True but i was reading some where that they announced Starbound a year ago orso? Guess the community said to them yes we will give you money to make the game. And i am happy i did this also. 45 dollars it is worth it seeing those test footage and the atmosphere that all captures me gives me a good feeling about this game.

Feel free to spread this around as that’s the entire purpose of why I made it.
I also have to give credit to the Reddit user Suasive for the inspiration otherwise I may have never done it.
Also, check out this thread for the single most comprehensive post about the game:

Amazing work. Should be in an OT or something. Deserves to be requoted in its unedited glory.

It would be on the store page if there was one, but it looks like they didn't add any more.
Curtis Schweitzer apparently live-streamed creating the NovaKid's theme. Someone was nice enough to grab the final version and toss it on Youtube.
Interestingly (or not, actually), it borrows some cues from "Desert Exploration 1" which is kinda awesome.
Also, that first youtube comment nails it;
Yeeeeeeeep...

Why is "Impervium" twice in that list?

Force-tri-um :lol
They are pretty much all "puns".
Solarium -> Solar
Aegisalt -> Aegis
Impervium -> Impervious
Eternium -> Eternal
Endurium -> Endurance
Immortium -> Immortal
Magnetium -> Magnet
Forcetrium -> Force (and triangular)
...thanks, I guess?
Useless I know but I don't have anything better to do at the moment.

That one stood out mostly because of the triforce that's actually one of the nodes art.
Ah, cheers - here's hoping they maybe add the details when/if it is met.
So far the goals are three for a very exciting three, for me!
Rhodium = Rho is a dev
Kyrenite = Kyren also a dev

B... but...

Also Obtanium is probably a joke on this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtainium
It's going to be a bitch to remember which one is each of Eternium, Impervium, Endurium and Inmortium, though.
As long as they aren't the same color, it should be fine.
Heard on Reddit that Tiy did another stream on Twitch. This time there's PVP. Skip to 9:25 unless you like listening to random people say whatever. Or just mute the sound since it's all random people saying whatever. Showed off dual-wielding too. Gun and sword, two shields
, gun and shield, two-handed weapons.

Those look gorgeous. And yeah, a little detail that goes a long way for immersion.

My god this game looks more amazing with every moment I see it
In one of the streams, Tiy uses a cheat, "Timewarp" to skip ahead. But it doesn't just skip, it fast forwards... and you can see the stars wheel overhead, rather than just move straight left or right, or remain stationary;
I'm wondering if the planets rise and set in the same way... I bet they do. It should look incredible. I wonder if they cast any reflective light either, like a giant gas planet like Neptune casting a blue hue over everything, ala Avatar;
Because that would be amazing... and we already know that there are huge gas planets from that first screencap. I wonder how much of the sky they can dominate, and if they actually get bigger if they're closer in orbit to you...
Fuck... can't wait for this game, all of the little details...

Yeah... "Funny"... more like "Fucking awesome orbital strike cannon"... By the way, I love GifCam.

Now that gun looks amazing. I also sort of get a Frieza vibe from the armor. :lol
You're not wrong, but Terraria (Relogic) and Starbound (Chucklefish) have only the thinnest connective threads... so cancelling one has no bearing on the other.
Different Devs.
Dammit, I've googled this multiple times. There's been a lot of confusion with people talking about that Edge of Space game and saying it was by the people that made Terraria and then other people saying, "No, you're thinking of Starbound." And I google "sequel to terraria" and all of the results were Starbound. And I saw that the name of the developer was different but the games looked so similar I thought they had just changed the name of the dev.
But no, I'm wrong. Argh. Well forgive my ignorance, then.
Oh god... not again. I will saracastically act faux angry now:
OKAY ONCE AGAIN. THIS GAME IS NOT FROM THE SAME DEVS THAT MADE TERRARIA.
HOWEVER, THE GAME (AND I BELIEVE, FOR THE ENTIRE DEV COMPANY) IS HEADED BY THE GUY WHO WAS THE ARTIST FOR TERRARIA (WHO ISN'T THE ARTIST NOW FOR TERRARIA, EVEN THOUGH NEW CONTENT IS COMING OUT FOR TERRARIA).
EVERY TIME SOMEONE MAKES THIS MISTAKE, THE UNIVERSE KILLS A KITTEN. SAVE THE KITTENS.
You're forgiven. Kitty still died though.
Well, if you want to go farther, the Dev making the Terraria port isn't ReLogic.
Ha, well I fail on all fronts, I suppose.
My point is: STARBOUND NEEDS TO BE ON VITA.
Also... Is there a date for beta access beyond just 2013?

Watching some of the latest streams, I hope enemy/alien combat tactics are as varied as their bodily makeups, because I'm seeing a whole lot of the "wildly run up to and hug the player" variety. The procedurally generated monster system is cool and everything, but if they're all just ultimately bumping into you with different sized hit boxes then it's gonna get old hat real quick.

TBH, Starbound needs to be on everything! 3ds/Wii U or bust!
If you're talking about the stream where Tiy was showing different weapons and how they fire, he explained later that when he is testing things with creatures he usually only activates ONE of the many behaviors they can have so he can see it this particular one works as intended.
