Hello!

Yesterday Metadept talked about how we’ve been implementing some new weapon types. Today he’s been testing out fists! Emphasis on testing – this isn’t their final design.

We did some streaming last night as well, so check that out on Twitch if you missed it. Also – Harriet has made an awesome tiled background for the new forum theme, but I thought some of you might like to use it, too. :)

What do you think? Let me know if you’d like me to upload more colors!

<3 ‘Til tomorrow!

It’s Friday!

We’ve finished up the first pass of all of the new generated weapons and are now working on some more unique ones. We’ve also finished up a massive load of work on generated quests, so I’ll try to get some sort of detailed technical post up next week talking about how it all works!

Lots of unique monsters are being fully implemented now as well, and I can’t wait to test them against some of the new weapon abilities. :)

‘Til Monday! <3

(I’m sorry.)

Hellooo! Happy Thursday!

We’ve had loads of stuff going on this week. GameCity starts today, so yesterday Harriet and Rosie went up to Nottingham to get us all set up with the help of our friends at Creeperhost! If you’re in the area, stop by and participate in Operation Colonisation and you’ll get a super cool penguin sticker. :D

Time to reveal some more monsters! Meet Squeem, Crabcano, and Smoglin!

Look at Crabcano go! He’s so adorably mad that you just kind of want to give him a hug and tell him to calm down – don’t do that though, because he will spit fiery rocks at you.

This means that all of the monsters in this image have been revealed – but no worries! There are still plenty of monsters we’ve yet to show off.

In other news, Erick Scarecrow/ESCToy has just announced a new stretch goal for their Penguin Plush Kickstarter! 

Many of you are already familiar with the Shockhopper Mk I Mech and Penguin Tank as in-game enemies! They’d probably look even cooler if your characters were driving them.

Because we’re so excited at the prospect of seeing Starbound’s penguins out in the world in cuddly plush form, if Erick’s Kickstarter reaches $55k, we’ve agreed to make the Penguin Tank and Penguin Mech available as in-game vehicles! You can check out ESCToy’s Penguin Plush Kickstarter here.

‘Til tomorrow!
