Here, have another screenshot[/QUOTE]
That must be the anti-tree hugger forest. :v:
[QUOTE=Onyx3173;35825909]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:
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.[/QUOTE]
That's not what I mean. I mean the pyramid block style hills.
[QUOTE=joost1120;35826086]That's not what I mean. I mean the pyramid block style hills.[/QUOTE]
um, in a way with blocks that's all hills are, pyramid styled hills, that's every hill.
I know, but that's what I want to be different. It looks like shit. It didn't annoy me that much in Terraria, because you had to jump over every block.

So you mean this then?

Cause that's actually kinda irrelevant. You can walk up that without jumping and the world is kinda made of blocks anyways. Adding in half blocks and shit would take a ton more work on top of all the work they already have sunk into the game and will have to sink into it in the future. It's a rather pointless visual change is all.
It looks horrible visually.
It doesn't really look all that bad. Especially not enough for it to be a huge deal. It's certainly far better than the massive blocks in Minecraft.
My god, This looks amazing . I can't wait for this game!
It's not that bad, though having "technical blocks" that form like a slant or curve to smooth out the land shape would be a nice kind of finishing touch, maybe something that could be modded or put in as part of a future patch.
while nothing major. There's been a few things discussed on the Starbound forums. mainly stuff like Tiy asking how weapons should be rendered in players hands, as well as showing off how far one can zoom in while playing:

Rather than quoting the massive IRC stuff, I'll just condense it:
+ The Chucklefish team are planning on publishing another game in the mean time before Starbound, [B]The purchase of this game will in turn help development for Starbound[/B]
+ Someone mentioned adding a feature for crafting that adds any items stored in nearby containers, Tiy took it into consideration
+ Tiy mentioned saving Characters will work Similar to Neverwinter Nights "If a server (every server is a universe) only allow new characters, the character is stored on the server. You can still export it if you want to change server with this character (for a server that doesn't force new chars) though. If you come back to the first server, the character will be as you left it (without your progression on the new server)."
+ They're also considering a stealth mechanic. As Tiy mentioned there's benefits to walking sometimes rather than running everywhere

Just use [t] tags instead of quoting it like that. Like this:

I didn't see anything posted here about it but it seems redigit could be planning one last thing for terraria.

News post pretty much explains everything but for the lazy: Developer looking at suggestion threads, mentions he's "planning something big".
I've been catching up on the last updates from Terraria recently and somehow I only just heard of this
can't believe I missed this somehow, looks neat

Is it just me or does the lighting look less square in nature than Terraria's? Not blocky, I mean the entire shape of the lit area. In Terraria, it seemed to make more or less a diamond shape while what little I can see in that pic looks a bit more rounded like it should.

There was a video they made about the new lighting a while ago.
Said Video

Where the hell did you find that? I just checked Tiy's twitter and I didn't see a link to that one anywhere.
Really nice looking though, sure would be even nicer to see this game in MOTION though.

Oh, was there? I must've managed to miss it. Whoops.
i want a disco ball like from terraria.
[QUOTE=Xilo;35900517]i want a disco ball like from terraria.[/QUOTE]
That shit wasn't bright enough honestly. I was hoping to create something that'd be seizure inducing with my 50 or so disco balls but it was pathetic.
Starbound is using Vectors, Terraria just did a fill thing.
[QUOTE=MuTAnT;35900664]That shit wasn't bright enough honestly. I was hoping to create something that'd be seizure inducing with my 50 or so disco balls but it was pathetic.[/QUOTE] with how they are doing lighting better, they might be able to make it shift colors and possibly have the spots like a real mirror ball that would exist within the lighting effect.
Another two screenshots that were posted in the IRC:

Ketchup robot. Apparently there's gonna be dumb little things you can make for your station to run around for the fun of it. I want ketchup robots in every room :v:
Jesus more stuff:

There's also talk of mini biomes, biomes within biomes.

The last pic actually looks really good in full screen 1920x1080.
I think I'll have a go at this. Looks like something I'd be able to enjoy on the weekends.
