For a moment I thought you were talking about EVO; but then I remembered it was Spore that was what didn't live up to it's full potential. EVO was likely FAR better, too. (i've heard good thi- MYSTERIOUS TIME STREAM EVOLVES YOU)
Oh, I thought they were still talking about how that one thing looks like a Pokemon.

(i've heard good thi- MYSTERIOUS TIME STREAM EVOLVES YOU)[/QUOTE] EVO was neat towards the beginning of the game but the further you get, the less you can actually choose what traits to evolve. Especially once you become man which is quite likely the most useless creature in the entire game.
I hope there's an alien creature that eats player structures, or at least metal.
tribbles
I hope we're able to at least not only explore and go around but build good homesteads too. Even though you have a space-station.

maybe atleast have some safe zones for some planets, like desert planet might have an oasis, with a village near it. but some like a highly volcanic planet would be unsafe and have no safe zone.
Legris does some amazing art. (Spriter for Starbound) [url]http://legrisoui.deviantart.com/[/url] [img]http://www.deviantart.com/download/288892766/diver_by_legrisoui-d4rzz32.png[/img]
Blowout soon, fellow stalker. But seriously, I'd prefer he did art for the game rather than these wallpapers, so it could be finished sooner.
Well there is like 2 other spriters and i wasn't including Tiy; from what i can find out he does these things in a livestream that usually lasts about 2 hours.

They are creating backgrounds and shit because they have nothing else to do. Coding the game is what takes a while.

The white health thing is interesting.
Sounds like Fighting games health system.
[QUOTE=DJswitch;35068766]A true artist takes his time to make works of art and not rush it through and make the game look like utter shit.[/QUOTE] A true artist works at their own pace without rushing nor without taking more time than necessary. If he works at his own pace and is still lacking spriting work to be done you shouldn't just assume that he's rushing. That's stupid. Taking longer isn't likely to make things look any better.

you guys do realize that concept artists do not necessarily sprite at all, right? And, it's concept art that these backgrounds are. They're made by Fetalstar, who is a dedicated concept artist for the team.

I should've read the thread properly, that pic is on this page, even. Although to be honest, isn't Legris' speed-drawing/streaming things pretty much done on his spare time, in which case the time wouldn't be used to make sprites for the game anyway?

Dinosaurs with RPG's? Instant buy.
I sure hope thats [I]exactly[/I] what the NPCs are like
surely they are peaceful! they'd rather have it and not use it than not have it when they want to shoot your face off.
That should definitely be the player. I don't know about you guys, but I know I'd like to play as a bazooka-toting segway-riding velociraptor.
[QUOTE=gazzy_GUI;35069335]Sounds like Fighting games health system.[/QUOTE] Indeed; it's like recovery, whereby if you avoid being hit you can recover some of the lost health. Interesting kind of health regen, IMO. But one thing i'm hoping is that they have "special abilities", possibly item-based. but I guess we'll find out about that in the next blog posts.
i wanna be able to construct sentries for defense.
