[QUOTE=Xilo;35695566]nice, i was thinking once my museum map is done i'd try the monster hunter mod.[/QUOTE] Monster Hunter mod WHAT. i loved monster hunter tri, WHAT IS THIS MOD.
if i can find the mod again i'll link it, otherwise i think i might have spotted it on the terraria forums.

(The misc pack too, actually, but still :v:)
[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8745051/facepunch/tiytweetfp_3.png[/img] Yeah, I know, not really news. It's been pretty quiet lately.
Hope they show some of them; it'd be cool to see.

I haven't looked at Tiy's Twitter but the forums had no new info when I checked them the other day.
I really hope with the beginning of a new month we actually see SOMETHING. Tiy did mention he wanted to show us some actual gameplay footage. Hell anything would be appreciated at this point; I mean it's one thing to show a little secrecy to build hype in its own way, but they stay too tight lipped and it's going to have the opposite effect.
It may not be that they're purposefully being tight lipped. It may be that they are trying to get to a certain point before updating us but they're behind schedule.

Maybe I should have said "They lack motivation to do things efficiently".
[QUOTE=Wiiunite;35787493]Or maybe they are just being lazy since the small amount of hype about their game died down weeks ago. Maybe I should have said "They lack motivation to do things efficiently".[/QUOTE] Yeah and the only reason the hype died down is DUE to the lack of info. And really if the devs don't have enough actual progress done on their game to share more, then they really shouldn't have announced it to begin with. I mean if they didn't announce the game and launch the site til say... Now, then we'd all still be fairly hyped
They just want to have the core things up and running as soon as possible, and show off an actual, working, unaltered gameplay video. And then just focus on adding extra content/squashing bugs for the release.
After lurking a little on the starbound forums, it looks like Tiy had mentioned on the IRC chat they're gonna put out a video sometime this weekend. [quote] <@Tiy> going to attempt to put a video out this weekend <@Tiy> or shortly after <@Tiy> showing off forest generation, water, some other bits and piececs [/quote] Here's hoping we actually see some more footage.
well its more than the cube world twitter has seen, it hasn't moved since his last mention of getting a homepage setup.
Looks like Tiy's asking people on Twitter if they'd want one big video showcasing all of the environmental stuff, or have it broken into portions, with Water being the first. I'd personally like to see portions. Because it'd mean just seeing more of the actual damn game :v:

Amazing, truly amazing.
Looks awesome! I wonder if we can now walk up the hills instead of jumping all the time, also [quote]Hopefully we’ll get a video out to you this weekend or shortly after showing some more of this stuff off.[/quote] from that blog post. Can't wait to see it in action.
I hope they get rid of the terraria like hills though.
[QUOTE=Lance99;35824126]I wonder if we can now walk up the hills instead of jumping all the time...[/QUOTE] You can, that's been confirmed. It was also shown in the lighting demo some months ago.
We're gonna be able to travel without too much jumping, i'm somewhat sure of it.
[QUOTE=joost1120;35824445]I hope they get rid of the terraria like hills though.[/QUOTE] Terraria hills are much much steeper than these hills.
[QUOTE=gazzy_GUI;35823973][url]http://playstarbound.com/biomes/[/url][/QUOTE] Those look tons better than the Terraria ones. The Terraria ones got pretty boring pretty quickly. Looks likes these ones can have variances even within one type of biome. (At least color-wise.) To elaborate on this point, it looks to me like all three of those images are basic grass biomes. Edit: Reading what Tiy said, that looks to be exactly the case actually. :v: [QUOTE=joost1120;35824445]I hope they get rid of the terraria like hills though.[/QUOTE] They don't look as steep as Terraria's hills tend to be plus since you can walk up one block heights without jumping I'd assume they won't really be an issue.
[img]http://playstarbound.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/4.png[/img] Here, have another screenshot
I've got a really good feeling about this game... Can't wait to see more gameplay footage. And one more thing awesome, I've got this nostalgia feeling when I was looking at the old Spore footage... Those weird biomes. Don't know why but, I like this.
That's amazing.
I love how the trees kind of look like trees, and not just a pile of brown blocks. Well weird, alien trees of course, but trees.
