, wonder if someone here in SP its willing to set up a day 1 server to play

I'm still really loving the tree-cutting animation. Looks really good.

Their site may have been hacked, and the site's down for a bit. (source)

There's a huge information dump from the irc channel about the game and systems that they've put in place. Very interesting read.

The Starbound preorders will be coming around soon.
Basically, they'll be trying to get the preorders started tomorrow, and it'll be something of a kickstarter like kind of thing, with tiers and everything.
[spoiler=For people who don't feel like going though the link]<@Tiy> are you guys going to help me spread the word when the preorder goes live?
<@Tiy> make the earth shake with the power of our tweets
<@Tiy> I dont want to promise tomorrow, because if I do and then something happens to stall it
<@Tiy> everyone will murder me with rusty spoons
<@Tiy> we're TRYING for tomorrow though

=======

<@Tiy> Pixel tier - 1x copy of the full game, when its ready. 1x copy of the beta, when its ready, 1x starbound soundtrack, 1x experimental soundtrack (66 tracks total i believe)
<@Tiy> Pixel tier 4 pack - all of the above x4
<@Tiy> Silver tier, all of the above + a contributors penguin forum badge
<@Tiy> Silver tier 4 pack
<@Tiy> Gold Tier - all the above, the forum badge is tier 2, you get to name an NPC
<@Tiy> Diamond tier - all the above, tier 3 forum badge, you get to name an npc and your name goes in the credits
<@Tiy> Platinum Tier - all above, tier 4 forum badge, you get to name an npc, name goes in credits + you get to design a hat

<@Tiy> The high level tiers are pretty expensive, kickstarter style, theyre for people who really want to invest in us
<@Tiy> but I think the base price is good, $15 for the game + a 66 track soundtrack

<@Tiy> all of these will get you a steam key
<@Tiy> later on
<The_First_Gamer> So no using Steam money yet, Tiy?
<@Tiy> The_First_Gamer cant do steam money im afraid [/spoiler]

also sorry about doubleposting

SO EXCITE. I wonder if they'll have an estimated beta date tomorrow. :3

Apparently the preorder won't be on steam, and that royally sucks for me.

playstarbound.com/store

Preorders are finally available!!! I can't access the website. Must be because of the preorders going live.

Yay Preorders not on steam... pineapple me

Anyone trusty can get me one of the 15$ pre order and i pay with a steam game? Only currency i have :/

However...!

Q. Does my purchase include a steam key?

A. Yup! When the game appears on steam we'll send a steam key out to everyone that has purchased the game thus far.

As of right now: 941 Backers ( $25369 )
Holy

I'll do that again.

Yeh i know it includes a steam key, the problem with me lies that i only have Steam Wallet Funds to buy stuff, mostly because i don't have my own credit card and there is a stupid limit of 400$ a year for internet purchases and both the credit cards of my brother and father are maxed out :/

I hate my country so much at times, i so wish the opposition wins the stupid election this Sunday and see if this changes for the better.

[MENTION=6823]Polantaris[/MENTION]; i think i love you, no homo.

They have a paypal option!
-gasp-

Thanks Chucklefish <3
