Having Terraria definitely makes the waiting easier for me.

Every time someone mentions Broforce, I think of Broquest and get disappointed at how it failed to exist.

Yes, its like the rest of dota 2 unreleased characters with Legion Commander on the top.

[url=#user_comment_329895]@Humorist[/url] Ill let her know to have your doggie suit ready :3

[url=#user_comment_329825]@Me[/url]: Gonna be kinky next week.

[url=#user_comment_329825]@Me[/url]: Cool story. Didn't know she fucked dogs.

Very nice one, i like it! Specialy when i read todays news where tiy states that they got allready zillions of stuff and still no single word about release or else! It´s gettin really ricioulus at starbound! xD

[url=#user_comment_329277]@Humorist[/url] Of course she is, been 80 and senile, even a lap dog will make her day. :3

@My E-penis is Bigger.: Lol, professional trolls?

Professional implies it's a profession - lawyer, doctor, dentist.

More like Expert Retard, you are. Yep, I'll leave the expert retardness to you.

@OnlyPersonWithCommonSenseOnNerfnow.comEver: Guess what motherfucker, nobody gives a shit that you commented on it first. He was asking Jo a question, not talking to you. Now shut up and leave the trolling to the professionals.

[url=#user_comment_329163]@Me[/url]: If you want a make a premature ejaculation joke, you're not very funny. Your mother is very satisfied by my performance...

[url=#user_comment_329117]@Humorist[/url] so any second now then?

[url=#user_comment_329110]@Me[/url]: Same date of release as me when I'm inside your mom.

The release date for Starbound is the same as Guild Wars 2: it's done when it's done and it will be released when they feel like it.

This reminds me why I dont bother looking up PSO2 updates... updates? pfft, even the updates dont have updates.

Future Engie got her eyes and hair color palettes swapped.

Jo stop being lazy pls.

[url=#user_comment_328611]@Notch[/url]: Considering your mom is shit, getting her off should be tax deductible.

[url=#user_comment_328501]@Raven[/url]: There are plenty of developer streams archived on their Twitch channels with lots and lots of gameplay: http://www.twitch.tv/tiyuri (hit the "Videos" tab)

To be fair, we've been exploring space since at least 1957 with satellites and several centuries before that with telescopes.

How does Future-Engie like TF3?

[url=#user_comment_328579]@KokoisLoco[/url]: Considering vanilla Minecraft is shit, all rip-offs are welcome.

[url=#user_comment_328609]@JStheguy[/url]: That's why.

Can someone tell me why all the hype over this Starbound thing? From what I can tell it looks like Terraria had a love affair with Space Station 13.

@Boundless Space: minecraft ripoff #823468

sucks ballz

People reading this: GO PLAY STARMADE. IT IS AMAZING.

not to mention that it is a good way to spend your time while you wait for starbound.

Whats with the comics you've been making nowadays, Jo? bad/no punchlines, and they aren't very funny.

You're almost as bad a Tim Buckley at this point.

basic gameplay mechanics shouldn't be a spoiler(if it should be in a game manual, it can't be a spoiler). They should at least show a few videos of the gameplay as the game progresses so people can see the work that is going into it(they even say in the updates that they are playing online already)

[url=#user_comment_327586]@Hersheys[/url]: That can also mean that they are spending more time on the updates than actually doing the game(and the updates seem pretty small for actual content when you look at what they claim they did that day). I know they say they don't want to put too many spoilers out, but some of the cont...

Point of yours is moot, flockoffguy. now flock off.

@FlockOffReally?: I didn't compare the games

I said one is better

You can compare different games, like you can compare different fruits.

Like, apple is better than orange because god said so.

[url=#user_comment_328432]@Huea[/url]: If you saw the official statements made on the IRC, you'd know they made absolutely no promises regarding those dates. It's just what the community does: hype goes in, BS comes out.

So are you people aware that others are angry because they LIED about release dates, not that it's been in development? I don't think it'd be such an issue if they did put out at least 6 different release dates that have all long since been past(none the less beta dates).

Alien tentacle = win xD

@OnlyPersonWithCommonSenseOnNerfnow.comEver: Anyone that's not an idiot knows never to compare games that aren't in the same genre, it's completely pointless.

[url=#user_comment_327938]@LastDay[/url]: so it's even more of a ripoff

engie-tan has become a GILF for the photo noters

Just have to have a game you read about right now no matter what, eh? Gotta love the spoiled brats nowadays.

Heaven forbid that a game is actually completed before being released. You know. Like games used to do? I guess a lot of people here might not understand that ancient concept and rather wait impatiently for the next patch for an incomplete game full of glitches and unbalanced game aspects.

dota 2 is hardly finished as well Jo, with the amount of heroes not yet ported and the number of bugs still in.
personally its better to have it delayed and end up good, take a look at diablo 3 or other games. dota 2, while "released", is hardly complete yet its still enjoyable while getting better

@Insert Witty Name Here: read the fuckin comments cuz ur late

Somehow Jo's managed to find comment trolls that are worse than 4chan and youtube combined.

