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.

‘Sup Glitch

———————

The Glitch were part of a program invented by an unknown race of enormous intelligence, they were built as a means of simulating the social and technological progress of a civilization.

These experiments took place in a vast number of regions across the Universe, despite changing a plethora of variables each civilization eventually destroyed itself when its technological progression began to overtake its social progression.  All but the Glitch.

For reasons unknown a fault caused the Glitch to become stuck early in the simulation, where they now remain. The experiment long abandoned, the Glitch are unable to shake their Medieval values and beliefs. They’re entirely unaware of their origin and are built to experience the feelings and desires of any other sentient organism.

The Glitch reproduce by finding a mate and physically building a new Glitch together. Occasional faults in this process has caused Glitch to be produced free from the limitations of their programming. Entirely self aware and full of advanced knowledge, these Glitch are generally thought to be insane and are hunted, imprisoned and executed.

Small numbers of  faulty Glitch have managed to escape their homeworlds and set up villages amongst the Stars.
