September 19th – Welcome to my garden!

Evening all!

Apologies for the lack of update yesterday! The team’s really been kicking the pace up a notch with sweeping changes across the board. I’ve been constantly sidetracked from the Glitch mission to do a bunch of configuration work, fixing a handful of UI elements, updating objects and adding a few new sounds to boot. That said, the mission is pretty thoroughly mapped out in my concepts now, so I have begun building and been chipping away at it whenever I’ve not been on some other task. The case being that this is a Glitch mission, it of course involves a castle.

Castle Gardens

I’m trying to establish a greater sense of scale than the generated glitch castle dungeons, so expect it to be quite open. It’s a bit bare since it’s still in early stages, but hopefully this peek at the castle gardens will give you some sense of what I’m going for. What exactly will be happening at this castle? I’ll leave you to speculate!

In case you missed it, Tiyuri posted over on our new Chucklefish blog earlier today. If you’ve had concerns about the longevity of Starbound lately, I suggest giving it a read. We’re not giving up this project of passion any time soon, and we’re gunning to get the next stable update to you as soon as we can. Thank you everyone for your continuous support and patience.

Until next time!
