Today’s game is Starbound. I guess we’re on a Indie Pixelgame binge now. First OneShot, then Undertale, and now this today. And not only did i play this today, i bought a friend a copy of OneShot and sat in call with him while he played it. So i guess this is just the kind of mood i’m in. I should play Stardew to round it out.
We played this too just relax. as i had been up all day helping move heavy stuff and wasn’t in the mood for anything too complex. So i just booted up a save with whatever workshop stuff was leftover.

I ended up making a Lamia (from a mod i assume is from my friend) named Rima. I actually kind of like her design. Something about the green of her scales and hair I’m a fan of. I kind of want to try writing Lore for her but can’t come up with anything.

I took her down to the planet to explore while waiting on my friend, and i don’t know if it’s a mod or what, but there’s these winged dragon things that kept killing me. By the 5th death i just went and did the tutorial, which i avoid like the plague due to being drained by it.

After doing the crystal boss fight, which thankfully wasn’t too long, we went and fixed up the ship. The entire fight honestly was more of a social hour. I like the mechanic of climbing up and down the rungs to hit the switches, but me and my friend had did this so many times by now it was second nature. We were talking about Sci-fi during it.

After this my friend had to go to bed, and i probably should too (is this what getting old feels like?). We took a group photo together at the outpost though to commemorate this save, just in case we never touch it again.


Honestly, if anything, is overrated. It had a very promising beta that was ruined by further development. And then was further tarnished by the facts of its abusive development coming to light.
I’m not saying that no one should enjoy it. If you like it, that’s great. But it very much didn’t live up to its potential.
Abusive development?
