The faint sun with the god rays in the background is a nice touch.

A Glitch starter ship (without any modifications)
Has there been any mention of random special events? Kinda like the blood moon from Terraria? Loved that and wished there were more.
From Twitter:
i thought the glitch are medieval knights inspired? whatever, fuckin steampunk spaceships are awesome. hope the later ships are different between races, would be lame if they all had the same basic layout with race specific details.
Really psyched for the Starkids. Hopefully their architecture isn't too cheesy.
Hnnnnnnnng.
Does this mean beta will be soon?
No idea. A trailer is a logical step on the road to a beta though. Tiy mentioned updating the roadmap soon, as it hadn't been done in a while... maybe we'll get more clues there.
Even with the roadmap, we have no real indication of when beta or release will happen, other than sometime this year.Can we expect the beta to start late may or during E3? That would be awesome.
Well looks like Chucklefish may be going to E3 if eligible. Hopefully this doesn't mean a delay of the Beta

I'm hoping there isn't one. Whatever they're thinking about adding for release they can just push back to post launch. Get the damn game out already!50k more to go i want to see what the next goal is
Yeah I saw this the other day and I don't think they should go. It's not that they don't deserve it, but considering their team is REALLY small, sending what could amount to 1/3rd or half of their team isn't the best idea. Since they're not a big studio they can't send a couple guys to represent them while the rest of the studio keeps on working like nothing happened. Sending a couple guys is the majority of their studio. I don't even know if going to trade shows like that really even does anything for small studios. I hope that by E3 they have a trailer and Beta out so they'd actually have something for people to play and watch otherwise why go?
Devil's advocate!
Its not like they've DECIDED to go. They've been nominated. They don't even know if they're even eligible for that nomination (even though they're currently winning).
Besides, free pass to E3, free airfare and hotel accommodations, and possible guaranteed game journo coverage? That's free advertising, free hype, and a chance to mingle with other devs... possibly make even more deals with other devs for character cameos in Starbound... maybe talk to Sony, Nintendo, or MS in a more direct manner... headhunting and recruiting some more people to the team...
And the drawback is what? Delay the game for a week? It's not like E3 is a few months long. If they win, they'd be insane NOT to accept.
Unless it's an early beta access date.I'm hoping there isn't one. Whatever they're thinking about adding for release they can just push back to post launch. Get the damn game out already!
So weird that in 2013 my most anticipated game is a 16-bit looking sidescroller.
And that I'd drop $45 on it.
Well it is more then a sidescroller,but yeah i am also excited to play this and has more value over a bunch of triple a games on the horizon to be honest.

Something like that. Their two programmers were also holding day jobs on top of working on Starbound. I would think that's no longer the case by this point. They seem willing to contract or hire out for bonus launch content, but I don't know if they ever planned to do the same just to get the game out faster. Not sure if that would be a good business decision or not.irrc, they mentioned that the more funding they get the sooner the game will be coming?
I dunno, I sort of feel like small things like that and starter pets won't improve the game much (starter pets being redundant when the game already has combat pets and community designs being something people will mod in anyways) and will only serve to stall their fund raising. I'd prefer some mid tier goal with a post launch ETA or some ridiculous amount of money to unlock just to see them keep the momentum going for a while longer.I really would like it to just be something simple like "Community designs and votes on some Hats/Weapons!" thing.
I'm in. Hopefully the beta is soooooooon.
You can do that you know. For a four pack even.
If they say it's coming out next month I'll order instantly.They indicated that but not sure what soon means considering the game will be out this year.
I hope they just say here it is or coming in a few days so we won't have to keep ourselves in suspense.
Next stretch goal will be Starbound 2.5k left before the pets stretch goal.
Next one, beta released at 1,250k?
Next stretch goal will be Starbound 2.
We’ve officially sold $1,000,000 in pre-orders! Words can’t even express how grateful and overwhelmed we are by all the support you’ve shown us– not just over the past couple of weeks, but for the past year or so since Starbound was officially announced. You’re all amazing, and we’re going to continue to work our butts off to make Starbound an awesome game for you.
Wow amazing to see this. I know this is nothing to compare to kickstarter well a little bit but i am happy for those guys to finally make the game fulltime instead on and off doing a second job next to it. GOTY2013 for me for sure.
