Is....is that a land shark?
Cat's in mechs and land sharks.....sweet.
Edit:Also, that thing hanging in the tree with ears as hands reminds me of a pokemon. I think there is one like that, maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Nice wallpaper, but all of us know damn well that any late game gear our characters are gonna be wielding, will probably involve firearms, and/or massive explosions. Not measly "meeeeeeeleeeeee" weapons.
Unless they somehow they add in a massive 2-handed sword that shoots chainsaws, and explodes in a bright, shimmering cascade of rainbows, puppies, and unicorns...
...followed by a 2nd explosion of fire, brimstone, blood, entrails, and flying body parts of puppies and unicorns.
Oh look at that... its time for my medication.

Wasn't a sprite after all, just another wallpaper;
Speak for yourself, by the end of Terraria I was still using a melee weapon. Saves ammo/energy.

Pfft I relied on my clockwork assault rifle with crystal bullets.
I want to play as a cat manning a robot suit. That would be the best.

I don't like seeing the word Monthly... This game's never coming out.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the newsletter is intended to be a regular thing, even after launch, to communicate news and information directly to players.
It shouldn't.
The game's only been in development for a year (GAF started talking about it Feb of last year). The videos that have been released show that they're pretty far along in development, its not like they have absolutely nothing to show for it.
I want them to take their bloody time. I'm willing to wait.
I don't want a game that's been rushed out, then followed by weekly "updates" that either fix stupid crap that should have been taken care of before release, or additional crap added to the game that will totally throw off the balance, or even break even more crap which will require a future update to fix. I already went through that godforsaken cycle with Terraria, and even though I was enthusiastic back then, all those updates are the sort of thing that I normally don't find acceptable at all when it comes to games in general, and I have no fucking idea why I gave it a pass. We live in a gaming world where updates are the norm, making us the unpaid guinea pigs, testing games for developers, for games we already paid for. I don't want that. I want a complete game, dammit.
Chucklefish devs, in case you're reading this, take your time. Don't take as much time to make the game into the next Duke Nuke'em, we don't want THAT. But don't rush yourselves. I am willing to throw so much money at you guys, I will probably buy the game a couple of times and just gift it to random people just to support you guys. I want this game to blow Terraria out of water, leaving a still smoking, smoldering, twitching, bloodied corpse gasping its last breath, asking for the gods to give it peace, but it won't get it, because I'll be dancing all over that corpse with my new love, Starbound.
Give me THAT game.
I can wait.

Fuck yes. Had a blast streaming my game to some friends.
I know its not the first, off the top of my head.
Pretty sure there's an FPS that allows it, or its an upcoming FPS that has the feature also.

The Showdown Effect beta can be streamed over twitch in-game. Seems like a very smart way for more niche games to help get more exposure.
So far: Planetside 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, The Showdown Effect (not yet released) and EA Origin. There's plenty more to come, but I was pretty excited to see that tweet this morning. Had no idea it was even a possibility.

A level 3 spaceship via IRC.
TIY also said in the IRC that all the races have their own ships but the others just aren't put in the game yet. They said they could show the art but it would look ugly because it would be "Unlit".
Someone asked if the level of the ship progresses with the threat level of the planets. TIY said "sort of, but there isn't 10 levels" to the ship.
Also sounds like we will have more modern funiture in the game as well. He mentioned he had a sofa and tv and blinds on one of the levels.

Yeah, it's neat, I doubt I would notice these games except for Starbound. This looks interesting.
Which reminds me, I bought Wanderlust on a Steam sale and need to dive into that.

Geez talk about saving the best for last, one of these with a glide suit will make a nice melee character.
I don't think we've seen the Hylotl described in an official capacity, but they're the last race named, at least.
Fixed that for ya.
I think now that all of the races have been revealed (though not outlined in detail) we might be getting closer. But probably not any time soon. I'm thinking autumn at this point, and if it's any early I'll be happily surprised.
Same, I'll be happy to get it by autumn, but sort of expect it right before the new year. The snippets that have been shown make it hard to keep my expectations in check, I'm going to need to set aside a ton of time for this game once it's released!

True, so maybe best for second last. No way fish people are beating medieval robots, and that illustration gives me serious DQ vibes
I dunno, man.... they're samurai fish.

Really interested in seeing what kind of weapon mods they come up with. Guessing there will be a wide variety if they've been working on them all month and they already told there will at least be 5-6.
The fan letters were kind of dumb, and the last panel of the comic was cruel. They know they're teasing us.
