Anyone else worried?

One of the problems with unreleased games is we're all imagining it being our perfect game, the definition of which will be different for everyone. So it won't be as perfect as we imagine it.. Unless you're Tiy or something.

 

I'm trying to expect little of the game, so when it comes out, it will be more amazing. But that's hard to do. BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE EPIK!!!1 AAAGHHHHH. Hopefully. ._.

 

There is absolutely no reason to say that the game is not going to be completed, or to claim that it isn't really in production. I have spent almost a month so far speaking with the developers on a daily basis, and I'm here to tell you they are not quitting, "fizzling out" or otherwise. The game, according to Tiy himself, is "quite far along." The team have already done extensive testing behind the scenes, and just because its not all done in the public eye, that doesn't mean it isn't happening. I think its quite unfair to the team in general to suggest that they're lying about Starbound being everything they have designed it to be.

 

No, See: Minecraft.

 

We weren't suggesting that they would, but that the game wouldn't live up to expectations. (which is surely not going to happen )

 

From what i've seen so far, the only way this game could "fizzle out" is if they WANTED it to. And let's be honest, why would they do that.

 

This game isn't "fizzling out" If anything it is picking up steam.
They just implemented the new lighting yesterday, and apparently they are very far along in development.
One of the reasons we haven't seen proper gameplay, is because Tiy wants a certain standard of things to be in place before he starts showing what they have,

The thing you need to understand is, This is a team of perfectionists. They don't lower the bar to appease the fans.
Now if we all wait patiently, we will be rewarded handsomely with our hearts delight.

 

Have you not seen the lighting video? All of these features are already implemented! And the idea that the Developers are just going to quit when they have already done so much is very unlikely. They are working constantly to get the work done. Just because the release date is far in the future does not mean we have to doubt its existence!

 

I'm not too worried. Even if they run out of money to develop it most of us are already throwing our money at the screen. We'd probably triple whatever amount they needed.

And Tiy, we are willing to wait as long as that time is being used effectively. Some of us are willing to wait even if you are playing XBox in your office.

 

They need to set something up for us to donate to them. Im sure alot of people would.

 

Not worried. The Lighting video shows how far into development this game really is, its going to be great.

 

I have no doubt I'll love the game, but I do share some concerns that some of the features it has promised (since there are so, so many) may not be as big and great as our imaginations may stretch them out to be. But who knows, every single bit may be incredible. I'm naturally skeptical though and more of a visual person, so I won't love it til I try it myself

 

To be honest, it sounds and looks so AWESOME but I'm worried as to whether they can do it. It's definitely gunna be awesome, but will it be THAT awesome?

 

I'm not afraid. I'm pretty confident that it'll turn out well. I mean, look at the lighting system. Did that disappoint?
Also, what Tiy said above seems true. Stay tuned on the gameplay videos and you can see if it's really your "dream game."

 

Seconded, there's a lot of passion here and with how closely Chucklefish is working with the community and updating us with details, I doubt we'll have any unreasonable expectations. I think more than anything with the way games have been going as of late we're all just a bit worried our game will become the next Duke Nukem, or Brink, and that's completely justified, but personally I believe when a team holds something like this so close to their hearts, it's less about making the game a product, and more about making it an experience and a culture.

 

I am not really worried. I know that some on this forum will get their hopes up so high that nothing will ever satisfy them, that's just immaturity.
If the game is created with similarities to Terraria, but with planets in space, it will sell quite well and the developers will make a handsome profit.

 

I still hold to the notion that the game is already playable to some extent
even if they have to stop (which they wont) they could just produce what they have and we would still pay for it most likely

 

Yeah the game already looks like a revolutionary platformer, there is no reason why the code would just fall apart. It isn't a building that will crumble from wear, and I don't think the developers are going to ragequit and delete all their work.

 

This increased my faith tremendously.
