Not just a little bit of it but the entire planet. I want him to lead my expedition.ДЄs well as finding weird and wonderful new worlds, it's possible to make a planet your home. Oh yeah, the penguins.Д¬reatures from different space sectors! Is the one on the right with the shell pointing the way? I think so. I think this is a game in which I can be a space botanist with a pet space penguin and I didn't realise how much I've longed for such a thing until moments ago. Not only that, but each and every planet has unique coordinates in the Universe that you can share online, so other players can check out exactly what you found! So whilst the game is fully coop (Bring your friends along! Form an expedition!) you can also record your findings in an electronic logbook. See a weird alien tree? Examine it! Maybe youвЂ™ll discover something about its use! For any explorer, sharing discoveries is important. Much like old school point and click adventures, absolutely every object in the world, right down to the trees and flowers, can be examined for a description. Starting from a space station, which can be upgraded and populated with the rare and the wonderful, the player can gather crews, produce mechs and explore the universe.Д«ecause weвЂ™re working so hard to make each planet unique, we want to give you the tools to catalogue the things you find and make sure absolutely everything you find has depth in the world. Although blocks can be harvested and homes can be built, Starbound's creators seem more interested in building worlds for the player, or at least building the tools that build the worlds, rather than spaces for the player to fill. The most exciting thing about Starbound isn't the directional lighting, it's the idea of a game about exploration and discovery, along with the crafting and construction. Thrillingly, the only video I've found is a lighting demo. There's a lot more variety in terms of creatures and landscapes as well, with procedurally generated flora and fauna.

For one, rather than seeding standalone worlds, Starbound takes place on planets which can be visited by other players, provided you pass them the coordinates. Yes, it's a side-scrolling game with mining and construction, a similar visual style, and, yes, there's crossover in some of the design talent, but there are plenty of differences as well. It was probably when the first screenshot from Starbound emerged onto the hazy plains of the internet that a law was passed making it illegal to refer to the game without nodding approvingly and saying, 'Huh, Terraria in space I guess'.
