I'm curious as to how big each planet will be.

Apparently, they can be up to infinite... or where they talking about number of planets? i forgot.

Infinite size Planets!? Mindblowing!

Yeah, I just read that in the IRC Q&A thing.

I'm starting to wonder how taxing this game will be now for multiplayer.

[FenixR]

Apparently, not as much as one would expect but thats something i dont remember the exact words. (its also in the Q&A iirc)

Basicly, size is from inside cavanas to infinite.
Also, difficulty of each planet is from 1-100.
Planned to make 100 challenging, even with end-game equip.
I wonder how that will happen.

If you played Terraria, you would know that after you started hardmode, things were still pretty difficult even with EndGame Equips.

And since the game doesnt have a Leveling system like terraria, its even more easy to balance endgame stuff mostly.

I don't recall terraria having a leveling system...

[MuscleWizard]

I don't recall terraria having a leveling system...

finding heartstones/mana crystals etc

[FenixR]

"And since the game doesnt have a Leveling system like terraria"

Ergo since terraria didnt have a leveling system this game doesnt since to have one too.

or This game wont have a leveling system exactly like terraria.

Catch my drift?

[Raph589]

Oh. My bad.

[Shidoshi]

I'll wait before getting this. I have so much stuff on my backlog now that I might as well wait for huge sales on whichever games I want to buy.

I was just speaking with one of the staff members about how taxing multiplayer would be.

Basically, she said that a decent server can have up to 16people at once, but they hope they can make it work with more than that. She also said it shouldn't be taxing on the server unless all those people are separate; e.g. on different planets, but they don't recommend being separate anyway as they want players to work together.

I'm guessing everything is basically ''inactive'' unless someone is actually there.

Edit:

[21:11] <Attribule> Rho_, any plans for tiny piggy monsters?

Man the hype for this game its getting bigger and bigger, and ty said that its a possibility that foreground blocks may also be coded to have true hidden building and stuff yay!

Also, a handy link to keep in mind

Bumping this edited post so people are aware of it.

Anyone else made an entry yet? I imagine a lot of you are on the Starbound forums already, i'd like to see what you can come up with :3
Here's mine (It's ok to laugh at the drawing, because i laugh at it too).

I really like this contest, looking forward to more of these in the future.

I saw yours the day you posted it. I knew ''Razmos'' sounded familiar.

I entered the contest as well. Mine is so bad....

Finally a video. The video demonstrates the lighting in the game.

[Raph589]

The block art and lighting look better than in terraria but the characters are ugly and have big butts =/

[Kirov]

That music sounds very familiar.

[Jon]

Lovely lighting. c:
