14th October – Roads? We don’t need roads…

Hey there! Supernorn here with another update for you all!

So what’s been happening?

• Metadept has been working on more weapon abilities
• Healthire has started the implementation of some of our new unique monsters
• GeorgeV has been working on more unique monsters, we’re currently at around 50+!
• Samuriferret has been working on new lore codexes, including some hylotl specific stuff!
• Tccoxon has been working on more procedural quests
• Kyren and myself have been working on art and implementation of a feature that’s been a long time coming!

It’s still a massive work in progress, but here’s a sneak peek…

As if that wasn’t enough, here’s another round of monsters for you all to gaze at!

Lastly, just a reminder that you should check out the Penguin Plush campaign on Kickstarter, if you haven’t already!

Until next time!

9th October – Penguin Plushies!

A while back, master toy designer Erick Scarecrow from ESC Toys approached us with an idea about making some Starbound collectibles!

In Starbound, penguins are sentient beings, living and working alongside the galaxy’s other races. Despite their outwardly cute appearance, they are mischievous rogues who prefer the darker underbelly of society. Some penguins have achieved great renown as scientists, black market dealers and even space pirates!

Erick picked up on this and decided our penguins were really cool, so with our support he’s launching a Kickstarter for a set of limited edition penguin plushes! This will allow ESC Toys to gauge how much interest there is in Starbound merchandise. We think these are super awesome and would love for them to exist! Check out the campaign for more details!

On the development front, we’ve continued to work on vehicles, secondary weapon attacks, monsters, and also horizontal projectile platforms. :)

<3 Happy Friday, everyone!
