Starbound Chronicle first issue!
February 28, 2013 in News
Hi guys,
We’ve just launched our first proper issue of the Starbound Chronicle. If you’ve already signed up it should appear in your inbox sometime today or tomorrow. (We had over 20,000 subscribers in the first couple of weeks of signup, and our server is only sending a limited number at a time). If you don’t want to wait, or you haven’t signed up yet. Just hit the newspaper button on the right bar and you’ll get access to the signup page plus an archive of previous issues.
The first issue contains a bunch of goodies, an exclusive piece from the soundtrack, a document on avian history and some info on development.
Also some community emails and responses.
It’s worth checking out!
Also keep an eye on your spam folder and make sure if it ends up there, you tell your filter it’s not spam. You should be fine receiving the rest of our emails from then on out. Hotmail seems especially prone to doing this right now.
Every day I come to this website, hoping there will be something new. I’ll patiently wait for the issue to arrive in my inbox now. I’m excited :)
Oh hey. Nice Newpaper.
yeah, not just the slight weapon variety but mods definitely would add more depth to the choices in paths, terraria/minecraft are too straightforward for interesting pvp and force one playstyle on everyone.
Any chance you’ll be posting these to the news feed each time? I prefer RSS subscriptions over email ones.
5TH!.
Release date under cryptic code…damn Tiy XD
I absolutely loved the Avian lore especially the parts involving alien contact :D
Very nice :)
why don’t you just get the game out faster? :/
turns out, that haven that writen doesn’t stop the code people from coding at the same time.
Fun Fact.
If you don’t want to wait for the e-mail to come in. Just click the subscribe button, they have it archived there.

What does it meeeeeeaaannnnn :[
it’s a release day 02.22.2039
can any one decode that it might have the release
date
I think the release date is 21/3 , If u see where the asteriks are it says H3Y* -> 3 and 21* so 21/3, idk
so the 21st of this month?
No- that can’t be right because it’s 3/27 and they didn’t release it.
obviously one dot means end of the word, two ore more mean end of the sentence
Something about Q 21. Probably the 21st of this month
Something about Q 2* Probably the 21st of this month
In the Chronicle it says that Tiy replaced every other vowel with an “alphanumeric subset integer” which is basically a number that looks like a letter. So I guess what could be is that this letter is used in an intense version of L33T speak. If no one can decode it for sure then maybe this will help. I think because of the use of *H3Y in the top is quite reveling. So if someone wants to decode it in that sense, life would be good…. Or of coarse Tiy is just a TROLL. >:U
Actually, that code is for an easter egg in the char creator. IronEagle and IFoundaGlitch
@f4dee40dc0fc86b18d2746f0b4f433bd:disqus Because they want to keep us in the loop while they work on making the game even better than it is now which is awesome! :D
Ahhhhhhh, when’s it coming out????
Sweet. Sounds awesome. Can’t wait till game comes out.
I got the mail :D
It is hilarious! Lots of goodies in it too. Seriously, best newsletter ever. It has a comic, it has music, it has lore, it has pink hearts. What more can a man ask for?
The game itself.
*starts chanting*

Someone decipher the code? i’ve try everithing i can and get nothing… shit im desperate
Looks like they are preparing for a long siege…
The only reason they’d release such an in depth newsletter is if they knew the game is not coming out anytime soon. I’m getting tired of this community leeching -.-
they said they would keep newsletter even after the release
Someone can translate ALL text?
Used to be, I would just passively keep an eye on the progress for this game, only checking the site every few months, only the similarity to Terraria having any interest to me.
I read the short bios for each playable race that had been announced so far. They got me more curious, but not really enough to hook me entirely.
I played around with the character creator when it came out, and got a bit more excited, but only just a little.
Then this newsletter came out.
I downloaded the music.
It’s now on my playlist for my favorite songs.
I read the Avian lore.
I now can’t stop thinking about all the different races and their interactions with each other.
Used to be, I would just passively keep an eye on the progress for this game, only checking the site every few months, only the similarity to Terraria having any interest to me.
Now, I am constantly keeping an eye out for even the smallest scrap of new information, checking the site twice a day, and how it could possibly set itself apart from Terraria keeping me hooked.
Awesome newspaper. Though it is still more worthwhile to guess every possible Easter egg than it is to decrypt that message.
Just a heads up, the email went straight to my spam folder, as it thought it was junk. You guys might wanna check that out.
they’ve already addressed this. multiple times.
WNOTU. W = Double U, Double Not U. I am amused.
Если вы плохо знакомы с английским, то на этом сайте есть перевод мартовских Хроник на русский.

Для тех кто плохо знаком с анлийским, я выполнил перевод мартовских Хроник. Все на сайте выше, просто уберите лишние пробелы.
Between you guys, Wildstar, and Elder Scrolls Online, it feels like I am in a never ending vortex of waiting for foxing release dates, or at least Betas in their cases.
I know how u feel xD
Can’t wait for the game guys, not sure if the newsletter means we have a while till release or its a sign of the release being closer…
Less than a month until Terraria hits xBox. Ill spend my time playing that. Then after a year or so, when Starbound finally comes out, I’ll switch over to playing that. Unless its $50, which, with all the time they are supposedly putting into development, it should be.
Yabba Dabba Doo!!!
No release date, I got the blues!
Starbound, oh please forgive me,
Told you to look up and you lost your kidney!
Revenge is a dish best served cold,
Never again will this story be told.

It is a code which was deciphered which contains one of 6 easter eggs for the character creator. you can type in “IronEagle” in the character name to get a special headgear.
hay tie you not giveing us the release date well THATS FINE WE JUST WANT THE RELEASE DATE’S RELEASE DATE XD.
It would be cool if the release was 3/21 as in 3…2…1…blastoff.
Chronicle issue #1 – Mad success.
I want that game soooo much *-*
i hope someday the game comes out….
they said late 2012 and nothing. It seems they are pushing it back more and more. the longer it take the more people give up on it and move on to other games. charging alot for xbox Terraria witch better be going into developement and not in their pockets.
Chucklefish has nothing to do with Terraria. The one in charge of the xbox port is 505 Games. They just want the game to be complete when they release it. Don’t you?
No I dont want a complete game when they release, I want to play beta I dont mind… its more fun when they update and add new features while we are playing
ok well i agree with Mark cuz if they give you a bata you can comment on what you like, don’t like, and what would you want to see added to the game.
RELEASE DATE RELEASE DATE RELEASE DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does this mean we only get updates at the end of the month? I’m perfectly fine with that, but it would be nice to have some updates.
Will you be announcing with a post when there’s a new issue?

any ideas?
WNOTU = W NOT U = Why Not You = Why dont you?
Just a thought
