Hello Everyone,
It’s been a few weeks since we checked in…
CONTENT UPDATE
The bounty update has taken a little longer then we’d planned. We’ve decided to deploy some of the content we’ve been working on in a smaller patch.
This update will primarily be some fun things players can play with while we finish up 1.4. We’ll be able to share more in the next few weeks about what’s included and when to expect this new content.
Here’s a preview of a new themed furniture set!
WIKI FACELIFT
I’ve been working on the Starbound Wiki for a long time (it will be 5 years old in a few months). In that time it hasn’t really changed how it looks, and has needed a visual refresh for a while.
So I’ve updated the wiki’s default theme! Feel free to give feedback on the design, it’s a wiki after all so things can be changed to best meet what’s going to work for our players. It’s also a huge wiki – so if there’s a page that doesn’t work in the new format well please report it! I expect that there will be some areas with formatting issues which will shake out the next few weeks.
I’m sure there are players who have been using the wiki for years and don’t like the change. Sign up for an account, go to ‘preferences’, and under the ‘appearance’ tab select ‘MonoBook’. This will allow you to use the old theme – which is still fully intact, but is no longer the default and what non-logged in users see. But as long as you’re logged in you’ll see the old design.
STARBOUND ON XBOX
One more thing!!
We announced Starbound was coming to consoles a while ago, and the team at Blitworks have been doing really amazing work. We’ve been playing it on the Xbox in our office, and while a lot of things have needed adjustment to get it working just right for consoles, we’re very nearly there.
We need to clear a few more things through testing before we can confirm a date, but we should be able to make an announcement soon.
Here’s a preview of some UI changes which have been made for the console version.
Feel free to leave comments on the forums and stay tuned for more updates soon. Until next time!!

what kind of game is this

Terraria plus "a good" no mans sky = STARBOUND!!

Interesting, we also had an info about DayZ being a game preview exclusive to xbox, and of course PUBG launched as a game preview ex last year, Claybook this week, now this. Also, some older indies that skipped xbox initially had a release recently (like Ethan Carter, Soma, Mercenary Kings, Night in the Woods, and soon The Darkest Dungeon). All of this gives me hope that microsoft's finally catching up to sony in terms of indie support, and they won't give away another ,,free'' exclusive to sony that easy like they often did earlier this gen. Some of the gems are still missing because of it, you can't play hotline miami, transistor or talos principle on XO. But overall, seems like 3rd party support on XO is mostly fixed at this point, that was imo hurting the brand more than mediocore 1st party.

I think they have good indie support. Just look at the game store

microsoft did some cool things this gen with game preview and game pass. Im glad

I like this game a lot. Will buy to play with my kids when it releases.

I can't wait for controller support! I wish the PC version had it!
