Dungeon entrance[/QUOTE]
Oh no, I remember what happened last time I tired to enter a giant bird's mouth.

[QUOTE=ironman17;37945895]I hope these personalities are more than just cosmetic; it'd be cool to have a character's personality determine "special options" in dialogue. That is, if there is actual dialogue (in text) as opposed to the NPCs saying something and then you choose an option in the text box that usually doesn't even come close to dialogue.[/QUOTE]
To be honest I don't really want dialogue.

[QUOTE=lifehole;37946002]Dungeon looks very similar to terraria's; hoping it isn't a copy with artstyle-building wise.
(and yes I know this is made by mostly different people)[/QUOTE]
The art style is vaguely similar in a "low resolution" sort of way but the dungeon design couldn't be more different than Terraria's. Terraria's dungeons were just a colored group of blocky rooms with a castle looking structure on top. Starbound's dungeon designs are directly related to which race they come from and are hand crafted to be unique rather than rather boring like Terraria's.

I am talking about art design and not gameplay design; and when I say art design I mean graphics design and the striking similarity I would see between a set of terrarias wall tiles and these wall tiles; etc.

Ah... About the hand crafted thing, the dungeons may have their unique feel from the races, they're going to be procedurally generated. The difference here is the generation should be a little more in depth and have more to offer than hallways filled with [sp]skeletons[/sp]
One of the devs just posted something earlier yesterday about how they're refining the generation system even further, so we should still be good. Of course the devs also mentioned there's going to be hand-made story areas for us to play through, those should be good as well.

well stone bricks can't look all that different, after all they're still just bricks.
So guys, what are you going to play as first?
Unless the other two races are any better I'm going for a plant person. I love their visual design.
Cat in an exosuit. There's no better race.

I suppose I wasn't quite clear enough on what I meant. I was talking about Tiy or whoever that was on the Starbound site announcing that they were going to use that image thing for the rooms. It'll be a massive improvement over Terraria's completely random mess.

Probably human. I tend to play as human even if a game had tons of different races.
[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;37955634]Cat in an exosuit. There's no better race.[/QUOTE] wiener dogs with jetpacks.
I like humans unless other races have really cool looks/backstories. It just feels more right for some reason.
lizard action
gotta rrerr in space
I think i'll try to be a Falco wannabe when I get this game; Avian with a roguish build maybe.
[QUOTE=Xilo;37956130]wiener dogs with jetpacks.[/QUOTE]
Their idle animation could be them wagging their tails and then doing mid air loops.

To make this perfect: Your strongest attack involves dropping a tank into the fray

You'll have three following you around, right?

All but the last one look like they're in a mid-pelvic thrust. Still a nice touch though. This is turning into one of those 2D games with more depth than most 3D ones

I think the top-right and bottom-left might be different races. Call it a hunch.

I haven't payed any attention to this game.
Then I found this thread.
Let's just say I put aside some dosh for the people who are making it.

I'm probably gonna go human, but if there are cat mechs...

The lighting is so clean now, in fact the game just looks clean now.
I like the lighting

Tiy just posted this. Nice to see a large variation of decorative items (and back wall blocks)
Edit: And a robotic lamp.
