Afternoon!

One of our recent updates created a separate app for Starbound’s unstable/nightly branches, so now players can install that alongside the stable version. This is a pretty cool addition for those who want to check out the changes in the nightly without risking their saves in the current stable! However, some of you aren’t so into the idea of having two Starbound apps in your Steam library. Happily, there’s a fix for that. :)

In your Steam library, right click on the app you want to hide. Select set categories -> hide this game. Voila!

Today:

• Metadept finished working on changes to humanoids, which added additional ways to configure races and individual NPCs. Now he’s onto bug fixes and enhancements to the quest system.
• Most of the art team has been working with Healthire on various missions!
• Supernorn has moved onto overhauling swords.

• Tccoxon has been implementing/testing features for colonies. Here’s a test that shows a wizard scanning some walls!

In other news! — We’ve had a boring old table sitting around the office for ages and we weren’t quite sure what to do with it, until we remembered that so many of you have created incredible Starbound fan art over the years and not nearly enough of it was on display… so with a bit of spare time, we turned our super boring table into an awesome community collage.

Hark! A fan art table! The finished product is fun to stare at. It still needs a coat of varnish, and sometime soon I’ll grab a better camera and take some proper photos, but we hope you like it as much as we do. :)

That’s all for today. ‘Til next time! <3