Mission accomplished?

[url=#user_comment_327851]@Bindal[/url] Don't spread false info. Redigit is the lead designer of Terraria and he has nothing to do with Starbound. He's working on Terraria 1.2. The only person the two games have in common is Tiyuri, who was the pixel artist on Terraria. http://playstarbound.com/team/

oh my god this comments section is the best thing I've ever read

Speaking of space games Jo, have you heard of "Star Citizen" coming out next year? If you haven't you should research it, it looks amazing >w<

[url=#user_comment_327785]@Nanohurtz[/url]: Also, Cube World spent approximately 2 years in development before a playable demo was out. Nice double standard.

[url=#user_comment_327785]@Nanohurtz[/url]: So, judging by the existence of livestreamed footage, often demonstrating things consistent to what's asked in the stream chat, I can assume the developers are extremely skilled animators with psychic powers. Why don't they just predict lottery numbers?

[url=#user_comment_327826]@Bob[/url]: yes it's just another moneygrap by the same guy that did terraria who was lieing and scamming and when getting caught doing so just dropped the game and started a new one which is the same fucking game

[url=#user_comment_327826]@Bob[/url]: Starforge looks ugly

The more you wait, the more hype you get. You better hope that you won't get dissappointed.

Starbound is a Terraia reskin or whatever that game is called.

Everytime I hear of it I think people are talking about StarForge, which seems like it's got competent people behind it.

[url=#user_comment_327749]@Easf[/url]: You flock off, filthy mouthed kid. I'll have your mother wash you mouth with soap! Star Citizen might not even be the same genre, but it'll be WAY better.

[url=#user_comment_327642]@Pootis[/url] I don't have time to hold your hand and think for you. Cubeworld at least presented its users with a simple vb demo. These clowns did not. Any idiot can fake game progress through videos.[url=#user_comment_327628] @Hurk[/url] you would know about butt hurt right faggot? They should have not lied about dates. /end-rant.

@common oh and both at least look worth the wait in their respected genres

@common both games are still in development, both are keeping us updated with their progress, both are set to come within the next couple of years at most.

imo calling one a scam over the other is pointless. wait till they go past their projected release date. THEN throw the scam card.

You know, there was a guy on the Starbound subreddit that made a new account every day, just to post a single nasty comment about the lack of a beta.

He went into hiding a while back, but it looks like we found him again.

@OnlyPersonWithCommonSenseOnNerfnow.comEver: starbound and star citizen aren't even in the same gameplay genre, fuck off.

@OnlyPersonWithCommonSenseOnNerfnow.comEver: Star what?

Star Citizen is where it's at.

Fuck Starbound scam.

Heh. This reminds me of another comic.

http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/03/17

I'm an indie game dev who's been working on a game for about 2 years, and am maybe 30-40% of the way done with it. Work on it a few hours a week. One of my friends has been working on a game for 5 years. One for 8. We are hobbyists working solo, but still. A team makes it slower, not faster.

Looking at their website, it seems like they only first announced that they'd started the project about 16-17 months ago? That's, uh, very short. From the comic I was expecting some Duke Nukem Forever type stuff; like eight years or more. Very few games are made in under a year, how is this long?

"delaying it too long" resulted in Ocarina of Time. Just saying.

Though I am just playing devil's advocate. I agree with you there.

[url=#user_comment_327615]@Nanohurtz[/url]: Also, gameplay footage and livestreams of the game exist. If you could explain how those are fake, that would be nice.

Where are the TF2 comics? What is the meaning of this? (comic and lack of TF2 comics)

also it should have been a brain in a jar

[url=#user_comment_327615]@Nanohurtz[/url]: If you can back your statements with more than just wild assumptions, that'd be great.

[url=#user_comment_327615]@Nanohurtz[/url] Hmm, more like butthurtz amiriteeeeeeeeeee

duke nukem forever

People who paid are scared to speak up for fear of banning. Instead of being honest and clear, they are burning bridges. Even if they made up a date they wouldn't come across as frauds. I think its time Paypal was told the truth about shiesty operations like starbound and launch an investigation.

So in the future, Jo gets ousted and replaced by his good twin, Green Tentacle?

Anyone can make daily updates with absolutely no proof that it will come out. Its called a shell game. Just needs a few people for the con. Again, why no dates? Why go from a full release to a "maybe beta" this year. Seems to me Chucklefish is going backwards. All Tiy is doing is waffling. Tsk tsk.

