Hi there,

So today was another round of bug fixes and technical changes.

A lot of work has gone into getting msvc working nicely with Starbound, which will make it far easier for us to debug and bug fix in the future.

We’ve made sure stack traces are as informative as possible.

We’ve revamped our performance logging / charts to display additional data.

Vsync and triple buffering were made optional in direct 3D mode, improvements were made to D3D error reporting.

A bunch of GUI work was completed. the GUI is nearing 100% completion. Only a couple more things to add.

The tier 1 boss continues to receive new behaviors (as does it’s minions).

Some bug fixes were made to the weather system.

I managed to get hold of some orange sunglasses so I could work outside, now I have a sunburn.

Hi guys,

So a very dull update today. We took a little break from progress to bug fix and performance enhance.

It’s been a really good day for debugging, we’ve increased the framerate, massively reduced the bandwidth requirements when hosting a server, decreased the minimum required specs. All really important stuff, but sadly nothing that translates into a good screenshot. (It even gives me the wrong fps if I try to take a screenshot with the fps counter enabled! :@!)

Of course our artists have been plugging away at more biomes and content.

Here’s an image I posted earlier today from a playtest + balance session. We’re polishing and fine tuning the core gameplay now. I think one day soon I’m going to stream some tier 1 gameplay. Tier 1 takes you through the tutorial quests, teaches you to build a camp and survive whilst improving your equipment. It ends of course with an awesome boss fight.
