Starbound Beta Thread - Begins December 4th!

Okay I never heard of this game up until now, but I randomly saw a livestream on Twitch and this looks awesome.

Friendly reminder : If you buy it now, you'll get a BETA, meaning a game that is far from complete content wise, and that may be a glitch-fest.

You've been warned, again ! ;-)

So what race is everybody going?

But I'll definitely make some Glitches down the road.
 
Perfect, I'm in holidays and I have a cold. Perfect timing for not leaving my computer an play games - and I'm waiting so long for the release.
 
Have they already sent the keys?

I didn't receive any email as of now and my humble bundle page only shows links to the soundtrack.
 
Damn, that trailer sells it.

...this comparison between Terraria (which I never played) and Starbound is also very convincing

not yet, checked it some minutes ago and only the soundtrack is available. Maybe you have to wait the next 6+ hours for it.
 
Just picked it up, 15 bucks is an okay price and it's cool that the soundtrack is thrown in for free.

That soundtrack file is MASSIVE.

No I believe they said, that humble would send out the keys with the steam release. Which is still over 6 hours away.
 
Thanks for the answer guys. I hope there will be a lot of gaf rooms when the beta is up.

As far as I'm aware, there are no "rooms", its still pretty much like Terraria in terms of connecting to others in MP: someone hosts/starts a server, and has to provide the IP address, ports, and maybe password to connect.
 
Gaf server..I will streammmm itttt!

Taiwan representing! I watched many streams..bought beta while back..and know nothing of the game (besides some lite reading).

booyah!

The devs in the past didnt say they want to improve the Terraria mode for join multiplayer?

Only 4.5 more Hrs and the world as we know it will cease to exist!!! Hide yo kids Hide yo wives, bcs after release yo aint need no nagging to take yo time!!!
 
Since the latest patch with Terraria I never had issues...I could host..my friend in UK could host...friend in Singapore could host.

And we always connected in one go on first try...

I just realized..I am going to be SLEEPING WHEN ITS OUT..nooooooooooooooooo
 
Will there be a GAF server for this?

I'll be running a server, like I did for Terraria.

Well, they wanted to improve the netcode.
And they did mention something about using Steam to find rooms.

But from what I've heard in some of the recent streams, at least for right now, you need to know the IP address and info of the server you're connecting to. We'll see if what they mentioned before is also in, but for right now, assume its like Terraria.
 
Are we going to have a separate thread for server/game or do we just post our server/game info in this one ?

PM Retro, and he'll put the info in the OP.

Otherwise, you can post it in this thread as normal, but "quote to show" the info.
 
Im going with a female Hylotl. Ship style and the overall asian theme are just too good.

Same here except Male Hylotl, and I feel like we're in the minority on this, Yui. Every LPer I've seen so far has moused over the Hylotl and gone "Eww, gross." XD
 
Going to turn my computer on over lunch so I can remote download while at work lol.

Really hope early access still has the same 25% discount on the 4 pack.
 
Got a class tomorrow morning, but I may have to skip. After that, 4-day weekend! Hell yeah, Starbound 24/7 (until I get BD, then both 24/7)
 
Can somebody explain the multiplayer aspect of this? I have never player Terreria.

Do you always play on the same "server"? Is it like a MMO?
 
In for the beta.. Trying it out first on my Mac after I get out of work.

I haven't been waiting as long as most of you but the last 9 or so months have been crazy looking forward to this. Lol
 
So what race is everybody going?

I'm not sure, I don't like any of the available races.
Novakids are probably the weirdest but they aren't in for beta if I'm not mistaken.

Floran mayhaps, based solely on their look.
I made an autumn-themed one in the character generator and didn't looked too bad.
 
There isn't any racials persay...racial armour which you can obtain all other races via trading..


right?

If so..prob Floran.