[url=#user_comment_327532]@Faggot[/url] Faggot. If Starbound was legit, this comic strip would not exist and you wouldn't have to make a disclaimer like a blind lackey of Tiy. 2012,nothing. 2013, nothing. Any bet 2014 will be nothing. Starbound, or is it Starmade? (lol) will come and go like a fart in the wind. Get a refund.

Nice thing about Starbound though is that they're releasing -daily- updates! You know they're at least hard at work on it, unlike some games that go super silent...

@Tsk Tsk
You can always pretend that Engie is wearing a HEV suit on 3rd panel.

[url=#user_comment_327480]@Dave[/url]: Add in Terraria's set for big update around the end of July/early August, so plenty to do around that time waiting for whenever it's big brother comes out :P

No one has ever been banned for asking about the release date, Nanohurtz. I realize you're just trolling but I'm posting this as a disclaimer for anyone who would be mislead by your comments.

They are developing as they get cash from unsuspecting people. No project plan or real roadmap. This game is doomed to failure as other big titles like ffxiv, and elder scroll ramp up with actual release dates and a beta people can touch. Chucklefish is pathetic. Not even a 1 room beta.

Thier community is brainwashed with phrases like "soon" and "alot of little things completed" as if you any apply any metrics with such nebulous words. So brainwashed they are that dare you actually ask for a beta date, and you get banned from the site

Missed a Half-Life 3 reference there jo.
Gordon couldve been a cameo in the screen of 3rd panel

well the first demo is getting released on august 24-26th for that uk thing so maybe September?

Well there is always Terraria while you wait. :D
Also the comic is true if you swap Starbound with Half-life 3.

I don't know about you guys, but the future looks quite promising to me: Engie-tan will turn into a sexy cougar and finally Jo will go back to his original alien form! Radical!

As for Starbound release... probably nobody will ever know.

Silver hair, red eyes *rawr*
Btw why space suit inside the building ?

Worst thing: Long time span for a release and then you get a bad game on top of that. In any case bugs need to be fixed. *points to Gothic 3*
Also some games: Glorious start, awful mid-game/ending. Add time as needed to fix.

@Nial Iwakura
Abusing your status of a registered user? Fine - take her; I still have Ayanami Rei and you can't take her away from me.

On the topic: Never heard about "Starbound" before. Enjoyed Tales of Graces F (Sophie!) Now, i hope they'll release english version of Xillia 2 before ps4...

Don't worry guys, i read every daily updates, and most of the main features of the game are done. They finish the quest system, do a few fixes, and the beta is here imo.

"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship NerfNOW. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out if Starbound will ever released!"

[url=#user_comment_327267]@Ender[/url]. read the " i will buy it when it's out." in the most tired deadpan tone you can conjure.

I know how you feel Joe. At this point my stance on starboud is that i will buy it when it's out.
I am sick of waiting for it, so for the time i prefer to focus on stuff that is out, or at least have a more tangible release date, like terraria 1.2 update.

hilarious transformation.

I too have been waiting for starbound since it was first revealed.

nice tits

(2/2) Secondly, release is confirmed for this year and we're already half-way through it. I agree that it seems /agonizing/ long to wait for it, but it isn't actually.

(1/2) I disagree. I felt the same way before the preorders, but since then there's a status update every day detailing what and how much is being done, and the road-map is updated each month. I like a lot of what I hear, the progress seems tangible.

I sort of disagree. In most cases I feel that the wait usually results in an all around better game, even if it becomes a bit different from original ideas. It will likely still be enjoyable after all the effort that's gone into it. Exception being Duke Nukem, but that's an extreme case.

Same happen on zomboid

WHERE'S THE JOKE BUCKLEY YOU SAID THERE'D BE A JOKE

Engi-tan looks either older or tired.(I don't care for Starbound(.

Jesus fuck it's been a matter of months.

Starbound link doesn't work!!!

At least it isnt as bad as star command. They hyped up the game like nothing else saying it will be for all platforms. Then after many delays, they only release it for the iCrap devices. Months have gone by and still no release for PC or android. At this point I dont even want to play it anymore.

I know exactly what you mean, but I am still stupid excited for Starbound. But it may just be because space games are my sweet spot, and I clocked like 500 hrs in Terraria, so a Space Terraria is like friggin cocaine to me.

B^U

In fact it may be demonstrating that they're incapable of doing it properly at all. This may or may not be the case with starbound, and I really want to like the game, but the studio behind it is making me not. I feel it's going to be a bunch of half and forgotten promises.

It's what happens when you have 6 artists and no coder and the dump all the preorder money you get into your other projects.

Also waiting longer doesn't mean it's going to be more polished or finished. It just means they're taking a long time to do a task.

Ayanami-Engie is mai vaifu!
